Pittsburgh Pirates defeat LA Dodgers 15-8. So I'm on the other coast not paying attention while they win and Juan fucking Pierre hits a home run, and I come back and they give up eight runs in the seventh inning. All I have to say is at least there was more scoring than the Auburn-Mississippi State game on Saturday. But whatever. The Dodgers can't win every game, and at least they have a decent lead in the division. more ›

LA Angels defeat Detroit Tigers 7-1. In this edition of Breakfast with the Angels, the Angels bats pounded the Tigers into submission. They drove Tiger's starter Kenny Rogers out of the game in the third inning after pitching to four Angels hitters and getting none of them out. He gave up six runs on eight hits in those two-plus innings and looked nothing like the dominant pitcher we know him to be. Angel's starter Ervin Santana meanwhile gave up only one run on a solo shot in the eighth inning. He would pitch 7 1/3 innings giving up that lone run and six hits while striking out eight. I think someone is ready for the postseason. more ›
