Small silver lining
It's been a tough night over here - five hours spent at the hospital with my youngest daughter, who is being kept overnight and who will be operated on in the morning for appendicitis - but it's nice to know that not everyone was having a bad-hair day today.
I thought I'd just check the box scores before hitting the sack, and was pleased to see that a whole bunch of 'underdog' teams got wins today. The Tigers beat the Yankees, the Devil Rays beat the Orioles (thanks to a complete game from Mark Hendrickson), Pittsburgh beat Florida (to take their home winning streak to 10 games), the Brewers beat the Cubs and Seattle beat Cleveland.
OK, call me a romantic idealist (after all, it's only 0.617% of the season for the teams concerned), but when they all win on the same day, I go to bed a little happier, knowing that, for once, the 'little man' won out.
