Series Thread: Mets @ Phillies 4 Games

[Retroram52]

It took Jimme Rollins to calm Hamels down and that was a beautimous double play by Utley and Rollins to get us out of the jam.

 

[Retroram52]

Howard is doing what he does best-striking out. Onto the seventh inning and these Phillies look like they took the night off.

 

[Retroram52]

It's all tied up with that single HR by Ruiz. Now Asche gets on by a walk. Do we have a Rally?

 

[Retroram52]

Into the eighth and Diekman is in.

 

[Retroram52]

Dom Brown redeemed himself with that catch after dropping that shallow fly earlier in the game.

 

[Retroram52]

This game may go to extra innings. It is beginning to look like that.

 

[Retroram52]

Nice hit by Jimmie Rollins and we have one on. C'mon Utley get Jimmie home.

 

[Retroram52]

Papelbon takes over for Diekman in heh ninth.

 

[Retroram52]

Asche has been excellent tonight and he has another great play.

 

[Retroram52]

Wow, what a play by Cody Asche on that deep throw and one-hopper to first!

Anyone notice that Ruf is not being used at all? Not even a pinch hit opportunity in the last 5 days. Also Mayberry is due to come off the DL sunday. Wonder what is going on?

 

[Retroram52]

Yep Northeast. Nowhere to be found ever since Boobens declared that Howard was the first baseman for 2015. I don't know what is going on but I suspect Mayberry is coming back and they'll send Ruf back down or cut him which doesn't make a lick of sense.

 

[Retroram52]

Into extra innings we go and Heater boy is in.

 

[Retroram52]

Diekman, Papelbon, and Giles make a pretty tough triumvariate of a pitching staff. They should keep these guys around because they are the present heart of our bullpen.

 

[Retroram52]

Its a Darin Ruf sighting!!!

 

[Retroram52]

The eleventh inning is upon us and let's see who is going to be pitching.

 

[Retroram52]

It's Retardo!

 

[Retroram52]

Oh krap. Retardo is throwing easily hittable pitches.

 

[Retroram52]

Damn it! Now we have runners on the corners with one out. Retardo is simply shit.

 

[Retroram52]

Frikin' Retardo walked another runner. Duda is up and this could be it.
