Final Score in Anaheim: Angels 3, Mariners 0
The Angels may be out of the division race but that doesn't mean they don't want the Seattle Mariners to have a good draft pick next June. A three game sweep of the Seattle Nine was completed by a punctual drubbing at the hands of Ace 2.0 Dan Haren. The righthander struck out 6 in 7 innings pitched. Hideki Matsui drove in a bases loaded run on catcher's interference in the 1st inning, Juan Rivera had an RBI single and Mike Napoli hit a solo insurance HR in the 8th.
Fernando Rodney converted a save with as big a cushion as Elias allows and Jordan Walden struck out 2 in one inning of work. In a sign of the times, today was a kids Back-to-school "Reminder Binder" giveaway. Forget childhood, it is time for the youth of Orange County to stick to a schedule.

Jered Weaver says hi.
(with a tear in his eye)
Any time you think you have the game conquered the game will turn around and punch you right in the nose.
Mike Schmidt
Catcher's interference = no at bat, therefore no RBI.
Lots of ways to build fun baseball puzzles out of that event.

I know we're going to have a big challenge to do better than what we did last year, but I feel we have the team to do that. We want to win with numbing repetition. - Jim Harbaugh

I am happy that Sosh gave Walden a chnce in the 8th inning set-up role.
Good job Sosh. Let’s keep this progressive management going.
It makes me happy to see Scioscia
give Naps a high five when he homered. I shed a tear…lol

I watched Soth's mannerisms right after the high 5
He takes off his hat and scratches his head very inquisitively. I wonder what he was thinking?
A wise man does not need advice and a fool won't take it.
"perhaps
there’s something to this lil Mikey kid, he sure has been hitting a lot of homeruns when he plays. The flow chart may need an update."

Some teams need a few games to get going.
49ers will turn it around, too much talent.
They want power. We want respect...

What is this about the flying catcher's mitt?
I missed it, being busy doing stuff.
THIS… IS… ANAHEIM!!
First run scored on Catcher's Interference.

I didn't see it either. Didn't check in until 2nd or 3rd inning.

Plain and simple:
Matsui swung at the ball……..bat hit the catcher’s mitt, knocking it off his hand = catcher’s interference. (The catcher was reaching forward to catch and frame the ball).
The bases were loaded. Matsui takes first base, in effect driving in a run, but no RBI (as explained by Stirrups above).
Wow
That’s pretty bad right there and usually seems to happen to Matsui a lot as well.
Light up that dumpster!!

I think Selig paid them off to lose to TEX so that the Halos wouldn't have a snowballs chance of catching them.
Not that the Halos had one anyways.

Yanks just lulling the mighty rangers to sleep......
so they can sweep them when it matters.

Went to the game yesterday....
and found out for myself how bad Rodney really is. Dude throws more balls than strikes, yet still gets the f**king save? You gotta be kidding me. F. Rodney: A player who lives up to his name.
