IGT, 6/7 Pedro v. Oswalt

[Guest Edgy DC]

Sons of Rusty 1) Palmiero. cf 2) Burke, lf 3) Biggio, 2b 4) Berkman, rf 5) Ensberg, 3b 6) Lamb, 1b 7) Everett, ss 8) Ausmus, c 9) Oswalt, p

=blue]Sons of Ed 1) Reyes. ss 2) Cameron, rf 3) Beltran, cf 4) Floyd, lf 5) Piazza, c 6) Anderson, 1b 7) Wright, 3b 8) Matsui, 2b 9) Martinez, p

Wright still buried in the lineup. Great play by Matsui to open. Ralph sounds wasted.

Who let Roberto Alomar into the building?

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Matsui adjusts nicely going to his right on a grounder that skimmed off the lip of the grass in the first, then Anderson picked the throw on a long hop.

Cameron and Cliff double-double for a run. Cameron looked to tweak his leg, but stayed in and scored the run.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

With two outs Kaz takes a two-strike pitch through the hole past short to clear Pedro.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Nine consecutive Astros have experienced futility in facing Pedro thus far.

Reyes with a leadoff single to start the 3rd

[Guest holychicken]

and promptly gets picked off/caught stealing. . . or got screwed by a missed hit and run. . . and then cameron Ks. . . great

[seawolf17]

Fran Healy just said that defense was Brad Ausmus's "fort." Not "forte," mind you, but his "fort." I guess a fort is for defense, but Fran Healy is a moron.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

I wonder if F.X. Healy is aware of the board moving. His insightful comments on cahn-fidence, nervous systems, and preparatory hitches would be sorely missed were he to disappear.

[Guest holychicken]

Beautiful 6-4-3 double play

2 down in the 4th

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Only baserunner for the Astros so far came on a walk, and was erased on a DP. 1-0 Mets, middle 5.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Pedro leads off the fifth with a clean single to center.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

The 'Stros blow a sure DP when no one covers second on Reyes' hard chop to third. Cameron and Beltran follow with singles, and it's 2-0.

Cameron almost picked off third. That woulda hurt with Floyd up.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Three more Astros retired. Eighteen have batted through six.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Matsui with another two-out single, this one of the infield variety, to clear Pedro once again.

6-4 1 down in the 7th

[Guest ABG]

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...I jinxed it.

I couldn't help myself and turned on the radio instead of sticking with Gamecast, just as Burke was going deep.

[Batty31]

There goes the no no. 'sigh'

[Guest holychicken]

D'oh. . . my fault, I thought bad thoughts. . . home run by burke :(

[Guest holychicken]

10 hits 2 runs
1 hit 1 run

something wrong here. . .

[Guest Spacemans Bong]

I blame Kiner. He kept calling it a no-hitter through 6.

STFU, worst HOF pick ever.

[seawolf17]

I blame Healy. He started talking about it at the end of the sixth.

[soupcan]

Stop apologizing - it was my brother-in-law's fault.

As my phone rang the ball left the yard. The phone stopped ringing, I looked at the caller ID and saw it was him. I called him back and he said the was calling to tell me about the possible no-no (HE was calling ME to tell me? Please).

He jinxed it.

[Guest ABG]

My friend just told me he took off his socks just before Burke's at bat, so we can call blame him.

[soupcan]

Why can't people just sit perfectly still and not move at all when these things are unfolding?!

Geez Louise.

[Guest holychicken]

I blame everyone except pedro.

[soupcan]

Reyes 4-3.

Cameron 5-3.

Beltran singles to right,

Franco warming in the pen? Heh-heh-heh.

[Guest holychicken]

Doesn't beltran realize that he is supposed to homer tonight?

[Guest Swan Swan H]

It's on!!!

[seawolf17]

That was the worst baseball fight ever.
