Opening Day's Lone Game
So it was deja vu all over again, the scene ever so reminiscent of last October's NLCS. Sunday's game wasn't so bad. Actually, it was a pretty good game for Opening Day/Night. But then again, I wouldn't expect anything less from Sunday Night Baseball. Redemption proved to be sweet for the Mets, who topped the Cards 6-1. Tom Glavine was nothing short of outstanding, and didn't even let Adam Kennedy's 3rd inning triple rattle his cage. Chris Carpenter looked alright, though his location was a bit off. Carpenter will have time to ponder his mistakes, as he will miss his next scheduled start with elbow inflammation.
Now, On To The Good Stuff...
The Red Sox lost on Opening Day, for about the third or fourth year in a row, to Gil Meche and the Royals. The Red Sox seem to always lose on Opening Day; that's really nothing new. Curt Schilling didn't even last 5 innings,which was quite surprising.
Zito, Oh Zito: IN 5 innings, Barry Zito gave up 4 hits, 3 runs (2 earned), and struck out and walked 2. Not as great as one who've thought for a Cy Young Award-winning pitcher, but it wasn't all his fault: His Giants gave him no defense or offense whatsoever. Only two runners got past 2nd base. But, as Giants 1st baseman Rich Aurilla put it, "Nice day, though."
Damn Yanks: Well, rumor has it I'm not a Yankees fan. In fact, I hate them what a passion. They did do something the BoSox failed to though...win. Yanks beat the Devil Rays 9-5, with Alex Rodriguez providing the go-ahead runs with his 465th career homer. Now you can say all you want about the Devil Rays, but they're a feisty little team, ha ha.
**Nothing else even matters at this point, and I'm extremely tired. I'll do better next time, promise!
