Doctors are having a difficult time determining the progress of Josh Thole. Thole was placed on MLB's new 7 Day Disabled List specifically for players who have suffered a concussion or are having concussion syndrome symptoms.
Dr. Hurtcher Knoggin explains why treating Josh has been so difficult, "There really is no way to differentiate between a symptom and Mr. Thole's normal demeanor. Josh often has the look of a stunned child on Christmas morning-part sleepy, part befuddled, part simple joy. Because of this, we have developed a new test specifically for him. Once every hour we surprise Josh by flashing Ty Wigginton's baseball card at him. This always catches Josh off guard, and then he starts to ask, "When is Mr. Wonka coming to free me with the Golden Ticket?" When he stops repeating this phrase at the sight of Mr. Wigginton, he will then be ready to resume baseball activities."
Mets 10 - Phillies 6
Back By Popular Demand...The Happy Nightcap
PHUCK THE PHILLIES
Now we know what Charlie Manuel was searching for in the depths of his nose last night - relief pitchers. Sorry Charlie. The Mets beat the snot out of you and your sorry ass pen, clubbing their way to a 10 - 6 win.
The camera shots of Phillies fans running to the exits as the Mets crushed the ball was a sight to be savored by Mets fans. Dillion Gee was not great but he kept the Mets close enough to pounce.
Ike Davis doubled off the wall and demolished a 3 run blast deep into the night. Andres Torres, Daniel Murphy, David Wright and Scott Hairston all contributed with their bats.
The Phillies were pathetic on defense, led by Hunter Pence - who patrolled Right Field like Ichabod Crane on Crystal Meth.
Hey, Jimmy Rollins...how does it feel to have the ragtag NY Mets bend you over second base and shove the Liberty Bell up your ass? Mets Blob imagines it feels pretty special.
