Blue Jays 7, Red Sox 3. With a 4-3 lead heading to the 8th inning and BJ Ryan on the DL, the Jays realized their only hope was to do the obvious…score more runs. A 2-run homer by Aaron Hill capped the scoring and gave the Jays enough of a cushion to top the Pink Hats who were obviously still hung over from their April sweep of the Yankees. APRIL.
A’s 6, O’s 5. The Orioles lose! The Orioles lose!
NOTES FROM AROUND THE AL EAST…
- The Yankees would be 17-0 without A-Rod. Derek Jeter’s defensive struggles? A-Rod’s fault. All the injuries to the pitching staff? A-Rod’s fault.
- Alex Rodriguez is the fastest ever to
1314 home runs. - This makes us giggle like a school girl.
- The Yankees passed over top prospect Phillip Hughes last time, but they won’t make the same mistake this week. Chase Wright was demoted after giving up 4 straight home runs to the Red Sox on Sunday Night and Hughes will get the ball for his major league debut on Thursday against Toronto. Hughes is generally regarded as one of the top pitching prospects in baseball.
- While Mets fans have trouble letting go of Scott Kazmir, Orioles fans are having trouble letting go of Jeffrey Maier.
- David Ortiz is Shakespeare with a bat. We had no idea Shakespeare had a tendency to go yard in the 9th inning of close games. We admit, some metaphors confuse us.
- Jaret Wright and Ramon Hernandez finally get to throw to each other, on rehab assignments. That is soo BFF.
