Dan Haren just got pulled from his Angels debut, after taking a line drive to either his wrist or forearm.

They came out, checked him, and pulled him.  The announcers say he's going to get x-rays.

That team has actually had horrible luck...

They had a bus crash in 91 that nearly killed their manager Buck Rodgers, they’ve had several players die in car crashes, including Adenhart last year. Lyman Bostock was murdered in 1978. After he gave back some salary (donated to charity) because he said he didn’t earn it. In 1986 they were one strike away from going to the World Series. A couple of guys got on, and Donnie Moore gives up a bomb that ties the game. The Angels lose that one and the next two and Boston goes to the World Series. Moore killed himself a few years later. They might be the most star crossed franchise. So don’t say they are lucky

If Haren is hurt, this doubly hurts the Angels

They traded Saunders to get him, and as not-good as Saunders is, he’s still better than O’Sullivan, Bell, etc. As it was, the Angels traded one part of the rotation for an upgrade, and still had a black hole in the No. 5 slot. Now they’ll have TWO black holes.

Even if he is on the DL now, this doesn’t ruin the trade for LAA because it’s as much for next year and the year after that as it is for trying to catch the Rangers in 2010. Even if he’s out for the rest of the year, he’ll be ready for next year.

I was perusing the DBacks board to gauge their reactions to the Haren trade....

…and I stumbled across the greatest post ever. See:

Ah the Eastern Press, the Nabobs of Negativity for anything not centering around the New York Yankees, the Boston Red Socks or the Philadelphia Phillys.
Any chance to bag those upstarts out west who are somewhere near where the Dodgers play, who will never be forgiven for beating the entire City of New York in 2001, the World Series New York deserved to win because of 911.
Sorry I am not making light of 911, it was a horrible viscious attack on innocent people who were representatives of the United States.
But you would have had to be blind or deaf not to hear or see all the reasons given on the sports shows about why New York needed that win.
But, the Diamond Backs could be leading the Western Confrerence, having won more games than any two eastern teams put together and they will still be ignored by the Eastern Press.
Do I care what Sports Illustrated has to say, or the New York Papers who usually just gush about the best team money can buy and declare it to be America’s Team? Shoot no I don’t and I think only time will tell.
Well these three guys make a difference, who knows, Haren, who I liked, wasn’t doing anything to help.

Michael Kohn

per ESPN


Kohn’s 90-95 mph fastball and good slider have been nightmare-inducing for minor league hitters. In two and a half minor league seasons, he posted a 13.6 K/9 mark (10.4 K/9 at Triple-A this year). Unfortunately, the good strikeout totals are somewhat offset by sputtering command; he has a 5.5 BB/9 in 26 Triple-A games. If he can stay under control, he’ll be a useful short reliever.

Be very careful not to underrate the Oakland offense.

Not only does their ballpark hold them back a ton, but they’ve gotten pretty damn unlucky.

For one example, they hit exactly as many line drives as Texas, but have a much lower BABIP (.303 when, purely by line drive rate, it should be closer to .320). And they actually hit fewer ground balls than the Rangers. Their offense, after park adjusting, isn’t too far below average, and it would probably be comfortably above average without so much bad luck.

And they’ve been playing like it lately.

But, but. . .

What about:

Unfortunately for the irrelevant Rangers, who have won just one playoff game in their history, and for their fans, which pound their chests like only Texans can, 2010 will end in much the same way that the last several years have ended — with the Angels on top, the Rangers sputtering toward the finish line.

Some say the Rangers falter in the heat of Texas. Others say the pitching just can’t hold up. Maybe this year it will be the financial status of the club and its owner. Whatever the case may be, the Rangers will find a way to drift back into obscurity once again.

Upon returning from my trip to Texas, a good friend asked me: "Did you find any place you’d want to live?"

I look at it this way:

For the Angels to win 90 games this season, they’d have to play out the rest of the season 38-22. That’s a .633 clip.

For the A’s to reach 90, they’d have to play out at 40-24. That’s a .625 clip.

For the Rangers to win 91, they have to go 33-30. That’s a .524 clip.

116-46...

I don’t see how it happened. It doesn’t seem possible. The Rangers would have to go 58-5 for the remainder of the season to match that.

One of the best series, until the Mariners escaped...

was the ALDS of that year against the Indians. The Mariners were supposed to slaughter them, obviously, and get revenge for the 1995 ALCS. However, the Indians shut them out in game one and panic set in amongst their fans. Then, game three happened:

I'm not understanding messages like these.

This is why the playoffs odds are 90%. Because 10% of the time, something astounding happens. Every single person here knows the Rangers haven’t clinched everything.

But that means those things almost never happen. It is alright to be mostly comfortable right now. Because a team in the Rangers position will almost always make the playoffs. No one needs to be reminded that “almost always” isn’t "always. LSB isn’t stupid.

Also, they still won the division in ’96, so. . .

ERA and FIP being pretty much inline and tERA being much higher is pretty funny to me. So, his ERA isn’t unlucky based on what he has the most control over, but it is lucky based off of his contact rates.

Every series, I glance at the average MLB wOBA, and it’s just gone down and down as the season has progressed.

It’s now at .324. That’s the lowest since 1998 (I haven’t bothered to check before ‘98). Not by much, but it’s by 2 points now (.326 in ‘05 and ’02). And it’s way below most of the last 10+ years. Average in ’99 and ’00 was .341. Average!

I think the best thing about this recent swing is the fact that it completely...

validates my ability to ignore the series before the break that didn’t happen.

I pretty much had hopes of the Rangers having a lead around 8 games or so by the break and they do now only it’s 11 games after the break with Boston, Detroit and Anaheim behind them.

It must be the Rangers year. If look at run differential in the standings, I don’t think the Angels or A’s can catch the Rangers as long as they don’t nose dive. I think the Rangers have +30-40 plus. A’s +5-10, Angels -20 plus. It’s just a matter of time the Angels go into a dry spell. 4-6 in their last 10 works. Same with the A’s.
