The Pittsburgh Penguins started their Stanley Cup Finals series on the road in Detroit last night,And from player introductions it could have been an omen.Skating onto the ice with his team behind him,Goalie Marc-Andre Fleury slipped and fell onto the ice coming out of the tunnel.Chalk it up to the fact that yes, This version of the Penguins is uncharted territory,But they have been since they won their 2ND playoff game this season,10 games ago.Mikael Samuelsson had 2 goals for the Red Wings,Also scoring for Detroit Dan Cleary,AndHenrik Zetterberg.As you have guessed,Final score 4-0 Red Wings.Same 2 teams go at it Monday night at Joe Louis Arena,Puck drops at 8pm. It took 14 innings,But the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Chicago Cubs 5-4 at Pnc Park.Jason Bay went 4 for 6,With 3 rbi's and looks to be rebounding from that very bad start of the season,His average is now 287,And has hit 12 home runs,10 of those at Pnc.John Grabow,And Matt CAPPS each pitched 3 innings of relief,Not too often your closer pitches 3,And doesn't get the save or a win.Tyler Yates,Who had given up 3 Chicago runs in the 8Th inning was charged with the blown save,Way to go Tyler!First Pitch against the Cubs is 1:35 pm Today at Pnc.Going to Frederick to see the Keys take on the Myrtle Beach Pelicans at Harry Grove.Looks like a great day for baseball(Photo Credits:Dave CoolGay-Mondesishouse.com) (AP Photo/John Heller)
