I am not sad that I missed this game - like, even a little.
Let's rummage through the wreckage for positives...
- Morneau had a good day. That's a good sign.
- Perkins came in and devoured some folk.
- Mauer displayed boyish charm and tough-as-nails leadership throughout the game.
- Because of this, the Red Sox and Yankees are tied for last place, with three teams above them. That's could be a tough hole to get out of.
- By all accounts, none of the visiting team committed any felonies while playing.
I really hate to think that Liriano showed us a great spring, just to go belly-up when it comes to the regular season, but again, I didn't watch.
I am very glad that Morneau has stung the ball a couple times. He's missed a pitch or two, but the more hits he gets early, the better.
Liriano was fine. Bad defense and bad luck.
I'll second that viewpoint.
If you're the sun (and you are), then I'm the darkness, but that's how I saw it too. It was frustrating.
