Damn. I thought 4 sure Francoeur had another one there.

[Guest Kong76]

Almost called the score in the dead thread, off by a run.

I like.
my head is still boppin up and down.

pinch-hitter for Niese, who was spectacular after getting off to a shaky start in the first inning.

7 innings, 4 hits, 2 walks, 1 run, 3 strikeouts on 106 pitches (70 for strikes).

[Zvon]

YES! thats what i wanted to see!

[Valadius]

Halle-fucking-lujah.

It's about time he hit a freaking homer.

[Guest Kong76]

Why's Frankie pitching?

[Frayed Knot]

Hasn't thrown in five days, etc.

[Zvon]

good game.
Niese looked good.
Mets hit some homers!
Hey JCL, maybe that run for the uppitydogs starts now.
(I know...Im reachin, but hey, you don't reach, you don't get)

[Guest themetfairy]

Whew! A win (finally)!

[Guest Kong76]

Nice to win a lopsided one.

Personally I buy that players could NEED "firing up" to win a World Series game, but Clemens is still a douchebag.

He did the same thing when he won game #300 -- pitched with stubble and then came back out at the conclusion clean shaven.

Minute Maid Park is just what these guys need. A short porch to bang baseballs over, like it's possible and everything.

Between his 'gotta look tough' stubble and stupid spiky haircut, Roger remained the classic immature and dense-headed HS jock stereotype throughout his entire career.

I'm with ya. I predicted 19-1 during the 'brutal" stretch (I think they were 7-13) and figured on a hot run off the ASB (but didn;t realize I had stacked all my hopes on winning the first game).

The new streak starts NOW!!!! I'll go start Sunday's IGT.

[Valadius]

Let's hope this season has spun right round.

Didn't he realize that it was all for naught? No matter who won, Gary Carter would have sucked up every available minute of camera time.
