Johnny Dickshot Jun 05 2007 05:08 PM

Not for nothing but I like that Chavvy gets a day off too, especially against a lefty.

Zvon Jun 05 2007 05:14 PM

me likey Gomez :) 1-2-3 inning - Mets to bat.

Rockin' Doc Jun 05 2007 05:19 PM

With each game, it seems the lineup is starting to come back together. It seems like forever since the starting line up has been intact.

Zvon Jun 05 2007 05:21 PM

Mets go easy in their half but did hit the ball well. 0-0.-- Mets in the lead.

Zvon Jun 05 2007 05:23 PM

Beltran on his horse. *Z searches for image*

Zvon Jun 05 2007 05:31 PM

Zvon Jun 05 2007 05:42 PM

One of the few games i get to actually watch and no ones here. *sob*. Well, Ill gamely keep on keepin on. Mets up 2-0 after 2. Wrights 2 bagger and LoDuca's 2 rbi lofty single the 2 big hits. Lotta 2's ^

Rockin' Doc Jun 05 2007 05:46 PM

I am liking the recap thus far. Keep up the good work Z.

Willets Point Jun 05 2007 05:48 PM

Glavine! Keep your butt out of the way!

Zvon Jun 05 2007 05:49 PM

TIED

Rockin' Doc Jun 05 2007 05:53 PM

ira, no offense, but I prefer Zvon's updates.

Willets Point Jun 05 2007 05:53 PM

Five-inning Tommy might not make it out of the third. Fuckin' Burrell could break this open.

Zvon Jun 05 2007 05:54 PM

Phils announcer on the play Reyes made on Rollins and how much he was able to get on the lil flip throw. "...he's just different." Glavine gets out of it. Score 2-2, Mets lead.

Or he could walk back to the Phillies dugout in abject humiliation, grab his glove and head out to his position.

Rockin' Doc Jun 05 2007 06:02 PM

Looking for a 2-out RBI from Wright.

Zvon Jun 05 2007 06:03 PM

Ugh--- Beltraan had 3rd stole big BIG. But going with 2 strikes on Delgado--hmmm...I dont like that. No, not at all.

Rockin' Doc Jun 05 2007 06:05 PM

I'm still looking as Wright goes down swinging to end the third.

Goodly amount of fashion expressive Phillys phans in the stands. Has SNY shown the one dressed like a centurian? He must have brass ones.

Willets Point Jun 05 2007 06:17 PM

The part of Citifield behind centerfield is looking more and more like the guard's tower at a prison each day.

Willets Point Jun 05 2007 06:27 PM

Glavine works on getting back some of the runs he coughed up.

Rockin' Doc Jun 05 2007 06:30 PM

Well, it's up to Carlos now. The other Carlos.

Rockin' Doc Jun 05 2007 06:31 PM

Damn!

Zvon Jun 05 2007 06:32 PM

2 on and one out for Beltraan and Delgado but they cant gEtErDuN.

Zvon Jun 05 2007 06:34 PM

I fear Utley just as much as I fear Howard. He cannot reach here. UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH He crushes a double off the wall. eyeeeecurumba.

Zvon Jun 05 2007 06:36 PM

EXCELLENT pitch to Howard by Glavine, and he cheaply pops it up. Blahrrel up.

Zvon Jun 05 2007 06:40 PM

whoa...what a break there. Blahrrell continues to prove my point that he is an idiot. :)

Zvon Jun 05 2007 06:41 PM

reads like this> Rowand singled to right, Utley to third, Burrell out at third advancing on throw. Mets dodge a bullet there. :)

Rockin' Doc Jun 05 2007 06:42 PM

Glavine gets out of the inning unscathed with a little help from Pat Burrell.

Zvon Jun 05 2007 06:52 PM

2-2 after 6. And yes, the Mets have the lead.

Rockin' Doc Jun 05 2007 06:57 PM

Glavine reminds Rollins of the eighth commandment.

Zvon Jun 05 2007 07:03 PM

93 pitches so Tommys done. Gotay PHs and Ks. Reyes follows with a bloop single to right. Go Reyes go.

Zvon Jun 05 2007 07:05 PM

HA! Howd that happen? Reyes steals 2nd and--WHAT! that was NOT a foul ball! whoops--replay shows it was. That pitch hit everything possible, the bat, the catchers two hands, and the ump.

Rockin' Doc Jun 05 2007 07:06 PM

I'd rather it hit the picnic area bleachers.

Johnny Dickshot Jun 05 2007 07:07 PM

Things I've hated about this game so far (in order of how much I hate them). 1. Score twice in the second, LoDuca is on 2nd with no outs, AND STAYS THERE. Popup by BJ unacceptable there. 2. Reyes bunting Glavine over to second. Stupid. He's impossible almost to double up, why not take a shot at a triple instead? 3. 0 on, 2 out, THEN the Phils score twice.

Johnny Dickshot Jun 05 2007 07:10 PM

I have a new No. 1.

Reyes does steal 2nd but then is picked off 2nd after Easley draws a walk. Oy.

Rockin' Doc Jun 05 2007 07:11 PM

It's time for the Carloses to come through this time. Damn it Reyes. Jose gets picked off second.

Johnny Dickshot Jun 05 2007 07:13 PM

Reyes needs to get his head out of his ass ... NOW!!!!

Zvon Jun 05 2007 07:14 PM

Beltraan gets under it by a smidgeon. Sends Blahrrell to the wall in left. Gah. 2-2, after 7 complete. This, even with all the "gahs" , is a really good game. Good thing the Mets have the lead.

Rockin' Doc Jun 05 2007 07:18 PM

Is it just me, or does seeing Schoeneweis in the game make anyone else nervous?

Zvon Jun 05 2007 07:18 PM

I just closed my eyes and imagined Utley as the Mets 2nd baseman, with Delgado,Reyes,Wright, manning the infield, and my head exploded. Chase walks. Howard up.

Zvon Jun 05 2007 07:20 PM

Zvon Jun 05 2007 07:36 PM

Mets come up in the 9th leading with the scored tied 2-2 and will have to plate a run to technically win the ballgame, due to those silly rules of baseball.

Johnny Dickshot Jun 05 2007 07:36 PM

Why waste Endy here?

Johnny Dickshot Jun 05 2007 07:41 PM

Bunting is for losers. How many times will we prove it tonight?

Zvon Jun 05 2007 07:42 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jun 05 2007 07:43 PM

More importantly waste Gomez there! WHATS THAT KID THINKIN! GAH! WOW! BIG error by Rowand! Reyes will bat with PH Newhan on 2nd. They will walk Reyes. Its all Easley.

Johnny Dickshot Jun 05 2007 07:42 PM

Hopefully Reyes won't try and bunt one of these intentional-walk pitches. Here comes Easley, presumably, to buunt. Carlos Beltran on bunt-deck.

Don't let them disrespect you like that Damion. Make them pay.

Zvon Jun 05 2007 07:45 PM

Dayem. Easley easily grounds out. We have extra frames. More bang for our buck. Ya gotta luv baseball.

Johnny Dickshot Jun 05 2007 07:52 PM

Nice 10th. Does this mean Heilman is De-Mota-ed?

Zvon Jun 05 2007 07:54 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jun 05 2007 07:56 PM

Mota on for the 10th...Wags practically went unnoticed. Pitched a fine 9th aside from the Rowand double. Mota has a 1-2-3 10th, only Victorino getting good wood on him for the deep fly to center. The heart of the lineup for the Mets in the 10th.

Rockin' Doc Jun 05 2007 07:54 PM

It's time for the Mets to put an end to this game.

Zvon Jun 05 2007 07:55 PM

Let us unite and assemble.

Zvon Jun 05 2007 08:05 PM

BIG 2 strike steal of 2nd by Wright. But LoDuke pops out. Gah!

Zvon Jun 05 2007 08:09 PM

OHHHH NOEEEES> UTLEY GOES YARD!

Johnny Dickshot Jun 05 2007 08:09 PM

This is why you don't warm up to Journey's "Lights."

Edgy DC Jun 05 2007 08:10 PM

Ohp. Crahp.

Edgy DC Jun 05 2007 08:11 PM

Ryan Howard... most smashed single ever?

Johnny Dickshot Jun 05 2007 08:11 PM

Fear not -- Willie must have a plan to bunt us back into it.

Was that the blind Feliciano on the mound? Howard hurts the baseball with a line smack off the wall in right. I could hear that ball screammmmmmmmm .

Edgy DC Jun 05 2007 08:12 PM

Ms. Edgy: "What's that horrible song they're playing?"

Batty31 Jun 05 2007 08:16 PM

Extra digits Alfonseca warming up....we have a chance.

Johnny Dickshot Jun 05 2007 08:18 PM

We need a triple play pretty f-ing badly

Zvon Jun 05 2007 08:23 PM

Nunez with a 10 pitch at-bat then he squirts a single to left. This one is gettin away from us.

Zvon Jun 05 2007 08:25 PM

BIG DP! 6-2-3

Edgy DC Jun 05 2007 08:25 PM

The old 6-2-3 keeps this one within the realm of the possible.

Zvon Jun 05 2007 08:26 PM

Okay. Now its time for them to play Journeys "Dont Stop Believin". ;)

Frayed Knot Jun 05 2007 08:28 PM

It's never a good time for Journey

Frayed Knot Jun 05 2007 08:30 PM

Has Gomez hit a ball hard since his call-up?

Zvon Jun 05 2007 08:32 PM

WE ARE ALIVEEEE. The Wizard of Old comes thru with a PH single to keep it goin.

Zvon Jun 05 2007 08:34 PM

DAMN! Thought Reyes was safe but they just nipped him. Is nip ok to use there? GAME OVAH!

Edgy DC Jun 05 2007 08:35 PM

Offense needed. Man, NOW!

Zvon Jun 05 2007 08:47 PM

So we really need to take the next 2, imo. Cant let these Phils even THINK they can climb back into this race. Cuz they cant. Aside from Hamels they just dont have the arms. If they are gonna be just a thorn in the Mets side, as they have other NY winning seasons, Ill have to hear this everytime I go out in my Met hat or jacket. So if they need motivation, please somebody impart this to them. Zvon does not wanna have to hear it.

Gwreck Jun 05 2007 10:56 PM

From this IGT: I don't think Heilman is getting demoted. Schoenweis hadn't pitched in a week; Mota since Friday, but Heilman threw 2 innings on Sunday. (The good outings for both were of course encouraging). Agree that the timing of the Endy PH seemed very strange. From Shea: Plenty of Philly fans in the stands but nothing too annoying, fortunately. The Journey song was part of the ongoing music for the evening -- anything that had "city" in the title/lyrics, as it was "Citi Employee Night at Shea" which was endlessly promoted all night. (Other song choices included We Built this City, Summer in the City, You Belong to the City, etc etc.). My top-5 list of City songs (City of Blinding Lights - U2, Living for the City - Stevie Wonder, In the City - The Jam, My City of Ruins - Springsteen, and My City Was Gone - Pretenders) went unplayed. Coincidence? Glavine needs to remember that unless he can field it cleanly, he's got to let those balls go through and let the 2B/SS get them. That's what got the Phils 3rd inning rally going. Schoenweis pitched around Utley in the 8th with nobody on (granted, there was one out). I don't really have a problem with Feliciano challenging him, but...just sayin. Johnson made a nice play on Rowand's double in the 9th. His throw was in plenty of time, not sure what happened on the slide/if/how Easley botched it. We played sloppy. We need to remember how to properly execute a rundown. This loss seems worse than the Zito/Webb losses (good pitchers) or even the Sunday game. Today we really shoulda won.

Elster88 Jun 06 2007 05:18 AM

Throw everything else out the window and I think one thing causes the loss: Beltran/Delgado combined 0 for 9

Johnny Dickshot Jun 06 2007 05:24 AM

No issue with Easley's handling of the throw: It just short-hopped him and required that extra motion. Not saying our offense sucks bhmc but we've scored 2 runs or fewer 3 of our last 4 games.

Edgy DC Jun 06 2007 05:48 AM

"We Built this City" Awful "Summer in the City" Pretty OK. "You Belong to the City" Kill me now.

metirish Jun 06 2007 07:24 AM

The game within the game between Moyer and Reyes in the seventh was fascinating,I hope Reyes learned a lesson there though,Moyer said afterwards that he was surprised that it worked, he was just showing Reyes something and it caught him.
