Astros 7 - Mets 3

Astros 7 - Mets 3

Deep thinker R.A. Dickey

• The Astros jumped on R.A. Dickey today, scoring four runs in the first inning. In total, R.A. gave up 6 runs and 11 hits in six innings of work. Dickey has struggled all year and, outside of his beard, does not resemble the pitcher he was last season. Dickey’s season stats are ugly: 1-5 with a 5.08 ERA.

• The Mets were asleep at the switch against J.A. Happ who looked ripe for the taking. The Mets were 2 for 8 with runners in scoring position and looked lifeless.

Outside of Murphy going deep and Reyes’ 2 hits, not much was going on.

• Jason Bay stuck out on a pitch today that was head high. After his blast last night, we were hoping Bay would keep it going today. There are no more excuses for Bay who has been useless since signing with the Mets. Let’s stop hearing that he hustles and is a good guy. We didn’t pay 65 million for Joe McEwing.

• If the Mets take the game tomorrow it will be three series wins in a row.
