Another HR if the game was in CBP. How many have the Mets hit this series? 6?
lol at mrs. santana
i thought you had a crush on smiling tom glavine
If I had to do it over again, I think my MetsGeek handle would be Bean Stringfellow.
I was going to be Bean Stringfellow!!!!!
Danny, life is full of second chances. Go for it ;-)
That was just a minor infatuation, PJ. Johan is the love of my life!! (I have a bit of a “thing” for pitchers.)
Raise your hand: who thought a great game by Mike Pelfrey would break the Mets losing streak to the Phillies and potentially turn it all around?
:looking around doubtfully for raised hands:
Pelfrey exceeded my expectations tonight. He missed a lot more bats than I expected.
I don’t like Muniz. I don’t like him alot.
Danny, I feel pretty safe in saying I think he exceeded all of our expectations.
Memories
As much as I don’t like Stokes?
PIITB MFers!!!!
PIITB!!!!
BALLGAME!!!!!
FINALLY
PiitB!!!
Probably. In my case, it’s because Muniz looks like he throws about as hard as my cat.
Standing ovation for Mike Pelfrey!
:applause:
Put em’ in the books!
PITB!
**e-hugs PHL**
Hey, did anyone see the Mets trivia question early
in the game? The person was from Ellenville, NY.
Thats me hometown. E Town Baby!!!!!!
k, Geeks. It’s been real. Mets AND Rangers win, good time had by all! Time to get on the phone and order that Mike Pelfrey jersey. Gotta get on the bandwagon early!
76 people and climbing, lol
*pinches self*
*has nifty red mark on arm*
OMG THEY BEAT THE PHILLIES!
I am overcome by joy!
apparently the streak started in a gmae when kendrick beat pelfry, so it was natural that the cycle would end this way. we will win the next 8 too.
Ellenville is where the Nevele ski resort is, right? That’s where my high school had its senior trip.
Yeah, this is great and all, but we still have a losing record this year.
**ducks tomatoes**
It began with Pelfrey vs. Kendrick, and it ends with Kendrick vs. Pelfrey. How fitting.
Nice job by Big Nasty. I knew he could do it.
So wait a minute. If Feliciano could pitch today? Why wasn’t he in the fucking game yesterday?
They shouldve won for you yesterday shea. Next time you need to go down in the dugout and announce your arrival.
You’re not dreaming, Jessica! At least I hope not.
LOL, **e-hugs Danny**
Yep, sure is Jess. Small Town, USA. Thats about the biggest thing here. I graduated with 66 in my class. This years class will have 87, lol
plane was late coming back from PR.
Ramon, he wasn’t at the Stadium yesterday until the 8th inning. he missed a flight back from PR.
Its good to see young Mile Pelfrey grow before our eyes. I wanna see this be his last stop and run away with the 5th spot.
PHL and Danny = eGay (YH) nttiatwwt
Why didn’t I think of that….lol!
I hope Mikey makes the Twinkies and all the other teams regret not picking him up
Oh…thought I saw him there. :)
I wish Pelfrey could of went 6 and not thrown 100 pitches but it seemed like he lost a bit on his fastball after that 30 minute bottom of the third.
I disagree, pj. I think our e-hug was more in the spirit of Rocky and Apollo on the beach after Rocky finally beat Apollo in the race.
Pure Joy.
Thats what im here for shea. If you wind up being booked for trespassing a win would be well worth it, lol
How did Pelfrey look? I saw his boxscore, it was good enough. He sure did throw alot of pitches for 5 innings of work though. Was his fastball flat in the zone or did it have a nice movement?
Angel Pagan is becoming one of my favorites. But, I’m fickle so I reserve the right to change my mind next time he screws up in the field.
Yea, I love that beach part. #1 Movie moment of all-time ;-)
87 kids in high school grad class? Wow? I had 900+ in mine.
He had nice movement early on it seemed. Like Chris said that 3rd inning seemed to take a bit out of him. He was leaving some pitched in the zone after that but got away with it.
Funny, Shea! Well, that’s your prerogative!!
Pure Joy has nuts, mounds don’t
Wow 900 is incredible. Thats basically the whole town and the surronding area’s. lol
the truth is the mets could have scored a lot more runs. i am not complaining. i’ll take those runs manana.
The Marlins beat up on the Nats 10-4.
Marlins are in 1st place I believe. Looks like a Marlin/Orioles World Series. Good for Stevie Cy Young, lol
Angel Pagan has been so good that the little kid on American Idol sung a song about him last night.
We need a great start from Johnny Maine tomorrow baby!!!
You know Ramon, Pelfrey was afraid. I liked how he pitched earlier on and I think we would of gotten more out of him had the 3rd inning been quicker. The third inning got him the win though so we got to take that over the more effective Pelfrey
They just showed a stat…. The Mets have won only 7 out of the last 20 games against the Phils. Hopefully tonight the tide has turned!
My HS graduating class was 265, I think, but middle school was more like 700.
wasn’t afraid. damn, i keep making mistakes typing
It all has to even out, right? I mean look at how the Braves beat us and than they go to colorado and lose. Eventually we need to start smoking these teams. There not better than us. Can you honestly say there bullpens are that much better than ours?
Thank you metswin and Chris. I would love to see Pelf follow this up with another strong start the next time around. Sosa pitched well it seems.
Sosa pitched great. Real quick innings too.
Depends on who gets injured during the course of the season and then on how Willie uses the remaining peices. So far the injury to Wise is most inopportune and I keep waiting on baited breath for Sanchez to return strong.
Sosa threw his fastball and threw strikes while getting lefties out. It was nice
Sanchez is moving up to AAA Ramon.
Yankees are losing. Man, I though KC could be good, but this is one hell of a start. Is it that the Royals are that much better from last season or that the Tigers and Yankees aren’t that good? Probably a bit of both.
Hey all.
Interesting game we had tonight. Not the prettiest victory, but I’ll take them any way we can get them!
The broadcasters sounded very optimistic on Sanchez…one can hope!
Baby steps, baby steps. I wonder how much longer until he makes it up and Muniz goes back down?
He’s really weird. There are outings where he looks like he doesn’t have a clue on how to finish an inning and then there are other outings where he pitches up and down a lineup once without surrendering a run for a couple of innings. I hope Sanchez and Wise come back so that Willie doesn’t have to overdepend on him and can use him as bridge for middle innings when guys like el Duque, Pedro, and Pelfrey can’t reach the sixth inning or Perez begins to meltdown similar to the way he used Oliver in 2006.
im out. im falling asleep here. later
I wouldn’t be counting on Duque any time soon Ramon. he’s had a setback. He now has a strined tendon and will wear a boot for 2 weeks. They say he has been set back a month. I’ll be shocked if we ever see him pitch again.
Night, Chris.
Shit. I hope he can get back by the end of September, I’d love to see him fresh for us down the stretch run. Looks like Pelfrey is all the more important now.
KC is not horrible team, they are probably where they Rays were last year.
So, anyone watching Cubs/Pirates? That game may never end.
Ramon, there also reports that we are close to signing Claudio Vargas.
Actually I picked the Royals to make some noise in the AL Central. Good for them, they are my underdog pick this season in baseball like the Giants were in the NFL and the Hornets are in the NBA.
I read we will pick up Vargas. Does anyone know if where Wes Helms is and why we haven’t signed him yet?
Mr. Pelfrey don’t gotta not bend, he’s just gotta not break.
We don’t need an All-Star yet, we just need a dude who can go out there and keep his ERA under five.
As long as HE knows that, he’s gonna be fine.
i like all the little amrcn lg davids beating up on the goliaths. did the skunkees lose?
The Skankees lost the Royals 4-0.
just checked yahoo. skunkboys shat the bed against the “lowly” royals. what a great night…
hey cust whats up man ??
Wes Helms, is he signed by anyone yet?
bobbabooboo: doin’ good. nervous about tomorrow night. HUGE! froz 4; red wings, mets… don’t know how i will take it all..
how ’bout yoo, boo?
im hannging in man ,,,, we won butt philly gave us that friggin game ,,,,,
hmmmmmmmmmm is nd in tghe final froz four ?????? who the wings have in round 1 ??
bob, we HAD to beat the philths tonight. if they wanted to commit 4 errors that is their frickin’ problem. the one good thing heilman did yesterday was juke jimmy r & sprain his ankle…
yes, notre dame is in the froz 4. and the wings got the predators at home tomorrow. what a night !
Helms was designated for assignment by the Phillies on April 2nd[1] and on April 5th was traded back to his old club, the Florida Marlins with the Phillies paying all of Helms’s 2008 salary and the Marlins covering Helms’s 2009 option or buyout.[2]
hmmmmmm who do the irish have to play ???????
notre dame plays hated ccha rival michigan. it is on tv in hd on espn 2 tomorrow night. check it out if you can!
ok ok i will ytry to c`heck it out,,
Has anyone heard from Brant Rustich, can you tell me what minor league team he is on? Been trying to find him, but can’t find anything about him.
If season ended today:
White Sox at Orioles
Angels at Royals
Brew Crew at DBacks
Marlins at Cardinals
If that was the case I would root for a Marlin/Royal WS….Now that would be exciting.
