Interesting game between the Straphangers and the Mudcats yesterday. The Sardines jumped out to a 5-2 lead after three, thanks to a three-run Andruw Jones homer. After scoring one run in the fourth, the Cats scored seven runs in the fifth to take a 10-5 lead, but the Straphangers clawed their way back and tied it at ten on a Freddy Sanchez single in the eighth. With Matt Wise pitching in the bottom of the eighth, Miguel Olivo led off with a single, but the next two batters truck out. Wise then proceeded to implode, walking Juan Rivera and giving up an infield single to the speedy Travis Hafner (we think that the scorer was being generous to Mr. Wise). With the bases loaded and two outs, Wise then inexplicably hits Paul Konerko with an errant pitch and the go-ahead run crossed the plate. Daisy, er, Brian Fuentes then shut down the Straphangers to win the game and avoid the sweep.
The other newcomer, Team Buddah took Johan Santana and the Endzone Animals deep into the eleventh inning, but came up just short. Jose Contreras dueled with Santana for eight innings. Santana ended up pitching nine and striking out ten Buddahs. Adam LaRoche won it with a solo shot in the eleventh.
Arkansas' Roger Clemens notched his 2500th career strikeout last night against the Mighty Men. Clemens struck out eleven in six innings. Clemens also moved closer to win # 200 last night - he is now at 192 for his career
