The streak had to end. Rookie pitcher making one of his first ever starts against a streaking team, making this a candidate for the reverse lock. Especially when the pitcher’s name is C Young. (3 Youngs in the starting lineup for the Rangers yesterday - describes the team perfectly.) When it did, at least:
-
The offense came back alive… I like at least that we were the team that clawed back into the game. Bellhorn full-Nelsoned Jeff… what a find at 2B.
-
Yankees lose to the Orioles two games in a row. Will wonders never cease? Oh look, Rivera had 4 ER charged to him and Kevin “Embedded Red Sox Trojan Horse” Brown needs surgery. Keep them wonders flowing! Pythagoras, we salute thee.
-
You don’t want to be the As, winning 20 in a row in the regular season only to collapse in the ALDS… a (solitary) loss is good for overall karma.
-
So the knuckler wasn’t dancing on a hot day in September. As long as it dances in October…
As Mark Roberts might say, streaking done, time to start streaking again…
