PrintPhiladelphia Phillies at New York Mets, Aug 24, 2009 1:10 PM EDT
Cliff Lee makes his fifth start for the Phillies in the final game of the four game series in New York, looking to win the final three. It will be Lee's third day game out of five Phillies starts, which means I'll have missed three of his games.
Bobby Parnell goes for the Mets.

Let’s see a nice and easy blowout today for some easy $$$ here.
I’m hung over and don’t feel like sweating out a game. lol
Angel Pagan has some sort of magical powers that hexes the phillies?

5 if you count Bruntlett’s booted ball which was ruled a single.

so let me get this straight….our infield has mis played 4 of the past 5 balls hit to them?
At least the one they handled cleanly was a triple play, but in all fairness…all he had to do there was catch the equivalent of a ball thrown right at him, step on a base and tag a guy standing up who’d stopped running. Yeesh.
Ok – if ESPN is to be believed that’s a 3 base throwing error on utley – did he throw it to the bronx?

Stll trying to figure out how the throwing error gives him 3 bases – isn’t the catcher supposed to be backing up the first baseman?

Uh? Sheffield ran to 3rd on his hit. Utley had nothing to do w/ him. I think CSN is incorrect and ya’ll are right. But, time will tell.
This is the weirdest last two innings i’ve seen/not seen

Sheffield now drops a ball in left field. Two base error, Bako on second.
Unreal. What the hell with these two teams—every game has some of this.
It’s harder to play baseball in natural light

The weird ting is that the espn boxscore ‘refresh’ is sporadically giving me a custom 404 page for ESPN like they can’t even find the page.
Maybe the game isn’t really happening?

Well, atleast I’m watching the game as opposed on relying on gamecasts.
"They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they'd make up their minds." - Wilt Chamberlain
I meant, that atleast I can make my own judgement on what the pitches are, cognicent of the camera angle. With an online representation, I can’t. Plus, I don’t feel very involved just watching a game cast.
I don’t want to invest in mlb tv this late into the season. But I probably will the next.

It’s a legal line but id on’t think it is – onlinebootycall.com may charge for its service and facilitate sex but as long as money doesn’t change hands for the actual act?
BTW – there are web sites for women seeking out sugar daddys and no one is shuting them down.

not the same :(
8-2 game, Howard with all 8 RBI’s > 6-2 game, Howard with all 6 RBI’s.

Question: are both of the runs Lee’s given up unearned? I only have the recap, and I’m not certain exactly what events led to the runs.
"When you make your final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
And all I ask of you is
Believe"
First run scored on the first Mets batter of the game. Pagan popped up, Utley dropped it and then threw it away, and Pagan circled the bases. Then, one out later, Sheffield tripled and then he scored on a sac fly.
since Pagan popup should have been an out, the sac fly would have been out nr 3, hence no ER.

He already has something at the HoF from the WS last year. Cleats, maybe—can’t remember—but it was something from Game 3.
well, i’m pretty sure he won’t get there as a player

Omar Minaya once traded Cliff Lee, Grady Sizemore, & Brandon Phillips to Cleveland for Bartolo Colon.
It seems like Minaya has made very few “neutral” moves—either enormous successes (Santana trade) or stunning FAILs like that deal.
The Santana deal was a little different though. He would only approve a trade to a team that would give him a giant new contract within 72 hours. If I remember right, Omar was basically only bidding against the Yankees and maybe another team or two.
Leadoff double stranded.
Seemed like Lee “struggled” today, yet he finishes (?) with seven innings, zero earned runs.
and no walks

If that ends Lee's day...
…he now has a 0.68 ERA and 0.75 WHIP.
Halladay wouldn’t have allowed a hit yet. And he’d be slugging 4.00.
Also Drabek and Brown will never appear in a major league game.
I assume ya’ll heard the the Met’s are happy with Mineya and Manual and are sticking w/ them for next year as of now. I think that is wonderful for the Phillies.
Technically Wilpon said Minaya was safe and then Minaya said Manuel was his guy
and as far as i’m concerned it doesn’t mean squat – i still think he could get fired…but even if he ain’t fired I expect his ability to sign long term deals will be heavily curtailed.
From things I’ve read, the Mets are just an organization run by buffons and idiots

Was he? I must admit – there were two on and that smash that turned into a triple play could have easily been a hit that scored at least one run

Seeing Lidge come into a ballgame these days reminds me of Chris Rock’s take on married life.
If you’re in a good relationship, chances are you’re bored out of your f’***in mind. All good relationships are boring. The only exciting relationships are bad ones. You never know what’s gonna happen tomorrow when you’re in a bad relationship. You never know when you’re gonna walk through the door and go, “Hey! You gave me crabs!” That’s exciting! I wanna know what tomorrow’s gonna bring!
Try to be a little more boring, Brad.
nniiiiiiiiiice!!! 1-2-3 by Lidge!!
Now that wasn’t too hard now was it? Here’s hoping Lidge can build on this and return to half of last year’s form.
