Bidge - 2B...that's not meant to be Lidge is it..has he given up pitching?

Gwreck Jul 05 2007 05:49 PM

Bidge = nickname for Biggio.

Johnny Dickshot Jul 05 2007 06:08 PM

Reyes: first triple since June 2.

seawolf17 Jul 05 2007 06:09 PM

Ledee: First RBI since Little League.

Johnny Dickshot Jul 05 2007 06:10 PM

Remember when Jason Jennings destroyed us? Hit a few homers and shut us out... it might have been his 1st or 2nd career start. His ass has become really enormous.

Frayed Knot Jul 05 2007 06:14 PM

Not that either of those first two ABs were Pence's (CF) or Berkmna's (1B) fault ... but Houston is a bad fielding team in that they've got about 5 guys on the field at one time whose best position is LF/DH/1B (and, once again, we don't know our enemy as well as we should)

Frayed Knot Jul 05 2007 06:17 PM

two in the top of the 1st ... will probably be our last as per recent trends.

Edgy DC Jul 05 2007 06:25 PM

Early lead Early lead Foreshadowing A night of need?

His first MLB start...only pitcher in history to throw a compete game shutout and hit a homer in his maiden game...thanks Gary.

]His first MLB start...only pitcher in history to throw a compete game shutout and hit a homer in his maiden game...thanks Gary. I don't believe Gary shared that xtra tidbit about the size of Jennings' caboose. CPF: You get the whole story here.

So Gary brings up the Rockies series and they show a clip of Willie talking about it,his usual cool self,then Keith spends five minutes talking aobut the fucking yankees and how they handle things...who gives a shit man.

Frayed Knot Jul 05 2007 06:45 PM

Don't worry 'bout leaving them bases loaded like that Carlos ... it's not like we're gonna need those runs later or anything.

Johnny Dickshot Jul 05 2007 06:45 PM

Maine looks extra crispy tonight.

metirish Jul 05 2007 06:50 PM

Delgado with warning track power...double of the wall...430 foot away.

Edgy DC Jul 05 2007 06:50 PM

New strategy, put the pill on the hill.

Frayed Knot Jul 05 2007 06:50 PM

Pence actually caught one of Ryan Howard's drive on that hill the other day, right up against one of those flag poles. Just Delgado's luck tho huh? Hit's one 430+ and gets only a double.

Johnny Dickshot Jul 05 2007 06:52 PM

Not for nothing but if Delgado would only improve a lot of our other issues would go away. I said the same thing about my complexion in high school.

Edgy DC Jul 05 2007 06:56 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jul 05 2007 06:56 PM

Valentin hustling. Important run he brings home.

Johnny Dickshot Jul 05 2007 06:56 PM

Farmer Ted Jul 05 2007 07:02 PM

Astros announcers tell me that the Mets are 17-8 when Rastro is in the lineup.

Edgy DC Jul 05 2007 07:08 PM

Go Maine. K K K K K K K

Edgy DC Jul 05 2007 07:11 PM

Aflac trivia in Houston. Fonzie is the answer.

Kid Carsey Jul 05 2007 07:19 PM

That was some game by Edgardo.

Johnny Dickshot Jul 05 2007 07:19 PM

It turned Seventeen to Thirteen.

Edgy DC Jul 05 2007 07:22 PM

I'm glad that bouncer down the third-base line wasn't the first hit. The gain of Maine makes LaRussa look insane.

metirish Jul 05 2007 07:23 PM

And the guy form teh Pirates won his ninth game today...did LaRussa actually get to pick Oswalt...Young won the online vote.

Edgy DC Jul 05 2007 07:28 PM

All of a sudden, Luke Scott is Joe Rudi.

Edgy DC Jul 05 2007 07:35 PM

I know he was once a top prospect, and maybe he's a wunnerful guy or something, but I fear no team that puts Eric Munson in uniform. He symbolizes more than anybody (even Easley) those awful Tiger teams of the early eighties. I nonetheless applaud Houston for returning him to catcher after all these years. It's like he's finally realizing the legacy of his name.

Nymr83 Jul 05 2007 07:53 PM

John Maine says "you want to leave ME off the allstar team?" 6 innings, no runs, 8 k's.

Johnny Dickshot Jul 05 2007 07:56 PM

And the 'Stros have been hot lately. Maine is being a legit stopper right now.

metirish Jul 05 2007 07:58 PM

Keith - " the Astro pen has been head and shoulders for lack of a better word worse than the phillies".....

Edgy DC Jul 05 2007 07:58 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jul 05 2007 08:11 PM

Wright looking fastball and goes down chasing the deuce. I feel real vulnerable when David gets fooled.

Edgy DC Jul 05 2007 08:01 PM

Delgado has had a good day, getting his batting average up to .240 and his OBP above .300.

Johnny Dickshot Jul 05 2007 08:09 PM

+ my zits are finally clearing up...

Edgy DC Jul 05 2007 08:12 PM

Don't think I won't be desperately ticking those decimals off.

Edgy DC Jul 05 2007 08:14 PM

Keith Hernandez playing first for Houston?

Nymr83 Jul 05 2007 08:14 PM

a second half monster delgado would be nice, but the way he's looked i'm not optimistic.

Nymr83 Jul 05 2007 08:15 PM

Johnny Dickshot Jul 05 2007 08:18 PM

Thing is, I can't imagine any deadline deal that really helps us enough if Delgado doesn't *also* improve, at least to median respectability. Well, unless it's a trade that replaces Delgado which is nearly unimaginable. Little greedy here with Maine?

metirish Jul 05 2007 08:21 PM

No fucking way...keith is wearing those ugly blue rubber clogs....

metirish Jul 05 2007 08:23 PM

Maine done fo rthe night...121 pitches,7 2/3 innnnings.. Mets 5 Astros 1

Kid Carsey Jul 05 2007 08:26 PM

Beltran too, Johnny. Alou too. I feel like we've been treadin' water waiting for a big wave to drown us.

metirish Jul 05 2007 08:27 PM

If the Mets lose this game I'll give up....not that confident in Smith any more..

Kid Carsey Jul 05 2007 08:32 PM

Keef doing the F X Healy impersonation ... gotta love it.
