So, who gets hit tonight?
I may have been a little too “firey” the other day. Hate is a very strong word. I don’t “hate” Joba. Let’s just say he is the Yankee I tolerate the least now. So it was A-Rod they went up and in on last night, drilled so hard he took a walk up the third base line. Thankfully he didn’t charge the mound, credit him for that. I’m sure he knew it was either him or Jeter who was gonna get it, I’m just glad nothing got out of hand. I’m sure Tampa Bay would love a bench clearing, suspension getting brawl between the two teams chasing them.
Hopefully tonight, the two teams will just get back to playing baseball. The Yanks are streaking like crazy, and the Sox? Not so much. I just have a bad feeling these two teams are headed in two differant directions, its way to early to panic, but the feeling during this series is not a good one.
But who knows, tonight maybe they’ll play a typical 10 hour affair, both streak to atop the division leaving Tampa Bay behind, and in October we find ourselves in the same place we also seem to.
Only one thing to say
The Tampa Bay Rays are in first place in the
AL East. Its only May, its only one day, but Tampa Bay is in
first place………………………
FINALLY!!!!!!
So a Sox pitcher again throws a gem, and this time they manage to pull out a win! Of course it wasn’t easy. Just as Lester was throwing his one hitter through 8 innings, Roy Halladay was on the other side not giving up anything that would result in a run. You gotta give credit where its due, Halladay’s a true ace, sticking with it through nine innings, win or lose, a couple of times already this season. Paps closed out the ninth, and Dustin did his thing with the glove, saving a run with a great heads up play.
Papi was sent in on Youk’s single, can Papi get some credit for the hustle he’s shown, hitting slump or not? Its obvious that this team wants to win, I mean Manny’s stealing bases, ok a base, for heaven’s sake! Good to have Mike Lowell back, hopefully JD Drew’s injury is nothing serious, I’ve been happy for the guy hitting the way he has.
They say its a good sign if you can win the close ones, a walk off, 1-0 win seems like a good way to start a winning streak to me!
Oddest thing I heard tonight while watching Baseball Tonight: “And now highlights from the battle between the two top teams in the AL East………….(pause for dramatic effect, or maybe Rav couldn’t believe what he was about to say)….Baltimore and Tampa Bay.
Ok, I knew Tampa Bay was going to be improved this year, and you could see their pitching coming together, but did ANYBODY see the O’s getting off to such a hot start? Sadly I noticed Camden Yards was less than half full or so, first place or not. I know the folks in Baltimore hate the owner, but come on out and support the kids! I’m sure there are plenty of good seats available.
