Americas Past time
Today is opening day for major league baseball (we’re not counting abomination of a PR stunt that MLB did)
The Red Sox are the new evil empire.
The Royals have Alex Gordon for his 2nd full season (and he hit a home run today in a come from behind win over the Detroit Tigers) but they’ll still be bad.
My Minnesota Twins traded the best pitcher in the game (Johan Santana) and got a bunch of no names (but once again, the Twins will come out on top) The Twins are in a tough division, so they weren’t going to do that well anyway. I predict 3rd.
The national league...well...the cubs still haven’t won. 100th anniversary of their last world series win.
But the real story around here is the Nebraska Cornhusker baseball team.
7-1-1 in the Big 12 and 21-4-1 overall.
A series win over Texas this past weekend was the first real test for the huskers and they passed with flying colors. A drubbing of Texas in the 1st game and a solid solid 2-0 victory in game 2 over shadowed Texas’ win in game 3.
The big red are playing very well right now and it seems that we might have underestimated them. It wasn’t hard to underestimate them though, with all their off the field problems and their seeming ability to fold down the stretch in seasons past.
The huskers face Texas Tech, Oklahoma State and Kansas in their next 3 series. All 3 are very winnable.
