A quiet first

The Rays got their first two batters on when Elliot Johnson bat out an infield hit and Carl Crawford reached on a catcher’s interference. But Carlos Pena bounced into a 3-6-1 double play, though it looked from up here in the press box that Pena beat the throw.

“The old spring training 361,” said Mark Didtler of the AP, who is sitting to my left, and I can’t argue with that.

Bobby Abreu touched Andy Sonnanstine for a ground rule double to left-center, but that was it as far as Yankee excitement in the first.

No score after one.

How about those San Diego Toreros?

And those Hilltoppers of Western Kentucky?

Love the tourney. Hate my bracket.
