Ervin was not dominant on the mound, and we had some strong plate appearances. Not Ervin
Vlad/Tex/GA were all strong offensively. Vlad gets an edge in one direction for his HR and 4 RBI’s, GA gets an edge in another direction for his 3 for 4 with 2 RBI’s, and Tex has an edge for getting as many hits as Vlad, scoring more runs, and making a web gem defensive play in the field to help save runs scored against.
So, all things considered, I fall back on the basic rule that Vlad and GA are doing what is expected of them, and give it to Tex.
Link to AP Reefer Madness SNIPPET: Vladimir Guerrero homered and drove in four runs, Garret Anderson had three hits and two RBIs, and the Angels beat the Orioles 9-4 on Wednesday with basically the same lineup that was held to one hit over eight innings by Olson in his big league debut.
Uh, no. It was NOT “basically the same” lineup. It was vastly different in that it did NOT INCLUDE Gary Matthews, Jr NOR Robb Quinlan.
Vlad.
Big homer in the first, plus 4 RBI = Panther.
Zu Long - August 6, 2008
Vladdy
4 RBI
GA also a good choice
HaloDutch - August 6, 2008
Vlad set the tone
Vlad for panther

Making fools pay for letting U Haul on base
Easyman also had a nice day.

P.S. - Mathis had an unexpectedly good game, as well.
Not enough for POTG, but I don’t want to slight his effort.
Stirrups - August 6, 2008
I thought you were gonna bitch about Frankie not getting panther :)
cupie - August 6, 2008
I thought U Haul
was expected to get on base and provide good D.
TheTypingFiend - August 6, 2008
I did like that grab.
TheTypingFiend - August 6, 2008
that grab was insane
halofan4life - August 6, 2008
I never even expected Tex to be on the team.
Stirrups - August 6, 2008
I doubt any of us were
But I’m glad he’s here to be considered for Panther
TheTypingFiend - August 6, 2008
I gotta go with...
a very comfortable looking Vlad at the plate in this lineup.

The guy has hit 20 HR every years he’s been under the Big A
Grichfan - August 6, 2008
Not to mention every year he had played a complete season BEFORE becoming a Halo.
Stirrups - August 6, 2008
what do you think he'll end up with this year
im saying 27 again
ihearhowie2.0 - August 6, 2008
I am on the record stating he'd be lucky to reach 25...
I am preparing the crow for that day, though. HAPPILY. And I hope it is really soon.

Vlad to go over .500 on Panther vs. BOTG
MidwayCityLivestock - August 6, 2008
That's the way to go into a day off
One goofy inning, and a quick finish to the game. Go Halos!
ViolaHalo - August 6, 2008
Vladdy doing his thang.........
props to the sheriff and to Lazy GA
norcaliangelsfan - August 6, 2008
F U Jay Payton
for cock-blocking our free Claim Jumper Sliders with that catch.
Otherwise, Geritol Anderson for panther!
PieceOfAase - August 6, 2008
Cock blocking is a fate punishable by ass kicking
Geritol did the job, so did Vladdy, so did U-Haul. Cock-blocking is not acceptable period and must be dealt with harshly.
highlandhalo - August 6, 2008
YAY!!!
GMJ wasnt in the lineup!! =)
mztrkrinkle - August 6, 2008
Haha
Perhaps a panther the for the bench sittin GMJoke.
Wytelitning - August 6, 2008
hence, victory

Don't you wish you had a gid that paid you to invent reality,
and had inept fact-checkers and editors supervising your day?
Stirrups - August 6, 2008
Also our Buddy
Ryan Budde caught that game
TheTypingFiend - August 6, 2008
... wait
Does he mean last night (Waters’ MLB Debut) or last weeek in Baltimore (a 5-2 loss to Olson)
TheTypingFiend - August 6, 2008
you might be right...maybe I'm the one smoking? ;)
