Game Underway

The Angels and Rangers are underway, and the Rangers take the lead 3-0 in the bottom of the first. Michael Young picks up his 198th hit of the season, and Sammy Sosa hits his 21st home run of the season, a shot to deep right center.

So was signing Sosa worth it? His OBA is .309 and his slugging percentage is .464 after the homer. It seems you should be able to find a DH better than that. It's not surprising they've made him a part time player.

Update: Gary Matthews is playing with a bad ankle, and he appears to have aggravated the injury catching a deep drive by Nelson Cruz. He looked like he wanted to leap, then just took a little jump, caught the ball, return to earth and crumpled to the ground. He was limping off the field when they went to commercial.

Update: Matthews is out of the game.
