Are there any sweeter words in the English language? Is there anything sweeter than picking up the New York Post and seeing the sports' headline "'El' of a Loss?" Answer: No. It's sweeter than a Hershey's Kiss.
(a) El Duque finally lost. I was getting a little concerned that he was invincible, and seeing him get rocked is heart warming.
(b) On Wednesday, I turned on the TV to see the Yankees leading the Blue Jays 3-0. Oh, here we go again, I sighed, cursing Bud Selig and his lack of salary cap under my breath. So I turned it off and about an hour later caught the Red Sox in the bottom of the ninth tied 6-6 with the O's. When they failed to score, I turned back to YES and they had just named Ted Lilly player of the game. YES! The $60 million Blue Jays just beat the $190 million Yankees! And that meant losing the series two games to one to Toronto. Losers...
(c) At about 11:45 I caught the top of the 12th when the Orioles had second and third with one out. I had to turn it off because I have a life. When I turned on the tube Thursday morning, I saw on the ESPN bottom line that the Red Sox beat the Orioles 7-6 in 12. Oh baby!
So the lead is back to 3.5 games, which doesn't bother me because the Red Sox are primed to make the playoffs anyway, and the Yanks may have to face a healthy Hudson, Mulder, and Zito. And Rich Harden is no slouch either. Let's pray that the Devil Rays can manufacture a couple of runs today and that the Orioles' Cabrera gets bombed.
