Movin on to California

I can't dwell on last night's game. First, I hate when ESPN decides to broadcast on of our Sunday games, because it means an 8:00pm start. And Yankee-RS games always last forever! So it was well after midnight before A-Rod ended the game with a home run in the 9th...We lose 6-5.

But I had to chuckle over the NY newspapers this morning. All making it sound like this series will turn around the Yankees' season. They've still got a lot of ground to make up. And we need to keep winning, because any team in the AL East could catch us if we run into injury trouble.

Meanwhile, the game ended at 12:13 and at by 2am the Sox were on a flight to the West Coast. Three games vs. Oakland starting tonight at 10pm, and then 3 games in Arizona. Brutal to follow the Yankee series with a West Coast series....But very cool to think that the next time the Sox are out on the Coast, I'll be with them!

But here's the best news: Dustin Pedroia (above) was named the AL Rookie of the Month for May. According to mlb.com:

Pedroia started the month with a .172 average, but batted .415 over the month to increase his season average to .308. He also had a .600 slugging percentage in May.

A well-deserved honor - and we hope his hot streak continues. Go Munchkin!!
