IGT -- Mets @ Phils, 5/10

Johnny Dickshot May 10 2006 09:28 AM

I am declaring an ABP for the Met offense tonight. I want to see them score a dozen runs and bounce back from their minislump. I want David Wright to be in the middle of not one but three run-scoring rallies. I want Billy Wagner and his big mouth to watch from the bullpen while he gets the night off. The Phils are riding high and are due for, and deserving of, a savage beatdown. I wanna win tonight, and win big. Let's F'ing Go Mets, dammit.

cooby May 10 2006 09:29 AM

Me too! I'm ready for a blowout! Did you see the way the Phillies were strutting around last night? That's gotta stop!

soupcan May 10 2006 09:32 AM

The sad thing is we stole that win from them last night and then politely handed it back.

Yancy Street Gang May 10 2006 09:34 AM

Yeah. The way things are, any game started by Pedro or Glavine is a must-win, because of how shaky things get after that.

Johnny Dickshot May 10 2006 09:53 AM

The ever-handy UMBD notes that was win No. 400 for the Phils in their history vs. the Mets. Phuckers.

Beltran puts one right thru 1st baseman Howards legs--wow--that was a wicked shot. 2nd & 3rd-1 out

Zvon May 10 2006 07:13 PM

Utley makes a great play--Lidle makes a BAD error trying to get Beltran at 3rd. Mets up 2-0 Wright follows with a line single. Nice start 2nite.

Johnny Dickshot May 10 2006 07:19 PM

The ordered beatdown is on. Crooked numbers every inning I say.

Nice 2-run, 2-out double by De Luca.

Mid-inning OOTS update: David Ortiz hits 2-run HR, Lowell HR, Boston up 3-0 against MFYs, T2nd. Chris Berman still has a terrible home run call. Albert Pujols hits HR #19. Wouldn't it be great what with all the Bonds nonsense this year Pujols breaks the record of 73?

Yancy Street Gang May 10 2006 08:25 PM

I'm just poking my head in here for a moment. I'm watching the Phillie telecast too. When they asked that question, the first name to pop into my head was David Cone. Nice play in the first inning by Kaz on the double play. Reyes flipped him the ball and Matsui caught it bare-handed with his back to first base, spun, and gunned out the batter at first. Glavine has the Phillies hitless through 3. With a 10-run lead, will he continue to flirt with the no-hitter? I used to yearn for a Mets no-hitter, but now I kinda hope the Mets never get one. The lack of a no-hitter, after all these years, gives them something unique. Once they get one, they'll be just like all those other teams that have had no-hitters. I may feel differently if Glavine still has it going with two outs in the 9th. However, I'll be watching Lost by then, so if it happens I won't find out until later. Maybe I'll TiVo the last few innings.

Rockin' Doc May 10 2006 08:27 PM

Willets Point - "Uh-oh, down 1-2-3. Where did the O go?" Probably still winded from the the third inning.

Saves us some suspense. Now I can watch Lost without wondering about the no-hitter. Just as I was putting it in TiVo, too. I guess I'll tune in after Lost and see if the Phillies have tied the score.

To heck with the right way to play the game. The most a team owes you in the late innings of a blowout is to pull a few of their stars. You can't ask players --- particularly those struggling to retain or improve their roles --- not to play.

Frayed Knot May 10 2006 10:03 PM

Throwing bombs for TDs late in a game where there's a finite amount of time to score is not the same thing as simply deciding not to play. "Running out the clock" helps the winning team to win since it, well ... runs out the clock. Choosing not to tag doesn't bring about the end of the game any sooner. There's nothing for Philly to be upset about tonight except for their own inept play.

One of the funniest things I've ever hear a sports radio host do to an ignorant caller happened one day when a young caller called Russ Salzberg on WFAN. The caller said he looked at Koufax's stats and wondered "Where's The Beef" and Russ laid into him like the caller was defacing a sacred landmark. What made it funny was, Russ didn't actually answer the question, just basically acted all "How dare YOU QUESTION the greatness of Sandy Koufax ya punk!" and hung up the phone! I really wonder how Salzberg lasted as long as he did on that station
