Halos Heaven

Thursday Safeco Pregame

7:10 PM - SAUNDERS @ RowlandSmith or Jakubauskas

Joe Saunders is our temporary ace, I guess they are all temporary like Achilles.There isn't much more to say with an ace on the mound besides "PLAY BALL!" and knowing that we skipped Felix and a seemingly healthy Bedard and still had the first two handed to us only for us to politely turn down such gauche things as an easy victory in the Pacific Northwest

Pregame Guesses:

  • YES or NO: The Angels will have a baserunner safely reach 3rd Base in any one of the first two innings.
  • YES or NO: Vladimir Guerrero will score a run in tonight's game
  • YES or NO: Scot Shields will throw at least one pitch in tonight's game

…I notice that in yesterdays picks you neglected to post your prediction in the comments.

Your fine work notwithstanding, I do have a question – will you be deducting those 2 points from your score?

(or the 2 from the day before)

From Seattle: Yes-Yes-Yes

Jakubauskas is going to pitch OK, but my guess is that he only goes 5. The only person in our bullpen that I remotely trust is Shawn Kelley and he pitched last night (and therefore might not be as sharp were he to be used). Vlad HRs off Batista and it either ties the game or gives you guys the lead. Shields will come in and shut the M’s down like he normally does…

As long as the M’s have Batista, Washburn and Silva you guys still have hope. In spades…

Jakubauskas should do very well

The Angels have enough trouble scoring runs (currently last in the AL). Last year I recall a few games where the Angels would struggle badly against pitchers with no track record.

From 2008:

Matt Harrison (Rangers): 7 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 1 BB 1 K (major league debut)
Sean Gallagher (A’s): 7 IP, 2H, 2R, 3 BB, 7K (AL debut, 1st appearance with the A’s)
Chris Waters (O’s): 8 IP, 1H, 0 R, 3 BB, 3 K (major league debut)

Yup...

Bad track record against new guys.
I’m a bit scared as well heh…

Yes-No-Yes

C’mon Halos! Let’s eat their northwest chowder.

Yes - Yes - Yes

Let’s take one before we leave town!

Saunders staring today, we need to win

yes, yes, yes.......

I can haz one win?

yes-yes-yes
Yes to the TURD POWER

LETS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes - yes - yes
yes - NO - yes

had to change my guesses, seeing how Vlad isn’t in the lineup today. I wonder what’s wrong with him?

Vlad is out with a strained pec

http://fromthedugout.freedomblogging.com/2009/04/16/vlad-out-indefinitely-with-strained-pec/21843/

thanks!

if Vlad goes on the DL, we better see Brandon Wood up here to DH!

If it's a tear and needs surgery, Vlad could be out for several months

I’ll consider it lucky if he’s only out 3-to-4 weeks.

no-no-no

Sorry to be debbie downer

Yes / Yes / Yes

Still thinking positive! It’s only been a little over a week!

Mr. Positivity
