Nice strong 8th inning by the Mets yesterday to avoid the broom. I was really hoping for a second straight sweep by the 'Stros on their home stand, but you can't win 'em all. Eventually the 'Stros will come down from the stratosphere and will start playing like a normal team again. That said, their strong pitching (even from the rookies Astacio and Rodriguez) gives them an edge. While the Cards are still way out in front, it is not beyond the realm of possibility that Houston at least give them a run for their money.
I'm just glad that the slapstick NL West is taking some of the jokes away from the Comedy Central.
I caught a good part of the Mets/Astros series on TV..One line the Mets announcers kept repeating ad nauseum was that most of the 'Stros fans came to boo Beltran..I'm sorry that Pizza didn't get another crack at Clemens..
