I take back everything I've ever said about inter-league
Vin Scully doing an Angels game. I'm going to enjoy this.
UPDATE: Two-hundred and eighty-three goddamn days... two-hundred and eighty-three days between homeruns for Angels first basemen. I'm actually kind of sad that it's over- it made us special. Short-bus special, but special nonetheless. 8-0 Angels.
UPDATE: Wow- that was brutal. I started to tune in and out after the Kennedy homerun. There's too much stuff to talk about, but here are my disjointed thoughts from tonigt's game:
- The Angels hit four homeruns tonight. They hit just four in the previous nine games combined.
- Washburn still isn't striking anyone out, but he's not letting anyone to get good wood on the ball either. He's allowed just seven hits in his last 15 innings, while striking-out seven. Those balls are going to eventually start falling in again.
- I think we can officially say that AK has broken out of his slump- he's raised his batting average nearly 20 points over the past week and a half. How did he do it? Simple- he leveled his swing out. Did he really need to bring in his old college coach to tell him that?
- You gotta love Lima. He didn't like the ump's strike zone and he let him know. But he wasn't angry about it. He calmly made his case, and went back to work. He even began to argue a call, but then changed his mind and made sure everyone knew he missed on the pitch. He's just a good guy.
- Washburn is hitting .400 this year and .333 over his career. Seriously- can he play first base?
- Who else thought Turnbow had hit that Ventura pitch over the wall? I jumped out of my seat.
- Yard-work for Timmy: Tim Salmon played his first game in the field (and his first ever game in leftfield) since being activated. Good to see.
