1) Lackey makes the Yankees look very, very bad tonight. Wang pitches well enough but not great, giving up 4 over 6 innings, and Torre tosses a giant can of kerosene on the mound named Al Leiter. ARod hits a titanic and meaningless solo shot in the 9th. Giambi/Tino/Bernie combine for 7 Ks. Final score: 8-3 Angels.
side note: Joe Buck uses/abuses the phrase "Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim" approximately 57 times tonight, infuriating me enough to warrant 3 separate hits from the mute bong. Seriously... he constantly refers to them using their full moniker, and smirking about it. Meanwhile, he almost always refers to Los New York Jankees of da Bronx as simply, "The Yankees". There's some Pele/Ronaldo hero worship shit going on here, and, frankly, it stinks worse than a Tim McCarver salient point. Just call the teams by their names! They're the Angels. If a viewer can't figure out that they're from LA/Anaheim/Mars, so be it.
2) The New York Rangers of Lower Manhattan will lead the league in penalty minutes.
Duh.
They will also lead the league in ejections, goals allowed, goalie time spent on the disabled list, and # of times a guy takes off his skate and tries to stab someone with it.
Oh, and they will try to end Forsberg's career every time they face the Flyers, leading to a full-scale brawl that makes us all "put things into perspective". Memo to the Rangers: see if Artest can skate.
