The Show Returns [Wednesday Morning Quarterback]

You’ve probably heard the saying that hindsight is 20/20 on Monday morning, so just imagine how well I can call ’em two days later on Wednesday. That’s right, it’s time for Wednesday Morning Quarterback, your weekly sports round-up.

Baseball season is back and exciting as ever! Talk about first day surprises though. Who would have guessed that C.C. Sabathia would be pounded by the O’s? Who could have expected that Griffey would hit another opening day homer? Or that the Marlins would pound the Nats? Ok…that one was a bit more predictable…

Still though, nothing better than watching my man Hanley Ramirez smash a grand slam or seeing Bonifacio round the bases like a mad man for an inside-the-park home run (or almost repeating it the next night). Tempering my joy is the 5-3 loss of the Rays to the Red Sox. That’s exactly what baseball is, though. Joy and sorrow all mixed together. Getting this pumped over three days of games is a bit premature, I’m sure, we’ve still got 159 games left to go for most teams, but it sure feels good to be back.

No predictions this week, I’d like to let them stew a bit more. I’ll put in some highlights later on today that will inevitably be gone within the week.

Until next time sports fans.

    I was talking with Danny N yesterday about the Yankees loss to the Orioles. I couldn’t believe it! But then again, if I remember correctly, (being someone who only follows baseball casually) the Yanks are a team that usually starts off losing and then wins enough in the end to make it to the playoffs.

    Baseball’s an endurance game. One loss means nothing in the grand scheme of things. It was just surprising to see C.C. get spanked so hard. Then again, he apparently went 1-5 in his first six starts of the year, so he’s supposedly a pitcher who warms up as the season progresses. Seems to be a perfect fit for the Yankees…

    That being said, the Yankees can’t afford to just heat it up in the late season. They’re now the third best team in the AL East, by most accounts, meaning they have to continually deal with both the Rays and the Red Sox. Can’t rest on your laurels with such stiff competition in your face.
