One of my all-time favorites...
First pitch 1:15 p.m. CDT
Ervin Santana (6-9, 3.43 ERA, 99 K, 1.212 WHIP)
Danny Duffy (10-1, 2.73 ERA, 143 K, 0.985 WHIP)
We could be in for a low-scoring pitchers' duel today as Santana and Danny Duffy square off on the circular mound. At the moment, Duffy is the only pitcher in the American League with a WHIP under 1.00 (and sporting an ERA+ of 162), while Santana checks in at 16th with a 1.21 WHIP. As long as he stays the course, Duffy has a legit shot at the AL Cy Young award this year. I'd like to see this game be a latter day hiccup in that eventuality, but on the advice of my physician and bookmaker I'm not holding my breath.
Play ball!
No major incidents and the games were pretty fun to watch, I guess. Pole vaulting was cool, and that's really the only sport I pay attention to.
Next, we take Tokyo!
We entered the post-graduation phase of parenting in earnest a couple of weeks ago when the Boy relocated to Tinseltown to seek fame and fortune. No job yet, but he is getting an edumacation in apartment hunting. After pushing me to hurry up and fill out an application as a co-signer (complete with $45 per applicant fee), he learned that his roommate (not yet in town) was not on board with the unit because of cost. Took me five minutes to identify decent options for about $900/month less. Oy.
