ANAHEIM - Hey, Mike Scioscia, please, please, please start Juan Rivera in Game 2 over Gary Matthews Jr.

Not Reggie Willits, as our man Bill Plunkett has suggested, but Juan Rivera.

Why Scioscia doesn’t play Rivera more always has been a mystery. Unlike most of the Angels - especially in the most recent postseasons - Rivera actually can produce an extra-base hit and might even hit a ball over the fence. Image that.

And forget that righty-righty crap. Yes, Boston is starting a right-hander in Game 2. For his career against lefties, Rivera is hitting .284. For his career against righties, Rivera is hitting .284.

Start him, Scioscia. Start him now.
