A grab bag of things today, but a sad passing this week of Harmon Killebrew, a giant and an icon in Minny. HOF'er and the last of the Washington/Minnesota connection. Happy Trails Killer.
So this interleague thing is back again, and so we entertain the Houston Astros, who are likely wondering what they are doing in Toronto. Try the Eaton Cente boys, there's great shopping. Personally I was sick of this 5 years ago, so with a new round of playoffs coming in 2012, time to reduce or eliminate this waste of good summer rivalries. Rather see Rays, Orioles, or Red Sox more than weak sisters from the NL Central.
Bud, you and guys do something before next year.
A special bond was created awhile back between a young boy fighting against cancer and Romero/Arrencibia battery. When Ryley Martin recently lost his battle, these 2 felt the loss, and went out and battled the Rays. Outcome 3-2 Toronto, JP long ball the decider, and Romero hurled the win. After the game an emotional JP found it hard to speak, showing us that these are quality people, not just millionaires in stripped pants rolling a ball. Romero carved Ryley's initials on the back side of the mound, and in the 7th seemed to draw courage after hitting the 100 pitch plateau.
Another attempt at finding a 1st baseman, not named Edwin was tried last night, and well, not bad results. Sometimes booed for his impotent bat and lack lustre hustle so far, Juan Rivera smacked a solo shot, went 2-3, and played flawless defense, the latter being key quotient, no E - 3 's showed up in th final boxscore.
The McCourts are at it again, as the ex-missus says sell the team, I want my moolah, and to Divorce Court we go. I see a quick sale ladies and gents, the league does not want a long protracted public court fight.
As the All Star Game in Arizona inches closer, many hispanic players continue to quietly and vocally maintain that they will boycott the game due to Arizona state laws enacted in 2010, dealing with migrant workers, and their rights, or lack of them. Albert Pujols has gone on record, as has Adrian Gonzalez, and Carlos Gonzalez, so perhaps we will have a sit in, or opt out, but a protest seems inevitable. Stay tuned, a summer of discontent awaits.
