Thought for sure that Jose would get another game to think over his actions.

Kid Carsey Jul 07 2007 04:30 PM

I didn't read the papers today, listen to any talk radio, do anything baseball related online today ... so I don't know if this story got bigger than last night. Willie made his point, Reyes doesn't have a leg to stand on ... hopefully that's that and he'll bust it out of the box on EVERY opportunity.

metirish Jul 07 2007 04:44 PM

No need to sit Reyes for the game tonight,if he didn't get the message after being told to sit then he's clueless,Reyes got the messgae from what I have read and hearing him after the game.

Kid Carsey Jul 07 2007 05:41 PM

Middle of three, Mets got no "O" again ...

Kid Carsey Jul 07 2007 06:09 PM

Delgado, O, owl ... 3-2 with no outs in the top of the fifth.

Johnny Dickshot Jul 07 2007 06:19 PM

Glavine with a rare shut-em-down following a Met scoring inning. So we're set now with the top of the order against a weakening Woody Williams.

Edgy DC Jul 07 2007 06:24 PM

I like the Goat. Don't like batting him second.

Kid Carsey Jul 07 2007 06:37 PM

Wright KabOOms One tO make it 3-3 with nO Outs in the tOp O'seven. O ... Owl.

Edgy DC Jul 07 2007 06:56 PM

More o' that shit. More.

Johnny Dickshot Jul 07 2007 07:01 PM

The Goat done good hitting 2nd there. Now if Beltran can get one...

Elster88 Jul 07 2007 07:03 PM

Houston really booing the shit out of Beltran. It must feel like Opening Day at Shea 2006 to him. Must be nice for the home team when the fans make the other team uncomfortable.

Johnny Dickshot Jul 07 2007 07:15 PM

Candilicious. Heilman is a little fastball happy tonight.

These games are much more nerve-wracking on the road.

Kid Carsey Jul 07 2007 07:44 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jul 07 2007 07:45 PM

Walkin' the first guy in the bottom of an extra inning game can't be a good start.

Elster88 wrote: ="Edgy DC"]Waggie bailin' out Heilman like an all-star fireman. Feliciano not Wags Well, I wast old that he was warming up when I was otherwise told to do the dishes. The rest of my sentence stands, I guess. Duh. I'm going to guess 59-60-61 is the highest three-number sequence we've ever had, even if the three were never on the roster at once.

Johnny Dickshot Jul 07 2007 07:44 PM

Walking Ausmus as the leadoff hitter was directly responsible for losing yesterday.

Edgy DC Jul 07 2007 07:46 PM

I like Mike Lamb's game, but I don't go for batters squaring before a pitcher comes to his stop. But he got the bunt down and the batter to second.

Edgy DC Jul 07 2007 07:49 PM

K-gio.

Kid Carsey Jul 07 2007 07:50 PM

MOta!

Frayed Knot Jul 07 2007 07:50 PM

Mota gets behind EVERYBODY but survives.

Johnny Dickshot Jul 07 2007 07:51 PM

I think Hunter Pence is retarded, or maybe just brain damaged.

Frayed Knot Jul 07 2007 07:54 PM

First ball Beltran's had out of the infield all game ... and it still sucked.

Johnny Dickshot Jul 07 2007 08:02 PM

Edgy DC Jul 07 2007 08:05 PM

Mo' Mota. The Houston on-field interview babe is named Patty Smith.

Edgy DC Jul 07 2007 08:09 PM

OK, Beltran earned his money there.

Kid Carsey Jul 07 2007 08:11 PM

MOta!

Johnny Dickshot Jul 07 2007 08:12 PM

Great work for Mota. Between innings, hit TNT for what used to be called the Firecracker 400.

Frayed Knot Jul 07 2007 08:15 PM

I assume Sandy Alomar Jr is still on the roster meaning Castro should be used to try to pop one.

Edgy DC Jul 07 2007 08:16 PM

So, Smith threw four pitches Thursday, 18 Tuesday, and 24 Monday. Coming up we have a righty, a pinch-hitter, a righty, and Mike Lamb, a lefty who hits lefties best historically. Smith is next, right? OE: All three available Astro pinch-hitters are lefthanded.

Johnny Dickshot Jul 07 2007 08:17 PM

Wagner is next.

Edgy DC Jul 07 2007 08:18 PM

Get right, Julio.

Johnny Dickshot Jul 07 2007 08:22 PM

Sandy Junior: "Dad, you're embarrassing me."

metsmarathon Jul 07 2007 08:22 PM

lets get 'em, hustle-boy!

Edgy DC Jul 07 2007 08:22 PM

Good call by Alomar.

Frayed Knot Jul 07 2007 08:23 PM

Green's smarts just saved Sandy Sr. from tallying up another one in the 'Out at Home' file - and it would have been the worst decision to date.

Edgy DC Jul 07 2007 08:24 PM

I missed on the Houston feed that Green was breaking on his own.

Johnny Dickshot Jul 07 2007 08:24 PM

Let Green's hustle be a lesson.

Wow, as soon as expect Ausmus to beat us he doesn't.

Edgy DC Jul 07 2007 08:37 PM

Well, that was a big out. I still say Lamb cooks lefties.

Johnny Dickshot Jul 07 2007 08:40 PM

Joe hasn't been too kind to his predecessors lately.

Johnny Dickshot Jul 07 2007 08:44 PM

And Joe Smith wins Rookie of the Year! Hunter Pence 2nd, 1st in retard division.

Edgy DC Jul 07 2007 08:46 PM

"Daddy, what if there was no Joe Smith." "Hush up, boy." "But..." "I said stop talking foolishness."

Frayed Knot Jul 07 2007 08:47 PM

OK, here we go. This Albers guy has given up 65 baserunners in 39 innings. Time to tee off.

Johnny Dickshot Jul 07 2007 08:51 PM

65 in 40

metsmarathon Jul 07 2007 08:51 PM

i'm so not into mcnuggets...

Edgy DC Jul 07 2007 08:54 PM

Loretta-Lee-Ensberg. I guess every day Loretta's looking more like the secondbaseman we should've signed, but he's 0-5 today. Beats Beltran's 0-6.

Frayed Knot Jul 07 2007 08:56 PM

Smith tells Loretta to get back. Maybe later on he'll make Lamb lie down on Broadway.

metirish Jul 07 2007 08:58 PM

I've only come in and seen the last few innings but Gary says Reyes didn't run hard in his first two AB's.WTF?

Edgy DC Jul 07 2007 08:59 PM

Six scoreless out of the pen.

Edgy DC Jul 07 2007 09:02 PM

Anybody else notice the fan lying down behind the batter?

Johnny Dickshot Jul 07 2007 09:02 PM

This Albans guy looks like Skip F. LOckwood, for Pete sakes.

Edgy DC Jul 07 2007 09:05 PM

Crap. OK, Smiff's got to return. He's only thrown 14 pitches.

Johnny Dickshot Jul 07 2007 09:06 PM

Burke's faking it.

Johnny Dickshot Jul 07 2007 09:08 PM

The sewn-on nameplates and narrow numerals make the Astros unis just awful.

Edgy DC Jul 07 2007 09:10 PM

Damn, that winning run has been on third for about four innings now.

Edgy DC Jul 07 2007 09:12 PM

Yeah, I probably walk Lamb.

Edgy DC Jul 07 2007 09:13 PM

OK, double switch in Alomar and Wagner now.

Nymr83 Jul 07 2007 09:15 PM

Beltran with a big catch at the top of the bullshit hill in centerfield!

Endy Who?

Edgy DC Jul 07 2007 09:18 PM

Luuuuuke... Carlos is your reeeal father.

Johnny Dickshot Jul 07 2007 09:20 PM

That's why Beltran's struggles at the plate are more forgivable. He's really a nice centerfiedler. Made a few catches on Lee's shots earlier this game look easy but prolly weren't even a little.

Edgy DC Jul 07 2007 09:22 PM

Finish the job, Carlos.

Frayed Knot Jul 07 2007 09:22 PM

They already hate you Carlos so you might as well knock a run in too.

Edgy DC Jul 07 2007 09:26 PM

I'm really not keen on seeing Sele warming up out there. Nothing personal.

Johnny Dickshot Jul 07 2007 09:29 PM

Wagner?

Edgy DC Jul 07 2007 09:30 PM

Hopefully.

Johnny Dickshot Jul 07 2007 09:32 PM

See Lee. See Lee suck. Suck, Lee, suck.

Frayed Knot Jul 07 2007 09:34 PM

Not that I'm complaining, but all these "successful" bunts haven't produced a run yet.

Edgy DC Jul 07 2007 09:34 PM

Four sacrifices for the Astros, all by real batters.

Green seems to get the dinkiest hits and the hardest outs.

Johnny Dickshot Jul 07 2007 09:41 PM

It;s like a script: Astros: Get the leadoff guy on, bunt him over, leave him on 3rd. Mets: Threaten with 2 out and nobody on. Again and again.

All the Astros are essentially out of positon to start with so it's not like he has anything to lose, but Man, he's made a ton of them tonight. Must have had at lest 3 different 1Bs and RFs alone.

An earlier post correctly stated that the 'pen could use a fresh arm. Pelfrey will not be needed until a week from Monday, if at all. If Ollie and/or Sosa returns, and Williams pitches well today, then Pelfrey won't get another turn. OM should send down Pelfrey and get another reliever for today's game.
