Was wondering if the Angels were really playing as bad of defense as I thought they were. Had to check AN for confirmation. Total schadenfreude! I love seeing them fail.

top 5 moments of 2009
Was when A rod got nailed in the elbow by an A’s pitcher. Who the hell was that again? Late August game, he was wearing elbow guard but the pitch was amazing in its ability to find the perfect crease in the joint and nail him. Funny.

Go Dodgers.
The ideal scenario for the rest of the Yankee-slegnA series would be that every game goes 25 innings and all the pitchers arms fall off so they are no good next season.
All the key hitters get HBP’s on the wrist are with 90 plus fastballs and I cannot think of anything else.

I watched the game at Kimballs with some friends
Kimball’s set up a small area with couches and tables and a plasma TV (instead of the projection TVs that they usually have), and it was quite living room like. decent draft beer, so-so wings, ok hamburger and nice thick cut fries. The owner was quite talkative, and the other employees and customers were very friendly. All in all, a reasonable place to watch the game.
I dislike both teams, so I wasn’ too invested in the outcome…but the slegnA did absolutely nothing to deserve winning…and CC was great to watch.

Not Knowing How To Celebrate, A-Rod Breaks Champagne Bottle Over Teammates’ Heads
MINNEAPOLIS—Following the Yankees’ Game 3 victory over the Twins in the ALDS Sunday, Alex Rodriguez demonstrated a complete lack of understanding of the most basic celebratory techniques when he broke bottles of champagne over several of his teammates’ heads. “We were all screaming and cheering, but he just laughed in this weird monotone for a minute or so, then lifted his arm straight up, smashed a bottle on Melky [Cabrera]‘s head, and rubbed the shards of glass into Melky’s eyes,” teammate Robinson Cano said. “He fired a cork into [Nick] Swisher’s face from point-blank range, too. Then he just ran around in tiny circles for about 10 minutes. It was bizarre.” Rodriguez’s publicist later released a statement of apology indicating that, from this point forward, the Yankee third baseman would jump on home plate with the rest of his teammates after game-winning hits, and would no longer try to lick everyone’s face.
