Ugh..Easley.
Castillo has some decent numbers against Moyer, but in only 14 abs. I guess since Castillo wasn’t exactly doing great in the minors before he came back and maybe for the fact that want to ease him back in are reasons why he isn’t in there tonight. But yeah, I’d rather have Castillo in there instead of Easley tonight.
Guess Easley realizes he needs to play hard for playing time. Works for me. I just mean, Castillo would probably benefit from some regular playing time in a row.
Yeah!! UGH EASLEY….only if you’re a PHILLIES FAN!
It’s okay, I love it when I say “OH SH*T…ARON FREAKING HEILMAN…”…and then he makes me eat my words!
LET’S GO METS!
Hey, sometimes you’re just wrong.
I was wrong.
What does Church have to do to get slotted in the 2 hole? I know he’s a lefty, but I think he’s proved this season he can hit LHP.
It’s imperative Pedro gets off to a strong start. No first pitch home runs this game in other words
Dont’ care as long as they win.
I have the same attitude. That being said, I don’t want to give the Phils any momentum early in the game, regardless of how “easy” it is to get runs in CBP. Pedro needs to set the pace with his pitching and the offense needs to put the hammer down enough so that the Mets BP can hold off the big Philly bats.
I know it seems obvious to say things like that, but if the “experts” can say it, why can’t I?
Similarly, I’d like the Mets to strike early. They don’t seem to score much when they don’t.
Theres something about this lineup that i really like against the lefty Moyer. I just have a funny feeling that tatis and easley will have big games today.
guess i should have that feeling every game.
easley just went deep.
tatis is next
and there goes tatis homerun…..
you are a genius my friend
wow. this is the most power in the mets lineup i’ve seen all year.
I know delgado has been hot, but it might be nice to see Evans spell him against lefties once in a while… it can serve the purpose of giving us a big lefty bat for the bullpen and break of the tatis/evans lefty platoon issue.
Yeah..but you don’t spell him against Phillies. As bad as Manuel is, at least he’s not Charlie and his keeping Hamels from pitching against the Mets.
Old Man River is due to get his butt kicked. Hopefully this is the day and Pedro will have enough veteran savvy to keep the Phillies lineup off balanced
Love the fact that Jerry is showing that he’ll still bat Easley against lefties.
You mean his stubbornness to play his lesser 2B against a division rival?
Get over it. Easley has had some very big hits, and is much fresher than Castillo.
And while you’re at it, get over being dead wrong about the Willie firing.
Actually, I’m not dead wrong about the Willie firing. Manuel is merely right place right time.
Easley is fresher, and it’s the only reason to play him today, his performance not withstanding. Castillo needs the everyday play(which is why he should’ve been activated Saturday), because he’s flat out the best option down the stretch/playoffs, but maybe you wait until after the Phillies series.
Easley has earned another start tomorrow though, so it’s interesting to see what Manuel does with that.
lol
Why do you like Castillo so much? So he may have slightly better numbers, but he is a lazy player and can barely hit the ball out of the infield.
I have never seen anybody else turn more routine grounders into close plays.
He has MUCH better numbers offensively than Easley or Reyes—check them out, you might be surprised…especially his numbers vs Easley’s, in many fewer AB.
And I wonder how the folks who think Castillo’s defense is “atrocious” thought he looked in the field last night??
Um, sir? Castillo against lefties hasn’t been impressive. Numbers warped by 3 homers. Think he’s a power threat?
Also, diving stops don’t really mean much. It’s about range. Is he better than Easley defensively? Not this year.
Castillo should be starting, generally, but as he’s only 1 game off the DL, I have no problem at all playing Easley in this game.
It’s about range, but diving stops don’t mean much?
Isn’t a diving stop an example of RANGE?
Nice start to tonight’s game, I am sure we can agree on that!!
Depends on how much ground you cover before the dive, obviously.
And I agree with you by the way that Easley is a good call tonight…I just think Slappy is better overall, but Easley against some lefties is cool.
Actually, I don’treally care for Castillo. I liked Reyes when he came up but he’s just not ready/fit for the majors. I’m not a big fan of Easley. It’s just that Castillo is a good player, and better than Easley, and helps the Mets the most. He’s not a lazy player at all, and sure Easley has some pop, but I’d rather Castillo’s better situational/RISP hitting.
ceetar, castillo looked pretty crappy yesterday, and Easley hits lefties.
has anyone bought seats from shea stadium?
Crap. I forgot I was going to have to listen to Harry Kalas tonight.
*bullet to head*
I actually don’t mind Kalis, he is unique. Definitely light years ahaead of the Nats/Marlins/Pirates guys. He’s no Vin Scully though.
Unique in that he sounds as if he is having a stroke whenever the Phillies score a run?
I can handle Kalas for slo-mo NFL Films recaps. A full baseball game? I feel like I have a pinecone in my throat just listening to him.
Here we go. Fingers crossed for a strong outing from Pedro tonight.
Let’s Go Mets !
Castillo’s better stats just feel empty to me. As if he gets on base more often but to less effect. While Easley may do so less, when he does something it just seems to carry more weight than Castillo’s hits/walks. Easley at the very least has a shot of hitting a friggin’ sac fly.
Nice Reyes!
Jose!
Go, Jose !!
Eff you, old man!
swing the BAT Easley
JOSE!!!!
“touch em all”
‘And the Mets take the early lead – again’.
Good start !
Easley in the 2 hole, Jerry is a genius!
Damn, would’ve loved to have seen Castillo bunt in that spot
No comment
Good start.
All you Castillo lovers can turn off your internet now
If only we can do this again in the 7th and 8th innings.
Yo, David.
Come on, Carlos. Get him in here.
boy is he getting hit
come on Mets, send these frontrunning fans home early
hope the mets score a lot of runs tonight, cuz unfortunately if there is ONE pitcher on the mets staff that i wouldn’t want up tonight, it’s pedro. you just know he’s gonna give up a lot of runs.
I’m waiting for the eagles song
“fly eagles fly…..”
it is August after all.
Man, those 45 mph pitches must hurt!
ha ha ha
Nice, keep tacking, keep tacking
TATIS !!!
Basesloaded == Mets Kryptonite, lets see if Superman can overcome it
And he does!
wow, that really sucked
That’s our Tater. BAT AROUND!!!
Oooh. Little late on that one. . . .
show em where you live ramon
the swamp?
The Mets have one more out before Moyer becomes Cy Young, they better make it count
Do not swing at the first pitch!!! Run the old man’s pitch count up.
We should have had more, let’s see if Pedro can keep ‘em off the board.
Come on, Jamon Castro!
Shoot, we had a real good chance to blow it open.
damnit, not even CLOSE to being enough runs there…
Would have liked more, but I’ll take it.
Nice start.
Mets are going to pay for blowing that opportunity, unfortunately
no question about it
Could have really blow it up right there. Hope Pedro brought his A game… the phillies never give up.
Pedro needs to get through the 1st inning with out too much damage
how about the first pitch?
haha
wow that sucked. feel bad for church there you know hes frustrated and clearly still not where he wants to be swing wise.
yup, ohhh yeah are the Mets going to pay
C’mon Pedro, at least it stayed in the park.
Bailed out Moyer there. Had him over 20 pitches and bases loaded 1 out. Then Church and Castro get 2 outs on 3 pitches.
The Phillies guy just said Pedro only threw 2 pitches in his prime.
Oh my god.
lets face it, Pedro’s been a bust
Wow, Utley gets hit, that was a surprise. Utley couldn’t get out of the way of a snail if he saw it coming from 100 yards away.
Has Pedro ever won a big game for the Mets? Seriously?
church has one hell of an arm!
.227 ? yiiiikes!
it’s a SOLID .227
I love it when Church shows off his arm
LOL Ryan Howard
Too bad we couldn’t get the strike ‘em out throw ‘em out.
Hmm, an Utley hit by pitch and a howard K, who could have ever predicted that might happen.
the whole team leans into pitches
Utley’s head needs to get thrown at. The only pitches that don’t hit him are in the right hand batters box.
honestly i can’t stand pedro, every pitch is scary
YES Pedro !!
wow, WTG Pedro – nice way to come back and get Victorino!
Pedro!!!
All I can say is WHEW
Anyone know anything about a FHA fixed rate loan?
Nice Petey!
Atlanta is up 2-0 on Florida bottom 1st
correction 3-0
Meet the new Pedro. It’s gonna take forever but he will just out smart the hitter. He is going to make a really good pitching coach one day if he wants it. Think about that AB. Lets Vicie think that he is pitching around him only to throw 3 straight changeups for strikes. LOL.
He still has some good stuff for sure and he is definitely a very, very smart guy. I think part of his problems adjusting not having his fastball anymore though is sometimes trying to get TOO smart, if thats possible.
Moyer is going to be unhittable the rest of this game, might as well take pitches
:)
lol
LOL. Do it again. Do it.
GOODBYE !!
Damion gets it done.
It’s outta here!
I’m sure Castillo coulda done that though….
Where are the clowns now who wanted Slappy Castillo starting?
Waiting for Easley to make an error so they can justify playing “:Slappy”.
What about that play X-Man.
Awesome!! Easley is the man! Who needs “Slappy” ?
Damn, thought he popped that up to the SS. :D
god, Moyer looks like he shot puts the ball over home plate, how does he ever strike people out?
I know its always that borderline strike at the knees that drops.
That’s the difference between having a “Slappy” hitter in the 2-hole or a ‘real” hitter that can actually get a hit!
Not to debate the Easley starting vs. Castillo but Easley certainly looks like he is trying to prove Jerry is a genius tonight….
he is a genious.
as long as everyone’s hitting.
Moyer makes Pedro look like a fireballer. lol
What people don’t seem to understand is that the only thing keeping Castillo’s numbers better than Easley’s is the fact that Luis isn’t playing. If he was they would just keep going down.
Agree 100% !!
That makes no sense. So Castillo, who is performing at below career average numbers already is doing his numbers a favor by not playing?
Why does it have to be one way or the other guys? Easley is and will be an important member of this team this season. Castillo still has a chance to be. He does not hit for power (although his SLG is way better than A. Reyes) but he does field well enough and gets on base. Easley’s not going to play every game and will be important down the stretch as a pinch hitter too. Example RH starts and then Easley is ready to ph as soon as the LHRP comes in. That’s whats great about Easely and Tatis, they play multiple positions and can handle the bench as well.
Agreed.
You are correct. But it’s still nice to have a “Real” hitter in the 2-hole instead of ‘Slappy”. Castillo will serve his purpose though, but this line-up is better with a true hitter hitting 2nd.
Call me crazy, I still like the idea of Castillo at leadoff and Reyes 2nd
Might work, Castillo has a good OBP.
I don’t care if the #2 hitter is a “real” hitter or not as long as his OBP is high. In fact Tatis might do a good job there.
shave your fruity goatee Werth
because we’re stuck we him, an average player for 4 years
We have been stuck with a lot of average players over the years. Every player on the team does not have to be above average. It’s actually important to have some role players like Tatis, Easley, Castillo, Castro…..
Pedro is out craftying Moyer
Very, very nice.
Nice play by D-Easy.
Good inning for Pedro.
Everybody keeps knocking easley’s defense but he really has NOT hurt us at 2nd.
HA! The D is there too!
OK, Too Many Uniforms, Easley is making you look good tonight at the plate and in the field!!
Duly noted!!
Anyone wondering if this team was focused for this series? They are real sharp tonight. Its amazing how well they’ve played defensively since the All-Star break. And I refer you all to the first comment in this thread. To quote “ugh Easley”
makes you wonder why they couldn’t have played with this focus at least one of the last 10 games they played against the Phillies last season
If you haven’t noticed already I don’t like Castillo, but here is another point.
Castillo too often bunt’s with Reyes on first and no outs. Luis doesn’t hurt his stats in these stutuations, but in the end it is such a waste of an out
worst of all he does it in the first inning
100% correct.
Called by the manager.
You slappy castillo lovers are nuts. Lets see Easley showed off his bat and glove tonight.
Castillo showed off his glove last night.
A platoon might be excellent, a la Teufel/Backman.
A good second baseman wouldn’t have even needed to dive for that play! LOL
Mark my words, Luis defense will start to be lazy again once his knees flare up again and he starts to pout about his playing time.
Forget Slappy, Easley gets the job done when the Mets need it done.
Its a pleasure to see the old man frustrated.
tatis is about to go deep
on fire
Amen LES.
Of course when Easley was grounding into about 20 double plays in a row last week, there wasn’t a lot of love for Mr. E.
What has slappy Castillo done so great this year rk?
mets and phillies fans going at it in phillies nation is really comical
Man, both sides of the fence are bad over there. Can’t believe half of them don’t get banned….
see, horrible umpiring goes the Mets way sometimes, not often, but sometimes
Fine, that makes up for the Marlon Anderson take out slide last year.
interesting, instant replay wouldn’t make a differance here
YEAHHHH!
wow…..im on fire tonight
GOODBYE.
Fernando sends it out !!!
Keep piling it on, guys.
Yeah Mets!
Nice pair of Tatis on that guy!
TATIS!!!
TATIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who called it, someone did, got to give props to them.
LOVE this lineup!!!!! i was just coming here to post about that when tatis knocked it out….keep it rolling guys!
LETS GO METS!
Wow 11 pitches and then he hits a bomb. That’s an incredible at bat by Tats. Love me some Tatis baby.
TATISED!!!!!!!!!!!!
You called it zwnyr11 !!!!
Thanks for the BP tonight Moyer
Why do I still have a feeling the Phils will get the tying run to the plate tonight? Hope I’m dead wrong.
Because our BP s…………..cks!!!
and that Shane Victorino will be prominently involved, yes, we all have those feelings
Unfortunately I called it. Phils right back in it.
Mets need every run they can get cause the pen will be in for at least 3 innings tonight
you’re dead wrong
i hate to brag but before the game i said that it was a great call to start easley and tatis against the lefty.
easley goes deep.
i called tatis’ shot before it happened
just doing whatevere i can to help the mets
you and about 90% of Mets fans wanted Easley and Tatis to play tonight
hahaha, thanks
Good job by Tatis!
OK?
Let Pedro walk a steal here. Just as soon to have Reyes lead off next inning.
awsome. Does everyone have a hit except Church And Castro?
tatis…with a TATTOOOO !!
Well Pedro has really good stuff so if he can be a little more economical the next few innings maybe we can avoid too many innings from the pen. A little wishful thinking I know
Pedro throwing 91 and locating his curveball makes for a solid outing.
I hate this guy
Nice Pedro is getting a lot of swings and misses and moving the pitch around the strike zone.
Wow, its like Pedro is telling the hitters what to swing at.
Rollins should be thrilled tonight, he’s padding his stats
I was going to say this. I hope he tries to steal third and gets nailed.
I wonder if he nails gloves up in his room like Willie Mays Hayes
Gary Matthews is obsessed with the fact that Pedro would hit some guys in the past.
If Pedro still had his fastball he would have thrown at Utley by now.
OMG Rollins’ hair fell out and his scalp turned red. What is going on up there?
Well Taguchi won’t be hitting any game tying homeruns in the 9th
this lineup will really be poppin’ once
moises alou comes back!!!!
You are dead wrong. LOL.
Moises and El Duque are probably throwing one HELL of a party somewhere.
I bet they’re having a really good laugh to
Well, one of HELL of a party with plenty of handicap ramps around.
wow, Pedro is dealing right now
Its all his brain over his stuff too, except that last pitch, that was sick.
Yea Pedro!!!!!!
Pedro might not be the pitcher he once was but he’s brought his A game and mind to this one tonight.
Pedro, looking niiiiiiice.
5 strike outs in three innings, not bad at all!
They better build a 10 run lead before they hand it over to the BP!
Plenty of time to get a double for the cycle!
SHHHHHH
ahhhhhh, Phillies are throwing out putrid pitching, the world is back on it’s axis
Again, where are the slappy castillo fans?
Easley !! Wow.
EEEEAAAASY E !!!!!
we got victorino runnin’ wild out in CF ….haha.
Oh its so soo Easley
God I miss Castillo, why the hell did Jerry play Easley for?
man, how can anyone hit a triple in that band box?
cmon david get your 100th rbi!!!
Done
David Wright – 100 RBIs !!
Congrats.
The Mets owe Victorino a fruit basket for the two triples he gave them. He’s gotta know when its over his head, hold up and play it off the wall.
Finally 100 for D. Wright.
Wright 100 RBIs!
I still don’t feel comfortable
we need three more runs to feel “relatively” safe.
are you woody allen?
Easley a double away from the cycle!
I’m sure if slappy castillo was playing he would be putting up the same numbers as Easley tonight.
It would take him a MONTH to do what Easley is doing in one game!
That’s like 8 bunts in three at-bats
at twice the price
LOL, yep. Way to go Omar!
Luis Whoooo?
someone predicted this that easley and tatis were going to have big games and whoever you are you sir are weird
Not weird, makes sense against a slow throwing left-hander.
Don’t get me wrong guys, I’m very excited that we are up 7-0, but do you guys still feel a little bit uneasy? I hate to have the feeling that 7-0 is not enough because of our crappy bullpen.
oh for god’s sake man. can’t you enjoy life?
believe me, I understand
hahaha i know the feeling
i keep telling myself to continue drinking because NO LEAD IS SAFE
ugh, leadoff walks, do you really need to do that with a 7-0 lead?
I hate this little ‘rat” .
see that guy with the outrageous seat that’s holding
the radar gun? that’s the job i want
I can live with one run there. I guess there is a guy doing the same thing at shea?
Good job by Pedro for not letting things get close.
thats a MVP play all around. Rollins and Howard
great, another injury, what a week
Ugh, just put Schneider in there.
Uh, Oh…..Didn’t Castro go on the DL about this time last year?
see the wisdom of having 3 catchers? huh? huh?
Poor Castro. And there are people out there that want him to be our starting fulltime catcher.
details, pls – what happened?
He tried to run and got injured.
Looked like hamstring running down to first.
Applause! Applause! Phillies fans FINALLY handle METS injury on the field like normal humans…and didn’t boo hi…and from what I can tell on the tube, there were no crybaby chants either!
Now, let’s go mets!
Hopefully its not severe. I have a feeling that no matter what he was going to take Castro out of the game in that situation as he would have done with anyone else on our team in this game.
Well, Castro started off the season on the DL with a hamstring problem….
It’s a shame because castro is a pretty good player.
You got to be kidding me.
doubles by relief pitchers is always a great way to start off an inning
All right, let’s not start giving them life.
Damn.
gulp
Dammit!!!!
F U jimmy !!!
This is why I wasn’t comfortable with a 7-0 lead. Bullpen sucks, Pedro is unstable, and the Phillies can rake.
I knew there was a reason I didn’t feel comfortable back when it was 6-0.
So, predictable, but will be all the more hilarious after the Phillies lose.
Mets need to score 12 runs to win this game
hereee we gooo
Mets Offense better not fall asleep. They need to tack on some more runs or it could be another in a long line of heart breakers.
4 innings of bullpen in CBP, good luck Mets
Come on Pedro!!!!!
Time to yank pedro
If the Mets put the bullpen in in the fifth, they lose, period
Yeah, you gotta let him finish the inning.
stay calm everyone, remember, manual’s a genious
hahaha Burrell
Oh no
NOOOOOOOOOOOO
PEDRO SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hey genious….go get your ace
hahahaha at the Mets fan
This is great…they had a 7-0 lead, and the game is as good as lost because we’ll be in our bullpen in the 6th.
WORST
CHOKERS
EVER.
F**king Un-Amazing
Look who is back.
“Look who is back”
Yeah, the Phillies in this game.
LOL
You’re so pathetic.
AngryFan just needs some lovin’ guys. He’s had a rough life.
God help if Pedro blows it here, all mets fans will need some TLC
To AngryFan,
You’re very very stupid. But I love you.
XOXO,
Kevinz
can we trade pedro for kevin mulvey?
Did anybody really think the Mets were gonna win this game 7-0? I’m sure the Phillies pen will probably retire the next 12 hitters in a row.
I knew beating the Phils with Johan tomorrow was too good to be true
If they lose this game, they’re gonna freefall to the finish, maybe play below .500 ball
The Phillies are a team to be respected for their fight and heart, the Mets choke.
Sad.
You need some Prozac?
Puppy pictures?
……….
kittens?
crock of crap. Even if they lose another high scoring game in this house of horrors, it isn’t going to trash the rest of the season.
And how can a team with so much heart and fight be down 7-0 in the 3rd inning? Do they only decide to fight after getting way behind?
Who was it that said they were sure the tying run would come to the plate?
i don’t know, but i told him he was dead wrong.
jeez
That was me :D
I read that and laughed at you, I have to admit… thinking some Mets fans can be so negative.
Sorry about that.
Anyone who thought this game was at hand with a 7-0 lead has been living under a rock for the past two years. It’s not hyperbole to suggest you’re not safe unless you have a double-digit lead in the 8th inning or later vs. this team.
Mets need to wake up from their 2 inning offensive slumber, piss in the stats that say they don’t score runs after the 6th inning and get their crap together RIGHT NOW.
The Mets bullpen is going to end up more shredded than the Phils.

AngryFan,
You’re very very stupid. But I love you.
XOXO,
Kevinz
Now we have a meeting at the mound?
What has Pedro earned with the Mets exactly?
besides a hell of a good living. remember when he valliantly said johan could be called the ace?
pfft
Any time you’re ready to get Pedro out of this game is fine by me.
Can th4 pen hold a 1 run lead?
Becasue odds are, the offense is done for the day, so the Mets are holding at 7.
if the mets win this game, i’d be very surprised.
Back in the third inning, I could’ve sworn I heard the Wolf say, “let’s not start sucking each other’s d*cks quite yet…”
Never a more appropriate quote in the history of mankind…
shades of Grady Little right there…..
Ok, when Werth is stealing bases, someone is stealing signs
yeah prob
So in his biggest start as a Met…….Pedro = FAILURE
Thanks Petey. Please sign elsewhere next season
right, there’s no way the mets sign him next year.
btw…the mets have alot of bad contracts coming off after this year:
pedro 14-6mil?
alou 8mil
el duque 7 mil
that’s 29-31 mil for two to three players that really didn’t contribute much to this team
I’d give him a D-
He did not blow the lead which is why he did not get an F
Choke much Mutts Fans??
hold your comments until you have the lead
hey! where have you been, loser?
how do you like second place??
Rollins was right when he called them frontrunners
whoa, baseball games end in the 5th inning? How did you make it to Wall St.?
Unfortunately for you pretty much every game has been like this and the Mets are 9-4 against the Phils this year.
Real original name there.
bottom of the food chain
WORST
LOSS
OF
THE
SEASON
how did we lose already? it is the 5th inning!
Really so a game is over after 5 innings moron.
Angry Fan = Phillie Fan, which is why he’s so Angry.
HAHAHAHAHAHA !!
Citizens bank park is a joke.
what is sad about this is that that is pretty much the best he could do
Allright Pedro, at least he got us 5.
No need to worry, the Mets will score more runs. I’ve never seen a bunch of bigger cry babies. You’d think they lost the whole season with some of your reactions.
I’m not watching the game, following on Gameday.
Were the Phillie HR’s bombs, or typical CPB cheapies?
We better score more runs. No lead is safe in this bandbox!
*CBP
none of the home runs (except for Easley’s) were hit particularly hard
HERE WE GO AGAIN !!!!!
Now we can sit back and watch some clown named Condrey pitch like Bob Gibson
bunt him over easley
Question:
Is AngryFan the stupidest person alive?
yes.
yes.
sorry for the double post
although it’s quite fitting actually!
Double for Easley right here to complete the cycle!
Yea JOSE!!!!
Reyes the whiner…..out at 1st by the NL MVP…..and NL EAST CHAMPIONS….
BOO-YAH….
what are you watching? He was safe by a mile
He was safe moron.
why even respond?
Man their fans are annoying, you would have thought they hit a walkoff homerun in game 7 of the NLCS.
more runs more runs…. you can’t hand a 2 run lead to this bullpen with 4 innings to go
What did they do in the playoffs last year, get SWEPT by the Rockies in the first round lol.
Because we know had the Mets limped into the playoffs they were going to beat the Rockies, right?
Nobody was beating the Rockies in the NL Playoffs, you dolt.
called it
WOW, Easley is now outbunting Castillo
Alright D-EASY!!!
Easley is having a heck of a game
this is the time drwight
Yea Damon!!!!
Nice bunt single!
come on lets get these runs back!
Let’s get a couple back!!!!
LET’S GO METS!!!!
like I said, 12 runs is the mark the Mets need to get to to win
Sweet! Bring in Eyre! His ERA is so huge, you’d think he be on our team (but he isnt!)
double steal?
i was thinking that too, but only if wright doesnt get on
interesting though, 3-2 count to wright here
kieth practically voted him in the hof, let’s see what he does
how many fastballs can you foul off
tension here
damnit
Come on, Carlos!
sheet
now we need a double steal
yup
I feel like Wright is the worst player on the team to have up with a runner in scoring position
at least the Yankees are losing
the mets need to score to change the momentum of the game
something scares me about beltran in the clutch, I don’t know about you guys
i’m starting to like this geico kid as much as guiseppi franco
no confidence in beltran
omg easley
why didn’t easley follow?
he was confused
Delgado is gonna have more RBI than Wright at the end of the season mark my words
please carlos, please
NOOO NOT BASES LOADED!
just the man you want in the clutch
bases loaded. lets go delgado!!
hope beltran’s okay.
Delgado has good numbers vs. this guy, come on Carlos!!!!
Jinx.
trying too hard
put it in play
unreal, GOD this team sucks with the bases juiced. just a pathetic at bat
well, who didn’t see that coming?
game over, mets’ll lose this one
No way are we winning this game.
It’s like the month of May all over again.
FIRE WILLIE!!!
took beltran long enough to get to second
I would take that Beltran HBP back right now…
How long before the Mets blow the lead, an inning? 2/3 of an inning?
some depressing mets fans on here
This team is SO bad with bases loaded and Wright is so bad with RISP…I feel like Tatis is our only clutch player
Way to work the count Delgado.
That had to be the slowest DP I have ever seen.
took the words out of my mouth
I couldn’t believe Delgado was almost safe.
That guy Eyre was fired up.
that wright at bat was a killer, that could be the game right there
Well, Bullpen, time to prove something other than sucking.
only in CBP can a 2 run lead feel like you’re behind
What’s Wright’s signature move?
Failing in the clutch and then throwing his bat in frustration.

Do you have to spell it vertically? In the English language words are generally read in the horizontal fashion?
It needs to be as long and drawn out as the agony these chokers put us through
You have been on here a while. Same stuff every night. Seriously, why are you a Mets fan this year if you believe what you say? Take the year off, give yourself and us a break. Come back when you are CalmFan.
Someone else has that name
Does anyone else have the name, “StupidFan”?
Ridiculous, deliberately annoying, agonizingly repetitive, thread-clogging, angryNONfan needs to be ignored.
Note he refuses to debate, and hates life, himself, and especially the Mets, so I ask him again and again, WHY WATCH BASEBALL??
There must be a ledge nearby calling your name, angryNONfan……
stokes gives up those two runs right here
well this games over
need a good shut down inning here
Greg Dobbs=Mets Killer….hate to see him in this game.
happy to hear that the Mets ineptitude has given the Phillies a ton of confidence
Honestly, how can this team have any fans left?
THEY’RE GUTLESS
lol, aren’t you a fan?
Yeah but I’m in the minority because I really do hate this team for their lack of guts
“GUTS”
Yup. Phillie fan.
You know they haven’t lost the game and they happen to actually be, wait–whats that, winning the current game being played?
What does that make the Phillies then?
The winners-to-be
Come back to me when the city of Philadelphia wins a championship in ANY SPORT. What has it been over 25 years. The sports teams in Phili are:
G
U
T
L
E
S
S
I’m in NY don’t care about Philthydelphia
Put Johan Santana in the game. Screw tomorrow!
i think stokes shuts the door this inning
1st and 2nd NO OUTS!!!!! heart of the order 3,4,5 up and NO runs score…that is just horrible
not like we are the only team that has happened too
not only did that happen just now but it happens way to much for the mets
Two horrible AB’s by Wright and Delgado. Delgado swings at the first two pitches (both balls) then grounds into a DP. Wright with a 1-2 count pops up to 2nd. Terrible AB by both.
that’s Mets baseball
you haven’t been watching
Mets still got the lead, and phillies have no real momentum.
LETS GO METS!!!
Stokes kind of looks like Bobby Ojeda, I wish he could pitch like him
stokes is throwing 97 mph
i like stokes in this situation
u still like him in this situation??
so what, he leaves all his fastballs out over the plate.
like i said
our season is gonna be ruined again by Jimmy Rollins. God dam*it.
if its any consolation, arod just had the same situation as delgado and did the exact same thing
here comes the two run homer
but we already know AROD sucks in the clutch
now we in trouble show in bp
Here’s a 2 run BOMB by Utley
Ok, the 3 run bomb is on deck
EVEN MORE HEARTBREAK
AngryFan = Phillie fan.
No just a realistic pessimistic fan
I don’t think so….
Your a Mets fan Angry?
No, he’s just a strange lonely guy starved for attention, which he is able to gain by coming on here and posting his idiotic and agonizingly repetitive drivel night after night after night…..
two outs and no one and i’ll bet they’ll score
jesus, Stokes looks like his fastball is straight as an arrow
Look out No SHOE is in the bullpen warming up!
Can Beltran ever dive for a ball please???
yea i thought he was supposed to be the best defensive OF in the game
Don’t be ridiculous if he misses it, inside the park homerun…
Thank you grmetsfan!!
come on Burrell, make it quick and painless
It’s over guys, there’s no way our pen can hold this thing.
wow huge cut
WOW out of it
wow, is this a playoff game? huge k
YES STOKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That one Mets fan the Phils broadcast keeps showing must be AngryFan’s father.
GUTSY INNING BY STOKES
G
U
T
S
lol he is so pissed
howard hit that homerun and he just got up and left his seat. Even though I was mad, he went crazy
three wows ina row!
Anyone notice that Angryfan and that guy that the Phillies broadcast keeps showing are one and the same guy?
Yeah, like I said, I think it’s his dad.
the governer called with a stay of execution in that at bat
There’s still 9 outs to get. A 2 run cushion aint gonna cut it.
schowenweis next inning for howard and victorino
Stokes getting the job done!!!!
Lets go Mets!
time to turn on the US OPEN
If the Mets don’t win this game… I don’t know what I’ll do.
Feds up a break
tatis gets on, church two run homer
i wish
guess not
see you all tomorrow everyone.
goodnight
we need some add on runs. We still need to get 9 outs, a 2 run lead is not good enough.
especially in this stadium with this bullpen against this team
Show for the 7th vs the lefties
Heilman for the 8th??? dont know who else to trust
Ayala for the 9th
trust?
yea trust
just didnt think I could see heilman and trust in the same stiuation, especially against the phillies where he seems to suck even more than usual
i understand
i couldnt sleep if I tried with this small of a lead and our bp doing some work
Maybe we can bring Pelfrey in to pitch?
Every day?
I would actually have an easier time going to sleep before the pen comes in with a lead. That way I won’t have the imagines of the runs crossing the plate and the sound of Harry Kalas having a stroke.
Damn pitch to Tatis looked like Ball 4.
If this game was at Shea I would be a lot more confident but in this park anything can happen.
Your team is playing in the very same park. It doesn’t favor only the home team.
hence, “anything” can happen
Well we have the fans at Shea, instead of those annoying front-runners in Philly, their attendence has only gone up cause of the event of last season.
What are you talking about? They’ve had 2.6 million or more consistently for the past 5 seasons.
i hate this place
why why why does the Mets bats just stop hitting at a certain point in a game, it doesn’t matter what scrub is thrown out against them, they just go to sleep
if our bp could hold a lead would we complain about the offense in late game stiuations
wow this game is long we’re only in the 7th and it’s already 10 o’ clock.
Yeah, these rivalry games can be like that. At least not every single one is a 12 hour game like Yanks-Red Sox.
Yeah, I was wondering when I turned it on in the 5th and it was already like 9:20 or so if there had been a rain delay… or if Steve Trachsel was pitching.
stokes still out there?
stokes still in? balls
what the hell is a left handed specialist for?
wow, stokes is still in there. I’m surprised, maybe they’re only gonna use show to turn around victorino.
come on one more
Stokes doing his thang.
sweet Victorino out on 1 pitch.
Don’t worry, he’ll be up again in the 9th and will probably work a 16 pitch walk.
even though he is doing ok, it still doesn’t make any sense unless he is planning on using them in the ninth when they are up again
if he gets this out i’d throw him back out there
rolling the dice for three innings is asking a lot
The anticipation of every pitch is killing me.
And there are 7 more outs to go. Ugh….
six
Yes, exciting game!
And yes, I agree the 1986 regular season was optimal, but this is exciting baseball….
keep him in there???
Huge 3 outs there.
YEA STOKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stokes is the man. He just gives up too many homers, but he’s gettin the job done tonight.
Brian Stokes
Merely man???
or
Man of the Century???
LOL !
anyone feeling a big jimmy rollins at bat coming either next inning or the ninth
that’s why we need more runs!!!!!
Guy is 4 for 4 and 9 for his last 9. Odds say he has to make an out at some point.
I was going to say something, but I made fun of Jimmy for sucking against us this year earlier today then of course he goes out and has a great night.
I told you before, you got the Gary Cohen jinx.
Nice inning by Stokes. Who pitches the 8th?
Thank God Stokes getting it done so far tonight….
Id say put Stokes back in for the 8th, and if he gets through it with ease, put him back in the 9th.
too late for that
His spot is coming up. Have to pinch hit for him here.
2 more runs, that will make my blood pressure drop tremendously.
5 and i won’t need to call Proceed for another day
i have a feeling heilman comes out in the eighth
i think manuel will go right/left till the 9th
Brian Strokes!!!
‘Who comes out for the 8th’?
Roll the dice…….
omg sanchez
You have to go to Ayala….he is the only other reliable reliver. Joe smith is next.
not duaner
if he brings out duaner we are losing this game
Oh god Sanchez is warming up.
Someone hold me.
(Someone female, preferably. Do we have those here?)
lmao!!
Duaner? Oh boy.
OOOO Why Sanchez Why !!!!
a philly radio station said that the mvp of the phillies this year is duaner
Sanchez ????
omg is right.
Maybe Jerry will go batter by batter with Duaner. As soon as one batter gets on, yank him.
whats the point
Come on, Easley – PLEASE ???
reyesis making this too close
Reyes is giving me a heart attack here.
More importantly, he’s giving Durbin a heart attack.
i wonder if he wants to steal
LOL – Success !!
good job reyes
Jose Jose Jose Joseeeeeeeeee….
now that is a ML stolen base
JOSE!!!
anyone think he swepts third
Why does the bullpen look barely interested in the game?
It’s about that time Wright improves his .250 BA with RISP.
Yeah, it’s a wonder he’s gotten to 100 RBI… although it does help to have Reyes on base for you.
the mets bullpen looks scared…another huge ab by david
ok lets try this double steal thing again, this time with easley going
I really love Jose Reyes sometimes
durbin looks rattled
can Wright get a base hit ONE time?????????
When there is nobody on base, sure.
wow
I swear half of Wrights RBIs are sac flies…
Wright has killed us tonight.
that’s why wright is not an mvp and why this team does nothing late in games
Mr. Clutch strikes again
Crap.
Looks like we’re doing this the hard way and relying on the BP to pitch 2 scoreless innings…
Wright and Church have been brutal at the plate today.
That is truly unbelievable. Come on, Wright.
oh boy
2 double plays. Good job David!
way to go davey. Here comes Sanchez, this should be fun.
i was just thinking durbin was going to throw a “get me over fastball” and wright has a good chance to smoke one. Well i got half of it right…
why in christ’s name is he swinging at the first pitch there? why?
it wasn’t the first pitch.
dirty sanchez?
we r in trouble
wow, that just made me sick to my stomach
I don’t care how many RBIs Wright has, the guy pulls an AROD in more key spots than any other Met
Im sick of hearing how Wright might be an MVP candidate and Reyes isnt…Reyes THIS season has had a by FAR better year
exactly
mets make it wayyyyyyy too easy on other teams by this lack of plate discipline.
The Met offense is narcoleptic. Full steam ahead, and then, without warning, zzzzzz…. It’s almost funny, in a masochistic sort of way. Oh well, two more innings…time to start praying.
Wright against righties hasn’t been too good this year. What happened to his natural “go the other way” stroke?
He left it in 2007.
Strong starting pitching and the best run differential in the league innings 1-3.
Lousy bullpen and lack of late inning clutch hitting.
Your 2008 New York Mets.
should’ve just let Stokes keep going
Oh boy I am nervous
The bright side of this is that if we can get through this inning with the lead, Ayala has monster career numbers vs. the Phillies.
Thanks for jinxing it Gary :)
No problem, Keith.
Back to you, Ron.
I hope I’m wrong, I really do. But Sanchez is where we lose this game.
C’mon Duaner, you’ve got 2 easy outs to work with to start off.
i see the point of waiting for a get-me-over-fastball but in this situation, in this game, against this team with our bullpen, you MUST have those tack-on runs. Every one counts. No pitch should be taken for granted. He should not have swung there. That is brutal plate discipline.
if you can’t have your three hole swing at a get me over fastball than you really dont have a playoff team do you
turn the channel if you have a weak stomach
Sometime it’s like the Mets lineup is daring the Mets bullpen to blow the game
hahahah so true
Why is Feliciano warming up and not Schoe?
who cares, they both suck
*gulp*
Let’s go Dirty!!!
here we go…..
No Feliciano, please don’t do it.
So does Feliciano give up a walk or a double ?
and here we go
I love when Manuel starts taking out the pitchers after every at bat, it NEVER backfires!
IT’S FELICIANO TIME!!!!!!
Where’s Turk Wendell when you need him???
In this case it would be Dennis Cook
Brushing his teeth? Drinking OJ? Collecting the teeth of various sea creatures?
Bullpen finish doing your thang!
the Phillies should really find that cab driver from Miami and sign him to a public relations fee
1 out, 1 single. I guess that’s a success for some of our guys.
Taking a deep breath AND covering my eyes…….
solid outing by duaner, two batters-one hit, why continue with this guy, just start the inning off with smith
Braves have the bases loaded w/ 2 out in the 8th, down 2. Chipper at the plate.
no time for the braves
When the Mets blow this game the bullpen will get the brunt of the criticism, but once again, the lineup will have failed to put the stake through the heart of the other team
while you’re certainly right, you really can’t get mad at the offense when they score 7 runs. Your pitching staff needs to win that game…
like clockwork…
Great !!!
it’s like fcking clockwork, ok Manuel, bring in the next loser specialist
This is the season right here. Seriously.
a little dramatic, its a bigger game for the phillies due to santana tomorrow
what i say about rollins going to have a big at bat
im gonna lose it if rollins hits a hr
going to go absolutely nuts
its messed up how this wont even be the worst loss of the year yet we were up 7-0
the Philly fans cheering Rollins after going 4-4. You gotta at least appreciate the irony
I will sell my soul for a Rollins Double Play here
Well, here we go. Tying run at first. You’d think we’d be used to this by now.
F”CKKKKKKKKK
Ugh it was only a matter of time….
game over
LOL, it’s so predictable that it’s come to the point that all you can do is just simply laugh. LOL
all i have to say is 7-1
like we couldnt see this coming
game over, let’s hope for a split
i wish david is watching how rollins hits in the clutch
Sigh…..
David Wright couldn’t shine Chipper’s shoes
It never changes.
This is a joke right? One of you guys is messing with my satellite feed, right?
We were up by 7 with 17 outs left to get in this game before Feliz’s sac fly. Just sayin’
HAHAHA i just realized we were up 7 games with 17 to play last yr…HAHA
it is an absolute disgrace how failures like these make over a million bucks a year.
where is showenweis?
BOO-YAH!!!
CHOKE MUCH MUTTS FANS?
Get out you loser! you still don’t have a lead. Wait till you have a lead then talk.
true phillies fan, a moron
Obsess much closet Met fan? Worried more about the Mets than the Phils. Gotta love it. Can’t stop thinking about the Mets.
Feliciano is worthless. I want to turn off the game every time he comes in.
7-0, 7 to FCKING 0. Just beyond words how disgraceful this is
What is the bias against Shoeneweis??? I’m tired of Felatio constantly failing lately.
they all suck, pick your poison
why not just leave stokes in?
i agree he was pitching well
lucky we have heilman for extra innings
Seriously, how many games does Feliciano have to blow before he gets DFA’d? 20? 25? Jesus Christ.
i hate this…why you f-cks why!
Well, need to split this series. This game is over, so hopefully Santana has his good stuff working tomorrow.
it’s just delaying the inevitable, the Mets are winning the division with this bullpen, they’re just not
wow a 7-0 lead at one point to THIS!! simply amazin’!
Depressing
it amazes me how this pen can not get anyone out
i thought a broken clock is right 2x a day
depends what time
WHY IS FELICIANO ON THIS TEAM!!!!!!
So much for the bullpen rest doing any good.
yaaaaay, whatever, blow me Feliciano
My life just flashed before my eyes.
wow, utley can’t hit feliciano for crap, his swings look horrible
Pedro Cantinflas
pat burrell, might as well be chipper jones
1 more please…
Joe Smith, just once step up big time, we need ya to kid
Oh my God what a K!
If the straters don’t go at least 7, it’s now a GUARANTEED LOSS with this PATHETIC BP!
this game reminds me of the 9 run lead in july that we almost blew.
Johan needs to go at least 8 tomorrow.
wild pitch, tie game, book it, stamp it, send it to me I’ll autograph it, it’s what’s going to happen
Gary – ‘It’s a nail biter’.
NAIL BITER??? That wouldn’t exactly be my description of this game at this point…..
this game has WALK OFF HIT in the bottom of tha 9th written allllllllll over it.
We were up by 7 runs with 17 outs left to get in this game before th phils scored..
those #s seem familiar to u??? like last yr 7 games up with 17 games to play
actually it reminds me of last month when we almost blew a 9 ru lead
ew, creepy
Group Prayer: Dear (Enter god of choice here):
Please grant Joe Smith the power to get Pat Burrell out. I swear I won’t play with myself tonight if he does.
i’m sweating and all i’ve been doing is sitting for the last 3.5 hours
How many runners left on base by DW
Joe Smith……ohoho I can’t watch
get it to luis in the the ninth with the lead
gotta be someone in the minors that can pitch better than joe and the rest of these idiots
does anyone seriously not see a wild pitch here?
Obviously it didn’t happen, but I thought a wild pitch was coming, too.
Oh, geez! One run lead. Howard, Victorino, and Werth.
Come on Ayala…be the savior we need you to be!
wow, the mets should have free ulcer medicine night when they come home….this is too much and to happen during my fantasy football draft
Interesting strategy by Manuel using Sanchez and Feliciano. Both of which are guarnteed to put runners on base. Why not go with Show and Smith to start with?
JEEZUS SMITH
yankees lost
good at least there is a little good news on the night
since they are finished can we have mariano for the good of new york
we’ve done a great job holding runners on
the Phillies are stealing signs, period
What signs?
1. Lollipop
2. hanger
3. Straight and plate
one more strike
they should make the Mets bullpen have sex with that fat Philly fan after the game
Come on, Smith. One more strike here.
i annot beieve our most trusten pitcher in the bullpen is ayala
i can
I hate that SOB Rollins.
Would like to see someone plant a fastball right in the ribs…
the face not ribs
That’ll work too!
i almost died watching tv
WOW all i can say is WOOOOOOWW
omg…my heart hurts….
This is brutal to watch on the internet…. This is the same old song and dance… Absolutely disgusting..
love those phillies fans thinking it was a homer
Oh My God………..
Did my heart start beating again?????
Everyone check your shorts.
LOL
the gary cohen jynx was 5 ft away from being again
burell just hit wtp on an outside slider wow
my goodness…
o god i can’t breath!
Whew !!!
WOW that was WAY TOO CLOSE
Well, the 9th is Howard, Victorino, and Werth. Might as well be Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, and Mickey Mantle.
GOOOOOOOOOO JOE!!!!!!!!!
All I want for xmas this year is two insurance runs.
Please dammit.
i never been so nervous in my life…
Somebody call EMS……I need an defribulation after that.
And then send them over here please.
Holy Mother of God……
*a defribulation
Btw, anyone else think Show should start the ninth?
i do
I am fine with Ayala coming in to start the ninth–but I sure as hell would’ve preferred Show in the spot that Feliciano came in. Does somebody need to tell Manuel that Feliciano has been struggling?
I’ll be right back, I have to go change my boxers. I think I just had an accident.
can we get some dam runs please!
not to Mr. Carlos Beltran:
You said, “To Jimmy Rollins: We are the team to beat.”
Now back it up!
I love our announcers, Gary Cohen included, but if that ball hit by Burrell had gone out, I would have had to kill Gary for making the comment that Burrell had struggled getting two-out RBIs for three months only seconds earlier! :D
You beat me to the punch. I CAN’T STAND how Cohen always has to slip those comments in right before things blow up. He is a jinx. Keep your mouth SHUT Gary!!!!!
they showed a stat that the phillies have about an 85% success rate stealing bases, its crazy
I’ve spent the last 2 minutes trying to come up with a clever way to say I just had a heart attack, but instead I’ll just say…whew
I just seriously dislike feliciano…he has become completely useless…those numbers vs. the first batter he faces were ridiculous.
Please get Pedro Feliciano off this team TOMORROW!!!! If Heilman comes in for the 9th I’m going to hang myself. Thanks God Wagner isn;t around to close this one out.
Can we please score an insurance run, or two, or three in the 9th?
There’s one..
Didn’t mean to reply to that.
i think Show should come in to start the 9th vs howard and victorino
how about scoring another run, is that freaking possible?
not if they change the innings to 1 through 3
exit smith enter ayala
Hit it to 3rd base!
At least try and work the count!!!!
Even if we lose this it’s not the end of the world. The Mets have bounced back from numerous bad losses this season. And we got Johan going tomorrow. The final series at shea will decide much more.
This one would be nice, you know, leading the game 7-0 and all.
If you’re going to talk about a Mets loss during a game they are winning, get off this board.
Thanks Willie, but I’d actually really prefer winning up 7-0 against your division rival
Batzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
beltran and wright are clutchless
cant be thinking that ayala is an automatic.
Face it, this offense is a joke, it’s all up to Ayala. He’s still pure. He’s truly our only hope out of all this patheticness
I don’t like Ayala vs. Howard. Bring in Show to start it out.
On paper, you’re right, but Schoe is a loser and at least we’ve seen Ayala get big outs
Yea, but as much as I like Ayala I’m not ready to say he is back where he was a couple of years ago. Go with the lefty, nobody can kill Manuel is Show gives up the HR but it Ayala gives it up I think you leave yourself open to a lot of second guessing.
bad at bat
Church should go to the plate wearing an Albert Pulhos mask.
That at bat by Delgado was a throwback from April and May.
Beltran groundout, Delgado wild swinging K.
Shocker!!!
the philly bullpen has held the mets to 1 run in 6 innings, none in the last 5…unreal
WTF happened to tha friggin’ bats ?????? somebody got voodoo dolls of our team.
what the hell does he write in that notebook of his, nothing useful obviously
I might have considered bringing in Endy to drop a bunt.
Can anybody on this team work a count after the 7th inning? Two more atrocious ABs.
If only the Mets had Brad Lidge
I’m not watching the game out here in Cali. but i’m getting nervous by just reading these blogs… Im freaking out here….
you might be lucky not having to watch
It’s 7 to 6 mets, bottom of the 9th with Ryan Howard leading off.
Well here we go. Can Ayala get 3 lousy outs here?
GREAT JOB METS!!!! could they have made that any easier, seriously?
has lidge given up a run all year?
Not too many, mostly in non-save opps.
this should be interesting
if ayala goes 1-2-3 in the 9th i will have huge confidence in him
Agreed
Braves mounting a late comeback, down 9-8 in the 9th. All three fans at the game are ecstatic!
cmon they made lidge look like friggin’ dennis eckersely. swingin at stoooopid sh it.
i can’t watch
Wow…the mets look dead now. Scared. Thank god Ayala is new…or else I would say this game is lost. Then again….He is due for a bad outing.
Hang on guys….this is going to be a ride!
Everyone fasten your seatbelts.
Here’s where Ayala shows us what he’s really got!!
Most important save of the season right here. Without question.
And you know what? I am GLAD Wagner is injured.
+1
I wish Albert Pujols had hit that ball just a little further in ‘05, I think that would have destroyed Lidge forever. Oh well…
I really don’t like Jason Werth up late in the game.
Victorino in front of him isn’t good either.
nervous…
way to add on runs!! jeezzz
I hate Lidge or secretly want him to be a Met, I haven’t decided yet.
if he wound up on the mets next year you just know he would revert to “psychological problems” lidge…
he’d suck as a Met
Batzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
why can’t we score run towards the end of the games?… I swear to God, this is Ground Hogs Day…. Its like every other game at the end of last year… I’m getting sick watching Yahoo game channel. i feel like tossing my computer right now…. We’d better hang on or this Mets fan may throw a hissy fit…..
anyone surprised if victorino doesnt get on?
If Ayala pulls off this save, which he won’t, I want him as closer Wagner or no Wagner
that was quick
its hilarious that the pen is so bad that ayala is already the closer
so true
nasty pitch
Scary pitch right there..
i just realized that we have to stop blaming the bullpen…if everyone hit and scored a few runs late in games the bullpen would have a little bit more to work with
i can’t take it….i’m going to watch Hillary’s speech with my wife…much rather suffer through that than the Mets bullpen.
No walks. No walks. No walks.
guys help me out, can’t watch let me know what’s going on
howard hit a bomb to the wall in center caught by beltran …1 out bot 9 up 1
Howard flied out to the wall in center. 1 out.
haha jesus
holy crap
HOLY F(#!$*#$ SH$#@*$#@($@
jesus, I can’t take this, I really can’t
omfg….living so dangerously
Whew !!!
My heart cannot take this.
Wow, CBP is just big enough for that one.
i thought it was gone
only the mets would give up that shot.
doesnt matter just a long out folks
speaking of hear attacks last inning, this was worse
Great, now this rat bastard is up
Kalas sounded like his heart was ripped out.
one long out
where the hell was that!?!
Can a met reliever ever get ahead of a hitter? Is that asking too much?
Thank you!
can we please get some ground balls? My heart can’t take another fly ball to the track
two out
that’s TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
1 more….
2 DOWN 1 TO GOOOO
Ground out to short. 2 outs.
I have horrible gas right now, just thought you’d all like to know
pissin my pants right now.
breathe in, breathe out
werth killer
TWO DOWN!!!! Come on Luis!!!
i refuse to believe Ayala is going to pull this off, it goes against every one of my Mets instincts
figures
its never easy
damnit…ok…lets do this. Just Bruntlett
sh*# single…..DONT LET HIM STEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!
werth single
he is going to run
can’t let jimbo come to the plate here
Ayala will save it right now.
this scrub has Mets heartbreaker written all over him
holy cow one more out… PLEASE GOD!!!!
you know this is coming down to Rollins, you just know it
lucky on that strike
omg
…
OMFG. SCHNEIDER WTF

WTF SCHNEIDER HE WAS OUT BY A MILE IF U CAN ONLY CATCH THE DAM BALL
He was brought in for his exceptional defensive abilities. :)
This team is absolutely torture. Being a fan of this team is like being waterboarded on a nightly basis.
come on SCHNIEDER
Eric FUKIN BRUNTLETT
why even stay up
No it’s not unbelievable, it’s VERY believable. Ok Ruiz, hit your single and end the fcking game
I know how that Mets fan they just showed on SNY feels.
I just scared the crap out of my dog with my reaction to that one.
of course
BOOOOOO—-YAAAAHHHHH!!!!
MUTTS CHOKERS
You are really obsessed with the Mets dude. Just can’t get the mets out of your head can ya? It’s okay, it’s understandable.
He lives to torture other fans. There are some at every board. It’s best to ignore them.
Well, no way the Mets are winning this game.
damnit…make a freaking play. Both Easley and Schneider
oh my God…im gonna slit my wrists..
thank god for reyes
who cares
Omar: “well, the reason we got Brian Schneider is his all-star defense.”
Stupid play to try and throw him out. Now the winning run is at second.
Nice play, Reyes.
But will it really matter??????
jose nice …………….rifle arm gets em’…….FCUK tho……..
that game was over
reyes= MVP
say what you want i dont care anymore
who cares, the mets will lose this game anyway, not once have they proved us wrong
it’ll take at least 5 innings for this team to score another run
why does it seem like we never throw guys out at the plate? Remember the Astros game a few weeks ago?
why does God hate the Mets, seriously?
Hi I’m David Wright of the New York Mets. Come to Citi Field and watch me hit into a double play at a crucial point in the game.
well i will say it now, Ayala welcome to the pen
Ayala broke his cherry
Schneider has got to make that play.
Congrats to Eric Bruntlett for being crappy back-up number 100 to get a big hit off the mets bullpen this year
well, the great thing is that this team’s offense is so great in the late innings….
Great…who’s left in the pen?
How many blown saves now?
How many bases loaded situations that come up empty?
Can we win this thing in extra innings?
SH*T!
UN……FREAKING…..BELIEVABLE!!!!
P.S.: THANK U REYES
NOW EXCUSE ME WHILE I GO VOMIT FOR THE 4TH STRAIGHT TIME…….
Unbelievable. Ayala. He looked good and lets a punk like Bruham a hit. then Scheider can’t catch the ball. WTF
Why couldnt reyes just let that go and let me go to sleep. This f’ing bullpen is crazy. crazy!
come on Mets, why don’t you get the bases loaded so you can blow that too
wake the f-ck up mets!
Uh, no….Rollins = MVP
Reyes = Whiner
Mutts fans are a joke
you are the most idiotic philly fan i’ve ever seen on here, thats sayin something
Phillies can have their MVP’s. How many post season games did they win in the last 3 years?
Rollins has 2 big games, and you think he should be MVP? Reyes has been owning him the whole season you f*ggot. So get lost.
seasons not over yet buddy.
the bullpen isn’t losing this, the mets lack of hitting is
Atleast Lidge is gone.
THIS TEAM BLOWS. THEY ARE THE BIGGEST CHOKERS EVER. THIS BULLPEN SUCKS. THIS TEAM DOESNT KNOW HOW TO GET A HIT WITH THE BASES LOADED. I CANT DEAL WITH IT ANYMORE.
Maybe the Concussion King can get it going.
this team brings up your hopes and then ripps your heart out
two out an no one on and they score
great aaron heilman is in the bullpen
okay, here we go, 1-2-3 and done
perfect heilman in the 10th
all right, the shock is over now score 4 runs.
at 7-0, this is what i imagined
The Mets are pathetic.
I feel like the Mets are that guy who ejaculates prematurely and then rolls over and falls asleep.
Did anybody here really think that this pen could get 12 outs against this team? Unlike the Mets, they never give up.
It’s not giving up. They have a bullpen. We don’t. That’s it.
I disagree a bit. When do the Mets ever score after the 4th or 5th innings? Check the numbers. They always phone it in after 5. And, the bullpen sucks. That goes without saying
Just prolonging the torture
honestly, as great as this team has played lately, can you picture it coming back from a 7-0 deficit….? Philly does this on a weekly basis. Unreal.
Wright has looked Arod tonight with his brutal work with RISP…he needs to redeem himself soon.
god…schneider has not been the defensive presence he was in Montreal.
and we got Brian for his defense right….lol
he’s done great….but when it matters the most??
here comes another 1-2-3 inning, game over in the bottom of the 10th
I DEMAND for anyone here to tell me why this game isn’t the perfect microcosim of the fact that the Phils = TOUGH and the Metts (f**k it, MUTTS) = SOFT
7 run lead, down the sh*tter. The game was over all teh catcher has to do is CATCH a f**king relay.
Go ahead everyone….tell me why this isn’t PROOF the Phils aren’t tougher than the choking MUTTS
Then why do the Mets own the Phils this year?
When the games get close, when the games get meaningful, Philly steps up.
Just like last year.
The Mets had a great record against the Phils before the Phils ran off 8 in a row
All the games have been close against Philly but the Mets have still owned them.
Not when the games are very meaningful like this one
umm…wouldn’t they all be meaningful since we’ve been neck and neck.
Dude, the tool is right, they are
angryfan = angryphilliefan, I will say it on every post where he makes no sense.
F**k you. You refuse to admit these scuMets are chokers?
I will admit theres no crying in baseball. So stop whining and stop crying, and just watch the game.
You DEMAND ???
When they lose this game it falls on one person DAVID WRIGHT
yeah
Wright and Feliciano should get the crap kicked out of them tonight.
Right, not on Pedro Feliciano. He was solid in relief tonight.
hate to say it but i agree. that last at-bat was absolutely horrid and completely brainless. he needs to be smarter in those situations, patient, etc. to roll over like that and hit intoa double-play is absolutely horrible.
david wright is alex rodriguez minus the gaudy numbers
here comes the dp
Double penetration?
that’s already happened with this team
Btw Easley deserves some blame for a bad throw, but he’s been awesome at the plate so he earned a little bit of slack
true, but the bad throw was a tad costly
this fckin blows
Heilman will pitch 1 or 2 scoreless innings. We will not score and he will give up a solo homer in his 3rd inning.
i’d rather have a great bullpen and shaky starting pitching than the other way around
you mean rather 06 than 08
bullpen is so key nowadays especilly since pitchers r pussys and cant throw 140 pitches
Actually, can someone tell me why Sanchez was allowed to pitch in this game?
Manuel shouldn’t get a contract off that move alone
Sanchez was fine. Maybe leave him in for more than two batters he might have gotten out of the inning. Instead Feliciano comes in and does what he does best, give up runs.
Cause that’s who Omar gave him. For all of Willie’s faults, and there are many, the bullpen sucks and Omar never did anything to fix it.
Geez…finally get a baserunner, with 1 out, and Manuel sends Argenis Reyes up to pinch-hit? Just because I prefer him and Easley platooning over Luis, doesnt mean he should be pinch-hitting!
I am switching over to the DNC. It’s actually less scripted than the 2008 Mets.
shocker
called it, night boys
OH WHAT A FCKING SURPRISE, DOUBLE PLAY!!!!
y do u met fans still like this reyes guy, HE SUCKS. y wasnt castillo used
WHAT IS WITH THESE DOUBLE PLAYS??????
EVERY FKCIN TIME!!!
This offense SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s over right now. We’re done.
How many outs does Heildonk get before he loses the game?
1
outs or pitches?
guess I should have picked 0.
Unf’ing believable
HOW MANY MOTHERF*UCKING DOUBLE PLAYS HAVE WE GROUNDED INTO. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
5
by the way do the phillies ever ground into inning ending dps in key situations. Seems like we do it two to three times a night
Could we maybe start a runner??? You know, maybe get something going? The way this team hits they should be running on every pitch.
Another DP. Nice.
This game literally has me laughing out loud. For the second straight year, maybe we can hope to win the division because the Phillies can;t beat everyone ELSE when it counts.
Top of the order coming up. Mets have a better chance of seeing bigfoot than the 11th inning.
C
H
OKERS
you are right…eff this bullpen and double plays
Dear AngryFan,
You’re very stupid. But I love you.
XOXO,
Kevinz
Nice. Three GIDP’s tonight on top of everything else!
hate to say it but that might be all she wrote if they lose this game
bullpen – please buy a gun and use it on yourself
I’ve never seen an offense just roll over and die like this one does.
Did you not watch September 2007?
This offense is worse than last years. Look at the numbers, this is the most unclutch offense in baseball.
I despise this team. I’m not sure which one I’m talking about. I guess both.
And I swear to god, if my Philly fan college roomate calls me one more time I’m going to throw my phone through the window.
How DARE you question Argenis’ winning attitude? Despicable! You should be ashamed!
Yeah!! It’s Heilman Time!!!!
Philly fans LOVE him!
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERE’S HEILMAN!
support group for depressed Met fans?? I’m gonna need a sponsor.
how do u lose after leading 7-0?????
only the Mets i guess
1. Stop hitting
2. Stop scoring
3. Have a bullpen with Pedro Feliciano in it..
4. Have David Wright come up with the bases loaded and no one out and ground into a DP, twice.
Here comes Heillman gameover!
Do we hit into like 3 DP’s a game or does it just seem like that? Unreal… LOL.. i just have to laugh…
this season is just about over, I could give two shts about the standings or how close we are
I will not give this organization another dollar of my money until that idiot is thrown out as GM. To think that he could make the playoffs with this bullpen is just absolutely laughable
Mets are softer than the Pope’s weiner
there’s so many jokes here, but I don’t want to go to hell and/or be crucified by good catholics
Batzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Don’t worry…Mr. Un-Clutch Jimmy Rollins is up this inning. The man never comes through in the clutch, especially vs. the Mets…
Tomorrow is a MUST WIN. No more of this “well, this race will go back and forth” nuance. Last season ended last August when the Mets were swpt by the Phils. The Phils were officially in the Mets head after that series and they never left.
heilman throwing a solid 88 mph
Can we please trade Brian Schneider in the offseason for a reliever who can throw a strike? I seriously would rather Cancel and Castro platoon than him. At least their defense isn’t grossly overrated.
This game is NOT the bullpen’s fault. The goat of this game is David Wright and the offense, that has done NOTHING for what 5 innings now.
They had a 7-run lead. I think some of it is on the pitching staff.
It should of been 9-0, 10-0, 11-0, in the first, how about some tack on runs, oh that’s right the Mets don’t believe in them. This game is on David Wright, bullpen should have had more of a cushion to work with.
Yes it is.
You can’t lose a 7-0 lead. period
How does David Wright and the offense take no blame here. Ever heard of tack on runs, the mets offense have never heard of them either.
it’ll be heilman facing the heart of the order
this is great!!@@###@$!$TER#E$WR$TI#)$ERDGHWTUKHRQEGIQRHQOP$#TU)$I#%O@#)*”%$@$#)!@#$^(#^%(#!$%$@^
Thanks heilman.
and so it ends
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Heilman is torture. The guy is freakin’ torture.

Can god bless us by striking heilman down now please
Give credit to Heilman. He’s getting it over with early for us.
Here comes the Hero of the day Heilman to absolutely rip our hearts out after getting a 7-0 lead…. Comical… Predictable… Mets are just the Mets….. Nothing different, all the same BS.
Seriously…Schneider is starting to annoy the hell outta me
well at least i have rollins on my fantasy team
not a bad idea, just peg rollins
WHEN THE GAMES ARE MEANINGFUL, THE METS C H O K E, C H O K E, C H O K E AWAY
God I despise them
You think the Mets are chokers, we get it.
No.
The Mets ARE chokers.
There’s a difference.
This isn’t opinion, it is stone fact
A ‘fact’ you’ve stated about 900 times in the past hour. Again, we get it. You’ve made your point.
Dear AngryFan,
You’re stupid. But I love you.
XOXO,
Kevinz
So far this year the Mets have blown a 9-run lead and now a 7-run lead to the Phils.
here comes Rollins, game over.
And a 7 game lead last season!
Hit Rollins in the hands
I don’t care who they use as replacements, but this needs to be the last game of the season for Pedro Feliciano, Joe Smith, and Aaron Heilman.
What did Joe Smith do tonight?
and Sheonweis
+1
I’ll give Smith a little more time.
Joe’s done a decent job, but the other guys gotta go for sure.
You forgot Sanchez my friend…. Do not leave him out….
it could be worse though guys we could be the yankees
Perhaps it’s just me but the Mets are my team. If the Mets win and the Yankees lose that’s icing on the cake. But if the Mets lose it doesn’t make me feel any better that the Yankees lost too.
Look at the face. He knows he’s going to lose
WHY would he NOT tag up??
Is Endy Hurt? Where is he?
bad at bat by rollins
Castro getting injured seems to be the biggest blow so far.
Heilman is so bad… and Sanchez, and yet we throw these bums out there night after night…. Its hysterical…..I swear to God.. I don’t know why i waste my time….
At least we finally retired Jimmy Rollins (who took advantage of crap pitching tonight).
Here’s what I dont get? Why INT walk Utley instead of drilling him in the ribs?
seriously? you are asking that?
Remember oh who was it..that threw behind Clemens??? thats why, you might miss!
Shawn Estes
Heilman vs. Pat….
haha. the question is, does subjecting ourselves to this sort of mental torture day in and day out, year in and year out, does it make us better people?.
Do we function better in everyday life, or has rooting for the Mets reduced you to cyncial, suspicious shut ins?
Not sure for me…
lets see burrell in the clutch
this is such a torture……
Heilmans just hangggggggggggggin pitches
After the season when the Mets miss the playoffs, I want Omar’s a.ss outta here. He had a whole off-season to fix this fcking bullpen and he did jack sht
he got us Ayala
Can everyone chill out. Santana will go 8-9 innings tomorrow and we’ll split, making it all for nothing, relax people.
Unless he doesn’t…
Burrell 3-run jack? Par for the Heilman course…
Maybe we can get a DP????????????????????????????
Philly fans booing the IBB. They also booed on Smith’s first throw over to first, even though Durbin threw over about 8 times in a row with Reyes on first.
to be fair, Mets fans would do the same. Pretty much all fans boo pickoff throws by the opposing team (and sometimes the home team)
I know, just thought it was funny after Durbin threw over 8 straight times and then one throw by Smith gets a cacophony of boos.
Eat it Pat
that’s it, I’ve turned the game off. Hopefully there will be some kind of miracle, but I doubt it. Good luck to Santana tomorrow.
Can we all agree that golden boy Wright is soft??
Of his 100RBI, maybe 10 are clutch
He does have some A Rod tendencies
can we all agree that all you do is put down OUR favorite team, so stop waiting for games that they lose (since ALL teams lose once in a while) to make your comments demeaning this team. Thanks Buddy.
help….
Ryan Howard v. HR Heilman.
Anybody like this matchup?
At least we didn’t get beat but Rollins or Burrell.
heilman has to bring me back a kittle
Just let this caveman get his freaking 3 run homer and end it
Here is Heilman the tease…gets two outs, K’s Burrell, we all feel relaxed for the moment, and then………..
the third out
Santana needs to pitch a complete game tomorrow dominating performance oh yeah and WIN!!!
That Mets fan they just showed is awesome. God bless his little heart.
wow.. what a play by delgado
Whew. I really can’t take much more.
omg what the hell just happened
omg…I thought it got by him.
wow scorched
We make it to the 11th…………………………….!!!!!!!!!!
Delgado Del-got-it!
thank you Carlos and no not you Beltran
Del-gold-glove-go
If I keep yelling and screaming my wife is gonna file for divorce
All hyperbole and dramatics aside, I literally just threw up a little in my mouth.
carlos !!!!!! what a snag. top of tha order coming up ….let’s flip da script on deze cats now. jose set it off n get on base baby….steal 2nd and the rest is water under tha bridge……..
Wish the Phils would just end this. I don’t see the Mets scoring again tonight.
Top of the order….dwright redemption???
Ok, this is our best chance to win it.
i know we got lucky to get out of that, but guess who is pitching the 11th
how did Heilmann not blow it in that inning?
OK…they need to score in the top of the 11th. Victorino leads off the bottom of the 11th, and that is *never* good.
ughhhhh
i have absolutely not one drop of confidence in this offense
here we go 1-2-3 done
Reyes better swing for the fences, no one else on this team will do anything
Maybe our figin offense can do something.
Maybe Wright will stop doing his A-Rod choak job.
ok so much for that…..
easley needs to hit a double for a cycle
i leave the room, come back and reyes is out.
what is goin on? yahoo seems stuck
dont worry game over three innings ago and we lost
nice of the Mets lineup to kindly step aside so the Phillies proceed to entertain their fans with a nice comeback victory
GOOD AB REYES. ONE PITCH????? SIT DOWN.
we screwed again
1) Pedro = FAILURE tonight. This was his biggest start as a Met. Thanks for nothing Petey.
2) Wright = Soft, overrated. I’m so sick of seeing him toss his bat in frustration when he blows it in a clutch spot
3) Mets offense= ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz in late situations. Losers.
4) Bullpen= *PUKE*
Overall, quite the bunch of chokers.
See how quickly they’re out this inning? Sign of losers
Well, thats a quick 2 outs!
4 pitches, 2 outs
these guys make it soooo easy on the phillies.
feliciano and sanchez just have to go… they’re costing us too many games
Funny thing is that all the talk will be about the Mets blowing a 7 run lead. It will never be mentioned how you come in in your own park and get down 7 to start with.
Look the Phillies and the Mets are both good but not great teams in the middle of a race. This one is at Philly and it’s tied after 10. What’s the big deal?
Are you f**king kidding me
It doesn’t matter HOW they are won and lost, as Jerry has proved, if they lose I would bet they bounce back tomorrow, since you know, I’m a MET FAN and all. So why don’t you relax, since your boy Jimmy’s batting like .250 on the year and all. MVP who?
what the heck was that?
only now do i realize how important billy wagner really is!
why, he blew a save against the Phils with two outs too. They’re all losers
who is at bat? yahoo blows..
Here come A-Rod junior
david should get an oscar for that
i blame this game more on the offense and bullpen then petey. 7 runs should be good enough to win, but the mets left 47 guys on the basepaths. And the bullpen…well, the bullpen is the bullpen. Bad as always.
STFD jerry. u look like santa claus w a shorter haircut…
wagner probably blows this game too
he’s not much different from rest of these bullpen jerks
funny
typically Wright getting a base hit with no one on base
Philly fans booing that call. ball was 2 feet off the plate.
HA!
Mr Unclutch can’t do ANYTHING.
What a d**che
oh gee..
that was the stupidest play of wright’s career
i love david, but you mean besides the 19 times he’s been doubled off a base…?
Why? Because the guy up next (Beltran) would have done something?
And that’s why the Phils are winning the division, because they make the plays that winning teams need to make late in games. Could’ve used that hit a little earlier golden boy
Jesus, David, if you’re going to try for 2nd, you gotta RUN. David was loafing it around first, not running hard at all, with those stiupid arms waving around the side of his body.
before everyone freaks out, that was the right move by wright
yes – but he’s gotta run harder than that, he was not running hard into first so he had to put it into overdrive going into 2nd and David’s overdrive is a lot slower than a Reyes or Rollins.
u have gots to be fckin kiddin’ me ……..!!!!!! this guy is really turning into AROD before our very eyes. arod does tha same bonehead plays running bases. u can’t make this stuff up !!!!
Big deal, they wouldn’t have scored him either way!
Did anyone tell Davey that they need baserunners? Terrible decision.
First he grounds into a double play with runners on 1B and 2B and 1 out, to kill a rally, and now he gets thrown out at 2B in the freaking 11th inning?!?! Is Wright doing his impersonation of AROD, or something?!?!
How many more stupid things are we going to do?
Just let the first guy hit it out and put us out of our missery!
absolutely idiotic
werth didnt even throw the ball hard, he just lobbed it to rollins to get wright, horrible baserunning
This stadium is absolutly terrible
That was actually not a bad play by Wright with 2 outs on the road in extra innings. Gotta try to get into scoring position. His pop-up with runners on first and second earlier in the game though was the turning point of the game.
I thought Delgado’s based loaded DP was.
It took a perfect play to get him, I don’t mind agressive mistakes.
He was out by a mile. Werth barely put anything on that throw. Aggressive mistakes are okay in the 5th inning, not when you have blown a 7-run lead and need baserunners.
I’m astounded by how completely uncool Shane Victorino looks.
hah, finally something to make me smile
wright for MVP
Keith, seriously, stfu
we’re trying to get 2 innings out of Heilman?
God help us.
Not a whole lot of options left.
Only been 7 innings since the Mets have scored a run.
I smell a walk-off
The golden boy face of the Mutts franchise comes through once again……….NOT!!!!!!!!!!!
Not? Who says that anymore?
Borat.
who else is in the bp?
It was a smart play by Wright – if Wright is running hard all the way. He wasn’t. He was running like it was a single and then saw an opportunity but he had to booking it hard out of the box to even have a slight chance.
All i can say is thank god for Ambien.
(sniff sniff)…..I smell burning mutts……
That must be your upper lip
Dude…you’re just a d!ck.
I smell a closet Met fan. Keep up the obsession kid. We know the Mets are always in your head.
Why is HE a closet Mets fan but I’m tagged as a Philly fan??!?
dude, you do realize that if that bunch of a-holes you root for lose tomorrow, they are right back where they started tonight right? the season is another month long, just incase you can’t read a calender
“calender”?? LOL….ok……I can read AND spell….unlike mutts fans apparently
and apparently you’re a janitor on Wall Street
you are pathetic man….
you obviously have a bit of a self esteem issue, you could have simply made your nickname “Philly fan in NYC” but you feel you are special to be on wall st.
congrats, you and tons of others who are likely more successful than you. Go ahead and correct a spelling mistake, I have no need to go onto another team’s blog on AUGUST 26TH and act like the season is over.
We know you will be happy if Philly wins, but you will cry yourself to sleep again tonight.
Dude, he’s just an obsessed, closet Met fan. Can’t stay away from a Mets board for 2 seconds.
AWFUL call
Mets are going to run out of pitchers, luckily, Heilman will probably make that a non-issue
haha why you dont think we’re gonna score in the 12th?
I am really starting to hate Worth almost as much as Rollins
Just like last year the Mutts peaked at the wrong time, AND just like last year, they’re falling apart at the RIGHT time again…….LMAO
Didn’t they melt down in Santana’s game last month? What happened the next 2 games?
They’ve won 11 of 13. Is that considered falling apart?
If the Mets happen to somehow win the game, feel free to stick around. You wouldn’t be one of those front-running Philly fans the Phillies players talk about would you?
Yeah….11 of 13 and only 1/2 game ahead….soon to be behind….alot of good that “streak” did the mutts…..lol
can you tell me what the lead the phillies held this year? and when?
then tell me where that lead went
What happened to the Phils 7.5 game lead?
since when did anybody say the seasons over?
How’d the Phillies do in the first round last year son?
hamels with a walk off, i will throw up
Maybe we can throw out somebody
What the hell is with this ump? Seriously?
Nice ASron.. Nice walk
Introducing Eric Bruntlett aka the next Stan Musial
very inconsistent in the late innings
We can’t get Eric F’N Bruntlett out?????????????
Are you kidding me??????????????
Getting beat by Hamels would represent a new low
gdp baby
Mets have Sho left in the pen. If it gets that far.
Yeah…why? Feliciano earned that outing with that performance against Houston?
How many doofy white dudes are on this team?
We don’t need Rollins up here.
Walking Hamels (or worse) should result in immediate demotion
Does Hamels try to look gay with that hair cut?
look?
if he didn’t have a hot wife, i’d say he WAS
the guy who played Mr. Brady was married too
Can somebody look in the lost and found and see if our offense is in there?
It left Philly already
heilman still throwing hangers
HERE COMES HEARTBREAK….
And Wright FAILS again
Arod Jr
are you kidding?
you and Philly Fan on Wallstreet are the same person right?
What sucks is that even if Heilman miraculously gets out of this and the Mets score, they’ll never close the game out
that play summed up wright’s night
there is your gold glover
Nice play Wright.
J Rol with the bases loaded = 2nd place.
Hope Johan can get us a split tomorrow.
Good night all
what keith hernandez gonna say. the mets may have blown a 7 run lead but positive signs of pedro tonight with his velocity
Can we get a list of scrubs who have gotten on base in front of Rollins tonight?
Bean Rollins!
JROLL GONNA APPLY THE DEATHBLOW MORTAL KOMBAT STYLE
proof of what your fanhood is…loser, go back to a phillies blog
wrong again
So you’re reduced to saying “told you so” AFTER THEY BLEW A 7 RUN LEAD?????
Stop now dude
and you’re reduced to only showing up during losses?
i’m feeling something very ugly right now, I hope im wrong
glad i was wrong, i figured for sure rollins was going 6-7 with a Grand Slam there
One….more….strike
GOD PLEASE END THIS TORTURE ALREADY WE KNOW HOW THIS ENDS :(
you see, here is the difference..
a real met fan may hate the torture, but as much as they type on here that they don’t trust heilman or are mad at Wright…they hope and will watch every inning until the end, good or bad..
you..are a loser
I hate the torture…and yet…I love the torture.
“a real met fan may hate the torture, but as much as they type on here that they don’t trust heilman or are mad at Wright…they hope and will watch every inning until the end, good or bad..”
So by the definition, I’m a real mets fan.
THANKS!
HEILMAN FOR PRESIDENT!
Nice Heilman.
I honestly don’t know how much more I can take.
I love this game!!!
Finally! Sit down blow hole!!!
wow, Jimmy Rollins is so unclutch…
luckily we have crap left in the bp since we needed three pitchers to get out of the eighth
Over 1,200 comments…damn. Most I’ve seen in a single thread here…
Gameday is taking a crap here in extras, maybe it’s on my end, but it’s not making a tense game like this any easier to “watch”…
Yea Heilman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tatis won a game with a HR in the 12 inning earlier this season. I think he is going to get an at bat in the 12th again. Can he do it again?
its surprising they still havent used romero yet
until now.
This has got to be a new record for comments during a game.
Yup, they’re frontrunners, Rollins was right
Can’t ask for much more from our pen. Again the top story will be our blowing a 7 run lead and it will be made like it was our pen. Pedro blew the 7 run lead. For our pen to pitch 6 innings and only give up 2 runs in this joke of a park is astounding.
Maybe Beltran could earn some of his $$$$
Or at least back up what he said before the season
Nope. K’ing on a pitch in the dirt.
would a clutch home run by Beltran here completely disrupt the universe?
solid at bat by beltran
Gameday has some weird obsession with Bruntlett’s AB in the 11th…keeps flashing back to it…weird stuff…
There are few hitters who can lok as bad as Beltran sometimes.
this is an epic game. being on the road, unless the mets score, its only a matter of time because the phils have the last AB.
yankees red sox who?
why do the mets have such a disparity beginning in the game and late in the game? scoring early and bullpen late is a bad combo. its the strangest thing.
yeah, pretty much the absolute worst combo. But if they score some runs late, it helps to knock the opposing teams momentum down which could help the bullpen…..so maybe its all relative in some way or another.
Or not, Thats the Beltran I’m used to
Does anybody feel that if the Mets actually manage to score a run that they’ll still blow it anyway?
when was the last time the mets hit something hard
Yea it would.
do they use Questek in CBP? If not, the strike zone will be the size of a small zip code tomorrow.
If this game goes on much longer Heilman could be the starter in place of Maine… ;)
did Schoeneweis warm up so many times that he is no longer available? And why didnt he start the 9th?
gee, Omar think we might need a little more bullpen help?
I dont think he can get anyone in the next 5 minutes…
Well, the only real option outside of our organization would be Weathers but I’m not sure how much he’d cost.
quick- whats going through jerry’s mind right now?
pi = 3.14?
“Why did i take this job?”
…why didnt I use Schoeneweis in the 9th?
…how many times can I warm him up before his arm falls off?
… why did I waste Evans and Murphy in one very unimportant AB?
should I go on?
While I agree Show should have started the 9th, Ayala got the lefty out and was beat by a righty so its kind of moot.
agony, agony
Why not just let the Phils keep batting until they score? When they get three outs just start over. The top half of each inning is just a waste of time at this point.
Church looks like he’s had 5 concussions this week
What scares me even more is kunz is young but doesnt seem to be the future closer the mets think he might be.he throws hard but isnt exactly a young billy wagner either.
Can we get Nick Evans up!!!
no, he was announced as a pinch hitter earlier….hes done
He was annouced as a PH and then taken out for Murphy when Charlie Manuel coutered with a righty.
Again, when they lose this game, it is NOT the Bullpens fault, it is this god awful, unclutch offense, that has done NOTHING for 8 innings led by Mr. MVP David Wright, who hit not one but TWO KILLER double plays. Anyone who blames the pen for this loss is not too smart.
well, its partly the bullpens fault
You have to blame the pen somewhat, With 2 innings to go up by 2, you should win the game.
Have any of you people heard of freaking tack on runs. We scored 7 run in 4 innings and then did NOTHING the rest of the game. By the way, where is the blame for Pedro on here, last time I checked he gave up 5 of the 7 runs.
Exactly, everyone gets some blame here. Pen, Offense, Starter.
tough one for church, howard doesnt make that play 7 out of 10 times
those 7 times aren’t against the mets
This is one crazy game.
Both teams start the guy they want on the mound the most and runs are scored left and right.
Now both teams are pitching guys they didnt even want to warm up, much less see the mound, and neither team can score.
Go figure…
ok, Im going to sleep. This offense is just sad. I know the bullpen’s gonna take the blame if they lose this thing, but the fact is it was Pedro and the offense, which decided to just shut it down after the 4th inning.
Amen, finally someone who gets it.
in retrospect, Manuel should’ve let Stokes keep pitching, now Show and Sht is going to be forced to pitch
They couldnt let Stokes hit, he was batting leadoff in the 8th inning…
The mistake there was using both Evans and Murphy in that spot. They should have used Endy or A. Reyes there.
The other arguement you could make, but I dont think too many of us would agree, would be to use Heilman to pitch the 6th and 7th instead of Stokes, saving the long man for extras…
NEVER throw inside to Utley
the worst part is I keep thinking, well when is reyes coming up because he is the only guy I believe in the get a game winning hit
How does Brian Stokes–a starter/long-man–only stay in for 2 innings, yet Aaron “I choke by inning 3″ pitch 3 frames?
didn’t the pitchers spot in the order come up?
When was the last time we had a 1-2-3 inning? Feels like last week.
We have them when we bat.
Even armando benitez during the season blew people away in his good years with the mets.Cant we find someone else who throws at least 97 mph?
Last time I saw Heilman in his third inning of work, in an extra inning game he gave up the game winning HR to Albert Pujols……
Very scary…
Heilman is at 50 pitches. This game has to end soon or the Mets will be sending Endy Chavez to the mound.
this isnt heilman’s fault if he loses this
no – it’s Wright, manuel and Feliciano who get this one.
Agree.
heres a secret, at least 2 of heilman’s other losses aren’t hit fault (one that billy blew in the 9th before him, and another the mets couldn’t muster runs off the cardinals). there may be more, but don’t let the Heilman haters know that argument, their world will explode
why are these Mets/ Phillies games always so tense? I hate them
LETS GO METS!!
thers got to be some way to make a move for a better closer if we want to win now!
Weathers is the only real option.
Utley is so unclutch
LETS GO METS!! LETS GO METS!!
does anyone think show didnt want to hear the phone ring in the bp
haha, he could pretend he doesn’t hear it. btw, who comes in after we use Show…
Wright? lol
it’s a shame Heilman is pitching so great and the Mets lineup is just wasting it. If I was Jerry I’d trash the post game meal after this performance
can warthen pitch?
I can’t believe im saying this, but Heilman did show some guts today.
Heilman’s been huge, it’s the lineup who killed this game
In a game like this, how does Burrell go 0-7?
have reyes pitch, he has a cannon
heilman for mvp
can they just use a tee in the 13th?
Holy Strikeout, Heilman !!!!
We should all give Heilman some much deserved props.
Yes we should!
At least until tomorrow night.
I have regained a portion of my lost respect for Heilman tonight.
I think he’s earned a win. If only they could score some runs.
Manuel has an irrational hatred of Show. No way around it.
he needs a guy to close
Can this freaking GOD AWFUL offense score some freaking runs. Still the bullpens fault people? What more can you expect from Heilman.
mets bullpen 7 innings 2 runs….thats not bad for us….
how many bet the papers spin this as the bullpen blew another?
Dude – when those 2 runs are the 8th and 9th innings when you’re up by 2….They blew it.
THEY WERE UP BY 7 , this is a game where Stokes should have been able to go 4 for the save…be real man
Quick- BP 6 innings- 2 runs
Pedro 5 innings- 5 runs
doesnt look like bp fault
should add:
mets offense 12 innings- 7 runs
You summed it up best.
Still, you have a 1 run lead in the 9th gotta close it out. No excuses. Offense gets some blame, but Ayala has to close the games.
heilman is straight dealing tonite….
Holy crap – I thought that Lady in the Monopoly commercial was Paul McCartney
ME TOO
Wow, gotta give Aaron some credit, he pitched with guts tonight.
For all the justifiable crap we have given Heilman, those were 3 HUGE innings.
Give Aaron some credit. This was a heck of a performance.
in a losing effort
it was big time, way to step up!
Can we freakin score off Seanez at least?
where is Jorge Sosa when you need him?
where is tom gordon?
Game be damned, Heilman needs to be our starter for Maine. He has the stuff to be the #5 and after tonight he should be stretched out.
Rudy Saenez to look like Mariano Rivera in 3…2….1…..
Adding my kudos for Heilman.
No question. Overall, he has sucked royally. I wish he were consistent; he’s so not.
after show, santana? I hope not
At least not getting anyone else on base prevents them from hitting into anymore double plays
Ollie can probably go an inning tonight right?
I guess he would be next. No one else really
Santana is tomorrow, Pelfrey pitched yesterday, Pedro pitched today (just seems like yesterday) and there is no 5th starter…
is carlos ruiz playing third?
not anymore, he was but I’m pretty sure Bruntlett is there now.
Mets batters are 2-20 since 6th, that’s clutch.
For the Mets, it is.
I just don’t understand how an entire offense, with nine different personalities, can just shut off all at once
I love late games when you hear morons yelling “Chavez you bum.” Makes me chuckle.
Do you remember the Mike Cameron game in Montreal? Where Cameron actually made a bet with a fan in the stands during the game.
Neither Met pitchers nor Met hitters can seem to get ahead in the count. One of the reasons this game is tied.
Are we just waiting for some point in this game when the Phillies eventually beat us.
I think Reyes’ swing just answered that question.
I hate to admit it, but I think thats how I feel…
They cant win because they cant get anyone on base.
I’ve felt that way ever since it was 6-0. I even made a post to prove it. just look back through them.
reyes with two outs, great
This is the worse kind of loss, you kill your pen AND your team’s moral
Actually to me, the worst loss would be coming back from a 7-0 deficit with 2 outs in the 9th only to lose the game in the 14th.
The three bums who pitched the 8th inning werent extended, they can go tomorrow.
Santana coming off that career high 121 pitches, so who knows how deep he can go tomorrow.
Two bright spots…
If the Mets can get to Kendrick early tomorrow the Phillies have no one to go to. Mets could romp to a lead the pen cant give back…
This could hurt the Phillies pen for the next 3-4 days. Maybe they lose a few games they would have otherwise won.
OK Jose, be an MVP
Rudy Seanez? Ugh.
at least we have an off day after tomorrow
All i can say is….we had a 7-5 lead and the bullpen blew it!
Manuel blew it by taking out Stokes who was pitching lights out while we were up two. There was no good reason for Manuel to take him out.
Your kidding me right. What about Pedro with a 7-0 lead who gave up 5 runs and this god awful offense that has done CRAP since the 4th inning. You blaming Heilman too right.
plain and simple when you have a 7-5 lead your bullpen needs to close it out.Noone is blaming heilman.
well, Schoe and his constipation face can now put us all out of our miseries
kendrick in the 14th? if we get there
btw, anyone know the record for most posts in a single thread
9 innings and counting that this offense has done NOTHING. The offense gave up what 5 innings or so ago unlike Heilman, who showed more heart than the entire Mets offense. They really don’t deserve to win this game, good night.
we need two out of show
ots over
game over, Schoe is a fcking abortion. season over. good night
season over . . . come on now.. . .you need a hug?
ok..I think thats game. Hard to get out of this situation.
couldnt show do this in the 9th?
Yes..great…don’t guard the line.
man, its always shane victorino. its always shane victorino.
Gotta load the bases here.
THIS TEAM SUCKS!!!
brett meyers ftw
Schoeneweis not even putting up a fight… lovely
We’ll – we shall see if Bret Meyers can hit a baseball as well as he hits his wife.
comment of the night!
Fortunately the Phils have no more bench players.
triple play anyone?
why is show throwing balls its a fing pitcher not babe ruth
meyers is juiced
Myers should just take the K here and let the real hitters have an out to work with.
Isn’t this prohibited by the Geneva Convention?
omg
Show if you walk Myers…..
Blowing a 7-0 lead to your rival this late in the season is unacceptable! Despite that recent 10-9 game this summer and despite the fact that our pen can’t seem to get 6 outs, I never thought we’d be in this position with how the game started.
Sure this is a great game, but its really driving me crazy and I hope this doesn’t have an effect on the team’s psyche.
- I don’t understand how this offense seems to all shut down at once on a daily basis.
- This bullpen is constantly letting you down. For once it’s time to praise Heilman, but the other guys not being to protect lead in this big of a game is a JOKE.
You really didn’t expect this to happen? Have you watched a Mets/Phillies game this year?
Uhh yeah every one.
But you can’t tell me when Tatis hit that 3 run homer to make it 6-0, even though it was only the 3rd/4th inning, you were expecting to lose this game
Again Met pitchers starting of behind in the count. It’s a f*king pitcher!!!!
WOW
thank god…
3-2 to a guy not going to swing
well, what a way to lose
good night all
Good night, everyone!
currently SAME OL’ METS ……
at least i can go to bed knowing what the rest of 2008 holds for us
SCREW JERRY MANUEL FOR TAKING STOKES OUT OF THE GAME.
JERRY MANUEL SUCKS!!!!! HE IS A FREAKING MORON!!!
You’d rather have Stokes bat? Besides Stokes sucks.
I was at the game. Stoke was throwing great. He was reaching 96 mph and no one was hitting him. And Manuel, that jerk, took him out to put Sanchez and Feliciano????
Give me a freaking break. MANUEL IS A MORON.
I want to see Victorino, utley, and J-ro get nailed tomorro.
I called this back when it was 6-0. I should buy a lottery ticket.
did you see victorino’s face. what a smug a**wipe.
Ouch.
Good thing it’s just 1 game and we have a month left.
Mets may be the biggest choke team in ALL OF SPORTS….its not like they are a no talent team like the nats or pirates that just arent good…they continue to SUCK during big games and CHOKE like ive never seen
IM CALLING THE “INS”
ON THE METS!!! THIS TEAM IS GARBAGE!!!
I’m so mad about this loss. The 7-0 blown lead was bad enough but our offense really laid down. Win tomorrow and technically we’re back where we started, but this is getting out of hand.
If the Mets can get to Kendrick early tomorrow the Phillies have no one to go to. Mets could romp to a lead the pen cant give back… Say 17-2?
This could hurt the Phillies pen for the next 4-5 days. Maybe they lose a few games they would have otherwise won against other teams.
but not only is the phillie bullpen tired but the mets’ is equally as worn down
just come backand win tomorrow and this game doesnt matter
I respect the optomism, but after watching how the race unfolded last year, you can’t honestly mean that. EVERY SINGLE GAME COUNTS. Had they won just one more game last year, they would have been in a playoff…
How many games like this have the Mets blown this year? When you can’t even remember the number, you know it’s bad.
I want to hear DW explain his shoddy play in a big game, once again.
as soon as delgado hit the dp they were done.
Johan, BE OUR SAVIOR!!!
Unless he goes 8 ip, one run allowed, we are 1.5 games out.
And to everyone in Philly, go slit your phucking wrists.
the players bettter show emotion in their interviews
Fire sanchez, feliciano, and scho
Ayala and Schneider get some blame too.
Schneider looked like this was his first time catching a big league game.
I’m literally feeling sick. I honestly can’t believe this team. It is so storybook for the Phillies. I don’t even know what to say…
Your 2008 NY Mets: Same as it ever was
F This ……
Mets really love getting spanked by the Phils eh?
This team has no heart.. NONE
Phils kept handing them the game near the end the the Mets did NOTHING. This is our Championship team?????
What a joke……….
Maybe 2009 will have a real team, not a makeshift one riddled with injuries and guys who can only hit in the first 3 innings…
Sorry…. this is just way too infuriating and it does not look like it will get any better.
I just threw up in my mouth a little…then i just flat out threw up.
Chill out mets fans this loss hurts but u gotta look at the schedual, the next four games are against the cubs
who is the vocal leader on this team???? i swear we need a voice like derek bell used to be …someone outspoken who don’t take this sh it sittin down. this team HAS NOOOO BACKBONE!! does not represent NY well man. im sorry. we don’t deserve this. now lets see if beltran, wright, delgado, or reyes speaks out and gets annoyed about this loss. i swear the phillies could plunk beltran square in the back tomorrow and NO ONE on the bench would even get loud w/ the other team…except for maybe jose.
ok enuff of this crap. im goin to watch jimmy kimmel…….
ha derek bell????
this team has plenty of back bone. this team has no BULLPEN.
Look no further than the manager. Jerry Manuel sucks.
Finally, game over. Thank you for ending the misery Show…you absolutely SUCK by the way. Offense, nothing more to say, it’s been said all night. Heilmann, still sucks, and sucked tonight, just got lucky. The only good inning he had was the 3rd inning he pitched. Un freaking believable. 7 run lead blown. But not really surprised. It’s been happening all year. It doesn’t hurt that badly anymore. Kind of numb toward it. Hopefully the players are also, because if not, this will mess their psyches up.
if anyone thinks the mets wont be fine because of this game, i dont think you have been watching this season. they will split the series tomorrow. losing the lead stinks, but in this ballpark, a 7 run lead is not much.
its a major shame, but this team bounces back well.
what they need to focus on is why they cant tack on runs at the end of the game. it might be a mind set issue. those double plays were sickening. how delgado didnt think sac fly there, i dont know.
in that ballpark, unless you get HUGE starting pitching, the phillies think they can come back against the mets bullpen whenever they want. did you see how relaxed they are against the bullpen?
Take care of business tomorrow and leave town back in front. Sorry, but this loss in on the offense. I know we put up 7, but the Philly bullpen threw a CG shutout against us. Unacceptable.
in case you havent noticed, they have been doing that all season.
i hate that ballpark. i hate it more than anything. i mean, victorinos triple and wrights single, out at second says it all.
its uncomfortable to watch the mets play in a ballpark like that.
the guys on sny said it best. the phillies play like that because they know even cole hamels can hit it out.
man that game tying run hurt the most because he should have been out at the plate. what a great win that would have been if that were to happen, but alas.
The game’s story line: “The Phillies brought in Sandy Koufax to start the fifth inning and the Mets offense was not heard from again.”
Champion Caliber teams just don’t give up 7-run leads, they just don’t. I blame this loss on the offense more than I do on the BP. 9 freakin innings without scoring a run………..9 FREAKIN INNINGS! This happens all too often with this team and it’s a total mystery as to why they just simply fall asleep and cannot tack on runs late in ball games. There has to be some scientific explanation for this , I mean come on. And it doesn’t who the opposing pitcher is, it could be a High school kid and they still wouldn’t score late in ball games.
Scroll up this thread and you can read where I said when the Mets were up 7-0 that if they didn’t score at least three more runs and get to 10 runs, they would lose this game. It’s not that I have some magical talent to see into the future, It’s just that like everyone else on here, we know whats coming already. Simply and utterly AMAZING!
The last Mets-Phillies game I was at here in Philly, the Mets went up 10-2 and almost lost. The final score was 10-9. This team has no freaking heart and our manager sucks.
He should have never taken Stokes out. He was pitching lights out.
Stokes pitched great but you have to try to score more runs. Manuel has seen this movie before. While a game like this should never happen he has to deal with it on almost a nightly basis. Its a real catch 22 beacause if he left Stokes in he’d be called dumb because he gave up outs. If he pinch hits for Stokes, he’s an idiot because he took out a good pitcher.
The offense put up 7 runs. That should be good enough for any staff. It doesn’t matter if they score them in the first or one run for the last 7 innings. The point is they put up enough runs to win this game tonight. Pedro killed this game with the HR’s to Rollins and Howard. It’s the fault of the pitching they even had 9 innings not to score in. The bullpen really didn’t kill the game like the usually do for the Mets. They only gave up three runs in a long stretch of work. However, Santana has got to step up and win the game later today.
Every Phillies series this year has started with a terrible loss. This blog lights up about people saying the season is over and planning for next year. However, the Mets have shown an amazing ability to come back from the adversity after a tough loss to the Phillies and everyone will be back on here tomorrow night planning where they are going to sit for the World Series.
yup. what are you going to do? some metsblog readers feel more comfortable predicting demise than showing optimism and faith. its easier to bitch and moan and say the sky is falling. it allows people to feel better if it happens. i am not saying that they shouldnt do it, because being a fan can be really distressing, but what can we expect? rooting for the mets can be very difficult at times.
its a tough loss, but its also only one game.
i am more interested in the marlins series than i am for this series. i am hoping for a split tomorrow, and this loss will be moot. i expect johann to pitch a big game, deep.
does anyone have any theories why the mets cant score in the late innings? is it the bench? is it managerial moves? what do you think the issue is? is it added pressure to score?
I just looked out the window and screamed the sky has fallen. But then I realized it 1:21AM and breathed a sigh of relief.
I’m neither pessimistic nor optimistic about this team and have no expectations one way or the other. We all know the short comings but they are only .5 games out of first. So your guess is as good as mine.
Now why can’t they score runs late in a game? If I was a pessimist I would just say they suck. If I was an optimist I would attribute it to all the great bullpens they face and just tip my cap to the other team. But perhaps the frailty of their bullpen puts added pressure on them to score late.
You’re right MetfaninFL, if there is one thing this team has shown this season, its the ability to get themselves up off the mat after a tough loss, dust themselves off, and get back on track….and I expect the same tomorrow night…I’m still on the bus.
You’re absolutely right. It’s just ONE loss. Win tomorrow and every thing is dandy. What concerns me is how many times can this team jump out to a big lead and see it whither away into a loss? That has to take some kind of psychological toll on the player’s mind set, how can it not?
I just looked up Wright’s splits this year and found that innings 7-9 he is hitting .234, .351obp, .440slugging and .791 OPS. Innings 4-6 he is hitting .323, .593obp, .583slugging and .964 OPS.
Great game, the Mets played great. But the phillies played a little better. I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s game. Santana will have the Philly offense looking silly at the plate.
LETS GO METS!!!
Mets played like crap. They gave up a 7 run lead.
The Mets didn’t play like crap. They didn’t give the phillies anything. The phillies were playing good baseball.
I told my co-worket today that even if one team sweeps the other, it’s not the end of the word, too many games left to play. Sure you like to take the first game and better yet, sweep, but either way too many games left to make this series a do-or Die. Win to morrow and we are back in first by a .5 game and then the Phillies have to go to Chicago for 4.
If we just resign our selves to the fact that no team is going to run away with this thing and that it will be a dog fight to the finish, then these types of loses is all par for the course. Only thing that matters is who finishes in first place on the last day of the season (god forbid a one game playoff!! LOL ).
anyone else wish he was banned?
No, their usual TORRID start – their usual tepid finish.
Check a dictionary for the long words…
obviously not a Mets fan. Just go back to your Philly board.
