Halos/Evil Empire thoughts
That's as crazy as they get folks! 10 innings and 6 1/2 hours. Three blown saves and two rain delays. Too bad it ended the way it did. Here are some thoughts on the Angel's loss to the Evil Empire:
- Someone finally scored on Frankie Rodriguez. In related news, hell has frozen over. That brings his ERA to a still filthy 0.50.
- The Yanks also scored on Kevin Gregg. Ok, screw hell freezing over- I think it just started snowing in Compton!
- Bengie Molina's homer off Rivera surprised everyone, most of all Rivera himself. It appered to be a lazy fly to right, but it kept going and going, over Sheffield's head and over the wall. KCAL got a great shot of Rivera, who had stepped off the mound as if he had just gotten an out, spinning around when he heard the crowd groan in agony. He very clearly mouthed the words "What the f**k?" Not out of frustration, but as if to say, "What happened? I wasn't paying attention."
- What was going through DaVannon's head when he jumped for Sheffield's liner in the bottom of the tenth? He had no chance of catching it, and if he had played it off the wall he would have easily held A-Rod at third. Instead the ball ricochets off the wall and by him, allowing the winning run to score. Good thinking there Jeff! Way to keep your head in the game!
- Casey Kotchman got his first big-league knock today. That means he's just 2,999 away from 3,000 hits.
- Percy looked a little too amped-up tonight. He was flying wide open and was missing everything up-and-away. I know Troy hates it, but tonight would have been a good time for a mound visit from Buddy Black.
