The animals are conspiring against us.
Unfortunately, we had a nice 7th inning going for us, then it just disappeared in the bottom half. Moseley did fine. Not great, but not bad at all either.
A few blunders occured, but personally I'm pinning this on what flipped the momentum in the 7th, and that means Blame of the Game goes to Erick Aybar. At first I put Maicer, but after thinking about it. Izzy did get two RBIs, and Aybar did absolutely nothing, and he (perhaps...) should've been able to get the play done (for which Maicer was awarded an Error for)
Who knows what might've happened afterwards but that extra oomph that came out of that sure paid off for the Tigres.
Hey. My first assignment. Now go ahead and rant away. (And yes that's me. Hello)

I Agree
If Aybar makes that play, it’s probably a one-run inning, instead of a 3-run inning. And he didn’t help out at the plate, either.

I didn't see any replay
but Maicer’s throw did look a bit errant, not that it was unchatchable.

Stupid blackouts
Had to listen to Pyz the whole game.

aybar
for failing me the day after i pick him up in fantasy
ANewFoundThrice - April 26, 2008
NOT GA
the fact that he didn’t get a hit in the 1st inning, in a game in which none of his teammates did either until the 6th, does not make for a blame of the game. GA later had a hit & scored. Rather, blame goes to Aybar, who deserved the error, not Izturis.
jjackflash - April 26, 2008
Thats just like me saying NOT AYBAR....He has been getting a shit load of hits and SOLID plays
while GA has been sucking ass. GA GETS THE BLAME OF THE GAME AS FAR AS I’M CONCERNED FOR MAKING THAT BALL FALL IN THE OUTFIELD BETWEEN HIM AND HUNTER. HIS SLOW ASS SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN THERE OR SAID HE DIDNT HAVE IT SO HUNTER COULD HAVE GONE FULL SPEED AT IT.
acuda27 - April 26, 2008
Awfully presumptuous
of you to conclude that it was GA’s fault, not Hunter’s. Hunter, as the CF, is in charge in the OF. It is his responsibility to call of GA, or to tell GA to get it.

O
That’s my new nickname of O’day. The youngster suffered from an error but still got hit hard after a good 6th inning. Call it tough love.
I declare Vlad’s mini-slump officially over.
Also, Iz seems to be back at it with the stick.

I call O'Day "Spot" for the large mole in the middle of his cheek.
44FAN - April 26, 2008
A lot of positives for today despite the loss.
Vlad appears to be back in hitting form.
Moseley wasn’t total garbage. O’Day and Thompson did a decent job in relief.
We were able to rest our bullpen.

BotG goes to...
the home plate ump.
That was the least consistent strike zone I have ever seen in all my years of baseball spectatorship.
As for someone on the team to whom blame belongs, I would definitely say GA who was slogging around in left field with the same lethargy that has given me such animus towards him for not removing himself from the game of baseball.

BOG Strike Out looking ANDERSON.
acuda27 - April 26, 2008
we got beat
great game from moseley
did anyone expect better from our 7th starter
especially when going agaist the best “preseason line-up”
and facing someone pitching a no-hitter?
GREAT GAME HALOS
better than scoring six against the terrible texans
in the ninth when down by nine
we are for real
no prisoners, no surrender
later in the season shields or speier pitches that seventh inning
moseley sacked up, o’day learned
what did not kill us made us stronger
no BOTG
let’s go win another series tomorrow
hittheg - April 27, 2008
today
hittheg - April 27, 2008
maybe o'day
should get BOTG
for not allowing sheff to hit a stronger ground ball in the 7th
to make it easier to turn that double play
a lot of posters here should send resumees to the new york post
many of you are critical whiners
who would fit in nicely there
i love the angels
i think we have a great team
but we are not going to win 120 games
stop whining you post 2001 band-waggoneers
hittheg - April 27, 2008
your posts are
really sweet.
angels4adam - April 27, 2008
