Dodger bullpen blows a 2-0 lead, now it's 2-2 in the 7th. :shakehead:

No relief in sight. :doh:

Dodgers win in 13 innings, 3-2, on a James Loney walk-off home run. :sweat:

Dodgers win another pitching duel (or lousy hitting duel) with the Mets, 1-0.

Wonder if Manuel will have a job this time tomorrow, shut out 4 times on their west coast swing, Randolph got canned 3 years ago after a horrible series in LA. :doh:
Sox drop their 2nd in a row to the pitiful M's, 4-2, bullpen gave it up. :usuck: Not a bad start for Dice-K, left leading 2-1 but the 'pen made sure that lead didn't stay. Now 8 games out of first and 5 1/2 out of the wild card, :puppydog: can't wait too long to start that push or that last month is going to be a looong one. :sweat:

Bullpen has been a real issue in Seattle, the starters weren't that bad.

Same thing with the Dodgers... Looks like the starters have stepped up recently to keep the relievers from botching the game.... Though they were playing the Mets. :beaten:

Sox travel next to Anaheim to play the LA Angels, :naughty: who have fallen now 7 games in back of the Rnagers, fans in LA must be up in arms about that. :rofl:

And they're only 1/2 game in front of the surprising A's, Angels payroll is probably 3 times theirs. :bleh: Dodgers are like the Sox, only 63 games to go, least they can make up ground this week as they travel down the coast to SD. Meanwhile, gonna be hard for the Sox to gain ground, Yanks play the Indians, who are only 21 games behind them. :nut:

I hope so. :fingerscrossed: :sweat:

Yeah, pen blew 2 games and almost a 3rd. :sweat: Bucholz starts tonight, hopefully he'll be better than his first one when he came off the DL. :fingerscrossed: Problem us fans have out here, weekday games on the west coast start too late, always have to wait until the next day to find out the scores :bleh: ...way they've been going, could be a good thing. :doh:

Yeah, that's what stinks about west coast games.

I've no problem with the west coast games. :P :mrgreen:

Just wait until Honolulu gets a team. :hehe:

Fat chance.

Though UH typically has a very good football and volleyball team. :applaud:

Matt Garza of the Tampa Bay Rays throws a no-hitter against the Tigers, 5-0, the fifth no-hitter in baseball this season. :victory:

You should follow games in Japan, I find out today if Hanshin and Seibu won tomorrow. :crazy:

Ortiz homers, Haren hurt in Boston's win over LA
By GREG BEACHAM, AP Sports Writer

ANAHEIM, Calif. – David Ortiz hit two homers in the same stadium where he won the Home Run Derby nearly two weeks ago, and Clay Buchholz pitched seven strong innings in the Boston Red Sox's 6-3 victory over Dan Haren and the slumping Los Angeles Angels on Monday night.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Angels are snakebit: they get Dan Haren in a trade and he promptly gets hurt.

Can you say "the Clippers of baseball?" :hehe:
