Jack Robinson and the other early black MLB players never found the welcome mat out for them in St. Louis. About 100 years ago, civic and business leaders resisted a movement to impose racial segregation in St. Louis. The forces pushing for segregation forced a referendum and it passed in a landslide. The courts threw it out in a couple of years, but the sentiments remain. Things haven't changed all that much in the 'burbs around St. Louis. So those chants are not surprising at all. The chanters may now be a minority, but they are still around. The nation was able to see some of them for weeks on end just a couple of summers ago.

Light it up!!! Hector gets a W.

Nice tap dance through the sixth, Hector. But I sure worried about a multi-player pileup on that pop fly.

Escobar!!! Nice leather!!!

GO ANGELS!!!! Brake the skid, gentlemen.

Go Hector!! Be THE stopper!

Go bullpen!! Keep the ball down.

Would somebody please locate the real Mike Trout and tell him to get to Chicago ASAP?

Oh, almost forgot. 4 for 4 today would get Cron all the way to .181. Go Cron! You can do it.

Walkoff sweep for the Twinkies. What a revoltin' development this turned out to be!

Cron appears to have used his brain that time and Simmons suggested he may have a twilight at first in his 30s.

2-2 in the 12th. It ain't the pitchers' fault today. Salas did his job for at least 2 innings.

Salas gets the 11th. At the risk of sounding repetitive, I hope there's a 12th.

We head to the 11th!!! Had my doubts for a moment there.

Salas gets the 10th. Hope there will be an 11th.

SECOND CRON!!!! USE YOUR BRAIN!!!

Oh, Joe. Gotta keep them OFF the board. Rally time for the hitters. Go Cron! (Please?)

Ortega saves the lead!! No thanks to Morin.

GO ANGELS!!! Go Nick Tropeano!!!

Avert the Sweep!!!

Come on, Trout. Wake up that bat (.231). Ditto Albert (.195).

Show some progress, Cron. You've doubled your hits total (now 4) in the past 3 games. .111 today, maybe .150 by Tuesday.

Plan A for left field is now suspended until further notice. On to Plan B.

GO ANGELS!!! Go Weaver!!

Keep the Twins off-balance! Start a new winning streak.

No fantasy W points for Richards tonight. ​Bullpen flops in the seventh.

I hate the online video delay. Online viewers are always the last ones to see good stuff.

KOLE!!! 4-2!!

ALBERT!!! YESSS!!!! 2-2 TIE.

Wheels are wobbling for Richards in the sixth.

Nice stickwork, Yunel!!! 1-0 Angels.

Those gloves sure helped GR in the first. Gentry and Johnny are doing fine right now.

GO ANGELS!!!! Go Garrett Richards!!!

​The Twins are down. Keep on kicking them!

I'll root for the Twins to win a game or two after Sunday.
