xIGT, 3/23, HOU @ NYM

[Edgy MD]

Dillon Gee takes the hill against his ol' buddy Colin McHugh, as our middle infield is hobbled.

Is that Shea with a dream roof (or a flying saucer) on it?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Collin McHugh out there giving all kinds of great interviews and stuff. Total charm offensive.

Buzzy's wedding invitation business is thriving.

Collin says going gluten-free has helped his game.

What's Diana Gee been up to? Nothing. Having dogs and babies, that's it.

[Edgy MD]

You just know they're buds (the McHughs and the Gees), but a team like Houston needs Collin and Buzzy to light things up more than the Mets do. We've got... um... .

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Claudia Cuddyer!

[Ceetar]

It's so weird. I'm pretty tuned to Josh and Howie on the radio that I can tune in and out while working better. I have no idea what's going on in this game that I've been listening to on Astros radio for half an hour.

[Edgy MD]

No homers for Cuddy yet. But he's got a double and he's scored the game's only run.

[Frayed Knot]

Only two NYM hits thru 3 innings, but the 2nd one was a 2R HR by Wright
3-0 thru 3. Gee: 4 hits allowed over 3.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Brief Jetsons' recollection in the booth. At least Keith didn't
call Rosie Hazel or Florence.

[Edgy MD]

Houston breaks through for one in the fifth against Buddy. Alvarez follows up with a scoreless frame and his ERA is down to six.

[Edgy MD]

Ruh-roh.

Thorton gives up a homer to Marisnick, and the Tralfazes are within one.

[Edgy MD]

Torres gives up a pair and the Astros go ahead in the eighth.

I bet Buzzy's happy!

Did he pull it to left? I need to see Wright pull with power. Get that bat through the zone.

[Frayed Knot]

Yes, Wright HR was NOT to WRightfield - at least according to the descriptions ... I didn't see it or anything.

[Zvon]

Thanks FK. MLBtv does not make it available for replay.

Only two hits. Well, can't kick ass everyday. Gee looked good. 4 solid.

[Frayed Knot]

3-2 Astros final.
Mets never got another hit after that Wright HR.

It's up there now on MLB.com -- he waited on a breaking pitch and golfed a high one over the LCF wall.

Niiiiice.

[Zvon]

Just took a peek at it. That was pretty much straight left field. That's big. Need to see that bat speed from Wright.
