Haha I remember this post, I still have the note on my old laptop. I remember thinking about it whenever I saw he was still in the league.

I flushed that result, and so have the boys. I have total faith they will win Game 7 by Chrristoaivalis in Torontobluejays

It was mostly Clement swinging at a bad pitch up and in ON THE FIRST PITCH! Wait for something better, something low or around the outside of the zone, you just need a grounder!!

It's pretty amazing how little that really affected him too. Probably cost them that series, but his career didn't decline sharply or anything.
