Zvon Jul 06 2008 11:43 AM

Church is said to have had a migraine headache last night, not related to his head injury.

Vince Coleman Firecracker Jul 06 2008 11:44 AM

Endy Chavez, last 28 days: a completely respectable .316 BA, .365 OBP. (Nevermind that .407 BABIP over the last week)

Zvon Jul 06 2008 11:46 AM

Chavez singles in the 1st. Wright and Beltran can't bring him around.

Zvon Jul 06 2008 11:49 AM

Lead off walk for Werth. Hopefully not an indicator of how Perez will pitch today.

Vince Coleman Firecracker Jul 06 2008 11:50 AM

Ollie gives up a leadoff walk ahead of the big bats. Don't worry- that never comes back to hurt you.

Vince Coleman Firecracker Jul 06 2008 11:54 AM

Utley misses a big fat fastball up in the zone in a hitter's count.

Vince Coleman Firecracker Jul 06 2008 11:55 AM

Dammit! Delgado apparently glued up his glove before the game.

Zvon Jul 06 2008 11:57 AM

That pop up to Wright was interesting. Looks like David was a lil miffed Reyes didn't move off. I saw Reyes jawin him and looks like Wright was ignoring him. Left Reyes shaking his head. Perez picks off Werth but Delgado can't execute the throw to 2nd in a timely manner. J-Roll follows with an infield hit off Perez's leg. 1st and 3rd.

Vince Coleman Firecracker Jul 06 2008 12:01 PM

Ryan Howard vs LHP, 2008: .188/.248/.361 Yikes.

AG/DC Jul 06 2008 12:03 PM

Enough with BABiP. Unless we're gong to give equal respect to batting average discharged against batters in night games, the all-important BADABiNG statistic. --- a message from MASaTO.

Zvon Jul 06 2008 12:04 PM

BIG K of Howard. Thats the 120th time he's wiffed this season. That and his .223 average makes his league leading 76 RBI amazing to me. And Burrell pops out foul to 1st! WOOT!

AG/DC Jul 06 2008 12:05 PM

The glue comes in handy there. Thirty pitches, no runs. I'll have to talke it.

Easley is playing like he's on fire, NBA Jam style.

Thank you for the pop-up, Ollie. I foresaw a DP there, vividly.

Zvon Jul 06 2008 12:13 PM

I thought Easley was gonna score on that for sure. Grrrr.

bmfc1 Jul 06 2008 12:14 PM

Shoulda sent him with the pitcher on deck.

bmfc1 Jul 06 2008 12:19 PM

Either the moron Phillies fans are chanting "Ollie" or they are saluting the popular movie "Wall-E."

Zvon Jul 06 2008 12:21 PM

OMG! WHAT A CATCH BY ENDY!

bmfc1 Jul 06 2008 12:22 PM

Marlon should be even more embarrassed after seeing Endy make that play.

AG/DC Jul 06 2008 12:23 PM

bmfc1 Jul 06 2008 12:45 PM

Marlon reached further to hit that pitch then he did to catch that flyball.

Zvon Jul 06 2008 12:52 PM

1-0 Mets after 3 and a half.

TransMonk Jul 06 2008 01:16 PM

RIP RISP

Zvon Jul 06 2008 01:19 PM

Marlon Anderson is just so much dead weight these days. Shame :( Ill be surprised if one run gets it done today. How many have the Mets left on base now? 9? Good thing the Phils have left their share.

Zvon Jul 06 2008 01:37 PM

Reyes smacks a 2 out double and is stranded at second. Kendrick can't be in for much longer, and thats a good thing.

AG/DC Jul 06 2008 01:39 PM

I'm just glad to see Ollie make the sixth after that goofball first inning. Making the sixth with a shutout score? Wondermints.

AG/DC Jul 06 2008 01:45 PM

Nice to have a centerfielder to play right.

Zvon Jul 06 2008 01:46 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jul 06 2008 01:54 PM

Whew! Chavez closes that gap QUICKLY and makes another fine catch. Made that one look easy but what a jump he must have had on that. Thought at best it was Beltrans to dive for. Heres Endys earlier catch:

Zvon Jul 06 2008 01:50 PM

Kendrick is out btw. Condrey pitching for the Phillies.

Zvon Jul 06 2008 01:57 PM

Beltran stranded at second after a one out single and errant pick off throw. Eyecurumba.

Zvon Jul 06 2008 02:06 PM

Awsum play by Reyes on the grasscutter up the middle in the 7th. Takes a single from Victorino. Perez completes 7 and it's really nice to see him pitch another great game. Up to 110 pitches. The way he's going I'd be thinking try to squeeze him for one more and get the ball to Wagner. But thats gonna be all for Perez. Sanchez warming up. Tatis pinch hits for Anderson as it starts to rain lightly.

AG/DC Jul 06 2008 02:08 PM

Do you approve of pulling him here? Speak now or forever hold it.

bmfc1 Jul 06 2008 02:09 PM

110 pitches, but w/2 out and nobody on... I'd let him start the inning.

AG/DC Jul 06 2008 02:10 PM

They probably should have sent Aguila up for Anderson so he can stay in for defense.

bmfc1 Jul 06 2008 02:10 PM

1 to nothing, but it's been 2:45 so far.

AG/DC Jul 06 2008 02:13 PM

See ya, Aguila.

Zvon Jul 06 2008 02:14 PM

Aquila draws a pinch hit walk and gets picked off first with Reyes up. Tsk,tsk.

bmfc1 Jul 06 2008 02:14 PM

Yeesh. I guess he's gone when and if Moises returns.

batmagadanleadoff Jul 06 2008 02:24 PM

With first and second and one out in the bottom of the eighth, Manuel's bringing in Feliciano to pitch to Ryan Howard. I'd bring in Wagner here. The game's on the line right now. Wagner's the Mets best reliever and he is, conveniently, a lefty to boot. It's too bad that MLB has long ago, become slave to the save.

Zvon Jul 06 2008 02:25 PM

AG/DC wrote: What do you think of these conditions? Seems like they should call a delay. Yep. Its pourin and theres the tarp.

Frayed Knot Jul 06 2008 02:27 PM

And they're rolling an 'Odd Couple' !!!!

AG/DC Jul 06 2008 02:28 PM

Just as First-Batter Felicano is brought into the game. I'd really rather call on the Show here. Wagner too, of course.

Zvon Jul 06 2008 02:31 PM

Sanchez was cruisin fine till he booted that grounder. Errors may kill but not today. No. Not gonna happen. I also would like to see Wags come in here, but thats not gonna happen either. Slaves to the save, slaves to pitch counts, slave to what some players dictate.

As far as I can tell, Ryan Howard is still ankle-deep in water. If it means anything, the storm has blown past my house. I live about 45 minutes north of Citizens Bank.

What happens if they never resume? Does the entire eighth inning get wiped out, giving Perez a 7-inning CG/ShO? Or (more likely) does it go into the books as a 7 and a half inning game? And do the Phillies stats in the bottom of the eighth count?

Gwreck Jul 06 2008 04:21 PM

If they call it, it goes as a 7 inning game and the Mets stats for the top of the 8th are wiped. Yes, Perez gets the CG, SHO and W if that happens.

Feliciano reverses his bad 1st-batter trend.

Zvon Jul 06 2008 05:14 PM

Feliciano Ks the K-man Ryan Howard. Heilman to face Burrell.

bmfc1 Jul 06 2008 05:15 PM

Burrell v. Heilman: .308, 4 for 13, 1 HR, 3 RBI, 1 BB.

Gwreck Jul 06 2008 05:15 PM

The 2:50 rain delay seems to have favored Pedro Feliciano. Let's hope Pat Burrell looks as lost as Howard did.

Zvon Jul 06 2008 05:23 PM

I can't believe Burrell took that 3-2 slider. That was exactly where I wanted to see Heilman put it. Aaron gets a comebacker to get out of it! WOOT

KC Jul 06 2008 05:24 PM

Nice work by Feliciano and Heilman. That AB to Burrell was brutal to watch but walking him wasn't the end of the world there despite being up 1-2. Mets need to pile on a ton o' runs NOW!!!

Rockin' Doc Jul 06 2008 05:25 PM

Feliciano and Heilman are getting some beer tonight. Two huge outs after the rain delay.

AG/DC Jul 06 2008 05:25 PM

Yay, bullpen! Yay, three guys to get three outs! Yay, two and a half hour half inning!

Frayed Knot Jul 06 2008 05:27 PM

It would be real nice to get some more runs here Mets have had 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1 & 1 baserunners in the first 8 innings and the only one that scored was the guy who knocked himself in. And now a baserunner to start the 9th.

Zvon Jul 06 2008 05:27 PM

Way to start it Jose

Rockin' Doc Jul 06 2008 05:28 PM

Reyes leads off the ninth with a single. Let's get some insurance runs.

Frayed Knot Jul 06 2008 05:29 PM

Swing away! Pull the damn ball and see what happens. You might even get a hit by accident.

Rockin' Doc Jul 06 2008 05:29 PM

Reyes steals second to put himslef into scoring position.

Zvon Jul 06 2008 05:31 PM

Chavez bunts him over. Alls we need is a decent fly ball Mr. Wright.

Rockin' Doc Jul 06 2008 05:31 PM

I hate the sac bunt. Pull the ball and you advance Reyes and as Knot said, you just might even get a hit and RBI.

themetfairy Jul 06 2008 05:33 PM

Yes! Beltran drives home Reyes for an insurance run!

Frayed Knot Jul 06 2008 05:33 PM

And now Wright Ks and the gain from the sac bunt is out the window. But Beltran singles as I type and brings the run in!

Zvon Jul 06 2008 05:34 PM

BIG 2 out rbingle by Beltran

Rockin' Doc Jul 06 2008 05:34 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jul 06 2008 05:38 PM

This is one of those times where Beltran's speed comes into play. Because if say Delgado was still in the cleanup spot, the sac bunt would prompt me to int. walk Wright and go for the DP. Instead, Wright probably got the semi-int. walk (except he struck out instead). Upon edit: Damn, I'm always a batter behind with Gameday. I guess I should pay to actually see the games, but I feel like I spend too much time at the computer now.

KC Jul 06 2008 05:35 PM

Delgado is just a suckah for that low breaking stuff inside. A suckah.

Frayed Knot Jul 06 2008 05:45 PM

Might have gotten a break on that call. 2 down

Wagner is the worst. What a looooser.

seawolf17 Jul 06 2008 05:51 PM

I don't like Jayson Werth. I'd bet he's a .300 hitter against us easily.

Zvon Jul 06 2008 05:54 PM

A slider right over the heart of the plate to Werth. Right over the heart of the plate. Why Wags, WHY?

Gwreck Jul 06 2008 05:54 PM

Frayed Knot Jul 06 2008 05:54 PM

And now we've got the bottom of our lineup due up, the middle of theirs, and the best part of our pen is spent.

Rockin' Doc Jul 06 2008 05:57 PM

I feel partly to blame, not as much as Wagner, but partly. I'm the one, that during the rain delay, said I wanted to see an episode of Stinky Madson.

Zvon Jul 06 2008 05:59 PM

We are not gonna run for Schneider here?

With A Reyes's "power" and Schneider's "speed" could he even score him with two hits?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 06 2008 06:02 PM

I've never hated any Met as I hate Wagner.

Gwreck Jul 06 2008 06:02 PM

The funny thing is that the single -- and only a single -- kept Schneider in the game. If he had made an out, they would've switched him out for Castro, as the pitcher's spot would be leading off the next inning. If he had gotten a double, they would've put in a pitcher to pinch run for him.

Looks on TV like Smith's pitches move like mine used to playin whiffle ball. J-Roll with a lead off single. Shift on for Howard.

Howard gets to see a righty. I fear.

seawolf17 Jul 06 2008 06:51 PM

Huge out by Joe Smith. If Mike and the Mad Dog were in Philly, callers would be ready to trade Ryan Howard to Cuba after an 0-for-5 with four Ks.

Zvon Jul 06 2008 06:51 PM

Rollins steals second w/o a throw even tho Schneider popped up to throw as quick as anyone could. He holds it. Screws the shift to Howard. And Howard pops out to left. Whew.

And a great play by Jose Reyes to get Favre on the ground ball. Wow.

seawolf17 Jul 06 2008 06:52 PM

And the Phillies are down to their last out with the tying run at the plate, which means Feliz is going to hit this one into the Monongahela, or whatever river it is that's in Philly.

We are going to need a lot of beer for this game.

It feels like a playoff win. A friend was emailing me for updates while on a plane. The game was tied while he was getting on the plane and he "forgot" to shut off his Blackberry.

Whew! Considering the way the Phillies were bouncing around on the field after the Friday night game, I think both teams are treating this series like a mini play-off. We've clinched the tie - let's win this fucking series tomorrow night!
