Two days – four wins. Gotta love that, especially when one of them is against the Yankees. There wasn’t much coverage of this game online (no pictures, even – which is odd given that it was the Yankees).
Also, of the three runs we gave up, 2 of them were unearned. Unearned runs bug me, but at least they’re not runs that “count” in the ERA stats – but I could do without unearned runs, too. (OK that sounded weird).
Anyway, always nice to see a win against the Yankees. Too bad they can’t come in October instead of March.

The runs continue to come (two games in a row, 28 runs), and the wins continue to come – 4 straight, and a total record of 10-3 now. A couple of home runs, one by Bill Haselman, and the first of the year by Juan Gonzalez. Good pitching overall, with starter Rogers only allowing a single run in his four innings of work, and none from anyone else (Rocker, Miceli, Cordero).
It looks like a good team so far, but that’s probably just spring training optimism speaking. :) Still, it’s always nice to see your team do well, even if it is March.

My brother was in town visiting over the weekend, and as such, I didn’t have any time to update the site or listen to the games on the radio over the weekend, short of a few minutes of the Phillies game on Sunday. Due to that, I won’t be posting my own commentary for said games, but I will do update pages on them.

Game two of our SS DH was played to completion, and it ended with a Rangers win. It’s not on KRLD, so I listened to the Blue Jays feed through MLB.com. While it’s better than nothing, I have to find listening on the radio to non Rangers announcers doesn’t get me all excited about the game, tell you the truth. Normally during a work day, I can’t pay attention to the game because of what I’m doing. Today I could pay attention, and I was bored out of my skull listening to these guys.
Hideki Irabu did pitch three scoreless innings, and the runs we gave up appeared to be of the “bloop” kind. Overall, it reads like a very well pitched game, even though the line doesn’t show it. We had scattered offense, including a home run from a player I’ve never heard of before (Jason Botts).
Nice to get the win – anytime of the year!

Almost a completely perfect game by Kenny Rogers’ outing was definitely the bright spot in this game. Kenny didn’t allow a hit or a run, but unfortunately, there was an error committed behind him, otherwise he would have had a perfect outing. He also struck out three – from the lines and the stories, it seems like Rogers was very much the awesome pitcher.
Couldn’t say the same for Todd Van Poppel & Jay Powell. They weren’t awful, but they did give up some runs – only three between ’em for the four innings they pitched total.
Mike Young & Arod both went 2 for 3. Of course, a lot of this stuff came in the 7 inning second inning we got yesterday. Was a really great looking game on the box score. :)

Rainout. Not a lot to talk about in a rainout. We did get a few innings of the game in, and Chan Ho Park pitched four innings, looking good from what I can read in the online accounts of teh game (as it wasn’t broadcast anywhere).
We were winning 2-1 at the time of the cancellation of the game.
