Gamenight: Phillies (34-23) At Mets (31-26)
Posted by Tim Malcolm, Thu, June 11, 2009 05:45 PM
Philadelphia Phillies (34-23) at New York Mets (31-26)
Jamie Moyer (4-5, 6.27 ERA) vs. Tim Redding (0-2, 6.97 ERA)
Time: 7:10 p.m. at Citi Field, Queens, NY
Weather: Rain, 64
TV: Comcast SportsNet
Twitter: Phillies Nation
It might be raining, but if the Phillies and Mets hook up tonight, it’ll be a storm of a different kind brewing at Citi Field. So far in the three-game series we’ve seen two one-run games, one extra-inning game, a bunch of home runs (including three from Chase Utley), great pitching, bad pitching, great defense, bad pitching, clutch hitting, bonehead hitting and plenty of noise. Just your typical Phils and Mets tussle.
Last night Cole Hamels couldn’t survive long, while Mike Pelfrey gave the Mets a solid start. But while the Mets couldn’t solve their own problems against the Phils bullpen, the good guys got theirs. In extras, the Phils escaped every Mets rally until Utley could post his second longball, winning the game. Tonight there might be more longballs: Jamie Moyer and Tim Redding – owners of ERAs north of 6.00 – hook up.
Of course, Redding is known as a certified Phillie Killer. For his career he’s 5-3 with a 3.29 ERA against the Phils. Last year he was mixed in five starts – one dominating (shutout) and one horrid (seven earned), but then three pretty normal starts. Hopefully the Phils can do more than normal against Redding.
Moyer had trouble last time against the Mets, giving up a couple home runs and being lifted early. This season he’s 0-1 with a 13.50 ERA against the Metropolitans.
Your gamenight beer: Citi Field has something good going for it: Big Apple Brews, a nice centrally located kiosk in the centerfield midway. Among the good beers in bottle there were Leffe (a Belgian blonde) and Goose Island IPA. This complex brew has the potent hops, but also contains sweet tastes of citrus. You’ll find it enjoyable, even if you’re at Citi Field (which, as I’ll post tomorrow, is actually a nice ballpark). Chow on some fried shrimp and Basmati rice with this.
Go Phillies!

I think you mean bad defense instead of bad pitching timmmmay.
Lets Go Phils
June 11th, 2009 at 5:52 pm
Probably the Mets need this one a little more than we do, but I’d sure love to see the Phils come out on top. Taking 2 out of 3 would be sweet.
June 11th, 2009 at 6:01 pm
will be watching this one on MLB.TV on my brand new 24″ IMac in super HD goodness. i’ll be able to freeze that 59 MPH fastball and rewind all of the line drive and broken bat home runs.
oh goody
June 11th, 2009 at 6:03 pm
One have to give credit to the Mets for putting up a good fight in this series. Their manager, Jerry Manuel, was on a merry go round of personnel changes in creating a makeshift lineup minus their two key players, Delgado and Reyes.
Let’s go Moyer and Phillies!
June 11th, 2009 at 6:05 pm
Pablos Ozuna gone for 50 games
June 11th, 2009 at 6:18 pm
The Pen!
June 11th, 2009 at 6:20 pm
Sh*t I’m out of Basmati rice tonight!!
June 11th, 2009 at 6:21 pm
getting home from work and will turn on the game and pause for about an hour so I can try out Punch Out for the Wii.
June 11th, 2009 at 6:40 pm

June 11th, 2009 at 6:50 pm
Tim says on the mets telecast the phils don`t care how many their down 10-15 games in sept the phils will win. The mets booth called phils fans a little cocky after that. Just remember WFC not chokers……
June 11th, 2009 at 6:51 pm
So no Ruiz tonight, even though he didn’t play the whole game yestarday, does Moyer like Coste or something he seems to catch him alot. Anyone know if it is raining in Flushing right now it looks like on the radar it is storms all around but not over the ball park any help on this would be appreciated
June 11th, 2009 at 6:51 pm
From ESPN.com:
Tim Redding has pitched well against Philadelphia, with a 3.29 ERA, and the Mets have been scoring 4.6 runs per game at Citi Field over their past seven at home.
David Wright, 3B, Mets: Will the scoreboard crew be playing “Jamie’s Crying” on Thursday? It will if Wright continues his Moyer mastery, .421 with three home runs and nine RBIs.
Jimmy Rollins, SS, Phillies: Usually, Rollins plays well in the Big Apple, but historically, he’s struggled against Tim Redding. Seven strikeouts in 32 at-bats and a .156 batting average give us pause.
June 11th, 2009 at 6:53 pm
If my wife lets me I will actually get to see a game live tonight home early from golf not a bad round 81, so I hope it is not delayed cause I got to be in bed early and asleep late. Long day at the restaurant tomorrow
June 11th, 2009 at 6:54 pm
Looks like there might be some light showers during the game. Thunderstorms according to Weather.com Hour by Hour are supposed to be near midnight.
June 11th, 2009 at 7:02 pm
Ok guys, we got a game with the Mets tonight. And that only means one thing. Bad news for the Mets!
June 11th, 2009 at 7:05 pm
very true Morris
June 11th, 2009 at 7:07 pm
Cmon Rollins!!!
June 11th, 2009 at 7:09 pm
Marlins and Braves both lost today. Nationals losing by a run in the 8th.
June 11th, 2009 at 7:11 pm
Wow…great idea…let’s bunt to start the game…way to go JRoll.
June 11th, 2009 at 7:11 pm
poor Rollins
June 11th, 2009 at 7:11 pm
This should be an interesting GameDay thread cause Jamie is throwing. That means that either all of the haters come out and say that he should retired a month ago or people come out of the woodwork and say they have stuck behind him the whole time. I’m going to thoroughly enjoy the rants either way, but I would prefer the ones about him still being good.
Damnit Jimmy! Really, you had to do that again tonight?!
June 11th, 2009 at 7:12 pm
Two controversial points for you Phillies fans:
1. Jayson! Look at me! / Phillies Fans
While Kevin Burkhardt interviewed Jayson Werth about his “spectacular” catch last night in the Mets pregame show, Werth wouldn’t even look at Kevin; what disrespect! Jayson’s demeanor was antipathetic and he seemed very distracted. Such disrespect is indicative of the attitude that most Mets fans presumably dislike in Phillies fans. I acknowledge that such an assessment of all Phiillies fans is unfair, but that’s the stereotype that prevails about Philadelphians in New York. Personally, the fans that I’ve encountered at Shea Stadium, Citizen’s Bank Park, and now Citi Field have been drunks that are overly rambunctious. I’ve met Phillies fans that have been very courteous and amicable, although few. It may be my dumb”luck.”
2. Redding? Oh boy. Jamie? Oh boy.
I have a feeling that Tim is going to get rocked by the potent Phillies lineup. I’m sure that not one Phillies players is frightened by Tim and his weak stuff. I honestly believe that I can probably tee off Redding if I tried. I also believe that Jamie Moyer will perform a lot better than he did his last time at Citi Field. I was actually present at the aforementioned game, and was surprised that the craft lefty got shellacked. I do understand that he was squeezed though.
June 11th, 2009 at 7:12 pm
Let the Moyer bashing begin. Wont even matter if he only gives up 1ER in 7 innings.
June 11th, 2009 at 7:13 pm
Iassogna is behind the plate. He is renowned for hating the Phillies, especially because him and Bowa got into numerous shouting matches. He was also god awful on numerous calls at first yesterday.
June 11th, 2009 at 7:13 pm
Not a good start by Rollins and Vic. First pitch Rollins bunts and is out. Vic grounds out. what was rollins thinking?????
June 11th, 2009 at 7:14 pm
not the best of innings
June 11th, 2009 at 7:14 pm
That’s an interesting point you make, Miles. I wonder if Iassogna will have a tight strike zone for Moyer tonight.
Redding struck out Utley? Er?
June 11th, 2009 at 7:15 pm
1-2-3 Phillies go down in first. Bunt out, Ground out, Strike out
Only 10 pitches for Redding.
June 11th, 2009 at 7:16 pm
David, you should have seen his post game interview with the Phillies media people last night. He looked like he had just woken up. I just don’t think he is very good with the media and I don’t think it has anything to do with disrespect.
And I will continue to point out that we have done nothing in the first few frames since we lit up Peavy. Just cannot get out of the gate.
June 11th, 2009 at 7:17 pm

^I always play this before Phillies game, thought I’d share
June 11th, 2009 at 7:18 pm
ut oh Moyer
June 11th, 2009 at 7:18 pm
David, the Mets fan from Queens, Ironic how you say Philly fans are “drunks that are overly rambunctious.” LOL We Philly fans think the same of Mets fans, The difference is, I havent met a Mets fans that at the games that arent that way. Either way, your saying its rude for Jayson Werth to be focused on the game during Pre-Game. WOW. Get a clue, it was during the PRE-GAME as you say, why interview during PRE-game? Because they dont damn well that the Phillies are focused on the game, and NO MATTER WHAT HE SAYS YOU WIL HATE HIM. You post was uncalled for on this site.
June 11th, 2009 at 7:18 pm
Double to lead off for the Mets
June 11th, 2009 at 7:19 pm
The Phils should pound on Redding. But I remember him shutting them down before when he pitched for the Nats…
June 11th, 2009 at 7:20 pm
Dan I. seems to be giving Moyer the wide strike zone that he needs in order to be successful, Miles. We’ll see if he shifts the strike zone around throughout the game. I believe that umpires need impeccable memory in order to have a fair strike zone, and I think that most umpires today probably lose concentration. Umpires cannot suffer from ADD, although some of them seem like they do!
June 11th, 2009 at 7:23 pm
When Moyer pitches I do not watch. He is that bad. He will be pounded tonight. Why put Rollins back into a spot when he is struggling in it. He was hitting at the 6th hole. Just another case of miss managed team. Good job Charlie. Now go away and let someone else take over. Just like Lidge.
June 11th, 2009 at 7:24 pm
Jeff, how soon you forget that Manuel won a World Series last year…
June 11th, 2009 at 7:25 pm
David, the Mets fan from Queens, the Umps for the last several years have progessivley been going down hill fast. ADD or not, they have been sucking it up for the most part more and more each season.
June 11th, 2009 at 7:25 pm
wow Jeff maybe u should go away and be replaced by a better Jeff
June 11th, 2009 at 7:25 pm
Brian of CO,
It’s presumptuous of you to say that I’d hate Werth regardless of what he says. I don’t hate a player because of his efforts to help his team win. I wouldn’t say that I hate anyone. “Hate” is a strong word. It sounds asinine to say that I hate a baseball player.
In regard to your opinion about my post being “uncalled for on this site,” you’re entitled to your opinion. I’m entitled to say what I please, regardless of how you may feel about it. I’m sorry that you feel the way that you do.
June 11th, 2009 at 7:25 pm
Mets score the first run on a Beltran ground out.
16 pitches for Moyer in first inning.
Howard, Ibanez, Werth in 2nd inning
June 11th, 2009 at 7:28 pm
I love when people say the manager won the world series. He did not. Do you know why we won. Lidge did blow a save. The pitching held up and we have the best offense in baseball. Nothing Charlie did except put the lineup card up.
June 11th, 2009 at 7:28 pm
I dislike the fact that the Mets are so sensitive! Our guys are dropping like flies! I do credit Beltran for playing this ball game, regardless of his sore knee.
June 11th, 2009 at 7:29 pm
nah Charlie did a lot more than that, sorry Jeff
June 11th, 2009 at 7:30 pm
Oh man….I should just not turn the game on until the 4th. At least Werth decided to work a count.
June 11th, 2009 at 7:30 pm
David, the Mets fan from Queens, was it really needed to come on to a Phillies website and your very first post was “what disrespect! Jayson’s demeanor was antipathetic and he seemed very distracted. Such disrespect is indicative of the attitude that most Mets fans presumably dislike in Phillies fans. I acknowledge that such an assessment of all Phiillies fans is unfair, but that’s the stereotype that prevails about Philadelphians in New York. Personally, the fans that I’ve encountered at Shea Stadium, Citizen’s Bank Park, and now Citi Field have been drunks that are overly rambunctious.” Do you really think that is going to do anything but set off Phillies fans and start something like that? That is why it was uncalled for. If you left it at the 2nd part is one thing, or even just about Werth, but instead you had to add the BASH about why you “dislike” us? That is what set me off, such a generalization. FYI, the word “dislike” is a politically correct was of saying “hate”
June 11th, 2009 at 7:30 pm
6up, 6 down with 2Ks for Phillies.
Wright, Tatis, Martinez for Mets
June 11th, 2009 at 7:31 pm
happy bday Spanish broadcaster
June 11th, 2009 at 7:33 pm
Jeff I don’t really take too kindly to you coming in here and bashing our first place team (assuming you actually are a Phillies fan). If you want a different manager or someone else on the mound, go root for another team.
June 11th, 2009 at 7:37 pm
okay – i know why sinkerballers give our guys headaches but Redding…looks like throws a high slider and gets some our guys who like the high cheese…other than he’s nothing special… ideas anyone?
June 11th, 2009 at 7:39 pm
damn the Mets always steal bases against us
June 11th, 2009 at 7:40 pm
Martinez may prove me wrong later in the game but I’m not sure I agree with Manuel’s choice to play him tonight. Young guys don’t have the best track record against Jamie.
Side note: Since when did Wright become unstoppable on the basepaths? Good heavens can we just keep the guy at first, please?
June 11th, 2009 at 7:41 pm
Thats 4 singles and 3 steals for David Wright in 13 innings. He is a Phillie Killer.
Moyer threw 16 pitches in first. 16 in second.
Feliz, Coste and Moyer for Phillies.
June 11th, 2009 at 7:41 pm
That’s a fair assessment of my mentioned quote, and I’m sorry if you were offended. I believe that it is a point of view that is shared amongst most fans, so I will stand by that. Do I regret posting it? Judging from your sensitive reaction, I do now.
Although what you say is true about the word “dislike,” it can only mean “hate” if the user feels that way. Since you cannot ascertain whether or not I meant to use the word “hate” instead of “dislike,” you have to presume what I mean or take me for my word. If you want to take me for my word, then take this: I chose the word “dislike” deliberately and mean just that.
June 11th, 2009 at 7:41 pm
Miles whats the difference between what Jeff said, and maybe him coming on here and saying something like… Philly fans are drunks that are overly rambunctious? Just curious.
June 11th, 2009 at 7:42 pm
j reed i have NO idea. Maybe it is just a mental thing. Obviously we CAN score off of him since we put up the 7 earned last year that Tim mentioned in the original post. My best guess is that guys are trying to hit home runs and should just be looking for a gap or trying to swing up the middle.
June 11th, 2009 at 7:43 pm
Because I expect that out of Mets fans Brian….I just think its dumb that someone who at least appears to be a Phillies fan would be that upset at Charlie, Jamie, etc. It’s a first place team that just won a WS so the complainers need to get a grip. That’s my main beef…
June 11th, 2009 at 7:43 pm
Dan I. is being seemingly consistent with his strike zone. So far, so good.
June 11th, 2009 at 7:44 pm
Alright Pedro. First hit for Phillies tonight.
June 11th, 2009 at 7:45 pm
I must leave now. Good night, Phillies Nation.
I’ll leave by saying that the bloop attack is being reciprocated by the Phillies tonight.
June 11th, 2009 at 7:45 pm
Atta baby Pedro….way to be on your oh so slow horse!
June 11th, 2009 at 7:45 pm
There we go Coste!
June 11th, 2009 at 7:45 pm
Coste with the pop up single. 1st and 3rd no outs for Moyer. Cmon Jamie!!!
June 11th, 2009 at 7:45 pm
Damn!
June 11th, 2009 at 7:46 pm
j roll batting leadoff again – why????
dont understand why they keep him leadoff when he has much better success batting 5th or 6th…so annoying
June 11th, 2009 at 7:46 pm
interesting bunt
June 11th, 2009 at 7:46 pm
David, honestly the thing I took offense to was not what you said about Werth at all. That as everything else is your opinion, what I do take offense to is you coming onto a Phillies only site (only meaning not associated with MLB.com, or any other team but I respect your right to be on here and comment). Back to it though, I take offense to you coming on here and calling me a drunk that is [are] overly rambunctious.
June 11th, 2009 at 7:46 pm
Not Coste’s fault there….Jamie has to get that on the ground. Time for Jimmy to go big or go home (NO BUNTING JIMMY!)
June 11th, 2009 at 7:47 pm
Moyer bunt pops out. Not a good move because Moyer is slow and a grounder by Rollins will result in a DP.
June 11th, 2009 at 7:47 pm
I shall be cautious then of judging Phillies fan, and remain objective. You’re absolutely right in that regard, Brian of CO.
Good night!
June 11th, 2009 at 7:47 pm
come on Jimmy
June 11th, 2009 at 7:48 pm
For during commercials- Major League II is on channel 61.
June 11th, 2009 at 7:48 pm
Rollins gets the job done
June 11th, 2009 at 7:48 pm
Good boy Jimmy. Good boy.
June 11th, 2009 at 7:49 pm
nice sac fly rollins.
June 11th, 2009 at 7:50 pm
Ahh, small ball. the forgotten art.
June 11th, 2009 at 7:51 pm
Thanks for understanding that part David the Mets fan.
June 11th, 2009 at 7:52 pm
The Indians just traded Jack Parkman for Tanaka. Parkman was just not a right fit for the Indians. Threw off the chemistry. I think Rube Baker can handle catching for the year.
June 11th, 2009 at 7:53 pm
Ok, we won a game yesterday, if we win today, that is back to back games. If we win tomorrow, we got ourselves a winning streak!
June 11th, 2009 at 7:54 pm
The pitcher is retired! Apparently there is still at least one thing Jamie can do that Cole cannot (at least in this series haha).
June 11th, 2009 at 7:55 pm
Does it make me less of a fan because I am totally sucked into Major League 2, and I am watching that instead of the Phillies game?
June 11th, 2009 at 7:55 pm
Nice throw, Raul
June 11th, 2009 at 7:57 pm
Whoooaaaa Pedro! I still can’t believe he made that error in the L.A. game. That might have been the most shocked I’ve been by something that happened in one of our games all year. Chan Ho’s two shutout innings last night were a close second.
June 11th, 2009 at 7:58 pm
No Morris it is baseball related and a great movie….although it is Mets/Phils dude, so that doesn’t help your cause.
June 11th, 2009 at 7:58 pm
Red Sox just went up one on the Yankees. I wonder if the Yankees knew about CC’s history of meltdowns in pressure situations. CC’s wikipedia page is pretty funny.
June 11th, 2009 at 7:59 pm
there goes the tie
June 11th, 2009 at 7:59 pm
Miles, I think everyone was (pleasantly) surprised by Chan Ho’s outing yesterday.
June 11th, 2009 at 8:00 pm
Ugh…Beltran took three pitches that were dangerously close and then got his pitch. That is so tough. Jamie has a hard time getting guys with that much discipline out.
June 11th, 2009 at 8:00 pm
For the most part this year, it has been hard to watch Jaime pitch.
June 11th, 2009 at 8:00 pm
Well only gave up 1 run in that inning.
June 11th, 2009 at 8:03 pm
I would say it was hard to watch Jamie pitch against the Dodgers and Mets the first time around. The other outings he gave up 4 or less, and the Offense is usually stagnant when Jamie is on the mound. I am more afraid of the Offense only scoring 1 or 2 when Moyer pitches then I am of him pitching.
June 11th, 2009 at 8:04 pm
Completely agree Morris, i always feel like he’s going to get shelled
June 11th, 2009 at 8:07 pm
Usually, I don’t like watching Jamie pitch just because everything is so slow and the game feels soooo long…
June 11th, 2009 at 8:07 pm
Moyer got shelled against the Mets and Dodgers the first time around against both teams, other than that he has hovered around 3-4 runs in about 6 innings, which isnt horrible. His ERA is high because he REALLY got shelled those outings. The major problem seems to be, when Moyer Pitches, the Offense for some reason is COLD.
June 11th, 2009 at 8:08 pm
offense waiting for the later innings to make us smile
June 11th, 2009 at 8:09 pm
Its not very often than we have Utley, Howard and Ibanez up to bat and all 3 go out in order honestly, but sadly, it seems the norm with Moyer on the mound.
June 11th, 2009 at 8:10 pm
Predictable outing so far from Moyer, why oh why can we not hit Redding?
June 11th, 2009 at 8:12 pm
wow Wright is out!
June 11th, 2009 at 8:12 pm
Brian that wasn’t the case at the beginning of the season and for almost all of last year so its an interesting turn. I’m not sure why, maybe unfavorable matchups? (Like Redding….unbelievable).
HOLY LORD! RAAUUUUUUUULLLL!
June 11th, 2009 at 8:12 pm
RAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUULLLL!!!
June 11th, 2009 at 8:12 pm
RAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUL
June 11th, 2009 at 8:13 pm
Bad base running by David Wright? or a great play by RAUL? or both?
June 11th, 2009 at 8:15 pm
well thats the only way jamie is getting wright out, he owns moyer
June 11th, 2009 at 8:16 pm
Great play by Raul…perfect throw was the only way of getting him
June 11th, 2009 at 8:19 pm
couldnt tell, because I cant watch the game, and MLB.com said single then thrown out. Made it sound like poor baserunning also, but hard to tell, thats why I ask. Try not to assume.
June 11th, 2009 at 8:19 pm
now for the offense to erupt like crazy
Werth-Feliz-Coste (all getting hits with Moyer hitting a sweet grandslam)
June 11th, 2009 at 8:19 pm
I don’t think it was bad baserunning….honestly I was surprised he was there as quickly as he was. That was a cannon. Summoning the inner Pat Burrell Met Killer inside of him.
Also, I have no idea how the Mets didn’t score that inning.
June 11th, 2009 at 8:21 pm
I’m so bored between innings because I’m used to watching the Mets on Gamecast until we come back on.
June 11th, 2009 at 8:22 pm
miles – yeah, we play good small ball when we want to….there’s times when I think the management ought to enforce this esp. when the pitcher isn’t exactly dealing…i know cholly’s a player’s coach which is good for the general psychology of team, (you know the “intangibles”, like “pickin the next guy up” ) and I think its what people under estimate about us…on the downside it sometimes gets a little to “montessori” for me esp. when poor plate discipline (which is not governed by the Law of Averages) results in low RISP numbers that can cost us a game. With our rotation in question, pitching may not offset the short comings of our streaky offense… manufacturing runs can help turn those potenial losses to wins. Ironic when you think that one of our greastest is considered the game’s best slap hitter. But it looks like they are playing some small ball tonight…
June 11th, 2009 at 8:22 pm
Its seems (again only through the mlb.com feed on the internet) Moyer is bending, but not quite breaking). 2 runs in 4 innings isnt bad. Obviously every fan always wants the starting pitching to not give up any runs, but be honest, thats not usually realistic. Lets hope he goes another 2 innings with no more runs given up.
June 11th, 2009 at 8:22 pm
will Werth steal?
June 11th, 2009 at 8:23 pm
nvm
June 11th, 2009 at 8:24 pm
well he can steal 3rd
June 11th, 2009 at 8:25 pm
Well at least he moved Werth up. I think Werth is fast enough to score from 2nd depending on the hit, so hopefully we tie this thing up as a minimum.
June 11th, 2009 at 8:26 pm
gonna need Moyer to blast a hit
June 11th, 2009 at 8:26 pm
he is due for a big hit, come on Jamie
June 11th, 2009 at 8:26 pm
damn, and he didnt even move up.
June 11th, 2009 at 8:27 pm
miles – meant to say ….”when the pitcher is dealing”
June 11th, 2009 at 8:27 pm
When was the last time Moyer hit a homer? LOL. Probably 10 years ago.
June 11th, 2009 at 8:27 pm
oh well, that was kind of a waste of an error.
June 11th, 2009 at 8:29 pm
tomorrow starts today
June 11th, 2009 at 8:29 pm
damn draft song is stuck in my head
June 11th, 2009 at 8:30 pm
nice Castillo
June 11th, 2009 at 8:31 pm
oh look a Mets troll
June 11th, 2009 at 8:32 pm
Moyer actually never hit a homer…he has 12 rbi in his entire career.
June 11th, 2009 at 8:33 pm
hello Keith
June 11th, 2009 at 8:33 pm
Lenny Dykstra liked being a Phillie more than a Met!
June 11th, 2009 at 8:33 pm
poor Moyer, he needs to hit one
June 11th, 2009 at 8:33 pm
bears will get u Shitarino
June 11th, 2009 at 8:35 pm
not liking this Castillo/Beltran combo
June 11th, 2009 at 8:35 pm
DAMNIT!
June 11th, 2009 at 8:36 pm
You think we’d be able to score more against a stiff like Tim Redding!
June 11th, 2009 at 8:36 pm
I love to hit Moyer. He so much fun. Its better then eating at Taco Bell..Yummy dog there too…
June 11th, 2009 at 8:37 pm
k next inning–Rollins doubles, Victorino triples, Utley singles, Howard homers, Ibanez walks, Werth walks, Feliz doubles, Coste HBP, Moyer homers
June 11th, 2009 at 8:40 pm
since Sheffield used the cream does that mean he’s in the same boat with Bonds, Clemens, and the rest?
June 11th, 2009 at 8:40 pm
Thats pretty funny Keith. Well, only one in that inning.
June 11th, 2009 at 8:41 pm
Didnt Sheffield already admit to using steroids in the past?
June 11th, 2009 at 8:41 pm
greg v. – i know… Redding…you can be comforted by the fact that the Mets bought this pitcher just for us cuz other than when pitching aganist us he’s but a scrub.
June 11th, 2009 at 8:43 pm
Well J-Roll gets a hit. Hopefully we get at least one back this inning, preferrably tie it up!
June 11th, 2009 at 8:44 pm
wow that didnt like it was in the same time zone of the strike zone on mlb.com
June 11th, 2009 at 8:44 pm
what cream, if there is a steroid in it, its probably for its anti-inflammatory purposes…never heard of an cutaneous anabolic steroid
June 11th, 2009 at 8:44 pm
Sheffield shouldn’t make the HOF if the others aren’t gonna make it
June 11th, 2009 at 8:46 pm
Chase!!!!!!
June 11th, 2009 at 8:46 pm
Utley double
June 11th, 2009 at 8:46 pm
k so I switched Rollins and Utley
June 11th, 2009 at 8:48 pm
come on Rauuuuuuul
June 11th, 2009 at 8:48 pm
Ryan “the high cheese” Howard strikes again….
June 11th, 2009 at 8:49 pm
hmm, esp, minus one for everything Keith?
June 11th, 2009 at 8:50 pm
oh well lol
June 11th, 2009 at 8:50 pm
Well Ibanez playing out of his mind was fun while it lasted…hopefully he can keep his average above 300
June 11th, 2009 at 8:50 pm
man, cant hit redding, he would probably win the cy young every year if he got to face the phillies every time
June 11th, 2009 at 8:51 pm
Back to Victorino’s at bat. I cant see it, but was it smart to swing at a 2-1 pitch which appeared to be outside the strike zone? Again I cant see if it really was outside the strikezone.
June 11th, 2009 at 8:53 pm
If the Mets release Redding, the Phils should pick him up just so he doesn’t pitch against them anymore. For some reason he seems to always do well against them.
June 11th, 2009 at 8:53 pm
did I hear a go Phillies chant?
June 11th, 2009 at 8:53 pm
Jamie is better off walking Wright…
June 11th, 2009 at 8:53 pm
and Wright gets another hit
June 11th, 2009 at 8:53 pm
We may never retire David Wright again….
June 11th, 2009 at 8:54 pm
yea no kidding he keeps pumping 88mph fastballs by the hitters, very frustrating
June 11th, 2009 at 8:54 pm
DP!
June 11th, 2009 at 8:54 pm
Double play hos!
June 11th, 2009 at 8:54 pm
Wright is hitting 667 this series…anyone going to figure out that maybe you should pitch around him? Just wondering.
June 11th, 2009 at 8:55 pm
Haha! This reminds me of the Vladimir Guerrero days when he was with Montreal and the Phillies NEVER got him out!
June 11th, 2009 at 8:56 pm
Ed R.- looked at Raul’s stituational stats. from 2003 to 2008…he slows around this time but not drastically..Looks like July and Aug. is when his stats. get a little ugly.
June 11th, 2009 at 8:56 pm
Brian it looked like it was in the zone to me, but the real problem is that it was offspeed and not the pitch he should have been looking for. Gotta find a way to hit one hard there.
Nice DP btw, although once again a blown call at first. Do these umps ever get disciplined for consistent bad umpiring?
June 11th, 2009 at 8:56 pm
who will be the first Phillies starter to get their 5th win? they keep failing
June 11th, 2009 at 8:56 pm
solid outing for moyer cant ask for much more than he gave the phils tonight
June 11th, 2009 at 8:57 pm
Nice DP but DAvid Wright is no doubt a “Single” machine. Moyer has pitched past 100 pitches. 6IP, 8H, 3R, 3ER. Quality start. Hopefully he doesn’t get the loss. Moyer reduces ERA to 6.14.
June 11th, 2009 at 8:58 pm
He definately pitched his kind of game.
June 11th, 2009 at 8:58 pm
Well Jamie has certainly had starts where his line was worse then how he actually pitched but I do believe tonight was the opposite.
He could have very easily given up 4-5 runs in this game but kudos to him for at least getting outs with guys on third so that those two runs were at least traded for outs. That kept it close. Now let’s go out there, get a couple of runs, and get the old man a W!
June 11th, 2009 at 8:58 pm
Yeah, not a bad outing at all from Moyer. Pick him up!
June 11th, 2009 at 9:00 pm
9 more outs for Phillies. Cmon.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:00 pm
Wow Redding doesn’t even have 80 pitches….
June 11th, 2009 at 9:02 pm
I would use Stairs here if I were Charlie but I guess he disagrees. They don’t have a lefty up so there is no way they could burn him.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:02 pm
nice double Coste
June 11th, 2009 at 9:02 pm
STAIRS!! PLEASE CHARLIE
June 11th, 2009 at 9:03 pm
pgd: okay-no dumb ABs, just need run
June 11th, 2009 at 9:03 pm
Yes Charlie….I am very pleased with your change of plans.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:04 pm
i know man all i want is a flyball, not dobbs and his pop ups against the dodgers in this situation
June 11th, 2009 at 9:04 pm
Ok, so 1 out, 2nd and 3rd for stairs. Can we at least tie this damn thing up.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:05 pm
pgd: that wasn’t directed at you, forgot to delete your name from another comment about Moyer with which I agreed
June 11th, 2009 at 9:05 pm
happy day
June 11th, 2009 at 9:06 pm
alright Stairs
June 11th, 2009 at 9:06 pm
o gotcha ill take the groundout no complaints
June 11th, 2009 at 9:07 pm
I’ll take that in a heartbeat….I would have been sweating bullets with Rollins up and the bases juiced.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:08 pm
great another phillie killer in the mets pen.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:08 pm
ROLLINS no damn discipline at the plate take a walk once in your life
June 11th, 2009 at 9:08 pm
ah well. tie is good. we made it work last night.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:10 pm
a quality start for Moyer, will Geoff give him any love?
June 11th, 2009 at 9:11 pm
oh no! i didn’t see the last out …was it a good jimmie swing or evil (gonna hit it to Canada) jimmie swing?
June 11th, 2009 at 9:11 pm
good point Miles, Had Stairs walked and Rollins done the same thing, we may not have scored at all. So what we are looking at is a no decision at best for Moyer. Scared to see Condrey up but Moyer only gave up 3er in 6 IP. Not ideal, but still not a bad start really at all.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:13 pm
j reed is was a very evil swing, swung at ball 4 up 3-1 in the count
June 11th, 2009 at 9:14 pm
@Brian: It’s a respectable performance for Moyer, and improves his ERA for the season. Still, I’d like to see him get his 251st W
June 11th, 2009 at 9:14 pm
Well done Condrey.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:16 pm
nice inning Condrey
June 11th, 2009 at 9:18 pm
I agree Tracey, and I am very glad to not see a bunch of Moyer bashing on here. Ive been supporting him this whole time, and normally, most games he pitches, whether he gives up 2 or 10, its nothing but “here we go again” and “geezer need to retire” Glad to see a quality outing, and glad to see levelheadedness tonight toward “the teacher”
June 11th, 2009 at 9:18 pm
Shane has had a terrible series offensively. I would have loved for him to get something going there with the lefties coming up.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:19 pm
pgd: can’t we just brainwash this guy to be a contact hitter?
June 11th, 2009 at 9:19 pm
AH bad call on that outside slider….give those to us too Dan!
June 11th, 2009 at 9:20 pm
i wish man his .260 obp is really killin me
June 11th, 2009 at 9:21 pm
take feliciano the other way
June 11th, 2009 at 9:22 pm
Come on Raul!
June 11th, 2009 at 9:23 pm
DAMN. Whats up with Raul lately?
June 11th, 2009 at 9:23 pm
that’s weak Raul
June 11th, 2009 at 9:24 pm
maybe those comments about him are affecting him mentally
June 11th, 2009 at 9:24 pm
Not sure Brian but I’m counting on him to find the stroke again at home. Fingers are crossed.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:25 pm
pdg: heard for players wih minimium of 200 ABs he’s last or close to it. Is it true Wagner is coming back to the Mets. Scary if he can transition to a 8th inning set-up role and his velocity is back.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:26 pm
I think PGD is correct, I think the blogger thing is getting to him. I have faith he will come back.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:27 pm
pdg: that’s “…he’s last or close to having the lowest OBP in the league”
June 11th, 2009 at 9:27 pm
that a boy condrey
June 11th, 2009 at 9:27 pm
Go Bullpen
June 11th, 2009 at 9:27 pm
OK: The bats need to get to work, because I don’t want another long night!
June 11th, 2009 at 9:28 pm
did moyer go the full 6 innings tonight?? (i missed the middle of the game)
June 11th, 2009 at 9:28 pm
Man can anyone figure out our pen? Condrey looked terrible for two straight outings and then came out and retired the Mets without breaking a sweat for two straight innings. I seriously never know what we are going to get on any given day by anyone but MadDog.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:28 pm
MARK MY WORDS! IF we get through this inning and IF they bring K-Rod back in and we score a run, and win in the ninth, I will buy a beer for those people who have posted in the last hour, next time I am back in Philly for a game. We need to hit K-Rod, and win in the 9th though. But I will buy a beer for the roughly 10-15 people on here.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:29 pm
yea wouldnt doubt it, hes not getting on base, not hitting for avg, and not hitting for power, good thing he plays great defense
June 11th, 2009 at 9:30 pm
So much for the beer offer.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:30 pm
Clay Condrey is one of the biggest assets to this bullpen! He can throw anywhere and do alright!
June 11th, 2009 at 9:31 pm
@TK: Yes, 3 ER in 6.0 innings.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:31 pm
another hit for Feliz
June 11th, 2009 at 9:31 pm
I’m back!
The Phillies bullpen is looking sharp. It seems as if the Mets bullpen has to meticulously pick every pitch it throws to the Phillies hitters while Clay Condrey can throw cake at Mets hitters and induce a ground-out every time! The more the games trudges along, the more it seems like the Phils are going to win; just an inclination.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:31 pm
Miles: the baseball gods like to torture us
June 11th, 2009 at 9:32 pm
man Feliz is enfuego
June 11th, 2009 at 9:33 pm
Why not the lefty bako here? lefties crushed him last night
June 11th, 2009 at 9:34 pm
Dobbs
June 11th, 2009 at 9:34 pm
where’d this Parnell cat come from…call up?
June 11th, 2009 at 9:34 pm
David, I hope you are right, I just think a lot of that goes with the clubs mentality, Phillies are playing with confidence of champions and the Mets really do not have an identity as of yet.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:34 pm
This at-bat, Dobbs v. Parnell, I believe, is the defining moment of the game.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:35 pm
I meant that as in why not put bako in for coste. You still have a catcher in and get a lefty swinging against this Parnell guy who was giving up bebe’s to lefties last night
June 11th, 2009 at 9:35 pm
Well David the Mets fan, as a Phillies fan, I you are correct with you inclination, sadly, I have the opposite inclination for some reason.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:36 pm
crap, they’re actually catching the ball tonight
June 11th, 2009 at 9:37 pm
Regardless of the outcome of this series, I think that Mets have impressed the Phillies with their ability to compete without Delgado, Putz, and Reyes. I am psyched about the rest of the season.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:37 pm
oh crap. Durbin.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:38 pm
Chad Durbin vs David Wright, Fernando Tatis and Fernando Martinez
Tough matchup – If Durbin allows 0 runs this inning to send it to extras this could be the turning point.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:39 pm
Well Chan Ho was able to do it.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:39 pm
Finally wright gets out.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:39 pm
Adam-
I know…I mean is Backo a bad backstop? I’d gone with the righty-lefty match-up…Durbin…get out your rosary beads.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:41 pm
david, the mets fan, regardless of the year, regardless of the which team is playing which way, and when these series are always like this, and I dont think it has anything to do with who is playing and not. Its just the rivalry.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:41 pm
well, durbin did his job. cant ask for more than that
June 11th, 2009 at 9:42 pm
If this game goes to extra innings, the chances of the Phillies winning go up, at least, five fold. The Mets do not have the “come-from-behind” mentality that the Phillies do.
I want to be optimistic about the Mets winning this game, but after watching the post-2006 Mets struggle when behind or tied in a game year after year, it’s rather difficult.
Charlie must really want this game if he took Durbin out of the game with two outs in the ninth!
June 11th, 2009 at 9:44 pm
good idea Cholly…Durbin’s got the “2 outs now I’ll walk some batters curse” …here comes Scott “the pig farmer” Eyre
June 11th, 2009 at 9:44 pm
Nice job by Chad Durbin getting Wright and Tatis out. Eyre comes in to face Fernando Martinez. No one on and 2 outs.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:44 pm
nice catch Feliz
June 11th, 2009 at 9:45 pm
how do you say “vaccuum cleaner” in spanish
June 11th, 2009 at 9:45 pm
These games are so nuts. Im gonna have a heart attack.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:46 pm
Ok, lets get this one now. Maybe someone besides Utley will step up. Did any of the runs scored for either team tonight come on a hit, or were they all Sac’s
June 11th, 2009 at 9:48 pm
okay, please good jimmie no evil jimmie get on base a swipe us some bags
June 11th, 2009 at 9:48 pm
Utley hit a RBI double earlier
June 11th, 2009 at 9:48 pm
Utley doubled a run in
June 11th, 2009 at 9:48 pm
Eli, I already have 2 ulcers from the last two nights, getting a third now, Hopefully I stay with Ulcers now and not a Heart Attack. Knock on wood.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:48 pm
its like the Bulls vs. the Celtics series
June 11th, 2009 at 9:49 pm
Figures it was Utley again. Someone else need to step up.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:49 pm
Takahashi in the bullpen warming up??
Good night, fellas.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:49 pm
swingin at ball 4…. again
June 11th, 2009 at 9:49 pm
nah that was a strike
June 11th, 2009 at 9:50 pm
Rollins gets ahead 3-0 but takes the next 2 for called strikes before popping out to Wright in Foul Territory. Started great and ended horribly.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:50 pm
6 hole for rollins or the bench for a day….horrible at bat
June 11th, 2009 at 9:50 pm
well at least for this at bat, hes battling! From mlb.com I dont get how the 3rd ball was a ball, yet pitch 4 was a strike. They seemed opposite. Damn Rollins. Hopefully Victorinow or Utley does something.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:51 pm
hit for Victorino!
June 11th, 2009 at 9:51 pm
really i thought it was a little high, anyways i know its a tough pitch to layoff but jimmy swinging at balls is just a constant theme
June 11th, 2009 at 9:52 pm
Sweet. come on Now Utley. Double maybe?
June 11th, 2009 at 9:52 pm
i hate when batters swing at ball 4. thats the most annoying thing to watch!…we could have had 1st and 2nd with no outs…good job jimmy!!
June 11th, 2009 at 9:52 pm
Keith- i don’t know, has the ump been calling the high strike? looked like a ball to me
June 11th, 2009 at 9:53 pm
jimmy started swinging great in the 6 hole i dont know why charlie felt compelled to move him back to leadoff
June 11th, 2009 at 9:54 pm
one of those pitches that’s too close to not swing I’d say, oh well
June 11th, 2009 at 9:54 pm
exactly PGD…i agree
June 11th, 2009 at 9:56 pm
alright Utley
June 11th, 2009 at 9:56 pm
Double Steal?
June 11th, 2009 at 9:57 pm
never mind, not with Howard up being a lefty.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:57 pm
agreed this guy has a slow delivery
June 11th, 2009 at 9:58 pm
ah Howard goes down again
June 11th, 2009 at 9:59 pm
figures. God job Howard.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:59 pm
not “the high cheese” again. agrh!
June 11th, 2009 at 9:59 pm
Raul is due
June 11th, 2009 at 9:59 pm
I wonder what will be higher at the end of the year…Howards average or his Strike Outs?
Now would be a good time for Ibanez to extend his 11 game hitting streak!
June 11th, 2009 at 10:00 pm
Well it seems, whenever you have a 1-2 pitch to howard, give him a high pitch out of the strike zone. gets hims every time.
June 11th, 2009 at 10:00 pm
RAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUL
June 11th, 2009 at 10:00 pm
Yeah Raul!
June 11th, 2009 at 10:00 pm
RAUL!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 11th, 2009 at 10:00 pm
IN THE CLUTCH!!! AGAIN
June 11th, 2009 at 10:00 pm

June 11th, 2009 at 10:01 pm
RAUULLLLLLLLLLL!
June 11th, 2009 at 10:01 pm
RAUUUUUUUULLLLLLLL
June 11th, 2009 at 10:01 pm
Is this man serious?
June 11th, 2009 at 10:01 pm
Joedad, I like you, you can stay. LOL
June 11th, 2009 at 10:01 pm
RAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 11th, 2009 at 10:01 pm
MVP! MVP! MVP!
June 11th, 2009 at 10:01 pm
wow that ball was at his feet
June 11th, 2009 at 10:02 pm
I agree SDO. MVP MVP MVP!
June 11th, 2009 at 10:02 pm
11 game hitting streak kept alive. he was due.
June 11th, 2009 at 10:03 pm
Raul = High Class, Hard working, CLUTCH
June 11th, 2009 at 10:03 pm
okay, let’s not piss off the baseball gods….it ain’t over yet.
June 11th, 2009 at 10:03 pm
The Iggs may have kicked Javon Kearse to the curb but I think it’s time we can say The Freaks back in Philly!
RAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUULLLLLLL!!
June 11th, 2009 at 10:04 pm
damn those mets fans really cleared out after that
June 11th, 2009 at 10:04 pm
Raaauuuuuuuul baby baby
June 11th, 2009 at 10:04 pm
Just when everyone is wondering what happened to him and if the blogger got to him. I really need to order the Raul Jersey.
June 11th, 2009 at 10:04 pm
.322, 21HRS, 58RBI now for RAAAAUUUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLLL
June 11th, 2009 at 10:05 pm
gotta love raul!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 11th, 2009 at 10:05 pm
Is Raul the most clutch Phillie ever or what?
June 11th, 2009 at 10:05 pm
Raul was due and he delivered
June 11th, 2009 at 10:05 pm
I agree J Reed. It aint over till the fat man sings, and I aint singing yet. (I know its usually fat lady, but I didnt want to piss anyone off, so I figured I would bash myself.)
June 11th, 2009 at 10:06 pm
Alright lets get a 4 game lead on the Mets and head back to Philly for 9 games against Red Sox, Blue Jays and Orioles!! At the game tomorrow!!!
June 11th, 2009 at 10:06 pm
Raul is the “I” in Team hahaha.
June 11th, 2009 at 10:06 pm
MAD DOG. Keep this going baby!
June 11th, 2009 at 10:06 pm
I’m beginning to HATE Raul Ibanez Drugs or not.Lesson learned today,NEVER send in a Sushi Chef to do the job of a pitcher.Gary Cohen even went as far as saying the best free agent signing of the winter.INCLUDING Texiera
June 11th, 2009 at 10:06 pm
Speaking of fans clearing out…not sure if anyone has seen highlights of any Rays games but it looks like they are back to their customary 1000 fans per game. Glad to see they are full of true fans.
June 11th, 2009 at 10:07 pm
Ryan Madson in for his 4th save
June 11th, 2009 at 10:07 pm
Too bad it wasnt against K-Rod, because everyone on here would have gotten a beer.
June 11th, 2009 at 10:07 pm
here we go madson! shut it down!!
June 11th, 2009 at 10:07 pm
So am I the only one who feels 100% better having MadDog in here? I’m not expecting at least 2 runners to get on anymore.
June 11th, 2009 at 10:08 pm
no fooling around Madson
June 11th, 2009 at 10:08 pm
crap.
June 11th, 2009 at 10:09 pm
had to come on and say Raullllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
actually get to watch it on extra innings
now it is time for madson to shut it down
June 11th, 2009 at 10:09 pm
As bad as it seems for the Mets,it wasn’t the worst case scenerio.Worst case was a sweep and Cy Johan prevented that from happening.But as sure as the Mets milked away the Division in 2007,we all know its far from over,and looking forward for the next 4 months of good baseball.
June 11th, 2009 at 10:10 pm
I am confident in Madson Adam, not not that much more confident.

okay, i don’t care whose winning or losing…i think its low brow when TV cameramen pan to a pitcher after something like that…unless he’s been throwing at your team or its Papelbond…how’d he hit that with that bloop hit ichro swing….those butthead bloggers will be busy tonight….let’s go mad dog
June 11th, 2009 at 10:10 pm
madson is calm for a closer. i like it.
June 11th, 2009 at 10:11 pm
You know it, Grrrumpy. This has been an absolutely fantastic series. If they meet in the playoffs, it’s going to be a classic.
June 11th, 2009 at 10:11 pm
considering the Mets were like 13 games down at the All Star break last year and came back, its far from over.
June 11th, 2009 at 10:12 pm
minor heart attack-pitchers throwing to second usually is a throw to the centerfielder
June 11th, 2009 at 10:12 pm
is that even true? were they 13 out? i thought it was more like 5 or 6.
June 11th, 2009 at 10:13 pm
it worked out but I don’t like throwing to second there with 3 run lead, but it work. Brings back memories of Mariona against the d backs in ws
June 11th, 2009 at 10:13 pm
Put this one in the win column!
June 11th, 2009 at 10:13 pm
Game, set, match. Keep it up, boys.
June 11th, 2009 at 10:13 pm
NASTY!!
June 11th, 2009 at 10:13 pm
Mad Dog knows his stuffs on and gets it, nothing cute just throwing strikes.
June 11th, 2009 at 10:13 pm
Woot woot
June 11th, 2009 at 10:13 pm
Phillies win
June 11th, 2009 at 10:13 pm
SWEET!
June 11th, 2009 at 10:14 pm
bullpen was phenomenal tonight, 4 innings 1 hit 0er
June 11th, 2009 at 10:14 pm
Well,you took 2 of 3 from the Amazins on their home turf.Its still far from over.Four games can dwindle just as quick.
June 11th, 2009 at 10:14 pm
take a seat mets
June 11th, 2009 at 10:14 pm
Good night and game over.
Let’s go home and win a series…or three.
June 11th, 2009 at 10:14 pm
What a win! What a series! What a roadtrip!
June 11th, 2009 at 10:14 pm
fabulous!!! and now on to the BoSox!! See ya’ll at the field sunday!
June 11th, 2009 at 10:15 pm
big save Mad Dog
great series in shty field
great bull pen
Moyer pitched like moyer should pitch 6 innings 8 hits 3 runs kept us in the game and almost perfect pen outing today even Durbin dominated
great 2 out of three
Bring on the Sox
June 11th, 2009 at 10:15 pm
4 up in the division… first time this year I think right?
June 11th, 2009 at 10:16 pm
LOL@ THE METS TROLLS! PHILLIES WIN!
RAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUL!
June 11th, 2009 at 10:16 pm
I would LOVE to see a Mets/Phillies NLCS.You would have to tear down the walls in this room.I would hope tho (likely won’t happen) fans of both sides act a little classiy.Excitable but classy and have a good view of the game.
June 11th, 2009 at 10:16 pm
Phillies win 6-3. Phillies now 35-23 and they have a 4 game lead over the Mets and I think 6 or 6.5 over the Braves. Eyre gets the win and is now 1-1. Madson records his 4th save. Bobby Parnell gets the loss. To be honest Phillies could have gone 10-0 on the road trip. But they still go 7-3 and raise their road record to 23-9. They now head home for a 9 game homestead interleague style. First up Boston for 3 games. Lester vs Blanton tom at 7:05pm. i’ll be at the game tom so see anyone there. GO PHILLIES!!!
June 11th, 2009 at 10:16 pm
phillies hitters have their work cut out for them now, lester, matsuzaka, beckett, and halladay in 4 out of the next 6 games
June 11th, 2009 at 10:17 pm
well Mad Dog wanted to be a closer and he got his wish, and he is coming through. Raul for the Ashburn AGAIN.
June 11th, 2009 at 10:18 pm
Phillies beat the Amazins in the series 2-1…..OK We move on next is a reeling Yankee team.
June 11th, 2009 at 10:19 pm
It was like watching a giant toilet flush, and Raul pulled the lever.
June 11th, 2009 at 10:19 pm
Now we were 4 games up I think 2 weeks ago because we swept the Padres and the Mets were swept by the Pirates.
June 11th, 2009 at 10:20 pm
Bring on the Red Sox. Our nation will beat up your nation.
June 11th, 2009 at 10:21 pm
I meant no not now.
June 11th, 2009 at 10:21 pm
Raul for Asburn obviously, he played left field like he lives out there another assist throwing Wright out at second great game, I guess once Felicty pitches they have no one to get phillies out except K Rod. JB against the sox Tomorrow,
June 11th, 2009 at 10:21 pm
now let’s take it to those Pink Sox!
June 11th, 2009 at 10:24 pm
too bad he didnt hit that in the 5th to give Moyer the win.
June 11th, 2009 at 10:24 pm
RAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 11th, 2009 at 10:25 pm
Greatest-free-agent-acquisition-ever.
June 11th, 2009 at 10:27 pm
a little worry though…from 04 to 08 raul’s numbers against the Sox are not his most stellar…actually it ’s the one AL team that consistently owned him. no matter, raul for president
June 11th, 2009 at 10:27 pm
While Im in the middle of praising Raul for being a BEAST, thank you to Jamie Moyer for having a quality outing only giving up 3 runs.
June 11th, 2009 at 10:29 pm
Go home Grrumpy…Your team are a bunch of losers. We got the boys to win again. You can try and keep up.
June 11th, 2009 at 10:33 pm
Mike, chill. I approve of Grumpy. He’s been a fine commenter for some time.
June 11th, 2009 at 10:34 pm
Mike….I stand by my Mets…WIN OR LOSE,Oh and BTW Tim,Good Job on KFC Pre Game Live.
June 11th, 2009 at 10:35 pm
You know what’s awesome?
Before 2005, when the Phillies would tie a game late, or load ‘em down by 3 in the 8th, or the like, you expected the worse–the big letdown.
Since then? You have confidence in the team. In individual players. In the manager.
This is a team of gamers–enjoy it. A team like this is special.
June 11th, 2009 at 10:43 pm
pgd: yeah I agree about the Sox…that rotation is solid thru and thru…hope these guys can manufacture runs cause unless some these hurlers are lacking their quality stuff, runs wil be hard to come by….J-roll needs to wake up and plays like he knows how…of any team they are the most scary.
June 11th, 2009 at 10:45 pm
Personally I would like to see J-Roll move down in the lineup away from leadoff. He always seems to hit MUCH better when he isnt lead off this year.
June 11th, 2009 at 10:47 pm
I dont make a habit of defending Mutts fans, but Grumpy has never really been plat out rude or ignorant. He is one of the few Mutts on here fans that talks solid baseball, and doesnt just smack talk. He seems to call the good and bad for both teams.
June 11th, 2009 at 10:49 pm
anyone remember that spring training game with the Sox where beckett stepped-up to howard? i’ll give beckett kudos for moxy…howard’s a big boy even minus the 25 lbs. imagine if that were to happen a CBP?
June 11th, 2009 at 10:50 pm
Yeah, Grumppy is a solid Mets fan, feel bad for him from time to time though..hA
June 11th, 2009 at 10:54 pm
seems to be a solid matchup. The Phils are damn near unstoppable on the road, and the Sox are damn near unstoppable at home. Where as, the Phils suck at CBP, and the sox suck away from Fenway. LOL. Hears to praying we are better away then they are at home! GO PHILS!
June 11th, 2009 at 10:57 pm
Brain of CO: agreed about Grumpy…i haven’t been here long but from what I read he seems the type of guy who you could talk to at game cuz you love baseball…besides the baseball gods do not reward excessive gloating or hubris..baseball gods like humility..
June 11th, 2009 at 11:00 pm
The Philles are the scary team folks.
June 11th, 2009 at 11:03 pm
yeah I hope the rooks are pitching cuz the advantage usually goes to the pitcher when the batter has never seen them….I think Blanton should be skipped if possible as the Sox have seen him…could be wrong…haven’t checked those stats.
June 11th, 2009 at 11:14 pm
