Weekend Baseball Wrap; Memory Eternal!
The Yankees had their normal troubles with the LA Angels of Anaheim of Orange County of Southern California of the United States of the Western Hempshire of the Planet Earth of the Solar System of Known Universe... After losing the first two games, the Yankees had to beat the pesky Angels to keep them out of the playoffs. Led by two home runs each by "Bern Baby Burn" Williams and Derek Jeter, the Yankees beat their SoCal foes 11-8. It was a nice start for Karstens who really turned himself around after being demoted from AAA to AA and now up to the majors. He hasn't lost since May.
As for the Mets, their 11 game winning streak ended Friday night but started a new one Saturday night with a convincing win over the Phillies. Sunday's game was rained out and rescheduled for Monday.
What about the suddenly hot Seattle Mariners? After losing 11 straight to divisional foes, the Mariners beat the Yankees two out of three games at Safeco and thankfully swept the RS. The RS are thankfully now 6.5 games behind the Yankees in the AL and 5.5 games in the Wild Card behind the Twins and White Sox. The Angels are thankfully 5.5 games behind the As and 8.0 games back in the Wild Card. The Yankees long road trip and three week consecutive playing couldn't have gone much better.
Most importantly, today is the one year observance of my Aunt Radojka's passing. Though she is reunited in Heaven with Uncle Dragan, I love her and miss her. Please also keep the Hurricane Katrina victims in your prayers as tomorrow is the one year observance of that tragedy. R.I.P. and Memory Eternal to all the reposed souls.
