Lee

That was one ugly strikeout...

[Roy31]

What is it that crap? Eaton tossed? **** OFF...

[Molina00]

There goes the ball game. So much for a series win.

[Roy31]

Thats a pile of crap tossing him for that...

[Molina00]

I'm not watching the game on TV. I'm keeping tabs on it with MLB.com Gameday. Why did he get ejected?

[Roy31]

He threw the pitch behind the batter, first pitch after the home run. But didnt even hit him, who cares if he threw at the batter and it wasnt even head high.

The only thing worse than having Eaton tossed and giving up a 3 run homer is the fact that im watching it on angels network...

Rupe is good, he should be able to hold them for a couple innings.

[Molina00]

That's all? I saw that he threw a pitch behind the batter but why would he get kicked out for just that!? Sometimes I hate umpires.

Of course not. We need the Lewin/Grieve duo doing this game.
They give a fair report on both sides of the game.

Laird owns leftys... 2 outs runners on the corners.
