"Ventura resumed pitching. Albert Pujols knocked his fourth pitch into center, and Trout scampered home to score when Lorenzo Cain muffed the pickup."

 

OC Register, if you need a freelance editor to catch stuff like that, I'm available for a small fee.  That's just terrible.

 

Back on topic: Ventura is a dick.

I thought it was more of a skip or sashay.

One might, if one was consulting one's thesaurus, say he gamboled home.

I was wondering the same thing.

 

Glen, bong rips this morning?

"It's just baseball" I like his response. I love the fire on both sides.

I like that Pujols came to Trout's aid very quickly. I also noticed they were engaged in a serious bromance in the dugout the other night during the game. They had their arms around each other during the game.

It still works in that context.

Scampering isn't manly, and Trout is all man. Kids scamper.

Fair enough! 

[ELEVEN]

Not a happy scamper?

CJ Wilson is the biggest douchebag. I love how Joyce says one thing and then CJ completely contradicts him. 

 

We never should have messed with either of these village idiots from Texas. 

[seenoevil]

Ventura don't like white boys

[yk9001]

Look at the size difference!

Can't really see Trout's since his back is facing the camera

It seemed as though he wasn't defending Trout, in a sense, by implying that the trajectory of the line drive was deliberate and that Ventura was somehow justified in saying anything...not okay. Interesting who CJ chooses to defend, or not.

CJ is sounding more and more like someone who doesn't want to be an Angel. Maybe Dipoto should oblige him.
