In Geary

The Mets load the bases in the bottom of the 8th against Geoff Geary. They gave away an out on a poor bunt with men on 1st and 2nd; the Phillies were able to get the lead runner. But Franco walks to bring up Reyes, who hits a ball to shortstop. It would be a tough double play, but Rollins boots it and all hands are safe. The Mets tie the game at 5, and Hamels won't get a win.

Update: With Lo Duca up, Geary throws a pitch over the catcher's head to give the Mets a 6-5 lead.

Update: Lo Duca walks, prompting Manuel to finally pull Geary. Lieber comes in and Beltran hits a sacrifice fly to give the Mets a two run lead.

Update: Wright puts an exclamation point on the inning with a two run double off the fence down the left field line. It's 9-5.

Update: Alou drives in two more. The Shea fans are really getting on Jimmy Rollins, but I can't really hear what they're saying. I assume it's "Team to beat!"

Update: The Phillies finally get out of the inning. They'll face Wagner in the top of the 9th.

I was at the game. The fans were unimaginatively chanting "Jim-my Rol-lins" in a sarcastic tone.

My friend Rob and I were chanting "Lay down the law, Moises" when Alou was up, but that was probably too subtle for anyone else to join in.
