Clash of the Titans

Clash of the Titans was terrible movie that anyone attending elementary school after its release in 1981 was forced to suffer through. While Hollywood is predictably remaking this movie (all movies will be remade one way or another) for release in 2010, a Clash of the Titans took place along the Ohio River with Cliff Lee battling Edinson Volquez on Sunday (numbers 1 and 2 on LWAL's power pitcher rankings). This game, like the original movie, did not live up to the "Epic Entertainment Spectacular" that we thought it might be. Going into Sunday's game Cliff (who's ERA was so low he could be Medusa and Kraken all in one) had allowed a mere 4 earned runs in 7 starts spanning 53.2 innings. On Sunday, the Little Red Machine scored 5 in only 5.2 innings, more than doubling his ERA from 0.67 to 1.37. Perseus Volquez slayed the beast, allowing 2 earned runs over 6 innings. Unfortunately for Volquez, there is no Princess Andromeda for him at the end of this epic struggle, but he might get the top spot in the next round of top pitchers...

Ahh, Harry Hamlin at his finest. Great movie as a kid. Let's hope Cliff doesn't burn up in the atmosphere as he returns to Earth.
