Oh that plucky Seattle Mariners bullpen

Ain't nothin' quite like the Seattle Mariners eh?

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The Angels haven't had a comeback win like this in nearly 13 years, and David Aardsma's first blown save of the season enabled them to get it done.

Kendry Morales capped a three-run ninth inning with a bases-loaded single, and Los Angeles overcame a seven-run deficit against an overworked Seattle Mariners bullpen to pull out a wild 9-8 victory on Sunday.

But at least the Angels' win preserved my ESPN Streak for the Cash. We will see how that fares now with the JustSON curse rules now in effect.

With the Mariners losing yesterday, here's how the standings look in the AL West

The Rangers are starting to establish themselves a nice little cushion, and the way that the Angels and Mariners have been playing so far, I wouldn't be surprised to see them battle one another for the Two-Three spot in in the West. Keep in mind that with the exception of this game, Seattle was actually playing very well and almost swept the Angels.
