Imagine my dismay. After watching the first 4 innings of the Indians game against the Angels last night, my geriatric gene kicked in. The Tribe was up 2-1, but I had already had my Metamucil and glass of warm milk, so it was seriously time for some sleep — dreams about the Greatest Generation and whatnot, you know. So this morning, I checked in on my Tribe. Way to go! We beat the ...

The Angels Need the Sticks to Save Francisco Rodriguez

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 20:05:00 +1900

Before Wednesday’s 14-11 Angels win over the Indians, I asked second baseman Howie Kendrick if, “just between you and me,” of course, the guys with the sticks are in cahoots with Francisco Rodriguez. Maybe a little side deal, wherein he gets a few extra save opps, so when free agency time comes Rodriguez can [...]

Jeff Mathis hit a grand slam and drove in six runs, Casey Kotchman collected five hits and Mathis and Howie Kendrick had four apiece. For the first time in club history, three players had at least four hits in a nine-inning game. And, after the Angels pounded the Cleveland Indians, 14-11, the voices in the clubhouse suggested this offense might be for real. The Angels aren't going to set a ...

Jeff Mathis, Angels Strike Again

Angels 14, Indians 11 (box) These high scoring games are excellent if you’re a fantasy baseball player. This is, of course, assuming that Aaron Laffey wasn’t in your starting lineup. After a stellar start to his 2008 campaign, Laffey has been laughable at best, going 1-3 with an ERA north of eight in his last five...

Angels 3, Indians 2 (box) A quality start by 31-year old Matt Ginter, where the righty allowed seven hits in six innings was all for naught. Granted, one of the hits was a home run by catcher (and .211-hitting) Jeff Mathis. However, the Indians provided two runs of support on seven hits. And that, folks, rarely...

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 00:31:00 +1900

Must have been that pressure-packed one-out save during the 14-11 win the other night...that swayed Gammo. He was an All-Star, could be a record-setter and might even be an MVP? Really? No kidding. There’s a possibility Francisco Rodriguez could be the next MVP of the American League. That’s not our opinion; that’s the opinion of Peter Gammons, a Hall of Fame journalist who knows more ...
