This picture is the last time Garret Anderson was seen to smile.  (Note: he's not smiling).

This is so weird. I'm actually starting to get this feeling Trout gets shut down for the year or they discover he needs some surgery or something.

You'd never know the difference if Anderson won a world series or someone shit in his cereal. The guy was adverse to emotion.

I dont get why they are calling it a rib injury. It has to be ligament related. Cortisone reduces inflamation in joints or ligaments so i wonder if this is a larger problem.

Junk is NASTY so far. 3 IP, 0 ER, 6 K's.

He's going to get shut down for the year, they're just dragging their feet in waiting to announce it. 

From the article in the other thread, doesn't sound like surgery will even be a permanent solution.

lol the Royal right fielder just faced it directly into the right field chain link fence. 

Marsh: a base hit with a RISP, 2-0 Halos in the 5th.

Stefanic makes me want to take chronic

One team's junk is another team's ace.

I always loved him for that. 

If I recall he smiled a couple times after winning the ring and was going around the ballpark.

Marsh!  Lead off triple down the right field line.

2-3 today, glad to see it. 

He seems like he should be able to put that bat together, I really don't think what we've seen is the batter he really is. 

With his speed and defense it would be great if he could lower those strikeouts and hit .270 for us.

I'd take 12-15 HR, 20 SB and a .360 OBP from him if he's hitting .250. HIs defense is so valuable, especially with an aging can't stay on the field Mike Trout.

KC fans says their bats are just terrible that last 2 days swing at balls out of the zone.

Isn't that what pitchers supposed to do, get hitters to swing at non-strikes?

[CaliAngel]

lol that lob by the KC pitcher was like 25 feet over the first basemans head...

and they finally pitch to Ohtani for an immediate RBI base hit!

4-0 Angels bottom 7!!!

Jason Freakin Junk went 5 innings of shutout baseball with 8 damn strikeouts. 2 more shutout innings from Wantz and Loup with 3 more strikeouts. What alternative reality did the Angels wormhole this game from?
