Rick Porcello pitched an 8 inning, 5-hit masterpiece over the Angels. He allowed 2 ER but they were hardly a blemish on a masterful 6-K performance.
Early on Angels starter Tyler Chatwood was motoring on through the Tigers with the same diligent put-away, but then the 6th inning happened. A threat to break the 2-2 tie in the top of the frame was snuffed by a sharp Erick Aybar GIDP. Chatwood hit the first batter of the bottom of the inning and the wheels just started creaking off the heretofore stellar start.
Before you knew it, four runs were in and Rich Thompson was fixin' a vegemite sandwich on the mound. Mop relief only added to the blowout insanity later on. Horacio Ramirez rose from the dead even but was the same old Ho-Ram.
If there is a silver lining besides the Texas Rangers losing a close one to the Blue Jays in Toronto it is Chatwood's 71 pitches through five innings pitched with nary an hour and ten ticked off the clock. In the postgame interview Mike Scioscia raved about those first five. Maybe the kid is going to save us yet.

My bad, we lost by 10 runs.
Even better.
This will be an easy one to “turn the page” on.
I've got nothing.
that picture implies that Cindy McCain
is satisfied.

I'm confused
A 10-run lead going into the 9th and you burn your closer?
And the halo shines tonight
Prolly overworked?
I love this team.

This game brought to you as a reminder that our offense still sucks.
Mike Scioscia has zero credibility to get mad at anyone, or anything. He is the reason Jeff Mathis plays baseball.
Yet we demoted Conger
Who just hit his 3rd home run in 39 abs for the Bees, to go with 4 doubles and 16 RBI, raising his average to .359.
Combined WAR to date of your Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Fantastic Five (VW, Torii, Kazmir, GMJ, Premium) -.3. WAR leader: VW:0.3 Combined 2011 salary: $66,600,000.
Are you suggesting he would have done that in his next 39 AB's
against major league pitching?
Just wondering?
Don't you wish we played ALL our games against AAA teams??

Mrs. Sothball and I attended this game in person...
…why admit to this? Because it’s still less painful following our national budget negotiations.
No blowout loss would be complete without a Horacio Ramirez cameo
Is he really the best we can get for the 25th spot on the roster?
Who is this Ho-Ram guy and where's our Fraudney?
Ahhh... Yes... Finally back home in SoCal!!!

We sucked tonight. Not much to add to that.
But I still blame the Snuggies.
YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARKSIDE.....
A very sunny hello , from Boracay Islands , Philiipines ...
btw. I would still take the Molina Brothers in their late 40’s to catch for the LAA , anytime .
