7/21 Rematch:

http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/boxscore;_ylt=Ak6AZPqLUuiNXbSnPwjxxSKFCLcF?gid=270721109

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.

You down with OPD, Yeah you know me!

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.

So Lackey threw a fit with Scissosia in the dugout for not letting him finish the game last night.
Sosh wanted to make sure
I got my OPD points.
DH today
Big bat Maicer
If maicer was batting behind Vlad
They'd give Vladdy something to swing at.
Maicer
He is the Dallas McPhearson we never had!
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.

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.
Here, here.
I'll take Phys any day of the week over Mota.
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.
I love you too man.. I'm so lucky to be a halofan
at least you are grateful
unlike the bandwagon jam...
Count your blessings
At least the game is not on FOX today, we would be stuck with their lousy excuses for announcers.
That wall is to tall
Nice catch by GA followed by double
He might finally be turning it around.
Good job by Kotch on the single
Bad job by Kotch on the rundown, but at least the run scored.
Casey hit that like Vlad
and ran the bases like Vlad
Happiness is a Twin
trying to catch a triple hit face down in the grass. Taste the rat turds. Ha!
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!

Meant to say 2+ games
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?
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.

He's using both sides of the plate.
He's got his command on, definitely looking sharp today.
Beauty DP, eh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GA needs to get one high up in the air to right
Come on Kotch, do it again!
How did that NOT go out??????????
It's the daytime, it was to the short part of the field.
And it was hit extremely high.
The kind of hit that usually flies on out during the day.
A Walk!?
That's not what we pay Izturis for, it's game winning HR, right!?
First base was open.
Gotta love NASCAR fights
I know it's off topic but it was funny to watch Montoya and Harvick push eachother.
way to bunt when you just tripled
Weaver looks great so far
50+ pitches through 5
effective AND efficient
phys' and hud's new favorite song
"steady as she goes" by the "Racketeers", as hud calls them
they can't stop saying it!
Escalade time
escalade?
GA
But why is he escalade?
his lack of hustle
cadillac --> escalade
AAHHH!!!! Got It! Thanks!
cupie made up that one
he's made up some of the classics, too (mice tits, pharaoh, etc.)
The Angels are 13-9 since Santana got sent down
I just looked it up for no reason other than to know.
Way to go GA, way to go!
I'm really glad that you ran that out.
Here comes MAICERRRRR
Here comes the Little Rat That Could
PHARAOH TIME
gets get some Isis action going
Mo Vaughn could steal on this team
I don't know about stealing on Saunders
but WTY is probably the slowest to the plate of the starting rotation.
Admiral Aybar time
Aybar is slow getting around on the fastball
he looked bad
mathis looks worse
it will be nice when naps returns
And Howie.
exactly
(broken) fingers crossed....
Go 44,
it will be Great when Nappy returns!
let's get a hit here, figgy
MIGHTY MIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Figgy does it all
no need to get a power bat, bill
Chone!
Let's get Figgy with it!
Heyyy!
Lookie that!! Another Bomba!!
For all your weight-training/power lifting advice
Please call

555-Izzy
OR
555-Figy

Napoli to Mathis:
"Dude, you need to get back home here the dishes are piling up and the laundry needs to be done."
GA just missed 2 HRs today.
GA with a nice catch.
That one looked like it was long gone off the bat.
Another example
of "Cadillac" GA taking a perfect route to the ball and catching it without any additional drama.
In cyberspace...........no one can hear you cheer.
Or hear your diarrhea.
Too graphic?  Close ballgames will do that to ya.
But Speier gets the last out of the 8th.
Time to settle down for 1 half inning.
S P E I E R
A little Frankie-esque drama in between strikeouts there.
weaver was pissed to get pulled
but it was "time to go". speier got it done.
MATHIS!!!!
BOMBA!!!!!!!
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.
mathis needed that BADLY
WOW! Mathis showing GOOD power!
Cleared the 387 foot sign by plenty.
Oh yeah
Mathis gone!
Is that Mathis or Napoli?
I shall now dub him . . .
Jeke Mapoli.
OK Phys
Mathis not "shining" in Napoli's absence

.203 is not shining by any example

His CERA is at 3.33 this season
Napoli's is at 4.07 for the season.
Comment was more about Phys
than Mathis. But nice stat Weav

Pity mattwelch is not here to comment on small sample sizes (er ...)

How many times has Mathis caught Ervin or Bart?
He's probably the best .203 hitter in baseball.
Figgy whiffs!
We have too many POWER hitters now! lol
Orlando Cabrera, you have been saved
from grounding into an inning ending DP, which is your specialty.
Almost by Vlad on that 1st pitch
The Alpha Male needs to re-assert his status.  He's getting shown up.
Mathis homer IS shining!!!!!!
He's a great back up catcher.
OK mom bless you
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!!!!!!
he has improved on defense
but he hasn't learned to hit in the majors yet. hopefully this HR will spark something.
He needs to practice his
pick-off move....not as good as J-Mo or B-Mo....yet...
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.
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.
YUP
SWEEEEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BA-ROOOOOM !!!!!
LIGHT UP THE HALO!!!!!!
light up the broom
Woohooo!!
Light it up! We's gots a sweep!
Light it up!
Come on Halos!
Panther: Weaver. VERY sharp pitching.
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.
Good night
A Halos sweep, and now I get to go outside and watch the meteor shower in Scotland!

Woooo hooo!

That's win No. 69
for those of you that put stock in those sorts of thing.
Weaver
for panther
Great game ya-all!
