IGT - Astros at Mets - 7/21

[Zvon]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a catch by Cliff Floyd!!!!

May have robbed a homer there.

he had to fly to make that grab--wowzers!

[Guest Iubitul]

Nice catch by Cliff as he brings back a home run....

He had to time that perfectly--off the bat I thought that was a gonner 4 sure.

If i can get a pic of that catch Ill post it later in game.

[Guest Iubitul]

the heavy air helped that - I think it would have been out of his reach on almost any other night...

[Zvon]

And Cliffy just misses one - hits a drive foul into the 2nd deck in right.
Man he drove that.
Ends up poppin out.

It sure is good having Floyd back, and playing great to boot.

If he stays healthy and plays like this----yikes.
I pity the NL East.

Nady rips a double down the 3rd baseline and maine will try for his 1st MLB hit--or walk--Ill take a walk.

I thought hot and muggy was better for hitters.
Well,....I aint no Mr. G, thats for sure.

[Guest Iubitul]

Darling made a comment about the ball not carrying well tonight after Valentin's homer - he would know more about how the ball carries at Shea than I do ;-)

[metirish]

Ron and Gary are talking a lot tonight about Elster.....

The Physics of Baseball

Still one of my favorite books.

Me three.

Maine with another nice frame.

Reyes will lead it off in the 5th .

[TransMonk]

Maine only at 57 pitches through 5 innings.

I like it.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Beltran has a 2-out triple.

And looking at that weather map, I'm glad that it's an official game.

The radio team also credited Cliff with bringing back a homer.

[Zvon]

Beltraan lines a wicked shot down into right and Berkman plays it into a triple.

Damn! They just say its been called a double and an error.

That was a triple.

[Zvon]

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

7-0 Mets, and an offical game

HaHaHa--yepper.

Him and Floyd back and doin it-doin it-doin it....

Im gonna enjoy this second half.

[TransMonk]

I love this lineup!

Imagine what they could do if everyone was healthy and all at their A game at the same time...I don't think we've even seen that yet.

But with Delgado and Floyd looking like they are coming around...we could see the full power of this offense pretty soon.

Cool.

I hear ya.
Reyes and Wright in a lil mini funk right now-Imagine this team firin' on all cylinders.....its scary.

Im looking foward to these types of nightmares.
(nightmares for the opposing team, that is)

[Zvon]

As promised:

[Guest Iubitul]

Phillies beat the Braves 6-5. If this game stays the way it is, The Mets will be 13 games up on both.

[Guest Iubitul]

="Zvon"]As promised:

Nice!

And Maine with another niiiiice inning.
YEEEHAAA!

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Thank you Warewolf! We had only heard the call on the radio - it's nice to see the visual confirmation of Floyd's home run larceny.

[Zvon]

Reyes speed is sick.
He beats out a grounder to short short.

Games on WB11 tonight.

[Zvon]

Maine in a bit of a pickle here in the 8th.
A walk and a double puts runners on 2nd & 3rd with 0 out.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Who Hoo! Great defense and a play at the place maintains the shutout. 7-0 Mets in the middle of the 8th!

[Guest martin]

what a beautiful plate-blocking job by loduca. beautiful.

[metirish]

Lo Duca gets the tag down, I love this team.
