"So far on this road trip, our hitting has been bangin'." -- Tampa Bay pitcher James Shields, after the Rays swept a 2-game series in Yankee Stadium, scoring 18 runsDaily blurb
Interleague play.
I guess this weekend is supposed to feature the natural regional rivalries, like Yankees-Mets, Baltimore-Washington, Oakland-San Fran, Cincy-Cleveland. But not all series follow that theme. The Chicago and L.A. intercity series don’t happen until next month.
I was hoping that Tommy Hanson would be a differentiator on my RotoHog teams last night. Sadly, I was correct. It was reminiscent of getting “Ramoned” many years ago. (Hard to believe that was a full ten years ago.) At least the Braves’ miracle comeback took away the potential loss. Whoop-de-doo.
