A hellish Matching Round was heralded by an awful blunder. Match the suspended baseball player to his team. The problem was, they somehow had only three players and three teams listed. Instead we saw two Jesus Monteros on the left side and two Seattle Mariners on the right. One of each would have been fine, but what a surprise to have a Buzztime game ruined by the second coming of Jesus!

Yeah, we saw that as well. Figured that the real Mariners would be the first listed and went with that. Aced the final 6 as well (with the ridiculous "science" question of what did Shar Pei mean in Chinese? A: Rough Skin).

BLZBUB, DUFF, and I managed a #1 national with those 2 lucky guesses.

I believe the answer they gave was "Sand Skin," not rough, although I wouldn't put it past them to be incorrect and that rough skin is what it actually translates to.

You're correct, it was sand skin. I think I heard somewhere else that it translated as rough skin. Thanks for the correction.
