So I guess my earlier comparison of Felix Hernandez to Francisco Liriano was more on point than I thought. Now that King Felix has "tightness" in his elbow, Seattle fans better get Dr James Andrews on speed dial, because elbow enjuries don't seem to go away without the Tommy John procedure. Hopefully, this doesn't amount to anything, but it looks like a long season just got longer in the Pacific Northwest.
Elsewhere, Sox use the long ball and a THIRD straight awesome performance from Tim-may to beat the Jays in Toronto. Big win for the Beantown boys, since Julian Tavarez is getting thrown to the wolves today against Big Doc Halladay, who is coming off a 10 inning complete game victory.
The big bad Yankees pounded Cleveland again last night, with Duke Temple hitting yet another homer. It looks like the only way to beat them is to score 10 runs, since they are consistently getting 6 or 7 every night, their performance against Ramon Ortiz not withstanding. This team is a constant rebuttal to the conventional wisdom that good pitching beats good hitting. It actually takes great pitching to beat good hitting, and great pitching versus great hitting is pretty much a toss-up.
