4:05 PM - Angels @ Evil Empire Pretending to be Underdogs
Jered WEAVER v. Curt SCHILLING
Post Your OPD Guesses here.
Will this be the blowout victory that allows Darren Oliver to pitch in peace at Fenway?

Doctor X
will build a creature
Does Schilling call those bad dreams Maicermares or does he just quietly pretend that they will soon go away?

Why do Angel telecasts
not show the stats for opposing pitchers? It's highly annoying. It seems like we don't always get stats on the opposing hitters, either. It's totally crazy.Chronicles - August 18, 2007

i thought..
..hk-47 was supposed to be back after the day/night doubleheader.. why isn't he?b0rd3rline - August 18, 2007
Probably wanted to add another pitcher
after most of the bullpen (save Oliver) was used in the doubleheader yesterday.Did they call anyone up?
cardinalwraith - August 18, 2007
I think that was contigent on
Sending down a pitcher. Seeing as how Ervin pitched so well they didn't send him down after the game, and due to the doubleheader we need an extra guy in the pen for a couple days.That would be my guess.

Casey Kotchman

Its an automatic tag against Manny
UK Halo - August 18, 2007
Manny actually has a good arm
It's the one thing he can do defensively. Of course, he was in pretty lousy position to throw after catching that ball.Chronicles - August 18, 2007
His arm
looks better because of the short left field at Fenway, put him in a decent size field and its not that great.UK Halo - August 18, 2007
I don't know
It looks pretty good in Angel Stadium, too.Chronicles - August 18, 2007

one thing weav did in the 1st inning
That impressed me was when he dropped the arm angle for the strikeout. He did it with a lot of success last year, but hasn't at all this year. Wonder why.101halo - August 18, 2007
Anyone else think that Kotch
should be batting cleanup?cardinalwraith - August 18, 2007
It always seems like he'll get on base
to lead things off, and then we have to rely on Mathis, Izturis and Willits to bring him home.cardinalwraith - August 18, 2007
Right, if he bats cleanup
he'll have, er, GA.Might be better with Izturis.
UK Halo - August 18, 2007
been saying that for a while.
101halo - August 18, 2007
Makes more sense than GA in that spot
I think Kotch should bat third though. An OBP of .371 right in front of Vlad just makes too much sense.iLoveLamp - August 18, 2007

highlandhalo - August 18, 2007
I don't want to hear
another bullshit word about how Manny made a great catch on that. Manny was dogging it and being a slow, lazy, half-assed human being who was lucky that didn't drop in for an RBI single. Any decent fielder makes that catch routinely above their waist.And the way he got Maicer's ball earlier in the game like he was shagging B.P. fly balls pissed me off, too. This guy is a selfish, self-centered, me-first, showy prick.

Yeah but did you see him try to "glare"

That was my first post in the entire thread.
why are you jumping on me?Downing Rules - August 18, 2007
He's a troll
note from his comments that the only time he ever posts, it's about the Red Sox. And the only time he posts on the Red Sox, it's when they win.If someone dared ask him the DH before David Ortiz, his head would probably explode. Same if you asked him to name an Angel outside of Vladimir Guerrero...and even asking him about Guerrero might trip him up.
He's the kind of Red Sox fan who was only excited about the Gagne acquisition because ESPN told him that it was the greatest trade ever made by any team in the history of baseball (because otherwise, he'd never even heard of this "Gagne" fella). Well, the best except maybe the time that the Red Sox traded away Jeff Bagwell for a sixer of Bud Light.

As a team, we're the best, and I won't hear it if you want to tell me otherwise. We should be going for 3 out of 4 tomorrow, not looking to salvage a split.
