Patient hitting tonight
De La Rosa has minimal control, and we can rack up the walks and runs if the hitters are healthy.

I'm new to this site, its awesome!

Go Angels!

your handle is kewl
Welcome
Nice Handle.

Note that with this new poster we have gone over 1,100 registered site users. Woot!

I like how well you keep track of these things.
I would too if my blog was getting so much traffic.  Pretty damn cool.
Gotta Keep Track
So many haters and pretenders out there, when you are number one, you gotta be able to just whip it out and shut 'em up.Call it the  John Holmes school of business management.
Or Nick the Dick
well
this site definitely blows away my previous mix of posting on espn forums and surfing angelsbaseball.com

ugh.

Welcome to Heaven
Distinguished School of Business
Dear REV. I wonder how many of our younger generation can appreciate the virtues of the Holmes School of Business Management. You could have been more subtle about play on words. One of the senior member of the Halos Heaven readers.
Would you have preferred
a Ron Jeremey ethics course as a pre-requisite?
L I N E U P
Gary Matthews CF
Reggie Willits RF
Orlando Cabrera SS
Vladdy Guerrero DH
Robb Quinlan LF
Shea Hillenbrand 1B
Erick Aybar 2B
Mike Napoli C
Chone Figgins 3B
Ugh
Is Kotch against lefties really THAT much worst than Shea against ANYONE??  He needs to play every day.  
At the moment, yes
2007: .071/.235/.071 vs LHP, .288/.338/.493 vs RHP
2005: .250/.344/.250 vs LHP, .286/.355/.551 vs RHP

I don't include his mono-hobbled 2006 season.

I agree
But I am more concerned about Shea on defense.  Kotch has been nails and turns potential errors into outs.  
Welcome to ANGELS STADIUM!
Tonight's game at HOME for the Angels at ANGELS STADIUM should be great.   Live from ANAHEIM, this game will be underway shortly.  Should be a fine match up here at ANGELS STADIUM, the HOME park of the Angels.

Hey, gotta try something. LOL

You Do That VooDoo that You Do
So well...

Hopefully Ervin takes it to heart...

If only Ervin were color-blind
Man I hate it
when the umpires make teams play through rain.
Wow
Okay, so I'm just gonna come right out and admit it.  I laughed at that FSN commercial with Rex chasing after the van.
Ha
Jose Mota: "Shea's been spending a lot of time with Mickey Hatcher in those cages."

Shea then promptly strikes out on 3 pitches.

pitchers best friend
DP's 4.5, under or over?
that ump needs to lose
some pounds so he can get out of the way.
Maybe he should try Ultra Slim Fast shakes
A shake for breakfast
A shake for lunch
..something something for dinner

(It's the stuff Lasorda used to push.  Even had Scioscia in one of the commercials.)

josh beckett sucks
Rain Sux
And the fireworks fog does not help either..
royals announcers
I like them a lot.
naps!
Cue Jane's Addiction
been caught stealing
ONCE
when I played the Angels...
Wow
how important is that CS now???

ANSWER: Very.

BEEN CAUGHT SWINGING
once
When Ervin blew it by me...
De La Rosa is on his game
He's pitched well this year.  He's no Seo.
Called shot: Nap hits one out in the 5th
lol
If he would have bunted one out, that would have been impressive.
Hey, Fan Since 1981
Your voodoo seems to be working. So far.
Off Topic Geography Question
Why is Kansas City in Missouri?
Why is West Virginia north of Virginia?
hurricanes are strong!!!!! LOL
there is one
in kansas, too...
Yep
They're facing each other with a river in between. They count as one metropolitan area in two different states.
Trivia Conspiracy
It's there to nail people! Rahaha.
figs gets a
RBI. always nice to get on the board first.
Sing with me!
Your own ... personal ... DeJesus ...
Not liking Santana at 90+ pitches
Has anybody heard
anything re Aybar's brother?   Has he come out of hiding?  Is he in rehab?
Nope
Makes you wonder why the Dodgers were so eager to move him.
EXHALE
Santana somehow avoids a road meltdown with pressure.

So what we learn is that for Santana to have success on the road, he needs

  1. low attendance
  2. bad weather
...and a red jersey!
Thanks for the color
It doesn't come through too well on the radio.
Runners hurt
twice in this series we have saved a run by a KC baserunner pulling up lame.
what the hell was that?
anyone watching the mlb.tv feed? Who the hell was that fat dude eating stuff in some booth?
and
they leave him in too long.
Welp
You just knew that was gonna happen.

Good game, anyway, Ervin.

step 1
hit.
hit again.
score.
win.
and i knew that would
happen.
Line on Oliver
When does he get released?
Lefty "specialist"
No more lefty junk.  Romero.  Oliver.  Bring back McClure if anything.
Bah
Just abandon the whole having a lefty no matter how bad just to have a lefty in the pen.
Exactly.
All righty pen did pretty good in 2004 and 2005.
Piazza leaves Boston game
A's DH Mike Piazza left the Boston game after a collision with Mike Lowell.

     Mike Piazza left Wednesday night's game against the Boston Red [Sox] with an apparent shoulder injury.

    The Oakland Athletics' designated hitter was attempting to dive for third base when he collided with Red Sox third baseman Mike Lowell. Lowell appeared to roll over Piazza's arm, pinning his shoulder to the ground.

    Lowell's tag was the final out of the inning, but Piazza laid on the ground for several minutes, clutching his shoulder in pain before being helped off the field.

If it weren't for the fact that this is the Royals
I'd say this game is over.
I would say game over now
if we can't even score against Brandon Duckworth.
Even the best teams lose 60 games a year
I'll count this one towards the 60.
Hillenbrand to the rescue....
2-run homer to tie it :-)  please.....
not with this at bat....
Doh!
Well
I think that is officially now the smallest crowd I've ever seen at a ballgame.  Maybe 1,000 people?  Haha
So much for that
Hang this one on the offense.  Santana actually kept them in it.
Royals win! And the fan goes wild.
Never good to lose.
But at least Speier, Shields and K-Rod got the night off; they needed the rest.  The offense also took the night off to rest.
santana
was left in a bit too long.

who's this stupid person with rex on angels live?

Heh...
Yeahh. What a downer.
I dont recall seeing a defensive sub. nor did Vladdy get an RBI. So... here you go. If there's a mistake, go ahead and post....
