Waking up, stumbling to the computer, and catching the 9th inning where, get this, SRod (who everyone says can’t deal with MLB pitching), Izzy, and HGH (Mr. HIDP) put us over the top. Great Win. So stoked for the day now.
i have a feeling june will be much kinder offensively
howie, figgy should add some spark.
and vlads gotta turn it on for good at some point, right? I remember him being miserable 2 seasons ago going into july and then he finally woke up. lets hope that starts in june this year
did you see his ENGLISH interview with Jose Mota yesterday on the post-game show? It was pretty good. He was not perfect, but I was impressed at his attempts to convey his answers in English. This guy has really one-eightied from last year.
His mound presence and home-road split discrepancies are also much, much improved this year. Scioscia deserves some kudos for sticking with him and not wavering in his support of Ervin.
Go back to last year when Santana was'nt pitching so well.
When he is’nt doing so good he refuses interviews or only does them in Spanish through interpreter. Now that he is having the great success on the mound he is happy to do interviews and speak in English which he has always been able to do. It is all what Ervin is in the mood to do.
I thought the interview was great and showed off his new found confidence. Ervin’s successful comeback is one of the great plusses for the Angels this season.
Leyland said Carlos Guillen has been shifted from 3B to DH because Guillen has a bad case of hemorrhoids. Guillen made two errors in the opening game of the three-game set in Anaheim. Inge started at third Tuesday.
Bout, damn time

Ervin! CG win, saves the bullpen.
FSN Detroit is giving Magic big props.
Fan Since 1981 - May 27, 2008
And my work for tonight :)
scottnak - May 27, 2008
Everyone on the pregame picks should be a winner!
melvintoast - May 27, 2008
first time i have ever seen that
UCIHalo - May 27, 2008
good panther call
with special recognition to SRod, GA, Reggie, and GMJ
tanana40 - May 27, 2008
Also want to point out that with this win, we win this series against Detroit.
cardinalwraith - May 27, 2008
Great point...
while satisfied, it might be nice to bring out a broom tonight.
Downing Rules - May 28, 2008
they had me goin a couple of times, i was ready to put my fist thru the computer screen
halofan4life - May 27, 2008
I'am Happy!
Funke5ive - May 27, 2008
ERVIN
brings the magic…. GA SRod Reggie and GMJ all came up big when it counted
BigBangRobbDawgg - May 27, 2008
Panther: Scoscia
it took him 8 innings to realize the secret to winning is getting brandon wood out of the lineup, but he finally figured it out
ihearhowie2.0 - May 27, 2008
maybe its not getting Wood out,
but getting Reggie in
howiestheman - May 27, 2008
word
halofan4life - May 27, 2008
seconded
UCIHalo - May 27, 2008
its either dick or Q
im not satisfied with either, and dick plays better D
halofan4life - May 27, 2008
Panther: You
For finding ways to bitch even after that win.
Zu Long - May 27, 2008
im not bitchin
just commentin, a general observation
halofan4life - May 27, 2008
he was talkin to me
ive been giving wood a really hard time
ihearhowie2.0 - May 27, 2008
sorry to steal the spotlight, u can have it back
halofan4life - May 27, 2008
that's what she said....
jimmuscomp - May 27, 2008
ZING!
haha
howiestheman - May 27, 2008
thank you thank you
i just kept my same approach, stayed with it. lets hope to turn it around!
ihearhowie2.0 - May 27, 2008
LOL
Well played.
Zu Long - May 27, 2008
how sick is our rotation right now....
unbelievable… as crappy as the O has been… you have to still be stoked that our starters are going 7-8-9 innings giving up 3 runs or less
BigBangRobbDawgg - May 27, 2008
i think we have the lest worked bullpen in the bigs
good problem to have
UCIHalo - May 27, 2008
if if this keeps up we should give all of our starters the day off
and let the entire bullpen split up a game. that would be fun
UCIHalo - May 27, 2008
haha
talk about an up and down game if that were to ever happen
ihearhowie2.0 - May 27, 2008
its just amazing that we find a way to win with so few runs
UCIHalo - May 27, 2008
we have Angels on our side
Funke5ive - May 27, 2008
just thinking that
UCIHalo - May 27, 2008
great pitching, does it everytime
halofan4life - May 27, 2008
can Butcher coach hitting, too?
cuz he’s doing some crazy good with the pitching staff… it may not hurt to try it
howiestheman - May 27, 2008
smaller perk:
ervin got me a W & CG in fantasy by it not going to extras! wooo
ihearhowie2.0 - May 27, 2008
me too!
w00t!
howiestheman - May 27, 2008
fantasy high five
ihearhowie2.0 - May 27, 2008
OMG *high fives* LOLZ!!
:)
howiestheman - May 27, 2008
dooo beee dooo bee dooo....
Ervin totally screwed me with my picks….....but im glad he did cheers
norcaliangelsfan - May 27, 2008
um.
the picks were what bullpen pitchers were NOT going to pitch tonight.
so we all got 3 points as long as we made picks.
b0rd3rline - May 27, 2008
this is funny.
Downing Rules - May 28, 2008
will an offensive person ever be panther again?
norcaliangelsfan - May 27, 2008
not until half way through June
howiestheman - May 27, 2008
i have a feeling june will be much kinder offensively
howie, figgy should add some spark.
and vlads gotta turn it on for good at some point, right? I remember him being miserable 2 seasons ago going into july and then he finally woke up. lets hope that starts in june this year
ihearhowie2.0 - May 27, 2008
i hope you're right
and i have a feeling you will be.
as temperatures warm, our bats should follow suit
howiestheman - May 27, 2008
October!
Funke5ive - May 27, 2008
nah, our offense hibernates in October
howiestheman - May 27, 2008
at this point
stockpiling amo is my only explanation
Funke5ive - May 27, 2008
why would they when the pitchers are going deep in ball games?
Downing Rules - May 28, 2008
rest of the league has to be pissed
our enemic offense sputters and we’re still winning. can’t wait to get howie and figgy back.
SCHalo - May 27, 2008
oh, how seattle loves us now
Funke5ive - May 27, 2008
speaking of...
im sure glad BBTN updates EVERY EFFING PLAY during a sawx game.
man they piss me off…
they literally talked about manny’s homers while Angels highlights were starting to play
howiestheman - May 27, 2008
Oh come on...
Seatle’s going to win the west! All their fans told us so in Spring Training!!!
red floyd - May 28, 2008
best chance at a sweep yet tomorrow...
the colonel is on the mound !!
BigBangRobbDawgg - May 27, 2008
oh man, I <3 The Colonel
howiestheman - May 27, 2008
HH is complaining about the lack of offense.....buy Leyland isn't too happy with the Tigers.
I guess he was pretty annoyed with the post-game interviewer. He belched TWICE during the interview. LMAO!
Fan Since 1981 - May 27, 2008
can you blame him?
that was supposed to be the best offense…. ever.
howiestheman - May 27, 2008
i think it still can be if they get going
UCIHalo - May 27, 2008
that's a HUGE if, though
howiestheman - May 27, 2008
mr moe is not on their side
norcaliangelsfan - May 27, 2008
So would that make the Colonel
Mr. Mo Joe Saunders?
red floyd - May 28, 2008
he has to be twice as frustrated with his under performing offense as we are
UCIHalo - May 27, 2008
Hate...
to be in that clubhouse tomorrow (tonight?)
scottnak - May 27, 2008
that team is weird
i dont see them being good for long.
sheffield is like 80, magglio is due for another injury. miggy is clinically obese. dontrelle willis is still dontrelle willis.
and their farm will be pretty pricey.
that trade was seriously a curse it seems.
ihearhowie2.0 - May 27, 2008
i was thinking that same thing
howiestheman - May 27, 2008
Most wins in baseball... Halos baby!
melvintoast - May 27, 2008
How?
we’ll never know…. that’s incredible though
howiestheman - May 27, 2008
good pitching beating good hitting?
norcaliangelsfan - May 27, 2008
the only thing that irks me
the Oakland Lames are still winning….........
norcaliangelsfan - May 27, 2008
All four teams in the AL West won tonight.
44FAN - May 27, 2008
scottnak - May 27, 2008
Santana
Best Angels game of the year, because:
Santana gave up an early dinger. Oh,Oh, is he collapsing? Was his great early season start a fluke? Proceeds to totally destroy the kittens.
Even with Santana’s performance, no way the Angels can come back the way the offense is perfoming. AND GMJ GETS THE W.O.! HOLLY COW (copywrite HH).
DId I mention the D and Hunters diving catch?
vladtheimpaler - May 28, 2008
My thoughts exactly
If he does this a few more times people will not be able to question his mental make up
hauldog - May 28, 2008
I think he's mentally sound NOW...
did you see his ENGLISH interview with Jose Mota yesterday on the post-game show? It was pretty good. He was not perfect, but I was impressed at his attempts to convey his answers in English. This guy has really one-eightied from last year.
His mound presence and home-road split discrepancies are also much, much improved this year. Scioscia deserves some kudos for sticking with him and not wavering in his support of Ervin.

I thought the interview was great and showed off his new found confidence. Ervin’s successful comeback is one of the great plusses for the Angels this season.
44FAN - May 28, 2008
He thought he was treated unfairly by the media
That is why he boycotted english last year
hauldog - May 28, 2008
He thought his words were being misinterpreted.
Downing Rules - May 29, 2008
Humility at its best........
"It seems like I’ve made some contributions, had some big RBIs," said Matthews, who is hitting just .217 but has driven in 28 runs.
Downing Rules - May 28, 2008
sigh...
just more fuel for the fire.
howiestheman - May 28, 2008
I happen to like GMJ...
and I hope he breaks out of his funk, just like the rest of the offense (see Black Hole and Vlad Guerrero)
Downing Rules - May 28, 2008
TMI from Jim Leyland...
Leyland said Carlos Guillen has been shifted from 3B to DH because Guillen has a bad case of hemorrhoids. Guillen made two errors in the opening game of the three-game set in Anaheim. Inge started at third Tuesday.
Downing Rules - May 28, 2008
