So what else is new?
The Angels are currently in the process of being one-hit by that perennial Cy Young contender, Erik Bedard.
I'm not trying to be so negative- really, I'm not- but I'm just not seeing anything to suggest that this team can keep up with the likes of Boston and Oakland.
UPDATE: Now that I think about it, the four walks the Angels have drawn off Bedard are something to smile about. That includes two (!) for Darin Erstad. Say it with me: Hoo-Ray!
UPDATE: Vlad crushed a homerun to right field to lead-off the sixth, giving the Angels their second hit and first run. GA followed up with a single. Things are looking up.
UPDATE: The Angels jumped all over BJ Ryan and Jason Grimsley, and now lead 4-1 in the top of the eighth.
Mike Scioscia just made a horrible move. He's removed Robb Quinlan for a defensive replacement (Amezaga). Quinlan was set to lead-off the bottom of the inning, needing a hit to keep his 21-game hitting streak alive. So not only does Scioscia prematurly end Quinlan's hitting streak (the most exciting thing happening to this team at the moment), but he puts the weak-hitting Amezaga in the lead-off spot. Bad, bad, bad.
UPDATE: Angels win 4-2. Escobar has another strong outing (7 IP, 1 ER, 7 SO), and Percival just manages to close it out.
