3 Ks and 3 hits for Pedro in the first. 1-0 Phils.

Valadius Sep 15 2007 11:28 AM

It's ok, we're gonna win.

bmfc1 Sep 15 2007 11:37 AM

Howie: "No question, he was out at first." MLB umps suck.

Zvon Sep 15 2007 11:40 AM

He Ks that damn Utley. HA!

Valadius Sep 15 2007 11:43 AM

Pedro has 5 K's in 2 innings.

Valadius Sep 15 2007 11:44 AM

Beltran comes up with a double... one at-bat too late.

martin Sep 15 2007 11:47 AM

man, alou really busts it out the box. love that guy. i would be elated to have him in left next year.

Zvon Sep 15 2007 11:48 AM Edited 2 time(s), most recently on Sep 15 2007 12:10 PM

="Valadius"]Beltran comes up with a double... one at-bat too late. ...timing. Its all timing. I think Pedro is snappin off some nice pitches, but I missed that 1st inning. Walk to Green loads em! 0 out!

Zvon Sep 15 2007 11:50 AM

omg. Utley throws home on the DP grounder, and gets the out at the plate. hmmmm.

Zvon Sep 15 2007 11:51 AM

Then Milledge takes one for the team and its tied. Nice try Utley. *raspberry

Valadius Sep 15 2007 11:57 AM

19 straight games for Alou!!! NINETEEN STRAIGHT!!!

Zvon Sep 15 2007 12:02 PM

Yep. Pretty damn good for a wobbly old fart.

Valadius Sep 15 2007 12:07 PM

Moises is gonna get cheated out of Schaefer Player of the Month.

Zvon Sep 15 2007 12:14 PM

Alou and Lo Duca playing the day game after the night game. Im somewhat surprised both are, but I like this.

Zvon Sep 15 2007 12:18 PM

Lo Duca slaps in the 3rd Met run with a line single to right.

Valadius Sep 15 2007 12:20 PM

4 steals so far this inning. Dookie drives in the third Mets run of the day!

Edgy DC Sep 15 2007 12:36 PM

Valadius Sep 15 2007 12:37 PM

Reyes singles with one out in the 4th. Pedro has 8 K's through 4 innings.

Edgy DC Sep 15 2007 12:39 PM

Caught by the pitchout. Feck.

Zvon Sep 15 2007 12:39 PM

Fire Ricky! ;)

Edgy DC Sep 15 2007 12:42 PM

Happens. Cost of doing business.

Valadius Sep 15 2007 12:43 PM

Utley grounds to second on the first pitch he sees. That's how we do it.

Edgy DC Sep 15 2007 12:47 PM

And a 10-pitch inning to some big bats. Hard to picture a post-season rotation without him. His ERA is now sitting at 1.80.

Valadius Sep 15 2007 12:51 PM

He's the ace again if he keeps this up. David gets his first hit of the day.

Zvon Sep 15 2007 01:01 PM

Wright with the lead-off single, but a well played inning by the Pharts. Touche~ Charlie. 3-1 Mets.

Zvon Sep 15 2007 01:04 PM

Rowand with the first really nicely hit ball off Pedro, a line double down the left field line. Martinez up to 93 pitches. Mota's up in the pen.

Valadius Sep 15 2007 01:06 PM

Not Mota...

Zvon Sep 15 2007 01:10 PM

Six complete for Martinez. That should be it for him. Great job today! Pedro, your country salutes you!

Valadius Sep 15 2007 01:11 PM

9 K's in 6 innings - good day's work from Pedro. Look who Philly's sent out to replace Lohse! Kane Davis!

Zvon Sep 15 2007 01:14 PM

Great at-bat here by the Goat, regardless of the outcome.

Edgy DC Sep 15 2007 01:15 PM

Ten-pitch walk. The guy may have a future as a Marlon Anderson.

Valadius Sep 15 2007 01:15 PM

Gotay gets a 10-pitch walk. Here's Reyes.

Zvon Sep 15 2007 01:17 PM

Fire Ricky! ;)

Valadius Sep 15 2007 01:20 PM

Reyes walks, so here's Castillo.

Zvon Sep 15 2007 01:23 PM

Re-hire Ricky!

Valadius Sep 15 2007 01:25 PM

Reyes steals second, and Castillo walks. Now Wright comes to the plate.

Zvon Sep 15 2007 01:26 PM

Fire Ricky! ;) Ok, I know Ricky's not at fault- but whats Reyes doing tryiing to steal 3rd with Wright up there? Gah.

Edgy DC Sep 15 2007 01:26 PM

That's three caught stealings in a row.

Valadius Sep 15 2007 01:27 PM

In good news, Ramon Castro was activated from the DL today after missing a month with his bad back.

Zvon Sep 15 2007 01:36 PM

Its not easy being Green when you make such big errors. 3-2. Burrell.

Valadius Sep 15 2007 01:37 PM

Green fucks up. *sigh* I like this picture of Pedro.

Zvon Sep 15 2007 01:39 PM

Any picture in Met blue and pinstripes is a keeper in my book. Thank you sir. *Z opens Met image file>drops it in. Big K of Burrell. Howard...

seawolf17 Sep 15 2007 01:40 PM

I like this picture of Pedro.

Zvon Sep 15 2007 01:40 PM

HUGE K!

Zvon Sep 15 2007 01:41 PM

Rockin' Doc Sep 15 2007 01:41 PM

After a shaking start to the inning, Feliciano comes back to K Utley, Berrell, and Howard. Mets cling to a slim 3-2 lead going to the bottom of the seventh.

Valadius Sep 15 2007 01:44 PM

Three straight K's. Me likey.

Zvon Sep 15 2007 01:45 PM

Another really great game so far. And personally I have not noticed any umpires.

seawolf17 Sep 15 2007 01:47 PM

="Zvon"]And personally I have not noticed any umpires. Z, they're the guys in the dark suits lingering around the bases waving their arms any time anything happens.

Zvon Sep 15 2007 01:47 PM

OW! But he gets up and continues. Whew.

Edgy DC Sep 15 2007 01:49 PM

So, who comes in for the eighth? Sosa?

Zvon Sep 15 2007 01:49 PM

="seawolf17"] Z, they're the guys in the dark suits lingering around the bases waving their arms any time anything happens. Oh...hmmmm,very interesting.

Zvon Sep 15 2007 01:51 PM

Feliciano stays in!

Zvon Sep 15 2007 01:51 PM

Phuck.

TransMonk Sep 15 2007 01:52 PM

Mother chucker.

Zvon Sep 15 2007 01:53 PM

That was not a bad pitch (Rowand had to go down and get it) but whats he doing facing a right hander to start off the inning? Gah,gah,gah.

Valadius Sep 15 2007 01:53 PM

What's happening? Yahoo Sports is frozen on the 7th inning stretch.

Zvon Sep 15 2007 01:54 PM

Home run by Rowand. 3-3 Mets.

Edgy DC Sep 15 2007 01:54 PM

Tuning my guitar, look back up and the game is tied. Must've been the tuning.

Valadius Sep 15 2007 01:57 PM

Oh good lord.

Zvon Sep 15 2007 02:01 PM

="Edgy DC"]Tuning my guitar, look back up and the game is tied. Must've been the tuning. I think I'll go get mine. Gonna write a song called "I Don't Like Sosa's Facial Expression Or Body Language". Wanna hear it? Here it go...

Valadius Sep 15 2007 02:03 PM

Now Yahoo's gone into fast catch-up mode on the game.

Valadius Sep 15 2007 02:06 PM

But Pete LaForest sucks! GAHHHHH...

Zvon Sep 15 2007 02:07 PM

Jeeze--those were strikes last night. Whats that guy in dark suit doing behind the plate?....oh. NOOOOOOOOO! NOT NOW BELTRAN!! DON"T MIS-PLAY A FLY BALL NOW!!!

Rockin' Doc Sep 15 2007 02:09 PM

It seems as if the Phillies have become the new Braves. The one divisional foe that we just can't seem to beat.

Valadius Sep 15 2007 02:09 PM

*bangs head on desk repeatedly* Willie... a word of advice. When a relief pitcher WALKS Pete LaForest, you take him the fuck OUT!!!

Zvon Sep 15 2007 02:11 PM

Schoeneweis's first appearance in a coons age.

Zvon Sep 15 2007 02:14 PM

Hey... I see now...I know what the Mets are doing. They would rather see the Phillies in the playoffs than the Padres. Hey,...I like this strategy.

Valadius Sep 15 2007 02:15 PM

Bring in Ramon Castro!

Valadius Sep 15 2007 02:20 PM

We need Blastings Killedge to do something here.

Valadius Sep 15 2007 02:27 PM

And Blastings does nothing.

Zvon Sep 15 2007 02:30 PM

<<<ooooo, Im Mr.Wright. I tried to make his hat more blue and its ends up looking like a powdered it. Gah.

Valadius Sep 15 2007 02:36 PM

Hey, Z, aren't there a few top-50-ish avatars that are missing? Like Reyes, Trachsel, Glavine perhaps? I know some are missing, but I'm not sure which ones.

Zvon Sep 15 2007 02:41 PM

Valadius wrote: Hey, Z, aren't there a few top-50-ish avatars that are missing? Like Reyes, Trachsel, Glavine perhaps? I know some are missing, but I'm not sure which ones. They have all been submitted. I was Reyes the other day and no av. *sob* To Edgy: I should add a fielding action shot of Reyes on that.

Zvon Sep 15 2007 02:43 PM

Come on! We can rally here!

Zvon Sep 15 2007 02:45 PM

UGH!!! Fuckin ridiculous! DAMN UMPS! That was so outside!!!!! And the lead-off guy---WTF!?

Zvon Sep 15 2007 02:46 PM

...and Anderson gets hurled. Reyes draws the walk.

Valadius Sep 15 2007 02:46 PM

Again, I'm gonna throw it out there: Tim Donaghy.

Zvon Sep 15 2007 02:48 PM

Reyes gets a SB on that indifferent take of 2nd. Infield single by Castillo. David Wright.

Valadius Sep 15 2007 02:52 PM

Yahoo froze again after the Anderson K, so I dunno what's going on.

Zvon Sep 15 2007 02:54 PM

Wright K'd. Was a good pitch--he was pissed. Beltran flew out to right. Game ovah!

metsguyinmichigan Sep 15 2007 02:54 PM

Just getting here. Our bullpen is becoming a disaster.

Zvon Sep 15 2007 02:55 PM

Phils have beaten the Mets for the 7th time in a row. That was their 45th comeback win, and that currently leads the league in that department.

Valadius Sep 15 2007 02:56 PM

Goddammit!!! Why can't we protect a freaking lead once in a while?

Zvon Sep 15 2007 02:57 PM

Pedro pitched a fantastic game, and thats what Im gonna take away from this. Looking for anything else would drive me maaaaaaaaaad!

Zvon Sep 15 2007 02:58 PM

Zvon none play of the game:

Zvon Sep 15 2007 03:36 PM

Fortunately Alou kept his hitting streak going. Unfortunately he only had one hit, and it was an infield single. Fortunately we held that damn Utley at bay. Unfortunately Rowand stepped up and had a great game. Fortunately we stole 6 bases. Unfortunately we were thrown out 3 times, one crucial, in my book. Fortunately we got to test Feliciano for 2 innings. Unfortunately he FAILED that test, and we have no pitcher to fill that type of gap, so it seems. (He did have a fantastic one inning though, striking out the side, the heart of the Phillies order. I don't consider that fortunate. That was just damn good pitching.) Fortunately Schoeneweis looked real good in 0.2 innings. Unfortunately, we need pitchers that can go longer when needed, and he's still Schoeneweis. Fortunately I'm having fish for dinner. Unfortunately I don't have enough to feed you all.

Valadius Sep 15 2007 08:27 PM

Some more pics for the vault: Feliciano Marlon Anderson yelling at the shitty ump Castillo steals second
