No-RBI Nomar

Just want to point out that Nomar went 3 for 6 last night with no RBI. The table setters went 1 for 12 in front of him. Garciaparra's hits are being wasted because no one is on in front of him. In June, Garciaparra had more extra-base hits than RBI! You know what kind of hitters generally have more extra-base hits than RBI? Leadoff men. Guys who bat a lot with the bases empty because they are guaranteed to start the game with no one on and the bottom of the order doesn't get on very much. Nomar's batting third, but essentially, he's leading off for Manny.
