Game Thread - Red Sox at Angels - Lester Vs. Escobar - 7:05 p.m.
Our V-Lefty lineup will hopefully be sans Adam 0-4 Kennedy.
Intentionally Altered Movie Line:
Moreno: Where there is fire, there is smoke. And in that smoke, from this day forward, my people will crouch and conspire and plot and plan for the inevitable day of ESPN's downfall - the day when he finally and self-destructively turns his weapons against his own YankSox coverage. The day of the writing in the sky, when your two cities lie buried under radioactive rubble! When the sea is a dead sea, and the land is a wasteland out of which I will lead my Angels from their captivity! And we will build our own cities in which there will be no place for ESPN except to serve our ends! And we shall found our own armies, our own religion, our own dynasty! And that day is upon you NOW!
No word on whether Brendan Donnelly has dropped his appeal of that noble post-Arlington suspension, but if he could stretch it out until the September 1st roser expansion, it would be a good thing.

By the way, Larry Young...
This is the same cocksucker behind the plate who blew an obvious strike call with Santana on the mound last year, then kicked out Scioscia. The next day, he blew the call where Cabrera tagged up at second after Trot Nixon made the catch going into the right field seats. He called Cabrera out for leaving too soon on a play that wasn't even close.If it wasn't for Eddings, this guy would easily be the worst umpire in baseball. He's a rabbit ears, too, so he's probably worse than Eddings. Eddings is just plain overmatched. Young is both bad and an asshole. That's a bad combination.

yes, but ineffective
The Umps have their own union. MLB and the union are on oposite siders of the table.there are limits to what they can do for discipline, etc.MLB does have a review system. They use it for post season assignments. And they do have a current effort to enforce the strike zone (naturally, resisted by the umps union). But if they try to use their powers to punish or control any ump, the union steps in.

In conjunction with Figgins first name, I mean.

salmon takes the lead.leftwing - August 23, 2006
normally I would argue that
but criminy, he just stood there and looked at all 3 of them-granted the first was a bad call but that last one....swing at least a little bit. Look like you are swinging...sneeze, do something.ladybug - August 23, 2006
If we can't convert a bases-loaded, one-out
situation, then we don't deserve to win this game.cardinalwraith - August 23, 2006
bases loaded 1 out
and he doesn't even get the bat off his shoulders...with one of the biggest strike zones we've had in weeks.leftwing - August 23, 2006
tomorrow
Tomorrow, at BP, what are we practicing?Sacrifice flies
Carl Johnson - August 23, 2006
Cabrera not being able to score there
was bad luck too. Damnit. I wonder who's to blame on that one, him or Ebel, or if it was just a tough read since it landed so close to Hinske.Either way, I might barf.
thewebb - August 23, 2006
hm
i dont know, the all knowing physiocTM said the right fielder is a converted infielder, with that info and cabreras speed, i say send him all the wayANewFoundThrice - August 23, 2006
Salmon
HOW can he take THREE pitches near the strike zone with THE BASES LOADED and ONE OUT? Jeez, man, theres a reason you are standing at home plate with a bat: To give an effort at hitting the ball.MistaRaggy @ Halos Heaven - August 23, 2006
Holy Fucking Shit
Two fucking pitches that close to the fucking strike zone with the fucking bases loaded and down by a fucking run in the fucking 7th inning. You're a fucking 13 year veteran, get the fucking bat off your fucking shoulder and fucking swing.Fuck.

21 LOB
Hold on, let me reemphasize:21 LOB
Carl Johnson - August 23, 2006
we better win this dang game
because THAT would be tough to swallow.thewebb - August 23, 2006
lol
I didn't even know 21 LOB was possible.Carl Johnson - August 23, 2006
wait
wouldn't 21 LOB mean bases loaded every inning? Or do you mean for both teams combined?thewebb - August 23, 2006
have a look-see

oh
Oh I understand your confusion. 10 LOB for the team, but adding player totals.Carl Johnson - August 23, 2006
correction
my gameday says 24 LOBANewFoundThrice - August 23, 2006
so in other words
it's wrong. 7 * 3 = 21That would mean bases loaded every inning. I know it's been close, but no way it's 21 and it can't possibly be 24.
thewebb - August 23, 2006
By 21, do you mean 10?

that's a horseshit strike call
high and outside. Even if you swing, you're f'd.Sweet Figgy! Steal!

Now Izzy, don't do that fade shot to left center. They play you there, they know you hit there.thewebb - August 23, 2006

duckmaster...
if you're using reverse psychology for good luck, thank you.If you're being serious, that's a rediculous statement.
thewebb - August 23, 2006
We really don't deserve to win at this rate.
cardinalwraith - August 23, 2006
dangit
let's shut 'em down and Vladdy and Juan don't just swing for the fences.thewebb - August 23, 2006
if we can just hold 'em and squeak out a run
their bullpen will be screwed in extra innings.thewebb - August 23, 2006
commentary rewind
Phyz - (mildly interesting analysis of how Pappelbon is used to coming out of the pen after just warming up to start the 9th, but tonight had to get all hyped up to get one out in the 8th.)Hud - Excuse me Steve, I have to interrupt. Pappelbon is wearing a jacket!
leftwing - August 23, 2006
nice inning mice titties!!!
Let's go Vlad, this is why we pay you the grande dinero.thewebb - August 23, 2006
Would I be presumptuous
if I said that the next three outs will determine the season?cardinalwraith - August 23, 2006
yes
leftwing - August 23, 2006
yes
i don't see how oakland can continue winning with huston street having problems, esteban loiaza being inconsistent....ANewFoundThrice - August 23, 2006
Unfortunately
It didn't really look like they had a problem tonight, especialy with Loiaza pitching.cardinalwraith - August 23, 2006
Loiaza
hasn't been lousy in his recent starts. He's throwing back in the mid-90's again.scareduck - August 23, 2006
come on Juan
you guys don't need a damn homer, just get on base and get it started.thewebb - August 23, 2006

STOP THAT LOB
Who had the most LOB tonight? That person should get the blame of the game.Vlad sucked. I vote him, although tough to argue against Salmon.

Blame of the game

he was shaky in the first two innings...He faced the minimum for the rest of his 6...

yeah wtf
i'd rather see her talkign to orlando cabrera or getting jered weaver to see what his thoughts are after tonightANewFoundThrice - August 23, 2006
Escobar
still manages to get bad offensive support when he gives up five runs, but somehow still keeps the team in the game.Chronicles - August 23, 2006

When I did the tallying, and the cross-checking, I got messed up moving cardinalwarith and darkangel01 up to 2 pts each, and ended up doing too much text deletion. Thanks for catching my error.
