Tonight's lead-off game features the Rangers and the Halos in an AL West showdown.

LEAD-OFF HOME RUN QUESTION for one run and control of the board: Who is the last pitcher to throw a shutout in the World Series? That's Shane... "Josh Beckett." In Game 6 of the 2003 World Series. Angels lead, 1-0.

1st Inning: FILLING UP THE BOX SCORE (12 players with a 30/30 season in the 1990s). Shane gets the open board if he decides to use the Big Inning. He's risking the run for two more. For three... Alex Rodriguez... Vladimir Guerrero... is not right. Shane's still up, 1-0.

2nd Inning: DUSTIN OFF THE SECOND BASEMEN (16 most starts at 2B in 2011 AFTER Dustin Pedroia). Chuck times out, and Shane gets another run, giving him a 2-0 lead.

3rd Inning: DO 80 STEALS EQUAL 20 RUNS? (12 players with 80+ steals in a season since 1900 OTHER than Vince Coleman). Shane gets another two, widening the gap, 4-0.

4th Inning: ALWAYS LOOK ON THE RIGHT SIDE (14 most hits by active right-handed hitters OTHER than Manny Ramirez). Another time-out by Chuck, and Shane brings one home, giving the Angels the lead, 5-0.

5th Inning: MAKE MINE A TRIPLE (20 most triples from 2000 to 2011). Chuck misses another inning, and the Rangers are giving this game away, 6-0.

6th Inning: CONE-Y ISLAND SKIPPERS (Not counting Mike Cubbage, 12 managers that David Cone pitched for). Another inning, another run for Shane, and the Angels are owning this, 7-0.

7th Inning: FENWAY FIRST BASEMEN (18 Red Sox Opening Day 1B since 1967 OTHER than George Scott). Chucko finally gets off the schneid with two. Will he try to double it? Nope. Angels still lead, 7-2.

8th Inning: LET'S GET IT STARTED IN TAMPA (8 Rays pitchers to start a game in 2011). Chuck gets two more to make it a ballgame, 7-4, going into...

9TH INNING: 19 PITCHERS THE MOST WINS FROM 2000 TO 2009. Shane starts it at 3... and ends it at 6. We need all six for an Angels win. Mike Mussina... Greg Maddux... Randy Johnson... Javier Vazquez... Tim Hudson... and to win, Roy Halladay is a WINNER for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, 13-4! Angels Baseball Foundation wins $5000, and we'll see Shane in the round of 16.


In the nightcap... it's the Cards and the Cubbies in a renewal of the I-55 Rivalry.

Brian Finch - STL
stadium tours & museum outreach
Cardinals Care
Ryan Balogh - CHC
account executive in corporate partnership
Chicago Cubs Charities

Thanks to an early Big Inning, it's a 10-run game to the Cubs (C-Note: no, Hell has not frozen over), 12-2. At the bottom of the 9th... 20 players with the MOST GAMES PLAYED WITH THE LOS ANGELES DODGERS. Ryan passes to Brian, who starts with 10. So this is to force Sudden Death. Maury Wills, Steve Garvey, Kirk Gibson... is NOT THERE! Ryan wins it for Chi-Town, 22-2. Five large going to the Chicago Cubs Charities.

Daniel Goddard's stopping in for another stint as one of Drew's ... ... models. There ya go. Also stopping in, Jeremy Vellon, Lori Chamberlin, Patrick Mazuca, and Dejoie Poellnitz. They start us off with a sextet of Jessica Simpson shoes. They're $726, and they're Dejoie's. These boots were made for playing PLINKO! With chips from Drew, a $60 yogurt maker, a $50 toaster oven, and a $17 popcorn popper, she wins... NOTHING! The real heartbreaker, at least one of those was an in-and-out.

Cynthia Fernandez goes in-and-out with a $999 gas range. She wants a spa. How about a steam shower and a home gym instead? The 1 Right Price: $5237. She's going for the shower... and that's the win!

Patrick picks up a $1380 smartphone with service. Now to pull an $875 luggage set, a $28 water bottle, and a $645 Stella McCartney bag for a 2012 Chevrolet Sonic. The first number: 1. The last number: 4. Now Line'em Up. First guess is $17,254... ON THE MONEY!

But Cynthia would oust him in the Showdown action. Lori meanwhile gets a $1899 camera. Now take it to China if you win Pick-a-Pair. Spike's Salsa... $2.49. Cinnamon Toast Crunch Milk'n'Cereal bars... $3.59. She ditches that for Sunsweet Plum Amazins... $2.49 is a winner! She's going to the Ocean Race!

Brian Condin is another one-and-done with a $720 set of Kobo eReaders. Can he read the price of a 2012 Ford Focus in Lucky Seven? The board reads $24,97_ with $2 in hand. He says 5... and the evil 1 shows up.

Jeremy has one more shot at it with a karaoke. The price: $939. Winner... Kerry Michaliewicz. Now will she be entertained with a sofa and HDTV in Freeze Frame? She closes it at $5289... and she's a closer!

Lori meets Cynthia in the Showcase. First up, you can take some cowboy boots to the centennial Calgary Stampede, AND come home to a Toyota Tacoma. Top winner Lori bids $24,000. Cynthia gets to enjoy the outdoor paradise of a patio group, a trip to Tahiti, and a sailboat. She tags it at $33,500. Actual price: $36,442, a difference of $2942. Actual price of Lori's Showcase... $25,329 to win with a difference of $1329. She's your big winner today with $46,146.

  Gene Hult (New York, NY) gets things going today with $43,600 through 7 questions. He still has ATA and a Jump.

He jumps the 8th question, which had $7,000, then faces this...

[Q9 - Scooby Song]
Scooby-Doo's name was inspired by a lyric from what Frank Sinatra song?
A: Strangers in the Night
B: That's Life
C: My Way
D: Fly Me to the Moon

Gene had been listening to some Sinatra songs lately. He's sure that it's not C, and he doesn't think it's B. He then asks the audience, and 83% say A. He goes with that, and they're right, adding... $1,000 to his total, making it $44,600!

Afterwards, he gets $15,000 from the 10th question to finish Round 1 with a total of $59,600! Let's see how he does in Round 2...

[$100,000]
Having failed to return two books to the New York Society Library, what president owes more than $300,000 in overdue fines?
A: George Washington
B: John Adams
C: Thomas Jefferson
D: James Madison

After some thought, Gene isn't sure enough, so he walks. The answer is A, and he leaves with $59,600!

Courtney Harris (New York, NY)
She moved to New York from Georgia 4 months earlier.

With $35,000 banked from the first 2 questions, she sees this...

[Q3 - Mars Bars]
What is the title of the Bruno Mars hit that opens "Today I don't feel like doing anything"?
A: The Love Song
B: The Party Song
C: The Lazy Song
D: The Car Song

Having no idea, Courtney turns to the audience. 92% are saying C. She trusts them, and that gives her... $3,000 more for a total of $38,000!

She then jumps the 4th question, leaving behind just $500. After that, she build her bank all the way up to $67,100 before jumping the 10th, leaving behind $1,000. That gets her into Classic Millionaire...

[$100,000]
Introduced in 1966, what would the approximate value of a 100 Grand candy bar be today if its name was adjusted for inflation?
A: 600 Grand
B: 700 Grand
C: 800 Grand
D: 900 Grand

Courtney has no clue, so she walks. After seeing that it's B, she leaves with $67,100!
