Friends take the mound

John Lackey faces old friend/former roommate Jared Washburn tonight at Angel Stadium.
Lackey, July's AL Pitcher of the Month, will need to be sharp to beat the Mariners. He's been a little erratic lately, but I'm looking for him to be rock solid tonight!

Washburn is struggling with a 6-11 record and above 4.30 ERA. Lackey hasn't had the success he had last year, but has pitched well and gotten some no-decisions. He's 10-9 and has 3.35 ERA.

Look for the Angels to be hitting and have a good night-- I'll be at the game and will report on it later tonight!

WOO HOO !!! Go Halos!
