We got one of those leadoff hitters I've heard folks tell about.

How about giving a glove to Flores and DH'ing Cabrera?

GFaFiF getting an in-game shout-out from Gary

[Edgy MD]

What did Gary say?

[Edgy MD]

Fisher lives up to his name, fishing after strike three.

[Frayed Knot]

What did Gary say?

In discussing the partial comeback in Game 1 Gary referenced the time they DID come back from eight runs down -- occurring on this date in history as it turns out -- which he credited Greg
for passing along the info with a plug for FaFiF in the process.
I believe GFaFiF mentioned that game here just recently.

Good lord, Wilmer! When will this stop?

[Guest 41Forever]

Poor Wilmer. That looks awful!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Gross and scary

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, I want to hear a good word come out of that clubhouse. That ball drove up into his nose.

[Edgy MD]

Aoki quit on that early, I think.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was a couple of innings before the Mets have their heads remotely in the game.

[Frayed Knot]

If we were to get good news coming out of our clubhouse following an injury, would we even recognize it?

[Edgy MD]

How enormous is that guy behind Gelbs? He's a wall!

[Edgy MD]

Way to quit there, Springer.

[Edgy MD]

Rosario has some head-in-butt activity going.

[Edgy MD]

Springy looks like shit this inning.

[Edgy MD]

Houston pen and defense working for the Mets this inning.

[Edgy MD]

But no. Houstown gets out of it with just one Mets run.

[Edgy MD]

Rosey ain't diving today, either.

[Guest 41Forever]

You had to figure that was coming after we couldn't get more than one last inning.

[Frayed Knot]

Do these guys ever hit it AT someone?
Astros have no XBHs in this game and I can't remember any liners either, so each of the seven hits has been a grounder that found a hole and Lugo has recorded only 2 GOs

[Edgy MD]

Why is our catcher receiving the ball seven feet in front of the plate?

[Edgy MD]

Brian McCann:

[Guest 41Forever]

Reynolds is awful.

For not throwing that ball home? He had a 50/50 shot at best.


Meanwhile, Aoki essentially has hit four come-backers in this game.

The booth is making sound like it was a sure and obvious out.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Why did they pick up this 35-year-old Aoki anyway? The Mets have no future
in 2017 and he shouldn't have any post-2017 future with the Mets?

Some 'kid' getting ABs this September would be more entertaining and productive.
