Woohoo Trumbo! Another one for the near minimum pay guys!

Wow Hamilton has really adjusted to being an Angel, swing at 2 piece of crap pitches, then watch one down the middle for strike three.

Wow Hamilton looked really bad on those swings.

The Angels have won one more game that I expected against Boston.

Never seen a 2 base wild pitch before.

You've got three options:

 

1) Ortiz is juiced, therefore a complete moron given the likelihood of getting caught these days (possible but unlikely)

2) Ortiz is juiced and secretly wants to be sent home and gain notoriety (very unlikely, otherwise he'd just retire)

3) Ortiz is a damn good hitter

 

I tend to believe the third option. As some have pointed out, while uncommon it isn't unheard for great players to remain great, or have great seasons, in their late 30s. During the height of "Bondsgate" I used to mention that Hank Aaron had his highest 5-year HR streak from age 35-39, just like Bonds.

 

As for Pujols, I personally think - and have thought, but haven't wanted to admit it - that he's actually a few years older than his list age, maybe 35 or 36. It will be interesting to see how he finishes out this year and starts next, because if he continues to have a poor year and starts slow next year I think the fit is really going to hit the shan for Pujols. We all knew this contract would get ugly, but most of us thought in the second half - but it has looked bad from day one of last year. What a travesty.

There could be a fourth option - the league knows about it and looks the other way. Has a Boston player been suspended for steroids yet? I know there has been accusations that the whole team was juicing atone point.

Hey that is on the bing card! High five for a productive out.

Quit talking to this stiff, talk about the game!

Wow saw that coming. Couldn't get out a .203 hitter.

Hmm. Nice stat. Gomes - sucks for the season, hits a towering double against the Angels.

Not bad? With Bucholz pitching? It's not a good situation .

Trying to be optimistic.

Wow. Not two bad. Only 2 - 0

So all of our bullpen arms pitched tonight.  Wonderful management there.

You know in little league, all kids must play.

What a strange wife you have. She scores a gift card and tells you about it? Mine would have come home smelling like bourbon street steak.

Needs more misspelled words. Nicely done though.

With as thin as the Angels pitching is right now, this guy needs to be here long term.

Well back to playing XBOX!! G'night all!

Wow. That was short lived..

Butcher messed with him, telling him to do this and that. He lost his aggressiveness and confidence from that point on.

He'll be ok.

I understand it was a bad call, but why wold you be rounding second on a fly ball to right? A catchable fly ball???

WTF??

Ianetta workin it!

Crap. I was just thinking this was the first real trouble Coello has had so far this year.

Looks like he lost is release point.

I love how Dodger fans have to be reminded to cheer. It's been so long since I've been to the Latrine, I forgot about that.
