Hurricane Irene is expected to unleash her wrath on the East Coast this weekend. Because the storm’s path looks as though it will follow the I-95 corridor, the Phillies-Marlins game on Sunday has been preponed. There will be a day/night double header on Saturday at CBP, weather permitting.
It’s no mystery why my Facebook feed has gone from earthquake frenzy to hurricane madness. Funny that the Yankees’ 22-9 victory over Oakland didn’t come up in conversation at all today. (Phillies were the last team to score 22 runs in one game, in 2009.) Martin, Cano and Granderson each hit a grand slam in the Bronx today – an MLB record – and no one seems to have noticed. Why is that? Just recently, my Facebook was flooded with Jim Thome excitement – just seconds after he hit his 600th home run. (I am certain that I am friends with just one Twins fan, by the way.) Well, why no talk of the Yankees today?
Oh, right. Because nobody cares.
Remember the Sports Illustrated cover last month, featuring a larger-than-life Carlos Ruiz? It was released a few days after Derek Jeter’s 3,000th hit. If you squint, you can see a tiny mention of DJ in the upper left corner. It still makes me laugh …
