I missed the first seven innings or so, but I knew we grounded into 487565 double plays in that span. I know we usually don't run plays, but I didn't know if we actually tried yesterday.

I'm heartened by the fact that so many students today know something about Robinson to begin with; it's not as if I'm bringing up someone foreign to them. When I was in school, we weren't taught about Robinson. I knew about him as a baseball fan, but there was no mention in the school curriculum. Thankfully, schools today ARE teaching about Jackie--and that's a good thing, because he was as much a part of the Civil Rights movement as Rosa Parks and Brown vs. the Board of Education.

In fact, even though the outcome was disappointing, I thought the game was pretty good -- the Yanks actually hit better than the Rangers, despite subNova. Mean while, still no Red Sox wins against anybody but us. Buchholz is no better than Nova so far; Dice-K is worse than Hughes (and I wouldn't be at all surprised if Theo suddenly discovered that Matsuzaka has a dead arm). Crawford positively stinks. It's glorious. The GIDP thing was maddening, but, you know, the fact that the team has hit into, oh, three already, does not make it more likely that they’ll hit into more later in the game.
