Hondo
Just when Hondo was getting hot -- 4-1 Tuesday night -- along comes the rain to put out the fire. Mr. Aitch was washed out with the Metamucils last night in the big Citi, so the deficit held steady at 805 garretts.
Today, Mr. Aitch once again will be pickin' and grinnin' with Santana -- 10 units on the Metamucils.
