Phillies vs Mets Gamethread Tuesday.

[Retroram52]

Howard still chasing high fast balls.

 

[Retroram52]

Where in the hell did this Mets pitcher get that goofy hat? And when Howard has to absolutely get a hit he falters like a limp noodle.

 

[Retroram52]

Franco picked a great time to get out of his slump and we now lead this game.

Here is useless-as-tits-on-a-bull at bat.

[Retroram52]

Nine Phillies come to bat and we add 4 runs. The side is over and Sizemore left two. Let's see if we can close this out.

 

[Retroram52]

Francoeur comes in with Giles.

 

[Retroram52]

Giles is not starting out very well. He is already behind on Duda.

 

[Retroram52]

Giles brought the heat and gets it by Duda.

 

[Cedrique]

Not to be a Monday morning QB, but if I was Sandberg I would have thought about bringing in Francoer to hit for Howard there. I know he K's a lot too but he has a much better chance against a lefty to make contact and get the run home. Oh well, at least Franco picked him up

 

[Retroram52]

They should have walked Duda outright and saved the pitches.

 

[Retroram52]

Murphy hits a double into right and Francoeur can't find the handle and now with no outs, the Mets are going to score. Giles is done and they bring in Papelbon. Not yet.

 

[Retroram52]

What is Giles throwing sliders for?

 

[Retroram52]

Now Giles is over-throwing.

 

[Retroram52]

That's the pitch. Bring the Giles heat. One out.

 

[Cedrique]

For a minute there I was thinking the Phillies signed Rick Ankiel and converted him back to pitcher

 

[Retroram52]

Giles keeps throwing the hanging slider and somebody is going to make him pay.

 

[Retroram52]

If Giles walks this dude, we are screwed.

 

[Retroram52]

High Heat!

 

[Retroram52]

Herrera saved more than one run with that snag and throw and the Mets have tied the game with a sac fly by Flores.
