After dropping the opener to the Royals at home, the Yankees beat up on the majors’ worst team on Saturday (a 15-4 victory) and during the first two innings of Sunday’s game. They then went down in order (save a Johnny Damon single erased by a caught stealing) over the final seven innings of the series, squeezing out a 6-5 win in the finale.
Today they’re in Detroit for a Memorial Day afternoon special to open a four game series with the best team in the majors. The Tigers have a strong offense, which some of us saw coming, but have been winning with dominating pitching, which few if any of us did. This afternoon’s contest features the two disappointments of the two rotations, Randy Johnson, about whom more need not be said, and Jeremy Bonderman, who was the Tiger hurler ticketed for a breakout and, through an odd twist, the only one who hasn’t experienced one.
That’s all I’ve got for you right now. It’s a gorgeous day and Becky and I are going for a picnic. Enjoy!
