Angels (64-52) @ Yankees (69-45), Wednesday, August 10, 2011, 7:05pm
LAA: (2011, RHP, 0-0, undef) vs. NYY: Ivan Nova (24, RHP, 10-4, 3.81)
The Angels’ dominance over the Yankees has gotten so comical that they’re starting an unnamed pitcher who’s 2011 years old tonight. Congratulations to the unnamed pitcher on his first career start and on being the first pitcher to throw a perfect game in his MLB debut. At 2011 years of age, he’s not likely to have a long career, but at least it’ll be a memorable one.

Comments
I see Nova’s taken a step back in terms of his recent enhanced strikeoutiness.
He struck out Torii Hunter in the seventh, but the ump didn’t call it.
I wouldn’t worry about one game. I thought he pitched pretty well.
Yay Ayala. Yay win.
Don’t tell anyone, but I actually might like this team.
[101] 14-1 GO-AO ratio is pretty nice. More strike outs would be nice though.
I am really enjoying the Granderson Era.
I like the way Girardi actually used Soriano as a fireman.
