If it wasn't enough to lose the ASG over 8.5 with typical random baseball results, here comes this Angels/NYY game. Just had flashback to the other day when I had TB for a dime. They had a two run lead in the 8th. Maddon brings in gascan Farnsworth who proceeds to walk four. NYY score 3 and of course, as sonn as they take the lead they start making quick easy outs. Yanks won, I lossed. Back to tonight. Got a nice big wager on the Angels at some +200 and +275. Up 5-2 and Trumbo drives one to the top of the wall when superman Swisher flies thru the fucking sky to make a wonderful grab to end the inning. That was my cue to hedge because Im starting to get the hang of this in game momentum swings in baseball. One fucking catch tho, Betonline and bookmaker decided they wouldn't offer a moneyline during that half inning. The one before NYY were +620. But I couldn't find any number before the bottom of the 8th. And of motherfucking course, Scioscia bring in his closer with a .30 ERA in the 8th who then gives up 3 runs within the first 3 batters and eventually the lead. Then the icing on the cake, my 4 yr old thought it would be funny to bring daddy the phone when the father in law calls instead of taking it to mommy so I get to watch the Angels fuck away the lead while Im trying to fake enjoying an annoying phone call. FUCK I hate this sport.

As one who is in the middle of his genius, "take CJ Wilson's next ten starts" death march, this one stung for me as well. His last start out included his typical base on balls brain fart inning against the O's, except that instead of inducing a double play as his lucky ass is apt to do, he gave up a three run cack shot on his way to losing 3-2 that night. Oh well, he was still 4-1 for me at that point so I was willing to forgive his Ervin Santana impersonation and just chalk it up to a blister that I was glad to see wasn't affecting him last night as he was dealing nicely as a road dog. And as TC correctly points out, the thing that was the real ball buster about this one, more so than the earlier short porch job Tex fisted out down the line (somebody in baseball will someday have to explain to me why that's in any way a part of the game at all, perhaps sight lines for the fans?) was the fact that Downs had him 0-2 to start the ab. I'm still trying to get the taste of bile out of my mouth from this one, and am hopeful that wasn't an ominous foreshadowing for the second half of the season. I'm reminder of Ty Webb's sliced tee shot impaling itself on the beak of a bird perched in a tree, and Dangerfield offering "don't worry, it's good luck.". Yeah, in Haiti.

Fuck Mike Matheny. I don't care if lance Berkman is Babe fucking Ruth, if my team hasn't hit in two GD weeks, we are going to sac bunt in the 8th with 1st and 2nd no outs. Instead he is too fuckin chicken shit to do it. Doesn't have the fuckin nuts to tell old ass broke down Lance Berkman to bunt. When you fuck up the way baseball is played, you then go out and walk the bases full and lose.
