No Bonghitters game today
Consistent rain in New York over the last week not only wiped out last night's Yankees-Red Sox game. Today, the High Times-Rolling Stone softball match-up was cancelled due to wet field conditions in Central Park. The game will be rescheduled. The Bonghitters' next game is on June 22 vs. DC Comics.Meanwhile, in Los Angles, the Mets took 2 out of 3 from the Dodgers. They open a 4-game series against the Diamondbacks in Phoenix tonight - "El Duque" Hernandez (3-5) vs. Claudio Vargas (6-2), 9:40 pm start on SNY & WFAN.
Last night's 9-7 Met victory saw the Mets jump out to a 4-0 lead in the 1st, only to surrender it in the 2nd. Tom Glavine (9-2), pitching on 3 days reast, allowed 3 HRs (2 to Rafael Furcal), but still managed to get the win. Rookie phenom Lastings Milledge led the offense with a 2-run HR (his 2nd) and a triple. David Wright (.335) and Carlos Beltran (.275) both had 3 hits.
Tonight, the Yankees try to make it 3 in a row against the Bosox, weather permitting - Jared Wright (3-3) vs. Curt Schilling (8-2), 7:05 pm start on YES & WCBS Radio.
