Angels 9, Indians 5
Panther of the Game: Mike Napoli
A lot of good came out of today's game and the negatives seemed so situational - Moseley's 4 runs only happened because he had such a large cushion,Torrii's dropped ball happened in a situation with little to no threat to the game and can be blamed on stretcfhing Shields past the breaking point, ERA-wise.
Games like this (9 runs all on homers to benefit our 5th starter after a gut-wrenching loss) have been nonexistent for the Angels since late in 2004. I could see the 2001 squad killing the ball like this for a washed-up waiver-wire veteran on the mound, but for Holy Moseley it was the red-sea parting and the long ball flying.
We came within one strike of a sweep, really one bad call at the 1B bag that was a game-ending groundout for Speier called back on Tuesday, but the bottom line is a series win. Save the broom, rest up tomorrow, it is a hungry Seattle squad waiting under the rotating roof for us this weekend.

It was nice to see the ball flyin' out of the park today
rest up and travel tomorrow so they can get back at it and put some hurting on those damn Mariners.

Nice Win
I am not a fan of Moseley in the rotation. Oh well, it is a month,
I hope we put a beating on the Mariners.

Off topic:
We definitely could use a contest or two to come up with top-shelf win/lose imagery around here...

Since we're nit-picking your signature...
It's Bengie for Molina's first name. "Benji" was a cute little yellow rug-mut made famous in American cinema circa late 1970's. I remember seeing it at the drive-in in Fountain Valley.
As a note, I dig your personal "favorite Angel at each position" team, especially your left fielder.
