Oh my lord. Roger Clemens pitched eight shutout innings tonight, eighty-eight pitches, nine strike outs. His ERA is now a ridiculous 1.32. And while he was at it, he hit two singles. That's the same number of hits as he gave the Pirates.
Final score? 1-0 PIRATES.
That's right. Clemens throws a phemonenal game, gets no run support, and falls victim to the bullpen. Or, in this case, the closer. (Thanks, Lidge, I was just thinking about how much I longed for a closing trifecta of SUCK.) Gosh, that sounds familiar.
What a nice little flashback to April and May.
That might be even worse than what the Tigers did to Bondo the other day.
*deep breath* It is okay, it happens, the Astros are still in it, I will not panic for no reason, they are not I repeat NOT the Tigers . . .
(Interesting little fact: The Astros have been shut out twelve or thirteen times this season [can't remember which]. Six of those shutouts have been on Clemens's starts.)
