My morsels for today:
MLB: It appears several pitchers took the day off Memorial Day. Teams scored in double figures in six games, including the Cleveland Indians’ 11-10 win over the Tampa Bay Rays that featured an amazing comeback from a 10-0 deficit. The Chicago White Sox beat the Los Angeles Angels 17-3, the Los Angeles Dodgers bombed the Colorado Rockies 16-6, the Detroit Tigers crushed the Kansas City Royals 13-1, the Pittsburgh Pirates slipped past the Chicago Cubs 10-8, and the New York Yankees beat the Texas Rangers 11-1. … Cubs fans repeatedly booed their team during the loss to the Pirates at Wrigley Field. It was the eighth straight defeat for the Cubs, who scored only five runs on a six-game road trip that ended Sunday. Chicago’s Ted Lilly had a bad night even though he didn’t pitch. He was ejected from the game in the fifth inning for arguing balls and strikes from the dugout. Pittsburgh’s Freddy Sanchez had a great night. He banged out six hits, scored four runs, and drove in three. … Kansas City phenom Zack Greinke (7-1, 0.82 ERA) returns to the mound tonight to face the Tigers, who will counter with Edwin Jackson (4-2, 2.55). There should be some better pitching in this game.
WWE: As expected, Vince McMahon made the most of his problems with Denver Nuggets/Pepsi Center owner Stan Kroenke on Monday Night Raw. The wrestling show was supposed to be held at the Pepsi Center, but Kroenke gave McMahon the boot when Game 4 of the Western Conference finals between the Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers was scheduled for Memorial Day night in Denver. McMahon moved Raw to the Staples Center in Los Angeles, home of the Lakers. A phony Kroenke was pushed out of the ring by McMahon, and five wrestlers dressed in Lakers attire beat five guys dressed in Nuggets uniforms. Of course. I don’t imagine there will be any WWE shows at the Pepsi Center in the near future.
That’s all for now. See you later.
