Here's Johnny!

Baseball Briefly

Johnny O. Back in baseball.

He had three hits.
Almost five, if the ball didn't hit the pitcher twice.
Redsox had a 27-hit game against Yankees today.
I taped and watched it as far as the fifth inning.

I was unaware that Olerud had signed with Boston until a few days ago.
Now he's been to the minors, too.
He looked just the same as always.
But it's funny to see him wearing the Redsox jersey.

I saw the M's game against Tampa Bay.
(With the Tampa guys doing play-by-play, it was not bad,
but it's not as entertaining as M's team.)

Sele pitched well again with Borders behind the plate.
Whatever he is doing, it's working.
The offence scored a couple of runs with bases loaded,
courtesy of the error by Alex Gonzalez playing 3B (Richie's sharply hit grounder.)
That's all they did today against Casey Fossum.

Except, Borders hit a huge homerun in the seventh,
and that proved to be the difference.
A huge contribution from a 42-Yrs-old back-up catcher.

Mariners beat Rays 3-2.
