had almost the same line as moseley, except 4 innings less of work. giving up less hits than dustin, but the same amount of ER and with zero Ks. as opposed to dustin's meaningless 4 Ks.
on a side note, i saw adenhart pitched today in a minor league game against the 51s. he didnt seem like himself, giving up around a fews here and there in the 3 innings i saw him pitch. i left after the 3rd, but from what i saw: i was impressed.
It's not his fault that the team decided to keep him rather than bring up Kendry Morales. As long as he's on the roster, he'll get occasional playing time, especially against lefties (even if he can no longer hit them).
But yeah, Moseley really imploded today. That was very disheartening.
that Rich Thompson sure doesn't look like he wants to stick around, although maybe he just shouldn't pitch against Texas (9 ER in 2 2/3 IP, for an era of around 30.37).
WTF was THAT?!! I don't care how many instrumental albums a man has sold. He has no business holding notes for an eternity in a friggin baseball stadium.
My BotG goes to GA. Worthless tonight.
A couple of nice defensive highlights for the Halos tonight. Aybar once again showed us what he's capable of. His play sticks out the most for me.
moseley did suck
GA did suck (until final swing)
Q sucked & had a brain fart
bases loaded, down by five runs, 0-2 count
he tries to pull a low outer half strike
ground ball to short, double play, end of rally.
that's a strike he has to take
kevin kennedy summed it up "you gotta put something in the air"
after that we had to use mop-up releivers & give up more runs
that one swing that shouldn't have been taken did more to lose it for us than moseley's terrible pitching
at least the angels showed a bit of pride in the bottom of the ninth. cupie was in full rally mode from the beginning of the inning -- to his credit -- so expect to see more of that from him this season. and, hopefully, from the angels, too.
Quinland shouldn't even be riding the pine on this team let alone starting at the home opener. He's totally Scooby doo'd Sciocia into thinking he can play at this level. DFA him and bring up Cowbell.
circular breathing is not a sign of talent, nor is it rare -- it means you can play the didgeridoo, commonly played in australia and in drum circles at Burning Man.
and hence the long note. Stupid, absolutely stupid. As it ended up, a Southwest Airlines flight flew over as Kenny G-spot was blowing that long note. That was our spectacular flyover and the reason for the long note.
that and Kenny G holding that note out for no reason other than showmanship.... the national anthem shouldn't be made into a ridiculous spectacle, as it was last night.
1) for taking one of his hottest hitters and best defensive player out of the line up and giving Robbie a start--for the home opener no less
2) for giving GMJ at bats against a lefty when he had Rivera on the bench. Jr. only pertends to be a switch hitter. He can't bat right handed.
That sucked
But at least Figgins was great and Torii is heating up
Vlad is still MIA though
edhoo - April 4, 2008
Yeah, Q deserves blame for playing today
Los Angeles de Anaheim - April 4, 2008
but Moseley sucked balls tonight

"Stop."
Bilko 420 - April 4, 2008
Haven't we gotten up close and personal with the G enough for one night?
44FAN - April 4, 2008
BLAME OF THE GAME
Kenny F'n G.
Rev Halofan - April 4, 2008
Welcome home boys
Here's some Kenny G in your ear.
Whoever had that idea should be sentenced to parking lot duty at the Latrine.
ReggieBullits - April 4, 2008
Seriously
Tim Mead may need to take the fall for this...?
Bilko 420 - April 4, 2008
Pink Eye and Quinlan get BOG
acuda27 - April 4, 2008
I disagree with the blame once more
it should be Dustin Moseley 12 times over.
Caseys Kiss of Death - April 4, 2008
the blame IS to moseley...
...we are in agreement...
Rev Halofan - April 4, 2008
Sorry, I wasn't clear with my intent
Dustin should be blamed TWELVE times for his failures today. 12 BoG points.
Caseys Kiss of Death - April 4, 2008
I dislike him that much
Caseys Kiss of Death - April 4, 2008
rich thompson for BoG

GA
how about taking your bat off your shoulders... he really does pout when He doesnt get to play in the field.
Sinatrasratpack - April 4, 2008
Why Quinlan?
It's not his fault that the team decided to keep him rather than bring up Kendry Morales. As long as he's on the roster, he'll get occasional playing time, especially against lefties (even if he can no longer hit them).
But yeah, Moseley really imploded today. That was very disheartening.
jjackflash - April 4, 2008
I should add
that Rich Thompson sure doesn't look like he wants to stick around, although maybe he just shouldn't pitch against Texas (9 ER in 2 2/3 IP, for an era of around 30.37).
jjackflash - April 4, 2008
Kenny G'd

Oh well. 5 down, 157 to go...
ReggieBullits - April 4, 2008
Well I am going to use April's right here
You fucking suck:
1. Dustin Moseley
2. Rob Quinlan. I thought there was not a platoon per Mike S.
hauldog - April 4, 2008
we need to get rid of this platoon and let casey get more add bats
stezo - April 5, 2008
i vote for Q
moseley did suck
GA did suck (until final swing)
Q sucked & had a brain fart
bases loaded, down by five runs, 0-2 count

hittheg - April 4, 2008
It was a 2-0 count
edhoo - April 4, 2008
duh
hittheg - April 4, 2008
backasswards
been drinking
hittheg - April 4, 2008
maybe Q was too
in that case i take it all back
hittheg - April 4, 2008
Whoa there homey's (or homies)
Let's not get too carried away yet.
Although, I am wonder how my logic applies when I am ready to put Iz batting 2 and GMJ 9.
Like I said, it is early.
vladtheimpaler - April 4, 2008
maybe rivera should play against lefties
instead of gmj
wasn't he terrible against lefties last year?
hittheg - April 5, 2008
and kotch isn't that bad vs lefties
stezo - April 5, 2008
instead of Q
hittheg - April 5, 2008
im sorry if this has been addressed already...
but why the EFF was Q in there tonight???
Kotchman was en fuego up in Minny, and we're gonna put in the guy who can't for the HOME OPENER?!?!?!
i was soooooo pissed when i saw the intros.
but on a lighter note, i got an awesome birthday present tonight - a game worn Howie Kendrick spring training jersey.
howiestheman - April 5, 2008
sciocia
he loves Q's ability to hit lefties (not shown tonight), despite the world's universal dislike of him playing at all.
yeswecan - April 5, 2008
silver lining
at least the angels showed a bit of pride in the bottom of the ninth. cupie was in full rally mode from the beginning of the inning -- to his credit -- so expect to see more of that from him this season. and, hopefully, from the angels, too.
yeswecan - April 5, 2008
TV did a good job of showing all the fans rallying their asses off.....
You could hear the chanting for Torii and Reggie, and "Let's go Angels!"
44FAN - April 5, 2008
It's my fault, guys...
I got a jersey as a gift for father's day last year, and every freakin' time I wear it to a game...
You want proof? Guess when I took of the jersey... Yep. After the 8th.
Sorry. Should have done it sooner.
red floyd - April 5, 2008
Quinland=Shea Hillenbrand 08
Quinland shouldn't even be riding the pine on this team let alone starting at the home opener. He's totally Scooby doo'd Sciocia into thinking he can play at this level. DFA him and bring up Cowbell.
Halo21 - April 5, 2008
completely agree
i couldn't believe he was starting to home opener.
thats ridiculous
howiestheman - April 5, 2008
I agree as well! Quinlan must have black mail on Sciocia!! The guy is horrible!! I was pissed when I saw him in the line up for opening day.
angelfanjb - April 5, 2008
As lame as Kenny G is...
I gotta say as a former grade school sax player, that long note was amazing.
Doctor Wu - April 5, 2008
thousands of hippies can do the same thing
circular breathing is not a sign of talent, nor is it rare -- it means you can play the didgeridoo, commonly played in australia and in drum circles at Burning Man.

YWC=Panther
that was a classic reponse man! being a musician and having been to Australia....that was good man.
SCHalo - April 5, 2008
we thought there was going to be a flyover...
and hence the long note. Stupid, absolutely stupid. As it ended up, a Southwest Airlines flight flew over as Kenny G-spot was blowing that long note. That was our spectacular flyover and the reason for the long note.
Downing Rules - April 5, 2008
seriously, why was there no fly-by?
that kinda pissed me off too.
that and Kenny G holding that note out for no reason other than showmanship.... the national anthem shouldn't be made into a ridiculous spectacle, as it was last night.
howiestheman - April 5, 2008
Maybe because there are two wars going on at the moment....
and George Bush has all the reserves deployed?

scottnak - April 5, 2008
Yea
It's gotta go to Quinlan. Talk about folding under pressure.
Erik121 - April 5, 2008
BoG: Rich Thompson.
He put the game completely out of reach and will probably be sent down to AAA.

BROUSSARD SLAM MEMORIES (nightmares)
last years didn't hurt us (only soiled undergarments):
LINK -to- SHIELDS' GIMME on April 21, 2007
This years was a "take-our-breath-away" shot. This dude can rake against us. Jeez.
Downing Rules - April 5, 2008
Can we give the Goat to Sciscoa
1) for taking one of his hottest hitters and best defensive player out of the line up and giving Robbie a start--for the home opener no less
2) for giving GMJ at bats against a lefty when he had Rivera on the bench. Jr. only pertends to be a switch hitter. He can't bat right handed.
Halo84653 - April 5, 2008
And Anderson looked like crap
against the lefty too. Juan should have had 4 AB this game.
Halo84653 - April 5, 2008
Scioscia said in the LA Times he has to find a way to give
the bench players some at bats. Reggie, yeah, Q not so much. Ugh!
