What makes this one especially difficult to take is that the poor kid just dealt with elbow surgery and worked hard to make it into major league baseball. He was killed just a few hours after he ” made his season debut with his father in the stands, throwing six scoreless innings against the Oakland Athletics.”

Two other people were also killed.

Angels Pitcher Dies in Car Accident

Behold, Manny Ramirez (32s) proving yet again that it’s his bat rather than his  Golden Glove caliber of play—oh, we were so close to typing that with a straight face!—that makes him such an asset to the team.

What’s harder than winning a game by keeping the other team hit-free? Why, losing a game despite keeping the other team hit-free.

Yeah, go ahead, scratch your head and mutter “WTF?” because the situation calls for both.

The LA Angels played city rival the LA Dodgers on Saturday and kept Joe Torre’s guys hitless. (It wasn’t technically a no-hitter because the Dodgers didn’t bat in the ninth). But thanks to a pair of Angel errors, the Dodgers used a steal and a sac fly to nab the game’s only run. . . marking the fifth time in MLB history that a hitless team has won a game.
