Shades of Billy Martin and Earl Weaver this week from the oh, 30 Cuban national team coaches. A game against Canada’s Rockland Boulders was canceled after an overturned call led to chest bumping, dirt kicking and threatening language that may or may not have been understood. Outnumbered umpires got the message though. Headed for the exits only to be followed until security escorted them off. Ahh, warms the heart doesn’t it? All we get now is Girardi and Collins pointing to the instant replay camera.
Ohh Canada! We went north of the border Saturday and got dirt kicked on us as well. Francisco Liriano (five runs in six innings) was no match for Chris Sale (donuts through seven innings) and the Bosox chased the Toronto faithful to the exits with a 7-1 victory. Loss dropped us to 1,701 durochers.
Played the home dog and we’ll try again in the Sunday nighter. Cards’ Carlos Martinez goes against Mighty Max Scherzer. Plenty of Ks expected from both sides of the mound. 20 units on St Louis.
