Mike Scioscia, Bad Call On Line 1: Angels 3, Red Sox 0
Two straight days of Mike Scioscia ejections just can't be a good thing; it plays into the hands of the little Nats chimpies who bellow that he's a crybaby. Unfortunately for their case, this was, according to those who witnessed it (even including the opposition fans) one of the most amazingly bad calls in a while. Well, make that since the previous night, when David Ortiz's "check swing" turned into a ball, even to the surprise of Ortiz himself.
Despite it, Paul Byrd -- probably the least likely of the rotation to step up -- managed to get a great performance through seven, and into the eighth, when he melted. Followed up by two gutsy -- remember, the Angels bullpen is absolutely gassed now -- performances by Shields and Frankie, and the Angels and their pathetic offense hobble out of town, to open in the south end of Chicago.

No it's not. Not if Bartolo is ready to go on Saturday. They had Escobar up last night in the 8th. I take that as a sign that Bart is likely to start. Escobar, if effective, can give the pen a night of rest by going two or three innings. And if Wash gets lit up tonight, you use the call-ups in a mop-up role.
