Because spanking the rally monkey WAS shockingly funny. Those Thunderstix (ugh) failed to do their work and it was the Angels bullpen that collapsed while Tito’s Timlin-Myers-Foulke combination went about their job perfectly. Trot coming through with the single in the 9th was huge, and the OC driving in runs in the OC (making up for the defensive miscue and the failed bunt) - that’s good, relentless hitting. No letup in our lineup, and Pedro had a great game, marred only by cheapie hits. True, Bellhorn had the bases-loaded gaffe, but heck, he got on base to get Mueller in position to score beforehand. And there’s no way I can be churlish - the Angels had their own share of baserunning issues, and heck, this was a 6-run game.
Back to the music! From the Pixies…
If man is 5 (if man is 5…)
then the Devil is 6 (then the Devil is 6…)
then God is 7 (then God is 7)
This monkey’s gone to heaven…
