Phils @ Mets IGT 4/11/07

Johnny Dickshot Apr 11 2007 12:37 PM

I figure to be on a roll since starting the home opener thread. Adam Eaton is 3-0 in 3 career appearances against the Mets, all while pitching for the Padres, last in 2004. One of the games was the 16-1 blowout that featured Derek Bell pitching in sunglasses for the Mets. Eaton was once a Phillies first-round draftee then was traded to SD for Andy Ashby in a very stupid deal for the Phillies: Ashby lasted only half a season in Philly while Eaton, maybe not a great pitcher, turned into a very passable end-of-the-rotation guy. He was once teammates with tonight's counterpart, Oliver Perez.

Benjamin Grimm Apr 11 2007 12:42 PM

A win tonight and tomorrow, with the Nationals coming in to town over the weekend, and this season could be off to an outstanding start. I hope Oliver and the boys can keep the ball rolling.

Gwreck Apr 11 2007 12:47 PM

I'm predicting Delgado's first homer tonight. Rain should hold off until well after the game is over. The second game of the year traditionally has the lowest paid attendance all year but judging by what tickets were available, I may not be able to pull off the self-upgrade I was planning on for tonight.

metirish Apr 11 2007 12:53 PM

Some cracking info there JD,Bell had a decent off-speed pitch IIRC.

Kid Carsey Apr 11 2007 05:11 PM

Kooz throws the first pitch, that smile made my (oft times crappy) day.

Hey Oliver - THROW AN EFFING STRIKE.

Edgy DC Apr 11 2007 05:58 PM

Bases loaded. Five Perezian walks.

Johnny Dickshot Apr 11 2007 05:59 PM

Oh boy.

Zvon Apr 11 2007 06:00 PM

Perez walks in the 1st run of the game. Ugh.

Zvon Apr 11 2007 06:02 PM

....this is disgusting. Hey! A strike--wooohooo. *Z does a lil dance.

Nymr83 Apr 11 2007 06:02 PM

disaster.

seawolf17 Apr 11 2007 06:03 PM

THROW A FUCKING STRIKE.

Zvon Apr 11 2007 06:03 PM

And Willie will hang Perez out to dry, as is his wont. Come on--get him outta there.

seawolf17 Apr 11 2007 06:05 PM

SUNUVABITCH. THROW A FUCKING STRIKE.

Zvon Apr 11 2007 06:06 PM

Yea,...why not hit him. At least thats more exciting. They say Willie doesnt show his emotions but thats not the 1st time Ive seen his lips pursed in disgust.

Johnny Dickshot Apr 11 2007 06:06 PM

Pathetic.

Kid Carsey Apr 11 2007 06:06 PM

Jeez, he looks like he wanted to (or was) crying as Willie was coming out to get him after hitting someone to boot. We'll get 'em again in five days, brother.

Edgy DC Apr 11 2007 06:06 PM

Crash. Burn.

seawolf17 Apr 11 2007 06:07 PM

Welcome back, Zvon. Long time no see. You could see he was overthrowing; he wasn't going to throw strikes any more. Not that I'm excited about Aaron Sele either.

TransMonk Apr 11 2007 06:07 PM

Any confidence gained by the nice performance in ATL is probably dashed for Perez now. Golly, Ollie, that was awful.

Benjamin Grimm Apr 11 2007 06:09 PM

I knew it was overly optimistic to say that Perez had "figured it out." Hopefully there won't be too many outings like this one, but there very well might be. Get well soon, Pedro.

seawolf17 Apr 11 2007 06:12 PM

That's the problem with Perez. When he's good, he's unhittable; but when he's awful, he's AWFUL. It's only three runs... could have been a lot worse. He could have thrown a strike and had someone belt one into the gap.

Zvon Apr 11 2007 06:14 PM

Zvon Apr 11 2007 06:28 PM

Beltran with a nice double to lead off the 4rth. Come on Big Daddy.

Johnny Dickshot Apr 11 2007 06:29 PM

And maybe it wouldn'ta hurt so much had we not boned ourselves up the pooper in he first inning.

Zvon Apr 11 2007 06:30 PM

Nymr83 Apr 11 2007 06:31 PM

anyone know what what the record for walks surrendered is?

Zvon Apr 11 2007 06:31 PM

We are already united and assembled. We've done our part. Time for the team to do theirs.

TransMonk Apr 11 2007 06:33 PM

Hey Eaton, let's see your Perez impression.

Zvon Apr 11 2007 06:34 PM

HAha--he hits David. Bases juiced. Now our turn to do the cha-cha around the bases. Awwww,.Alou smacks into a double play. K, we got one back.

cooby Apr 11 2007 06:38 PM

This is when I miss Val and his baseball cartoon clip

Zvon Apr 11 2007 06:50 PM

Ugh---Reyes lines one down the left field line,...JUST foul. Oh man-if that was fair : triple city. YEA! and Reyes goes right up the middle with a seeing eye grounder and plates Val. Only 1 run down now :)

Rockin' Doc Apr 11 2007 07:02 PM

Damn, reading through this thread has almost made me glad that I can't see this game. One thing you can say about Perez is that he's been virtually unhittable this season. I just hope this implosion doesn't completely wreck the kids psyche. Good to read that the team is fighting back.

Johnny Dickshot Apr 11 2007 07:03 PM

Sele's done a fine job to keep us in it. I thought Rollins was awfully close to getting himself thrown out at third.

Johnny Dickshot Apr 11 2007 07:08 PM

That was a pretty pathetic showing by the heart of the order.

Kid Carsey Apr 11 2007 07:09 PM

A perfectly handled shot at third would have nailed Rollins. Tough bang bang catch that gets caught more than not, I think. (I'll have to see the replay again)

I demand a Steve J. Rogers Rally! ]She can kill with a smile She can wound with her eyes She can ruin your faith with her casual lies And she only reveals what she wants you to see She hides like a child But she's always a woman to me She can lead you to live She can take you or leave you She can ask for the truth But she'll never believe you And she'll take what you give her as long as it's free She steals like a thief But she's always a woman to me Oh, she takes care of herself She can wait if she wants She's ahead of her time Oh, and she never gives out And she never gives in She just changes her mind She will promise you more Than the Garden of Eden Then she'll carelessly cut you And laugh while you're bleedin' But she'll bring out the best And the worst you can be Blame it all on yourself Cause she's always a woman to me She is frequently kind And she's suddenly cruel She can do as she pleases She's nobody's fool But she can't be convicted She's earned her degree And the most she will do Is throw shadows at you But she's always a woman to me

Johnny Dickshot Apr 11 2007 07:29 PM

This rally sucked, Steve J. Rogers style. I'd sure like a more threatening pinch hitter than David Newhan.

TransMonk Apr 11 2007 07:30 PM

At least the booth's having fun. Matter of fact, they're laughing it up as if this were a blow out.

Edgy DC Apr 11 2007 07:31 PM

Benches are short these days. Has Milledge gone down yet? Let's cut the Billy Joel shit for, like, ever.

cooby Apr 11 2007 07:32 PM

Well cripes, what a lame rally song. Billy Joel or not.

Edgy DC Apr 11 2007 07:35 PM

Can we talk about how old Koos seemed?

Kid Carsey Apr 11 2007 07:41 PM

Didn't come off that old to me, good little interview from the crowded booth. Gary is calm as a cuke talking to Jerry who isn't facing camera and Keith is all fidgety on the left side of the screen and Ron in the back. They should set things up differently for when Mets' deity is present.

Johnny Dickshot Apr 11 2007 07:46 PM

cooby Apr 11 2007 07:53 PM

Last night a little dancer came dancin' to my door Last night a little angel Came pumpin cross my floor She said "Come on baby I got a licence for love And if it expires pray help from above" In the midnight hour she cried- "more, more, more" With a rebel yell she cried- "more, more, more" In the midnight hour babe- "more, more, more" With a rebel yell- "more, more, more" More, more, more. She don't like slavery, she won't sit and beg But when I'm tired and lonely she sees me to bed What set you free and brought you to be me babe What set you free I need you hear by me Because In the midnight hour she cried- "more, more, more" With a rebel yell she cried- "more, more, more" In the midnight hour babe- "more, more, more" With a rebel yell- "more, more, more" He lives in his own heaven Collects it to go from the seven eleven Well he's out all night to collect a fare Just so long, just so long it don't mess up his hair. I walked the world with you, babe A thousand miles with you I dried your tears of pain, babe A million times for you I'd sell my soul for you babe For money to burn with you I'd give you all, and have none, babe Just, just, justa, justa to have you here by me Because In the midnight hour she cried- "more, more, more" With a rebel yell she cried- "more, more, more" In the midnight hour babe- "more, more, more" With a rebel yell she cried "more, more, more" More, more, more. Oh yeah little baby she want more More, more, more, more, more. Oh yeah little baby she want more More, more, more, more

TransMonk Apr 11 2007 07:56 PM

Holycrap, cooby...I was thinking Billy Idol, too.

Rockin' Doc Apr 11 2007 07:56 PM

Top of the order in the eighth inning for the Mets. Manuel has to be nervous, because he knows the Mets own the eighth inning this season.

cooby Apr 11 2007 07:56 PM

Can't get much more rousing than Billy Idol, lol...

Johnny Dickshot Apr 11 2007 07:57 PM

You know I led an unpopular movement to get "Rebel Yell" voted as my HS prom theme. Only it lost to Journey's "Faithfully"...

Kid Carsey Apr 11 2007 07:57 PM

>>>What set you free I need you hear by me<<< Gotta love internet lyrics. Top o' the order in the 8th down 5-2 ... let's bang this thing out NOW!!!

Rockin' Doc Apr 11 2007 08:00 PM

The top of the order goes quickly and quietly. Billy Idol sucks!!!

Johnny Dickshot Apr 11 2007 08:06 PM

All we need is a bad call from the 2nd base ump to be 4-4 tonight.

TransMonk Apr 11 2007 08:07 PM

Not that it's costing us the game by any stretch, but the umps certainly aren't having any better of a game than the Mets are.

Edgy DC Apr 11 2007 08:07 PM

Billy Idol fails too. No more BILLY ***L songs. Only one Billy will do... Life isn't easy from the singular side Down in the hole some emotions are hard to hide It's your decision; it's a chance that you take It's on your head; it's a habit that's hard to break Do you need a friend would you tell no lies?! Would you take me in?! Are you lonely in the dark!? You never listen to the voices inside They fill your ears as you run to a place to hide You're never sure if the illusion is real You pinch yourself but the mem'ries are all you feel Can you break away from your alibis?! Can you make a play?! Will you meet me in the dark?! Don'tcha need me? Hey, hey! Don'tcha need me? Oh yea! Don'tcha leave me? Hey, hey! Don'tcha need me? Oh yea! You take no int'rest no opinion's too dear You make the rounds and you try to be so sincere You guard your hopes and you pocket your dreams You'd trade it all to avoid an unpleasant scene Can you face the fire when you see me there?! Can you feel the fire?! Will you love me in the dark?!

Edgy DC Apr 11 2007 08:14 PM

That's my grinder. David Wright meets me in the dark.

Johnny Dickshot Apr 11 2007 08:16 PM

Worst game of the year. We've lost 3 of 4.

Zvon Apr 11 2007 08:17 PM

Damn. Damn.Damn.Damn.Damn.Damn.Damn.Damn.Damn. Well, thats baseball, when a team that sucks moose testicles can beat the giant behemoth that is the New York Mets.

Gwreck Apr 11 2007 09:58 PM

Sucked. Cold. Art Garfunkel sang the national anthem. I think Moises Alou would lose in a footrace to both LoDuca and Castro. With Alou getting a 2 step headstart. Slow running, slow in the outfield, shitty at the plate. I'd like to see Milledge get the token start in left tomorrow before he goes down. I know not everybody is Jose Reyes, but some sort of tangible sign from Moises that he cares about winning and losing would be nice. Not scoring Reyes in the first and Alou's DP killed us. Felt sorry for Oliver. Crowd tried to keep him in it as best they could but it was just too much. Willie got him out as soon as possible, they were clearing just waiting for Sele to be ready.

Johnny Dickshot Apr 11 2007 10:04 PM

Alou did smash the living shit out of his DP ball. I also became more aware tonight of his casual lope after balls in the corner though.

Gwreck Apr 11 2007 10:14 PM

I wondered too about Beltran. I got the feeling that he didn't think Rollins would go for 3 and might have gone after it harder otherwise.

Edgy DC Apr 12 2007 05:40 AM

I think Alou has been clubbing the ball hard most of the season so far, and getting around on pitchers a guy his age has no business pulling.

metirish Apr 12 2007 10:19 AM

Wasn't around the PC last night,saw the game though,this IGT was more fun that the freaking game.
