The Wire Troll: Don’t be a Dumbo, Pick up Trumbo

The picture of Morales on the ground with his leg bent in the wrong direction is not a pretty one, folks, and this is a huge loss to the Angels as they try to keep pace with both the Rangers and Athletics in a suddenkly tough American League West Division. I’m not against celebrating, but let’s face it, this wasn’t Game Seven of the World Series and it’s just about time to cut this crap out of the game before someone else gets seriously hurt.

The Wire Troll: Taking Some Goalie Medicine

The thing that any expert fears is looking back at his predictions from the start of the season, and when he mostly cringes, you know it did not go quite as well as it planned.

Honestly, I really should because it gives an insight of just what we were thinking would happen compared to what actually transpired.

The Wire Troll: Straight A’s

Crappy news for the A’s, who are off to a good start, but great news for both Cahill and Mazzaro, who will get to join the A’s rotation for the foreseeable future. Cahill sure didn’t look good in his first start Friday, but he won 10 games as a rookie with the A’s last season and in his two starts at Triple-A before his recall, he sparkled. While Duchscherer hasn’t officially been put on the DL, considering his history with hip injuries, it’s most likely a matter of when not if. And when that happens, Mazzaro is the most likely candidate to take his starts. Mazzaro was hit hard in the bigs last year, but he’s been a superb Triple-A pitcher the past couple of seasons, and is averaging better than a K per inning with a 2.59 ERA through four starts and one relief appearance at Sacramento. Both Cahill and Mazzaro are worth gambling on in AL-only leagues, but you’re probably best off cherry picking when to start them until they get into a rhythm.
