Indians Lose, Tigers Winning

Well, Westbrook gave up six earned runs in 3.1 innings, and the Tribe loses 7-2. Davis came in to protect the dignity of the script "eye" and gave up one earned run in 3.2 innings; his ERA is now 5.75. Nice work, J.D. Respect.

The Tigers are up 8-0 in the top of the fifth against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. The Angels' off-season name change is perhaps the worst name change in the history of name changes. I mean, didn't we all love the old California Angels? The Anaheim Angels won a World Series. But now, it's an L.A. team that plays in Orange County. I guess if the Detroit Lions can play in Pontiac for so many years, and both New York football teams play in New Jersey, it's not really a location thing. But this was a team with a history, not an all-bad history, with another name. Was this just a marketing decision--an attempt to break into the L.A. market? Does the name matter that much?

As so often happens, I just don't get it.
