Dodgers 6, Astros 2 - Too bad the Dodgers weren't playing double or nothing. The Blue Crew split the series against Houston 2-2. In the final game, they turned four double plays. Second baseman Jeff Kent hit three doubles, including one for a two runs. His counterpart, Craig Biggio, also had a couple hits. Angels 4, Blue Jays 3 - LAnaheim avoided a sweep thanks to a home run by Gary Matthews, Jr. and a... more ›

Giants 4, Dodgers 2 - Maybe it's better this way. If Barry had tied (or passed) Hank Aaron in Chavez Ravine, it would have been the second time the Dodgers gave up the record breaking shot (yup, Hammerin' Hank hit 715 against the Boys in Blue). That's not to mention the riot that would have ensued. This isn't exactly the most hospitable town for any Giant, much less that Giant. It was a bigger game... more ›

Angels 7, A's 6 - Francisco Rodriguez blew a save opportunity despite a three run lead. Fortunately, he was saved by Maicer Izturis' RBI single with two out in the bottom of the ninth. Vladimir Guerrero took the day off and while the Halos generated plenty of offense without him, none of the 15 hits left the park. The team's recent home run slump coincides with Vlad's, who hasn't gone yard in 24 games despite... more ›

Kobe Bryant made just five of 13 and was held to 15 points. Unlike game one of the series, Kobe tried to set up his teammates... more ›

Last night I made my way down to Anaheim for my first game at the Big A this season. The first thing I noticed was that it only cost me $8 to park, and I was able to easily get in and out of the stadium. In contrast, it'll cost you $15 to park at Dodger Stadium, and getting a spot and leaving the stadium will give you more headaches than that Paris Hilton... more ›

When an author of a book about cheating in baseball noticed Angel closer Francisco Rodriguez going to his cap an inordinate amount of times on Opening Day, he wrote about it on his blog and got photos, and his allegations against K-Rod made it to the front office of Major League Baseball. Where it died. Yesterday MLB called the Angels to tell them that there would be no investigation of K-Rod's cap because there... more ›

In what will probably be discovered as being a halo around his head, Angels closer Francisco Rodriguez is being accused of having an illegal substance on the brim of his cap. The blog The Cheater's Guide to Baseball claims that in the first two games of this young season, K-Rod has gone to his cap an inordinate amount of times, with special attention given to the underside of his cap by the thumb of... more ›

The Angels blew their second straight winnable game today, losing 5-4 to the A's on a dumb mistake by Francisco Rodriguez. LAist cannot remember the last time a pitcher missed a routine throwback from a catcher, which caused a run to score. We certainly can't recall it ever happening to end a game. more ›
