Yawn. Same ol', same ol', with a few odd exceptions...
Meanwhile, my injury plagued
Angels limped through May, and hit the skids a bit the last couple weeks - enough to the point where they went and signed recent retiree Raul Mondesi.
Sucks when half of your starting lineup is on the shelf for nearly the whole season.
My
Dodgers have also (expectedly) come crashing back down to Earth with a giant
thud! Didn't expect them to do much this year, so that flash in the pan April/early May was certainly more exciting than most of us around here ever expected. But it's back to reality now. Oh well. It was fun while it lasted.
Unfortunately, the
Giants have finally caught fire now, with 10 wins in a row.
And on the flip side, the dreaded
Yanks have ascended to their usual spot atop the AL throne.
I'll refrain from worrying about baseball though, until my basketball team has finished handling their business...
Then I'll be sure to stop by a little more often and tell you all about how the
Angels are going to bounce back and kick all your asses!
