Post Game: Shake Your Rump
Posted by GravediggerHebner on 5:08pm, Wednesday July 1st 2009
"Well I'm Mike P. and I'm back from the dead"
Mike Pelfrey (6-3) pitched 7 2/3 shutout innings, helping the New York Mets to end a 5 game losing streak as they beat the Milwaukee Brewers and Yovani Gallardo (8-5) 1-0.
"I got the peg leg at the end of my stump"
The only run of the game came in the 6th inning. Ryan Church singled in Luis Castillo, who had led off the inning with a double. It was Church’s 19th RBI of the season.
"My man Sean Green's got a beard like a billy goat"
Pelfrey tired in the 8th, and was replaced with 2 outs and 2 runners on by Sean Green. Green induced J.J. Hardy to ground the ball to David Wright, who stepped on 3rd base for the force out to end the threat.
"Never been jumped 'cause I'm known the most packinest"
Francisco Rodriguez allowed a lead off single in the 9th to Ryan Braun, but then sent the Brewers 4-5-6 hitters down in order to preserve the win and record his 21st save.

Pelfrey displayed leadership today.
I’m surprised Jerry didn’t manage to lose today’s game.
*sarcasm*
hey now…a win. alright. cool.
How do they play a game like this today and play like they did the past 5 games un explainable anyway keep it up.
they still scored a total of 1 run today…so at least they’re consistent offensively.
LOL - ‘Shake Your Rump’.
We all know the only way we’re staying in this until reinforcements make their way back is with pitching, pitching and more pitching. The offense is as good as it gets with what we’re penciling in every day. We have to keep the offense off the board and capitalize on the couple of runs we might manage to get.
Apparently, Pelf got the memo.
Kudos to Big Pelf on a game very well pitched.
This is something I didn’t think we’d see from Pelf until next year. He was a stopper today. After the all-star break when Santana is his second-half self, if we get healthy and have Pelfrey, Maine, and Perez living up to capabilities we will win the division.
lol thanks for doing the mua’s grave lol ;p

hey, I called the big game from Pelf. Now I better start making more predictions!
great game by wright really producing an 0-4 game with 3 strikeouts, im getting real tired of his strikeouts and lack of power
dude, wth? The guy is having a great season. He is at or near the top of the league in most offensive categories, and he is even batting well over .300 with RISP. He is carrying the team with all the injuries, and yet people still try to knock him down.
You getting tired of his fantastic offensive stats and SB’s also? He did the right thing by altering his approach at the plate to better suit citifields dimensions.
Crap I need to find a different excuse for drinking tonight.
Good job Pelf way to step it up.
I never imagined that someone called Salty would need an excuse!
You could focus on Pelfrey’s lat muscle hurting him. Who knows how the Mets medical staff will butcher that? Now I need a drink.
lol salty it;s july 1st - national drinking day !! ( Imade that up but he what the fruck lol)
btw good game today pelf showed balls!!
You right. Thanks for talking some sense into me. Cheers!
thanks for putting up the metspolice link to the blog spot guys
watching the replay of the game. what’s up w/ people not wearing underwear?
kingman, did you catch David’s response to Franco:
“With all due respect to Johnny, he doesn’t know what’s going on in this clubhouse,” Wright said Wednesday, after the Mets beat the Milwaukee Brewers 1-0 to stop a five-game losing streak. “I don’t feel the need to have to defend myself as a leader. If these guys in here respect me and think of me as a leader, that’s what I need.”
No–thanks Case!
Great win–must have been Jerry’s meeting!
whether the meeting made a difference, I think calling the meeting was a good idea
