We got home in plenty of time to watch this game. There was so much freakin’ hype about Roger Clemens before the game and I was sick of it by the time he threw the first pitch. And I was mighty DELIGHTED when the AL struck for SIX runs in that first inning. Mulder even got to bat! Of course, he didn’t swing it and he ended up being the last out of the first. Yes, he batted in the first inning. Twas glorious!

I tuned out after the third inning or so. I think in the fifth inning they had some kind of ceremony for Clemens. He predicted that the NL would climb back and win the game. See where wishful thinking gets you sometimes?
Mulder was interviewed once during the game, but nothing after that. I was disappointed. Even at the end, Clemens still got some tv time but nothing mentioned about Mulder aka the winning pitcher. Think FOX was a little slanted in their coverage or what? NL this, Clemens that. Who freakin’ cares?!

Like my TV shots? LOL! Maybe someday I’ll do proper screencaptures of my baseball fellas. Maybe.
Oh, and CONGRATS TO THE AMERICAN LEAGUE! I can’t believe I was cheering for Yankees and Red Sox and Rangers. Ah well, such is life. 😉
