Well the series between the Sox and Yanks have opened up 2-0 Sox, because of a crazy come from behind win in game 1, with Jason Bay hitting a two run home run off of Mo Rivera, and then Youkilis hitting the solo shot to win it in the eleventh inning…  And then game two the Sox won 16-11! THe fourth highest total between the teams in their history.

The Red Sox have now won 9 games in a row, with Justin Masterson looking to get them to 10 tonight.

The Cardinals and Dodgers share the league leading record at 13-5, with Pujols and Manny leadin the way.

And remember the 11-1 Marlins team I had mentioned, yea they are now 11-7 after losing 6 in a row!!

THis afternoon both Brandon Inge and Adrian Gonzalez hit their 7th home run, tying them for second in the majors….

Well first of all…. the Marlins have cooled off after starting out at 11-1, and so have the Dodgers losing 2 of 3 to the Astros this past weekend.

Last night Felix Hernandez pitched brilliantly for the Mariners who won 1-0 again, which they have already done this year once. 

The Blue Jays keep winning http://thestar.blogs.com/baseball/2009/02/mail-bag-2.html, and are now 12-5, and have the best record in the majors.

The Dodgers ace Chad Billingsley improved to 4-0 last night, becoming the first starter with 4 wins this year.

And the big story of the weekend is the Bosox and Yankees series that kicks off in Boston…

Needing only 5 more outs for a no hitter Dave Bush of the Brewers finally allowed a hit that broke up his no-no…

http://www.postcrescent.com/article/20090423/APC020601/90423099 That’s all that I have for now, I’ll probably be back tomorrow with more.

The Dodgers are still streaking looking to win their eighth straight game today, while the Marlins are 11-1, and off to an incredible start to the season.  Over the weekend the Yankees had their first game at the new Yankee Stadium, which they ended up losing 10-2, but it wasn’t C.C’s fault like his first game. He pitched well, but the bullpen gave it away…. And 1 day after losing 22-4 , the Yanks pulled it out today with a 7-3 win. 

And for the Red Sox, Lester is finally on the right track with a big win today vs the Orioles.

A bit more news…..  Dice K was put on the 15 day DL for arm fatigue, probably because all he pitched in the World Baseball Classic.

Carlos Quentin hit his 7th home run today, leading the majors through 12 games.

All I have for now be back soon,

After the first week of games, there are lots of exciting news.  To start out, Evan Longoria already has 5 home runs in 6 games, the Blue Jays and Orioles are 1st and 2nd in the AL East…

Josh Beckett just got suspended 6 games for throwing at BObby Abreu in their game vs the Angels..http://deadspin.com/5211936/josh-beckett-suspended-six-games interestingly so, Abreu is a former Yankee, whom Beckett doesn’t like anyways.

Ichiro is expected to come off the DL in a couple of days, and Ken Griffey is 1 home run shy of 400 as a Mariner…..

Kalas, the Phillies announcer, died earlier yesterday before a game when he passed out in a booth

Tom Glavine has an inflamed rotator cuff….. and of course the worst team in the majors last year the Nationals, is to no suprise, 0-7 this year, still the only team without a win this year… and that’s it for now….

So as the season gets underway, we are all excited. C. C. started for the yankees, which ended up horribly in Baltimore, with a 5BB and 0 strikeout game…. first time since ‘03 without a strikeout….  The Yankees dropped the first two to Baltimore, but ended up saving the sweep today.

The Rangers, yes I said the Rangers, swept the Indians today, starting the season at 3-0…….. watch out for the boys from Texas!  Other sweeps included the Marlins, but they did the sweeping… haha, the Nationals got off to another bad start at 0-3…

But above all, we are all mourning the loss of Nick Adenhart, an Angel rookie who died in a car crash after one of his games.  As we pray for him and his family, we wish them the best……

Well Today, the Yankees took the field for batting practice at their new 1.5 billion dollar stadium… and although noone really recorded anything…. Derek Jeter did hit the first home run at the new ball park during batting practice. 

With Only 3 days away teams are starting to put their lineups together… The Rangers recently said that Andruw Jones, whom they signed to their minor league club, has earned a fifth outfield job…

The TIgers released Gary Sheffield, whom is probably going to Philadelphia to play for the Phillies.. Since they lost Burrell….. whom was a big power man in their lineup last year.
