LAst Night's Action: Local Teams Don't Give a Damn

Rangers 16, Angels 2 - Welcome to opposite day; Cellar dweller Texas plastered playoff-bound LAnaheim and completed a three game sweep. A day after resting several stars, the Angels showed that they're still struggling with injuries. They got a couple runs in thanks to small ball (both were scored on sac flies), but gave up a whopping five home runs. One was hit in the first by Sammy Sosa. (You remember him, even if he doesn't remember much.) The Halos have three games against Oakland to try and put themselves in a good position for home field advantage in the playoffs.

Rockies 2, Dodgers 0 - The Dodgers are so impotent they couldn't even play spoiler. Colorado won for a second game in a row and are still in the hunt for a wild card birth. The Dodgers just floundered, as they have for the entire second half of the season. Despite out-hitting the Rockies 8-5, they never got on the scoreboard and stranded ten runners on base.

Elsewhere - Next time you name your horse, choose wisely ... Wayne Gretzky endorses electric skate. This won't save hockey, either ... Barry Bonds had a bad day. He went 0-3 in his final game in San Francisco, and his record breaking ball is getting defaced.

Tonight's Action - Colorado @ Dodgers (7:00pm) ... Galaxy @ Kansas City (5:00pm).
