Phillies @ The Mets Series Game Thread

[Retroram52]

We will see if we can continue our 4-game winning streak in New York and actually make a dent into our won-loss columns.

 

[Retroram52]

This Mets pitcher deGrom, looks like a frikin' girl!

 

[Retroram52]

Buchanan sac bunts Asche to second after Asche drew the walk. C'mon Bennie, let's get Asche home.

 

[Retroram52]

Damn it. That is not what I had in mind.

 

[Retroram52]

Buchanan is crusing pretty well. Excellent line-drive snag by Byrd for the out!!

 

[Retroram52]

Man, Asche can get that ball to first in a hurry!!

 

[Retroram52]

Geez, Howard a few feet more and we have a run. deGrom has us hitless for through four innings.

 

[Retroram52]

Darnell gets an RBI and Buchanan gives up a run. This side is not looking good.

 

[Retroram52]

Sizemore with the nice catch in left to get us out of that side with minimal damage. Once again, we need some offense!

 

[Retroram52]

Byrd is on and a very nice hit by Sizemore. We have two on now and we really need to score here.

 

[Retroram52]

Asche needs to learn not to chase garbage pitches like he just did when there are two on with one out. That crap just takes a scoring opportunity too lightly and screws us over.

 

[Retroram52]

Once again we left two stranded and blew a perfect opportunity to score at least one run. We came away from that side with nothing and we have been doing that all year long.

 

[Retroram52]

Buchanan gives up another hit which turns into a double when Asche missed the snag.

 

[Retroram52]

Buchanan pitches himself out of the side and the inning with no further damage and we still are within reach down just a run.

 

[Retroram52]

Utley finally gets a hit tonight after going ofer.

 

[Retroram52]

Frikkin' Howard. Stands there and watches a knee-high strike and then swings at a foot-high change-up. No wonder this guy's batting average has been below .275 all year.

 

[Retroram52]

Wow, Buchanan got through that side with just 6 pitches!

 

[Retroram52]

Byrd gets another base hit to start the 7th inning.

 

[jvett77]

Scattered hits and a lot of zeroes. Somebody's got to connect for a long one or it will be a wasted effort for Buchanan.

 

[Retroram52]

Byrd beats Duda's error throw to second and we have two on with Byrd and Sizemore with no outs. This is the place to get at least two home.
