Lester gets banged around



Game 2 of the season started off well but ended around the 5th inning. I sat down expecting to see a nice pitchers duel and it looked that way with Lester striking out 5 batters the first 2 innings. But with our offense not able to muster up near enough runs and with the home plate umpire calling strikes that were over a foot outside, we didn't have a chance, we lost 7-2. I guess this is what they meant by our offense being "Mannyless". It was nice though to see Rocco in our lineup, I think he will be a good addition to our lineup and he made a real nice catch in the outfield to rob the Rays of a base hit. Jacoby will need to get on base more, and Tek looked lost once again at the plate. We will have to see what DiceK brings to mound our next game.

We will going to the west coast on Friday so it will be a late game for us here. I like the late games on the west coast on the weekend.

Fun to see the Yanks keep losing to the "slugging" Orioles. Will the Yanks win one this year?
