Anybody get the license number on that truck?
Thank goodness that's over. Now we can get on with the real business of 2011, a face-to-face showdown with the Baltimore Orioles. Fourth place is on the line.
Elsewhere... Roy Halladay (hmm.. name rings a bell) will try to become the majors' first 10 game winner on Wednesday, against the Marlins. You're not going to believe this, but he also leads the majors in innings pitched and complete games.
And Derek Jeter will try to bang out seven base hits in the next four games. If he can't, he'll probably get his 3000th career hit at Wrigley Field, of all places. Which just seems weird, Wrigley being the place where he accumulated exactly 2 of the 2,993 hits he's currently sitting on. It will be the story of the week, we'll quite soon be sick of hearing about it. Especially because seven or eight years from now, when they're welcoming him to Cooperstown, no one is going to care at all. Not even a teeny, tiny bit...
Don't know if you noticed, but there was about a sixteen hour window when Jose Bautista was no longer standing alone atop this season's HR leaderboard. Curtis Granderson (described by me, right here, some five or six weeks ago, as "this year's Bautista" - pay attention to the old fool, will ya?) actually caught up to our boy. So there was that to be pleased about this weekend.
Wasn't much else.
