The Empire Strikes Back


It always happens: just when you think you've dealt the Empire a death blow they come right back at you. It's as though the tiny rebel force has been chased throughout the galaxy until they've been forced to take refuge on the ice planet Hoth. And Luke almost dies so he has to be kept underwater in a speedo for a while. That part always unnerved me as a child.

Good sign: Torre is pitching Wang on three days rest for the first time in his career. And we roughed him up pretty badly the first time around. Bad sign: Byrd is taking the mound for the good guys (1-4, 4.82 career ERA against NY). This might just be a shootout of intergalactic proportions. Or at least a baseball game where something like 15 runs are scored.

Now we just need some stunning revelation at the end of this next game. Something that changes everything. Something on the order of ... Joe Torre being Grady Sizemore's father. Just tossing it out there.
