IGT - Astros at Mets - 7/22/06

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

The game is delayed due to rain. Fox Sports estimates that the delay will be less than an hour. In the meantime, they're helping us to know our upcoming enemy by showing us the Cubs game in DC as our Rain Delay Theater.

ON EDIT - Ugh - Rain Delay Theater requires us to listen to Lou Pinella.

lol--" ....to deffenty---differinti----the difference is....."

Joe Buck is a bit of a weenie. And McCarver is played.

But among the national broadcasters, there isn't much to choose from.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

The game is afoot.

El Puke immediately walks the first batter.

Forget the pen - I want to DFA him.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

I want to DFA him NOW!!!!

A walk and a home run and Houston has a quick 2-0 lead.

[Zvon]

A Berkman blast for 2 Houston runs--not a good start for ElDuke

[duan]

that was a MONSTER

[duan]

preston's one not so much of a monster.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

And there's another. 3-0 Houston.

Shitfuck!

[Zvon]

ElPukey.

Preston Wilson goes yard.

3-0 Asstros

...thats reassuring..lol

[Zvon]

So Backe's back and lets see how he looks.
The guy can pitch, but he's just getting back from a looooooong stint on the DL.

[Zvon]

A walk to porno mustache cartoon chin and a wicked single ripped to right from Beltraan puts runners at the corners for the Mets.

1 out, a pop out by Reyes to lead off the game.

Delgado delivers a deep sac fly to center, and the Mets are on the board.

3-1

Cliffy grounds out.
The mets get one back(e).

[Zvon]

This should be an easy inning for Hernandez-
bottom of the order and none of these guys are dangerous hitters.

If ElDouque cant get thru this then warm up the pen now.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

I hat El Puke.

It won't take much for me to add an e to that.

[Zvon]

He allows a double to Everett.

Not a good sign-not at all.
Everetts a .240 hitter with no punch or pop.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

The Duke is just washed up now, they can't trot him out there much longer.

Not today, anyway.
Would be nice to get four frames out of him.

If he settles down maybe more.
But Ill be pretty impressed if he settles down and gets thru 5.
Especially if he keeps the Asstros in check during that time.

This IS baseball though-it can happen.

Mets gotta get some runs.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Neither team scored in the second - still 3-1.

Hey - I'm going to see Pelfrey pitch tomorrow. I'm there for all of his home games

[Elster88]

Every ball is to the warning track.

[Zvon]

That was a nice inning by ElDuke.

Better late than never, I guess.

Mets Offense- ACTIVATE

Ill take that all day if they are outs.

="OlerudOwned"] Mets Offense- ACTIVATE

lol.

UNITE AND ASSEMBLE!

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Reyes called out stealing on what looks like a bad (but close) call.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

BS call. Reyes had his hand an second and his elbow was already bent by the time he got tagged.

[Zvon]

UGH!
Reyes was safe.
By a hair, but he was safe.


Asstros get the call and Reyes is thrown out trying to steal.

Bad call (ch)ump.

I'd argue that that is not a good idea.
