Walk like an Egyptian

Lil Weazy (ND): 7 IP, 5 H, 2 ER
Boof (ND): 7.2 IP, 5 H, 2 ER
Lil Weazy threw 5 innings of shutout ball, but our bats were worthless through 7. A 2-2 game in the bottom of the 8th saw Shields come in and barf all over himself as J. Mauer rounded the diamond with a 3 run inside-the-park HR. Game over.

Is it coincedence.....
That Maicier Izturis aka Mice Tits, has exploded on offense this week after the story about the Rat problem at the stadium broke.or
Is it Mice Tits sticking up for his "family" by trying to take the attention away from the stadium issue and put it back on the field.

Did Steve Physioc
spend the entire top of the First Inning discussing John Lackey's inning by inning perfromance form last night?What an ass. There is a game on in front of your face, Steve.
Rev Halofan - August 12, 2007
Are we going to rehash how much Phys sucks?
At least he showed some emotion when Maicer hit it out Saturday. If it were Mota you woulda thought it was the 1st hole at the PGA.melvintoast - August 12, 2007
Here, here.
I'll take Phys any day of the week over Mota.cardinalwraith - August 12, 2007
I love how
when YOU hate something it is never beaten to death enough, but when anything you could care less about is mentioned you are more jaded than a coke whore at a noon orgy.Rev Halofan - August 12, 2007

At least the game is not on FOX today, we would be stuck with their lousy excuses for announcers.44FAN - August 12, 2007

Nice catch by GA followed by double
He might finally be turning it around.WeaverMania - August 12, 2007
Good job by Kotch on the single
Bad job by Kotch on the rundown, but at least the run scored.WeaverMania - August 12, 2007
Casey hit that like Vlad
and ran the bases like Vladedhoo - August 12, 2007
Happiness is a Twin
trying to catch a triple hit face down in the grass. Taste the rat turds. Ha!44FAN - August 12, 2007
When Lackey, Escobar, Weaver
pitch like this, it makes the team damn near unbeatable.So far against the Twins, they have a 1.59 ERA and 1.23 WHIP in the two games with 10 K's in 17 IP, compared to just 5 walks.
Let's keep it up!
WeaverMania - August 12, 2007
Meant to say 2+ games
WeaverMania - August 12, 2007
Anyone notice that Weaver seems more confident
in his pitch selection? He's not just sitting on the outside corner like he had been recently?melvintoast - August 12, 2007
He seems to be doing what Sandy Koufax preached
"I became a good pitcher when I stopped trying to make them miss the ball and started trying to make them hit it.""The only time I really try for a strikeout is when I'm in a jam. If the bases are loaded with none out, for example, then I'll go for a strikeout. But most of the time I try to throw to spots. I try to get them to pop up or ground out. On a strikeout I might have to throw five or six pitches, sometimes more if there are foul-offs. That tires me. So I just try to get outs. That's what counts - outs. You win with outs, not strikeouts."
He's had so many great quotes.
WeaverMania - August 12, 2007
He's using both sides of the plate.
He's got his command on, definitely looking sharp today.cardinalwraith - August 12, 2007
Beauty DP, eh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How did that NOT go out??????????
It's the daytime, it was to the short part of the field.Fan Since 1981 - August 12, 2007
And it was hit extremely high.
The kind of hit that usually flies on out during the day.Fan Since 1981 - August 12, 2007
A Walk!?
That's not what we pay Izturis for, it's game winning HR, right!?101halo - August 12, 2007

GA with a nice catch.
That one looked like it was long gone off the bat.Fan Since 1981 - August 12, 2007
Another example
of "Cadillac" GA taking a perfect route to the ball and catching it without any additional drama.highlandhalo - August 12, 2007

MATHIS!!!!
BOMBA!!!!!!!scottnak - August 12, 2007
Fangraphs
is making less and less sense to me every time I see it. Casey Kotchman, the guy who drove in the first run of the game, and gave the Angels the lead for what has so far been the duration of the game, somehow has a negative contribution score. No sense at all.Caseys Kiss of Death - August 12, 2007
mathis needed that BADLY
yeswecan - August 12, 2007
WOW! Mathis showing GOOD power!
Cleared the 387 foot sign by plenty.Fan Since 1981 - August 12, 2007
Oh yeah
Mathis gone!highlandhalo - August 12, 2007
Mathis!
Caseys Kiss of Death - August 12, 2007
Is that Mathis or Napoli?
WeaverMania - August 12, 2007
I shall now dub him . . .
Jeke Mapoli.WeaverMania - August 12, 2007
OK Phys
Mathis not "shining" in Napoli's absence.203 is not shining by any example
highlandhalo - August 12, 2007
His CERA is at 3.33 this season
Napoli's is at 4.07 for the season.WeaverMania - August 12, 2007
Comment was more about Phys
than Mathis. But nice stat WeavPity mattwelch is not here to comment on small sample sizes (er ...)
highlandhalo - August 12, 2007
How many times has Mathis caught Ervin or Bart?
101halo - August 12, 2007
He's probably the best .203 hitter in baseball.
melvintoast - August 12, 2007
Figgy whiffs!
We have too many POWER hitters now! lolhighlandhalo - August 12, 2007
Orlando Cabrera, you have been saved
from grounding into an inning ending DP, which is your specialty.WeaverMania - August 12, 2007

The Alpha Male needs to re-assert his status. He's getting shown up.Fan Since 1981 - August 12, 2007
Mathis homer IS shining!!!!!!
angelsrallymom - August 12, 2007
He's a great back up catcher.
44FAN - August 12, 2007
OK mom bless you
highlandhalo - August 12, 2007
Don't think Mathis is at "great"
yet, but he is better than I thought he would be...I did kind of panic, a little, when J-Mo was sent East and Napoli strained his hammy....but Mathis has been good!!!!!!angelsrallymom - August 12, 2007
he has improved on defense
but he hasn't learned to hit in the majors yet. hopefully this HR will spark something.yeswecan - August 12, 2007
He needs to practice his
pick-off move....not as good as J-Mo or B-Mo....yet...angelsrallymom - August 12, 2007
Re: Mathis
This was Mathis's make it or break it moment with Nap on the DL. He had to step up or face Budde kicking him out. Mathis has done really well I think. His HR was big for him today.44FAN - August 12, 2007
Budde kicking him out? Are you kidding?
There's a reason why Mathis has gotten almost all of the starts behind the plate. He is at least the backup catcher, and he may be the starting catcher if Napoli struggles.cardinalwraith - August 12, 2007

Panther: Weaver. VERY sharp pitching.
Fan Since 1981 - August 12, 2007
You could tell he was on his game
from the first batter of the game. He was nailing his spots on a relatively meaningless batter to open things up, getting called strikes from the get-go. When I saw that to open things up, I knew he was gonna be going solid for the entire start.Caseys Kiss of Death - August 12, 2007
