But what will not ambition and revenge
Descend to? Who aspires, must down as low
As high he soared; obnoxious, first or last,
To basest things. Revenge, at first though sweet,
Bitter ere long, back on itself recoils...
Descend to? Who aspires, must down as low

The Angels are looking for revenge today: Bobby Wilson went to the hospital yesterday when Tex railroaded him. Wilson and Tex were teammates back in '08, and they spoke to each other before the game. Both managers called it a clean play, but don't be surprised if the Angels come up and in to a few Yanks today.
Piniero was brilliant against the Yankees last time because I benched him in the Fantasy League. This time I have him starting, so I figure to lose another week.
The Yankees are looking for revenge, too, turning to Andy Pettitte to stop their first losing streak of the season and to even the series at a game a piece. They start the game a half game back of the Rays, and after shaky performances by CC and AJ, they'd like to get back on a tear.
The game is on Fox today, so expect to see a dozen or so replays of the collision. I'm hoping for 2009 ALCS references in at least 7 innings.
For the annual "How long before Buck and McCarver begin fellating Scioscia?" game, my bet is by the the second pitch of the third AB.
