Quote of the day
"I went out on the ball and saw the ball into his glove in the stands. He disappeared into the stands and I believed that the ball was in his glove. In hindsight, I should have asked him to show me the ball since he fell into the stands and out of my line of vision." -- Third base umpire Mike DiMuro, who didn't realize the ball hit off Dewayne Wise's glove and fell for a souvenir until he saw a replay after the game.

Daily blurb
Albert Pujols went deep again last night, his 12th dinger of the season. While April’s .569 OPS seems a distant memory now, he still hasn’t fully regained form. This was only his 4th HR in June, and although he has a more “Pujolsian” ratio line of .388/.566/.944 this month, even that is still not up to his career averages. Nevertheless, the Angels have recovered nicely, only 4.5 games behind Texas, and already in position for a wild card slot. At the end of April, they were 7 games below .500 (8-15), and looking like a complete washout.

The AT&T National tees off tomorrow morning in Bethesda, MD. Make sure your GuruGolf foursomes are set by 7am ET.
