I hate Comcast. With a passion

So it's a night later, cable is working again, with one small caveat. Only 9 of the 10 MLB Extra Innings channels are currently working. Which one is out, you ask? You guessed it. The one showing the Angels and Indians. Hey, Comcast, why not come over and drink all my beer while you're at it. Cocksuckers.

As of now, Byrd pitched well through the first inning. Tonight's contest will be to see how long the Angels can go until the unofficially lose, also known as when the opponent scores their first run. I'm betting on the third inning. For a sub-contest, let's see how long the Sabathia carries his no hitter. I'm guessing it gets broken up with one out in the seventh.

**UPDATE**

Vlad busts it in the first. Good job, Vlad.

OH! MY! GOD! The Angels actually scored a run! Two, to be exact. GA breathes life into the Angels offense!

5th inning:
I haven't seen Garret Anderson hustle all season. It just cost them at least one base. Hopefully it won't cost them a run.

Byrd got out of it. But he's given up two runs, and that's not gonna be good enough with this offense. Prediction: Another quality start, but the Angels still lose 2 to something more than 2.

Bottom 5th:

Prediction fails again. Josh Freaking Paul!!

6th: Byrd flirting with disaster again. You can't keep letting the other team back in it when you aren't going to get many runs. This is a freaking offensive explosion for the Angels, and if they lose this one, they might not win for another week.

Bottom 6: Great dive by Vlad. Which makes me think, God-damn our outfield is slow. They've looked like they were in their fifties tonight. Anderson loafs to ball and turns it into a triple. Vlad looks like he needs a cane half the time. Finley gets thrown out stealing. These aren't things you want to see in your outfield.

Shields, looking good. Again. Man, I love our bullpen, and I'm not afraid to admit it. Wow, a 3-2 curve ball. He's feelin' it. He strikes out the side. Well done.

Hey, is it just me, or is that redhead in the USPS commercial hot (the one where everyone in the office loads her up with boxes, which she eventually uses as cover so that she can eat a sandwich in peace) ? They do the glasses thing, and the overwhelmed look and whatnot to try to make us think that she's average. Sorry, not buyin'. She's hot.

Vlad - 3 for 4. Starting to wake up. Good sign. Then he falls asleep on the basepaths, costing the Angels a run. Bad sign.

Frankie gives up the jack, but does a good job of throwing the breaker for strikes. He gave Sizemore no chance but to swing at strike three. You could really see the difference to Boone and how effective the fastball is when he throws the slider for strikes. Boone could lay off the pitches way off the plate, but when Frankie came back close to the zone, Boone couldn't help it. Strike three. Great play by Cabrera to end the game.
