Albert Who?

Did we mention Carlos Beltran leads the NL in homers with 13? Didn’t think so.
Despite the Braves sweeping them this weekend, Beltran and the Cards have been among the best teams in the National League so far. But like they say in Anaheim, it’s still early.

Oh My Josh

If you thought Matt Kemp got off to a sizzling start, think again. Josh Hamilton, who will be a free agent at season’s end, is the hottest player on the planet right now. He homered for the 18th time today in a 4-2 loss to the Angels.

Oh My

Maybe Jered Weaver’s no-hitter tonight against the Twinkies is the juice the Angels need to turn things around. Regardless, it was an impressive outing for 1 of Major League Baseball’s top pitchers.

Our daily thread.
We understand the NBA suspending Rajon Rondo for 1 game for bumping official Marc Davis. There is no excuse for it despite Doc Rivers, Paul Pierce and Charles Barkley, among others, offering them. He tripped? No shit Sherlock?
But shouldn’t Davis receive a time out or 2 for his awful officiating and missing calls, particularly the 1 that lead to the incident?

Timing seems suspicious to us: Laker reserve Jordan Hill was charged with choking his ex-girlfriend, an alleged incident that occurred 2 months ago. Surely the DA’s office in Houston wouldn’t be guilty of a little grandstanding, no? Didn’t think so.

Addition by subtraction: No offense to Caron, but with Butler out with a broken hand, Nick Young, who was instrumental in the Clip Joint’s huge rally Sunday night and 1 of its top performers the past month, will see an increase in minutes.

What about Paul?: Who would have guessed this? Paul Silas not returning to the Bobcats as head coach? What’s the problem?
Charlotte Observer
Panic? Not Albert: Any and almost everyone connected with the Angels these days are tight under the collar. But just because Albert Pujols hasn’t hit a homer this month (don’t panic Albert, but today is the last day) doesn’t mean anything to him. Pujols and the Angels host the Twinkies tonight.

Can’t Blame This On Tony Reagins
-
Tampa Bay closer Fernando Rodney, who the Angels showed little patience with, has 6 saves without a blown 1. That’s 1 short of the Angels win total.

No MLB player is hotter than Matt Kemp. The centefielder delivered again tonight, busting Tom Gorzelanny for his game-winning homer, in the 10th inning of the Dodgers 4-3 win over the Nats. Kemp’s 11th homer this month upstaged the debut of Bryce Harper.

The Angels should have done this before they broke from spring training, but stubbornly figured they would get a sucker for the contract of Bobby Abreu.

Has Scioscia Already Lost His Club?
-
Angel fans getting a little tight under the collar? Who knew?
Mike Scioscia is frequently hailed as the best manager in the game, but the Angels haven’t made the playoffs the past 2 seasons. Now they’re off to a shitty 6-13 start and the natives have grown seriously restless. What in the name of Albert Pujols is going on?
We know this. Scioscia needs to find a way to pencil in Mike Trumbo’s name in the lineup card everyday. No excuse for that. He’s been the club’s best hitter, yet entering today’s contest in Cleveland, he had only half as many at-bats as the struggling Pujols.
