'Cause I’m the taxman, Don't ask me what I want it for, (ah-ah, mister Wilson) Now my advice for those who die, (taxman) And you're working for no one but me. Taxman!

Apparently Billy Joel didn't write songs about taxes.

Is there baseball being played?

Mets up 2-1 on a Moises Alou homer. We're in the top of the fourth.

Beltran sez: Suck on that, Uncle Sam! Big hit!!

He knocks in Glavine with a double after Castro's singe. Lo Duca started. What happened to him?
|
| Johnny Dickshot Apr 17 2007 06:48 PM |

Come on David, three dependents on the basepaths.
|

What? And ruin his Juan Pierre-iffic .341 / 0 homers / 0 RBI line?

Dookie took an Utley foul ball off his right hand. Direct hit, looked like a shot on the thumbone. He stayed behind the dish for the rest of the inning but then bailed.

Wright doesn't look right.
|
| Edgy DC Apr 17 2007 06:54 PM |
|
Damn, David. Sandy Alomar and the Zephyrs are in New Orleans against Indianapolis tonight. This could be the first big test on whether the Mets can get an emergency sub onto the team on time.
|
| Johnny Dickshot Apr 17 2007 06:59 PM |
|
I'm still satisfied to get 1 out of that inning, seeing as it took 3 hits.
|
| Edgy DC Apr 17 2007 06:59 PM |

Double by Rollins and a walk to Victorino and the tying run is at the plate. Does the Met pen have it again tonight?

Dasterdly Utley goes down on a called strike down the pipe.

Let me tell you how I made that nickname up...
|
| Edgy DC Apr 17 2007 07:05 PM |

And Howard swinging. Yeah, baby, yeah!

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.....Met killer is up. I don't think I can look.

Glavine is dealing..
|
| Batty31 Apr 17 2007 07:07 PM |

Popped it up! I can breathe now.
|

Very impressive for Glavvie. Not to get presumptuous, but 3 wins by tax day is a pretty good srtart to the Magic 10.
|
| Johnny Dickshot Apr 17 2007 07:10 PM |
|
Alou with some double happiness.
|
| Batty31 Apr 17 2007 07:11 PM |
|
WHOA! Dinger number 2 for Alou!!!
|
| Edgy DC Apr 17 2007 07:11 PM |

Moises has just parted a red sea of fans in left field. My word. Right into the wind. Nice signing, Omar.
|

ALOOOOOOOO (I gotta find an image to adopt the old fart)

Another awful at-bat by Shawn Green results in a double.
|
| Kid Carsey Apr 17 2007 07:13 PM |
|
That'll catch up with him.
|
| Batty31 Apr 17 2007 07:16 PM |

No comment on that one.....

Sandy Senior is hardly drenched in glory tonight.

If that was actually a squeeze play, is it the first Willie's ever called?
|
| metirish Apr 17 2007 07:45 PM |
|
Not our best IGT,must be the cold weather,that last double play form the Mets was sweet,Glavien a solid six,Phillies pen is awful,Feliciano pitching. I don't ever remember Willie calling for a squeeze like that.
|
| Kid Carsey Apr 17 2007 07:56 PM |
|
I doubt it's the only one, but it's not checkable I guess unless someone And whatya mean not our best IGT? Now we're grading them? (j/k)
|
| Edgy DC Apr 17 2007 08:00 PM |
|
We're opening things up now. Oh, and the Green comment was ironic.
|
| Batty31 Apr 17 2007 08:01 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Apr 17 2007 08:03 PM |

I thought I heard Gary say it was the first squeeze Willie has called for in two years, but I'm not positive.
|

This Phillies pen will cost Manuel his job,guy comes in and all he does is walk guys,bases loaded.
|
| Kid Carsey Apr 17 2007 08:05 PM |
|
Ironic? You mean prescient.
|
| Edgy DC Apr 17 2007 08:11 PM |
|
No, somebody else earlier in the year complained about "another bad at-bat" when he was like eight for his first 20.
|
| Batty31 Apr 17 2007 08:12 PM |
|
I can't look again....
|
| Batty31 Apr 17 2007 08:13 PM |
|
I guess that's what I must do everytime he's up...not look!

Feliciano still with a goose egg ERA on the season. Sling it.

Mets are up by seven...
|
| Batty31 Apr 17 2007 08:15 PM |

I know...but he still makes me nervous.
|

Cha just saw Batty's sig line, and said, "Oh, by the way, I bought you a pair of socks today."
|
| Batty31 Apr 17 2007 08:19 PM |

ROTFLOL! I see you two have really reached that comfort level in your relationship. Tell her I said hello.....

Our Smith is better than their Smith.

The last time the Mets promoted a pitcher with as little minor league experience as MY SON Joe Smith.... Jesse Orosco, 1979.

Just what you need during weather like this ... a 3-1/2 hour game.
|
| Edgy DC Apr 17 2007 08:30 PM |

You're not at the ballpark. Rooting for a losing team. Heh, heh.

Any report on Dookie?
|
| Johnny Dickshot Apr 17 2007 08:41 PM |
|
X-rays were negatory but he wanted to get another opinion before they board the plane. Burgos > Howard with 2 men on.
|
| Rockin' Doc Apr 17 2007 08:42 PM |
|
It is definitely the Mets night. Burgos retires Howard on a 400 foot fly out. He had him all the way.
|
| Edgy DC Apr 17 2007 08:47 PM |
|
In July, that thing goes about 60 feet further of course. Burgos = Julio in a big way.

I am positive that it was indeed the first squeeze ever called by Willie as Mets manager. I still wonder what exactly happened there. It didn't seem like Green got any sign (usually squeeze signals are whispered by the third base coach) for that play. The Phillies just look terrible. Victorino doesn't look like he should be playing in the majors; that 'pen is awful. Unless Howard and Utley wake up big time they're going to lose a lot.

Every supermarket in the Philadelphia area has, on its magazine racks, the current issue of Philadelphia Magazine featuring a big smiling closeup of Ryan Howard's face. The caption is, "HE WON'T LET US DOWN" Terrible expectations to put on a young player. I don't know if Howard will ultimately let them down or whether he won't, but he very well might. I remember when we would have said the same thing about Dwight Gooden. And I'm glad we're not quite saying it about David Wright yet.
