Hamlet to Horatio: "There are more Angels fans in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy." (Shakespeare's 450th birthday today)

Wonderful story.

I hope Albert stays far away from that this year.

IIRC, Oakland had nine straight quality starts to open the season. But lately their bullpen has been letting them down. Familiar story.

My backyard is not big enough to accommodate a spaceship. Otherwise, I'd be building it right now.

Oakland's bullpen trouble argues against them running away with the division.

The man is amazing. http://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/04/albert-pujols-facts-500-home-runs-los-angeles-angels-mlb/

Phillies take the lead on a Domonic Brown RBI double.

Dodgers and Phillies tied 2-2 in the 10th. Matt Kemp is batting .196

He should have been patient and waited for the contact-play ground ball.

Seattle batting .224 with a .280 OBP entering tonight's game. Only Houston is worse in the AL.

Can't find that, but here's the home run. Bud Black was the pitcher.

Seattle pitching is pretty decent, but where's the hitting?

Don't ban me, bro!

John Jay is hot right now. Petey will see very limited playing time for the near future.

All kidding aside, the danger is real. One of those big ones hits Orange County, and no more baseball. Or people. A former astronaut is helping to build an infra-red telescope that will hopefully be launched in 2018 to track near-Earth asteroids by looking at their heat signatures. The project is privately funded and still needs a lot of money to complete. They figure to map 20,000 asteroids in the first year. http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Former-astronaut-wants-to-save-the-world-from-asteroids-256273781.html

Seattle losing again, but it's only in the 4th inning. They are 4-12 since sweeping us to start the season.

Adam Wainwright left with a knee injury. No word on its severity.

Arizona's pitching...bad. Cubs are leading them 8-1 in the 8th inning. D-Backs are about to go 5-18 on the season.

Jackie Mitchell, 17 years old. Big girl. Struck out Ruth and Gehrig on seven pitches, Ruth looking and Gehrig swinging. Lefty-lefty matchup.

Once Arizona gets some decent pitching, Trumbo should be an asset to them.

There was that teenage girl who struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, but that was during an exhibition game.

More than 18,000 men have played in the majors since 1876. Albert Pujols became only the 26th player to hit 500 home runs. Think about that for a moment...

Wow, I was way off on Albert. I'm getting old...

He hit his 400th there too.
