Mike Trout Has Made Seven Outs In His Last Eight Games
There’s no other way to say it: Mike Trout is in Barry Bonds territory. Not merely statistically, as noted by former Deadspinner Emma Baccellieri, who is either dead or at SI now, I forget which. But in the fear he engenders in opponents, who will pitch to him only when they absolutely must....
Mike Trout Doesn't Deserve This Shit
Mike Trout got on base four times against the Diamondbacks on Monday night, thanks to two walks and two singles.

St. Louis Jury Sticks Rams With $12.5 Million Bill For Reggie Bush's "Concrete Ring Of Death" Injury
