I so hate that "guard the line" strategy. That was the big thing in this inning. Mora has a DP if he is playing normal position. Every team does it, but I just hate it. He was playing a left hand hitter, 1 step off the 3rd base line. Just very low percentage positioning.I wasn't a big fan of what Mora did initially, but I actually think it was the right play in retrospect. He has no chance to get the guy at second and it would have been tough to get Aybar at first. He runs very well.

Absolutely correct. Guarding the lines is the equivelant of the prevent defense in football. It's playing scared, to prevent the least likeliest thing to happen. Especially true in the this case with the lefty at the plate.

Excellant job by Sherill to get the job done though. Good tough win.

A sense of humor does, though.

Gotta love Rick Dempsey calling the Angels the "California Angels."

Dempsey played parts of four decades in the majors (1969-1992), and they were the "California Angels" all along.

I'm with The Dipper. They'll always be the California Angels to me.

He's a journalist. Call them what they are. ;)

When I was a kid, I kinda liked their 1st hat... the one with the halo on it:

Please explain the joke to me. (In all seriousness)

So you've never had someone break something of yours or mess something of yours up real bad and then said "Oh my god! I'm going to kill you!" ? Or anything like that?

It's the same thing.
