Bullpen burnout forced Mariners to stick with David Aardsma

Big_ten_tournamnet_d95f
Yes, I know yesterday's game was painful to watch. We can see here how, in the ninth, Vladimir Guerrero gets a little lucky, blooping an RBI hit to right that makes it an 8-7 game. For me, that hit keyed the inning. It forced the M's to walk Torii Hunter, because you just...

Angels Try Hard To Lose, Beat O's With A Huge 13th: Angels 17, Orioles 8

Angels_vs_athletics_6b2f
