BASEBALL: Overmatched, Part II
Mets are fielding an even worse lineup today, with Guitierrez and Zeile in the infield and a AAA outfield of Karim Garcia, Jeff Duncan and Eric "Prince" Valent.
The results thus far have been predictable - drop what you're doing and go check out what's in progress at Wrigley.
UPDATE: Jinx worked; Matt Clement lasted one more inning with the no-hitter before surrendering a homer into the foliage in dead center by Garcia and, for good measure, a single by Valent (Mike Piazza gets an assist for an 8-pitch at bat before Garcia came up). But Clement's still in with 12 whiffs and a 3-run lead with one out in the top of the 8th.
Well, if you are going to break up a no-no, may as well do it with a dinger.
Crank, you have mail.
