The Tampa Bay Devil Rays of Tropicana Florida versus YOUR Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
Official Game Thread for your comments, questions, predictions and socializing
Game 1 of a 3 Game series, 7:05 p.m. start in Anaheim, California
Doug Waechter (4-6, 5.28 ERA) faces Paul Byrd (9-7, 4.09 ERA)
Now that the bullpen is rested, perhaps we can give them a small lead to come in and protect. Meanwhile, the Oakland Green Beanies are in Kansas City.
My Runs-n-Hits picks: LAA: 7/13, TBD: 2/8
Random music selection from my ipod for tonight's game:
I'm Not Your Steppin' Stone (Live) Sid Vicious Live
When I first met you, you didn't have no shoes
Now you're walking 'round like you're front page news.
You've been awful careful 'bout the friends you choose
But you won't find my name in your book of Who's Who.

I really like that lineup
Except maybe with Rivera instead of DaVanon. Though, with both Mac and Erstad out, I suppose the lefty makes sense.Pearly Gates - August 5, 2005
why is L/R so important?
even though the L/R matchup is "favorable," why do you take at-bats away from better hitters? shouldn't you have your best hitters hit more? then again, it's not like rivera's tearing it up, either.yeswecan - August 5, 2005
Look at the splits
or at least have faith that Maddon did...Rev Halofan - August 5, 2005
vs. Right
Rivera: .259/.295/.517DaVanon:.200/.314/.267
But by the looks of things, Mike made the right choice.
Pearly Gates - August 5, 2005
I'm not saying it's all that important
I'm saying that Mike Scioscia thinks it's important.But like you said, it doesn't matter either way, so I'm not going to get up-in-arms about it.

Steve Physioc
spends the whole season kissing Steve Finley's ass and making excuses for the lousiest most pathetic overpaid has-been in baseball.But Figgy is caught stealing third and Steve cannot stop dogging him.
Hey Steve, why not just bring the white hood to work with you.
Rev Halofan - August 5, 2005
EASY, rev
i think we'll need more concrete evidence than that if you expect us to start calling him the Grand Phyzard...yeswecan - August 5, 2005
LOL
The Grand Phyzard might be the funniest thing i have ever read/heard on this site.Let's go Redskins!
cupie - August 5, 2005
Grand Phyzard it is...
It's too good not to use.Pearly Gates - August 5, 2005
I spoke to soon
and i apologize to Steve Physioc - it is obvious what he is doing is tailoring his announcing to critiquing any play outside of conventional baseball logic - he is AUDITIONING for OTHER TEAMS - keep it up PHYZZ, you got three months more at the max...Rev Halofan - August 5, 2005
Auditions
I have to agree, and if he really is auditioning, I hope he does well enough to wind up anywhere else. Good luck guy.... worst case scenario... you blow it, no one signs you, and your get stuck with just USC or whatever you do in the offseason.Zookeeper - August 5, 2005
A's win
Pearly Gates - August 5, 2005
Wow
Physioc and Hudler are so fucking retarded.Nick Green strikes out looking and Physioc says, "Green walks with one out. Walks have hurt the ... uh, oh, he struck out. AHAHAA."
Then Hudler says, "He knew it. It was right down the middle of the plate on the outside corner."
Idiots.
WiseAndEck - August 5, 2005
Are You...
Shitting me. Did i just see JR throw out the first pitch? Lame, Lame, Lame.cupie - August 5, 2005
Kotchman goes yard
Well that's unexpected.Pearly Gates - August 5, 2005
Hey Wayne
F U ... Kotchman goes yard.cupie - August 5, 2005
Grand Phyzard...
There he goes defending his boy Finley again.When Rex Hudler is the voice of reason, something is seriously amiss.
