Jeff Mathis Abandons Dan Haren in Angels Implosion

Final Score in Baltimore: Orioles 8, Angels 3

Results updated. Chatwood (Over) was the correct answer.

I read somewhere that Jeff Mathis is a winner. The words were a lie. Lyle M. Spencer of mlb.com is a liar. Mathis has made a liar out of a man who does not even understand the game about which he is paid to write. Mathis made a liar out of poor senile Lyle and loser out of Dan Haren and dug the grave on this season a hell of a lot deeper than it was before the first pitch.

But let's not let Mike Scioscia off the hook, as his late-game addition of Hank Conger as catcher yielded the first 2 runs of the game with a King Conger Big Bomber - a monster HR hit in the 9th inning off of Baltimore's über mop Kevin Gregg. Oh, and the inclusion of Vernon Wells in the lineup led to an 0 for 3 night with 4 LOB.

Pretty much summarizes the season. The Rangers Magic Number is 9, could be 8 later tonight and might be zero as early as Wednesday. Do you think this will mean more or less ABs for Mathis and Wells?
