Has Clemens cursed out the umpire yet to get yanked out of a big game he may lose?

I thought only Joaquin Andujar did that.

man, both mike matheny and brad ausmus have gone deep in their respective game 1s. what a couple days for normally cripplingly bad hitting catchers.

Does Fox TV have Dick Bavetta behind the plate?

he didnt want it to go by the catcher, then it would've been 8-6!!!

No idea, but I'll take it! I think that he was initially surprised that Jeter would run, but he should have been moving forward when he caught the ball anyway...

So anyway,  me and the lady went to the bar down the street last night, at around 11:45pm to watch the Sox game.  the bar was scarcely populated so we got the spot right in front of the flat screen.  we were there for 5 minutes tops and some Yankees fan comes over and decides he's going to watch the game with us......
 
   he's pretty happy since his boys just squeaked one out, but the whole time he's routing hardcore against the Red Sox and admittedly hates the Angels too.  Going on and on about what a great rivalry it is because even though the Red Sox and the Yankees hate each other, the fans can still have fun together....
 
   right, you sat next to me, pal.  he left in the top of the 9th...
 
   he also thought we were crazy for doing shots whenever Pedro beans somembody.

Just another team self-destructing when they play the Yankees....
 
 Nathan throwing three innings?  I could see why you brought him in to pitch one inning, I questioned the second, and by third I knew it was game over.  Series tied 1-1.  
 
 Jones thinking Jeter wouldn't go?  Has he not seen this guy hustle on every play he makes, even in the all-star game?  Unbelievable.

i have no problem with nathan coming in for a 3rd inning. . .he used to be a starter. . .3 innings should be nothing.  there's no excuse for jacque jones lobbying it in. . .jeter would have been out if he throws a strike to the catcher.
 
 mind you, i think that if braves start having problems anytime during the game, they should bring in smoltz.
