The two obvious highlights of this game are Juan Rivera's 4-for-4 night with a trio of doubles and a home run, and K-Rod claiming the major league single-season saves stat as his own. As the latter is going to take up plenty of space discussing on its own, I'll start with the former to get it out of the way. Last night was only the second time in Juan's career he's posted a game with three doubles...

I can’t let the week pass without noting the oddity of Juan Rivera getting in an inning at second base. Alas, nothing was hit his way. His pinch-hit two-bagger the next night was more like it.

Wednesday's terrible loss to the Athletics was made almost tolerable by the unimaginably first and certainly LAST time that Angel stadium announcer David Courtney will ever utter the sentence “2nd Baseman Juan Rivera.” Chone Smith and I marveled as it echoed throughout the stadium. Are you of the belief that the Angels MUST disable Howie Kendrick immediately? I am. HK47 has played in too many consecutive...
