Now that hockey is over I can concentrate on baseball.

Justin Verlander seems to be in a groove again. Pitched an entire game earlier in the week - gave up 6 hits, one walk, and won the game.

Then on Friday, Rick Porcello, our 20 year old pitcher, won his 7th game, and batted 2 - 3, with 2 RBIs.

Don't expect to see them in the World Series, but they are doing better than last year.

And the Red Sox - swept the Yankees - - and have 2 straight against the Phillies.
