Sox 8, Pirates 0: Walking the Plank

·1 min

I expected Matt Clement to be good. I thought he would outperform Carl Pavano. I just never expected him to be this good. Or this interesting to watch. Whenever I saw Clement on the Cubs, his pitches seem to take forever. A bit of a yawnfest, truth be told. But today, that slider had bite.

And among things I never expected: I never expected to hear “and Ortiz scampers to third!” Woo! Big Papi with the wheels!
