Marlins 7; Angels 5

The big number put up by the Marlins really doesn't surprise me. The kid is going to be inconsistent. He struggled with his location today and got knocked around a bit. Shake it off and get ready for your next start.

What bothers me is the anemic offense. Once again, the Angels offense proves to be the cure for what ails a struggling pitcher. I can't remember how many times over the years the Angels have faced someone who has come into the game on an awful streak, only to have him leave looking like Cy Young. It doesn't help when your big RBI guy strikes out on a pitch over his head with two on. This is twice in two series' in which the opponent has been more or lessed forced to start a guy who sucks because they simply didn't have anything better, and the Angels have looked like a Little League team at the plate. Very frustrating.

Dallas in a big slump. 0 for his last 13. Not good. Hopefully it's just a little downturn, and doesn't represent something that the league has picked up on him.

Congratulations to the Maori Man on a fantastically played US Open. What a great birdie on 17 that was. A perfect answer for Tiger's birdie on 18. Tough day for Jason Gore. Would have been nice to see the big guy from Pepperdine make some noise on the last day. And Goosen! Yikes! What happened to that dude? Mr. U.S. Open really threw up all over himself today.
