Who what when where why Woodward?

Elster88 Jul 01 2007 10:57 AM

Sorry. Excel user error. Fixed.

cleonjones11 Jul 01 2007 11:47 AM

Any reason Beltran didnt run out that DP ball? I think he would have been safe..

OlerudOwned Jul 01 2007 11:55 AM

Fingers crossed and knock on wood, but Pelfrey looked dynamite in the first.

1-0 Mets after one on a LoDuca RBI single.

Edgy DC Jul 01 2007 12:04 PM

Nice punchout of Howard on a high two-seamer. Ninety-seven. Nice.

Zvon Jul 01 2007 12:09 PM

Burrell walks. A 2 out walk-gah. Scores on the Dobbs double. Walks kill man, walks kill.

Edgy DC Jul 01 2007 12:16 PM

Well, let's kill 'em back. Reyes walks on four pitches.

Edgy DC Jul 01 2007 12:18 PM

Oops, forgot to kill.

Zvon Jul 01 2007 12:18 PM

Gah--they double up Reyes.

Zvon Jul 01 2007 12:27 PM

2 base error by Wright on a grounder by Kendrick>< And Rollins goes yard. Errors kill man, errors kill.

bmfc1 Jul 01 2007 12:28 PM

The Mets won't trade Pelfrey, because....?

Edgy DC Jul 01 2007 12:29 PM

Because he's pitching. Enemy rally. Time to root.

bmfc1 Jul 01 2007 12:32 PM

Yeah--come on Pelfrey!

Edgy DC Jul 01 2007 12:37 PM

Good job by Victorino, stealing the first pitch after Lo Duca takes a foul back with his body. In fact, we might have anticipated that better.

Edgy DC Jul 01 2007 12:39 PM

And a healthy Valentin may well have turned that DP. Fine job by Reyes.

Edgy DC Jul 01 2007 12:43 PM

Dobbs just saved Pelfrey's skin, swinging 2-0 at ball three and lining out to center.

Zvon Jul 01 2007 12:44 PM

These Philly announcers love Reyes and his ability and make no bones about it. And yea, that play in the hole and laser thow to second...wow. If all I have as a Met fan over the next 5 years is watching him play, that would be enough. 3-1 Phils after 3. and------ wooohooo

Edgy DC Jul 01 2007 12:45 PM

Delgado's doing some damage for a guy in decline.

Edgy DC Jul 01 2007 12:59 PM

Pelfrey not only gets back on track with a 1-2-3 inning, but he gets his first big-league hit to lead off the next inning.

Zvon Jul 01 2007 01:00 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jul 01 2007 01:01 PM

Awww COMEON! Reyes hits into a DP. (only the 3rd time he has done that this season : / )

Edgy DC Jul 01 2007 01:00 PM

Hating the DP right now.

Edgy DC Jul 01 2007 01:09 PM

How 'bout Gomez? Kind of an ill-considered attempt, though, huh?

Zvon Jul 01 2007 01:12 PM

If you dont give it a try, you dont make the catch. I like that he did. Ill never fault a guy for going for it. Sure, if it gets by him Victorino scores, but it didnt get by him. DatsAbaseball :)

Edgy DC Jul 01 2007 01:12 PM

Pelfrey's got a wad in his mouth and it's making me sick.

Edgy DC Jul 01 2007 01:14 PM

Somebody in the Phillie booth described the arms in the Met outfield, saying, "Green, not as strong an arm as he used to have, but still pretty good." I hope the team is working with the same scouting report.

Edgy DC Jul 01 2007 01:17 PM

OK, Wright gets a lick in. Do it again, Carlos.

Zvon Jul 01 2007 01:18 PM

Edgy DC Jul 01 2007 01:21 PM

I hope so. He's moving it around, though.

Zvon Jul 01 2007 01:24 PM

Yea..he would chew on it between pitches. If he has fears of comebackers I guess that a good thing. Mota takes the mound in the 6th with the Mets down 3-2.

Zvon Jul 01 2007 01:28 PM

Real nice 6th by Mota. I like :)

OlerudOwned Jul 01 2007 01:30 PM

He wore the mouthguard last year too, it's because of a jaw problem he has. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporomandibular_joint_disorder

bmfc1 Jul 01 2007 01:34 PM

Manuel certainly is from the LaRussa school of overmanaging. The locals didn't like that move.

Edgy DC Jul 01 2007 01:39 PM

Come on. How can we not steal back a run here?

Zvon Jul 01 2007 01:45 PM

Ugh--Heilman allows a homer to Victorino. Ugh.

Edgy DC Jul 01 2007 01:48 PM

That Shane Victorino makes me sick, Jane.

Edgy DC Jul 01 2007 01:51 PM

Not your day, Aaron.

Zvon Jul 01 2007 01:55 PM

="Edgy DC"]Not your day, Aaron. No its not.Have you ever had this little thing in your ear that........

Edgy DC Jul 01 2007 01:59 PM

Yay! So the baserunner dance!

Nymr83 Jul 01 2007 02:13 PM

radio guys say Castro just kissed Gotay on the "kiss cam" thing... LOL i'm off to a wedding, get your rally caps on!

Edgy DC Jul 01 2007 02:15 PM

Scott Schoeneweis, Road Warrior.

Zvon Jul 01 2007 02:15 PM

9th Delgado draws a walk to open the inning.

Edgy DC Jul 01 2007 02:16 PM

In another era, Zagurski would be nicknamed "Babe."

Edgy DC Jul 01 2007 02:20 PM

I wanted to see Gomez get a crack at this guy.

Zvon Jul 01 2007 02:21 PM

Edgy DC wrote: In another era, Zagurski would be nicknamed "Babe." How bout just "fatso" ? He Ks Valintine. Phils announcers are right. Val has a much sweeter swing fro the other side. Green grounds out. Delgado on 2nd. Alfonseca in to close it for the Phils.

Zvon Jul 01 2007 02:24 PM

:)

Edgy DC Jul 01 2007 02:25 PM

Tying run up. Go, Julio, go.

Zvon Jul 01 2007 02:25 PM

The old man grounds out and ........

Zvon Jul 01 2007 02:36 PM

Hey-Im very happy with the series. Took 3 of 4, a really nice offensive surge. Atlanta is currently losing to Fla., 4-1 one in the 7th. The Sosa injury is distressing, but these things happen. (I never knew how often until I started playing Fantasy Baseball). No matter how u slice it up I think we need another starting arm in any case, for down the stretch. And if Pedro comes back and is effective... we... could... go.. all.. the.. way!

Gwreck Jul 01 2007 11:07 PM

The "kiss cam" was funny -- the Phils were alternating shots of Male/Female couples in Phillies gear with shots of two Males who were clearly not a couple in Mets gear sitting next to each other. At the end, they put Castro and Gotay on it, as they were watching from the dugout, and Castro tried to kiss Gotay (who protested). Julio Franco looked terrible by not busting it down to first at the end of the game. He might've still been out, even with the bobbled ball -- but the loafature is inexcusable, especially for someone who should be providing veteran leadership (as he doesn't provide much else). DPs killed us. Surprised that over the 4 game series Gotay didn't get a start anywhere. Can he possibly play left field? I like Citizens Bank Park but it has a major design flaw. The whole "Ashburn Alley" thing they have in the outfield is nice buy way too small. Plus, all the signature concessions are out there -- and only there. If the "Crab Fries" are the most popular item, wouldn't it make sense to have stands scattered throughout the park, and on the upper level as well? Same thing with the cheesesteaks. Makes no sense to have an incredibly long line there and jam up the whole area.

Benjamin Grimm Jul 02 2007 07:26 AM

Yesterday was my second visit to Citizens Bank Park, and the first time I get there early enough to explore a bit before the game. I agree about Ashburn Alley. We got our lunch at Bull's BBQ. I got a tasty turkey sandwich, and my son got the ribs, which he devoured. (He was up at midnight last night puking up big chunks of pork, though. I hope the meat wasn't tainted.) All of the tables were full (some people were placing their food on the top of trash cans and using them as makeshift tables!) so we decided to take our lunches back to our seats, which were on the other side of the Alley. It was tough walking through the crowd while balancing a tray. The line for the crab fries was very long. I figured they were probably good but didn't want to stand on that line, especially while balancing a tray. It IS a nice park. It has the feel of a minor league park, and I mean that in a good way. Nice and open, and you're close to the action. Even though there's sometimes a roof over your head when you're moving through the concession areas, you never totally feel like you're "indoors." (Much different than the caverns of Shea Stadium.) As I've said before, my gripe about "the Bank" is its location, so far from Center City. But they did build a very nice stadium. I hope they do as nice a job with Citi Field.

Edgy DC Jul 02 2007 07:29 AM

Did he loaf? I thought he was just slow and running from the right side.

Benjamin Grimm Jul 02 2007 07:32 AM

From my seat in left field, when I saw Utley didn't field the ball cleanly, I had hopes of a safe call. Then the throw to first. Franco looked to be about two thirds of the way up the line when Howard caught the ball. I was surprised that Franco wasn't closer to the bag and thought that maybe he had stumbled or pulled a muscle or something. He wasn't where I expected him to be, but I can't say for sure that my expectations were reasonable.

Centerfield Jul 02 2007 09:10 AM

He jogged. I was listening on the radio and Howie Rose was clearly annoyed about that. He also mentioned that he thought Castro should be up there and not Franco.

Edgy DC Jul 02 2007 02:08 PM

Schoeneweis not only continued his perfect record on the road, but got his ERA below the Komiyama line.

iramets Jul 02 2007 02:56 PM

If he loafed (which I think he did), there's no excuse for him, and if he was running full-out (which I don't think was possible--I'm six years older than Franco and in poor shape, and I believe I could have gotten as close to first as he got on that play), then there's no excuse for Willie to have put him in to bat, or for Omar to have put him on the roster. Take your pick. Someone didn't do his job there.

Centerfield Jul 02 2007 03:09 PM

Whether he loafed or not has nothing to do with Willie's mistake. Putting him in to bat there is a mistake even if Franco busted it out of the box. One guy has 1 HR and a slugging percentage of .250. The other guy has 4 HR's and a slugging percentage of .478. Only a fool chooses the first guy.
