Angels 8, Chi Sox 9
I know I said we didn't "really need a win" today, but goddamn- what a horrible way to lose a ball game. The bullpen continues it's rapid decent into mediocrity (led by the suddenly impotent Francisco Rodriguez) and Aaron Sele has officially lost "it" (it being the ability to get outs). Arm fatigue my ass- he just can't find the strike zone. What do you suppose the over/under is on Sele's starts before Scioscia realizes Ortiz needs to be back in the rotation?
So now it's on to Toronto with this crushing, demoralizing, emasculating defeat fresh on our minds. Once again, the most important series of the season. Two of three. Blah, blah, blah. The pitching match-ups don't bode well for us (Bartoilet vs. Halladay, Escobar vs. the SkyDome's turf, and Lackey vs. Bautista), so Scioscia is going to have to pull at least one out of his hat. There is good news however; there's no way that things can go as badly as the last time we went to Canada. Right?
