SHORT AND SWEET

It may be short, but none of it is sweet:

***YANKS LOSE 2ND IN A ROW***
A game of relievers. Relievers started, relieved and finished for both teams. Occasionally a team is forced to do something like this, but this is the first time I've seen BOTH teams do it at the same time. Unfortunately, the Tigers did a better job than the Yanks. Tonight, Vasquez is pitching and I'll be holding my breath.

***GRIFFEY SLEEPS WHILE THE MARINERS LOSE***
Most analysts feel Griffey will be gone by the end of the month. It's too bad a classy player would have to end on such an embarrassing note. It seems that clubhouse naps were a habit with him, but when he was still a force to be reckoned with, it was described as a "lovable trait." I hope he retires instead of forcing the Mariners to release him.

***HOW DO YOU LIKE IT?***
Last Thursday night, the Red Sox played the Angels in a game that started at 7:10 PM. Normally, Home teams schedule "getaway" games in the afternoon as a convenience to visiting teams. Sounds like pretty harsh treatment by the Red Sox, until you realize that the Angels are notorious for ignoring that "unwritten rule." So the Angels had to fly to Seattle to take on the Mariners Friday night. Hah! That'll teach you. Oh wait, it's the Mariners. The Angels won 8-0.
