Another day of rain, but this time no two-hour-and-forty-five-minute delay, just a straight-up "it is too rainy." And so Tanner Roark misses his start, and actually probably a bunch of them, in that he has been relegated to the bullpen as "the long guy." With Robbie Ray back from his fall on the stairs whilst carrying a kid (this is really what happened, and I get it), Roark to the pen is for sure the thing to do, but the ghouls on twitter were being extra ghoulish about it all yesterday, and honestly I did not care for it.
It was super neat to see the Angels for a bit! What a fun team! They were always my wife's favourite road team when they would visit in the early Mike Scoscia era (also known as the Chone Figgins era). I didn't realize until this series just now that former Blue Jays coach Brian Butterfield is with the Angels now. Remember when Alfredo Griffin was their first base coach? And that whenever the Angels were in town, Griffin would get a nice little cheer when the base coaches were announced in the second inning? I'd like to think something similar would happen for Brian Butterfield, who, along with just seeming like a pretty likable guy, once collaborated with Moses Sierra on "SierraStopSign.gif," an all-time great piece of electronic art:

Next up: the Yankees again! Everybody in the AL East is 4-5 to start the season except for the 6-3 Red Sox, so with 153 to go, the division remains very much "in play."
