toronto had the same record as the pale hose last season, 69-93. with another thrashing of the evil fishies, they're undefeated.

the tribe were world champions in 2006. right now, they're 0-2 after yesterday's loss, a fiasco brought upon by four different relievers allowing runs in the last two innings. kansas city closer brian schmack converted his second save in as many days.

in the west, joe blanton pitched six shutout innings to give oakland an improbable win over odalis perez. the two pitchers had a difference of nearly five earned runs allowed per nine innings in 2006. this time, the 4-18, 7.76 guy came out on top, buoyed by a home run hit by the game's second batter -- miguel cairo, a futility infielder in kansas city as recently as last april. either the apocalypse is here...or my perception is becoming too skewed too quickly. things can appear topsy-turvy, but that doesn't mean they are.

we knew this would be a long year in pale hose land. but we're bound to win at least a few games, just as we know that toronto will eventually drift back toward the pack. (sorry, creed)

cleveland is still a fine team, too, if not one particularly likely to become a dynasty. two games shouldn't change that. so let us not let it.
