Nice ninth inning.

After the Phillies casually stole three bases in three attempts in the ninth inning, the Mets' catcher talks some trash:

"We'll get our chance to come back and take care of these guys," Lo Duca said. "They're dancing around the field now, but we'll see what happens when the time comes."

Watch a replay of Jose Reyes scoring in the eighth inning. Literally, clapping and prancing as he was running down the baseline. Followed by, I'm quite sure, a choreographed dugout celebration uniquely designed for each of his teammates. In a game which his team eventually lost.

I find it hard to believe that Paul Loduca, of all people, has the audacity to talk so much and so often.

He has 33 runs batted in this year and is being paid $6.25 million.
