Baseball

I was going to write a post about how the Mets have to stop getting 3 runs in the first inning. Every time they have done so this season, they seem to struggle to score any more and their starter gives up more than 3 in the first five innings of the game. Then the Metsies had to pull Friday night's game against Milwaukee out of a hat by coming back to tie the score at 4-4 on 40-year old Gary Sheffield's 500th career home run and then accepting a gift wrapped win 5-4.

(Today's game was a humdinger of a pitchers' duel that saw Johan Santana get his second win in a 1-0 thriller.)

Then there was the Yankee vs Cleveland game on Saturday. The Yankees scored 2 in the bottom of the first to jump out to a 2-0 lead. From then on is was Custer against the Souix. Cleveland scored 14 runs in the top of the second inning. The final? 22-4 Indians. Ouch!
