Rangers 8, Angels 7 - Call it an emotional let-down. Call it a hangover. Call it whatever you want. The Angels lost when they should have been pushing even harder for home field advantage in the playoffs. Ervin Santana had a lousy start, giving up 6 runs on 8 hits in 5 innings. The loss left the Halos tied with Boston and Cleveland for best record in the AL.

Beckham Watch - Paging Dr. Beckham. Paging Dr. Beckahm. You are no longer Dr. Beckham ... Rumors persist that he may go overseas. We determined last night that Arsenal can, indeed, afford him.

Elsewhere - OSU coach Mike Gundy cares about his players. A lot. (Don't miss this one) ... This is what Milton Bradley gets for playing games ... Baseball rookie hazing, Yankee style ... Gay World Cup is underway. No, I did not say the World Cup is gay.

Today's Action - Angels @ Texas (5:00pm) in a game that still means something ... Colorado @ Dodgers (7:00pm) in a game that probably means nothing.
