Not 'dem Cowboys @ Angels - 7 PM
Manuel Noriega Vicente Padilla vs. Joe SAUNDERS
Our Lefty versus their Ugly. I'd call it a face-off, but you just know Padilla has heard that suggestion dozens of times in his life.
POST Your OPD Guesses in this thread before gametime!
Will Napoli be back before Texarkana leaves town?

My guess
We get 100 wins this season.mheumann - August 31, 2007
recall the late '80s,
and picture, in your mind, deposed Panamanian strongman narcokleptocrat Manuel Noriega.Now, picture him in a blue Texas Rangers baseball hat.
Thought he was in lockdown in Florida?
That's what they want you to think.
(how much do we really know about this alleged "Vicente Padilla"? Hmm?)
squarefootnatlpark - August 31, 2007
Vicente Padilla ...
... took one for the team at the All-Star Game in Milwaukee. He claimed he could not warm up and the game was called a tie. As a result two-thirds of the players were able to catch flights out of Milwaukee that night so that they could have an off day at home. The nation's media were bribed with food and drink not to report that. Not being able to warm up is not a proof that Padilla is Manuel Antonio Noreiga (I once stayed at Manuel Antonio beach on Costa Rica's Pacific coast. That is the only reason I remember Noreiga's middle name) in disguise. The closest Pineapple Face will ever get to throwing out the first pitch at a baseball game is to watch a game on a tv set in prison. It was more classy of Noreiga to hide in a church than in a hole in the ground like Saddam Hussein. Manuel missed out on the dental cavity search and the neck-tie party.Yetijuice - August 31, 2007

... go to a baseball game! Roger and I will be cheering the Angels on to victory tonight! We arrived home from Kdu at 2345 Wednesday night. All five of us are wide awake now (0015 on Friday PDT). I spent the early morning going through 10 weeks of mail and found about 10 teaser rate offers to refinance our mortgage. Isn't the 11th Commandment "never sign a mortgage that you cannot pay off any time you choose?"Yetijuice

Before the season started I figured the Angels to get 101 regular season wins and win the World Series in 6 games. The entire second half I have been confident that I aced the AL West:
- Angels
- Mariners
- Athletics
- Rangers
That doubles as the order that I like the teams. Hey, I have friends in Seattle! That said, I prefer Peet's Coffee to Starbucks.Yetijuice - August 31, 2007

Spectacular win by the Jays over the Mariners!!!
Fan Since 1981 - August 31, 2007
M's down 2 in the 9th
They had the bases loaded and only 1 out. Ibanez hits a ball up the middle that looks like a sure single, except Jays 2B Aaron Hill makes a spectacular play to spear the ball, flip to second (with an oncoming Guillen barrelling into second) and a great scoop at 1st by Overbay to complete the GAME ENDING DOUBLE PLAY!Fan Since 1981 - August 31, 2007
Ouch!
2 singles, walk, bases loaded in 9th for Ibanez with 1 out. Ibanez hits into double play.BP Scanner - August 31, 2007

Saunders strikes out the side. How is his fastball
Gameday showing it hitting 93. A lot of "life" to the fastball?Fan Since 1981 - August 31, 2007

Gameday is showing 2 pitches right at Vlad.Fan Since 1981 - August 31, 2007
Yes, Physioc was talking about it.
"They have a history."44FAN - August 31, 2007
Padilla is at it again? Ump should have
thrown him out.Fan Since 1981 - August 31, 2007
Yep.
More like he lost a little location on an attempt to go inside and pinch him. Didn't look like purpose pitches.Stirrups - August 31, 2007
Saunders a bit wild. His delivery seems
a little out of sync.Fan Since 1981 - August 31, 2007
So this is what a "Salty" looks like.
Lots of respect for all that power by Sosh. Infield in tight.Stirrups - August 31, 2007

Wow. They're IBBing Young to load the bases.
It's the right % play. But Sosa....Fan Since 1981 - August 31, 2007
And it turned out to be the right call.
Time for the Angels to step it up, and go after the frog man.Fan Since 1981 - August 31, 2007
Kendry is really turning on pitches!
Fan Since 1981 - August 31, 2007
The high wall in right ripped him off of a HR
Fan Since 1981 - August 31, 2007

That ball hit the "r" in "Banco Popular". If Cruz had not been busy juking, he could have gone back to the warning track and caught it at his chest.Stirrups - August 31, 2007
Krotchy rusty, Morales well greased.

He's probably too lazy to appreciate it.Stirrups - August 31, 2007
3-0. is Vlad swinging?
Fan Since 1981 - August 31, 2007

44FAN - August 31, 2007
niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice.
vladdy's the man.retrohalo - August 31, 2007
so is mathis for running so fast. i guess.
i just saw "in play, runs scored" and assumed vladdy hit a double or something.retrohalo - August 31, 2007
Mathis got a great break.
The ball to 2B was near the basepath. He chose to throw home and had no chance. The ball got to the catcher late, and the throw was high. Bad choice.Stirrups - August 31, 2007
By "break"
I mean break off the bag and running on contact. Not as in "gift".Stirrups - August 31, 2007
i knew what you meant.
retrohalo - August 31, 2007
WHAT. A. DUMB. PLAY.
Halofanatic gets no credit for that one.Stirrups - August 31, 2007

In 24 innings, Wood has a career ERA of 7.50 against the Angels, and they are hitting .314 against him.Fan Since 1981 - August 31, 2007
Aw man,

Fan Since 1981 - August 31, 2007
Speier in may onely mean that
Shields went through a bunch of game situations on the off-day yesterday, with the coaching staff.Stirrups - August 31, 2007
Speier seems to be giving up
alot of HRs recently.Fan Since 1981 - August 31, 2007
And now a hard hit double.
Fan Since 1981 - August 31, 2007
Bring in Shields
Speier is suckingedhoo - August 31, 2007
That's it for Speier.
Fan Since 1981 - August 31, 2007
maybe that's why speier doesn't pitch the eighth.
retrohalo - August 31, 2007
He was very good for the Jays pitching
the 8th. Unfortunate that he didn't have his stuff around for a 2nd inning of work.Fan Since 1981 - August 31, 2007
The man with the rubber arm,
Scott Shields. Hope the heat does'nt get to him and melt it all up.44FAN - August 31, 2007
Shields puts out the Speier fire.

FYI, 'retro'
I jsut brought up GameCast and compared the graphic with the TV and GameCast looks right on.Stirrups - August 31, 2007

retrohalo - August 31, 2007
Aren't you watching via MLB GameCast?
Stirrups - August 31, 2007
yeah.
i was just wondering what you were referring to.retrohalo - August 31, 2007
That animation in the middle
that shows the flight of the ball and location at the plate. You know, the one that you can switch from batter's view to pitcher's view?Stirrups - August 31, 2007
oh.
wait, i remember now. i was wondering why you told me that the tv and gameday was right on. the mighty mouse comment. cool, thanks.sometimes it seems like gameday's off so i was asking.

mathis can't throw
UCIHalo - August 31, 2007
I'm beginning to notice that too.
And, Howie has a tendency to drop throws from catcher and OF. We might be in for a long era of giving up tons of SB's.Stirrups - August 31, 2007

If they gave out those maracas during a Dodger game what would happen?eyespy - August 31, 2007
nothing
it would remind the fans of homeladybug - August 31, 2007
Have you seen them
Big pointy A on the top.How did the designers get away with that in this day and age.
Only thing better would be if they were made in China with that special brand of export to America paint they use.

No walk to men on 1st and 3rd.
No ground ball to Izzy, holding the runner at 3rd, for the 1st out.
No walk to load the bases.
No force out at home for the second out.
No strikeout to finish the game with Frankie fist-pumping.
