Here's what I wrote in another thread about this game

With two Mets on base, A left-handed batter slices a fly near the left field foul line. Carlos Lee runnignas fast as he can got there in a slidign catrch , then slid into the wall with his glove held high.

The umpire ruled no catch. Calos Lee got up pleased until he saw the ump’s call. He rushed in super-agitated. Meanwhile the two Mets runners came home.

Clark came out. The umpire kept sayng "calm down calm down"

The umpire talked it over with the other umpires and reversed the call, giving Lee credit for the inning ending catch.

Replay showed Carlos caught the ball about a foot above the ground.

Michael Bourn lines out to RF

Astros lose 5-1. Tough luck for both Bourn and Tejada (not getting the extra at bat).

Astros will finish in FIFTH place in NL Central

The “so-called experts” who before the season began predicted the Astros would finish fifth in the NL Central with 74 to 76 wins were right on target.

I like what Towles has been doing the past few games

My hope is that he gets everything figured out and manages to be a big league catcher. The very best case would be that both him and Castro make a good showing at ST with above average offense and we could have a couple of athletic young catchers for 2010; that alone would go a long way to changing the look of a ball club that had three catchers in their thirties this year.

The other question would be what Manzella will do. It might be a stretch to hope he can play league average offense for a shortstop, but he did make a pretty good showing at AAA so it’s not outside the realm of possibility.

If everything goes right (and we move Tejada to third base) it could be an overall offensive upgrade. Especially if Matsui plays more like he has this September and less like he did the rest of the season.
