The Rocket Can Dish It Out, But He Can't Take It/Mateo For Carlos Jr. Role

Props to rookie Juan Mateo for doing what the useless veteran Shawn Estes could not do when he tried a few years ago, which is retaliate against Roger Clemens when he was up at bat. After Clemens hit Itchy Jones in the first, Itchy came back his next at-bat and belted a three-run homer. Then when Clemens came up in that the 5th, Mateo hit Roger in the arm. In the 6th, Baker pinch-hit for him with Ryan Theriot, so all Clemens could do was retaliate against Theriot.
Give Baker credit for the line of the day:
"Roger used to be … he threw one behind Jacque early. Roger used to be better at hitting the target.”"
