Nieves Hit Watch 2007

Coming into tonight's Rangers game, Wil Nieves is 0-21 this season and has been held hitless in his last 33 at-bats dating back to 2002.
2nd inning: groundout to 3rd, extends hitless streak to 34 ABs (cut him!)
4th inning: sac bunt (at least it doesn't count against him)
6th inning: HOLY FREAKING WOW! THE HITLESS STREAK IS OVER!
Congrats Wil! You're now 1 for your last 35, and no longer can I say you're 0 since 2002. I still think they should cut you. And your teammates were right to laugh at you for trying pathetically to stretch that into a double.
Funny how he gets a hit in his first official AB after I started the official Nieves Hit Watch. I'll take credit for reverse jinxing him.
That was fun while it lasted.
