Gone East

Last Place!

Early this morning the NY Yankees and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays kicked off the 2004 baseball season with a game in Tokyo Japan. The game was at 7pm local time, which was 5am Boston time.

Tampa Bay is what you call a "rebuilding team". They have a good manager, but even he admits that it will take time. Here's how weak they are: this spring this manager make the reckless declaration that he thinks that this season they won't finish in last place.

Well, they beat the Yankees this morning! 8-3.

A-Rod was 1 for 4 including TWO strikeouts, and Jeter was zero for 5!

So note this day. They Devil Rays are in first place, the Red Sox are tied for second, and the Yankees are in last place. Get used to it Georgie!
