IGT - 8/22 - Mets - Astros

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Heilman with a nice 8th.

I'll send him out again in the 9th. Would you?

[TransMonk]

I would.

[Guest AG/DC]

Why not?

I'd have two guys warming, but yeah, two inning save is the way it oughta be.

[Guest AG/DC]

Heilman is back under the Komiyama line.

Man, hits just don't keep comiing tonight.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Gotta like the way The Schneid's been swinging it. He was all over that first pitch from Oswalt a couple of times tonight. And Reyes really ripped that one into bad luck.

[Guest AG/DC]

Mr. Oswalt without the swastika tatoo is looking at a rare complete game loss.

[TransMonk]

I can live with our offense laying an egg for 6 innings against Oswalt...especially if they lead the game.

It's when they make RA Dickey look like Cy Young that I get upset.

[Guest AG/DC]

Not liking this move.

There's something to be said for getting Heilman out of there on a positive --- especially at Shea --- but I'm not liking it.

[Guest KC]

Yay, that's all I got.

[TransMonk]

Ayala, youala, we allala...and the Mets win the ballgame!

Luis says "FU AG" as he 1-2-3s for the save.

Gotta love how Ayala is all pumped to be in a race , great game tonight.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Ayala comes through with a 1-2-3 ninth inning to seal the victory.

Winning is fun.

[Guest themetfairy]

Nice!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Relief pitching: Is there anything more unpredictable?

[bmfc1]

HOORAY! The 3 ex-Nats contribute to a great win.
