RAINOUT!!

Freddie Garcia lost his start because of the rainout, but he did have a bullpen session to get his throwing in. Rafael Soriano pitched the last two innings for him... This is the last time the Twins will be in NY this season, so there is no word on when the game will be made up.

***THE MAGIC CONTINUES***

Baltimore is still on top and Boston is still on the bottom. The Red Sox Nation is not happy. When you're picked by everyone to win your division by at least 5 games and you start out 0-5, your fans will naturally get nervous. Boston fans don't get mad, they get vicious. If the Sox don't take two out of three from the Yanks this weekend, there are going to be effigies burned.

***WHO HAD A WORSE OFF-SEASON?***

While Yankee fans have been complaining about losing Cliff Lee, consider the plight of the Tampa Bay Rays. They lost their bullpen, a starter and their two best hitters. What did they pick up? Two dynamos named Manny Ramirez, currently benched, and Johnny Damon, sitting because of sore legs. The Rays are also 0-5, and they would be in the news more if Boston had at least one win.

The Texas Rangers moved to 6-0 by beating the Mariners. King Felix took the loss aided by poor hitting, a terrible outing by the bullpen and three errors by infielders, who claimed the sun got in their eyes (well, it worked for the outfielders).

Silly things going on in the NL, too. San Francisco's in last place and Pittsburgh's in second.

I'm sorry that Vod made fun of Terry Francona's hat. My Dad used to wear a similar cap with what he called "ear-flappers," and no one had the courage to make fun of him, including his wise-ass son. CP-
