You know what else gets my pants tight?Frieri and his 0.00 ERA and 0 hits allowed in 12 IP with the AngelsAlbert Pujols and his 8 HR's + 28 RBI's in the past month.The unstoppable outfield trio of Trout, Bourjos, Hunter/Trumbo/who really cares who's playing RF because Trout and Bourjos are crazy fast.Klondike BarsAny catcher who isn't Jeff Mathis. Except Bobby Wilson, maybe.Angels 5 Yankees 1 Game Recap  Torii Hunter had a quite return to Anaheim, even though he did record a hit in 4 AB's.

So far, the results have been mixed. After striking out four times in...
