Tale of the tape:

	Perez	Moyer
ERA	3.34	5.16
FIP	4.24	4.95
K/9	8.64	5.73
BB/9	3.72	2.89
K/BB	2.32	1.98
HR/9	1.14	1.36
WHIP	1.26	1.44
GB/FB	0.67	0.95
BABIP	.280	.306
eBABIP	.293	.322

Que se dillio:

So the last two games have been unmitigated disasters. Really, if the Mets can just grab one of the next two they'll end the series in pretty good shape, at least four games up on both the Phils and the Braves.

I've got

a good feeling about this game.

Nothing like facing a 21 year veteran to get your bidness back on track.

Good evening people

Nice, just turn on the game and they tie it. I'd really like to see the Mets just embarass the shit out of Moyer. But 4th inning, woulda hoped they'd done it by know though

by The Irresistable Force on Aug 29, 2007 8:15 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

Plenty of time left

though, i suppose

C'mon Milo

The kid has enough Ks for the month. He don't need any more.

by citimetro on Aug 29, 2007 8:16 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

There he goes!

Way to get the pitcher's spot around.

They's just getting started!

Moyer

Is that his age on the back of his jersey?

by The Irresistable Force on Aug 29, 2007 8:16 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

What??

Milledge is cocky?? Uh oh, thanks Phillies announcers for the info, I guess the Mets should dump him.

by The Irresistable Force on Aug 29, 2007 8:19 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

didn't you hear?

He high-fived some fans after his first HR. Baseball can do without guys like that.

by citimetro on Aug 29, 2007 8:21 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

No way!

What a jerk, trying to give his fans a little thrill, he really should be respecting the opposing team more than the fans. By the way, isn't Rollins considered to be a bit cocky himself? I like Rollins as a player, it's fun to root against him but these extroverted guys make watching the games more exciting in my opinion.

by The Irresistable Force on Aug 29, 2007 8:26 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

i hope Milledge

shows how mature he is by smashing Burrell's face into smithereens.

gettin a lot of work there at 3rd tonight

Ow

You can't walk the old-timer like that. It will come back to haunt you.

Although he might get tired standing up all inning long.

What a weird game Ollie's had

6 IP, 4 H, 5 BB, 3 ER, 10 K. That's some bizarre shit.

This shit

is getting annoying

by The Irresistable Force on Aug 29, 2007 9:16 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

I don't think

I can take much more of this. If we don't find a way to win this game we'll be in HUGE trouble. Someone needs to tell these clowns they're playing in Philly, not San Diego.

Eh. I"Huge trouble"

is a bit of an overstatement, imo. Still, this sh!t IS getting annoying, no doubt. That pickoff of Reyes was borderline ridiculous.

We're talking major league suckitude.

The butcher and the baker and the people on the street, where did they go? To meet the Mets!

by Rod Gaspar Fan Club on Aug 29, 2007 9:25 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Yeah

Our lead will still be bigger than a lot of teams' if we lose. But it's still troublesome.

And

the Phillies are playing like a team with something to play for while the Mets always seem to get complacent-looking when they get a decent size lead in the division. Maybe they ease up when they know it won't be a big deal to lose a few. I'm not saying that they aren't trying, but a lot of these veteran guys have been through it before, maybe subconsciously they lose a bit of the hunger that the teams trying to get in the chase happen to have. Just a theory.

damn it

This sucks rabbit raisins.

Let's go, boys

One run, and I don't care how you get it. Anyone remember Delagado's 2-run, game-tying HR off Tom Gordon last year?

I'd love

to give Myers another reason to go ballistic on someone

Woo hoo!

Marlon! Here we go, nice to have Endy back for that reason too. Let's go Green, get that run in

You have to be kidding me

Not even surprised

i cant believe

that thephils annc are calling that a good call... when they're guy practically tackled a 2nd baseman last week and they went nuts the other way

by metsexile on Aug 29, 2007 10:01 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

So are the Mets guys

The SNY guys all agreed it was the right call. Anderson used his hands to push Rollins, it's textbook interference.

by JasonB on Aug 29, 2007 10:03 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Bonehead play from Anderson

by JasonB on Aug 29, 2007 10:02 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

BULLSHIT

That was fucked up. He put his hands up, he wasn't trying to push him. Motherfucker!!!

"I'm Tim Teufel, let me begin by saying I was once a Twin/I made the move and it feels just right/I've been Metsmerized and I see the light."

Oh man, I'm pissed

Funny how the only time they ever enforce that rule is when the game is on the line. The only time I've ever been this mad after the game was in Kansas City three years ago, when they scored the tying run with 2 out in the 9th and the ump called him out.
