DENVER -- Craig Biggio's teammates weren't quite sure what to say to the 17-year veteran after he was hit by a Jason Jennings pitch in the fifth inning of Tuesday's game.
"I think they said, 'Should we congratulate you now?'" Biggio recalled. "I said, 'I don't know. I guess so, and I guess not."

I remember Mo Vaughn would almost have his elbow over the plate and would get hit and what might have been called a strike.
