You've gotta be kidding me

I just had to leave the room, since I almost threw my laptop through the T.V.

Matt Clement has just given up four consecutive infield ground balls. The first one was a wimpy dribbler by Paul Lo Duca. Then, a bad call by the ump on a ground ball back to the pitcher, in which Clement softly lobbed to first and Bradley was incorrectly called "safe". Then a booted grounder to Aramis (later called a single, a call I disagree with) off the bat of Shawn Green, followed by another misplayed soft grounder in Ramirez's direction. Two "earned" runs score, and Clement doesn't throw a single bad pitch. He doesn't even give up a single hard-hit ball. Talk about tough luck.

But Karma's a bitch, or so they say. So the Dodgers should watch out, 'cause it would appear they have some bad stuff coming their way.

[UPDATE: 12:30 AM] Oh well, there goes that Karma bit. Alex Cora (AKA, you gotta be kidding me, part 2) has a 10,000-pitch at bat against Clement that ends in a two-run homer. I'm going to bed.

I had relatively few feelings towards the Dodgers before this game. Right now, though, I have a few choice four-letter thoughts swimming around in my mind.
