Two Games

Dodgers 7, Astros 6

Ugly, ugly, ugly, but a win's a win. It wasn't a crushing blow, but at this point, every loss tightens the noose around Houston's neck. Betcha they weren't happy to see Gagné, especially after Ensberg nearly got a homer off him.

Recap

Indians 8, Angels 5

If you're Cleveland, you've gotta love tonight's game, and I'll hand it to them now: Tadano pitched very well, and their offense had some punch when they needed it. Gay porn video or no, the guy can throw, and his 5+ ERA he entered the game with was clearly a one-game fluke. Only the Indians' pathetic bullpen gave the Angels a chance, which Percival quickly squandered. Anybody wondering if he's coming back only needs to recall tonight's game. While Rex and Hud were quick to blame Eckstein for that failure, the fact is that Percy's time as a dominant closer is over. As well they should blame Anderson for not leaping to the top of the centerfield wall and catching that tater.

Whither Sele? Was his first half excellence a last hurrah? His peripherals were down badly to begin with (4.40 K/9 YTD vs 6.19 K/9 career), and I've been wondering when or if he'd collapse. He's earned patience, but how much is another question.
