Friday NIGHT Game Thread

So yeah, 6 PM Start on FREE TV - KCOP My 13 - Angels @ Rangers

Jered Weaver V. Sidney Ponson (seriously)

Vlad has a mild knee tweak and will not likely be playing...

An evening television broadcast of an Angels baseball game. I predict that in the near future, this will be a regular occurrence.

Pregame-Gasm Guesses

1. YES or NO: Will Jered Weaver throw a pitch in the 6th inning?

2. Name the Angel player who will reach base safely 3 times in the game.

3. Name the Angels pitcher who will finish the game.

From the Horses' Mouths

Guerrero's knee irritated

After A's reliever Keith Foulke sent him sprawling with a pitch high and inside during Wednesday's game, Vladimir Guerrero got his revenge by hitting the next pitch over the left-field fence for a grand slam.

But that pitch apparently had some lingering effects. Guerrero left Thursday's game after three innings in right field and two at-bats (including an RBI double) with irritation in his right knee. Scioscia said Guerrero told him he had injured the knee while getting out of the way of that Foulke fastball Wednesday.

"He felt fine this morning, so he didn't say anything," Scioscia said. "But it acted up on him again."

Scioscia said he didn't expect it to be a lingering problem, but Guerrero will probably not play Friday against the Texas Rangers.

Weaver K's Hamilton!

Looked good so far

Ouch fanatic! It's televised!

I'm loving getting to see this!

Figgy singled in the first, Reggie GIDP, and Maicier grounded out.

Weaver then got a fly out, ground out, and a strike out.

i know :( i'm dying over here!

Thanks MLB.com

As a logged into the game early, I was able to see the last 10 minutes of the Tyra Banks show.

Anyways, great to see the game on TV. Weaver looks strong thus far.

Top 2nd

GA deep fly to LF warning track for an out
Howie grounds out to 2nd on 1st pitch
Kotch grounds out to 2nd base

Boring inning, but don't care, it's baseball!

Torii, not Howie

Oh yeah, duh.

Promise i'm not a "all black dudes look the same" kinda guy. Just a mistake haha.

Vote for Obama no Jesse Jackson

I love how the only time you've been posting

During ST games is to crack jokes haha

And I did vote for Obama.

yaaaay baseball!...halo that is

Yeah it great that baseball is almost here,

It really helps since we got 8 inches of snow today in Chicago.

Wow

Weaver really locked up Milton

Bot 2nd Weav on his game!

Fly out to center
3 pitch K
K looking

weaver looking good

i want him to shine opening day...so far he deserves the nod

Quinlan trying to kill the Ranger coaches

Damn

that sounded like it killed somebody.

Howie is

Solid. Nice 2 bagger.

What I love about Weaver

is that all the projection specialists are scoffing at his 2006 success and seeing 2007, when he was pitching hurt, as his ceiling. It was Jered's basement!

Umpires need glasses

He was safe

Top 3rd

Howie hits one off the wall for a stand up double
Q groundout to SS (Howie holds at 2nd)
Howie out trying to steal 3rd (got robbed)
Wilson pop up to shallow RF

About as lucky of a hit as you can get

EXCUSE ME SINGLE

Laird: Will you excuse me, I'm just looking for the bridge...
Weaver: Where's that confounded bridge?

And Karma - Laird gets picked off

Dancin' Days are here again!

That was very impressive

Nice play boys

Hunter was not impressive on that

Fine it could not have been caught without a dive and it is only spring, but c'mon, letting it high bounce past ya!

Bad

He looked like he could decide if he was gonna dive or play that on a bounce.

Error on Torii

defence not looking too sharp right now

that would have been sweet

Bases Juiced, Wind Blowing Out

Lucky my teevee is on mute so I don't have to listen to Steve Physioc talk about eh Red Sox magical 2004 pennant drive...

Phys keeps talking about that Ranger guy's drug problem.

Bot 3rd

Catalanotta double off RF wall
Laird check swing single to RF, 1-0 Tehas
Weaver with a great pickoff of Laird
Broussard single past a diving Howie
Kinsler single to CF, Broussard takes 3rd on a E

Strike out pitch

is working pretty hardcore.

who's coming up to bat for the dudes in red?

We have a hurt Ponson!

Fat man down

Great Hutsle Play Figgy

figgy knocked out ponson with a bunt

Umpires hate the Angels tonight

He sold that tag really well

Butcher has all the charm and personality

of a tow truck driver.

Figgy out stealing 2nd (I think we got robbed, again)

Angels are getting boned by the blues tonight.

boned

you said a mouthful.

I'm digging the My13 Soundtrack

LP
Angels and Airwaves
Van Halen

Nice summer tunes.

Bot 4th Weav on the hill

Kinsler bunts to move the runner over, good throw from Figgy to get him at 1st
Young comebacker, Weaver takes the out at 1st
Hamilton liner to Howie, inning over

Also, Hud declared that GA would hit 25-30 bombs if healthy this year. If GA sniffs 30, I'll crap myself.

Top 6th

Wilson HR!

What the hell?

MLB.com feed went to a commercial as soon as he hit that!

HEY!!!!!!!!!

Did you guys know that Howie was in Sports Illustrated??????

(shoots self in head)

So, first Angels broadcast

And you already feel the need to complain?

Save it until at least May! Just be glad the game is back!

Can't help it

Had to put the KLAA feed on. I can live with the delay. lol.

MUTE BUTTON IS YOUR FRIEND

Physioc talking Hamilton Rehab again in 3 - 2 - 1 ...

G.A. in MID-SEASON FORM...

hi guys

first post on this format. When did this start?

Thar she is!

Maybe two weeks ago? Liking it so far...

PLAY BALL

LADYBUG IS HERE - we have LIFTOFF on the 2008 season!

I've been lurking

I was just lazy about doing all the sign up stuff

Bot 6th Weaver still pitching

No doubt about it.

damn erik, you must really live in hell...no Jack in the Box????? Maybe no In N Out?

Damn straight

I live in Chicago and the closet Jack in the Box is in South Illinois, which is like a 4 hour drive. And don't get started with In and Out. Their closest location is Vegas....Now I'm hungry.

How 'bout White Castle?

Yeah they are all over,

but they call their burgers sliders because they slide right through you.

HA!!!!

Is there a way we can FedEx it to you?

My Girlfriend brought me back frozen stuff once

The burger was great and so were the curly fries, but my tacos didn't keep.

hmmm

must have been the Ecoli.
my brother lives in burbonais [sic].

I think so

they used to be up here as late as the 80's. I would drive to Bourbonnais if they had them. It is a fun place to go see the Bears' training camp. Nice little town.

Weaver pitching into the 7th inning

wow.

Bot 7th Weav gets the green light!

Catalanotto flies out to Willits at the track

Weaver taken out (at his 90 pitches)

IF

I post photos, are they private for HH only, or are they open to the world?

i dunno

try it you'll like it

wow, soka university is right up the freeway

thats cool that kennedy still works out around here

Question: how hard was Weaver throwing tonight?

What was his fastball topping out at? Was his stuff "sharp" i.e. crisp breaking pitches, well spotted fastballs?

Velocity? Dunno.

Sharp? Oh, hell, yes.

Still Bot 7th Wilhite in

Laird foul pop out to Kotch at 1nd

this is still a "save" situation?

Not according to Bill Plunkett at OC Register earlier...
