So why isn't Mr. Milestone playing? 

By sitting, Albert makes life a bit easier on Mike's hammy. They are apparently takkng no chances on Mike letting loose on a sprinting, diving or sliding catch.

Where did you hear that? Is that true or are you just speculating?

[Stradling]

How's does Meyer look?  

[gurn67]

Watching Mike Trout play for this current Angels' squad reminds me of Kelly Leak playing for the Bears except the Bears won most of their games.

Keeping them in the game. Graeterol just picked off a runner caught in no man's land. Our catching gas improved dramatically over last season. 

[Stradling]

I love Mike Trout, by far the best player ever to wear this uniform.  That being said all the poor Mike having to play with this group of players is just stupid.  Mike will be perfectly fine, playing for the Angels, even if they don't win a championship.  Lots of great players, especially in baseball, never win it all.  At least he is appreciated and incredibly wealthy.

Control ok?  Poise?

[Blarg]

I frigging hate that puss Verlander. Trout hits a home run and he runs two in on his elbow until he hits him. 

[Blarg]

Props to Trout for stealing second. 

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Meyer actually looks pretty good today.

I DID say "apparently."  The rest of the lineup appears to point in that direction, as well as to Escobar's unavailability.

Nice shot Espinosa

Ted Williams played an entire career that way. He became wealthy because of Sears, Roebuck & Co.

Nice Mother's Day present Danny

[OregonLAA]

There's just no chance some of these guys hit this poorly all year. They will pick it up. The backup pitchers have overachieved but if they can keep doing it we will contend. I fully believe that

[eligrba4ever]

Oh Danny-boy!!! 0-for-36 is ancient history.

[totdprods]

Big start for Meyer today as Smith is back to AAA and Eppler is no doubt scouting available arms. Hope he keeps this up.

[eligrba4ever]

A suicide squeeze by the White Sox turned into what has to be a sac fly to the catcher against the Padres. That advanced the other runner to second. It is difficult to describe. Watch the lowlights.

[eligrba4ever]

Three 1-2-3 innings for Meyer today after 6. He has been stellar since that Detroit single-double-run in the first. 7 Ks.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Solid performance from Meyer. This is the Meyer, Eppler was hoping to get with Santiago trade.

Although Hector has been having a good season himself.

[AngelsLakersFan]

This is reminding me of Ramon Ortiz' start vs Pedro Martinez... let's hope I don't remember it that way int he long run!

[JAHV76]

Nice game for Meyer hopefully he's figure out his control issues

[eligrba4ever]

A hard-hit double on Meyer's 96th pitch. Time for the pen?

GO BLAKE PARKER!!!

Ortiz won that game if I remember correctly?
