When is a GIDP not a GIDP?
I was at the game tonight, and even I have no freaking idea what happened on that last play.
I was too busy snapping a photo of the scoreboard to document the new name for Minute Maid:
It's now "The Donut Shop."
And then all of a sudden, it's one out, Huff's at the plate, everybody's screaming at him just to take the walk or strike out looking so that Luke can save the day, and the idiot hits into a double play.
Or does he? The moment he's forced out, Lamb's now free to run and has to be tagged out, not forced out.
Lamb slides, and somehow the game's over.
By the way, biggest screwover of Clemens was by Ausmus. Worthless at the plate, hitting and preventing passed balls. Roger's last K wasn't an out because Ausmus let it bounce all the way to the Brewers' dugout.
Willy T, on the other hand, was a monster in the field. Rifle-shot dead-on putout at third, two diving catches, and an over-the-shoulder.
Beltran who?
Lidge (shakes head) Lidge... do they give out Lead Glove Awards? The man was flopping on a slow roller, grabbing and missing twice like John Candy in the mud wrestling pit in Stripes.
