 Ordonez lead Detroit
The way things have been going early on for the Detroit Tigers, Dontrelle Willis initially thought he’d suffered a severe knee injury. Turns out it was hyperextended—that’s bad enough—after he slipped in front of the mound while delivering a first-inning pitch Friday night. If You want You can bet on baseball on BodogLife.com With Willis sticking around just long enough to throw 14 pitches, the Tigers regrouped behind a solid bullpen to beat the Chicago White Sox 5-2 for their second win in 10 games this season. “I thought initially I blew it out, but that’s not the case,” Willis said. “I’m able to put pressure on it now. As long as they give me a lot of Advil, I can go back out there.” Willis will be re-evaluated and when he might be able to pitch again was unclear. The lefty walked leadoff hitter Carlos Quentin. On his first pitch to Orlando Cabrera, his right knee that he plants while delivering gave way and he slipped in front of the mound. The mound may have been slick because the start of the game had been delayed 6 minutes by rain on a 46-degree night.

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. |
