Game 112: Now starting for the Angels, Rob Drake.

Rob Drake inserted himself into the starting lineup for the Angels. Only one issue: he isn't on the Angels' 40-man roster. He also decreed that he could take it upon himself to also play Manager and remove the Rangers starting pitcher, Adam Eaton, after only two-thirds of an inning.

How can this be?

He was wearing blue. Umpire blue.

Ugh. What a joke.

(I'll leave the Google searches to Jamey and the scathing commentary to the folks over at the LSB gameday thread.)

We left after 5 innnings and went off to see Talladega Nights instead. The laugher starring Will Ferrell was far better than the one featuring Rob Drake.
