   That play by Rodriguez on Kendrick was just fantastic.

     the backhand catch, the smoothness of the pivot, and the quality of the throw, all to nip him by an inch or two.

   ?How about it, against Weaver, a righthander who has stifled every hitter thusfar with terrific placement and pitches. Senor Montero.

   Colon is mixing it up very well, as well.

   Curtis: “There you go again, Brett. You’re killin’ me, getting to those balls first. Think of my UZR, WAR, and MVP campaign!”

       Curtis:”Well, thank you, ma’am, it had to be done. I do it, and, well, the needs just show up kinda naturally, Ma’am.”

   The Angels tickled one across. That was a very entertaining cat-and-mouse game. Hard play and good play. Jeter was right to worried of Bourjos taking third, wrong to rush the throw, since it missed.

   Again, Alex makes a strong, perfect throw to get Wells by a couple inches, a few milliseconds. Course, Tex had to save him on the first out of the inning, laying full out to connect to the bag, when Alex had too much time, and thought about it too much.

   Angels have played excellent infield defense. Trumbo’s good stop on Curtis’ liner-bouncer was his second. He caught a screamer down the line earlier. Callaspo has made at least two fine plays, and Kendrick made a full dive grab on another screamer that would have plated a run.

   What’s the meaning of the symbol on the Angels’ caps? A lower-case a with an accent before the letter, like a beret, leaning over the brow. Wait, I see. It’s a halo seen in profile.

   Yep, the halo’s tickled one across.
