This is sweet!

Despite pounding out 11 hits today at LA or Anaheim, the Yankees were only able to score 4 runs, while limiting the Halos to 11 (eleven) runs. Giese gave up 3 hits and 1 run in 6 innings, but the NY bullpen (Veras, Ramirez, Robertson) then imploded: 2 IP, 8 H, 10 R, 9 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, 3 HR.

While I'm enjoying seeing the hankees on the south side of a score like this, it only means the Angels are for real. Although they lost 2 out of 3 to the yanks last week at NY, they have pounded them twice in 2 days: 10-5 yesterday, and 11-4 today.

Beware the Angels come October.

Manny's 16 Tickets

Someone got those 16 tickets!

From the Los Angeles Times:

THE DODGERS sent someone to the left-field pavilion on Saturday night to retrieve the first Dodgers home run hit by Ramirez so he might have a memento. A youngster agreed to surrender it in exchange for a ball autographed by Ramirez and 16 tickets to a Dodgers game. The Dodgers complied -- the coincidence amazing. Ramirez made national news recently when he pushed the Red Sox's traveling secretary to the ground after a dispute involving tickets he wanted for his family. Ramirez had asked for 16 tickets.

Do you think that kid knew what he was doing?

Details of the Dodger Exhibition Games

Some new items of note were reported over the weekend concerning the Red Sox exhibition games against the Los Angeles Dodgers in March. The middle game of the three game series will be played at the Los Angeles Coliseum where the Dodgers played while Dodger Stadium was being constructed. Because the dimensions are so tight (shorter than left in Fenway) a screen was put in place that was 42' high. It has yet to be determined if the screen will return for the March 29th game. The game is part of the yearlong celebration to mark the 50th anniversary of the Dodgers moving to the West Coast. The game at the Coliseum will be a charity game with all of the net proceeds going to ThinkCure the Dodger's official charity.
