SATURDAY NITE Game Thread - Maryland Ornithology @ Angels - 6 PM
Steve TRACHSEL versus Joe SAUNDERS
You may also post your O.P.D. Guesses in this thread.
In a 2003 Sunday afternoon interleague game as a Met, Trachsel Rose pitched a 1-hitter against the Angels. David Eckstein had the lone hit. Good news is that nobody from that Angels squad is even with the club today (G.A. is in Rancho on rehab).

Whatever gets you through your life 'salright, 'salright
Do it wrong or do it right 'salright, 'salright
Don't need a watch to waste your time oh no, oh no
Please note that Joe Saunders will be sporting an Angels red "A" cap in this appearance.

Gotta go with Vlad today. He's 18 for 35 with 3HR against Trachsel in his career. That's a good thing.101halo - June 2, 2007

B.O.P.D.
Now that you have Rat Points, why not expand your game to include "Raht" Points as well? Create a Broadcast (B) category with possible questions like:B: Above or Below 49.5...
Number of times Jose Mota will say, "Raht Neow."
or
B: Will Steve Physioc use the phrase "The Wizard of OC" in tonight's broadcast?
Value them at half points, as these are the intangibles that really make up a ballgame yet don't necessarily show up in a box score. These are just a couple of examples, I would be happy to provide other questions to accommodate the many local home viewers within the HalosHeaven community.

Phizz is not a part of the boxscore.Rev Halofan - June 2, 2007
Intangibles...
Hey Rev. Borasfan, I know we gotta sell some advertising here to make bread, but the Sponsors section on the left sidebar is getting outrageously long. It's like a ton of mouse-wheel scrolls before you actually get to the Recent Diaries.Anything you can do about that?
Bilko 420 - June 2, 2007
YES there is something you can do about it
Send me a thousand dollars and i will turn off the blogads!Rev Halofan - June 2, 2007
You sound like Boras!
Bilko 420 almost falls for it...

this is one HOT TOPIC now isn't it?Rev Halofan - June 2, 2007
hey scottnak
i like bilko's idea... can you log the rat points for today to the douche name? i haven't used it for opd so it'd be funny to see how many i can get on there.i don't really want to douchify the opd game putting these on 101halo hah

Does your job involved picling the employee of the month at every mall store?Rev Halofan - June 2, 2007
Haha
The only reason I have two is that originally I signed up I think to just post the gameday links to the spring training games. hadn't intended on continuing to post, so didn't bother getting a real ID.once i got hooked to posting to the site i figured i wanted a real handle. if that's not cool feel free to delete the douche one!
and no, i'm an analyst for the company. numbers kinda guy.
101halo - June 2, 2007
it is cool then
beter you incontrol of the "douche" handle than Bleacher Dave.Rev Halofan - June 2, 2007

That was a nice early inning.
I read other blogs and they say the Angels are just lucky. I don't think it's luck. Except for last year's curse on the gloves.They are not big bombers but they are good more often than bad. I like their chances this year.
1000 Oaks angels fan - June 2, 2007
the really good news
Is that we have a full time catcher in Napoli now. Late last season and early this season made it seem like his hot start was a fluke before scouting reports came out.His minor league numbers did suggest early last season was too good to be true.
It is clear now though that he is capable of making adjustments. I like this Napoli.

PieceOfAase, you duplicated your "D" choice.You are ineligible for the point you recieved, so you actually earned 0 points today.
MistaRaggy, you did the same. But since you didn't score anyway, no change.
