Perez in the house! Earn your spot back!!!!!!

GO ANGELS!!! Go Jered Weaver!!

The winning streak is dead. Long live the next winning streak -- which begins today.

Yes, I realize 538 has downgraded the chances of an Angels postseason from a soaring 2 percent back down to 1 percent. And the Angels' chances of winning tonight were dropped to 40 percent tonight and 39 percent on Sunday. But who gives a hoot about pragmatism? The Halos need to not lose more ground to the third-place Mariners this weekend.

Welcome back, Carlos! I hope you repaired your batting eye during your 7 games with the Bees. The numbers say you might have, but it's just 31 ABs.

Skaggs likes throwing to Perez and I have a feeling Skaggs pitches Tuesday.

Weaver struggles a bit on the road

[beatlesrule]

Weaver needs to be pulled right now.

Historically, that's true--but believe it or not, this year, he's been better on the road than at home.  (Though his numbers on the road this year still suck--so I guess you're still right! )

[fan_since79]

Jered's a little shaky.

Needs to bear down.

 

[beatlesrule]

Another boneheaded Escobar moment.

[Waybackman]

Sweep and be swept.

[jsnpritchett]

Why is Weaver still in the game?

Shut up moron. Scioscia knows best.  He is a God amongst managers.  Get out of here with that BS.

[Oz27]

Why there are some people here who even entertain bringing Weaver back next year as a possibility is beyond me. This is hard to watch.

[mulwin444]

Astros are in their heads...

[kevinb]

Let's win this and next game 

[The God of Runs]

All we need is a couple of grand slams and we're back in this

[daygloman]

RBI for Simmons.

7-2.

[fan_since79]

Terry Smith is trying to sound excited on scoring that run.

7-2 now.
