Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Game 140/162

Angels at White Sox

Official Game Thread - POST IT HERE

Washburn v. Buerhrehlhe

Folks, we are half-way through the laundry.
If that bumper-faced Larry Young isn't umpiring, I gotta figure we can get to the semi-slumping Central-leading Sox.

Runs/Hits Picks: LAA: 6/11, CHI: 2/7

How many times have you heard someone say,
"If I had his money, I could do things my way."
But little they know that it's so hard to find
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind.

Start of series musical roll call
Two straight cities with music worth listening to:

Alkaline Trio
Naked Raygun
Wilco
Liz Phair
Veruca Salt
Material Issue
Waco Brothers
Curtis Mayfield
Not to mention birthplace of Exene Cervenka and Roger McGuinn

Plus about 10,000 crappy bands that got their shit together long enough to play an early set at Empty Bottle, then broke up when the drummer got a job.

Sausage and mushroom at Pizzaria Due:  4/11
Unidentifiable orange glop at Valois Cafeteria: 3/8

He said "I ain't lookin' for trouble
"But I know what you came here to do
"I ain't looking for trouble."
And I said "trouble has come lookin' for you."

Game 140, not 130
The Molina Brothers: 9/15
The Blues Brothers: 3/7

(fyi Rev, i had to change this game # (and all the others since you've been back) because your "auto-fill" subject line was not up-to-date. this is Game 140, not Game 130 (as this thread used to read).)

Thanks dude

WTF?
Seriously?
Let's Go, Everybody!
Are you ready for the ZACH ATTACK???? i'm glad scioscia is resting kennedy, because we've got to save him for the games that REALLY matter. [rolls eyes]
Sorensen
has a hit in three at bats versus Buerhlehehehe

so maybe there is a mthod to Scioscia's madness.

I said MAYBE...

scioscia's madness?
don't make me add your "horse's head" blast to your Asinine Quote list.
Sorensen nabs Osuna
You were saying?
Green?
WTF are the Sox wearing?
green?
i thought i went colorblind. looks green to me too
hitting
4 singles in a row!
This, by the way...
... is not necessarily a good thing, i.e., where's the power?
More guys running on Vlad this year?
Is it just me or does it seem like more guys are running on Vlad this year?
appeal
the angels should appeal on that last play..it looked alot like the play yesterday
Hooooly shit
That punchout call on Iguchi was way worse than the Ortiz non-call.
What they really need
... is a skyward-facing set of low-power lasers at the edge of the plate. You couldn't see it unless something crossed the plate, like a bat or a ball.
What was that about Juan Rivera?
GIDP.  Thppt.
13 GIDP
1 less than Vladdie in half as many games.

Rivera = the suq

(although knowing this you could have put Erstad into motion, Scioscia)

Washburn makes the case
... for him pitching in Milwaukee next year.
Washburn
79 pitches, 4 runs, 4 innings.

But we are still in it and the WS have scored all the runs they can for the series!

The fear is...
... so have the Angels.
Sorensen makes himself useful
Nice double, kid.  Are they going to toss that ball in?

Figgy doubles him in.  Good to see, especially with no outs.

Could be better...
... but four straight hits and two runs is pretty decent considering how badly they Halos have hit lately.
Q Q Q Q
That would be the fourth dinger by Q. Good show, bench!
Hold Your Breath
It is Esteban Yan...
better than..
donnelly
Sean the mindreader
How so?
You read my fuckin mind
Yan better than Donkey
Appellation confusion
That was Sam, not me.
That ices it
Saunders starts tomorrow.
colon
i thought there was still a chance he might pitch..phys and hud obviously dont think so..
Not sure
Well, it's not cast in stone.  I think the Angels would prefer Colon stay off the mound today if they can have him for two or three more starts through the end of the season.  Will Carroll thinks he might start but be on a five inning leash.
I'm warming up to this Sorensen kid
Here comes Bobby Jenks to put the kibosh on the rally. Hope you're taking notes, Stoneman.

Er, nope, it's Neil Cotts.

If
Bart Feels good, he goes.
GA can't catch up to Jenks' fastball
Get those arthritis meds out...
I keep waiting for Vlad's resurgence
... and it keeps... not... happening.
Not Vlad
No protection, no pitches to hit.
Thanks, Stoneman
... for letting Jenks get away.  Dammit.

The only way Stoneman evades this one -- and please, I'm not wishing this on the kid -- is if Jenks' elbow falls apart soon.

Jenks
headcase.
good right now, but good riddance.
Hasn't been a headcase
for a couple of years now. Fatherhood seems to have chilled him considerably.
We'll see
Jenks reminds me of Donnelly, plus a few mph.

Esky's done his job.  Let's get some runs!

Zach-tacular!
Hopefully Jenks is out now.  A run!  Just!  One!  Run!
jenks
still in
Action Zach-tion
Nice.
kotchman
at least he didnt strike out
The Don
almost had a strike on that first pitch-out
wow juan
what a throw
that was absolutely beautiful
Last out First up
When did Vlad cut his hair?
Maybe thats the problem
Sweeeeeeeet
Nice slide and bunt
Man oh man
Vlad is a freaking force of nature.  The normal rules don't apply.
Sweeeet
Awesome play! Now never try that shit ever again...
Vlad scores form 2nd on a bunt
never seen that

thirty years watching baseball, never seen that.

Almost...
as bizarre as a Molina scoring from second on a single
this is...
by far the best angels' game of the year...
wow...
how about 'dem apples...
Who are you...
...and what did you do with Frankie Rodriguez?

Not that I care... just curious is all...

Nicely done
Attaboys to Escobar, Yan, and Frankie out of the pen and Rivera in the field.
