We are the Future and Nothing Can Stop Us: 7/26 IGT @ HOU

[bmfc1]

I put on the Astros radiocast and the announcers said that their team had "a let down" after playing the Cardinals for 3 games and then beating Santana. "Let down" is a poor excuse

Who the hell are these guys with all the hard hit balls?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

To be fair, Julia Stiles could get fat on Houston's pitching beyond Oswalt, Rodriguez and Hawkins. That said, just because it's junk food doesn't mean it's not sassifying.

Finish it, Seanny.

Back-to-back games with big runs! Maybe Jerry should stick with this lineup for a little while.

Winning is funner.

Who are those guys wearing Mets uniforms and what did they do with our players?

When (I'm sliding right over the "if") Beltran returns, should Pagan continue to play center field?
He certainly belongs in the lineup - he gets on base, has leadoff speed, and certainly plays good defense. Moving Carlos to a corner spot wouldn't put as much pressure on his legs.
Whaddaya' think?

We're getting this season turned right round.

You know that butterfly that mimics the Monarch, so as to make people think it's poisonous, only it's not?

Pagan's that butterfly.

He's really not that good defensively-- he has all the tools, and plays as deep as Beltran, but without the quick reads on the ball, so a lot of stuff drops in. If Beltran can run at all, I'll take him over Pagan 393 times out of 393.

Now, if Martinez-- one notable cleat-catching aside-- looks as good as he did earlier in fill-in work when he comes back, maybe he starts splitting time with CB in center as CB approaches contract's end.

* If/when Beltran comes back he's playing CF.
* I do think Pagan is fine (if not better) as a fill-in CF and I'd like to see us hang onto him as outfielder #4 for next year. Now he just has to work on staying on the field
* Martinez looked better defensively than I expected based on prospect reports that universally had him tagged strictly as a corner guy.

Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes... The dead rising from the grave! Mets winning, human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!

Sounds like someone crossed your beams, 99.

LOL!
