McPherson starts
I know I said that I needed to take some time off from this team, and I fully intended to follow through on that. But then I flipped in from Monday Night Football (force of habit) and saw that Dallas McPherson is starting at third. Well, now I have to watch.
UPDATE: Franklin just drilled Vlad in the helmet, forcing him out of the game. I don't ever advocate violence, but one of the Mariners better leave this field on a stretcher.
And if Vlad is misses even one game... so help me God... Ryan Franklin... I'm gonna... grrrrrrr!.
UPDATE: Dallas McPherson crushes a double for his first major league hit, setting up an Adam Kennedy sac fly to score the first Angel run in 19 innings. 1-0 Angels in the 3rd.
UPDATE: Angels win 5-2 and are now 2.5 back in the division.
You may all exhale, as Vladimir Guerrero appears to be fine. He was taken to a hospital for tests (which were negative), and was back on the bench by the late innings. Thank the lord.
McPherson was 3 for 3 with a double and walk. McPherson looked very good. He worked the count well in all four of his plate appearances, and he crushed a couple of fastballs. His defense wasn't too shabby either. Very impressive start. Get used to seeing him in the lineup, because Adam Kennedy's knee injury looks rather serious and Chone Figgins is his likely replacement.
