Friday the 13th in Hu'ston IGT

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Feeling good today as Gee opposes Bud Norris. I missed the 'stros visit to NYC last month on vacation, so as far as I'm concerned I think we can go out there and take them lightly. LGM, YGB yyy, bbb

[TransMonk]

Today, the team with more Jasons should win.

[Ceetar]

Odds are 3:1 that R.A. Dickey shows up to the park today looking like Jason.

[TransMonk]

1. Jose Reyes SS
2. Josh Thole C
3. David Wright 3B
4. Carlos Beltran RF
5. Jason Bay LF
6. Daniel Murphy 1B
7. Justin Turner 2B
8. Jason Pridie CF
9. Dillon Gee P

Thole back up in the two-hole. I wonder what that's all about.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Um, yay Mets

I'm sure it's nothing to do with numbers and more likely Collins has a gut feeling about it.

It's in case Turner sucks and they have to double-switch Thole to second base.

Maybe Collins has some weird managerial sidebet going.

[Ceetar]

b ah, gimme F-Mart. not thati dislike Pridie but

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

If nothing else, Pridie's proving himself ultracapable at covering ground in CF; that said, Farty gets a starty at some point this weekend, I have to believe.

my problem with calling up Martinez is him riding the pine , if you commit to calling him up then play him every night, a start here and there seems pointless.

Welcome to Houston! The live video of "Don't Stop Believing" was shot here!

Those are five ugly women.

I had to run to Mike Nickeas' wedding thread to fix my eyeballs.

Also the song that contributed to James Durbin's Idol demise.

[ashie62]

Jose Reyes gets picked yet again.

[ashie62]

Gee gets out of the second with a lttle help from his friends.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

As buoying as the tightrope-walking was in the bottom of the second, I'm getting a sinking feeling that our boys missed out on a rare chance to do some MAJOR damage in that first. Norris seems to be settling in.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Fun, brisk Metronaut Mike Massimino piece with Guys!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Somebody remind the Mets that they're better than the Astros.

Howie comparing Hunter Pence to George Theodore as Gee strikes him out... like George Theodore.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Beltran missed making it a 2-run lead by an inch or two inside on the bat handle; that dub was struck with violence.

Other than that... Norris is working the big-ass strike-zone very nicely.

[Fman99]

Oh no, I can't seem to find the wheels.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

When guys pitching for the Long Island Ducks get touched for runs by the likes of Bill Hall and Chris Johnson, those Ducks get gone.

Fuck a duck.

WACKY DP there. Heads up defense by Muffy.

yeah. that was..odd.

Diving stop, no one covering so Murphy outraces Bourne to first, then Hall tries to score from third, thrown out. 3u-2 on the dp.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

It didn't seem like one play... more like three stages, or something. Thanks be for creative baserunning/Astros third-base coach Dave Clark.
