  And you’re surprised why?

  Isnt that typical of our season? Hell, they way our season is going, I’m surprised it wasnt a quadruple out
  • Nick August 23, 2009 at 4:44 pm

    Well, I blame Manuel for this. Did he send the runners on that play? I think so, so if he did not Castillo scores and Murphy and Francoeur would have been on base. Now, we do not know what would have happen next but this just makes my hate for Manuel grow.
• Met Maniac August 23, 2009 at 4:58 pm

  Gimme a freaking break. Manuel blew the game by putting the hit and run on with a free swinger like Francoeur at the plate. If Bruntlett doesn’t go cover second after the runners took off, thats a base hit, the score is 9-8, men an first and third, and nobody out, MANUEL, YOU SUCK!

    I love it. This takes second-guessing to a new extreme.
  • Pete M. August 23, 2009 at 5:12 pm

    There was nothing wrong with putting the hit and run on. Francoeur actually makes good contact.

    Talk about 2nd guessing You can officially pronounce yourself as having a Masters in 2nd Guessing.

      You’re blaming Manual for what happened? What planet are you from? Why don’t you give the other Manual credit then for the triple play. Wake up dude.
• Liz August 23, 2009 at 5:08 pm

  I just want to scream right now. aaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!
• Pete M. August 23, 2009 at 5:10 pm

  This one really knocked the wind out of me. Lost in all of this is how they bounced back after being down 6-0 to score seven runs. Not to forget the Pagan inside the parker. This one was a real kick in the gut.
  • Mr North Jersey August 23, 2009 at 5:19 pm

    agreed
• sixxis August 23, 2009 at 5:18 pm

  Are you guys kidding me?! You’re blaming jerry manuel for this? It was an aggressive move by a manager whose style has been questioned all year long and now that a rare occurrence has transpired, you want to find fault?
  It sucks but, the guy was in position to make a play and he did, tip your cap. Let the outcry be towards oliver perez who once again comes up small.
  • Mr North Jersey August 23, 2009 at 5:20 pm

    Circle gets the Square
  • Strawman August 23, 2009 at 5:21 pm

    true that, Perez should be the object of our anger not Manuel.
• Strawman August 23, 2009 at 5:20 pm

  The Phillies are destiny’s team. This game proves it. With Cliff Lee they’ll rule the division for years to come.
  • Mr North Jersey August 23, 2009 at 5:21 pm

    Funny you use the word destiny I made a similar comment over at T.R.D.M.B.
  • Rick J August 24, 2009 at 10:19 am

    Enjoy it while you can. Free agency has a way of breaking teams up very quickly.
• efrain August 23, 2009 at 5:43 pm

  wow
• Lisa P. August 23, 2009 at 5:50 pm

  Did you guys see Francoeur during the post game? They finally wiped the smile off of his face. He was completely beside himself.
• Philsguy81 August 23, 2009 at 6:31 pm

  Ha, the Mets are such losers. I love it
  • METS4EVA August 23, 2009 at 11:10 pm

    This comment would be a lot better gone. I bet if your team didn’t have Howard, Utley, Rollins,or Victorino this wouldn’t even be posted casue the Phillies would be… nonexistant. So why don’t you take your pride, your ignorance, and your faggotry of this website and talk to someone who actually likes you. I mean honestly grow up.
  • Rick J August 24, 2009 at 10:20 am

    This web site is for Mets fans. Beat it!
    • D.C. August 24, 2009 at 10:32 am

      Stop polluting your Philly air in here. You and the city of Philly are a cesspool.
• Kelly H August 23, 2009 at 6:40 pm

  Point fingers all you want, that was a freak thing otherwise it wouldn’t be so rare. But if it was going to happen to anyone it was going to happen to the 2009 Mets. Damn the luck!
• Dave August 23, 2009 at 6:59 pm

  yeah cause that only happens to the Mets.
• theonlymaskman August 23, 2009 at 7:27 pm

  Ollie was unbelievable in this one. This is a pitching performance beyond comparison on the negative side of the ledger. Pagan’s inside the parker was actually a tric play in that Victorino went for the trap appeal and that allowed Pagan to go all the way. If he played it straight, Pagan would not have made it all the way around. I’ve hated Eric Bruntlett for a long time. He always seems to come in and kill the Mets in some way. But this one belongs to Ollie for sucking beyond comparison.
• Kay August 23, 2009 at 7:39 pm

  I can’t believe the blind hatred for Jerry Manual from some of you people. Its raining out – Its Manual’s fault. The economy sucks its Manual’s fault.

  They play aggressive – its Manuals Fault
  They play passive – its Manuals Fault

  GIVE ME A BREAK ALREADY
  • Ace August 23, 2009 at 7:49 pm

    Kay, you really think this guy has been a good manager? He wasn’t ready. At first I was onboard because he gets fired up and the Mets really need that passion in the clubhouse. But having watched his managerial skills unfold, I can’t say he was ready to step up to that level yet. He still needs some mentoring.
    • Kay August 23, 2009 at 7:56 pm

      I didn’t say that nor allude to the fact whether he was good, but at the same rate, EVERYTHING he does he gets blamed for and the fan base has a blind hatred for the guy and its a lose lose situation now and people are not thinking clearly and blaming him for everything.

      If he didn’t have the hit and run on then you’d be hearing “He’s so soft why didn’t he play aggressively”

      I do not think people are being objective anymore.
      • Ace August 23, 2009 at 8:56 pm

        Perhaps your right about the blind hatred. I however am trying to be objective in my own evaluation of his performance. I feel maybe someday he can step into a role like this, but he needed better mentoring and unfortunately no one above him on the totem pole has the ability to do that. I do not feel like firing him is the answer, but I feel maybe having step down a step and bringing on an experienced manager would be more appropriate at this stage.

    That little snot Victorino made a jackass out of himself by helping Pagan get an inside the park homerun. What a gamer! hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahah
    • D.C. August 24, 2009 at 10:31 am

      Brain Freeze Victorino.
  • D.C. August 24, 2009 at 10:39 am

    Is Victorino afraid of getting another beer bath? lol. Philadelphia=Cesspool.
• sarge August 23, 2009 at 11:40 pm

  Bruntlett if you look at the positioning before the pitch was already in the area of the line drive. Tough luck for us Metsies but it was not Jerry’s fauls cause if the ball finds the gap, tie game and he is a genius.
• Rick J August 24, 2009 at 10:15 am

  You should say “Now I’ve seen everything, for now”. You never know what’s going to happen on Friday. I believe that’s Perez’s next ouching, I mean outing.
• Jeff August 24, 2009 at 10:58 am

  The blame for the Triple Play is Jerry Manuel’s with out a doubt in anyone’s mind. Your playing your arch rivals, and your down by 2 in the bottom of the 9th with 0 outs. When I was growing up I was always told that you NEVER steal when you are down and have runners on base with 0 outs. You just NEVER do that. Because if Franceour doesn’t make contact the catcher is likely to throw somebody out either third or second. Which still means you have one less runner. And to have it be a hit and run play is even more stupid because if you hit it up the middle (like Franceour did and like most clutch hitters do) the second basemen will be heading towards the bag when you have runners on 2nd and 3rd because the shortstop would be expecting the ball to be hit his way because Jeff’s a righty. It’s just the little things that makes Manuel a terrible manager and I hope he gets fired. End of story.
• Jeff August 24, 2009 at 11:01 am

  not to mention being almost last in your division and being one of the most embarrassing teams in baseball. The Nats are playing better ball.
