Fenway Open for Business...While I won't be at the game today, I'll merely be working a few hundred feet away, you can be damn sure I'll sneak down to Lansdowne Street to patronize the Sausage Guy right behind the Monstah by the third inning.Now, it's entirely possible that I'll step in an ankle-deep pool of vomit and my commute home will be extended by an hour, but who cares? It's opening day at Fenway, and if Papelbon pitches anything like he did Sunday night against Los Rangers (they didn't stand a chance) it could be a happy season in the Fens.
And, yes, this entire section was just an excuse to use my own original photograph from a Fenway tour a few years back. Will the Mariners remember how to play after a four-day vacation in beautiful Cleveland?
Cubs winless at Wrigley this year...The Cubs suffered their fourth loss of the season in the home opener yesterday. Bob Howry has pitched 3.2 innings this season and has two of those loses. Sizzling.
Meanwhile, Soriano has a seven-game hitting streak to start the season, problem is he's gone 1-4 three times and 1-5 in the other five. No RBI. No homers. One stolen base.
It's still early to draw any long-term conclusions, but it is a bit alarming to see the Cubs already a game below .500 when you consider they've only played fellow Central foes.
Mas Caballos, por favor...In addition to spitting out some of the best sports related t-shirts around, including the only t-shirt I'd spend $36 on (even more here), No Mas runs a kick ass blog and now they've added a horse racing columnist to the mix.
The site was already covering the sweet science but getting Frank Mitchell to write about the ponies officially makes them the best blog for sports fans who still wish it was 1934. And I do.
The Derby preps are in full swing and the first Saturday in May will be here before you know it. Make No Mas a daily stop before then.
