The Massachussets Laundry of Boston vs. The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
Official Game Thread
Ervin Santana vs. Bronson Arroyo
Ervin Magic is truly an inspiring addition to the season. He factors in as a fabulous #4 in next season's rotation.
Perhaps picking up a World Series MVP between now and then boosts him to our #3 guy.
Runs y Hits Pique: LAA 8/14; BOS 2/3
Let's get physical, physical
I wanna get physical
Let me hear your body talk, your body talk.

Erstad hits fifth again? Where did this COME from?Sean @ Halos Heaven - September 7, 2005
He must contribute TONIGHT
if erstad can't protect vlad tonight, he's got to be moved. this is his last chance, in my book.yeswecan - September 7, 2005

Pearly Gates - September 7, 2005
Don't look now....
... but it's 7-7 in Oakland. Still nobody out, runners on first and second. The kinda game that could turn a season around....mattwelch - September 7, 2005
It's over
A's win, 8-7, on a bases loaded 3-2 walk. Bad omen.mattwelch - September 7, 2005
Well, shit.
Pearly Gates - September 7, 2005
a true Yahoo
judging from Arroyo's photo on Yahoo Sports, combined with the fact he's on a team with tall red socks, my conclusion is that he looks like a clown. Literally.yeswecan - September 7, 2005
But the Angels signed...
... the grandson of a real clown as their 2005 first round draft pick (Trevor Bell). So the bozo quotient on both sides is about the same.scareduck - September 7, 2005

Should the Sox have kept Cabrera?
Judging by today's results, I'd be tempted to say "yes"...scareduck - September 7, 2005
oh no you don't
If you start jumping on the Cabrera bandwagon, I'ma knock you right off it.mattwelch - September 7, 2005
How likely is he to actually be useful...
... to the Angels, though? I have no intentions of forgetting his general suckiness.scareduck - September 7, 2005
c'mon guys, come join me
i've been on it all season -- there's LOTS of room! c'mon, now, it'll be fun!yeswecan - September 7, 2005
No thanks
... I'm driving.scareduck - September 7, 2005
Benjie took a hit on his right foot
Bery, bery bad for a right handed hitter; it'll tend to convince him to put his weight on his front foot, screwing up his swing.scareduck - September 7, 2005
That might explain everything
Hud sez he's good friends with Bruce Hornsby.mattwelch - September 7, 2005
wha?
what does bruce hornsby have to do with anything? does bengie play piano with his feet or something?yeswecan - September 7, 2005
The "reply" function is indicated....
... when you've got one of them indent deals. Ergo, the Hud-Hornsby alliance helps explain not Bengie's club feet, but rather why it is that two grown men can be so truly horrid.mattwelch - September 7, 2005
Damn walks
Come on, Ervin, throw strikes, dammit!scareduck - September 7, 2005
CRAP CRAP CRAP
Nobody out bases loaded and Ortiz up.Thanks Jeff DaVanon for that piece of brilliant fielding.
scareduck - September 7, 2005
Whew
for a second there, i thought you were going to say, "THE SKY IS FALLING! THE SKY IS FALLING!"yeswecan - September 7, 2005
What color is the sky...

Optimism is YESWECAN's heroin and he needs a few fixes a day.Rev Halofan - September 7, 2005
haha
oh really?if this season were truly over -- as both of you have claimed ad nauseum -- then exactly what are you doing here on this blog? are you masochists? or do you still hold a shred of hope that the angels will make the playoffs?
who's the true optimist here?
yeswecan - September 7, 2005
OP
not claiming to be an optimist.just a realist.
Finley sucks, Scioscia's dumb, Physioc is in love with the sound of his own voice. The basics.
Rev Halofan - September 7, 2005
... and the radio guys aren't much better
"If DaVanon would have played every day he probably would have made that play," etc. How many times on a baseball field does it take to realize the centerfielder owns every short popup he can get to?mattwelch - September 7, 2005
Walks come up to kill him
The kid is going to have to learn to pitch on the road.scareduck - September 7, 2005
Well, the strikeout was nice
Too bad Larry Young didn't agree.Pearly Gates - September 7, 2005
consider
batting Kotchman #5. i used to not be a fan of his, but now i think he can hit.yeswecan - September 7, 2005
Wow
Did Hud just say that the non-call on Ortiz's check swing "opened up a can of runs?"WiseAndEck - September 7, 2005
Ah, the moment of truth
Is Jason Christiansen worth having on the roster? Or is David Ortiz capable of taking him out of the park like a sissy girl?scareduck - September 7, 2005
Heh
Christiansen gets Big Papi to pop out, but walks ... Trot Nixon.scareduck - September 7, 2005
So much promise, so little results
Tonight started very well, but then devolved into business-as-usual at the plate for the Halos.yeswecan - September 7, 2005
Whatever happened...
... to that vaunted optimism?scareduck - September 7, 2005
like i said many times
i'm calling it as i see it. but i can also see how my balanced outlook may seem extremely optimistic in the face of such overblown negativism on this blog.cupie was right when he noted in a recent game thread that it gets awfully quiet around here when the angels play a good game. why do you think that is, Mr. Sunshine?
