Yankees 4, Devil Rays 1
Baseball, as it always seems to, extracted its cosmic payback on the D-Rays last night. Wednesday, the Yankees got 14 walks, stole four (five?) bases, hit a lot of balls hard, and only get 2 runs in 10 innings. Last night, they get very few walks, get some hits on balls not exactly scorched, and win 4-1.
But that was then and this is now. And now isn't lookng too good. Jaret Wright has gone walk, home run, walk to the first three Blue Jays' hitters. I can't fault Wright too much, much as I'd like to. Wright hasn't pitched since April 15th, My expectations for this start are not the highest.
And there goes baseball again, making an idiot out of me. I no sooner finish typing the previous sentence and Wright gets a double play.
Mets have something to prove
The Mets open a three-game series at Turner Field vs. the Braves tonight. Turner Field has been the Mets' personal house of horrors since it opened; there record there is abysmal (can't be bothered to look it up right now but it's 17-50 or something like that.
Right now, the Mets are significantly better than the Braves. And though it's only April, the Mets can semi-bury the Braves, at least for a little while, with a strong showing in this series. And in the process convince themselves that they really are a good team. Which, and it pains me to say this, they are.
