For the first time ever, I will be dual blogging the Yanks-Braves and Mets-Cardinals games. For those who are unsure how the format will be, I will post thoughts on both games in the same update. The only changes to this will be if something is happening in just one of the games. Either way, I will have my thoughts on what is going on in each game.
Here are some big storylines for each game...
Yanks-Braves:
1) Can Chien-Ming Wang regain his dominating form? If he doesn't have a solid start tonight, it seems like Phil Hughes will take his spot in the rotation. Wang's been improving as of late, but he needs to have a quality start at worst to stay in the rotation.
2) Will the Yankees break out of their offensive funk? It's been the same old story over and over again. The Yankees have struggled against pitchers they haven't faced before. They haven't been able to make young starters pay with their strong line-up.
Mets-Cardinals:
1) Can the Mets stay strong without Beltran? Losing him is a big, big loss in the middle of their line-up. There's no way anyone will fill that spot in the line-up, but the win last night was encouraging. It'll be interesting to see if they can keep winning.
2) How will Fernando Martinez do back in the line-up and in centerfield? First time in the middle outfield position for the youngster, and it should be interesting to see how he does if he gets balls hit to him. Also, can he be better offensively the second time around in the majors?
Live-blogging will get underway once the games start. Enjoy both contests here on a Tuesday night, in what is now officially, summer!
