9:27 Mathis provides the first Angels hit, a quick single.

9:28 He flies through the air with the greatest of ease, the daring young man on the flying tra–oh, that’s just Alex Gonzalez, making a relatively routine play.  Wow.

9:29 THANKS TBS.  Now I know what RISP are.  Now explain what “scoring position” means.  Or better yet, “runners!”

9:31 Lester has adorable elf ears.  That is all the news that’s fit to print.

9:32 Figgins is the third K.  Told you they were coming.

9:35 Abreu draws his second walk.  Crowd goes nuts.  Everyone else is clearly as bored as we are.

9:38 Roommate asks if liveblog has mentioned the bananas foster we are about to make.  Crowd goes nuts.  Everyone is less bored now.

9:40 Second roommate, who just walked in, admits this is, in fact, kinda boring.  And he’s from the Midwest, so he knows from boring.

9:41 The bases are loaded.  With two outs.  Are we excited yet? We actually can’t tell.  John Farrell, aka Future Indians Manager, is chatting with him.

9:42 No grand slams this year?  “Well, who on the Angels hits homeruns?  Just Guerrero.  Oh. There’s Guerrero.”  (We have really attentive friends, clearly.)

9:43 That was, perhaps, a bit of a high swing. Moving on now.
