The San Francisco Giants won their game this afternoon. Professional reporters will tell you it was in part because of a good outing from Tim Hudson and other valid baseball reasons. I'm telling you they won from the good karma they promoted when they brought back "Batkid" to throw out the ceremonial first pitch. If you do not know the story of "Batkid", please re-new your faith in humanity by clicking this link
How does Cincinnati Red Joey Votto break out of an 0-13 slump? He wears a Mountie uniform on the show "Intentional Talk". Votto was hit by a pitch in his first at bat and hit singles in the 3rd and 5th inning.
The New York Yankees won their home opener then got shellacked today in game two of the series. Game 3 versus Baltimore features Masahiro Tanaka's 2nd MLB start. For those fans who want to believe the Yankees will finish higher in the AL East than the Baltimore Orioles, Wednesday's game is about as "must win" as the series opener celebrating the home kickoff of Derek Jeter's farewell tour.
The Miami Marlins impressively built a 5-2 record versus two clubs that finished 2013 with 74 wins and 76 wins respectively. Their first game of 2014 versus an opponent with a winning record from 2013, a 5-0 loss to the Washington Nationals. If the Marlins get swept by the Nationals during these three games in Washington then again next week in the re-match series in Miami, all playoff prognostications for the Fish should read, "nope, not happening".
Going into this three game series in Colorado, the Chicago White Sox had a 5-1 lifetime record at Coors Field. The Sox got hammered on Monday but Tuesday night put enough air miles on the baseball to almost fly around the world. SIX HOMERUNS including Jose Abreu's first two in the Majors.
