ATTENTION ANGEL FAN (Brian Pham): As already posted by my boss, the Angels have acquired perennial power hitter Mark Teixeira in exchange for the mildly disappointing Casey Kotchman and a minor league pitching prospect. Kotchman, always patient and disciplined at the plate, should receive some blame for an often subdued Angel offense. The aggressive bat of Teixeira should remedy this problem in a jiffy.
In his 15th attempt, the Mad Dog Greg Maddux finally wins his career 351st game. In a completely unspectacular performance, Maddux gave up 9 hits and 4 runs in 5 innings, barely even qualifying for the decision. But considering his TEN previous quality starts that the Padres failed to win for him, I think he deserves this one.
After initially deciding to postpone shoulder surgery and to instead rehab his shoulder to possibly return for the playoffs, Jorge Posada changes his mind and decides to end his 2008 season by having surgery on his right shoulder. If the Yankees do end up making the playoffs, the recent acquisition of Xavier Nady should lighten the devastation of losing Posada.
San Diego Padres pitcher Chris Young made his first appearance on the mound since having his face crushed (literally) by an Albert Pujols (seriously, of all people to get hit by, Pujols?!) line drive.
