I know Monday is usually an “And That Happened” day, but it’s also Memorial Day and, based on my reading of the traffic stats from the past couple of big no-work holidays, most of you have other things you’d rather do than read blog posts at 6:30 in the morning. So let us just get to the scores and give those of you who don’t have other things you’d rather do get right to the comments section in which you lament/cheer your team in far more detailed terms than I do up here. Cool? Cool.
Dodgers 6, Phillies 0: OK, I will chime in for this one, if for no other reason than to tip my cap at Josh Beckett for one of the rarest accomplishments in all of baseball: making a Josh Beckett-pitched game last only two hours and thirty-seven minutes. I mean, heck, there are a couple three no-hitters every year. The real rarity here is a Beckett game not dragging on to the 3:40 mark or longer.
