So R.A.'s eloquence isn't wasted on a concession speech:

Leadoff triple something to forget about.

[G-Fafif]

I'll likely forget where I was when Carlos Lee collected his 2,000th base hit.

[G-Fafif]

Dickey's postgame remarks, unless this 3-0 deficit is countermanded at once.

This isn't an auspicious start....

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

RA Flukey with 6 baserunners in the 1st so far. Can't wait for his new book.

Another shitty outing for Mr. Eloquent. Hey Dickey, STFU and earn your two year contract. All spring you kept saying how nice it was to have job security and that you could work on refining your pitches instead of making the team. Well maybe he needed to be challenged because he has been awful this year. Right now, Dickey is Pelfrey with a good vocabulary.

[G-Fafif]

45 pitches. Many of them suckleballs.

[G-Fafif]

F-Mart hitting like a young man again.

Dickey hasn't won since the first week of the season.

The Mets bought Dickey at the top.

[G-Fafif]

They just ran a feature on Collins insisting guys spit on their aches and play. Which is fine as far as it goes, but has the problem for years been Mets begging out of the lineup? Not safe and therefore sorry.

Mixed messaging.

[G-Fafif]

The worm Turners! Drives in Reyes, deficit shortened to 4-1.

[G-Fafif]

Keith just addressed his audience as "Kids."

[G-Fafif]

The LOB turns. Justin stranded at third.

[G-Fafif]

I wish Burkhardt would stop calling things "cool" and "neat". Guys?

[bmfc1]

The Astros version of Guys! did a two batter length report on a local charity event.

[smg58]

Some good hustle by Turner, advancing to second on the wild pitch and then getting to third on the flyball to right in spite of a strong throw by Pence. And then Bay strikes out going after two fastballs out of the zone, and Paulino pops out. Sigh.

[ashie62]

Kevin Burkhardt is the baseball equivalent of an NFL Sideline reporter.

Nice KaBoom from Muffy!

[G-Fafif]

Shipping that ball out of Houston!

[ashie62]

Muffy goes KABOOM!

[smg58]

Murph, unlike Bay, sits and waits for the right fastball and sends it way over the right field wall. 4-2.

[bmfc1]

How come the Astros 1B and 3B didn't slam into each other resulting in a DL-trip for the 1B?
