metirish Aug 29 2007 05:15 PM

DWright with a homer...

bmfc1 Aug 29 2007 05:16 PM

A much needed KABOOM.

metirish Aug 29 2007 05:24 PM

Rollins gets it right back.

metirish Aug 29 2007 05:26 PM

Burrell with another one.

seawolf17 Aug 29 2007 05:34 PM

Milledge strikes out! Stunning.

TransMonk Aug 29 2007 05:44 PM

The Phillies announcers are crap. They were so sure that ball was gone before Beltran caught it. Kalas should stick to football.

TransMonk Aug 29 2007 06:18 PM

Carlos doubles and Carlos singles. Just like old times. Tied game.

Edgy DC Aug 29 2007 06:21 PM

Dialing up MLB.com is giving me a 404 error.

Edgy DC Aug 29 2007 06:23 PM

I'm in. Let's win.

seawolf17 Aug 29 2007 06:25 PM

I don't think they had planned to do that tonight, Edge, but since you mentioned it... sure.

Edgy DC Aug 29 2007 06:28 PM

Sarge in the Philly booth, and he looks old.

We're out hitting 'em 7-2...but still tied.

metirish Aug 29 2007 06:37 PM

Reyes not getting on is killing this team right now.

metirish Aug 29 2007 06:39 PM

Bases loaded with no outs for the Phills and the heart of the order up...

metirish Aug 29 2007 06:42 PM

Burell after just missing a granny gets a sac-fly..3 - 2

seawolf17 Aug 29 2007 06:43 PM

I hate Pat Burrell with the passion of a thousand fires.

metirish Aug 29 2007 06:44 PM

Perez over throwing like crazy...

metirish Aug 29 2007 06:45 PM

Howard strikes out looking....nice pitch

metirish Aug 29 2007 06:45 PM

One more out to get out of trouble...Rowand

metirish Aug 29 2007 06:47 PM

Rowand strikes out swinging.....

metirish Aug 29 2007 06:48 PM

Meanwhile Boston are losing 3 -0 in the fifth. actually through five they don't have a hit.

Edgy DC Aug 29 2007 06:55 PM

Sure looked above the knees from here.

metirish Aug 29 2007 07:02 PM

Mets at the movies tonight at the Ziegfield ,Greg did you go...Dick Schofield is Jason Werth's uncle. Moyer done for the night...

TransMonk Aug 29 2007 07:07 PM

Perez likely done as well as he leads off the next frame and has over 100 pitches. 10 Ks for Ollie.

metirish Aug 29 2007 07:12 PM

Reyes walks with one out,Romero on the hill.

metsguyinmichigan Aug 29 2007 07:14 PM

Hi guys. The offense is killing me.

metirish Aug 29 2007 07:15 PM

Reyes picked off again.....unreal..

Edgy DC Aug 29 2007 07:18 PM

That motion is unreal. If that's not a balk, I don't run on him. Moreso than most lefthanders, it's like he just stops and tries a pick in the middle of his motion.

metirish Aug 29 2007 07:19 PM

Yet Darling didn't rate Romero's move,at least not to Moyer's..

Milledge bangs his knee of the score board making the catch from Rollins.....looks hurt..

TransMonk Aug 29 2007 07:25 PM

The 3rd guy in the Philly booth seems to hate Milledge more than I do.

Edgy DC Aug 29 2007 07:26 PM

Philly booth blaming Milledge. That outfield wall is full of hazards, isn't it?

Kid Carsey Aug 29 2007 07:27 PM

I haven't really thought about until I just saw a dugout shot of Hojo and Willie but ya gotta wonder how well they get along when the Mets are struggling to score two runs a game in crunch time when Willie ain't really Willie's guy. Just thinking out loud.

Edgy DC Aug 29 2007 07:29 PM

I get your point. Notice how every Met is nursing a sore knee?

Johnny Dickshot Aug 29 2007 07:29 PM

Sack-up time.

Johnny Dickshot Aug 29 2007 07:31 PM

Sack up. S Ackup Sac Kup

Frayed Knot Aug 29 2007 07:32 PM

Since we refuse to beat up on shakey starters, can we at least beat up on a shakey bullpen?

Edgy DC Aug 29 2007 07:32 PM

Nice to have a guy on first without a lefty on the mound.

Johnny Dickshot Aug 29 2007 07:34 PM

Boo.

metirish Aug 29 2007 07:35 PM

We really suck right now...hate to play Atlanta with a two or three game lead...

Buh-looooh...Spark

Frayed Knot Aug 29 2007 07:49 PM

Good thing we finally got the full lineup on the field at the same time so we can finally start to ... oh nevermind.

Johnny Dickshot Aug 29 2007 07:51 PM

pinch run for him. nice job paulie

TransMonk Aug 29 2007 07:52 PM

Endy and Marlon in to try and save the day.

Nymr83 Aug 29 2007 07:55 PM

1st and 3rd 1 out, come on Green, time to show us you still belong on the team.

Johnny Dickshot Aug 29 2007 07:55 PM

I just changed my son's name to Anderson.

Frayed Knot Aug 29 2007 07:56 PM

From the 'Just Thinking Ahead' file; arms in the Philly OF: Victorino = VERY good Rowand = Decent but nothing special Burrell = Better than you'd think considering his other fielding skills

metsguyinmichigan Aug 29 2007 07:56 PM

Marlon was a brilliant Omar pick-up!

Edgy DC Aug 29 2007 07:56 PM

Missed you, Endy. Pop one up, Shawnnie.

metsguyinmichigan Aug 29 2007 07:57 PM

Heck, a decent fly ball keeps us in the game.

Nymr83 Aug 29 2007 07:59 PM

WHAT???? METS LOSE ON ANDERSON BEING CALLED FOR INTERFERENCE, I'M LISTENING ON THE RADIO SO I DIDNT SEE IT...

Johnny Dickshot Aug 29 2007 07:59 PM

Good call.

TransMonk Aug 29 2007 07:59 PM

Shit.

metsguyinmichigan Aug 29 2007 07:59 PM

In-freaking-credible.

TransMonk Aug 29 2007 08:00 PM

Best call of the series so far. This crew sucks...but Marlon did interfere.

bmfc1 Aug 29 2007 08:01 PM

I thought that Anderson was a smart player but he should have realized that Green has decent speed and that ball was hit too slowly to double him up.

Frayed Knot Aug 29 2007 08:02 PM

A regular take-out slide would have done the job there.

metirish Aug 29 2007 08:03 PM

No need to intefere like that as it turns out,very frustrating....

metirish Aug 29 2007 08:08 PM

Nymr83 wrote: WHAT???? METS LOSE ON ANDERSON BEING CALLED FOR INTERFERENCE, I'M LISTENING ON THE RADIO SO I DIDNT SEE IT... wait until you see the play,Gary was screaming "tied game" one` second and " nooooooo' the next.

Zvon Aug 29 2007 08:15 PM

now THAT was interference. (see IGT from game 1 for what I said) Shame on u Marlon- shame,shame,shame Anderson could have ran from 1st straight into right field and we were gonna tie that game. I hope in Oct Im NOT pointing back at any one game for any reason, but if I am, it'll be to this game. ARRRRRGHH

Frayed Knot Aug 29 2007 08:15 PM

btw, that slide wasn't nearly as bad as the one the Phils did NOT get called for the other day against the Padres - one that put M Giles on the DL when it was all over. That one was both interference by the rules AND dirty to boot. Zvon and I had a brief conversation about it in one of the IGTs a game or two ago.

Zvon Aug 29 2007 08:17 PM

="Johnny Dickshot"]I just changed my son's name to Anderson. Id rethink that J.D.

Zvon Aug 29 2007 08:32 PM

watching the Willie post game interview. he says he doesnt think the slide was interference. Something about baseball not being played aggressively anymore. I echo those sentiments in regards to that Ruiz/Giles incident last week, but Willie,......what slide were you watching? Guess a good manager always goes to bat for his boys.

HahnSolo Aug 29 2007 08:33 PM

Good call by CJ Bucknor, and I can't believe I'm writing that. That said, I watched all the replays, and despite it being a slowly hit ball, I don't think it's a given that Green beats it out. As it was, when Iguchi got the ball out of his hands Green was still a few strides from the bag. He probably beats it out, but I don't think it's definite.

TransMonk Aug 29 2007 08:37 PM

Regardless, the Mets had what seems like about 17 other ways they could have won this game.

metirish Aug 29 2007 09:16 PM

Backing up what Zvon posted Willie thought it was a bad call,Marlon touched the bag so Willie felt his hands being up meant nothing. Like Monk said though we could look at lots of other areas where the Mets sucked.

Johnny Dickshot Aug 29 2007 09:27 PM

There's the small matter of the Phillies being better than we are.

Edgy DC Aug 29 2007 11:09 PM

If any of you are planning a trip back in time, how about sending Gotay up there? Not that I want to undermine Greenie's confidence or anything, but do you want the guy who hits more modestly deep flies (Green) or the one who is more likely to stay out of the doubleplay (Gotay)? Gotay, for what it's worth, also has the higher K rate.

Edgy DC Aug 30 2007 06:20 AM

No overnight support for the Goat? It jsut seems so perfect. You know, "Ruben, Gotay this game up."

metirish Aug 30 2007 06:27 AM

Would Milledge had made that slide,would he got on in the first place,Mets win today and get the Phillies back to four then take two in Atlanta....we can do this.

seawolf17 Aug 30 2007 06:33 AM

I'd have gone with Gotay there too. But I'm not Willie, and this loss isn't his fault. Just go get 'em today, fellas.

Johnny Dickshot Aug 30 2007 07:29 AM

I'm OK with Green there. He did the minimum that was required and might have walked too. The Goat woulda been more likely to whiff and less likely to walk. More surprised nobody wants to challenge my outrageous, Rollinsesque assertion that the Phillies were the better team??

TransMonk Aug 30 2007 07:29 AM

I'd have gone with Green.

TransMonk Aug 30 2007 07:34 AM

Johnny Dickshot wrote: More surprised nobody wants to challenge my outrageous, Rollinsesque assertion that the Phillies were the better team?? They may have been for the first two games of the series. I don't feel like the Mets played game 3 all that badly...many more tough breaks went Philly's way. Still, it doesn't change the fact that a loss is a loss.

Edgy DC Aug 30 2007 08:32 AM

Better at the moment, no doubt, and shining from the return of their best hitter. The Mets still have the better record with 4.5 weeks to play. (deniial)They're fundamentally flawed also, in some ways, where our flaws might be more ephemeral.(/deniial) Let me just get this out, though: Jamie Moyer! Are you kidding me?!
