April Brings May...

Obviously sometimes it takes a little pressure to bring out the best in someone. Yesterday, in a 4-1 loss to the Mariners, Darrel May went six strong, giving up five hits and striking out five Seattlers, and facing, get this, just three batters over the minimum. Either the pitchy coach had a little talk with Darrell about job security and paychecks, or he has started to feel like it’s time to be a professional baseball player and pitch like one. Nice work Mr. May.

As for the rest of the squad, no one did diddly pooh, as most of the first teamers were on the plane home. Not too many regulars were there, and the couple that were didn’t do much. Ahhh pre-season baseball…

It’s funny lately in our division. All of the rumblings of the prognosticators are in agreement on one thing:
A) Our division is terrible. Terrible in that really terrible kind of way.
2) The entire thing is up for grabs, no one can really make a positive evaluation of how this thing is going to play out in ’05.

Yeah, I know that’s two things, get over it. Point is, the top three, which I believe to be San Francisco, US, and the Dodger Bums, are the contenders right now. In my opinion, correct or incorrect as it may be, that will be the finishing order at the end of the season. It will be close. Very close. Who really knows if Arizona will show up or not? And at this point, who really cares?

Happy Weekending to one and all.
