Pittsburgh beats Detroit… again

The Pirates are playing against the Tigers just as the Penguins beat the Red Wings.

I wonder when the last time the cities facing off for the Stanley Cup also had both teams playing each other in the Major Leagues.

I would look this up, but it is 12:30 AM and these are the kind of idle thoughts that when combined with an internet connection could keep me awake for another 3 hours.

If you know the answer, post it on my comment section.

Now if you will excuse me, I need to go to bed.
In less than 6 hours, my sons will come running into my bedroom to wake me up and they won’t care about Stanley Cup Finals match ups.

I’ll take the wins any way I can get them!

When the Red Sox started this 6 game run against the Yankees and the Phillies, I thought 4 wins in that stretch would be terrific.

Last night, the Red Sox went 5-0 and are sending Beckett on the mound to make it another clean sweep.

Yeah it was a little ugly.

Yeah, Dice K still makes me nervous and any game where your team scores 5 runs before the other team comes to bat should NEVER be in doubt.

But it is in the win column.

And I’ll always take 4 hit nights from Julio Lugo!

And if the Yankees can feel good about a game won because Luis Castillo couldn’t catch a pop up, I’ll feel good about this ugly slugfest in Philly.

Beckett tomorrow… playing with house money.

If the playoffs started today…

The San Francisco Giants would be tied for the Wild Card.

I don’t know how many more days I can say that… but for my dad’s sake, I’ll keep announcing that on Sully Baseball every day until they fall out of the Wild Card lead.
