IT'S A MIRACLE!! The Angels have won three in a row!!
The Angels knocked it around in the first inning, got a little help from Olivo and his poor defense behind the plate, and parlayed that into a 3-0 lead which they wouldn't relinquish. The old man of the outfield went deep again, 2nd time in two games and 6th this season, to add a couple of runs to the cushion and Frankie put his jacket back on. Decent work by Shields, giving up only a meaningless run in the bottom of the ninth (and congrats to Shin S00 Choo in his first MLB hit and RBI).
Tex Lackey pitched a pretty solid game, which is (hopefully) becoming a trend for the starters. That's four not-awful starts in a row, and three downright good ones. He almost had his Lackey inning in the fifth (see post below), which was partly Jose's fault. The first runner reached on a strike out/wild pitch. But he got Beltre to look downright McPhersonesque on two straight sliders/curves to end the inning.
Speaking of Dallas, another rough night. 0-4, with two strike outs. Experience, brotha, experience. Just keeping seeing pitches, gaining experience, and getting comfortable at third. Your time will come.
Good night for the Guzzlers, so far. A 1-2-3 ninth with two K's for Mr. Zero netted me some nice points, and if the Dodgers can hang on, it will make a decent/not great start from Jeff Weaver look a hell of a lot better. Burrell went deep in his return to my lineup, and Carlos Lee had a productive night. Blalock is not sucking as much as he did last week, and Jose Uribe is back in the lineup, which is a relief. Of course, he comes back and Chase Utley gets the bench. Whaddya gonna do?
