Vlad Guerrero HR paces Angels, Joe Saunders to Win Over Rockies

Final Score in Los Angeles of Anaheim: Angels: 11, Rockies: many fewer

On the day after shaving his head with some mace in the dark, Vladimir Guerrero hit a ball out of the Anaheim Trailer Park and started a flood of runs turning the rubber game of this interleague series into a laugher. It was only Guerrero's 2nd homerun of the season but is a sign of life that he may be back. Vlad also had an RBI double in the 1st inning and later scored that inning.

ALL of Guerrero's RBIs came with TWO OUTS.

Joe Saunders took a shutout into the 7th inning before he surrendered a solo HR and a single to get the hook at 103 pitches. With his 8th win, can Saunders be backing into All Star consideration? If so, he has company with Angels 3Bman Chone Figgins, who was 3 for 4 with a stolen base and scored 3 runs.

The Angels remain tied for 1st Place in the AL West with the Texas Rangers.

Note: Apologies for the confusion in this game's questions. The Rev's intent was (for the first two questions) to refer to the STARTING PITCHER only. While transposing this particular day's questions to the form, I added an "s" to the first two questions which may have made people think it was for ALL pitchers total (including myself). The results will reflect Rev's INTENT and thus the first two answers will be UNDER-UNDER. Sorry for the mix up!

For future references, if there is any ambiguity between the POSTED question and the FORM, go with the POSTED version. And if that's ambiguous, ask... and if there's no response, why not fire off an email for clarification. So this doesn't happen again. Again, sorry for the mix up... but it's only one game. Still plenty of points left in the season!

Okay...

Where in the name of F did you get that shot?

He might have gotten that one

from here.

Dude…the internet can be your friend.

Pre Game

the Soth to Vladdie

Soth " Vlad your arms, they are to long and getting way out there."

Vlad " Yes Coach."

Soth " You gotta shorten them, to get more control."

Vlad " Yes Coach."

Soth " Go talk to Brian, he’ll know what to do."

Voted for Vlad.

He’s back!
This was a fun game to watch!

If I could vote for both I would

Nice to see Vlad coming around

Chone is the man

missed the game

bummed that i did!

nice to see Vlad checking in (finally!!) and Bobby too!

Bobbys was crushed

Of out in a hurry, and deep.

Vlad for Panther. Making progress, buddy!

Results up.

And again, sorry for the confusion for today’s picks!

I got 3 points

so if I could understand the rules, anyone should have been able to!

pfffft!! :-p~~~~

A great night to be in the seats

Scored a pair of 227s via StubHub auction for $23.50 and came home with an 11-3 ass whoopin, 2 free Del Tacos, 24 free Hooters Wings, 24 free Claim Jumper wings and 2 free Angels coolers.

Tack on signs of life from the Impaler and an impressive performance from the Col. and it feels pretty good to be a Halos fan right now.

Cheers, dude.

The Claim Jumper in Fountain Valley is 1 minute away from a Del Taco and within 5 from Hooters. Enjoy!

+1 for you dude. anyone interested in a caravan to those locations tomorrow?
made out like a bandit

good for you

I was about to post something like this!!!

Yes, we got coolers, CPK pizza, Hooters wings, Claim Jumper Wings, Del Taco…and that’s it…We won everything we could…I think

Second that...

$7 tickets using the password “rally” and a bunch of free stuff! Hooray!

Go Halos!!

When I showed up the $7 were sold out. Paid $20, found Seats in 209 where nobody showed, STILL worth it!
Vlad

Big man needed a game like this.

On another note I watched the highlights of Vlad’s double and run scored on Morales’ single, He looks soooooooooooo much better then he has the past couple years. Running without limp, and running with authority. It was very promising.

WIN

and.....

freak!

dude really is all about two chicks…i mean…who isnt but…

2 is better than 1
2 is harder to handle...

and if jealousy sets in then one of them gets pissed erupting in a full-fledged fight….

sorry, bad experience.

I love black panthers

Heyre amazing

one of the more radical political groups to come out of Oakland in the 70’s.

Colossal game

Had one of the best times I’ve ever had at the park tonight, will in fact be fanposting the experience once I get the photos uploaded in a day or so.

The place just erupted

When Vlad hit it out…it was ridiculous.

soured like he had just hit a walk off grand slam Torii status
Excellent day at the park...

Absolutely made up for being there at two early season collapses. Gonna go get my wings and taco tomorrow!

Haha...

Will you be getting both your wings or just one?

Will you be getting pizza from CPK while you’re at it?

Will you be putting it all in your Angels cooler??

So I got the taco coupon but how do we redeem the wings and pizza?

Ticket stub? Also (since I never pay attention) what exactly is the giveaway from CPK entitle us too? Lastly, can I still redeem my pizza if I printed my tix at home?

Thanks! And great game to be at!

Show up with the ticket stub / printout and let them know before you order. They'll hook you up.
I'm curious about CPK too

This is because there were 10 Ks by Angels pitchers right?

I believe it's a discount

But not sure

2 coolers. Went below-seat diving after the typical CA fans left in the 7th.

And i will be going to Fountain Valley to make the short circuitous route mentioned above between claim jumper and hooters. I’ll have the taco for lunch at work…

bummer that I missed this one

Welcome back Vlad

They may replay it tomorrow.

They have replayed the two previous games against Colorado on each of the following days.

I hope that sentence made sense.

I'd probably miss it then......

Im in the midst of a move and so I dont have that much spare time right now…….thanks though.

I meant you could record it tomorrow afternoon, when it replays, if it does.
God Bless 'im...

When I saw that ball leave the park it felt like a huge load off my shoulders. Vladdy stays!

Two People Shot

I’m being told two people were shot in the parking lot at 10:26. Can’t find any other information. Anyone got anything?

here

Wow

Wonder how the officer is gonna make out on this one.

Panther: Angels dugout

Vlad was soooo pumped when he hit the hr he almost took off the third base coaches hand heading toward home. When he got to the dugout he was pumped and everyone just ignored him and stared straight ahead, solemnly. Vlad was like “WTF.” Then everyone erupted into joyous congrats. Abreu was busting out laughing as were the rest of the crew.

That is by far the most precious moment of the game. Anyone got video on that?

Great game

listened at work. made my whole day go by quicker

Hey Vlad

Thanks for the taco. There’s a Del Toxic next door to my office.

[om nom nom nom]

i can haz 2007 speier????
