I think he actually did damn good last night. He gave up a single and the runner moved on two ground balls. Nothing really hard hit. Then the final out was a lazy fly. It's not like he got ripped for a triple or anything.

Not one game in particular. Fastball isnt moving as much and he has no second pitch. Teams look to be sitting on the fastball.

That's ok we have Mike Adams to solve that problem.

Damn tough loss last night, especially for Adams.
I hate to say it, but I was wondering if Trumbo was going to get a hold of one in that AB.

I guess Adams was sleeping when Trumbo almost gave Lewis a heart attack but lucky for us it was a foul ball. Screw it 9 out of 10 isn't to bad.

IJS. Winning three of four in LA is huge. Six game lead is a nice cushion to have. It's not over, but it's a closer.

True.^^
And let's hope Wash doesn't put Feldman back in to pitch. The dude is a cluster**** waiting to happen. I hope they find someone to trade him for in the off season. It was stupid offering him the money they did a couple of years ago.
Sorry, I'm on a real anti-Feldman kick this year. He's a waste of roster space.

Ya I'm not a huge fan either. He did really well one year and then they over payed. At least it's not really hampering them in any way.

Pretty dominant in the win last night. CJ looking good. Napoli looking good. You knew it was just a matter of time before somebody got a hold of Bedard. The tossing curve ball after curve ball, taking his sweet ass time, and then tried to mix in a very unsuccessful fastball and got blasted.

Agreed on both. I'm thinking of taking my two year old baseball nut daughter out tonight.

My daughter won't be 2 until October and we've been contemplating taking her. Have you taken yours before? She handle it pretty well? I know for sure we plan on taking her to some games in the Spring just not sure about this season.

We took her to her first game in August 2010 and she was all over the place and just wanted to look at stuff. She was about a year and a half and my wife and I traded every half inning taking her somewhere. We stayed for an hour and a half or so and that was about all she could take. She wasn't fussy or anything, just a typical toddler and wanted to look at everything.
We also took her about a month ago to dollar hot dog night against the Twins and explained to her she needed to sit down and we weren't going to get up and down with her all night. For the most part she was really good and stayed seated and we got to halfway watch the game this time. We had to make a few trips to the bathroom, which were probably more a case of her wanting to get up than anything else.
We just let her know up front what our expectations are.

Anyone think Anaheim's going to pull one out tonight? Or do we get treated to the Texas Rangers that can simply bumrush and demolish anyone in their way?

If anybody pulls one out I think it will be the Rangers. They have struggled against Weaver this year. His first time pitching on three days rest though.
Angels need this win more than the Rangers though. Rangers took a lot of pressure off by winning the first game. At that point they can not get passed over the weekend.

It was a good one. 2 out of 3 the rest of the year will win it all. But let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Nelly is probably out for a few weeks. I love him, but he drives me crazy with how injury prone he is. He's worse than Hamilton. At least Hamilton messes stuff up by running and diving at full speed. Nelly manages to tweak his hammy slowing down and then speeding up again. I guess we'll probably see a lot of Endy Chavez in CF and I image Murph in RF for a while.

I honestly think it's because his quad isn't ready. They may as well give him off until the last couple weeks if they can. Let him fully rest.
