A shoutout to the Red Sox this morning which scored 12 runs before making an out in the 6th inning last night to overcome a 2-1 Indians lead at the Fed and to set an all-time AL record for Most Runs Scored Before A Batter Made an Out, and to tie some NL team which also put up a dozen before a single batter had been outed – back in 18-freaking-83 which I’m not sure even counts to begin with.
Hon Men to Andy Pettite for giving up 4 homrs in a game for the fist time in his career (432 starts/442 appearances) and to Mariano Rivera for giving up homers back-to-back for the first time in his career (863 appearances)and to Yankee Stadium for surrendering 47 homers in only 13 games. The Yankees and their new yard are going to make a travesty of the game at this rate.
LA w/out ManRam? They looked okay at first, batting around to score 6 in the botom of the first against the Nationals, only to later blow that 6-0 lead and lose for the first time at home this season, 11-9 to DC. Ended is LA's MLB-record streak of 13 straight home wins to start a season.

And RIP, Dom DiMaggio!
Rich, it reminds me of a Phillies-Mets game back in the 80’s where Von Hayes led off the first inning with a home run; the entire Phillies line up batted; Von Hayes came up to bat again in the first inning; hit another home run … to become, as I recall, the first player in MLB history to hit two home runs in a single inning. Or, was he just the first player to hit two home runs in the first inning of a game?
Either way, every so often a guy’s gotta get his Von on, know what I’m sayin’?
I just hope Nomi will forgive me for mentioning that.
I forgive you, Dave.
(grinning and happy my team is finally winning)
Thanks, Nomi.
This is where the ignoranti strut around crowing about "All the way, this year! All the way, Beeyatch!!"--whereas, those of us in the know are aware that winning streaks are ephemeral as the morning dew.
Having said that. Hey, Hank Steinbrenner--SUCK ON THIS, ASSHOLE!!
