Drew Carey's Non-Galaxy Faves @ Angels - 7 PM
Paul Byrd vs. Kelvim ESCOBAR
We (i.e. Bill Stoneman) signed Carrasco over Byrd in the 05/06 offseason, fyi...
Post Your OPD GUESSES in this thread before the first pitch!
A Mariner or Tiger Wild Card would make this our ALDS matchup!

Kelvim looks to be a 19 game winner with a late-season surge...

Scioscia on Vlad
It's just a little tightness in the triceps area -- he'll probably need a day or two to calm it down," Manager Mike Scioscia said. "This is relatively minor. It should clear up in a couple of days, where he should at least be able to swing the bat. There's a lot of baseball left. It makes sense to calm this down rather than play through it."hauldog - September 6, 2007
at least it's nothing serious.
i pray it's nothing serious. if we lose vlad, we lose everything.retrohalo - September 6, 2007
Eep
MatthewsCabrera
Anderson
Morales
Izturis
Kotchman
Kendrick
Mathis
Willits
Matthews in leadoff is a desperation/exasperation move at this point. Morales batting cleanup... only the second time in his career to hit out of the four hole, his prior stint on June 6, 2006, a game in which he went 0-for-4.
scareduck - September 6, 2007
Who else
Should bat lead off?hauldog - September 6, 2007
Kinda my point
In the absence of Figgins, that's very unclear. Willits looks lost at the plate, and Cabrera was 0-for-4 the other day when he tried it.scareduck - September 6, 2007
Oh i see
Disregard my other post please.hauldog - September 6, 2007
Desperation? What?
On whose part for what purpose?Also, small sample size on Kendry in the cleanup spot.
cardinalwraith - September 6, 2007
Not saying it's predictive
A year ago he was a flummoxed rookie playing two leagues over his head.scareduck - September 6, 2007
We're in FIRST PLACE! We're desperate!
melvintoast - September 6, 2007
a vlad-less line-up looks so empty.
hopefully ga can put the fear of God in teams and the angels can show they can win without vladdy.retrohalo - September 6, 2007
One game
Desperation? Really?hauldog - September 6, 2007
disregard
hauldog - September 6, 2007
Clearly
if Scioscia thought Cabrera at leadoff was a better idea, don't you think he'd have tried it?Matthews with a .258 average isn't exactly the ideal leadoff man.
scareduck - September 6, 2007
Again, that is?
scareduck - September 6, 2007
I misinterpretted your words.
hauldog - September 6, 2007
Matthews and his .321 OBP shouldnt be near leadoff

Dallas McPherson had an inside-the-park home run.scareduck - September 6, 2007

Grumble.
Cleveland making the Angels work, while the offense is hobbled by Vlad's absence, and because they're facing Paul Byrd, exactly the kind of pitcher that tends to give them trouble: finesse guys who hit their locations consistently.scareduck - September 6, 2007

He is exactly the kind of pitcher
the Angels have trouble with: strike throwers who make you put the ball in play on garbage pitches.scareduck - September 6, 2007

Another pitching change.
Wedge hates East coasters.Fan Since 1981 - September 6, 2007
So is Reggie's official nick Elvis?
Do we have a consensus?melvintoast - September 6, 2007
Well we're getting a rather complete view
of the Indian's bullpen.44FAN - September 6, 2007
this just gets better and better.

kinda neurotic coach.

Nothing but junk to GMJ.

Great 1-2-3 8th. Halos needed that.
Fan Since 1981 - September 6, 2007
Umpire is tired. Anything near the plate is a
strike.melvintoast - September 6, 2007
Question:
We're winning 8-3 after the top of the 8th. Do you put Shields in for the 9th to see what he can do, with a short leash?Keep in mind his first real meltdown of the year was on that godawful roadtrip in Milwaukee against Cleveland at the beginning of the year...
101halo - September 6, 2007
Is he available? He threw 40 in the simulated
game. I'd put him in on a short leash.melvintoast - September 6, 2007
He threw 40 pitches on Tuesday
in the simulated game, so the Angels might be cautious and give him some more rest.Fan Since 1981 - September 6, 2007
GA!!!!!!!!!!
angelsrallymom - September 6, 2007
ga's done it again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
retrohalo - September 6, 2007
GA's new name is WINGS
Especially after the 10 RBI performance.101halo - September 6, 2007

Hey Keith

An out, but nice to see Kotch drive the ball
to the opposite field.Fan Since 1981 - September 6, 2007
i like how mlb.com posted the title.
"Angels Icon Anderson..." couldn't be closer to the truth.retrohalo - September 6, 2007
GA wasn't really BAD last year, BUT...
Any chance he could be a legitimate candidate for comeback player of the year?Dude is freaking raking.
101halo - September 6, 2007
Carlos Pena should win it
edhoo - September 6, 2007
WOW! Shields is out there!
Fan Since 1981 - September 6, 2007
It's like a Halo reunion tonight.
cardinalwraith - September 6, 2007
101, your question's been answered.
seems like scioscia wants to know what shields can do too.retrohalo - September 6, 2007
I'm wishing him luck.
So far, 1 one, that works... though the command doesn't look great...101halo - September 6, 2007
*1 out

All-Time Angels' Great, Garret Anderson
to you, Mr. Keith Law. You are not allowed to address him in any other manner.Caseys Kiss of Death - September 6, 2007
shields needs a 1-2-3 inning bad

Nice K Shields!!!
Come on, this is what we're used to!101halo - September 6, 2007
Mariners Commercial
The Actober commercial is hilarious! HAs anyone seen the one with Dane Cook on teh Mariners?Evidently they are quietly crreeping on the Angels.
hauldog - September 6, 2007
is good shields back?
or is this an illusion.CaLiKrAzY - September 6, 2007
Shields looks good
but its not like he is facing a bunch of good hittersedhoo - September 6, 2007
Using Shields as
the closer...I hope Scot can get it together!!! I like him...he's good when he is on.....angelsrallymom - September 6, 2007
I already updated G.A.'s wikipedia page
to reflect the record he set tonight for the team.There was a diary or story about it on this site a while back, but we need to get together as Angels' fans and make our team's entries as well written and well-drawn out as the articles for their Yanksox counterparts. I try to do my part from time to time.
Caseys Kiss of Death - September 6, 2007
Thanks! That's awesome dude!
101halo - September 6, 2007
And here I thought I was a good fan because
I missed yesterday's game but came home and watched the replay broadcast even though I knew we lost.44FAN - September 6, 2007
HEY!!! Shields with a 1-2-3 ninth!!!
Fan Since 1981 - September 6, 2007
Shields got it done, that's for sure
Though his command still doesn't look quite there.He'll work it out!
GA though: the Panther.
