Game Recap:: Phillies 3 -- Mets 2

I don't know what to say...

Marlon Anderson touched the bag. Thats all I have to say. Why call this...when you don't call this a week ago...or any other time EVER. Marlon...that was silly...but still...that is sooooooooooooooooo rarely called. The Mets dropped the third game of the series by a score of 3-2.

Oliver Perez was shaky in the first, but settled down very nicely. Perez gave up two home runs in the first inning, then did not allow another hit until the 5th inning. Perez had the bases loaded and no one out, but only allowed one run to score. He allowed 5 hits and 3 earned runs. He walked 5 batters and struck out 10.

...a much better start from Olli of late...good to see...

Jorge Sosa came out of the pen and pitched 2 great innings of relief. He allowed one hit, a double to lead off the 8th to Ryan Howard, but never allowed him to advance while getting 3 straight outs.

David Wright went 2-3 with a solo home run in the first inning.
Carlos Beltran went 2-4 and scored on a Carlos Delgado single in the 4th.
Delgy went 2-4 on the night.

...c'mon Delgy...get over that hump...

Here is how the 9th went down...
Paul Lo Duca ducks a one out single into right field, and gets pinch run for by Endy Chavez. Marlon Anderson pinch hitting behind him, shoots a ball into the gap between right and center field. Endy goes first to third. Shawn Green up, hits a slow chopper to Jimmy Rollins, who tosses it to Iguchi who get hit pretty hard by Marlon Anderson and is called for interference, ending the game.

...Marlon hit him hard, yes...but how often is this called...
...just last week, there was a play MUCH worse than this...and there was no call...
...ughhhh...only the Mets...
