Words fail me. Bases loaded in the second, two outs, unfortunately Clemens was up. In the 4th, two outs, runners 1st and 3rd, double steal attempt. Lamb broke when the ball was near 1st. He was dead, next time, break when the ball is near second and the fielder is in motion.
Now we come to the 7th, runner on, one out, Biggio in to pinch hit for Clemens. Ball inside, Biggio rolls in, like he has done hundreds, literally hundreds of times. Home plate ump Doug Eddings has a different interpretation than the other umps have had these hundreds, literally hundreds of times. No base, didn?t get out of the way. Biggio argues some, gets back in and flies out to right. Then, it?s on. ?Fucking bastard? was one of the milder things that was clearly readable from Biggio?s lips. Garner also got tossed. Clemens, who had gone up the tunnel when he was lifted came back especial to yell stuff at Eddings. It. Was. A. Joke.
In the 8th, Choi hit a pinch hit double off Qualls, and Robles singled to left, The Run scored.
Monday is a travel day, rest your sphincters.
