[Official] Astros @ Mets

[Castor27]

All game talk goes in here. Please do not give play by play. If you need play by play go to CBS, ESPN, or Yahoo.

Pitching Probables:

4-11 Andy Petitte (0-0, 1.50) vs. Tom Glavin (0-1, 12.27) 12:10 on FSSW

4-13 Roger Clemens (1-0, 1.29) vs, Kaz Ishii (0-1, 6.75) 6:10 on FSSW

4-14 Brandon Backe (0-0, 3.60) vs. Victor Zambrano (0-1, 3.60) 6:10 on FSSW


Odd scheduling gives us a day off on Tuesday.

[RocketManJosh]

2 Out of 3 ... Go Stros!!!

[deepellumrocket]

Anybody have odds on whether or not a certain centerfielder gets plunked at some point during the series?

I'd say they're lower than they would have been had Roy-O been scheduled to pitch.

[NJRocket]

I'll be happy with 2 of 3 for sure....we usually dont have much luck vs Glavine ...so hopefully we can steal the first one and take our chances with Rocket and Backe

I'd say there is a pretty good chance that Rocket at least gives him a nice brush back.

[NJRocket]

We ain't plunking anyone....at least not on purpose.

[Oski2005]

Alls I know is that we are going to help them break their record for worst start to a season.

Nevermind, I forgot they won yesterday.

[ima_drummer2k]

We play Monday afternoon and have Tuesday off? That's pretty weird.

The players still love Beltrash...er, Beltran. It's the fans that are pissed at him. Oh, well. Maybe Roger will give us what we want the first time he faces Carlo$ at home and send him a little chin music.

I'll take a Carlos Beltran Broken bat that lands near Clemens :) Hopefully Roger has been working on his bat tosses.

Damn! Why do I have to work and miss the game today. I guess I'll be stuck watching the pitch-by-pitch on ESPN.com.

[Svpernaut]

I highly doubt they'll plunk him... on purpose at least. The pitchers aren't going to get themselves thrown out for something that happened off the field and in the freaking offseason. I imagine the umpires will have them locked down anyway, and will issue warnings to both sides if anyone is plunked.

I'm sure Roger will challenge him inside though... but that's just Roger.

[Chance]

I updated my MySpace and put Beltran Idiot on there for the next couple days. If you haven't heard it we recorded it the day Beltran left and it is a spoof of American Idiot.

It's here.

[kaleidosky]

I might get flamed here, but I still like the guy. I hate Boras.

It's just pretty tough to hate the guy that made last year's playoff run against the Braves and Cards what it was as much as anyone. People are hating on him like they would Karl Malone...except Beltran never cheated and played dirty or anything close against us.

He knew what Boras was doing... and he played dirtier then anyone ever has against a Houston team, he strung us out to dry for AN ENTIRE SEASON. Luckily, it looks like we have some rookies and other players that may step up to save our ass.

I hate Beltran more than Karla Malone. Beltran chose Boras to represent him so he has to be held accountable. I don't think people would be nearly as mad if he just went to the Mets from the start and didn't play us like he did. You say he didn't heat us, I feel he did.

[MadMax]

I don't HATE Beltran. But I think he was full of it. He knew full well what Boras was about...and when asked about it last season he said, " I know...but I'm not about that...so it will be different with me." It wasn't.

[OUsooner]

Go Astros!!!

[Random.]

I'm annoyed with the way Beltran strung the Astros along, but not with the fact he didn't sign with them. (I'm glad he didn't, his price was too high for what he brings, and it would end up like A-Rod with the Rangers did, sucking up too much of the budget for anything else.)

I don't think the players will care. They all know it's a business, and Beltran helped them get further in the playoffs than ever before.

I predict Astros win 2 of 3. I also predict Everett continues his domination from the top spot.

[Uprising]

GAME ON BABY!

Go Stros.

Yeah me too. I'm not that upset we don't have him. I am more upset we lost Kent, and pretty much wasted the entire off season thinking we would get him.

[Uprising]

WHOOOO

RBI double by Ensberg!

He just missed the HR!!!!

1-0 Good Guys.

[Random.]

That's the right way to start the game. I like Lane at 5th over Scott/Burke, I think it offers Ensberg more protection.

[RocketFan007]

The outfield at Shea looks pretty sweet, they mowed it to look like the NY skyline.

[Uprising]

Pettitte is looking good out there! Nice K!

Beltran up to bat! BOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

[The Real Shady]

Beltran up to bat. Chin music time.

[oomp]

beltran is up

[Uprising]

0-2 count to Beltran.

Go Andy!

[Blatz]

Boooooooooo!

[Uprising]

Damn....Beltran got the Mets first hit.

On a 0-2 pitch. Damnit.

[The Real Shady]

Should have hit him.

[MadMax]

single to left...proof Satan is alive and well.

Collision!

Burke and Taveras run into each other!

Taveras gets the catch though. THANK YOU GOD!!

[RocketFan007]

Actually an error on the third basemen. And Burke was lucky that Mientkiewicz made a bad throw to second on the pick off.

I have.

When the games were on ch.51 and not on tv I listened to them online.

I started the stream from ktrh like 30min or so before the game just incase.

it worked. :)

[Harrisment]

Well 740 just interrupted their Astros coverage with breaking news.....They're evacuating the capitol in D.C. because there is a man in there with two suitcases who will not respond.

Looks like it's between innings anyways!

THe man has been taken away. Should go back to the game.

Nice stop by Pettitte. I am really liking him in the Stros uniform. Hope he can stay healthy.

[Castor27]

KTRH isn't allowed to stream the game but if you get a stream going before the game starts you can usually keep it going. Once the game starts they disable the link.

I missed it today, but I am watching Sportsline's game cast. It is still the quickest updater and they have added pitch speed and type for each pitch.

[SamCassell]

Another Burke start in LF, cool.

[rrj_gamz]

I'm sticking with the 2 of 3...I like our pitching and the Mets have finally won a game, but I don't think its enough...

Go Stros!!!

[Uprising]

WHOOO

Beltran K!!!!! :D :D :D

[Uprising]

Pettitte is making Piazza look foolish out there.
:D

Nice pitching by both pitchers in this inning.

Ensberg with another hit. He has both of the hits by the Astros. Ugh...caught stealing.

[LongTimeFan]

Any chance Lidge makes an appearance today since we have a day off tomorrow?

[Svpernaut]

Originally posted by LongTimeFan

I'm sure if he has a save chance he'll be in here... even though he's worked a lot so far.

[Uprising]

AWESOME!

nice job Ensberg!

2 runners stranded. No runs scored. WHOOP!

[Random.]

Ensberg? I thought Ensberg was 2-2 so far this game..?

[Uprising]

Originally posted by Random.

That was on the defensive end. I wasn't being sarcastic. He kept the Mets from scoring by knocking a ball down and then throwing out the runner.

Ensberg is 2-2, and has the only hits by the Astros.

[Clutch]

Ensberg made the play in the field... the runners left stranded were Mets.

[whag00]

Wow. Nice play by Reyes...

[Uprising]

Bases Loaded.

2 outs.

Baggy up to bat! WHOOP!

FULL COUNT!

[The Real Shady]

Bases loaded. Come on Baggy.

[whag00]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

[Uprising]

Baggy Strikes out. Baggy arguing with the ump!

Baggy is furious!

Garner now with the ump.

3 outs.

BOOOO

probably was, but glavine is pitching. he gets all the close calls, doesnt he?

[rezdawg]

That was way off the plate....even the mets message board has them admitting the ump made a horrible call.

What a crappy call. You know it was bad by the way Baggy argued it, he never argues.

[Uprising]

Gotta love it how it shows the ball out like that.

Strike Zone:

[--------]
[--------]
[--------]
[--------] O

Ball was outside.

That was BS. Baggy never gets animated like that. :mad:

[rezdawg]

They just showed the replay, easily 6 inches off the plate. Not even close to being a strike.

[BigM]

that ball was well inside, it was a good five or six inches off the plate. you don't see bagwell get that animated over nothing. of course that bitch glavine has made a career off of bs like that.

11 innings on the season now for Andy, just 1 earned run. Nice little 0.82 ERA going.

[Harrisment]

WTF is going on?

[bwarren]

I'm sitting in class with the mlb.com gameday saying "on-field delay". Is it some kind of ad that wasn't distracting until now, or a fan with a sign?

[l3igballer23]

Hahaha, some idiot tried to let the cover down by cutting it, and the whole thing fell off

hahah stupid mets

[Uprising]

This is the most rediculous thing ever.

They finally cover it, then some boob runs up there and cuts the ropes with a knife.

Now what?!
:confused: :o

Somebody is in trouble

The sign rotates.

And they put it on the bright colors when the Astros batted.

now the mets officials are saying it is stuck and won't rotate. So they are trying to cover it....but some boob cut the ropes and the cover fell off.

[arkoe]

I like Glavine sitting and getting cold.

on a separate note......i know Clemens doesnt travel when his boys have games....but I just saw him in the Cingular store near the Galleria about 10 minutes ago....why is he not in NY??? Isnt he pitching tomorrow?

[Uprising]

They got it to rotate, by hand.


LMAO. The ad it switched to is worse!

LMAO!

There is no game tomorrow for some stupid reason. We play the Mets again on Wednesday, that's when he's pitching.

They have tomorrow off, and play the Mets again on Wednesday.

They just rotated the panel again.

Because the replacement ad is all white.

So they must turn it again. They are trying to close it by kicking it. LMAO!

[SamCassell]

What's the big deal about a sign? Is there a rule prohibiting them from having distracting signs in the OF?

[LongTimeFan]

Ask and you shall recieve NJRocket... but just for good measure...

tomorrow is an off day, he pitches Wednesday :p

[Harrisment]

Ok, I think the 7 of us that answered his question should be sufficient! :)

[Uprising]

PLAY BALL!

Game on.

They fixed it by kicking it. LMAO! Finally. It's all black now.

Extra warm up time for Glavin. Then the game is back.

[Svpernaut]

Milo is a riot.
"Wait till you see the newspapers here tomorrow!"

[NJRocket]

So you're saying tomorrow is an off day?

Thx.

Even so, I figured he travelled on the road trips when he was scheduled to pitch.

[l3igballer23]

there's still one broken panel... that would be hilarios if by fixing that one, the rest go back to blue

[Uprising]

Originally posted by SamCassell

If the away team says they can' see with it, or have a dispute with it it must be removed.

It seemed that it was turning to the bright colors when the Astros were batting, and darker when the Mets batted. So Garner wanted it shut.

GAME ON!

[NJRocket]

We need some runs here...I dont want Lidge to have to pitch.

[Uprising]

3-0 count for Ensberg!

HA! :D

Ensgberg lead off walk.

Originally posted by SamCassell

THey are allowed to have signage but if a batter complains the umpires can decide to have the sign removed. If you put a pitcher in front of a white background it is near impossible to pick up the ball when it leaves his hand.

I guess in this case they spent all that money on Pedro and Carlos so they coldn't afford rotating signs that actually rotate.

[Joe Joe]

Sportsline's pitch location shows Burke's last strike as being inside....I wonder if they are using somekind of recognition software for pitch location or have someone just second guessing umps?

[NJRocket]

I dont have a good feeling here

[Harrisment]

I think it's time to get Andy out of there.

[NJRocket]

Pettitte needs a grounder to 2nd like he needs air

They probably have software that locates the pitch via the camera feed, much like Fox and ESPN's that they use in nationaly televised games.

[NJRocket]

we need a popout

[SamCassell]

This should be Pettite's last inning. He's pitching a shutout, but all these hits are gonna catch up to him. And he's already at 100 pitches.

[Harrisment]

Should have taken Andy out. Crap.

[whag00]

ugh!!!

[NJRocket]

How did he not catch that? That is a TERRIBLE effort

[Harrisment]

HORRIBLE.

[whag00]

They are nlot even hitting the ball hard. It's stupid bloop hits.

I never should have mentioned Smoltz 14 K's through 6 while it was going on and I never should have mentioned Andy's ERA while he was still pitching either. It just "ballooned" to over 3.

It mighta been a triple with Piazza's speed:rolleyes:

[Harrisment]

Ensberg with a leadoff double. Big day for Morgan!

[NJRocket]

nsberg is starting to find it....nice gapper for a double

[Svpernaut]

He's starting to look like a clean up hitter... he needs to stay aggressive. You tell em Ashby!

[NJRocket]

YES.....3 base error for lane......

[Harrisment]

RBI triple for Lane, tie game...no outs!!

[l3igballer23]

TRIPLE LANE!!!

[KaiSeR SoZe]

ASTROS!!

[The Real Shady]

What a day for Morgan!! Now we just need Land and Lamb to come though.

[Svpernaut]

Hell yeah! Lane on 3rd! Tie Game! Bring on the Met's bullpen!

[rezdawg]

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH

CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

[NJRocket]

[rudager]

Arggh...you guys are much faster than Yahoo! and CBSSportsline!

[mulletman]

was that a triple or a three base error?

should end up being a single and 2 base error....but really could go either way

[The Real Shady]

How many games has Lidge thrown in a row? Three?

[l3igballer23]

Mets bullpen SUCKS!!!

and Looper still hasn't pitched yet, wait till we blow him up

I think I'm gonna give MLBTV.com a try, a little window of sports shouldn't interrupt my work anymore than refreshing windows constantly.... :)

I think you are right, should be a single at least.

[NJRocket]

Ground rule doub for Viz!!!!!!

[Svpernaut]

Go Viz!

[Harrisment]

Ground rule double for Viz, we lead!!

[l3igballer23]

Ground rule double to deep left, Vizciano...


STROS UP 4-3!!!!!!!!!!

[rezdawg]

VIZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2 bagger!!!!!!!!!!!

[Harrisment]

Ok, what do you guys think.....do they bring Lidge in to pitch the 8th? Or do they bring him in at all? He has been working a lot lately.

[NJRocket]

I'd love to hold the lead and have Franco come in for the save

[SamCassell]

Lidge will probably throw 2 innings, and then a simulated inning tomorrow on the day off.

[rezdawg]

15 minutes ago, I was in the worst mood. My day was ruined.

What a sigh of relief. I hope we can keep pouring it on.

[NJRocket]

Lidge better not pitch today.....we need to use someone else ....hoefully we can get a 3 run lead

His arm is going to explode!

God, Yahoo's still showing Wheeler up to bat... :mad:

[rezdawg]

If Lidge pitches today, it will only be for an inning.

I need a save for fantasy purposes.

[l3igballer23]

We can't keep winning low scoring games lke this tho..

Maybe you can try cbssportsline. They are usually the fastest.

we can if we end up with more runs than our opponent

[rezdawg]

So much for Ausmus and his stellar spring stats.

He's back to his sucky self.

[jinx]

[NJRocket]

Id take a nice sac bunt here

[NJRocket]

Ausmus almost popped out with a bunt ...here comes a K

[rezdawg]

Come on Brad, all you need is effin contact!!

[NJRocket]

Cmon Willie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[adw]

Brad why must you continue to suck @ss year after year with the bat :(

[SamCassell]

Ausmus is barely a major-league caliber hitter at this point in his career.

[rezdawg]

1 more run would be nice as insurance.

Not sure if the bullpen, other than Lidge, can hold them off.

[NJRocket]

Whoops.....wrong guy......oh well....we got the lead back!

[NJRocket]

I got this weird feeling that this game won;t end without Carlos being at bat with a chance to win it

[rudager]

Lidge vs. Beltran for the final out

[l3igballer23]

Don't worry Lidge will make that ugly mole on his face fall off with a nasty slider.

I put my money on Lidge... and his slider.

[rezdawg]

holy crap that scared me.

[NJRocket]

[KaiSeR SoZe]

Lidge comes in the 9th?

They havent made mention of it yet. I hope so.

I hope not. Four games in a row is too much.

[rezdawg]

damn!! walk.

Come on Russssssssssssss!! Dont freakin choke this.

[l3igballer23]

Man, now you realize what you had with Lidge, Dotel, and Wagner -- 7, 8 and 9

[rezdawg]

It is too much, but we need to win this game. Plus, we got an off day tomorrow. Im sure he wants to get in there, the guy is fierce.

[Harrisment]

Ok, bring in Lidge now.

[Svpernaut]

I want him in now!

[rezdawg]

sh!t. 1st and 3rd and 1 out.

Freakin BULLPEN BLOWS!!!!

[l3igballer23]

Damn it, Biggio has very limited range.

[NJRocket]

This sucks

[The Real Shady]

Our bullpen stinks except for Lidge.

[rezdawg]

It was a freakin 0-2 count....why the hell would you give the batter anything decent to hit at? Dammit!!

[NJRocket]

Qualls must not be ready......he';s leaving him in

[NJRocket]

better be a K.....this guy will be tough to double up

[rezdawg]

Another 0-2 count on Reyes. Dont give him hittable pitches!!! He will swing.

[Svpernaut]

Freakin' Springer!

[rezdawg]

CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lets just hope this happens in the 9th rather than the 8th

[l3igballer23]

Damn it should have looked the runner back to 3rd and taken the sure out
