Another person teams were looking at in Garrett Richards had to be taken out of the game while pitching to Nelson Cruz.

That might be a bit of a stretch.

Aren’t the angels still competitive?

Other good news

JA happ of the blow jays has pitched 2 really crappy starts in a row.

They are 5 games behind Oakland going into tonight for the last WC spot so they are but there was talk he might be available. It is surprising they are just 1 game over .500 but Scioscia's teams seem to play below their potential.

I saw that wrong. They are actually 11 games behind Seattle for the last spot. Seattle and NY currently hold the 2 WC spots. So that may be why he was available.

Another good reason to root for a Red Sox win tomorrow is the more distance the Red Sox put between the Yankees and themselves, the more desperate the Yankees might get in a few weeks.

The Indians have the worst BP ERA in the AL. I was looking to see what they have in the minors that we could trade for. Here is a link that makes it easy to see info about each player.

Looks like patience wearing thin on Gallo especially with 2 strike approach. Did well yesterday but a trip to minors possible as other players need to be seen this year

I was about to blow a gasket on his AB that he hit a double. Two guys on and first 2 pitches were balls. Then he swung and missed on a pitch high out of the zone and then on one low and out of the zone. Fortunately he was given a pitch he could hit and I will give him credit he hit it. But his approach overall on that AB was not a good one.

And they could Choo as well. Hopefully there can be a fit
That would be interesting with him going back to the Indians. He is playing some of his best ball for us right now.

I also don't expect Choo to pinch hit while the streak is alive.

I can't imagine Banister taking this into consideration. He's always talking about 'never give up' and playing to win every time out.

I can see where you are coming from on this but he might if it meant raising Choo's interest from some teams. It could be coming from a higher authority if you know what I mean.

Banny isn't going to hold Choo back in a PH situation for this streak. And one PH appearance is not going to make or break Choo's trade value. Front offices don't work like that.
