News from yesterdays slew of games…
The Yankees and Red Sox had a pitchers duel between Josh Beckett and AJ Burnett. I said Pitchers duel, the final score??? 16-11. Both starters gave up 8 runs. The Yanks were up 6-0, but the Red Sox came back with a Jason Varitek Grand Slam and Ellsbury HR. After that, the Red Sox took control, but the game was close up until the 8th when the Red Sox pulled away. Today is the final game with Andy Pettite vs. Justin Masterson. Boston has won 9 straight now, and it is up to Masterson to make it 10. For my team sakes, I hope they start a losing streak of 1!
Albert Pujols yesterday hit another grand slam, his second on the season. It pushed him past 1000 career RBIs and put him at 25 RBI on the year already. He is clearly the best player in the game, surpassing A-Rod (that’s if you thought A-Rod was better to begin with).
Trevor Hoffman is off the DL and will be the Brewers closer. They have desperately needed him since the season begun.
James McDonald, former #1 prospect of the Dodgers earned his first MLB win last night going 5 innings, but gave up 5 runs. They won 8-5 so he got the win, but wasn’t exactly pretty.
Mike Pelfrey did something amazing yesterday. Got a win for the Mets not being named Johan Santana.
Alex Rodriguez is about to start running the bases. I hope he comes back soon, I can’t stand watching Cody Ransom and Ramiro Pena continue to suck it up.
Randy Johnson did not pitch well against his former team, walking 7 and not getting out of the 4th. The Giants pulled out a win though.
