Blame of the Game: Darren Oliver Dustin Moseley
I have been saving this LOSE photo for two seasons and it is finally an appropriate image to describe the pain of this particular game...
Hey... Texas lost! Now turn the page...

BoTG: Moseley
red floyd - September 5, 2008
fantastic image
but Moseley gets BOTG.
he started that crap, and gave us absolutely NO chance to win this game
howiestheman - September 5, 2008
AGREED
Oliver shouldn’t have been used in that blowout. You think maybe being called in so damn early contributed to his sucktitude?
scareduck - September 5, 2008
actually I blame the fact that he threw fastballs about 90% of his pitches........
and started everyone off with sliders………and then a steady diet of fastballs.
norcaliangelsfan - September 5, 2008
Okay, so there was that, too...
scareduck - September 5, 2008
ditto
ladybug - September 5, 2008
Pain? The duck seems to be...smiling (thinking of the movie A Christmas Carol).
Missed most of the game. I leave it to others to figure BOTG.
sothball - September 5, 2008
you mean A Christmas Story?
howiestheman - September 5, 2008
Yup.
sothball - September 5, 2008
Did the duck
put its eye out?
red floyd - September 5, 2008
I think the dog is about to take care of that too....
sothball - September 5, 2008
LOL for like 5 minutes
F**k a Duck, Classic. I like Mosley for BOTG less than Two inn, 6 runs
Andyman - September 5, 2008
Insert my BOTG GMJ
just because he played and the team lost………..so there you have……..Gary’s goose should be cooked……….that pic is gansta
norcaliangelsfan - September 5, 2008
wow, I have new desk top image.
That picture almost makes the loss worth it/
SFV88 - September 5, 2008

acuda27 - September 5, 2008
Rev -
considering the game and the image, i think the title should be “RAPED”
howiestheman - September 5, 2008
lol magic number to 5 my friend.............
norcaliangelsfan - September 5, 2008
doesn't change the abuse we were just slammed with
that’s just the mild silver lining.
howiestheman - September 5, 2008
Yeah...or since the dog is the "pitcher" and the duck is the "catcher"...
shouldn’t it be K-9’d instead of goosed?
sothball - September 5, 2008
Panther
Clutch - September 5, 2008
no, it shouldn't be
ladybug - September 6, 2008
Agreed
That’s not something to joke about. Ever.
jjackflash - September 6, 2008
agreed, too.
jimmuscomp - September 6, 2008
my 2 cents
I think this game should be a lesson to the people here who were calling for weaver to be used in trade during the season. Let Moseley’s blow up and skyrocketing ERA be a testament to that.
And I don’t think that Oliver should get the blame, it should either be Moseley or Sosh (for him taking out almost half of the regulars in the 7th). But since we don’t blame the coaching staff, I give it Moseley.
halofan4life - September 5, 2008
one might even argue for the re-signing of Judy after that debacle!
K3YEROUT - September 5, 2008
ive been quietly hopeing for that
halofan4life - September 6, 2008
BOTG: Moseley
performance for him today was craptastic
vlad IS my man - September 5, 2008
moseley =BOTG
craptastic start
vlad IS my man - September 5, 2008
Aflac!
Funke5ive - September 5, 2008
more like Aflllllllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacccccccccccccccc!
K3YEROUT - September 5, 2008
My goodness Moseley sucks
He had a 9.xx ERA in AAA in August… He didn’t do much better here.
infant - September 5, 2008
Yeah but he's got piercing blue eyes!
The Scottish barmaid fancies Moseley over EVEN Mayhem? Will wonders never cease?
highlandhalo - September 6, 2008
I don't know who gives me a more bitter taste in my mouth....Moseley...?, Bosux? or Willits (aka fungo bat) in a clutch situation?
hmmm….. =/ that’s a tough one! But seriously though,…tonight BOTG = Moseley x 1000
Halofanatic - September 5, 2008
BOTG: Moseley
Teixeira’s blinding star was’nt shining so bright tonight either.
44FAN - September 5, 2008
check out u haul's wiki . It got jacked it up.
vlad IS my man - September 5, 2008
never mind . got changed back by wiki
vlad IS my man - September 5, 2008
I'm sorry, what?
Oliver gives up fewer runs in more innings, and only did it AFTER we got buried by Moseley’s crappy start, and he gets the blame anyway?
Definitely on Moseley.
Caseys Kiss of Death - September 5, 2008
picture makes the loss worth it
ihearhowie2.0 - September 5, 2008
Wow.
I just realized that without descent starting pitching, we ain’t shit.
Moseley’s new nickname is LYNCHPIN.
Scuff - September 5, 2008
"Without decent starting pitching, we ain't shit."
Really? I think that makes us exactly like 29 other major league teams.
Caseys Kiss of Death - September 6, 2008
Really?
You forget that unlike these 29 other teams we have a very inconsistent offense. So if you don’t bring good pitching you need to rely on? That’s the key IMHO, how reliable is your offense?
How you gonna go against teams like the Rays and WSox who have a more consistent helping of both? I’ll take moderate consistency over sporadic volatility any day.
Honestly though, I would love you to talk me down of the ledge.
Scuff - September 6, 2008
the rays are a lot like us actually. theyve scored 6 more runs on the entire y ear
and they definitely dont have a mark teixeira or vlad guerrero in their lineup
ihearhowie2.0 - September 6, 2008
Evan Longoria says hi...
Pena is a solid OBP guy – not the average of Teix, but all the power and walks with plus, plus defense too.
Crawford, Upton, Pena, Longoria, Crawford and others – they are fine offensively.
jimmuscomp - September 6, 2008
You doubled up on your helping of Crawford there
He of the 91 OPS+. He’s a leadoff hitter with a .319 OBP. Garret Anderson is probably laughing at that number right now. He’s talented as hell, but he’s yet to put together anything.
And Longoria certainly has huge years in his future, but right now he’s not on the same level as Teixeira. His OPS is almost 100 points lower, and he still really needs to cut down on the Ks.
Caseys Kiss of Death - September 6, 2008
scottnak - September 5, 2008
i can't believe somebody actually picked him
you win, Stirrups. you freaking win.
howiestheman - September 5, 2008
is that Stirrups' dog and GMJ is the duck?
K3YEROUT - September 5, 2008
Broken clock.Twice a day. Etc., etc.
But it does look sweet….
Stirrups - September 5, 2008
All I can say is that if that had been a home game and I had bought tickets...
I would have left when I saw the lineups and demanded my money back!
BOTG needs to be changed to Moseley…he had major suckage and never should have been called up…
K3YEROUT - September 5, 2008
BOTG should have been that damn staple that stuck Weaver's hand
or that foul area grass that turned the ball fair, thus leading to Moseley’s demise.
That hack Moseley should never start another game again
PieceOfAase - September 5, 2008
do you guys think Sosh learned that GMJ/Quinlan are NOT the answer
and Thursday’s performances were the product of HORRIBLE pitching?
….or do we suffer another crappy lineup tomorrow?
howiestheman - September 5, 2008
rhetorical?
scottnak - September 5, 2008
kind of
but actually looking for opinions too
howiestheman - September 5, 2008

I am getting mulitple posts before I even finish typing.
Oh, well.
The dog needs to chill. Leave the duck alone.
Q is hitting .280 plus. Give me a break. As a backup it is hard to find better. Q haters are delusional. Quit dissing Q.
Angels rule. We’re going to beat up on chi town tomorrow.
vladtheimpaler - September 6, 2008
Moseley- BOTG
Throw some cold water on that dog.
hk47 - September 6, 2008
Moseley...
Moseley has been terrible at AAA Salt Lake this season…and he’d been awful with the Angels before yesterday’s start…so why on earth does Soth start the guy in a spot-start situation yesterday with home field advantage on the line?? You got me…
And further, how is Jason Bulger not with this team right now? Yet Darren O’Day and Dustin Moseley are?
hk47 - September 6, 2008
AAA Playoffs
they didn’t want to completely empty the team. Bulger’s the closer there. He’ll be back up when the AAA playoffs are done.
jjackflash - September 6, 2008
Or immediately, and look like an All-Star against the White Sox tonight...
