Gameday: Mets (39-39) at Phillies (39-37)

Posted by Amanda Orr, Fri, July 03, 2009 05:45 PM

New York Mets (39-39) at Philadelphia Phillies (39-37)

Livan Hernandez (5-3, 4.04 ERA) vs. Rodrigo Lopez (5-4, 3.91 ERA in AAA)

Time: 7:05 p.m at Citizens Bank Park
Weather: Partly Cloudy, 80
TV:Comcast Sporstnet
Twitter: Phillies Nation

Tonight, the rivalry is renewed in a big series for both teams. The Phillies look to turn around their struggles and stay in first place in the National League East. The Mets are only one game out, and they could find themselves in first if the Phillies continue to struggle at home.

Rogrigo Lopez will start against the Mets. With the Lehigh Valley IronPigs, Lopez has been inconsistent in his last ten starts. He has only given up one earned run his the last 14 innings he has pitched, however it has been a pattern that after he has success, he struggles in his next start. On the plus side, he has not walked many batters or given up many home runs. In his Major League career, Lopez is 65-65 with a 4.80 ERA.

Hernandez is 10-8 with a 3.36 in 24 career starts against the Phillies. At Citizens Bank Park, Hernandez is 2-2 with a 5.45 ERA. Chase Utley is 8-for-24 in his career against Hernandez. Jimmy Rollins and Ryan Howard each have homered off Hernandez twice in their careers.

Your Gameday Beer:If you’ve ever been to the City Tavern on 2nd Street across from the Ritz Theater in Philly, there’s a chance you’ve sampled General Washington’s Tavern Porter. It is brewed by Yards in honor of the father of our country who became a brewmaster himself after retiring from government and is based on one of his own recipes. The 7% dark porter is thick but drinkable with a molasses base. Eat like our revolutionary forefathers with some freshly hunted rabbit. - By Brian

Go Phillies!

I feel a turn around for this series for the Phillies, will be there tomorrow from Vermont for the game, It is time to turn the season around right here and right now I feel it in my bones
Go PHILLIES
JackS Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 6:04 pm
To be honest, Mets are gonna sweep the Phillies. The Phillies are a fluke team. Cole Hamels is overrated. Jimmy Rollins is also overrated. Raul Ibanez will turn back to sucking when he returns. You phillies are scared of Mets so that why you bring in a triple A pitcher to face because all your pitchers are terrible. Fluke. Go Mets (favourite team) and Marlins (place where I live).

Forecasting Note: BREAKING NEWS: Charlie Manuel fired on July 26th. Sam Perlozzo takes over as manager for now. Rollins demands trade along with Hamels. Brad Lidge traded to Braves for Rafeal Soriano/Mike Gonzalez. Phillies fan boo team off again. Phillies finish 84-78, 5 back of wild card. Depression intact for Chase Utley.

July 3rd, 2009 at 6:21 pm
JackS:
I agree with the first part
Your forecast? Not so much. Except how they finish.
GOOOOO!!! METSSSSS!!!

Oh and shag beta sigma delta:
I hear Vermont is beautiful this time of year. You should save yourself the trip. The Phils will get swept. That feeling in your bones is a deep chill.

Lenny Dykstra liked being a Phillie more than being a Met!
Geoff Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 6:31 pm
Ok so I hope MOyer does well tomorrow…tonight – I hope Lopez just doesnt get smoked out of the building…not like the Mets SP is great either outside of Santana
I'm Chutly Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 6:38 pm
Geoff
You are correct. They’re not great. Their borderline okay. But…one thing they are is much better than the Phillies pitching staff. That’s all that matters for this series.
Keith Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 6:55 pm
go Phillies!
Keith Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 6:59 pm

Nick Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:03 pm

Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:08 pm
Ooo… I think I like this new guy.
Ed R. Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:09 pm
It would be awesome if Lopez came in here and gave us 7 solid innings…the Phils are in such bad need of that.

I have faith that the Phillies will turn things around with a series win vs the Mets.
Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:11 pm
Nice quick first for the new kid on the block.
Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:11 pm
Is Lopez Philipino? He kinda has that look about him, but I didn’t think there were any Philipinos in baseball.
Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:13 pm
WOO HOO!!! I think Rollins is out of his slump!
Lulu from NY Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:14 pm

Ed R. Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:15 pm
Rodrigo Lopez is from Mexico.
Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:17 pm
Wow… this is the best start we’ve seen in a while… although I’m flashing back to that awful game with 4 runs in the first inning and a 10-4 loss…
Ed R. Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:17 pm
Yeah but the Rays can hit.
Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:18 pm
Ah, thanks Ed!

shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:20 pm
now bases loaded no outs, sitting here at work waiting to leave for my drive down to Phila. hope this guy can hold a lead nice start though
Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:20 pm
Lopez reminded me of my cousin’s wife, who is Philipino. (not the chick thing; just the Philipino thing)
Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:21 pm
I was beginning to think you worked 24/7, shag!
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:21 pm

Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:22 pm

Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:23 pm
They’ve definitely learned how to work the pitcher. What’s his count now? I’m having trouble getting Gameday today.
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:24 pm

Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:24 pm
YES!!!
Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:25 pm
OK, Pedro is another guy who has been slumping… Maybe this will inspire him…
CT Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:26 pm
where are the mets trolls now?
Shitarino Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:26 pm
you guys still suck
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:26 pm
I love the blue dot in play run(s) on MLB.com when the phillies are at bat nice scoring from second by Utley on a fly ball, Dobbs has been hitting pretty well lately don’t you all think since he has gotten playing time
Lulu from NY Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:26 pm

Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:27 pm

shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:27 pm

Man I just notice Bako in again I just do not get it, but I have faith he will get a run in here cause he wants it soooo bad
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:28 pm

Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:28 pm
The radio is giving the pitch count — 27 already!
Shitarino Says:

Lulu from NY Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:31 pm
hope my mets score some run
Shitarino Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:32 pm
Could have been worse…you guys should have gotten at least 4
JackS Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:32 pm
to be honest why do you guys have bako on the roster?!!! your management is dumb. Wow, you guys had bases loaded no outs and Werth strikes out. Bases loaded and 1 out, bako strikes out. only 3 runs. mets will come back. sheff, church, tatis up now. time to score some runs baby
Andrew Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:33 pm
Bako and Bruntlett need to not be on a major league roster.
somehow they always come up with bases loaded or in a clutch time.
Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:34 pm
Aw… that wasn’t the *real* Ben Franklin! Anybody heard how he’s doing? He had a stroke recently.
Geoff Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:34 pm
Livan Hernandez sucks. Why is he still a major league pitcher?
JackS Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:34 pm
as of now, atl and was tied at 3. pitt leading fla 4-0
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:35 pm
yea one out from that power trio you just mentioned
Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:35 pm
BEAUTIFUL!
Shitarino Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:35 pm
Are you kidding me?
Shitarino Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:36 pm

shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:36 pm
two down form that power trio, man Lopez only 17 pitches not bad hope he can keep this up
baseballfan Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:36 pm
that was b.s.
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:37 pm
dam there goes the no hitter ok Lopez settle in and get one more now please
Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:37 pm
(Ralph Archbold, the “real” Ben Franklin, is recovering from his stroke, but not doing any appearances this weekend)
Geoff Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:38 pm
Lopez shows the ball for too long, Mets havent picked up on it yet.
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:38 pm
nice two innings 21 pitches keep it up Lopez you may be able to stay in the show for awhile if you can keep it up. nice job n ow lets score 3 more
JackS Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:38 pm
Umm lets see:

2009 season:

Mets Starter Hernandez: 5-3, 4.28ERA, OPP AVG is .291

Phillies best pitcher/ace Hamels: 4-5, 4.98ERA, OPP AVG is .312

One our of low (ok) pitchers is better than your ace wow Geoff! I’m start to wonder why is hamels so OVERRATED and would hernandez be an ace on phillies pitching staff?
Geoff Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:39 pm
Trade Roll had a nice first at bat.
Lulu from NY Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:39 pm
church got rub – stupid call from 3rd base
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:40 pm
ok so the trolls think that line drive hit the ground did it, any rational people watching the game
Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:40 pm
Ah well. But at least JRoll took three pitches. It’s an improvement.
Geoff Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:40 pm
Um, sure pal. If the Phillies had Livan Hernandez in the postseason last year THEY WOULDNT HAVE WON THE WORLD SERIES!
Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:41 pm
@Shag: Looked like he got it to me, but they only showed it once. WHOA!! VICTORINO!!!
Geoff Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:41 pm
Ryan Church is not a CF…
Shitarino Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:41 pm
it did hit the ground
JackS Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:41 pm
A gift for you phills and a hit is nice to start somethin. mets will get going next time around for everyone. its because no one has seen lopez in a long time but because he shows the ball alot, the second time around will be disaster for lopez and the philies.
baseballfan Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:42 pm
If you think he cought that you are retarded Shag
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:42 pm
line drive better than pop out for JRoll, I know i am grasping, but he had some hard hits last night, maybe he is starting to show up
Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:42 pm
Look at him run… FLYIN’ HAWAIIAN!
Shitarino Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:42 pm
no shit geoff hahah
Ed R. Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:42 pm
JackS any particular reason you are here picking verbal fights with people when you know they are going to defend their team as you would yours? Is there a point to it? Sad attempts at humor? Jealousy perhaps? It feels like 5th grade when you make fun of someone but deep down inside you really like them. Hamels is having a bad first half no way around out. But he is the World Series MVP…pretty sure Hernandez or anyone else on the Mets staff can’t lay claim to that. You have to get to the World Series to have a shot at the MVP…you have to make the playoffs to have a shot at the World Series…see where I am going with this?
lm Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:42 pm
that was actually a good hit by jimmy though…im impressed
Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:43 pm
@Baseballfan: Shag doesn’t have video.
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:43 pm
nice Vic triple lets keep in going
and shiterino I was asking the question to rational people not trolls
JackS Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:44 pm
hey geoff, hamels is a one year wonder and fluke. Hernandez has produced and been consistent his whole career. Wouldn’t be talking if i were you geoff.
Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:44 pm
@Ed: I read somewhere that the Internet was created so that people who couldn’t intimidate the smallest kid on the special bus would have someplace where they could be a badass. Perhaps that sheds some light.
baseballfan Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:44 pm
Actually Ed, Hernandez does have a World Series MVP,ahah
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:44 pm
ok Chase way to get the run in you are the man
Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:44 pm
As for me, I’ve got the badass squelch on high tonight. It makes for a much more pleasant chat.
baseballfan Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:45 pm
And Jack, He was there World Series MVP, who cres if he was a fluke. He won them a world series.
JackS Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:46 pm
wow, sure utley got the rbi , but he chased a 3-0 pitch into a flyout. wow howard out on first pitch. cmon mets lets beat em up
Geoff Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:46 pm
I wouldnt call Hamels a one year wonder…even when hes struggling Id still rather trot him out there than everyone of the mets starters minus Santana.
Ed R. Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:46 pm
Actually baseballfan no he doesn’t. He was the ALCS MVP in 1999. Not the World Series MVP. Nice try though.
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:47 pm
ok back to semi work, nice to get one more run, I will take one run an inning and line drives outs even though I can not see them sound better then pop outs, and doesnt the middle relief for mets suck so we should be ok if Lopez can keep the mets down to 2 or 3 runs
Geoff Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:47 pm
That 3-0 pitch was a STRIKE DOWN THE MIDDLE. He swung at it to DRIVE IN A RUN.
Ed R. Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:47 pm
Makes sense Tracey. But if someone is going to come to this board, or any and say anything, I hope they atleast have their stats right. Must not be much of a baseballfan when you have no idea what you are talking about.
Lulu from NY Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:48 pm
Livan Hernandez sucks – he is showing his true color now . That’s why other teams don’t want him
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:48 pm
Baseball fan I was asking a question you troll in here sound so stupid most of the time I can not trust you
baseballfan Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:50 pm
Clearly Jack is not impressed by small ball. Utly did what he had to do,good move.
Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:50 pm
Very confusing to have both of the managers with the same last name…
Ed R. Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:50 pm
Honestly, Hernandez is not that bad he is just prone to having a bad inning here or there. Can pretty much say the same thing about every Phillies starter minus Happ right now.
Geoff Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:50 pm
Is anyone else glad the Cubs are struggling? I HATE that team. Its all d!ckheads with a King D!ckhead manager and they spend money like the Yankees.
JackS Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:50 pm
If you dumb phillies fans didn’t know: 152 wins, 1653 strikeouts, world series champion, 2 time all star, NLCS MVP, World Series MVP, 3x league leader in innings pitched, 2x league leader in complete games, Silver Slugger Award, 11 errors in his career- All these have been achieved by Hernandez. Hernandez was also young (22) when he won the WS with the Marlins who were in their INAGURAL season. He led the team to a WS win in their first year of existance. Boo Yah
baseballfan Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:51 pm
No, I just did not think your post needed a response that was thought out and researched.
Shitarino Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:51 pm
Lopez just got away with a meatball
Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:52 pm
Rollins is a lot cleaner in the field tonight than he’s been lately too.
Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:53 pm
Another clean inning for Lopez. I’m definitely liking the new guy…
Shitarino Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:53 pm
its only a matter of time mets are smoking the ball of this chump
baseballfan Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:54 pm
Actua;;y I take back my last comment. He did win one Ed. You must feel like a jackass for calling me out.
Ed R. Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:54 pm
Marlins started in 1993 you jackass. Not 97.
Geoff Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:55 pm
Your actually LYING! HAHA.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_Marlins

They were established in 1993. Livan DOES have the 1997 WS MVP.

JackS Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:55 pm
ed r trust me either you don’t follow baseball too well or you have just start following baseball. hernandez won the WS and the WS MVP in 1997. And from 1996-2007 hernandez played in the NL. he played in the al for only 4 months for the twins in 2007.
Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:55 pm
WERTH HOME RUN!!!

nice ball park lol what a little league field
Ed R. Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:56 pm
I stand corrected, Livan did in fact win a World Series MVP. My mistake.
Geoff Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:56 pm

Actually he has had a great career, he just sucks over the past few years.
baseballfan Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:57 pm
I think you lost your privalge for calling people out Ed. Especially to me.hah
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:57 pm
I am going to rant now since i walk away and even though he got out of the inning how do you walk the #8 hitter with a 4 run lead,
OK I got that off my chest
Nice job through three Lopez not being able to see you you are doing fine by me, 3 innings one hit and what 35 pitches
JackS Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:57 pm
damn it. cmon mets. we’ve rallied before from 5,6,7 runs down
Lulu from NY Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:57 pm
My goodness – Phillies all fire up – hit and aother hit never stop. mets do look like tripple-A team now
Ed R. Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:58 pm
You maybe but JackS.

“He led the team to a WS win in their first year of existance. Boo Yah”

Not so much.
baseballfan Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:59 pm
Yea LuLo, Im not too confident about this game right now. The Phillies are in a groove this game. Clean swing after clean swing.
JackS Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:59 pm
at the game tomorrow 4:10pm. 4th of July!!! Hopefully mets rally tonight, win tomorrow, and sweep sunday.
Geoff Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:59 pm
Bako sucks…I cant believe he just stroked a double there
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:00 pm
a little late but nice JOB Jayson got one more run makes up a little for the K in the first you are hitting well lately
Geoff Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:00 pm
Im going tomorrow, still have extra ticket, Moyer vs Nieve. Nieve sucks. Moyer sucks. But Moyer is due for a passable outing.
Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:01 pm
(sigh) Bako. Whose idea was that?
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:01 pm
nice job Peter Happy, and even Bako is hitting this guy nice job Phillies
Geoff Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:02 pm
wow…the Mets look like a mess – noone covering second. Meatball down the middle for Trade Roll to drive in tow runs.
Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:02 pm
OK, Phils, save a couple of runs for the rest of the weekend….
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:02 pm

Lulu from NY Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:03 pm
Can not watch anymore- I rather find a guy for date and F me
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:03 pm
JRoll is on fire nice job kid hope this is a sign of things to come
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:04 pm
Come on Geoff, I know he has been terrible for three months but he is better last two games give him some credit and stop with the Trade Roll that is just rude
JackS Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:05 pm
Geoff umm

Nieve: 3-1, 2.25ERA
Moyer: 6-6, 6.06ERA

Just because Moyer sucks, doesn’t mean Nieve sucks

Get the facts right

Nieve sucks…he was released by the Astros…he has pitched well but he still sucks. Theres a difference between sucking but performing well for the time being and actually being good.

jack its obvious geoff doesnt know much about anyone else but the Phillies
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:08 pm
Yea Tracey need those roll over runs like I suggested a few weeks back
I hope Lopez can keep this lead and take the game at least into the 7th, getting ahead of myself come on Lopez get us out of the 4th please with the 7 run lead in tact I know you can
JackS Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:08 pm
Gone for tonight

Moyer is gonna toss homer balls
Nieve is gonna shut you down

hey man, I watch MLB tonight every night Im up with the info…just because you dont agree with it doesnt mean it isnt there or real
NJ Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:09 pm
Why is it no surprise that in-spite of the Phils kicking ass and Lopez putting up goose eggs so far that Geoff’s go-to lines are about how Moyer sucks and how we should trade Jimmy…
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:10 pm
that is ok give up a single an inning and then a DP or just two more outs with him standing on first
Shitarino Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:10 pm
Church is 2 for 2
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:11 pm
ok two hits settle down Lopez we are behind you you can do this I would be cheering the loudest you will hear me tomorrow 417 row 5
Andrew Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:12 pm
This game is not over. With Rodrigo pitching. Luckily for Phillies fans the Mets are the biggest bunch of losers in sports. Amateur or professional/ Male or female sports / team or individual sports included.

57 pitches through four not bad my friend actually really good who am I kidding, nice job,
Did this guy pitch for the Rockies and or Braves in his career
Lulu from NY Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:16 pm
good bye phillies fan – enjoy your game. I am going out for date now
Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:19 pm
Well, Ryan’s getting a lot more patient, taking his walks.
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:21 pm
shiterino, church is two for two that is just great, he should be in the HOF, how many runs have you scored
Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:22 pm
Wow… pulling the starter in less than 4? That’s a Phillies move!
Geoff Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:22 pm
Mitsch was released by a few teams. What a dog dirt terrible performance from Hernandez. Im glad the Phillies jumped him early.
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:23 pm
think it is time to go to the pen levan can not find the plate nice eye Jayson OK Peter Make me Happy get the run in from third is all I am asking which is really not much
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:24 pm
Sorry my fault bad fan bad fan I meant Dobbs
David, the Mets fan from Queens Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:24 pm
Believe me, Phillies fans – this Mets team you’re witnessing tonight is the real New York Mets ball club without Reyes, Delgado, Beltran, Putz, etc. I’m glad that I didn’t make the trip out to Philadelphia for the weekend I feel badly for those Mets fans in attendance tonight- simply put, it must be embarrassing.

Nonetheless, it’s still July – thank goodness!
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:25 pm
Geoff where has he played do you know
Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:25 pm
The radio just made a good point: how do you go to the plate with a pitcher you’ve never seen before and swing at the first pitch?
Geoff Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:26 pm
unfortunately theyre going to allow Bako to hit here…
Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:27 pm
@Geoff: it’s only the 4th inning, they’re certainly not going to take out the catcher yet. But they shouldn’t have played Bako in the first place.
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:28 pm
David you need to talk to the other mets fans in here because you are 1 of only 2 that speak intelligently and have a clue
Dam Dobbs I was singing your praises earlier oh well better now than if we were in a tight game at that moment Now it is Bako time lol
Lulu from NY Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:29 pm
It’s not nice to call people a loser. They just didn’t pitch n play well
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:30 pm
that is too bad would have been nice to score some runs there, but like I said it would hurt worse in a tight game I have faith that this will not be one, but you never know, we need Lopez to get through 5 unscathed (is that even a word)
Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:31 pm
(FYI: The Florida game is in play again, and they’re losing 4-0)
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:32 pm
not bad 60 pitches into the 5th inning for Lopez nice job so far just get three outs and move to the 6th
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:33 pm
ok way to K the pitcher now one more out and lets move on
Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:33 pm
I like the way you’re calling this game, Shag!
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:35 pm
nice blue dot in play OUT(s) is the best thing when the Mets are up 67 pitches through 5 good real good so far what 3 hits 3 k’s nice so far let’s get a couple more this inning and then move to the 6th
NJ Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:36 pm
why would you take your back-up catcher out of game he’s spot starting when your 7 runs up? Makes no tactical sense
lm Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:39 pm
i wish they would have left hernandez in so the phillies would have crushed him even more!! 7 runs is still good enough though!
justphantastic Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:43 pm
I’m Chutly
JackS

look at the scoreboard

& yes the Phillies are still the WORLD PH**** CHAMPS!!

laugh it up troll 1 and troll2
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:51 pm
86 pitches through six and thanks Tracey, had to go upstairs for a while, I was going to come back and be sarcastic and say the following
UH-OH two innings with out a run and JRoll didn’t get a hit they are slumping all over again, where is Geoff tell ing how bad this team is,

I crack myself up
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:54 pm
Howard and Lopez only two phillies with a hit, and Ryan has walked twice so that is good enough, make them throw pitches you can hit, even though he is hitless tonight, I like his approach, and up 7-0 you can get agressive
by the Tracey do you get to many games,
NJ Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:54 pm
sbd- not only was it two innings without a run and J-Roll didn’t get a hit but Bako’s still in the game, we still have Bruntlett on the roster and we haven’t traded for two elite starting pitchers since the game began… Panic mode necessary!
Georgie Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:54 pm
I was outside taking my frustrations out on the weeds, had the game on the radio, and I heard Franzke going nuts, wow, unbelievable!

Going to catch up on comments now.
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:56 pm
NJ you need to calm down I am not saying they do not need pitching help but Lopez is throwing a fine game so far, and they last few games their at bats up and down the line up have been better so be a little positive please
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:57 pm
ok Lopez settle down again and get an out please you are the man tonight
Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:59 pm
Tch, no shutout. But still a hell of a performance from Lopez.
Geoff Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:59 pm
not a bad performance tonight..first run allowed after 6.1 innings..
Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:00 pm
FYI: On the replay, that was very clearly bounced off the wall in front of the fence.
NJ Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:01 pm
sbs- the above was meant to echo your post with sarcasm. I’m in the minority that think the Phils have enough on the roster/in the system to do as well as their going to do this year.

Great game, Lopez has surely earned himself another start, credit to the guy.
Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:03 pm
OK, Lopez is sweating and Chan Ho is warming up. Maybe it’s time for a little relief? Yeah, here comes Chollie.
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:03 pm
what was the on field delay no one got hurt did they,
It is ok Lopez settle down one run is ok,
He is up to 97 pitches though do you think you bring in Madson tonight in the 8th to get some confidence back
Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:03 pm
Look at that standing O for Lopez. He’s earned it.
Geoff Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:04 pm
outstanding performance from a journeyman like that…
David, the Mets fan from Queens Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:04 pm
Our anemic offense and lack of good starting pitching is becoming an ominous problem. Mind you, the Phillies are about to knock the Mets back under .500, guys. The Mets are a sub .500 ball club! THAT’S a telling statistic!

The best news of the evening is that Church is hitting the ball the other way well and Pat Misch pitched very well tonight – maybe Jerry should have had the perspicacity to put him in instead of Livan tonight. Hah!

At least we won’t get shut out tonight by a guy who hasn’t pitched in the Major’s since 2007. Then again, he could be the Phillies’ Fernando Nieve, no?

I’m curious to see if the Mets have the drive to fight back, regardless of their five run deficit.
Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:04 pm
@Shag: he gave up a second run. a ball down the 3rd base line that got some fan interference (GRD)
Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:05 pm
I want to start a fan club: Chan Ho’s Hos.
Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:06 pm
Although: did everybody catch early in the game, Rodrigo’s Amigos? hehehe.
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:06 pm
maybe it is time now to make a move not sure but do you think it will be park we may need him tomorrow for moyer why not Durbin or JC here
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:08 pm
Nice job Lopez now Chan who pick him up here and get out of the inning
Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:08 pm
(Marlins are still down 4-0 in the 7th)
Geoff Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:09 pm
Sergio needs work…
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:09 pm
nice K one more out please
Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:10 pm
NICE cleanup from Chan Ho!
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:10 pm
All in all a good trip up from AAA for Lopez, it was nice to see that, I have faith the pen can hold this one
Geoff Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:11 pm
Park will probably take the 8th too. escalona the 9th assuming no other runs score from the mets….Park has settled into his role well.
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:12 pm
very nice Chan HO, two K’s
You know he has pitched well out of the Pen his first appreace was dreadful but he has come back and done the job night in and out, I ask again do we see the Mad dog in this game to try and right his ship and Lidge has not pitched in a while either, any comments on that
Georgie Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:14 pm
Geoff, got it, thanks.
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:15 pm
has every pitcher we called up to spot start from AAA pitched a good game his first time out, Carpenter did, Bastardo did, now Lopez am I missing something
David, the Mets fan from Queens Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:15 pm
“Hi. My name is Omar Minaya and I am getting paid to stay home and pray that Jose Reyes, Carlos Beltran, Carlos Delgado, Oliver Perez, J.J. Putz, and Billy Wagner all return soon and excel on field right away. Likely, I also hope that the Phillies, Marlins, and Braves continue to struggle, even though I know that such a scenario is not likely. I won’t see aid via trade or signing as I firmly believe, with the help of (fill in your god) that my Mets will somehow make it through!”

My ACCURATE assessment of Omar’s thought process is both grotesque and short-sighted. Forget the Mets’ payroll limits – if you want to win, you must pay what you have to pay. The Mets need a temporary bat until their core players return – if they do!
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:16 pm
if we finish this one off does Lopez get the Asburn tomorrow
Greg V. Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:17 pm
Hats off to Lopez on a great return to the bigs. Since they announced he was pitching I have had nothing but bad things to say. But he really turned in a great performance tonight.
Geoff Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:17 pm
ok georgie…so whats the word on that?
David, the Mets fan from Queens Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:20 pm
Greg V.,

I won’t take Lopez’s efficient outing and disparage it, but let me ask you this: although we’re speculating here, would Lopez have done as well as he did tonight if he had to face Reyes, Beltran, and Delgado in that lineup? I think that a large part of Lopez’s success is due to the weak lineup that he faced. Regardless, a win is a win and Lopez gets the credit for it – and rightfully so.
Greg V. Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:20 pm
I’d give Lopez the Ashburn but I have to tell you, Jimmy Rollins got some nice hits in today.
NJ Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:22 pm
Minaya treats the Mets like grocery shopping, he gets the big items but forgets the basic day-to-day essentials as well as the dirty stuff no-one likes, but knows you need…

Credit to Amaro for learning early to address those needs…
Geoff Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:24 pm
Pujols hit ANOTHER grand slam…
Geoff Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:26 pm
the mets have a few grinders but not enough workman guys. they could really have used a guy like david eckstein…
Geoff Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:28 pm
Come on…they need this win….
Geoff Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:28 pm
phew….nice work from Park…what an improvement he has shown since accepting his role.

Leave it to Murphy, he will also come back and be rookie of the year – watch. Omar should be a HoF GM as should Beltran be a HoF. You have many other in the HoF like Schmidt who Beltran is much better than
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:36 pm
Jack you are still saying that man you have a lot of faith in your offense you need 27 outs so this game is not over, so for as much of an idiot you are I like your positive thinking
Geoff Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:38 pm
beltran is much better than Schmidt…haha. when he hits 500 HR I will give him credit – but hes a very good player.
JackS Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:38 pm
Madson will come in and choke it up – he is the real choke artist
Geoff Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:39 pm
What are you going to say next? Ollie Perez is better than Pete Alexander (who is better than almost every single active starting pitcher)?
Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:39 pm
I was wondering where that 8th run came from, but it was just an error by the score person, fixed now.
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:39 pm
Man jacks you just keep spuing shit in here to get a reaction, it really is not even funny anymore can we not find a way to ban guys like that annoying

He has over 300 now and he is young
Tracey Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:40 pm
OK: Time for 3 quick outs.
JackS Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:40 pm
Ollie will be fine and a 20 game winnner
Greg V. Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:41 pm
Why is Madson coming in? I hope a 5 run lead is good enough for him!
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:42 pm
who is pitching for the phillies in the 9th is it Madson or Lidge or is charlie giving them the night off, JC maybe, or will it be Escolana i know I just butchered his name
JackS Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:42 pm
Told you, you told me I was full of crap
Georgie Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:42 pm
Man, he makes me nervous…
Geoff Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:42 pm
WHEN HE HITS 500 he will get respect in THAT category – right now hes in teh class of the “very good”

Heeeeere come the Mets
shag beta sigma delta Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:43 pm
