Some news from yesterdays games…
More jersey woes, this time in Texas. Darren O’Day who was picked up yesterday had a rough day. He flew straight to Texas and then was supposed to head to the hotel but was called to come to the field since the game was in extras. He arrived in the 10th inning, and then was used in the 11th. He did end up giving up the GW run, but the odd part was his jersey. The team didn’t have a jersey for him, so he wore Kason Gabbard’s jersey!
The Red Sox won both of their games in a day night doubleheader. The first game was cancelled after 7 in order to clear the park for the next game (it was in a long rain delay after the 7th). Teams may complain, but they were up 10-1.
The Yankees and A’s played 14 innings yesterday. The Yankees had the best chance to break the 7-7 tie when they had bases loaded no outs in the 7th and Ros Springer got out Melky Cabrera, Brett Gardner and Derek Jeter. Melky got his revenge as he hit a 2 run HR to win the game in the 14th.
Oddly enough, there were 5 shutouts yesterday and a slew of extra inning games.
Barry Zito looked like the Zito who signed a 126 MM deal years ago. He pitched 7 scoreless innings, but the game went into extras and he got the ND. Bengie Molina got the game winning hit in a pinch hit role.
Joel Piniero improved to 3-0 after defeating the Mets yesterday. He is looking like the old Joel, which is needed for the Cardinals to compete after losing Chris Carpenter.
Manny Ramirez hit an absolute bomb yesterday, hitting it OVER the Citgo sign at Minute Maid Park, and oh yeah, it went COMPLETELY over the train tracks and out of the park.
Are the Indians willing to trade Cliff Lee after an awful start? I can see them trying to make a deal like they did with CC, but they won’t get a prospect like LaPorta back in the deal…
