Ah man. I needed Garrett Richards to throw a no-hitter last night. Five hits too many and two fewer innings.
I'd have won that 100 free roll from Prone. Oh well. It wasn't too far off. I should have asked for a shutout.

trout with 73 RBIs at the break.

The Angels are trying to acquire starting pitcher Ian Kennedy and closer Huston Street from the Padres, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports writes. The two teams have discussed a possible deal for Street, but not yet for Kennedy.

Acquiring both players will be tricky for the Angels, Rosenthal suggests, because the Padres control both Kennedy and Street through 2015. They are more inclined to trade players who are eligible for free agency after the season, like Chase Headley and Chris Denorfia. Another potential obstacle is that the Padres’ ownership might hope to quickly build a competitive team — the recent signing of Seth Smith to a two-year extension suggests that the Padres do not wish to rebuild for long. They could potentially trade Headley and Denorfia, but keep Kennedy and Street for next season.

The Padres might acquire Triple-A second baseman Taylor Lindsey in a deal for Kennedy and Street, Rosenthal writes. The Angels do not have a strong farm system, so it might be tough for them to assemble the talent needed to swing a big trade, at least not without dealing big-league players of their own.

What a matchup on saturday, King Felix (11-2, 2.12 ERA, 154 K in 144.1 IP) vs Garret Richards (11-2, 2.55 ERA, 127 SO in 123.1 IP)

not to mention Weaver vs Iwakuma tmw.

I hope the MLB Network is picking that game up or perhaps it will be a local FOX "game of the week" telecast.

wtf man i lose joe smith as a closer now he was my best player

joakim soria is next then ill be down to just mark melancon lol

cano is fuckin dirty...

Huston Street deal is finalized!

Although Smith has been looking good out of the bullpen lately, obtaining Street will help out big time. Last I heard, our bullpen was like 24th in the league or something ~~

the fuck at this game...
