Rundown

Guerrero day-to-day

They're calling it a "jammed shoulder" - the same shoulder he dislocated earlier this season. Though Mike Scioscia drops hints that he may play tonight:
"He's day-to-day; we're not going to play him if there's a risk of injury and [missing] substantial time," Scioscia told the newspaper. "If the lead shoulder is not impacting his swing and he's not at a risk of injury, he'll play."
It goes without saying that any game Vlad doesn't start is an expected Angels loss.

Washburn likely to miss another start

The Angels are still calling it tendinitis. Washburn hasn't ruled himself out, but Scioscia appears to have done that for him.

According to the Times, Mike is considering using the Angels' Friday off day to realign the rotation, skipping Washburn's rookie replacement Joe Saunders. Sounds good to me; we can't afford to start an untested rookie in a pennant chase - especially after he got run off the mound in his last start.

Simers: Angels Won't Admit It, but Collar's Getting Tight

Anyone give a shit what TJ Simers thinks? No? Ok, moving on...

The end of Percy Time?

In the same Register article as above, we learn that Troy Percival will meet with Angels team physician Lew Yocum to get a definitive prognosis on the muscle tear in his right forearm that has caused him to miss the majority of the season. It's likely to be a long road to recovery, which would all but end Percival's career.

And any game he starts is likely to be a loss, too.

Trade Finley for Percival - Troy retires and becomes a bullpen coach.

I was watching the Angels vs the Tigers yesterday (Thursday's game) and I thought of you when the announcers were talking about the mood among the fans and media about the Angels team. I was getting the Detroit feed and these guys were saying that this Angels team in Detroit; it's been 12 years since they had a team with a winning record.

I think that they were trying to tell you guys to "get real".

Left out a bit of that sentence. They were saying that they'd love to have this Angels team in Detroit.
