Yankees are having a rough start, but today's game was won the hard way...extra innings, no long balls.

The Red Sox are a heartbreak team.

They will lose until halfway through the season, then start paying attention and creating drama by winning it all back. If they just played the last two games of any one season, the results would be the same.

Dodgers are 8-2.

I've also been following some former Dodger pitchers to see how they are faring. Maeda had a great year with the Twins last year.

Some years ago by chance I rode the greyhound bus next to Mookie Bett's dad. Mookie was a minor league player at the time. Dad said 'the Red Sox top brass were there again this week looking him over. I think they might be getting ready to grab him.'  I said 'I've got a good feeling about this, Betts!' Several week later, he was playing for the Red Sox, and already a sensation. I bet papa doesn't have to ride the greyhound any more! LOL.

Did anyone else see this story (https://www.npr.org/2021/04/13/986724329/pitcher-hope-trautwein-throws-a-perfect-game-of-all-strikeouts)? Hope Trautwein of the University of North Texas pitched 21 straight strike-outs in a 7-inning NCAA Div. I softball game. Yes, a perfect game made up entirely of strike-outs.

Mind-blowing.

The Bosox club is back from the dead, and ready to roll onto another inevitible series triumph.

Dustin May's two seam fastball was breaking like a Frisbee last night.
