That was some serious hustle by Trout...didnt think he'd get to third, but he really runs well. How many of the hits today against Grienke have been XBH?

Grienke is getting smacked around like a red-headed step child...and that's always nice to see.

You sat in the bleachers and drink Old Style? Been there hundreds of times to see Cards v. Cubs games...when they play each other at Wrigley in the summer...its always a good time. I hate Wrigley, mostly because I detest most Cubs fans...but, they are the lovable losers.

After the hit to Grinke, CJ really pitched well. The pitch series to Punto and Kemp was very good...good placement..good location. Kemp has looked awful at the plate all season.

Have you ever been to Wrigley?

Team seems to be hitting well w/ RISP lately...nice to see.

Nice..good to see AP go opposite field.

That was AP's pitch there...damn broken bat.

I know they certainly play it when Gonzalez is up...but, seeing the fan base of the Doyers...is it really a surprise.

I understand the disdain..it is the same disdain I have for the Cubs..their fans...Wrigley Latrine...and well, all things Cubs. I only say this as more from an outside perspective.

What can I say...I'm old.

That pitch was belt-high mid-plate...not the best placement, CJ. Buckle down...

How can you not appreciate Vin Scully...is that really so surprising? I'm a Cards fan through and through...how could you not be?

Looked like Punto got him on the shoulder with his spike when he jumped...he'll be fine. No worries.

True...let's not forget...I am also an Angels fan. Gotta have an AL team....

No...I hate the Dodgers (I do like Vin Scully). I just happen to like their announcer and stadium...that's about it, though. Sweet slide by CJ...very nice and agressive.

Bad News Dodgers...good bunt by CJ, though.

What? That is some seriously poor syntax there, Mudville. And...I'm the biggest AP homer on the board.

You're kidding, right? There arent two better announcers in the history of the game than those two (my apologies to Harry Carey)...Angels announcers not even in the same league.

Is it wrong of me to like Chavez Ravine more than Angels Stadium?

AP looked, well, terrible...hobbling to get that pop-up is being polite. He needs a walker.

Grienke has nothing today...his fb isnt fooling anyone. Punto has been the best player on the Dodgers this season...both in the field and at the dish (along with AG). And, if that doesnt tell you all you need to know about the 2013 Dodgers...nothing will.

I believe when I die and go to heaven, all announcements will be made by either Vin Scully or Jack Buck. I could listen to either all day...just the best. Well...certainly a good start.

Please tell me you dont actually believe he didnt give a shit before the win streak...really? I cant believe any intelligent person would think this.

Having watched the Dodgers-Cardinals series this weekend, here are some of the conclusions I have drawn about the Dodgers.. 1. They are not a fairly decent hitting team and a really shitty hitting team...get past Crawford, Punto (yeah, I didnt quite believe it either) and Gonzalez to Kemp, Either, Gordon and Ellis and things should go well. 2. Dodger starting pitching is also fairly decent...be patient and get to their pen. They were used quite a bit in the series against the Cards, so if the Angels can get to them early and often, that will likely be the difference. I dont think a sweep is realistic, but 3 out of 4 sure is.
