Angels beat up on some soft teams during their win streak, but now Seattle is in town and fighting for their playoff life. It should be an interesting four-game series. I boldly predict a split.

Womp womp. Nobody cares, Mitt.

Richards is going to be out 6 to 9 months. Detroit better lock up Price. Both Lester and Scherzer are hitting free agency, now NYY will have to compete with Anaheim too. *edit Angels trade PTBNL or cash for White Sox 2B Gordon Beckham. Speaking of Anaheim, their pitching staff was ranked #16. With ...

Am still very pleased that Cashman and the Yankees did not sign Hamilton when they had a chance. Can't trust an addict. Mired in a season-long slump, Los Angeles Angels slugging outfielder Josh Hamilton took himself out of Sunday's lineup against the Texas Rangers for a mental break. "Yeah, I ...

Just an aside, my experience with the DMV is always good because I make an appointment for everything or do it online. Waiting in line is for suckers and libertarians - gives them something to complain about.

Is there any team that hasn't lost at least one pitcher to TJ surgery this year?

Man, losing Skaggs sucks. He was just coming around and now, bam. Here's the Angels rotation going forward: Weaver - mediocre at best now Richards - potential ace Wilson - fuck me, he's our #3 Santiago - potential to be a good #3 type Shoemaker - streaky, but should be good for a .500 record and aro...

Fucking LaRussa is inducted into the HOF this weekend. What a joke. Would he even be there without his players abusing PED's for all those years? Why does MLB prevent the players from getting into the HOF but allow the manager's??? Oh yeah, because the manager's never saw anything? The manager's ne...

Why is there no white history month?

The MFY acquire 3B Chase Headley from the Padres for Solarte, prospect De Paula and 1m. Headley is always on trade block it seems so it finally happened. I used to see Chase when he was a AAA player and I was never too impressed. Maybe he would have made an impact in a different organization, but t...

The rumors are in full force right now ( the Mariners/David Price/Ben Zobrist, etc. ). Anyways it was just stated the Braves are going to cut ties ( DFA? ) Dan Uggla. Uggla is still owed 15m through 2015. Didn't see that coming when ATL picked him up. CC Sabathia to have surgery, out for season. As...

But it still matters if Hillary called it a terrorist attack or not!

Pujols was thrown out at 2B as he walked to the base trying for a double. No slide, nothing. He was still hitting at his next turn in the lineup, and after the game he said he has a swollen lymph gland in his groin. And yet, he still played. I fucking hate him. Worst contract ever. If he can't run o...

Mike Scioscia continues to show baseball dotage by insisting on inserting Raul Ibanez and his .157 average (and a whopping .523 OPS) over rookie CJ Cron (.275, .763) who hasn't started in a week. Some of the blame goes to GM Jerry Dipoto, who evidently refuses to DFA Ibanez. Scioscia has also had ho...

He'll be back on the train again soon.

To me, that is the most incredible stat about him. That's just amazing.

Tony Gwynn dead at 54. Wow. Totally caught off guard by this one.

There were VA health care delays in 2008. Obama was warned about them when he got into office. It was a poorly worded sentence in that screen headline. It's now been at least 6 years since they started (most likely much longer) and at least 5 since he knew. He's done nothing. He has been responsibl...

Just in case anybody was getting close to taking the title away from them, Boston took steps to ensure they remained the biggest douchebags in baseball:

America didn't exist before 2008.

That said, while most of this was building up well prior to Obama taking office it's his mess now. He needs to step up and figure out how to fix it. That's why he's in office.

Dick Cheney is a detestable human being.

A week or so ago the Angels beat the Yankees because of three runs walked in, in the bottom of the eighth.

Conservatives seem to be more than willing to accept (and actually ignore, since they were fairly damning of the administration) the results from the only investigations into 9/11 and Iraq but damn, six investigations (or however many there have already been) into Benghazi aren't enough. Why is that...

Sweet fuckin' Jesus.... When this much Congressional effort is made to get to the bottom of the Yellow Cake lies that led us to war, then you all will have the right to be huffy about this. It is a manufactured scandal riding up the back of a tragedy aimed squarely at HRC. So how about those altere...

Obviously, the Obama administration made mistakes with Benghazi. That said, I wish the republicans had examined the Bush administration mistakes in Iraq (which led to the deaths of 4,000+ Americans) with at least half as much fervor as they are showing for Benghazi. I guess it's just a coincidence t...

Bryce Harper out until early July with ( torn? ) thumb ligament. May require surgery.

Same thing that happened to Hamilton.

I didn't see anything confirming the latter part, about the players becoming free agents. Got a source for that?
