So Much For That
Forget ten runs. How about ten good swings? Matt Clement was excellent in shutting down the Giants, allowing only a Marquis Grissom single and a bloop by Andres Galarraga in a brisk 3-0 shutout. After giving up a three-run homer in the first to Moises Alou, Damian Moss settled down a bit, allowing just five hits over seven innings. But it was too late. Good to see Joe Nathan checking in with three strikeouts in the eighth inning, though. I guess we just have to move on to today's game.
Double Bill: How about former Giant Bill Mueller clocking two grand slams last night, one from each side of the plate. There's something never done before in major league history. Oh yeah, he added a solo homer in there too. Pretty good night.
El Canon Is A Snake: The Diamondbacks picked up Raul Mondesi from the Yankees yesterday, in an effort to gain ground in the, well, the wild-card race. And the Red Sox shored up their bullpen, acquiring closer Scott Williamson from the Reds, who now looks like more of a set-up man for Byung-Hyun Kim. I hope the Yankees-Red Sox race turns into a dandy down the stretch. Not too many rivalries in sports match that one.
What a Croc: Turns out the alligator featured on the cover of the new 2003 Florida Gators media guide is not a gator at all but a crocodile. Oops!
