Wooooow. The top of the ninth inning of the Astros game was some of the stupidest fucking baseball I have ever seen.
Clemens pitched through eight, giving up only a two-run homer. And in the ninth, the bullpen proceeded to hemorrage hit after hit after fucking hit, and then run upon run upon run. Here's how bad it was: Seven Reds players had reached base and four had scored BEFORE THE FIRST OUT. And then? A three-run fucking homer. I could not make this shit up if I tried.
Meanwhile, the offense was doing its part by - uh, getting shut out. For the ninth time this season. I don't feel like digging through more statistics right now, but I would not be surprised if a good chunk of those games were starts from Clemens.
Final depressing, ridiculous score: 9-0. Gee, at least it wasn't yet another no-decision.
And in case you were curious, for at least the next few hours, the Astros suck worse than Tampa Bay. But hey, at least they're better than the Rockies and the Royals.
