The Angels/Red Sox have one crazy game going on ESPN 2 right now. 10-7 Angels. Vlad is 4-4 with 2 HRs and 9 RBIs. (AL Record is 11) Eckstein is 5-5 with 4 runs. Kotchman has a 15 pitch AB against Pedro in which he fouled off 11 straight pitches. Kotchman has struck out 4 times in his ML career now.....2 of them were tonight in consecutive ABs to Pedro.

I'm glad I watched the Angels-Red Sox game over the O's game last night.

What a game.

[sahyder1]

This is crazy. By Sunday Zeile would've played 18 consecutive games against teams he played for in the past. Does anyone know if that's a record?

I think it might very well be.

I remember the 6 months he was in Baltimore... that was one of his longer stays on a team I think.

[Lowerdeck]

A better question might be to ask - what teams has Zeile not played for yet?

I know not Boston.

[sahyder1]

He's played for 11 teams with the Mets being the only ones he's had 2 tours of duty with.

Ben Sheets Perfect through 6.

He lost that in the 7th.....but it's 0-0 in the 10th. Angels have just one hit.

[ACCBiggz]

We care not for Vlad..

Jealous.

1-0.....17 innings. That's just crazy. The Angels manage just 4 hits in 17 innings.

Milwaukee won.

[gunnar hendershow]

O's got spanked my the Big Unit last night.

Anyone who didn't see that one coming rasie your hand?

*Sees no hands raised*

I thought so.

[Lowerdeck]

Pedro goes 8 innings in a game. Only gives up a couple of hits and no runs.

Since when does Pedro do that anymore?

[Miami Vice]

w00t! Jays started off interleague play right with a 7-1 win over LA. Lilly is on fire right now. He hasn't lost since April 21st. Now, if we could only get Doc off the DL then the pitching would really be solid.

Mondesi likely out for season

Outfielder has torn right quadriceps

ANAHEIM -- It didn't take outfielder Raul Mondesi long to join the ranks of the Angels' infirm.

In his eighth game as an Angel since signing with the club May 29, Mondesi tore his right quadriceps (thigh) muscle while running to first base in Tuesday night's loss to Milwaukee and is likely out for the year.

The Angels immediately placed Mondesi on the 15-day disabled list and said he will be out "indefinitely."

According to online medical journal WebMDHealth, the recovery time for this injury is a minimum of six months, so it's possible that Mondesi, a free agent at the end of the season, has played his last game as an Angel.

Mondesi, who was hitting .118 in 34 at-bats over eight games, left the Angels clubhouse while his teammates stretched on the field before Wednesday's game.

He was sent for an MRI and was re-examined by team physician Craig Milhouse on Wednesday evening. Milhouse confirmed the tear.

Mondesi will likely be replaced on the roster by center fielder Garret Anderson, who played in his third rehab game for Single-A Rancho Cucamonga and was deemed by Angels manager Mike Scioscia to be "further along than we ever thought he'd be" in his recovery from arthritis that has kept him out of action since April 22.

Mondesi joins Anderson, Darin Erstad, Troy Glaus, Brendan Donnelly, Tim Salmon and Troy Percival as Angels who have spent time on the DL this year.

The injury continues a strange year for Mondesi, an 11-year big-league veteran.

Mondesi started the season with the Pittsburgh Pirates and played until late April, when he said he would sit out the rest of the season to fight a lawsuit filed against him by Mario Guerrero, a former player who alleged that he deserved about $650,000 -- one percent of his earnings -- for teaching Mondesi how to play baseball while growing up in San Cristobal, D.R.

Mondesi did not travel to Denver for a series against the Colorado Rockies, so the Pirates placed him on the restricted list. Then he didn't show up for a series opener against the Padres and was waived.

The Angels signed him May 29 for a remainder-of-the-season deal that paid him $1.75 million.

We hardly knew ye. Mondesi's long and illustrious Angel career comes to a screeching halt and since I hate him.....it's all good (wonder how the contract works out here). Salmon came back today, Anderson expected by the end of the week and Erstad possibly starting minor league rehab this week

like I said.....I hate him. Good riddance. Moreno is gonna be a major buyer at the deadline.

[gunnar hendershow]

Shame to see someone get hurt, but since it's Mondesi it isn't that bad.

[Guest blueblood]

Yeah. I Don't like Raul Mondesi either. IMO he is overrated. It's good to see the Angels get some players back. Garrett Anderson needs to be in the line-up at all times. Maybe the Angels can start tearing it up again.

Moral of the story is, iff you play for the Angels, you will go down quicker than Kevin Nash
