 Seattle 3, Cincinnati 2
Ken Griffey Jr. enjoyed the final day of his Seattle homecoming so much he was still laughing in the Reds dugout and wearing a collared shirt and blue jeans 40 minutes before the first pitch. It didn’t seem to affect his swing. Griffey hit two home runs to pass Mark McGwire for seventh place on the career list in the Cincinnati Reds’ 3-2 loss to the Mariners on Sunday. “When the game starts, it starts,” he said. “Everything else, like (Allen) Iverson says, ‘It’s just practice.”‘ Griffey quickly changed into his uniform and homered in his first at-bat against Miguel Batista. He then hit No. 584 in the fifth inning off Batista to pass McGwire.

Red Sox and othersIt's interesting to watch a team go from the underdog to the team on top that everyone tries to knock down. I am a Bostonian and sat through what seemed like endless years of sub-par Boston Red Sox and New England Patriots teams that disappointed me annually. The poor Red Sox, people thought they had a curse that couldn't be lifted. But now the Sox are World Series winners twice in three years, something I never thought I'd say! All of a sudden, the Red Sox are the mighty that everyone will want to beat. They are the bad guys now, the ones everybody wants a piece of. And it's the same thing with the Patriots. They are now hated by lots of football fans. One commentator called every game against the Pats as that team's Super Bowl. I haven't seen the Patriots this year, but I went to the Angeles vs Red Sox game 3 in the playoffs and also Game 2 of the World Series. I bought game tickets from here. This year, I think I am going to forget about sports for a while and instead check out a show, maybe Young Frankenstein. But of course you can bet you'll see me at Fenway Park or Wrigley Field during this upcoming MLB season. |
