Astros score one in the first while my daughter and I were doing the dishes, then her future husband goes:



Katie Wright. Has a nice ring to it.

You gotta love that David Wright.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Glavine cruises through the fourth on a pop-up and two Ks.

Beltran starts the fourth with a double. He's 2-2 tonight.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Mr. Wright drives in Beltran with a single to LC. 2-1 Metsies.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Glavine continues to cruise. Pettite rolling along as well. 2-1 Mets, end of 5.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

A scoreless sixth ends with Floyd striking out. Still 2-1 Mets.

Worst. IGT. Ever.

[Guest cooby]

No, you're doing great!

[Guest Swan Swan H]

A pity post from cooby. I'm blushing.

[Guest cooby]

I can't even watch the game, you are indispensable.

[seawolf17]

Go, one-man IGT!

We just got back from shoe shopping. Kids, don't get married. (Just kidding.)

[nymr83]

amen to that, i don't need some b**** dragging me around shopping.

nice defense by Reyes to save a run.

I'm going to catch up on PoTG threads i've been under the weather and not reading lately.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Lane doubles and reaches third on some Beltran hilarity. Reyes saves the day with a a nice snag of a liner with the infield in, but Ausmus doubles down the line in right to tie it.

Biggio pinch-hits and lines one off Glavine's foot out into short right. Ausmus scores, and Houston leads 3-2.

[Guest holychicken]

People were booing matsui when that ball glanced off glavine's leg because, after starting off to his right, he had to go back to his left and didn't field it cleanly. . . the runner would have scored easily whether he got it or not. . . but the dumbass fans had to boo him anyway.

[Guest cooby]

Now that he's in a trade rumor for Fonzie they probably smell blood

[seawolf17]

This team should probably consider scoring some more runs. Someone needs to wake up the bats (the 12-run outburst the other day notwithstanding)...

[Guest Swan Swan H]

The Kazbooers are clearly fools. I didn't see last night's game at all, so I don't know how they treated him. Getting on three times probably wasn't enough for them.

Qualls breezes through Wright, Woody and Castro. 3-2 Houstons, end of seven.

]Now that he's in a trade rumor for Fonzie they probably smell blood

I didn't hear that rumor, BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
we want the fonz back!!!!!

Fonzie is one of those guys like David Wright, Derek Bell, & Turk Wendell that Met fans just love too much to boo.

[Guest cooby]

Booing Fonzie would be like booing a squirrel

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Yes, but playing Fonzie every day at 2B would be nuts.

Meanwhile, Kaz takes one on the foot and Cairo bunts him to second, Tying run on second, one out.

[nymr83]

did Matsui really get HBP? i couldn't tell.

[Guest holychicken]

I have no problem booing Squirrels. Squirrels and chickens are sworn enemies because a squirrel spilled my beer one time.

Oh ho! Very cute

[Guest holychicken]

BTW, did they boo kaz for getting hit by a pitch?

[Guest Swan Swan H]

It looks like it caught him on the bottom or side of the foot. It definitely changed direction.

[Guest cooby]

lol, holychicken, you must tell us that story

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Reyes goes 6-3. Kaz to third, 2 out, Cameron up.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Cameron with an infield single to tie it up.

[Guest cooby]

Yay!

[nymr83]

way to go cameron!

holychicken i MUST hear this squirrel story!!

[Guest Swan Swan H]

All this small ball against our old buddy Dan "18" Wheeler.
