Panther of the Game: Mike Napoli
For the 2nd game in a row, the Angels served up a nominee for Victory-With-Least-Pride. The chances of Jon Garland making a postseason start - at least in the ALDS were likely diminished tonight. Oh well, the Soth can take his time deciding that although it will not seem to be as long as Garland takes in between pitches.
Speaking of the postseason, we are still ahead in the battle for home-field advantage and even better than that, one has to assume that the 4 American League clubs in contention for the 3 remaining post-season spots also have the aches, pains and strains that the Angel are once again nursing down the September stretch...
94 - 59 (2008 with 9 games left to play)
94 - 68 (2007)
95 - 67 (2005)
99 - 63 (2002)

yeswecan - September 19, 2008
A Triple for NIPPLE(s)
so he gets my vote for Panther…………Mike es gansta………….
norcaliangelsfan - September 19, 2008
oh Kudos to Dondo too........
2 inn of scoreless relief………
norcaliangelsfan - September 19, 2008
I dunno, Garland maybe?
He only raised his ERA by .6 tonight.
shiftyeyedgoat - September 19, 2008
nobody seconds?
shiftyeyedgoat - September 19, 2008
Only sloppy seconds
scareduck - September 19, 2008
Aybar should be considered
KO’d the only Rangers pitcher worth a damn, hit the ball well all night, and maybe most importantly made at least two phenomenal defensive plays that should have never been outs — that 9th inning carom jobbie & the flying splitsville double play with Nelson Cruz flying under his groin.

Guby predicts Angels have best record

Hostility Abounds!

You need to go post on that other website.

sothball - September 19, 2008
I like the setup over there
very nice post/reply interface
TheTypingFiend - September 19, 2008
...and you can avoid tonight's win pic!
Gad….my eyes had just recovered from the last “unveiling”.
sothball - September 19, 2008
One T
For ending that thing
eyespy - September 19, 2008
No way!
Super boring save celebration.
I didn’t even realize the game was over!
TheTypingFiend - September 19, 2008
Dondo gets my panther vote
He somehow was able to pitch 2 scoreless innings in that hitters haven
stolenbases - September 19, 2008
Mike Napoli is the Panther of the game.
One single short of the cycle, HOMERUN, triple, and a double, caught 213 pitches behind the plate, and was the player of the game on the post-game show tonight.
44FAN - September 19, 2008
GA is hitting .367 in the #2 spot
.290 on the season. Who would’ve predicted this?
yeswecan - September 19, 2008
Did'nt they say he has 80 hits now, and he had 80 all of last year? That's great.
44FAN - September 19, 2008
RBIs I think.
TheTypingFiend - September 19, 2008
Yea, 80 RBI
TheTypingFiend - September 19, 2008
Thanks, at least I got the 80 part right.
44FAN - September 19, 2008
Nipples & the Admiral get my votes
If GA wasn’t so lazy he’d have gotten one too.
TheTypingFiend - September 19, 2008
you get one vote.
Who do you think you are, the Democrat party?
shiftyeyedgoat - September 19, 2008
It's almost Fall. You need to be like a squirrel and bury the "Acorns".
sothball - September 19, 2008
Meh.
I’m using two.
TheTypingFiend - September 19, 2008
oliver gets 100th win
he’s looking good!
yeswecan - September 19, 2008
Yes, congrats to Oliver!
stolenbases - September 19, 2008
Oliver
Congrats for the 100th win
mjhsieh - September 19, 2008
Napoli for Panther!!
GREAT game for him, even though that all important CERA went up :P
seriously… when was the last time we had the same two guys go back-to-back in consecutive nights? Does Zu know?
howiestheman - September 19, 2008
Dondo: He stopped the insanity.
Too many panthers amongst the hitters. 15 runs; that’s impressive given the number of benchwarmers and Bees in the lineup.
Fan Since 1981 - September 19, 2008
hey infant....
cant find hostilehalos.com… where is it?
AnaheimHalos61 - September 19, 2008
Try floor 7 1/2

ladybug - September 19, 2008
a single shy of the cycle
who’d a thunk?
Moondoggy - September 19, 2008
Yeah
And we were all saying it was gonna be either Aybar, Hunter or Kendrick.
halofan4life - September 20, 2008
Hondo
I have to go with Mr. 1981, to hard to pick offensive player.
Minority Opinion: Me no likey win pick. Any chance we could go with a half dressed Jessica Alba instead?
vladtheimpaler - September 19, 2008
i know i've said it once, but i'll say it again...
I LOVE NAPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
he shoud play 120 games per year, at least.
he’s played less than half the games so far with 18hr and 40 rbi…
that equals out to MINIMUM 30 hr’s and 85 rbi’s.
he can bat .091 for all i care if he puts up those production numbers..
I LOVE NAPS. NAPS IS THE GUY.
NoDakHalo - September 19, 2008
He is on a roll
vladtheimpaler - September 20, 2008
Perfect Timing
halofan4life - September 20, 2008
He'd have to stay healthy
