LOS ANGELES - As decisions go, this one was a some-brainer.
Not a lot of brain was needed, just some, meaning the Angels had the perfect man for the job.
Sorry, that's an unfair, unnecessary and inaccurate dig at Manager Mike Scioscia, who's generally a bright light in a profession where the bulb has been known to go dim.
To be honest, Scioscia understands more about rosin bags than we understand about baseball in its entirety.
A career catcher, the guy knows squat.
And even we would have removed Jered Weaver on Saturday night despite the pitcher potentially holding history in his right hand.
Trailing 1-0, Weaver was benched in favor of a pinch hitter in the bottom of the seventh inning even though he still had a no-hitter going.
"You're out there trying to win a game," Scioscia said. "That's what matters."
Weaver held the Dodgers hitless through six but was unable to hold them run-less, his error leading to a fifth-inning score that ultimately would gave the home team a 1-0 victory.
He was replaced by Jose Arredondo, who retired all six Dodgers he faced, three by strikeout.
The Freeway Series has given us a lot over the years. On Saturday, it gave us the No Way Game, no way the Dodgers won despite not even getting a hit.
It's true, and you now can look it up, history featuring just four other examples in baseball's modern era of a team winning with no hits.
Before the first pitch, Scioscia had lamented the Angels offense "not hitting on all cylinders." And then this happens; they can't even win when they're on the right side of a no-hitter.
