Nice!

I did them myself. Took a couple minutes. I've been looking for a live update for quite some time.

His earliest to 8 HR since 2006, when he finished with 49 HR and 137 RBI.

All of a sudden we look like a pretty decent team!

Albert is the 3rd youngest player to get to 500 home runs. A-Rod and Jimmie Foxx were younger.

Freese, .386. Ranks 102nd and last in the AL. Pujols .927 after those home runs.

Season OPS now .927

First player in history to hit #499 and #500 in the same game.

Earliest to 8 home runs since his 2006 season. He finished 2006 with a line of .331/.431/.671 with 49 HR and 137 RBI.

Dead last in the AL in OPS, -0.6 WAR

Good for the economy. Lots of weapons producers out there.

There are at least 1 million asteroids out there large enough to destroy an entire metropolitan area. Only about 10,000 of them have been discovered and their orbits studied. http://www.rte.ie/news/2014/0422/610340-asteroids/

Mariners are 4-12 since they swept us to start the season.

What's Troy Glaus up to right now? Seriously. He's 'only' 37 years old.

I hope Scioscia isn't planning to let Freese work through his slump for the next five months, like he did with Finley.

Last two starts: 10.1 IP 17 hits 4 walks 10 ER 2.03 WHIP .340 BAA

But AO's been a fan since 1966. Go pick on him! LOL.

Angels, Angels, stand up and shout! One batter, two batter, three batters out! Ground ball, pop up, weak fly ball. There goes the rally, once and for all!

"You talkin' to me?!"

When Kenny Lofton hit that fastball from Percival, my first thought was "oh no, game-tying 3-run homer". The pitch was just a little too high for Lofton to get it out. What an incredible relief and joy it was to see us win that Series!

I tried to find out the last time a runner scored from first on a Walk, but was not successful. How does one even look up stuff like this?

Yankees are leading the AL East and are 6-3 at home. We've got our work cut out for us there.
