Observations while wondering how quickly MLB.tv games are going to be archived... Aside from the gruesome Jeter injury, the extent of which is not yet known, this is a great night for the Yankees. Not only did Clemens pitch very well against a damn good lineup, but Jose Contreras has just come in (we're just through the seventh inning as I type this) and struck out the side after giving up a leadoff double to Eric Hinske. The Yanks lead 8-0, including an RBI single by Matsui and homers by Ventura (2-run) and Soriano (grand slam, the first of his career). On top of that, I had the distinct pleasure of seeing the Red Sox blow a Pedro opening day start at Tampa, taking a 4-1 lead into the bottom of the ninth only to see it blown by Alan Embree and Chad Fox. One strike away from victory, Carl Crawford hit a three-run homer to right-center off Fox to make Lou Piniella's debut a victorious one, winning 6-4. Very enjoyable Opening Day all around, I only wish there were some late games. But there will be, starting tomorrow. - |
