I just happened to look in on the scores this afternoon and saw that Colon was pitching for the Angels, after 3 days rest, and had only given up 1 run in 8 innnings. Unfortunately, he was pitching against Westbrook who had given up 0 runs after 8 innings. So I was watching the ninth inning on Yahoo and Westbrook is pitching the top of the ninth and he gives up 2 earned runs before the side is retired. Now, I’m worried, will the Angels bring in Colon to get the complete game? If he’s tired, he could easily give up the winning runs. Or will the Angels bring in a reliever, meaning that Colon has the win in the reliever’s grasp. If the reliever fails Colon doesn’t get the win, but he won’t get the loss or any earned runs either. What will happen? The Reliever is in.

(Play-by-play for bottom half of the ninth.)

– B. Molina at designated hitter
– J. Paul catching
– S. Shields relieved B. Colon
– B. Broussard struck out swinging
– C. Blake grounded out to shortstop
– J. Gerut struck out looking

0 runs, 0 hits, 0 errors
LA Angels 2, Cleveland 1

Colon gets the win. Shields did a pretty good job relieving there, got the save. Unfortunately, the Dingleberries already have him.
