 Johnny G raising his value!

[daygloman]

Go Halos!

Made it through 5 at 119 pitches...come on Scioscia just one more inning

[Skankhunt42]

I love watching Pujols run. So much effort to go so slow.

Hector's in line for the W -- if Salas and the rest can hold the lead. Salas unscored upon in 7 of his past 8 appearances.

Salas with a 2-run lead = nervous time.

7 walks tonight too? This team sucks so bad.

The only pitcher ever to need 119 pitches or more to get 15 outs for the Angels was Mark Langston, who did it twice (126 pitches in 1992 and 120 pitches in 1996).

If he had come out after four, he would have become only the seventh Angels pitcher to need 100 or more pitchers to get through four innings. I'm sure it will surprise nobody to find out CJ Wilson has a joint share of the Angel record for most pitches needed to get through four innings.

Smith comes in to try and get the third out of the sixth and hold it to 4-2.

Is the analyst in the NESN booth with the wavy blond hair Steve Lyons? He doesn't match any of the faces on the Boston broadcast roster page.

[eligrba4ever]

Nice job, Joe!!! Still 4-2.

[daygloman]

Oh HELL yeah!!!

The lead intact!!!

[fan_since79]

Smith's value just went up a notch.

Alarmingly, it's not even the first time this season we've walked seven or more in consecutive games. We did it June 4 and 5 against the Pirates too.

Escobar increasing his trade value!  Simmons continues to prove the haters here wrong. It's awesome.

[daygloman]

Bandy!

5-2 Halos!

[Lou]

lol nice throw, Nancy

[eligrba4ever]

Nice RBI double, Jett-Man. 5-2.
