YU DARVISH

It’s been 4 games into the season for Yu Darvish, 4 games to prove me wrong about his ability in the Major Leagues. Well so far he is proving me wrong! Good for him.

In those 4 games he is 3-0 with a stellar 2.42 ERA, darn good for anyone’s standards.

He doesn’t go deep, only 26 innings in 4 games, but that is enough for today’s pitching coach. Is he worth the money so far? At this rate, Texas should get all their money back by the end of the year.

SPEAKING OF PITCHING

Johan Santana started off the season under a lot of questions, one of which was would he ever be his old self again after all that time away on the disabled list? Turns out he is, and if he had some support, would not be 0-3! In 4 games his ERA is 3.00, and aside from the one poor game against the Giants, he pitched brilliantly. His last outing against the Marlins came after that poor start and he was able to pitch his best game! But the Mets are not hitting, and may not be capable of doing so, Santana looks even better than he is!

AGE MATTERS

If you look at the oldest teams in Major League Baseball the average player’s age is 30 for the; New York Mets, Colorado Rockies, Los Angeles Dodgers and Angels and the Philadelphia Phillies, and the oldest average team… the New York Yankees at 31!

The average age in the majors is 28. The youngest? The Kansas City Royals and Houston Astros at 27.

FIT TO BE TIED

The NY Rangers and Ottawa Senators are now tied 3 games apiece for the preliminary round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. One of the best with the Rangers against the last to qualify for the playoffs in Ottawa, both teams have not only won 3 games each, but both have scored 12 goals apiece!

There is a lot on the line for the Rangers after a great season.

That’s all I wrote, folks!
