Quote of the day
"Everybody believes … that Oakland needs a new stadium. The last time I was there, I probably shouldn't say this, but I'll say it anyway, it reminded me of County Stadium and Shea Stadium, and that's not a compliment, in either case." -- Baseball Commissioner Bud SeligDaily blurb
The Astros started yesterday’s game in Washington with three triples in the first inning. There’s something very numerically appealing when triples comes in threes. Just like when homers come in fours. And Curtis Granderson almost did that himself, getting three in the first four innings of last night’s game in Yankee Stadium. He couldn’t get the 4th round tripper, although he did get two singles to complete a 5-5 night. He also got picked off 1st base later in the game, so it wasn’t all gravy. There’s something to be said for getting to trot around the bases. Don’t forget today’s FanDuel freeroll. The two afternoon games aren’t included, so the contest freezes at 7pm ET. |
