With One Game In the Book
Well except the fact that Houston and Atlanta play their first game later tonight.
Yanks beat the Angels
White Sox beat the Red Sox
Cardinals over the Padres
Any surprises there?
Of course there are, The Yankees got to my Cy Young winner, Bartolo Colon early. But he came back to pitch a great game. He was simply outpitched by Mike Mussina. It was an easier win than I expected.
However, the amazing Yankee offense couldn't score any more runs after the 2nd inning, that should be a concern. The Yanks have about as potent an offense as you could ever want, and now they have a full bullpen Al Leiter gives you a lefty to go to. The key to Yankee success is getting their starter deep in the game, once you get into the 6th inning, you can throw Leiter, Embre, Sturtze, Felix Rodriguez or Mendoza. I know, none of those names instill fear in you, but then you have Tom Gordon in the 8th, and The Great Mariano Rivera in the 9th.
The Angels are no slackers in the bullpen either, the Donnelly/Shields, and Frankie Rodriguez is something to be feared.
One of these teams is going to start putting runs on the board, the one to do that first, will win.
The White Sox crushed the Red Sox, 14-2, the big concern here is that usually when a team destroys another, they pretty much have shot their wad, to put it a porn reference to it.
The White Sox are going to have to keep knocking out the starting pitchers of the Red Sox. The Red Sox have the worst bullpen in the playoffs, so if you can get to them early, the Red Sox will fall.
Oh, the poor Padres, they were almost good with Jake Peavy, but he got rocked for 8 runs. And now he's hurt, and out for the season. Sorry Pad's have a nice time enjoying the best weather in the country, 'cause there will be no reason to leave San Diego as the post season rolls on.
