Is this a big game or something?
The pendulum can swing between .5 game back and 8.5 games back depending on how this series goes.
No shift.
then he said it one more time, just to make sure everyone heard him correctly.
EAMUS METROPOLI!
Too good a hitter
Doesn’t really fit into the Mets’ plans of utter ineptitude. I suspect Jerry just wants to give him a day off against a lefty; make sure Church gets plenty of rest after his post-concussion issues.
werth and jamey carroll
separated at birth? jesus they’re hideous
kinda similar, but not as much as i thought
btw, eric: that’s geoff jenkins.
let's just say i'm not big on crowds and explosions
but i likes hotdogs.
this is a big damn series. if you watch no other series, i’d say this’d be the one.
I.M. Forme
wow Arod...madonna
this is the biggest news since Cher broke up George Foster’s marriage by luring him with bangles.
I.M. Forme
Makes no sense
Unless A-Rod still has an axe to grind with Jose Canseco, Madonna is a dog. Madonna < Cynthia Rodriguez.
gay men do like madonna
i dunno eric, I’ve seen cynthia’s handiwork and i’d have to say madonna’s more talented.
if you can live with the body hair, i say madonnas the way to go.
I.M. Forme
yes but she is pelvically mighty
i dunno, ya got me. arod does like em buff. or was that rodger. i can keep em straight.
I.M. Forme
you mean my vcr?
it’s the dreaded men in scoring position with less than 2 outs situation….
I.M. Forme
As much as I love Marlon Anderson (not at all), Chris Aguila is a much better option in LF vs. a LHP.
well played
also: he just drew a walk!!!!!!111 wtf?! someone saw more than 3 pitches!
you mean you guys don't love the way
marlons legs seem to already be scampering as he makes contact with the ball?
I.M. Forme
Happ's gone
The Phillies have to get at least 4.1 innings out of their bullpen in the first game of a four-game series. Nice work, even if it’s only 2-0.
about that Beltran fella
I know this subject is touchy around here, but here are my observations:
fielding: can’t get much better
baserunning: like butter
basestealing: latent ability
fouling off pitches with 2 strikes: not so much
I blame the tennis ball machine he works with, it encourages him to watch.
I.M. Forme
i know i just can't get that thought out of my head
ya gotta be able to foul them things off
I.M. Forme
I'm feelin ya, Eric
Sarcasm, maybe. But, the name is good. :-)
The 2008 NY Mets: Reyes singles. Castillo infield single. Wright walks. Beltran lines out. ZaBlanc bitches. Delgado strikes out. Reyes picked off third. Fans boo. Padres win 2-1.
Meh
Would rather not have it. I’m not too upset, tho, I’m really liking Easley/Castro. Hopefully Easley just stays starter for a long while.

Ah, shoot...
Didn’t even realize that. Well, Manuel has said he’s a coach will play the hot guy. Go, maybe it will work that way anyway.

i ve invested by futile irrational hopes in that rick aguillara guy
young second base man.
I.M. Forme
that pitch never looked good.
he doesn’t swing at the 2 seamer that almost came back but he swings at that?
and what the FUCK was santana swinging at?
At least they locked him up for two years
Don’t want him to come in and put up great numbers and just walk away!
Why is Christina Aguilera playing Left?
Chruch OK?

I think so
I conjectured above that Manuel wants to give him the occasional day off to rest his weary head. Happ is a decent lefty so tonight was a good fit.
Matchups, presumably.
But for some reason the same principle doesn’t extend to Delgado.
Pascucci, anyone?
Jerry Manuel: I’m sorry, who?
Phillies announcers are still talking about that pitch to Wright.
It’s unprofessional in my opinion. It was close, but it was inside.
better pitches have been called balls, i'll say that
not THAT horrible of a call
santana's only thrown like 60 pitches dammit--waking up from a dream
i hate that “The tick” looking mofo Pat Burrell.
I.M. Forme
8th inning
Way too important a situation. He’ll take a pass here and maybe take a crack at it in the 14th if we make it there.

do you think the Mets will pay me an ungodly amount of money
to stand at home plate and hold a bat?
EAMUS METROPOLI!
Phew
Wright’s throw sailed a little bit there; Delgado does a good job of keeping his foot on the bag, in general, and knows when it’s a good idea to leave the bag and apply the tag instead. Otherwise the dude is absolute shit at first.
Lay off Santana
How many pitchers with a sub-3 ERA are 7-7? Thanks to Beltran and the boys, Mr. Santana. NO OFFENSIVE SUPPORT for this guy. He has to be perfect to win.

Geez .79 era for Lidge
eeeverything has gone right for the Phils—they even got rid of the wife beater.
I.M. Forme
someone answer me this.
I’m pretty sure Sanchez just got that freakin’ hat yesterday.
HOW IS IT SO DIRTY?!
EAMUS METROPOLI!
i could sense it coming when dirty shook him off
Gary isn’t making me feel any better either—
does sny usually interview the other team’s hero?
I.M. Forme
There we go.
Clutch hits. Still this team’s Achille’s Heal. Note that all 3 Phillie runs came with 2 out. Freakin team. Kudos to Santana for pitching 8 tough innings.

no kudos
Sure he pitched great, but when you’re the best pitcher in the game you have to put the team on your shoulders and pitched the goddamn shutout. He had the 2 run lead and couldn’t get the big out. He seems to have just one bad inning and he’s just good enough for his lifeless team to lose and the Carloses just suck big time.
Save America. Impeach Bush
Give him a break
You give up 2 runs to the Phillies lineup in 8 innings, you are being a damn good pitcher. The Mets couldn’t manage a single RBI via a hit. Give me a break.

he's the best pitcher in the whole world
and they’ve lost 6 in a row that he’s started. So give me a break.
