[Zvon]

Reyes swings at the very first pitch of the game, flies out.

Beltran singles and is picked off first.

Hope this isn't indicative of how this games going to go.

[nymr83]

i like beltran batting 2nd, he belongs there at least until church is healthy given the other choices.

[Zvon]

Thats was more pitches than Id like for Perez in the first, but he gets thru it, Matsui the only one to reach (siingle).

I still can't believe coming in to this series Kaz had only 2 HRs this season and he hits 2.
You see shit like that you have to start looking for snakes in the grass.

[Zvon]

Hey, they are talking bout my man Zevon again!
Do they only bring him up when I'm watching?

[Zvon]

Wiggy does the 4 base jiggy.

[nymr83]

Cancel bunts for a bassehit to lead off the inning!

[Zvon]

WTF!!!????

Cancel! WhatRyaDOIN!??

[nymr83]

thrown out at third to end the inning, fucking stupid

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

We got the Willies all over again.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Cancel cancel's that inning. (Caught stealing third with two outs, J. Reyes on 1st and Wright at bat).

[metirish]

Cancel going for his first steal of third in ten years....wtf?

[Zvon]

Wright walks to start the 4th.
Delgado follows with a line single to left.
It is Tatis....

[Zvon]

This homeplate ump really likes that low pitch.
Well, he has been calling it all game.

Really thought Jerry was gonna get tossed there.

[Guest AG/DC]

Evans down looking. Pitch looked down to me (and to Evans and to Manuel). Gameday disagrees.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I give up.

All the low called strikes look just below the knees to me.
But the guy has been consistent.

[Guest KC]

Ollie delivering more like Autry with a geetar than Perry with an ax.

Everybody thank Ollie.

[Zvon]

Two 2 out doubles plate another for the 'Stros.

Evans stumbles on a routine fly to left that drops for an RBI single.

Erstad scores on a double by Quintero.....

I don't like what I'm seeing.

We cannot get swept here.

Offense better step it up.


I'm still stuck on Cancel tryin to steal 3rd.
What was he thinking?

[Zvon]

Reyes and Beltran single with one out in the 5th.
Let us unite and assemble.

[nymr83]

leaving the bases loaded for two innings in a row isnt good

[Zvon]

8 left on the last two innings.
You can't leave on any more than that.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Zvon - "I'm still stuck on Cancel tryin to steal 3rd.

After bunting for a single. He must have suddenly got confused and thought he was Jose Reyes.

The Mets manage 3 singles in the 5th inning, but still don't score.

6.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I was confused by that one myself, Nymr. I thought 3 per innings was the most that could be left on base.

Duh,lol.

.....I count home plate as a base?

Does that get me off the hook?

[Zvon]

Evans deeks Lee into trying for two.

That time he played the ball off the wall like shit (as opposed to that beautiful play earlier). Both times ends up smelling like a rose.

Kunz will pitch the 7th.

[Frayed Knot]

CAN SOMEBODY ON THS TEAM GET A FUCKING TWO-OUT HIT?!?!!???

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Can't blame Ollie or the pen if they can't put one across in that bandbox!
