IGT 10/2/09: Astros @ Mets in Relative Private

[G-Fafif]

The Mets who will face Wandy Rodriguez:

Angel Pagan CF
Luis Castillo 2B
David Wright 3B
Carlos Beltran CF
Jeff Francoeur RF
Fernando Tatis 1B
Omir Santos C
Anderson Hernandez SS
John Maine P

This will be Maine's seventh start at Citi Field. Given my evening plans, I will have seen all seven in person.

Jerry's resting Nick Evans.

Last weekend for Tatis to leave an impression , I expect he'll start all three games.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I'm assuming the Houston starter is a lefty. Why not give Murphy some at bats against the lefty?

We should start a "Fire Jerry" Internet petition. I've never known an Internet petition that didn't work.

[Frayed Knot]

There's been a Nick Evans sighting!! ... and he responds with a triple.

[Frayed Knot]

Leadoff triple followed by three straight Ks ... yeah, no way that's gonna come back to bite us.

FK: Leadoff triple followed by three straight Ks <<<

Didn't see that, but one (or people like us) would wonder how often
that sequence has happened? Has to be borderline rarely.

Offense-kakke!

Runs all over the place, dribbling onto your clothes, your hair!

[Guest Kong76]

sea: I believe that's the first time that's happened since Angel Pagan tripled two days ago, followed immediately by three consecutive David Wright strikeouts <<<

Buh dum ching!
To me it sounds noteworthy, I'm sure someone will point it out
eventually if it was.

Oh, and big WHOO HOO to Maine. The game and the last bunch of games.

I meant 3B, K, K, K is in general probably rare.
Who knows what I meant, I was consumed by Mafia Wars last night.
