Sports Center Highlights

Robinson Cano needs to tune in tonight to see how to play second base like Al! The same goes for Reynolds, Tollison, Betemit, Flaherty or whoever else may play 3B for the Orioles, to see how to pull off a 5-2 double play such as Mel did today. And what about Bobby D. with his spectacular outfield play!!!! Hot bats empowered Blue to prevail 17-5 in game one. We also employed one of our February indoor plays only this time it was not an imaginary runner but an imaginary third baseman that the relay throw from left field was meant for. The "perfect strike" was stopped by the runner's neck who was advancing to third (not to worry, I coulda taken him if it had progressed beyond words--he was only an old retired MSP Trooper). {By the way, where were you Evers?} Game two began in an all too customary fashion with Blue's bats having cooled. With a slow start but persistent pace, Blue took game two 11-1. Larry pitched two excellent games, although he has yet to get his first shutout of the season. Hope Freddie P recovers from batting practice and Oscar recoups soon and Timmy gets out of school as 290 innings will surely take its toll on Larry. If anyone has a second CC cap, please carry it to each game so TH doesn't have to trade caps with Chance (a white hat on the "young" silver haired Chance does him no justice).
