Not that anyone especially cared, but the White Sox took the trouble of releasing ex-Angel Bartolo Colon yesterday. He had been on the DL with elbow inflammation since July 28.

Fire Brian Fuentes: Red Sox 9, Angels 8
September 16, 2009 by
6-4-2: Double Play Blog
| Comments
Brian Fuentes needs to no longer be the Angels' closer. Two consecutive infield singles was horrible; the BS call by the home plate umpire in Nick Green's at-bat is unconscionable, but it wouldn't have mattered if Fuentes hadn't sucked in the first place.
That is...

And On A Happier Note: Dodgers 5, Pirates 4 (13 Innings)
September 16, 2009 by
6-4-2: Double Play Blog
| Comments
I'm getting a serious dose of east coast bias here in Arkansas, which is set in the central time zone; the Dodgers managed to tie this one up after trailing most of the way in regulation following a Steve Pearce homer and Zach Duke's RBI single, both in the second inning.

Tea Leaves Gather For Another First-Round Exit: Red Sox 4, Angels 1

John Lackey just bid down his value to the Yankees some as he did himself no favors in Fenway. Other 'n that, I have no comments other than I'm getting sick of watching the Angels stumble into the finish. Play like you mean it, dammit.

Teixeira Outdoes Morales: Yankees 5, Angels 3
September 15, 2009 by
6-4-2: Double Play Blog

Kendry Morales stranded three while going 1-for-4, while Mark Teixeira tied the game in a 3-for-4 night. Not that I'm bitter about Teix leaving for the Yankees, mind you, but Kendry's been slumping some lately, as has Juan Rivera.

From the SI vault, a piece about opening day 1989 in which Chisox first baseman Greg Walker was pinned to the ground in a brawl, a year after he fell to the ground with a seizure (also prior to a July 30, 1988 game against the Angels):
Most of the players who ran to the spot where...
The Weather In Dallas Is Still Ugly

Dallas weather calls for thunderstorms through Monday, making me wonder if the Rangers will even manage to get one game in the scheduled doubleheader.
Seattle topped Texas 8-3 last night in a rain-shortened game finished after only 8.1 innings pitched by the away team. With yesterday...

Dodgers Embarrass Giants For A Second Night: Dodgers 9, Giants 1

The Giants had a few scoring opportunities against Vicente Padilla, but wasted all but one of them, most notably in the fifth with men on second and third and one out.
Russell Martin's three-run jack in the fourth effectively put the game away for the Giants, but the Dodgers continued...
Last Minute Rally Of No Avail: White Sox 4, Angels 3 (10 Innings)

The big story for the AP will be Scott Podsednik's inside-the-parker; and I'm inclined to go that way myself, because there are few plays in baseball as exciting. But really, for the Angels, the nearly indestructible Bobby Abreu showed just how much he needed a day off, as...

Another good piece by Robothal; as to the Angels:
Here is where the addition of left-hander Scott Kazmir could matter most — assuming that Kazmir continues his recent roll, which is no guarantee.
Kazmir is 2-0 with a 3.27 ERA against the Red Sox this season, with both of his starts...

The Times reports that Clayton Kershaw's right (non-throwing) shoulder is much worse off than at first believed, and is in fact separated. He injured it hitting the outfield wall and separated it at the time. He hopes to return next week.
