I'm not too upset at Marte....he only gave up one ball that was hit hard (the double).....those singles were both dying ducks that just happened to drop. Time for the hitters to win this game now!

No one was covering.
They said on the Angels telecast (only option I have in Vegas) that Iguchi was on the bag waiting.....their announcers were stunned that Rowand didn't throw the ball there right away.
I think Cotts can go another inning....if not, perhaps Marte could relieve him for a batter or two. I really don't want to see Takatsu or Vizciano pitching in one run games until they work out their problems.

That last play was even pretty damn good.
Can Cotts pitch the 8th? I really don't wanna see Vizcaino in there. Wow, I just asked if Cotts can stay in a game...
Would you rather have Shingo??

Pods is a huge run on 2nd right now.
It'd be nice to get him home....but I'm not worried either way. Hermanson will close the door in the bottom of the inning 1-2-3.
I still like pitching to Lee there....you have to try and avoid having the lead run hitting in the inning. Walking Lee would have given Burnitz a chance to hit a 3 run homer and grab the lead. Unfortunately the strategy didn't work....but I agree with pitching to Lee.
