Lol 

[CaliAngel]

Awesome, just took a run away from Richards.

[Kenny]

Just like last night, the bottom of the order had a little rally, and then Escobar hits a pop fly.

[CaliAngel]

Let's go 1-2-3 Richards, get those bats back to work!

Hey don't you worry about Escobar's bat.

[CaliAngel]

Richards dropping nuts on A's chins.

[Chuck]

Richards looking SHARP in the 2nd inning.

Vintage GR.

[CaliAngel]

Wow struck out the frickin' side Richards is hungry.

[Kenny]

God, I hope GRich gets a full season in.  Not completely for what he does for the Angels, but also because he's just had crap luck.

[CaliAngel]

Does anyone enjoy Kole Calhoun as much as I do?

Hitting hard oppo, the dude reminds me of a buffer Darin Erstad but with the same grit.

[Kenny]

I love Trout's cocky walk and Elvis sneer after he gets struck out.

Maybe his wife

Sharply hit, right to 3rd

[fan_since79]

Wonder what the season record is for 5-3 groundouts...

If anyone can break it, it's Pujols

I wonder if after 15 years of baseball if Albert would actually consider hitting the ball the other way?

You know, to maybe get a base hit or double instead of trying to pull the ball for a homer?

[CaliAngel]

There's no reason to have fielders on the right side of the field with Pujols up at bat.

Nah....

[eligrba4ever]

Trout's gonna blast one next time. Two Ks on 6 pitches? Just warming up.

[HeavenlyHalos]

Cleveland just hit a grand slam in the ninth to take the lead over Texas. lol.

Leave Albert alone!! Don't you know that he's nine home runs short of 600?! Hall of Famer, man!

That's fine and I think you're being a little hyperbolic but the dude needs to learn to help the team, not worry about his own accolades.

Hey I'm pretty stoked that he's going to achieve all of these milestones in an Angels uniform. 

I'm not worried about Albert's groundouts. Those will become line drives and home runs soon enough.

Yeah, I was trying to be funny.

Is there a sarcasm emoticon? I don't remember seeing one.

 

edit: I guess there is one. I'm slipping in my old age.

Albert Pujols doesn't need any lessons in helping the team. He does that all the time.
