Friday the 13th in Hu'ston IGT

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 13 2011 07:32 AM

Feeling good today as Gee opposes Bud Norris. I missed the 'stros visit to NYC last month on vacation, so as far as I'm concerned I think we can go out there and take them lightly. LGM, YGB yyy, bbb

Today, the team with more Jasons should win.

Ceetar May 13 2011 08:44 AM Re: Friday the 13th in Hu'ston IGT

Odds are 3:1 that R.A. Dickey shows up to the park today looking like Jason.

TransMonk May 13 2011 01:32 PM Re: Friday the 13th in Hu'ston IGT

1. Jose Reyes SS 2. Josh Thole C 3. David Wright 3B 4. Carlos Beltran RF 5. Jason Bay LF 6. Daniel Murphy 1B 7. Justin Turner 2B 8. Jason Pridie CF 9. Dillon Gee P Thole back up in the two-hole. I wonder what that's all about.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 13 2011 01:32 PM Re: Friday the 13th in Hu'ston IGT

Um, yay Mets

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 13 2011 01:50 PM Re: Friday the 13th in Hu'ston IGT

If nothing else, Pridie's proving himself ultracapable at covering ground in CF; that said, Farty gets a starty at some point this weekend, I have to believe.

Gee gets out of the second with a lttle help from his friends.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 13 2011 06:37 PM Re: Friday the 13th in Hu'ston IGT

As buoying as the tightrope-walking was in the bottom of the second, I'm getting a sinking feeling that our boys missed out on a rare chance to do some MAJOR damage in that first. Norris seems to be settling in.

Somebody remind the Mets that they're better than the Astros. Howie comparing Hunter Pence to George Theodore as Gee strikes him out... like George Theodore.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 13 2011 07:30 PM Re: Friday the 13th in Hu'ston IGT

Beltran missed making it a 2-run lead by an inch or two inside on the bat handle; that dub was struck with violence. Other than that... Norris is working the big-ass strike-zone very nicely.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 13 2011 07:53 PM Re: Friday the 13th in Hu'ston IGT

It didn't seem like one play... more like three stages, or something. Thanks be for creative baserunning/Astros third-base coach Dave Clark.

I'll like it better if we get out of this inning. Tough park to score on a single in. Thankfully, for us.

Pridie's not getting a ton of hits, but he sure is making 'em count.

Edgy DC May 13 2011 08:53 PM Re: Friday the 13th in Hu'ston IGT

Houston booth: "Paulino is the first Mets player to get five hits in his first start since Hank Foyles." I'm thinking... "Who?" Somebody misread the game notes. He was actually the first catcher to do so. Not the first Met.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 13 2011 08:55 PM Re: Friday the 13th in Hu'ston IGT

Nice Justin-hustlin'. Y'know what it is? Pridie has punished mistakes.

Wow, Wright with the last out in his hands, all the time in the world, and he doesn't get the yips. Cool as snow for once. Love it.

Frayed Knot May 13 2011 09:14 PM Re: Friday the 13th in Hu'ston IGT

Very nice win - especially after things looked lifeless for about 6 innings there - and maybe the start to a nice weekend. Tied the Nats for 4th and within 2 games of Atlanta. The Fartinez HR was really the big moment even though Wright's was the eventual game-winner. My KTE contributions called the Bay HR (the first of several this weekend) although Lee is still making unexpectedly good catches against us which I swore were a thing of the past.

Edgy DC May 13 2011 09:21 PM Re: Friday the 13th in Hu'ston IGT

The Mets behind until the eighth, but managed to play a full game without Harris, Hairston, or Byrdak entering the field. Not to beat up on those guys, but it's sweet to get a whiff of some future. I was kind of thinking that Martinez should've stayed in the game and replaced Beltran after he made the last out. It would have kept them from swapping catchers and given Beltran's knees a two-inning rest. But then I realized Martinez's legs are as precious to us as Beltran's. Besides, they could well have needed Beltran's bat one more time.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 13 2011 09:27 PM Re: Friday the 13th in Hu'ston IGT

Yeah I was about to resign myself to another stretch of the offense-less Mets. Hafta say, whoever posted that video of Fartinez going deep the other day, that swing was definitely on mind when he got up there to hit and so I believed it could happen. Kudos too to Turner who scored 2 big runs and Misch, who must've got the win.

smg58 May 13 2011 09:28 PM Re: Friday the 13th in Hu'ston IGT

Nothing like a little power surge to put things right. All three guys needed it, too. I'd almost be surprised if the third base coach for the Astros still has his job tomorrow. That was embarrassing. And then he holds Wallace at third as the tying run with two out. The Astros look need to change more than their owners, although that would be a good start. They look a little too comfortable losing.

Frayed Knot May 13 2011 09:31 PM Re: Friday the 13th in Hu'ston IGT Edited 1 time(s), most recently on May 14 2011 06:41 AM

Wallace was dead there in the 9th if he tried to go so it was the right call. But that [crossout:3l0wr11o]1st[/crossout:3l0wr11o] 2nd inning decision was atrocious. No one out and you're sending Carlos Lee?@?@?!?!?!

He may never be Willie Mays or Carlos Beltran, but I think he still has a good chance to be Bobby Abreu. I'd take me a little John Milner. Or maybe Shin-Soo Choo with a designated driver. I'm a fan.
