"I was ridin' my horse, down by the Rio Grand-ee,
And all them coyotes singin', in a prairie symphony..."
Don't look now, but the Angels are on a tear!! Winners of SIX straight, riding high on the performances of their pitching staff (except Cousin Oliver) and the bats of Reggie and the Full Effect, CabFare, Bladimir, and Gary Matthews Juicer, these blokes are on a mission! Not to mention the timely slugging from Quinnie the Pooh and MoNapoli and the great glove work from Gaybar.
Tonight Barcholo the Magical Fat-Faced Talking Pinata takes the hill vs. Chad Durbin of le Tigre, seeking a seventh straight win for the Halos.
Seriously though, how badass is Reggie? This kid is top ten in BA and OBP (but needs more ab's to qualify amongst the leaders recognized by the league) and is exactly what the doctor ordered for the Angels as a leadoff guy. I'm loving every minute of it!
And how about that sweep of the Dodgers? That was simply awesome, outscoring them 19-4 over the three game set! Smashing!

Ah yes, the Angels. It's nice when they win.
Reggie is the outfielder version of David Eckstein and I love it.
Also, you forgot to mention that Kenny Howdrick has been activated and Mice Hair has been placed on the DL with that pesky hamstring problem of his.
When Johnny Rivers and Justin's Pyre come back, look out!
You mentioned Aybar, but the closing catch by Cabrera last night and the two plays by Juicer were sensational as well. In fact, the second catch by Jr. was magnificent.
Oliver is a drag. I'm not sure why Dustin couldn't have pitched at least the eighth.
Sugar Shane has made the absence of Speier much easier to take.
As for Cousin Oliver, he is like pretty much every lefty reliever we've had since Mike Holtz.
