Three really good series openers yesterday. Of course, the one I really wanted to see was my Red Sox, but I was teaching a new applicants' class. One of the people in the class had a Blackberry and got updates of the score at the break, and by the time class finished, the game had already ended.
![]() Rockies grab their Game 1 on the road in Philly, and Sweet Lou is being second-guessed all over Chicago for pulling Zambrano after only 85 pitches, or whatever it was. Brandon Webb (who I got to see pitch in person this season) threw a gem for D'backs. And Walt Jocketty is out as GM in St. Louis, less than a year after the Cards won the World Series. The team said his departure was a "mutual decision". Kind of puzzling.

The Indians' radio guy mentioned that, back in the 90's when the Tribe was all hitting and mediocre pitching (in 97 for a while their whole lineup was over .300), Joe Torre was asked how his team would match up in the division series. He intoned with a smile: "In the playoffs, it all comes down to pitching."
Bases loaded and 1 out in the 5th, and the Yanks get zip? And the Tribe scores 5 in the bottom half? I think Joe's onto something. ![]()

Three down. . .
Sox move on to the ALCS. (Jeter just threw away his throw to first. Oops) Schill was terrific, Papi and Manny go back-to-back, and the Sox put up a 7-spot in the eighth; but to be fair, the Angels were playing with less than their full team. Now the Sox wait until Friday night. Eight to go.

Jeter's errant throw (although not ruled an error) leads to an early run for the Tribe. I'm not gloating; just happy.
Although I'm not happy that King George has basically fired Torre. Even if the Yankees come back and win this series, how eager will Torre be to come back next season after Steinbrenner's ultimatum? Ok, I'm almost as tired of "Frank TV" commercials as I am of "This is Ouuuuuuuurrrrrrrrr Country", but that joke was kind of funny. John Madden asks why did the chicken cross the road? And the answer is, to get Brett Favre's autograph. ![]()

Back in the late 1950s (yeah - I know most of you weren't born yet, in fact for some of you, your parents weren't even born yet), I got two home run balls in the same game at Comiskey Park. One was hit by Minnie Minoso and I think the other was hit by Larry Doby. I didn't "catch" either of them, but chased them down by being faster than a bunch of other kids.
Obviously, I wish I still had them (and obviously, I wish I was still that fast).
