Boy, this game was a nail biter.

Frieri is a beast in the closer role. He is K-rod 2.0.

No sweep, but at least we won both series against two hard teams. At least I am not a Detroit fan today, cause I would be embarrassed to lose to Phil Hughes with JV on the mound.

God Bard will not be a starter much longer. He went from like a record amount of scoreless innings last year to being unbearably lit up. I have no idea why they messed up such a good thing. Either way, took the series. Here's hoping we can keep it up.

Congrats to Matt Cain for the perfect game.

As for the Freeway Series, talk about a nail biter in the 9th. Freieri has escaped even the most impossible jams this year, and his one was his biggest one yet. We were lucky to take a series at Dodger stadium.

So can we talk about how great my Nationals are doing.

"That's a clown question, bro."

Funny thing is, I saw that photo on a Facebook page.

Indeed, for the Angels, the offense is picking up the slack now (despite two shaky starts from Haren, the offense bailed his ass). Looks like the team we saw in Spring Training. Either team is pretty much ensured a wild card spot at this point.

Aaron Hill!!!!!

Woo hoo, the TNT boys are in the All Star game. Along with the WW duo.

7 Rangers and 4 Angels (possibly a 5th). The West is ruling the All Star Game this time.

can anybody believe that the Pirates are 9 games above 500 and leading their division O_o

400 home runs for Papi! Right now I think 500 will be a stretch. I don't see him being a Bonds staying in the game til 43. I think 4 seasons left at most. If he can get to 415 this year, I think he definitely has a chance, but it's all on him.

Even more surprising thing about the Pirates is: Why the offense is all the suddenly good. I remember them always having the weakest of offenses, and now they are one of the best. Could be this years version of the 2008 Rays.

Years and years of high draft picks have to pay off eventually. Unless you're the Royals.

These are my updated Season Awards predictions

AL MVP- Josh Hamilton
NL MVP- David Wright

AL Cy Young- Justin Verlander
NL Cy Young- R.A. Dickey

AL MOY- Robin Ventura
NL MOY- this is a tough one but I predict Terry Collins wins this over Clint Hurdle

AL ROY- Mike Trout
NL ROY- Bryce Harper

AL comeback player of year- Adam Dunn
NL Comeback player of year- either Johan Santana or Buster Posey

does anybody agree or disagree with me?

I think Chris Sale has been more impressive so far than Verlander. I think McCutchen could give Wright a good ride.

Only half a game separates 5 teams for the AL Wild Card. Looks like the 2nd Wildcard is causing excitement for everyone here.

Good series win against the Rangers. Congrats to Mike Trout for breaking the rookie record for most consecutive games with a run.

WTF, Ichiro to the Yankees! Wow, just wow.

He's been here 12 years and still doesn't speak English. That's just lazy

Angels got Greinke!!! No Way!!!

Wow, Morales becomes only the 3rd player in history to hit two HR's in the same inning from both sides of the plate. Nice statement game for my Halos today.

Totally agree about McCutchen. Without him there is no way the Pirates would be doing well.

Has there ever been two perfect games in the same ballpark in one season?

Wow, what a game at Fenway. Great sweep of the Sox by my Halos. The biggest roller coaster game of the year, not just for the Angels, but of all the games this year.
