SOME BAD, BUT MOSTLY GOOD
The Dominican Republic won their sixth Caribbean Series title in eight years, beating Puerto Rico by a score of 4-3. Apparently PR went 0-6 in the series, which must be some sort of round-robin deal.
What made me sick was that hack Jose Offerman, who somehow scored three runs and got three hits.
What made me smile a bit was that Raf Soriano had a fairly solid start and got into the eighth.
Should this stoke the fire of Soriano-in-the-rotation speculation? Of course it should. If it's mid-June and Gil Meche goes on the 60-day DL with a shoulder tweak, then there shouldn't even be any speculation, and they sure as hell shouldn't try to sign some hack for a 5th starter, because if they wanted to use a hack 5th starter, they could use Kevin Jarvis. Once again, the vomit will have to be shampooed out of my apartment rug thanks to me typing that last sentence. Thanks a lot, Bavasi.
