PrintNew York Mets at Philadelphia Phillies, Aug 26, 2008 7:05 PM EDT
The Phillies play the first game of a short two-gamer this week in Philadelphia -- the Mets' last (regular season*) trip to Philadelphia this year.
Two pitchers who both get by on guile -- one of whom used to have the raw stuff -- face off in South Philly, with Pedro Martinez and Jamie Moyer hoping to keep their respective team's hot streaks alive.

Cheers no Jeers for Rollins
Maybe all is forgiven. So good to see him start where he left off last night.
Happy Pete
batting .119 against the Mets so why is Dobbs on the bench?
Had a phone call and missed Howards AB. How pathetic did he look? The ESPN announcers slammed him a few times the 2 games they had the Dodgers on.
Werth
Nice 10 pitch AB. K’d on a high FB though.
Just when I was about to say the Phillies are showing the patience needed to drive Pedro’s pitch count up, Ruiz does the same old stupid thing of grounding out on the first pitch. How can a catcher hitting .220 think the best thing is to swing at that pitch?

So much for the streak of not allowing more than three runs in a game.

I agree. We should save Tracy for a more important part of the game, if we get lucky.

Is it time for Andy Tracy or does Moyer stay in?

Pat
Now 1 for 22 against Pedro….say does that mean Pedro owns him?
When did Damion Easley turn into ARod?

The Big Choke
Nap time fellas. Let’s get Johan tomorrow.
Another diabolical play by Howard to make Pedro bat with two outs. Getting picked off first on Sunday night was another great Howard ploy, allowing Victorino to lead off the next inning.

Howard knew what he was doing. Just by the way, on July 7th it was 10-1 Mets (behind Pedro) going into the bottom of the 6th. Final score 10-9. On July 22nd it was 5-1 Mets after 6. Final score 8-6 Phillies against the no-Wagner bullpen. Don’t give up yet. You never know with these two teams.

Calm down FM. Pedro won’t go more than 5, and yes their BP sucks. We’ll win it.
At 7:21, more than five hours ago.
haha…wow.
just wow. I keep thinking about how epic this was. I am just sitting, doing nothing but grinning ear to ear.

I Don't Believe What I Just Saw
Was at the ballpark. Utter madness. I would like to offer my formal apologies to my new hero Eric Bruntlett for every mean thing I ever said about him, including the handful of things I said in the seconds immediately preceding his double.
Sheesh. This game thread really didn’t do justice to the game, did it? You guys need to bring your A game on nights like this.
For real. I expected this thread to be ridiculous. I was at the game also and just got back. Probably the most exciting game I’ve ever been to – definitely the largest comeback.
Charlie Manuel managed the game brilliantly I thought. Playing Ruiz at 3rd for that one inning ended up being huge as it allowed Bruntlett to bat in the 9th. He also managed to get Coste up against Feliciano.
