Random Song Lyrics
Nobody knows what human life is.
Why we come, why we go.
So why then do I know
I will see you,
I will see you in far off places?
Which Angel is most struggling to get his swing back?

Hillenwatch '07
The Angels are halfway into their 10-day window to trade or release veteran Shea Hillenbrand who was designated for assignment on Friday. Stoneman would not say how close he might be to working out a trade.
"For me, it's really a function of trying to get it done. I never say what my expectations are," Stoneman said. "At this point, we don't have a deal worked out with anyone."

pitch an f*ing strike.melvintoast - July 4, 2007
I didn't say pitch it down

WTF is up with the pitching staff?
Just looked horrible up and down the rotation over the last 2-3 weeks.scareduck - July 4, 2007
Darren Oliver
DEALIN'Rev Halofan - July 4, 2007
Sounds like an oxymoron.
Nice job.melvintoast - July 4, 2007
was that Oliver?
and not ALL OVER? that was nice.SCHalo - July 4, 2007
I'll say it right now
If the Angels come back and win, Oliver is my panther of the game.Caseys Kiss of Death - July 4, 2007
Darren Oliver
just came into the game with men on base and got three outs without allowing any inherited runners to score.In other words, he DID HIS JOB THAT HE IS PAID TO DO!
Rev Halofan - July 4, 2007
and it's about damned time TOO!!!!
ladybug - July 4, 2007
Not that it necessarily matters
The bats are pretty cold, and Texas has an underrated bullpen.scareduck - July 4, 2007
don't pop my bubble, duckie
at this point, I'll take ANY nice nice crapladybug - July 4, 2007
GA
is it mandatory to swing at the first pitch? is it in his contract?SCHalo - July 4, 2007
he made up for it
by watching strike 3 go by...Rev Halofan - July 4, 2007
disgusting....
looks like the the slump bug has hit us.SCHalo - July 4, 2007
I just watched that
strike 3 on tivo 4 times in a row in slow motion and twice at regular speed. It has to be one of the worst strike 3 calls I've seen in ages. Good lord, not even close. Can't blame him in the least...holy FUCK was that bad.Caseys Kiss of Death - July 4, 2007
Oliver!
Wow.And GA was hot after that last pitch. (wasn't paying attention though...)
scottnak - July 4, 2007
with good reason
gameday shows it being outsideZiK - July 4, 2007
GA
is SO done.And here's a clue: "God Bless America" is not the national anthem.
scareduck - July 4, 2007
Yeah, and?
It's July 4th. Let them have their boring patriotic songs. Most of America's patriotic songs suck, so endure them a couple times a year.Caseys Kiss of Death - July 4, 2007
I don't mind them singing the song so much
as the implicit demand I take my hat off through it.scareduck - July 4, 2007
Let's have a contest to see how
inconsequential a subject we can bitch about - waht are you going to do when Iran nukes us and there is no food to go around for everyone?Rev Halofan - July 4, 2007
I have a rather modest proposal for that...
Caseys Kiss of Death - July 4, 2007
How about them Dodgers?
scareduck - July 4, 2007
We have a winner!
mattwelch - July 4, 2007
He'll bitch that we got nuked because
of our crappy patriotic songs.Probably already converted to Islam.
Go Blow Up a Bus, and try not to burn your lips.
Rex DaKine Budler - July 4, 2007
But they are OUR songs !
What are you looking for, a hip-hop version?Commie !

Resop
hit the gun at 99?SCHalo - July 4, 2007
95-96-80-97-97-97-93
According to Gameday. Sosa fouled off the thre 97 mph pitches and the 96 mph one too. swung at missed on the 80 and the 93, both of which were INSIDE.Nice work by the pen. Let's GET SOME RUNS !!!!
Rev Halofan - July 4, 2007
W T F is with
Sammy Sosa (without da juice) having as many HR's as Vlad?That is well below average !
Rex DaKine Budler - July 4, 2007

Resop nails him! Sweet!scareduck - July 4, 2007
Seattle 4, Royals 0, final
1995 again?Christ, this is annoying. This is a better team than that. And outside their bullpen, the Mariners are distinctly average.
scareduck - July 4, 2007
Can Our Young Guys
Get It Done When It Matter Most.....Rex DaKine Budler - July 4, 2007
Apparently not
Everybody's slumping.At this rate, the Mariners will catch up to the Angels by the All-Star break.
