Gamenight: Phillies (14-11) At Mets (13-13)
Posted by Tim Malcolm, Thu, May 07, 2009 05:37 PM
Philadelphia Phillies (14-11) at New York Mets (13-13)
Jamie Moyer (3-1, 5.65 ERA) vs. Mike Pelfrey (3-0, 6.00 ERA)
Time: 7:10 p.m. at Citi Field, Queens
Weather: Cloudy, 64
TV: Comcast SportsNet, MLB Network
Twitter: Phillies Nation
Last night was a pitchers’ battle: Both Johan Santana and Chan Ho Park slung mastery at their oppositions, with Santana coming out victorious mainly because of some erroneous defense by the Phillies. Of course, a couple hits would’ve helped.
Tonight, however, it could be a different story. Jamie Moyer (who surrendered five earned runs against the Mets Saturday) will face Mike Pelfrey (who gave up three earned runs against the Phils Friday). Moyer’s been hit hard by Mets batters, and Saturday it was Daniel Murphy and Ramon Castro doing the damage, as they both homered off the wily left-hander. Pelfrey, meanwhile, was struck by Raul Ibanez for a two-run hit on Friday.
Moyer is gunning for his 250th career victory. Shane Victorino is looking to extend his hitting streak to 16 games.
Your gamenight beer: We need something heavy tonight, if only to curtail the crazy rains that never stop in the Philadelphia region. It’s Wee Heavy, a Scotch Ale from the Belhaven Brewery. This drink has flavors of raisins and yeast – it’s dark, strong and even tangy on the tongue. I’d enjoy a big old turkey and stuffing with this.
Go Phillies!

Go phitins!
May 7th, 2009 at 5:44 pm
Well, I can safely say that the Dipsy household will be crackling with anticipation at the prospect of Jamie’s 250th victory. I think Jamie’s gonna get smoked tonight. I hope I’m wrong but I just have that feeling. When does the Roy Oswalt watch start? Freakin’ Manny. Thats just too funny. Just goes to show..you sleep with dogs you get fleas. By the way, how bad is Chris Wheeler? They should switch Sarge and Wheels so we only have to hear that little nebish for two innings instead of 7…….eeesh.
The Dispy
May 7th, 2009 at 5:53 pm
go Phillies!!!
what do u mean with Roy Oswalt?
May 7th, 2009 at 5:54 pm
250 tonight. it will happen.
May 7th, 2009 at 5:58 pm
The Muts are a bad disfunctional team. They do not play a team effort, that is why they will not finish ahead of the Phils.
They stink
May 7th, 2009 at 6:05 pm
I like Wheels 1000x times more than Sarge..
May 7th, 2009 at 6:07 pm
Alright were in first place by a full game over the Marlins!!
The Muts are seeing Moyer twice in a week. I’m worried they won’t be fooled by his slop.
Go Phils!!
May 7th, 2009 at 6:09 pm
They weren’t fooled last week either. But I think our bats will wake up vs Pelfrey tonight
May 7th, 2009 at 6:11 pm
Park responded nicely after they just saw him… Im guessing Moyer can make adjustments just as Park can.
Our hitters are better hitters than Pelfrey is a pitcher..
Phillies win tonight 7-4
May 7th, 2009 at 6:20 pm
Don M goin on a limb – I would say the Phils score more than 8 tonight.
May 7th, 2009 at 6:21 pm
Don. Whells is the absolute WORST…EVER. Andy Musser was better than Wheels. At least the Sarge is funny. And you can take him seriously cuz he’s a former player.
The Dipsy
May 7th, 2009 at 6:23 pm
that belhaven stuff is really expensive. i been meaning to try some of the ale though. i’ll be enjoying some delicious dogfish head indian brown ale with the game tonight.
May 7th, 2009 at 6:39 pm
it’s bankers club vodka for me tonight!
May 7th, 2009 at 6:43 pm
Dipsy, I don’t know how long in term of years or how often or how closely you listen to the Phillies broadcast team. There is a reason for Wheels’ role as the color anaylst for all these years. He is widely regarded in broadcast circles and to his listeners as a very knowledgeable mind for all the aspects of the game. I personally enjoy listening to his explanation and anticipation of a particular game situation on the field. He is not the chatty type that diverts from the game itself. If you want that then Tom McCarthy or “Sarge” Mathews is your man.
May 7th, 2009 at 6:49 pm
gettin excited for a big game!!! but alas, i have hw to do so i will be relying on you guys for updates.
May 7th, 2009 at 6:51 pm
Lets do this Jamie!
May 7th, 2009 at 6:53 pm
Personally, I don’t mind wheels. Sarge is our own personal madden but with the game on mlb network, as much as I love our team, I’m kind of excited to hear Bob Costas. And as much as I love Tim’s beer selections, it’s PBR pounders for me.
May 7th, 2009 at 7:06 pm
http://www.chriswheelerglossary.com/
I find this amusing
May 7th, 2009 at 7:07 pm
so far no mutt fans… not bad!!
May 7th, 2009 at 7:10 pm
Just wait until Pelfrey throws his first strike.
May 7th, 2009 at 7:11 pm
that is hilarious Evan, lol.
May 7th, 2009 at 7:12 pm
Dips-”Andy Musser was better than Wheels”???? C’mon, that is SO not true.
May 7th, 2009 at 7:12 pm
yeah evan. that was awesome hah.
May 7th, 2009 at 7:17 pm
Lets go mets go
May 7th, 2009 at 7:18 pm
ooh yeah. way to be, big man
May 7th, 2009 at 7:18 pm

May 7th, 2009 at 7:28 pm

May 7th, 2009 at 7:34 pm

May 7th, 2009 at 7:34 pm
hoooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeee rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrruuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May 7th, 2009 at 7:34 pm
I want to lick myself all clean
May 7th, 2009 at 7:34 pm
Wow
May 7th, 2009 at 7:35 pm

May 7th, 2009 at 7:35 pm
I wouldnt go that far Mike, I mean I woulda loved to get lowe but we didnt and we arent going to. I’ll take getting out of this inning for now.
May 7th, 2009 at 7:36 pm
haha
May 7th, 2009 at 7:36 pm
david wright should not be hitting homers. he sucks. moyers is just aweful to watch.
May 7th, 2009 at 7:37 pm
Mets are going to win hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
May 7th, 2009 at 7:37 pm
I’m a die hard Met fan gal, but I just have to say this:
You Met fan trolls on this board – what the hell is wrong with you? Get off their blog and leave them alone, for crying out loud. You’re just giving us Met fans a bad name.
Obviously kids who need to grow up.
May 7th, 2009 at 7:38 pm
why are the Phille fans so quiet ahahhahahahahaha whaaaaa
May 7th, 2009 at 7:39 pm
Mets fans are so annoying
May 7th, 2009 at 7:39 pm
hey joey when did you last win a ring…huhhhhhh…..you choke artist…
May 7th, 2009 at 7:39 pm
2 two-run HR in the first inning….ugh!
May 7th, 2009 at 7:39 pm
ahhahaahahhahahaha I left OTB early to do this this is better than the horses
May 7th, 2009 at 7:40 pm
there has to be a way to keep these trolls from coming, like having to sign up and become a member of this site or something
May 7th, 2009 at 7:40 pm
so met’s fans … I’m honestly curious and not tryin to be a jerk so really, please answer me hahah why are there so many empty seats at citifield? prices, is it not cool? too hard to get tickets? what.
May 7th, 2009 at 7:41 pm
Hi I’m, I tawk like im from New Yawk and my Mets team, God I love them ALL DAY. I like to think im cool and pucker my lips in front of the mirror every morning cuz I’m the shit, yeah that’s right. My haiiiirrcut looks soo cool, and I like to use steroids ALLL DAY also, cuz I gotta be jacked and tan when I show off for all the ladies
May 7th, 2009 at 7:42 pm
Because we don’t care about the phillies hahaha.
May 7th, 2009 at 7:42 pm
that’s why they post on this blog–you don’t have to register. you do have to register on metsblog, which is why they don’t post there
May 7th, 2009 at 7:42 pm
umm no its kinda like u don’t care about ur own team lol
May 7th, 2009 at 7:43 pm
well people should have to register on here
May 7th, 2009 at 7:44 pm
Well, I don’t live close enough to attend too many games but…
I know those seats behind home plate and off the first/third base line are not cheap. Not Yankee like expensive, but expensive enough.
Plus the past two days, the weather being what it is probably has contributed to empty seats at the park.
May 7th, 2009 at 7:44 pm
mets making the playoffs is about as likely as oprah winfrey playing pro football
May 7th, 2009 at 7:44 pm
I never post during games.. but I just watched the replay in on my DVR..
The first three pitches to Sheffield should have been strikes.. at least “Ball 2″ and “Ball 3″ ..
Also.. Utley tagged Castillo on his knee before his foot hit the bag..
BUT.. that’s all part of baseball, and what makes it a great game, sometimes the calls go your way, and sometimes they don’t
May 7th, 2009 at 7:44 pm
looks like mets pitchers have a hard time getting phillies pitchers out
May 7th, 2009 at 7:45 pm
hay mike do you cling to your guns and your bibles
May 7th, 2009 at 7:45 pm
at least am not redneck with a southern accent
May 7th, 2009 at 7:46 pm
the presdent even knowns your a redneck
May 7th, 2009 at 7:46 pm
All My Life I been up on top. now i dont wanna stop.
Mets kill moyer/ he stinks.
matter of fact the phillies stink.
Period. Phils, hope u enjoyed your run. it is over now!
May 7th, 2009 at 7:46 pm
Keith: Registering doesn’t really help all that much. We get our fair share of trolls over on metsblog as well. We’ve got one closet Philly fan posting for the past month that is so annoying I think if anyone met up with him, he’d have a big problem….
Obviously, we haven’t seen him yet tonight b/c of the current score.
May 7th, 2009 at 7:46 pm
rember what he said people in PA cling to there guns
May 7th, 2009 at 7:47 pm
your sentor john murtha said your racist rednecks
May 7th, 2009 at 7:48 pm
I didn’t hear any of you Met scum when the Phils were up 1-0
May 7th, 2009 at 7:48 pm
little guy go hunting
May 7th, 2009 at 7:49 pm
hey tony … i dont really know any rednecks … of course except for Billy Wagner. How much is his not piching costing the mets?
May 7th, 2009 at 7:49 pm
he was
May 7th, 2009 at 7:49 pm
Tony. Spell check, bro. Please.
May 7th, 2009 at 7:49 pm
it’s just so stupid, people making these stupid comments lol they have no lives.
May 7th, 2009 at 7:49 pm
remeber wen we coudnt use gud werds cuz we cant spel a corect sentince
May 7th, 2009 at 7:49 pm
with acent any with a brain can figere that out redneck
May 7th, 2009 at 7:50 pm
Seriously Keith….seriously…
May 7th, 2009 at 7:50 pm
Hey our pitching sucks right now. We will win this division because the marlins and mets are baddd…mets will not finish in first. plus we won the big ring. mets will never win. they have been saying that since 86. so until you do SHUT YOUR MOUTH.
May 7th, 2009 at 7:50 pm
in the words of barrack obama people in PA cling to their guns and relgions
May 7th, 2009 at 7:51 pm
About 3/4 of all Mets fans who post on this blog cannot spell AT ALL. Please spell check before you post. I have nothing against the civilized Mets fans who can actually talk.
May 7th, 2009 at 7:51 pm
I remeber bein a mets fan n nut ben able to spel real gud. i wish I pasd furth grad
May 7th, 2009 at 7:52 pm
red necks
May 7th, 2009 at 7:52 pm
im disgusted in moyer’s performance 2nite. of course i guess that goes without saying.
May 7th, 2009 at 7:52 pm
hey tony, do you have anything else to say?
May 7th, 2009 at 7:52 pm
Ouch. Moyer sounds horrible tonight……game isn’t aired here…….
May 7th, 2009 at 7:53 pm
HAHAHAHA you still spelled religion wrong, even when you made a clear attempt and creating a coherent senetence.
HAHAHAHAH
May 7th, 2009 at 7:53 pm
Sorry guys. Not gettin the corners and I forgot to eat my Wheaties.
May 7th, 2009 at 7:54 pm
Matt, doesnt it seem ironic that you spelled “senetence” wrong trying to point other people’s spelling errors?
May 7th, 2009 at 7:55 pm
plz get him out of here!
May 7th, 2009 at 7:56 pm
Yes, I realize that after posting, but I was so overwhelmed with excitement at his futile attempt that I didn’t take the time to correct my errors. Apologies, not to Tony though.
May 7th, 2009 at 7:56 pm
Quick, someone give Moyer some IV Geritol…
May 7th, 2009 at 7:56 pm
I love the Mets, do you love the Mets?
May 7th, 2009 at 7:58 pm
I love World Series Trophies, do you love World Series Trophies?
May 7th, 2009 at 7:58 pm
Tim, Brian, Rob, Amanda.. and whoever else..
It’s a disgrace that you’re letting this random sh!t-talking take away from actual conversations on this blog.
If you don’t want to make people register for it.. at least have someone deleting posts that are purely intended to start, continue, or end arguments..
It’s not just “METS” fans either.. its all the rest of us going back and forth with them..
Having to read 500 different posts about how they smell like hoagies.. and how we’re RedNecks.. isn’t that cool… and it’s rapidly bring the quality of this site down
Thanks!
May 7th, 2009 at 7:58 pm
Yes, I love the Mets too, lets make love
May 7th, 2009 at 7:58 pm
I love teams that can actually play in September, do you love teams that can actually play in September?
May 7th, 2009 at 8:00 pm
Mets fans, in a very short period of time, are ruining this blog and making the experience of being here with all of you much less enjoyable.
May 7th, 2009 at 8:00 pm
I am gay for David Wright
May 7th, 2009 at 8:02 pm
Anyone else listening online (gameday audio)? LA and Scott are complaining about how bad their site line to home plate is at the state-of-the-art CitiField
May 7th, 2009 at 8:03 pm
RyK, You mean Shiti Field?
May 7th, 2009 at 8:04 pm
Is Happ warming up? Moyer is horrible tonight, get him outta there.
May 7th, 2009 at 8:04 pm
Ryk … yeha aparently they cant see anything when the beer guy comes around.
May 7th, 2009 at 8:04 pm
Manny, i hope your not taking womens fertlity pills are you?
May 7th, 2009 at 8:08 pm
So Happ just got up.
May 7th, 2009 at 8:08 pm
There’s absolutely no point leaving Moyer in. No only is he missing the strike zone badly, but the umpire is a hitters umpire… so there’s no chance for him at all. Bring Happ in NOW.
May 7th, 2009 at 8:10 pm
Anyone know Moyers contract situation? Is he signed for one or two years?
May 7th, 2009 at 8:10 pm
He’s signed thru 2010
May 7th, 2009 at 8:11 pm
Whatttt, no way
May 7th, 2009 at 8:11 pm
little guy… 2yrs with i believe 14mil guaranteed (not sure… will someone verify/correct) and up to 20mil based on incentives
May 7th, 2009 at 8:13 pm
two years 16 million. It’s getting to the point something has to be done with the starters. Happ has to get a chance to see if he can help . three more homruns given up. This team get a real number two and the division is theres, if Hamels comes back ,happ or blanton as your third and fourth might work.
May 7th, 2009 at 8:14 pm
Looks like he’ll just get his 14 M guaranteed…
May 7th, 2009 at 8:15 pm
So at the end of his contract he will be 48, what is he Phil Neikro? This is absurd. I thought it was a 1 year with a player option
May 7th, 2009 at 8:16 pm
See what happens when you leave him in a little too long? Now it’s 7-1…
Why not just take him out after the 1st inning? I’m really losing my patience with Moyer…
May 7th, 2009 at 8:16 pm
here is what i have been saying. manual sticks to long with a player. happ should of been in earlier
May 7th, 2009 at 8:17 pm
Yeah i know. Should of taken him out after the 2nd when it was 5-1, so maybe the offense still has a chance.
May 7th, 2009 at 8:17 pm
IS VERYYY GOOD
May 7th, 2009 at 8:17 pm
Wow this is awful
May 7th, 2009 at 8:19 pm
I said this in the spring training. the phillies should of counted there blessings last year with this staff. moyer, blanton, myers. when we won the big ring, they should of said ok thats the best moyer will ever give us. i would of shaken his hand and said goodbye. nope thats not what they did. this offense cant do it everynight.
May 7th, 2009 at 8:19 pm
Pelfrey can give up runs, especially with a tight strike zone that is being issued. But 7 runs in 3… That’s a lot to ask for both the offense and an already beat-up bullpen.
May 7th, 2009 at 8:20 pm
well who can we possibly trade for?
May 7th, 2009 at 8:20 pm
I said youuuuuuuuuu, you got what I need. But you say he’s just a friend, you say he’s just a friend. OH BABY YOUUUUUUUUUUU, you got what I neeeeeeeeeed…
May 7th, 2009 at 8:21 pm
Cmon Happ!!
May 7th, 2009 at 8:21 pm
Is Nolan Ryan willing to come back?
May 7th, 2009 at 8:21 pm
More concerning that Moyer’s poor outing is the fact that we’ll have to read a novel’s worth of posts tomrw by Geoff telling us how he may have been correct about something for the VERY FIRST TIME here on PhilliesNation
May 7th, 2009 at 8:21 pm
I agree with what Mike has to say, with the exception of Myers, because he showed great capability as a strikeout pitcher in the latter half of the season. But the offense cannot be held responsible for winning games every night.
May 7th, 2009 at 8:22 pm
Roy Oswalt, possibly. And he dominates the Phillies, so not having him against us could be a plus…
May 7th, 2009 at 8:23 pm
There we go, Happ! Nice strikeout! I’ll be happy if he can shut the Mets offense down… even if we lose the game. I’m more concerned about the near future of this rotation than the result of one regular season game.
May 7th, 2009 at 8:24 pm
Yeah I mean Charlie managed himself a WFC so he def. knows more than I do but, I woulda warmed happ up after the second HR and not waited til lthe 3rd.
May 7th, 2009 at 8:24 pm
Carrasco still is in our system also
May 7th, 2009 at 8:24 pm
Yeahhh. Geoff is going to have a field day tomorrow
May 7th, 2009 at 8:25 pm
We got lucky with Moyer last year. We even saw him blow up in games last year. He is not fooling anyone except the Marlins. Big League hitters love facing him. Ruben Jr. will not sit by and watch this. He likes to react quick. They spent alot of money this year. If our pitching was halfway good we would win. The Mets are not very good. We can easily beat them. I hate Manuel. Never liked him. He lets players stay in to long. Once Moyer got his butt kicked in the first he should of pulled the strings and went to Happ.
May 7th, 2009 at 8:25 pm
What would we need to trade to get Roy Oswalt?
May 7th, 2009 at 8:25 pm
well Don … Geoff will remind us that it was not a quality start haha
May 7th, 2009 at 8:26 pm
We can hit Pelfrey if we’re a little patient… probably get 4 more runs from him…and then it’ll be a whole new ballgame (of course, if Happ keeps it up)
May 7th, 2009 at 8:26 pm
I’m still optimistic we can get it to 7-5 by the 6th or 7th
May 7th, 2009 at 8:27 pm
yeah matt i really like the way Carrasco carries himself but hes been getting lit up as of recent, no?
May 7th, 2009 at 8:27 pm
There we go.. RAUUUL!
May 7th, 2009 at 8:28 pm
Wow you guys scored….
May 7th, 2009 at 8:29 pm
and feliz turnin on the gas beating it out!
May 7th, 2009 at 8:29 pm
What’s the over/under on how many times he writes “See ya, pal!” Tomorrow?? It has to be up there.. I’m saying 12.5 times
I’m guessing he goes OVER.. I’m thinking he says it a couple times in a row at some point!
May 7th, 2009 at 8:29 pm
what a bullshit call…i guess they feel bad for you
May 7th, 2009 at 8:29 pm
there we go, Pelfrey is susceptible and it is a very, very tight strike zone
And as for Carrasco, his ERA isn’t stunning, but he still is another talent who could possibly develop. Lit up, no. Anything spectacular, no also.
May 7th, 2009 at 8:30 pm
See ya, pal! See ya, pal! See ya, pal!
May 7th, 2009 at 8:31 pm
Don, im going under, hes going to have one long ass post, and say it a couple times
May 7th, 2009 at 8:32 pm
Dont even listen to met fans. They will never win the series. They will be calling Mike on the fan crying how bad they suck. our offense will come back but it sucks they waited this long to pull moyer. pelfry stinks
May 7th, 2009 at 8:32 pm
4 outs in one inning
May 7th, 2009 at 8:32 pm
He’s going to have like 7 Long A$$ Posts… and by the end of the day, he’ll tell us what he meant to say was that Jamie Moyer should have retired.. as though he hasn’t been saying similar things about our entire roster since this time LAST SEASON
May 7th, 2009 at 8:32 pm
keith… if im not mistaken… roy halladay is also on the trading block, however it would be a c. c. trade, i believe he is a FA after this year. I would love to see a sign and trade for him though.
May 7th, 2009 at 8:33 pm
Yeah well you clowns arent going to win anything with your Leagues worst pitching staff
May 7th, 2009 at 8:34 pm
You guys should just admit it, you LOVE Geoff and miss him when he’s not here-lol!
May 7th, 2009 at 8:34 pm
Great play by JRoll right there!
May 7th, 2009 at 8:34 pm
A trade for Halladay would be incredible, but would probably be at a huge cost
May 7th, 2009 at 8:35 pm
right on matt, either way I dont see how some new blood on this pitching staff can be a bad thing. mix it up u know, bring up a kid with nothing to loose. Anybody know what Kendricks been up to?
May 7th, 2009 at 8:35 pm
Kendrick has been really solid in AAA. Having some really good outtings.
May 7th, 2009 at 8:35 pm
hah can halladay throw strikes?
May 7th, 2009 at 8:35 pm
No need for a guy like that… I think Myers will be dominant later on this season… If not, we’d definitely need a guy like Matt Cain
May 7th, 2009 at 8:36 pm
I just worry that he actually may have jumped off a bridge during that 3rd inning.. hopefully he’s OK.
May 7th, 2009 at 8:36 pm
Or just put Happ in at starting rotation?
May 7th, 2009 at 8:36 pm
But before ANY trade, we need to give a shot to the guys in our system (including Carrasco and Kendrick)
May 7th, 2009 at 8:37 pm
Phils pitching is horrid, yet their 14-11 and have a better record then the Mets. Astonishing Mets fans isn’t it?
Also, the Phillies are in 1st place :]
May 7th, 2009 at 8:37 pm
I totally agree manny.
May 7th, 2009 at 8:38 pm
Johnny, Kendrick’s stats are 2-1 and a 2.61 ERA down in AAA.
May 7th, 2009 at 8:38 pm
I’m not even going to say anything
May 7th, 2009 at 8:38 pm
Top FA pitchers next yr (assuming options are denied):
josh beckett, rich harden, cliff lee, john lackey, brett myers, and brandon webb
May 7th, 2009 at 8:38 pm
hahahahahahahahahahaha. that was perfect timing
May 7th, 2009 at 8:39 pm
I think the Phillies need to make Happ the starter. There are 3 pitchers to choose for him to replace. Blanton and Park just earned themselves another start, but I think every time out they need to prove that they can be successful.
May 7th, 2009 at 8:40 pm
hahaha yes, Matt… perfect timing indeed!
May 7th, 2009 at 8:40 pm
it’d be real nice if we could get one of those, who does everyone from that list? I’d like Beckett and Webb.
May 7th, 2009 at 8:40 pm
who does everyone like* from that list?*
May 7th, 2009 at 8:41 pm
Harden and Webb are the most intriguing. Beckett with ultimately stay with Boston. Lee and Lackey I’m not sold on. And Myers will want too much money. Webb is a much more suitable deal, assuming we need to fill a starting pitching void. He plays well in the NL. My only problem with him is strong competition, and he is another changeup pitcher, as is Hamels. Personally, I think a strikeout pitcher would be much more useful
May 7th, 2009 at 8:41 pm
Looks like Moyer was pitching batting practic for them, well are starting pitching woes go on
May 7th, 2009 at 8:41 pm
Webb would be PERFECT in the BANK.
If anyones getting tired of watching the Phils, LeBron is putting on a show on ESPN
May 7th, 2009 at 8:43 pm
LeBron is baby Jesus…just throwing it out there.
The man could probably play any position in football, and dominate…including punter and FG kicker
May 7th, 2009 at 8:43 pm
I apologize for all the dumb Mets fan comments. I wish it would stop too. It makes me look bad.
May 7th, 2009 at 8:44 pm
i like harden and webb the most, not really sold on lee. My number 1 choice is prob webb but harden could be a bargain and is a close 2
May 7th, 2009 at 8:45 pm
Moyer NEEDS TO GO! Send him away!
May 7th, 2009 at 8:45 pm
I agree with Ryan S.
However I’m not sold on Park and Blanton yet. They had two comeback starts, let’s see where their next start goes, now that their expectations are higher.
Secondly, Happ should be a starter at first sight of any downfalls.
I fret that Chawlie won’t want to put Moyer in the pen, nor the minors because of his age stature. So then it really comes down to Blanton and Park. Whose gonna break?
May 7th, 2009 at 8:45 pm
At this rate, we won’t be thinking about Free Agents but more like a big midseason trade.
May 7th, 2009 at 8:46 pm
Matt you see is drive and dunk before the end of the quarter?
May 7th, 2009 at 8:47 pm
i know for a fact people from new york are fat ass losers in their mothers basements. you think your all so tough come here and we will kick your asses, man you think your so great since your from new york but truth is your a bunch of ugly obnoxious failures who think your so tough, really? well tell me the last time you won a world series, remember you talking all tough aint going to win you a world championship so go shove a pizza in your face new york, and choke on it. (you should be good at that)
May 7th, 2009 at 8:47 pm
How could they possibly send Moyer to the Minors? hes going to be 47? Hahaha.
May 7th, 2009 at 8:47 pm
Actually I’m a grad student so I have a playdate with my girl Miss Library right now. I’ll catch the highlights later. He is spectacular though.
May 7th, 2009 at 8:47 pm
Moyer should’ve retired and Lowe should’ve been signed. Happ should be starting and Park should be in the bullpen. Sheffield should be on the team, Cairo should not be.
May 7th, 2009 at 8:49 pm
I was just saying there’s nowhere else to put him, despite a near-7 ERA…
They won’t put Hamels, and we need Myers because he is our only strikeout pitcher.
May 7th, 2009 at 8:49 pm
If only we had Lowe. If only we had him. If only.
May 7th, 2009 at 8:49 pm
Lowe would be clutch, very, very, very clutch
May 7th, 2009 at 8:50 pm
Matt, we need to a trade for a new pitcher. Replace the old with some new.
May 7th, 2009 at 8:50 pm
Looks like Tim’s prediction could be very, very accurate after all…
May 7th, 2009 at 8:52 pm
Agreed, but with an already high salary, and an intensely-competitive market for proven starting pitchers, it’ll be hard to wiggle in some charming offers against teams that desperately need the aces.
May 7th, 2009 at 8:52 pm
Manny, we need to trade for a new pitcher. Replace the old with some new.
May 7th, 2009 at 8:53 pm
Matt, I don’t care what it takes but get it done.
May 7th, 2009 at 8:53 pm
Webb’s arm is damaged. Thats why they pulled his contract extension.
Happ has looked pretty good. Park and Blanton bought them another start. I think Charlie and Amaro will give Moyer a very looooooooong leash before they pull him from the rotation.
May 7th, 2009 at 8:55 pm
Cmon Phils lets get this offense going… this game isn’t over… and Happ is looking good on the mound!!
May 7th, 2009 at 8:55 pm
cxl72, we need to trade for a new pitcher. Replace the old with some new.
May 7th, 2009 at 8:56 pm
Manny, I agree. Happ should have started.
May 7th, 2009 at 8:56 pm
HOWARD!!!!!!!!
May 7th, 2009 at 8:57 pm
HOME RUN HOWARD!! over 415 zone.. got that Mutts fans?
May 7th, 2009 at 8:57 pm
jenny our pitching will come around. we have happ, kendrick and carrasco waiting in the wings as the #5. a healthy hamels tomorrow will make all the difference.
May 7th, 2009 at 8:57 pm
Yes….. Werth is 3-3!
May 7th, 2009 at 8:57 pm
Good, chip away. Pelfrey is far from unhittable
May 7th, 2009 at 8:58 pm
Aw man. He didnt get his special mumbo jumbo voodoo strike zone tonight, and man did it show. It was so bad that adjectives do not describe it well enough. It was one of the worst starting pitching performances I have ever seen. They shouldve pulled Moyer in teh first inning. Because if you give up 4 runs in the first inning, youre not giving your team a chance to win – and its seya pal time for the day.
meanwhile, mike pelfrey is shaky man, they gotta get a few more off this guy to ruin his quailty start.
but back to Moyer, even Miguel Cairo could homer off of Moyer, what a dog dirt terrible stink dog stretch-marks diddly poo its time to retire performance by Jamie Moyer. I mean, Chan Ho Park can one hit these guys while Moyer goes out there and gets absolutely smoked. why isnt ja happ in the rotation by now? I mean, its time. because its definitely a seya pal type of situation now. his mulligans are all used up and its time for Moyer to put up or else – seya pal.
now, will he retire or will be be like brett favre and keep coming back. because no other teams wanted moyer as a free agent. They all said SEYA PAL!
new rotation
hamels
myers
happ
blanton
park (for maybe two more starts if theyre both bad) – then carrasco
why is carlos ruiz even here? .208 average? really? how about this? Lou Marson is a better catcher than Carlos Ruiz all around. The only reason Ruiz is there is because he knows the pitching better than Marson does. SO its time to take Coste and say “seya pal” and then let Ruiz work with Marson as the tandem.
wait a minute..another seya pal from howard!!!! SEYA PAL OUTTA HERE!!! Home run RyAN HOWARD. Mega bomb.
now its time to ump on Pelfrey.
I say Moyer has 5 more starts – and then, seya pal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! – if things dont improve
May 7th, 2009 at 8:58 pm
Jenny, thanks Howard. But why wasn’t Utley on base?
May 7th, 2009 at 8:58 pm
hey manny whats the score?
May 7th, 2009 at 8:58 pm
Wait for your pitch, Raul… and slam it into the right field seats!
May 7th, 2009 at 8:59 pm
alright howard
May 7th, 2009 at 8:59 pm
I like your pitching staff Geoff. You should be a coach.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:00 pm
Manny is suspended for 50 games, I am shocked. I was going next week to see him lose, but now he won’t play.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:00 pm
i think geoff wrote that in advance of todays start. moyer was as terrible as i’ve seen him but he’s still a viable #5 pitcher.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:02 pm
Nice job PELF
May 7th, 2009 at 9:02 pm
cxl72, I disagree with you. I think Moyer should have retired after the World Series.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:02 pm
i hate solo home runs when you’re down more than mets fans. that was a lousy inning.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:03 pm
cxl72..really? He gives this team no shot to win anymore
May 7th, 2009 at 9:04 pm
My son is a Mets fan. I spank him every night.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:04 pm
I do too Jenny, but wouldnt you want one more season in the sun? I just dont even care who at this point. WE NEED new blood in our staff.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:05 pm
I don’t spank my son. I don’t even have a son. I’m 18.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:05 pm
I counted 8 ’seya pals’ in that sentence. Did I miss any?
May 7th, 2009 at 9:05 pm
That makes sense Johnny.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:06 pm
hahahah terrible timing. I ALSO AGREE that Moyer ought to have retired. i dont think moyer or anyone else here met ur son.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:06 pm
What a difference… Moyer… Happ
At this point, it’s a no-brainer
May 7th, 2009 at 9:06 pm
Mike, you didn’t miss any. I think you did a great job with the counting.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:08 pm
Manny, it really is a no-brainer. You should be a coach.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:08 pm
*post, not sentence. Whoops.
Also, J.A. Happ is earning himself a starting spot today. He looks great.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:09 pm
Nobody is talking. I am all by myself. Don’t want to be all by myself.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:09 pm
What I mean Jenny, was tat right now guys are getting comfortable where they are. They want to play better and guys like Myers and Moyer and trying to make it right, but not hard enough to actually throw a strike. Bring in some young blood. Have Happ actually START a game or Carrasco, see bring Kendrick up for a star, whatever … and see how our veterans react to their roles being held in jeopardy.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:09 pm
What in the world makes a mets fan, feel embaressed, to lose like they have the last two years, quit even there own players said it and still brag, what kind of animals are they?
May 7th, 2009 at 9:10 pm
Johny, you have made great points. Happ should be given a chance.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:10 pm
Maybe its the swine flu I contracted but I think Moyer can still shake this off and give us a good outing against the Dodgers on Wednesday.
Manny’s comments is valid, its tough to say that Happ hasn’t been one of our best 3 or 4 pitchers AND was clutch down the stretch for us last year.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:10 pm
I am so sorry Johnny. I called you Johny by mistake.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:11 pm
cxl72, I am so sorry for you. My thoughts and prayers go to you and your family. Don’t die please.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:12 pm
What is wrong? Have I scared everyone away?
May 7th, 2009 at 9:13 pm
Thank you Jenny, I hope they find a cure LOL
I have to think that Moyer has the other 24 guys (even Happ) on the team pulling for him, Charlie is a players coach and he will give Moyer every chance to get back on track.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:13 pm
Sigh, and again, a pitcher who’s doing great is pulled in favor of a pinch hitter who then doesn’t do shit.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:14 pm
cxl72, how bad is it?
May 7th, 2009 at 9:14 pm
Mike, you just made a great point. You should be a coach.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:14 pm
Definitely should’ve left Happ in..
May 7th, 2009 at 9:15 pm
Whomever had the “leash” comment about Moyer earlier is right-on.
I agree with every post about the Derek Lowe avoidance, and the fallacies of Moyer, but truth is, the Chawlie, and the organization will not bench a 47 year old who just disputed for a contract extension.
I’m all for it, however. But it just won’t happen.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:15 pm
If Rollins groudns out to first one more damn time.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:15 pm
Manny and Matt, why aren’t you coaches?
May 7th, 2009 at 9:16 pm
Well at least we have our best 6 hitters due up next…so there is still some hope.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:16 pm
The Little Guy, Rollins scored the 1st run.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:16 pm
Manny, I feel we have no chance and I want you to help me believe.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:17 pm
Yea, Matt… it won’t happen for now.. but I’d bet it’ll happen by the all star break…
May 7th, 2009 at 9:17 pm
We are gonna win the division. Sorry Phillies & Mets! Watch out!
May 7th, 2009 at 9:18 pm
Why am I on a Phillies blog you ask? I don’t really know.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:18 pm
Jenny: If the Nats fan is able to have some hope, you can too.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:19 pm
haha.
As for J-Roll hitting .400 in May, yeah that’s not gonna happen.
I would hate to say it, but I will be the first to mention that Jimmy could be a potential lure for teams looking to trade..
Personally I would rather give Happ the job, than be quick to make Yankee-esque maneuvers in trade acquisitions. Happ has pitched well, and Romero will come back to bolster the bullpen. A trade probably isn’t likely
May 7th, 2009 at 9:19 pm
But I feel like I can be the best poster on here even if I’m a Nationals Fan. Okay people. Let’s go Phillies. See guys I can do it too. Mets suck.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:20 pm
Manny, Nationals aren’t good. I need your help.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:20 pm
Is anybody out there? Please! I need to believe that we can win this game.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:21 pm
Nobody answered me. I am all by myself. I am sad.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:21 pm
Don’t jump on him. He hasn’t said anything that a normal fan wouldn’t say about his/her own team. He gave the phils a shoutout and rooted against the Mets.
It’s a public forum…gotta respect those who treat it properly.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:22 pm
I want hits from all Phillies batters. All hits.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:23 pm
Matt, I am so sorry. I am sorry Nationals Fan. I am sorry. Don’t hate.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:24 pm
Agreed. Ridiculous and childish.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:24 pm
MP, I am sorry.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:25 pm
OOh did forget to mention the only worthwhile thing I read on here was the Chris Wheeler glossary website. Awesome.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:25 pm
Can we have a chance to go all the way and win every game the rest of the way?
May 7th, 2009 at 9:26 pm
MP, you are funny. I think you should post more.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:26 pm
We look awesome tonight! Especially Moyer!
May 7th, 2009 at 9:26 pm
Manny, I am scared.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:28 pm
John, that wasn’t funny at all and now you must kick yourself.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:28 pm
Moyers gotta get seya pal’d man…this is absurd…enough with this stink dog old man…
May 7th, 2009 at 9:28 pm
Geoff, I want you to coach.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:28 pm
Yes! Vic is on base….
May 7th, 2009 at 9:29 pm
Manny, where are you? I don’t like that we’re losing.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:29 pm
vic is on base, ok now…patience. focus on also getting the second runner on base and then try to chip a big piece off.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:29 pm
I think David Wright tries to get dirty on purpose to appear to be a “gamer”.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:29 pm
Manny! My buddy. Stay with me.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:30 pm
Okay I am scared. I want runs.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:30 pm
Interference!!
May 7th, 2009 at 9:30 pm
What did Victorino do?
May 7th, 2009 at 9:31 pm
Wow you guys are getting every call tonight
May 7th, 2009 at 9:31 pm
Its so hard to take Jerry Manual seriously. He only got the job because the dogs on the Muts quit on Willie Randolph. If the chips are down they will quit on him. He’s a clown.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:31 pm
Manny, what’s wrong?
May 7th, 2009 at 9:32 pm
cxl72, what is happening?
May 7th, 2009 at 9:32 pm
Sorry PHUCK, champions always get the calls. Like the Jordan Bulls, Bird Celtics or Lakers with Magic….deal with it.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:32 pm
hahaha Victorino is little dirt devil hahahhahahaa I like the guy… lets hope that rattles the Mets pitcher and defense
May 7th, 2009 at 9:33 pm
ok…please at least just get shane victorino in pleaez..thanks
May 7th, 2009 at 9:33 pm
Manny, please tell me what happened. Puhplease.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:33 pm
that was such a great job by vic. He should hang up his cleats and go into acting!!
May 7th, 2009 at 9:34 pm
Tyler, what happened?
May 7th, 2009 at 9:34 pm
jenny… SHUT UP!!! U R SOOOO ANNOYING!!!
May 7th, 2009 at 9:34 pm
29 outs in this game for the philthies
May 7th, 2009 at 9:35 pm
Tyler, I’m sorry. I’ll go kill myself now.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:35 pm
Speaking of Alomars, what’s up with Roberto?? Settling with the woman who called him out on the HIV exposure. Yikes!!
May 7th, 2009 at 9:35 pm
vic was in a run-down and knew he was dead so he ran into reyes after he threw the ball so it would be interference but he ran into reyes and threw a shoulder but the ump didnt see it. then manuel (of the mets) got tossed
May 7th, 2009 at 9:36 pm
if you can’t beat em….CHEAT!
May 7th, 2009 at 9:36 pm
Tyler, thank you.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:36 pm

He’s making up for last night’s mistake…… Lets do this Phils..lets do this!!!!!
May 7th, 2009 at 9:37 pm
Where’s their dumbass apple?
May 7th, 2009 at 9:38 pm
gay victorino, that is a rude name. Please leave.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:38 pm
If the Phils come back to win it, Mets fans are going to be complaining about that interference call for weeks.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:38 pm
Who else loves this effing team? They always battle. They are never dead. Gritty and Gutty! A team worthy of this city!!
May 7th, 2009 at 9:38 pm
This game is really good right now
May 7th, 2009 at 9:38 pm
yes gay victorino… we cant beat the mets so we must cheat. we also had to cheat in the world series by faking out the rays with a double clutch throw then throwing them out at the plate. we are huge cheaters and i apologize for our rude ways.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:38 pm
IBANEZ GROUNDS OUT FOR THE 5TH OUT OF THE INNING
May 7th, 2009 at 9:39 pm
Little guy I respect that apple. C’Mon, I hate the Mets as much as the next guy but the apple is cool.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:39 pm
We need one guy to get on base and then bring in Stairs! haha
May 7th, 2009 at 9:39 pm
well at least they took a little chunk off the lead. K-rods gotta blow a save eventually.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:39 pm
Go Phillies
May 7th, 2009 at 9:39 pm
LOL Tyler, yes, we are cheaters!!
May 7th, 2009 at 9:40 pm
yea geoff… and imagine if he blew one against the phils… he would be booed for the rest of the yr
May 7th, 2009 at 9:40 pm
jenny…i had an ex named that..she was a pig…please leave
May 7th, 2009 at 9:40 pm
I like to cheat
May 7th, 2009 at 9:40 pm
That apple is dumb and slow… I’ll take our ballpark’s Liberty Bell over that piece of *fruit* anyday
May 7th, 2009 at 9:40 pm
and throw elbows
May 7th, 2009 at 9:41 pm
was she a pig or did u realize u were gay… are u sure ur name isnt supposed to read gay 4 victorino
May 7th, 2009 at 9:41 pm
Gotta hold them here. Who remembers that huge comeback vs. the Mets last year??
May 7th, 2009 at 9:41 pm
Why not Madson here?
May 7th, 2009 at 9:42 pm
gay victorino, I had a boyfriend who had a gay friend. he was annoying, please leave.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:42 pm
Oh you Mets fans and your derogatory comments are so creative. I bet you pat yourself on the back nightly.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:42 pm
yes that was before i realized i was gay…and began my affair with shane victorino
May 7th, 2009 at 9:42 pm
Jenny, Tyler that was funny.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:43 pm
TASCHNER!?? WHAT THE HELL!!!!!!!!
May 7th, 2009 at 9:43 pm
Go Phillies!
May 7th, 2009 at 9:43 pm
cxl… which one??? haha
May 7th, 2009 at 9:44 pm
Go Metsies!
May 7th, 2009 at 9:44 pm
I hope it’s just to get ONE player (lefty) out…
May 7th, 2009 at 9:44 pm
cxl… do u mean last september or the september before that or a the like 9-8 game last year or a different comeback?? there are plenty to choose from!
May 7th, 2009 at 9:45 pm
Go Phillies!!
May 7th, 2009 at 9:45 pm
wait I dont get it … gay victorino had an ex gf named gay victorino? lets go taschner!
May 7th, 2009 at 9:46 pm
I’m not the one posting those “Go Phillies!” messages so whoever you are, I hope you’re having fun
May 7th, 2009 at 9:47 pm
Nice Taschner…!
May 7th, 2009 at 9:47 pm
What is the score?
May 7th, 2009 at 9:47 pm
actually i lied, i am posting those
May 7th, 2009 at 9:48 pm
you’re right tyler i dont know which of the many mets chokes was my favorite. i liked the one when coste came in to kick a$$
http://www.phillieshomeplate.com/phils-spot-mets-7-coste-back-to-win-marathon-8-to-7/
May 7th, 2009 at 9:49 pm
Manny, why would you lie?
May 7th, 2009 at 9:51 pm
So why would Mets fans chant something toward a player who just burned them with a home run? I’m confused by this.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:51 pm
c’mon taschner… throw a strike
May 7th, 2009 at 9:52 pm
Tim, Mets fans are confusing.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:52 pm
And why are they singing the “T.O.” song????
May 7th, 2009 at 9:52 pm
tim… i mustve missed that… wat did they do
May 7th, 2009 at 9:52 pm
Gold Glove
May 7th, 2009 at 9:52 pm
Nice out Jimmy….
Here we goooooooo!
May 7th, 2009 at 9:53 pm
Georgie, I do not know. But can we score 2 in the 9th?
May 7th, 2009 at 9:53 pm
georgie… they’re saying joooseee jose jose jose joooseee jooosee
May 7th, 2009 at 9:53 pm
Good luck guys
May 7th, 2009 at 9:54 pm
the bottom line. if charlie pulled moyer after the first…WE WIN
May 7th, 2009 at 9:54 pm
Tyler, which came first, T.O. or Jose?
May 7th, 2009 at 9:55 pm
Muck the Fets.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:55 pm
Tim, Mets fans think they’re creative when they chant….it’s kind of cute in a sad, pathetic way.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:55 pm
1 out
May 7th, 2009 at 9:55 pm
They were chanting “Jayson Werthless,” about a guy who has gone 4-for-4. I don’t know, weird.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:55 pm
honestly… idk… but both are parodies of ooooleeee ole ole ole oooleee oooleee
May 7th, 2009 at 9:55 pm
Seriously… CMON FELIZ! You can do better than that!!
May 7th, 2009 at 9:56 pm
IF charlie pulls Moyer after the first we win…
May 7th, 2009 at 9:56 pm
Terrible
May 7th, 2009 at 9:56 pm
scoreboard fellas
May 7th, 2009 at 9:56 pm
hahahahahahahaha… thats hilarious… thanks tim
May 7th, 2009 at 9:57 pm
Cairo? Instead of Ruiz!? WTF
May 7th, 2009 at 9:57 pm
i no that was a ball but i wouldve loved to see cairo go for it and send it the other way
May 7th, 2009 at 9:58 pm
(the first ball)
May 7th, 2009 at 9:58 pm
Miguel Cairo needs to be off this team.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:58 pm
2 outs
May 7th, 2009 at 9:58 pm
UGh…..
Cairo….
May 7th, 2009 at 9:58 pm
Nice out Jose….
Here we goooooooo!
May 7th, 2009 at 9:59 pm
lol he said scoreboard, hahaha…wow look at last 2 years end of the season standings. But do this in a room with out windows, because you might jump out.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:59 pm
yeah, I’m kind of confused why Cairo is on the roster.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:59 pm
Why would anyone in their right mind pinch-hit Cairo over Ruiz? Chooch is better
May 7th, 2009 at 10:00 pm
Just let K-Rod throw pitches… he’ll walk someone and then we HIT
May 7th, 2009 at 10:00 pm
Whats wrong with Cairo? Leave the guy alone, he has the toughest job in baseball.
May 7th, 2009 at 10:00 pm
“scoreboard fellas”
See what I mean. It’s kind of cute.
May 7th, 2009 at 10:00 pm
Oh wow that was close… what a sweet swing!
May 7th, 2009 at 10:01 pm
Yes…. can Jimmy walk/hit/homer ?
May 7th, 2009 at 10:01 pm
Cant we pinch-run for Stairs?
May 7th, 2009 at 10:02 pm
Just make him throw pitches, Jimmy…
May 7th, 2009 at 10:02 pm
cmon mvp, show the mets that we’re the team to beat…
May 7th, 2009 at 10:02 pm
little guy – its not that hard. i could easily be a .077 hitter
May 7th, 2009 at 10:03 pm
Whats the point of pinch running for him now? Their down 2, and hes on first?
May 7th, 2009 at 10:03 pm
If Jimmy gets some type of weak single and we’d want Shane to bat..
May 7th, 2009 at 10:04 pm
Jamie, no chance hahaha
May 7th, 2009 at 10:04 pm
Boo Jimmy boo
May 7th, 2009 at 10:04 pm
Game set match
May 7th, 2009 at 10:05 pm
Point to the sky baby
May 7th, 2009 at 10:05 pm
Damn K-Rod, your 14-13, this isn’t the world series. Calm Down
May 7th, 2009 at 10:05 pm
you fine folks enjoy your night…all in good fun
May 7th, 2009 at 10:07 pm
I know, nothing says good fun like derogatory, vulgar, and course language and innuendos.
May 7th, 2009 at 10:07 pm
he does that after every save little guy…havent you seen him pitch before?
May 7th, 2009 at 10:08 pm
This one lies at the feet of one Jamie Moyer. Braves have some bad starters this weekend and no D. Lowe. Get em tomorrow.
Later Philliesnation….
May 7th, 2009 at 10:08 pm
im gonna go SWEEP my room,,, ps mike likes boys
May 7th, 2009 at 10:11 pm
hey gay you wanna come sweep over here too? I have my broom out too
May 7th, 2009 at 10:12 pm
Alright Muts fans, we’ll see you in a month or so. Go back to your caves or something.
May 7th, 2009 at 10:20 pm
Nice to see there’s people imitating regulars on here tonight. Apparently I was in two places at the same time, with one of them blogging 20 minutes ago when I wasn’t even home…damn I’m good
May 7th, 2009 at 10:20 pm
Oh, Well.
Almost does not count. K-Rod mows em down in the ninth. 2 game SWEEP. Thats now 4 in a row. Phillies starting pitching bites hard. Good luck with that rotation the rest of the year.
Moyer…showing his age(Sucks)
Hamels…Injured. will get reinjured (Does not suck)
Meyers…go back to the minors (sucks)
Blanton…Don’t you wish you can send him back to the A’s(REALLY sucks)
Chan Ho Park…ouch(Sucks ass)
Bullpen…good luck with that the rest of the year also(suck)
Charlie Manuel…the worst manager in MLB(even worse then Willie Randolph)(sucks)
May 7th, 2009 at 10:22 pm
4 in a row? The phils beat you saturday
May 7th, 2009 at 10:25 pm
uh umm yea Chutly, most of those things aren’t true. I think he’s referring to the Mets winning 4 in a row.
May 7th, 2009 at 10:25 pm
Yes, The the Mets beat the Braves 2 game sweep, then the Phillies 2 game sweep. If my math is correct, which it is that equals 4. 2+2=4. Understand? I’ll explain again 2+2=4.
May 7th, 2009 at 10:25 pm
I’m Chutly, go back to your cave.
May 7th, 2009 at 10:26 pm
Learn some class I’m Chutly, can ya.
May 7th, 2009 at 10:27 pm
I am sad we lost. I want to cry and get all depressed. But then I remind myself it’s only one game and we will win the World Series again.
May 7th, 2009 at 10:27 pm
Remember, Mets fans think they’re creative. It’s cute in a sad, pathetic way.
May 7th, 2009 at 10:28 pm
I wished you guys good luck and you didn’t come through. What gives?
May 7th, 2009 at 10:28 pm
Wow, if our rotation sucks, what does the Mets stack up to? Anyone besides Santana couldn’t hold Bruntlett’s jock strap. How’s that Ollie Perez extension treating you guys?
May 7th, 2009 at 10:29 pm
Barney Boo Johnson thinks the Mets fans are annoying as all hell.
May 7th, 2009 at 10:29 pm
Jamie, we lost though. It’s unfortunate, but we lost.
May 7th, 2009 at 10:30 pm
Keith everything I posted is 100% true. And, you know it. Hey I gave you credit for Hamels. I’m not going to deny I wish he was a Met. He would look good in Blue and orange. I have no doubt if he keeps pitching the way he does he will be. Why because WE HAVE ALL THE MONEY, and your team is dirt cheap.
May 7th, 2009 at 10:31 pm
Yeah, we did. And we’ll lose more. But we’ll win more than we’ll lose, and we’ll probably end up winning more than the Mets, which isn’t anything new.
May 7th, 2009 at 10:32 pm
I’m Chutly, you will most likely not live to see another 30 days.
May 7th, 2009 at 10:32 pm
Good night and good luck with that pitching staff for the rest of the year. HAHAHAHAHA……….
May 7th, 2009 at 10:32 pm
Jamie, I know how it works. But the Mets deserve to lose 100 games.
May 7th, 2009 at 10:33 pm
I’m a piece of work and I have a wart on my nose. Goodbye!
May 7th, 2009 at 10:34 pm
I’m Chutly, you will not make it out alive.
May 7th, 2009 at 10:34 pm
I concur.
May 7th, 2009 at 10:34 pm
*bomb goes off* BOOM all Mets trolls are dead.
May 7th, 2009 at 10:35 pm
Chutly, your team is STILL 14-13 and STILL in 2nd Place :]
May 7th, 2009 at 10:35 pm
I love how the Mets fans talk smack on the pitching staff after their “ring around the rosey” of pitchers they’re trotting out with Oliver Perez (who got demoted), Livan Hernandez, the Freddie Garcia experiment, Tim Redding.
Outside of Santana, there isn’t much to brag about in Queens.
Then again, Mets love to be confident with their consistent mediocrity
May 7th, 2009 at 10:35 pm
Jamie, the Mets trolls are dead. Celebrate good times, come on.
May 7th, 2009 at 10:36 pm
I wished you guys good luck and you didn’t help us out. Don’t you understand that the Mets should lose every game?
May 7th, 2009 at 10:37 pm
Nationals Fan, I am sorry that we lost. I really am. But maybe your team should start sweeping the Mets from now on.
May 7th, 2009 at 10:37 pm
You know what really burns my ass tho? In the last 2 years, Hamels has face the Mets once! And it was against Santana @ the Bank, on a Friday (I was there). Like seriously, our best big game pitcher, has faced those bumbs once.
Anyone want to give me some insight on why this is the case?
May 7th, 2009 at 10:37 pm
I wish it with the world.
May 7th, 2009 at 10:38 pm
I will.
May 7th, 2009 at 10:39 pm
Little Guy, Hamels doesn’t have the best history against the Mets, so that isn’t the worst thing in the world.
May 7th, 2009 at 10:39 pm
Cole Hamels! Is it really you?
May 7th, 2009 at 10:40 pm
Okay. So you would rather trot Moyer, Park, Myers out their against them?!
Sorry Mike, but thats not a viable excuse for me.
May 7th, 2009 at 10:40 pm
SJ Mike, Hamels is great.
May 7th, 2009 at 10:40 pm
Hamels should start every game!
May 7th, 2009 at 10:41 pm
I know, but what can I say?
May 7th, 2009 at 10:42 pm
Jenny, Hamels is a great pitcher, of course. But he has historically had rough outtings against the Mets. They have hit him hard and usually beat him. He has a losing record against the club lifetime.
May 7th, 2009 at 10:42 pm
I am tired of this blog. I want people posting every minute.
May 7th, 2009 at 10:43 pm
SJ Mike, I understand. But I want the Phillies to beat the Mets in their series this year. We lost 3 already. We have 14 games left. Let’s win at least 10 of them.
May 7th, 2009 at 10:44 pm
Am I being a little annoying? I try not to be, but people think I am sometimes because I don’t shutup.
May 7th, 2009 at 10:44 pm
YES! GET OUT OF HERE! YOU STUPID WITCH!
May 7th, 2009 at 10:44 pm
I do hope Hamels proves history wrong and owns the Mets lineup, but when he pitches, they’re going to stack the righties against him the same way they did against Moyer tonight.
May 7th, 2009 at 10:45 pm
fine I’ll go, this blog doesn’t have nice people anyway. Manny, I will miss you.
May 7th, 2009 at 10:46 pm
a Mets fan is smart to get rid of a Phillies fan
