Mets @ Phillies: April 16-17 Thread

[Beamen]

After yesterday's rainout, the Amazin's head to Philly to take on Rollins & co. Let's do our best to keep them in their place, and out of contention in the division

[MSUJet85]

I'm heading to the game if it isn't rained out, anyone else going?

[MSUJet85]

Game is postponed again

[Beamen]

Dammit.... Baseball season's just getting started, and I'm just getting into the groove of Mets baseball everyday... And then we get two rainouts.. Shit

At least we can be thankful that we're not Cleveland Indians fans. (Well, for lots of reasons, but the weather included.)

I'm going to watch the Islanders game tonight mostly anyway, so it's less of a pain than usual.

[davecrazy]

they probably could of gotten the game in.

[Beamen]

Finally gonna get a game in.... Let's kick some Philly-ass

[3rdAnd15Draw]

willie pulling a tony larussa

[MSUJet85]

Nice DP to get out of the inning!

[MSUJet85]

Wright extends the streak!

[3rdAnd15Draw]

alou gives the mets a 2-0 lead!

[MSUJet85]

Alou hit a 2 run shot!

[Beamen]

Valentin! Nice!

[statjeff22]

Nice shot by Moises. I wonder if Carlos II is ever going to hit one.

Interesting story about how Wright's brother is at VT, and the family couldn't get through to him for a while.

[Beamen]

I feel like we turn two every single inning

[MSUJet85]

Beltran steals 2nd!!

[3rdAnd15Draw]

maybe a new nickname is in order, carlos k?

[MSUJet85]

Carlos II is still cold.

[MSUJet85]

Reyes has a gun!

[MSUJet85]

simply horrible...

[3rdAnd15Draw]

that absolutely did not touch utley

[MSUJet85]

ugh Glavine is walking into deep trouble right now

[statjeff22]

And once again the ridiculous tendency for current players to not get out of the way of pitches is rewarded (and I also agree with 3rd that it never hit him anyway).

[MSUJet85]

Horrible :mad:

[3rdAnd15Draw]

fucking horseshit

[vinsjets]

Someone want to fill in whats going on?

[MSUJet85]

Someone want to fill in whats going on?

Glavine walked in a run

[MSUJet85]

Looks like Lo Duca is out of the game with the hand swelling up

[3rdAnd15Draw]

pat burrell is not fast

3-1 mets

[statjeff22]

Carlos I up with two on and two outs. Really need a big hit there, and he gets it! Opposite field double, 3-1 Mets.

[MSUJet85]

Carlos I doubles Castro home!!!

[MSUJet85]

This walk makes absolutely no sense

[statjeff22]

And Keith continues to blather his nonsense about defense. Yes, Burrell is slow and a better fielder would have caught it, but the important things were the singles by Glavine and Castro, Keith.

[3rdAnd15Draw]

curious(read:stupid) move by the phillies here, make them pay wright.

[statjeff22]

Big moment in this game.

[3rdAnd15Draw]

and wright makes the phillies look smart

[statjeff22]

Geary makes the Phils look smart.

[MSUJet85]

sigh, Wright still strikes out way too much

[statjeff22]

and wright makes the phillies look smart

Geary makes the Phils look smart.

Interesting difference in emphasis

[3rdAnd15Draw]

alou is not fast either

[3rdAnd15Draw]

screw you, tommy

[statjeff22]

Glavine's gonna get burned bigtime one of these innings.

[3rdAnd15Draw]

glavine escapes yet another jam

[statjeff22]

Glavine gets Utley and Howard on Ks and Burrell on a popup to get out of it. Amazing.

[3rdAnd15Draw]

#2 for alou

[statjeff22]

Holy Moises! Another dinger for Alou!

[statjeff22]

Sean with a double!

[statjeff22]

Interesting that Glavine is hitting for himself here - why was Smith warming up, then?

[3rdAnd15Draw]

i think i'd take glavine out here

[3rdAnd15Draw]

and somebody is an idiot

[statjeff22]

Somebody missed a sign.

[statjeff22]

Well, we were right twice over that Glavine should have been pulled in the top of the inning.

[3rdAnd15Draw]

wow, that was a nifty dp

[statjeff22]

Beautiful spin on the 4-6-3 by Reyes.

[statjeff22]

Great pick by Alou in LF. Glavine's definitely buying the drinks tonight.

[3rdAnd15Draw]

lets not test glavines luck in the 7th, please.

[statjeff22]

Reyes with the leadoff single.

[statjeff22]

Reyes steals second on the pitchout.

[3rdAnd15Draw]

did they just cut away from the game to hear glavine blather on about the weather?

[statjeff22]

Reyes goes to 3rd on a ball 4 wild pitch; Carlos I grounds out for an RBI. 5-1.

[statjeff22]

did they just cut away from the game to hear glavine blather on about the weather?

That would be yes.

[3rdAnd15Draw]

nice inning for feliciano

[statjeff22]

Feliciano with the 1-2-3, helped along by a nice play by Valentin.

[3rdAnd15Draw]

well, valentin is swinging the bat better

[statjeff22]

Valentin doubles in a run. Ever since I complained about how he shouldn't be playing because he's not hitting he's 4-for-8, with all 4 being doubles. You're welcome, Jose.

[3rdAnd15Draw]

more bad baserunning from reyes, nice fill in job by castro tonight

[statjeff22]

Beltran seemed to lose that ball - maybe in the wind?

[statjeff22]

Another nice pick by Valentin.

[statjeff22]

Delgado's slugging percentage this year is .249!

[17a_tailgater]

Who Is The Team To Beat?

[statjeff22]

That's it. Career victory #293 for Glavine.

[MSUJet85]

Nice win tonight!

[FrankTheTank]

jim-mee roll-ins *clap clap clap clap clap*

Phillies are apparently already imploding.

Manager Charlie Manuel's frustration was evident after the game. The normally mild-mannered manager challenged a radio talk-show host to a fight. Manuel had to be restrained by hitting coach Milt Thompson at one point.

"We're going to win," Manuel could be heard yelling in his office.

[ShadeTree#55]

We own that Stadium.
