April 2013 lets talk more often about the games!
Losing the perfect game with only one out to go must have been painful. Although not as painful as Gallaraga's a few years back (where the umpire blew the call). That Astros team is horrible, btw. I could see them losing over 110 games this year.
The Angels have been surprisingly bad so far this season (2-8) and were shut out by the Astros, of all teams, last night. As an A's fan I'm fine with that, but surprised. I don't expect this to continue, but I wonder if they're really as good as a lot of people thought they were.
The Mets snowed out three times this past week - is that a record or what for baseball? The series against the Rockies was tough - their pitching staff got roughed up a bit. Gee got tagged yesterday, and the bullpen blew it today. It's still early in the season, we'll see how they progress (which they hopefully will do).
I didn't get the chance to catch the Mets-Pirates on Sunday, but caught the highlights. Harvey pitched a pretty good game but still got bested by the Pirates. Doesn't help that the Mets offense is not consistent. Still loved that diving catch by Juan Lagares - a rookie with a promising future. That was a definite candidate for play of the week. Glad to see the Bucs playing better ball after nearly 20 years of futility. I like the Mets, but they are still in the rebuiliding phase - especially with their pitching staff. Definitley their weekest spot this year.
