Bout, damn time
Ervin was great
What a great start to the day

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.

17 in a row at one time
S-Rod should get a honorable mention!!
Assist to S-Rod for getting on in some big situations.
co assist to reggie willits

8th inning rally starter

Agreed.

Willits for the IF Single Spark!

heck yea

kid comes off the bench and hasn’t played in over a week, gets a single and scores a run. can we please start him more

who to replace

who to replace

id still replace gmj

thats hard to say, and probably wont happen, after tonight’s game

teach him how to play 3rd.
kid finally had a good game

good job

Ervin! CG win, saves the bullpen.

FSN Detroit is giving Magic big props.

And my work for tonight :)
Everyone on the pregame picks should be a winner!
first time i have ever seen that
good panther call

with special recognition to SRod, GA, Reggie, and GMJ

Also want to point out that with this win, we win this series against Detroit.
Great point...

while satisfied, it might be nice to bring out a broom tonight.

they had me goin a couple of times, i was ready to put my fist thru the computer screen
ERVIN

brings the magic…. GA SRod Reggie and GMJ all came up big when it counted

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

maybe its not getting Wood out,

but getting Reggie in

its either dick or Q

im not satisfied with either, and dick plays better D

Panther: You

For finding ways to bitch even after that win.

im not bitchin

just commentin, a general observation

he was talkin to me

ive been giving wood a really hard time

sorry to steal the spotlight, u can have it back
that's what she said....
thank you thank you

i just kept my same approach, stayed with it. lets hope to turn it around!

LOL

Well played.

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

i think we have the lest worked bullpen in the bigs

good problem to have

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

haha

talk about an up and down game if that were to ever happen

its just amazing that we find a way to win with so few runs
we have Angels on our side
just thinking that
great pitching, does it everytime
can Butcher coach hitting, too?

cuz he’s doing some crazy good with the pitching staff… it may not hurt to try it

smaller perk:

ervin got me a W & CG in fantasy by it not going to extras! wooo

me too!

w00t!

fantasy high five
OMG *high fives* LOLZ!!

:)

dooo beee dooo bee dooo....

Ervin totally screwed me with my picks….....but im glad he did cheers

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.

will an offensive person ever be panther again?
not until half way through June
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

i hope you're right

and i have a feeling you will be.
as temperatures warm, our bats should follow suit

October!

nah, our offense hibernates in October
at this point

stockpiling amo is my only explanation

why would they when the pitchers are going deep in ball games?
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.

oh, how seattle loves us now

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

Oh come on...

Seatle’s going to win the west! All their fans told us so in Spring Training!!!

best chance at a sweep yet tomorrow...

the colonel is on the mound !!

oh man, I <3 The Colonel
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!

can you blame him?

that was supposed to be the best offense…. ever.

i think it still can be if they get going
that's a HUGE if, though
mr moe is not on their side
So would that make the Colonel

Mr. Mo Joe Saunders?

he has to be twice as frustrated with his under performing offense as we are
Hate...

to be in that clubhouse tomorrow (tonight?)

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.

i was thinking that same thing
Most wins in baseball... Halos baby!
How?

we’ll never know…. that’s incredible though

good pitching beating good hitting?
the only thing that irks me

the Oakland Lames are still winning….........

All four teams in the AL West won tonight.
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?

My thoughts exactly

If he does this a few more times people will not be able to question his mental make up

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.

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.

He thought he was treated unfairly by the media

That is why he boycotted english last year

He thought his words were being misinterpreted.
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.

sigh...

just more fuel for the fire.

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)

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.
