I have two rules about leaving games.

1. I leave if we are down by more than 10 runs.

2. I leave if it rains.

Beyond that, I stick it out.

fair enough. i always laugh at people who leave the game in the 8th when the home team is only down by a couple runs.

Rain and baseball do not mix. Ha Ha!

Angels vs. White Sox again tonight.

Danks goes for the Sox - he has yet to win this season.

Piniero for the Angels - he is making only his second start of the season.

Vernon Wells went on the 15-day DL with a groin strain last night. That might actually help us - he was hitting .178.

Angels got lit up last night. Nice park though. There was a loud mouth White Sox fan that got kicked out in the 7th. That was fun. Overall, it was a nice evening.

I don't leave MLB games early for any reason. Ever. I always stay. I went to a Cardinals vs Reds game once and was about to break my rule because it was 6-0 Reds (home team). I started walking and at the last minute decided to sit and watch the last half inning. Cardinals won 7-6.
