I hope Vlad starts hitting soon. If he doesn't the odds might not be too good. Mickey Hatcher needs to tell Vlad to try to just walk. Stop all the crazy hacking. The Angels just had a great two out come from behind rally and Vlad grounded out. That's about all he's been good for this season. He doesn't have to do anything more than get on base. If that's with a walk then fine.

Dustin Moseley isn't the answer to Adenhart's bad night. What a disappointment Dustin is this year. We had a tied game and he let the A's take the lead. He's showing why the Angels had to bring up Adenhart. Actually, I put more blame on horrible Jon Garland. If it wasn't for Saunders and Santana the Angels would have horrible pitching right now.
Hurry back Lackey.

Napoli ties the game with a homer. Why does he sit on the bench most games? Here's an idea. When Napoli isn't the catcher he's the DH. Nobody else is doing anything as the DH.
