Storen and Holland - 2 blown saves. I don't think I like you guys.

Trout just made a circus type catch look routine, back toward home at the deepest part of the park, catch made over his head and at the wall.

[Izenhart]

Is everyone having a monster hitting night? All my teams are going bonkers.

[A Fleshner Fantasy]

Come on Texas, hold this lead! I'm freaking out man.

I've hit 10/3/9 so far, to cement all five hitting categories.

Pitching on the other hand, has been bizarro-day. Both of my pitchers who had pretty decent outings, the team won with the bullpen or gave up six runs to lose with the bullpen; Hughes gets lit up but the team rallies to win in the later innings. So the pitchers who should have won didn't, and the pitcher who shouldn't have almost did as the team came from way behind to get the W lol. Good thing I have Ks locked up airtight with like 12 starts this week including Estrada and Homer. I am .01 ERA and .03 WHIP away from a 9-1 victory after my opponent's Santana bit the pillow hard.
