The one on the left is definitely Pelfrey.

Beltran with the tuba, I think. I like that artwork. It's too bad the Mets shrunk from that Philly rivalry. Their fans will talk about beating us at the tape for the rest of their fan-lives.

Edgy MD Sep 20 2013 02:16 PM Re: IGT 9/20/2013 Mets @ Phillies Return of Sugarpants

I thought it was Wright with the tuba. That series was awful --- culturally anyhow. The News seemed to want the rivalry so bad that they even ran a couple of articles encouraging fans to be dicks, and dispatched some gonzo to show us how it's done, provocatively acting like a dick in order to capture the experience for those of us who didn't have the time or scratch to head down to Philly to get drunk and beat up. It's a winning tabloid formula. Provoke violence. Make violence you incited your lead story. Sell papers. Cash checks. Still, for a brief moment in time, Mike Pelfrey was in ascendance to the point where folks were comfortable and excited even to have their hopes resting on his shoulders with first place on the line. Were we ever so young?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 20 2013 02:41 PM Re: IGT 9/20/2013 Mets @ Phillies Return of Sugarpants

Yup (Wright) and yup. It was standard Snooze practice at the time to assign their metro reporters to write idiotic articles about how the rival city is lame. It was something St. Louis would do.

I really have no interest in being reminded of that series. I did some research a while back and the Game Score that Halladay put up in the middle game of that series was the "best" performance by a pitcher opposing the Mets that I've ever seen in person.

batmagadanleadoff Sep 20 2013 02:48 PM Re: IGT 9/20/2013 Mets @ Phillies Return of Sugarpants

It is Wright. When I first posted that back page three years ago, there was also confusion over the identity of the 2d Met. That was three weeks before Dickey was brought up.

Nice to see David back...

Ashie62 Sep 20 2013 05:04 PM Re: IGT 9/20/2013 Mets @ Phillies Return of Sugarpants

Philadelphia does have Fairmount Park..the largest city park in the U.S.

Is there anybody better than David Wright? damn.

Frayed Knot Sep 20 2013 05:18 PM Re: IGT 9/20/2013 Mets @ Phillies Return of Sugarpants

David Wright's life is a movie Not really, but that was Joe Girardi's quote which got replayed often after Jeter hit a HR in NOT his first AB following a long lay-off. Jeet's HR (the only one he'd hit this year) was in his first AB in his second comeback of this season after he had missed just a week.

Zvon Sep 20 2013 05:52 PM Re: IGT 9/20/2013 Mets @ Phillies Return of Sugarpants

Wrights up again. *sits up*

Zvon Sep 20 2013 05:52 PM Re: IGT 9/20/2013 Mets @ Phillies Return of Sugarpants

robbed.

Zvon Sep 20 2013 06:00 PM Re: IGT 9/20/2013 Mets @ Phillies Return of Sugarpants

Thats a big run. A 2 out run.

Zvon Sep 20 2013 06:14 PM Re: IGT 9/20/2013 Mets @ Phillies Return of Sugarpants

Ha. That was just a load of horseshit from Matthews. They might be good, and we knew that, but we never were afraid of them.

Zvon Sep 20 2013 06:18 PM Re: IGT 9/20/2013 Mets @ Phillies Return of Sugarpants

Taking advantage of every opportunity. This is strange.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Sep 20 2013 06:22 PM Re: IGT 9/20/2013 Mets @ Phillies Return of Sugarpants

Just got home from the in-laws-- with kiddie-music en route-- to catch the game in mid-swing. On the list of small, happy surprises, coming home to an in media res Fuck-You game against these mooks is somewhere between coming back from the restaurant bathroom to find your food has been delivered and running into a long-missed friend in an unexpected place.

Way to tempt fate, jackhole.

Good play by Young. Muffy, you hadda catch that! Thats the run thats gonna hurt.

Phils pheed shows Q may have ticked him but they say no. Any definitive view? These guys won't show one.

Kong76 Sep 20 2013 06:39 PM Re: IGT 9/20/2013 Mets @ Phillies Return of Sugarpants

Looked to me on several replays he missed him.

Zvon Sep 20 2013 06:58 PM Re: IGT 9/20/2013 Mets @ Phillies Return of Sugarpants

Hamels is in a groove now. His pitches are snappin'.

Zvon Sep 20 2013 06:59 PM Re: IGT 9/20/2013 Mets @ Phillies Return of Sugarpants

HA! HOW LONG HAVE I WAITED TO SAY IT? MY NEMESIS, UTLEY, HE SUCKS!

Kong76 Sep 20 2013 07:00 PM Re: IGT 9/20/2013 Mets @ Phillies Return of Sugarpants

They couldn't find a hottie to fill in for Kevin B instead of Andy Martino?

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Sep 20 2013 07:00 PM Re: IGT 9/20/2013 Mets @ Phillies Return of Sugarpants

He may make spurious arguments and be entirely too comfortable with the cheap shot in his writing, but Martino's bare-knuckle roster speculation-- as opposed to Guys' charming fluff-- is kind of a tonic during this one, honestly. That said, the voice is kinda killing me.

I was speaking solely of his voice, his content is fine.

Oh, Gary. Please stop talking about how much Murphy loves the "2-hole."

Zvon Sep 20 2013 07:20 PM Re: IGT 9/20/2013 Mets @ Phillies Return of Sugarpants

I heard the out at third on the radio. Philly radio is worse with Tekulve. Blah. Ha! Asche really really sucks. Classic last out at third.

Zvon Sep 20 2013 07:27 PM Re: IGT 9/20/2013 Mets @ Phillies Return of Sugarpants

Runs please. Hamels gone and good riddance. Spank this pen!

Zvon Sep 20 2013 07:48 PM Re: IGT 9/20/2013 Mets @ Phillies Return of Sugarpants

Phils mugs think this ump really sucks. They are right. ha.

Edgy MD Sep 20 2013 08:05 PM Re: IGT 9/20/2013 Mets @ Phillies Return of Sugarpants

Laggy looking for some late beer action with his glove. Hawk too.

Zvon Sep 20 2013 08:06 PM Re: IGT 9/20/2013 Mets @ Phillies Return of Sugarpants

Whoa. Wow, great catch by Laggy. Straight over his head, the toughest of all. Whoa, what a play by Hawkins.

Zvon Sep 20 2013 08:09 PM Re: IGT 9/20/2013 Mets @ Phillies Return of Sugarpants

Very good game. Wright gets the last out. It is soooooo good to see him back. I want the Mets to play this series like its a playoff that means something, cause it does, to me, and this is a great start.

Edgy MD Sep 20 2013 08:10 PM Re: IGT 9/20/2013 Mets @ Phillies Return of Sugarpants

If the pants are sweet The Phils will be beat
