Final Score in Game Two: Angels 10, Royals 2
Angels shortstop Erick Aybar lit up the Kansas City pitching staff, going 4 for 5 with 3 RBI, Bobby Abreu added in three doubles while driving in 3 runs and Rob Quinlan muscled up with a homer in the 3rd inning as the Angels scored 18 runs in the twin-bill. For the day, Aybar was a blistering 7 for 9 with 4 RBI and 5 runs scored. On the pitching side, rookie Sean O'Sullivan went 5.1, giving up 2 runs on 6 hits to get his 3rd win.
The shocker of the evening came in the 6th inning when Justin Speier entered the game with Jose Guillen representing the tying run on second base. Speier, who had retired just one batter out of the last 13 he faced, struck out John Buck and Ryan Freel to preserve the Halo lead.
The Halos broke open the game in the 7th when they scored seven times, highlighted by Aybar's bases loaded triple.
With Tuesday's losses, the Royals have lost 8 straight, while the Angels improved to 54-38 on the season and have won 8 of their last 10.

No love for Bobby?
Aybar got all his RBI on one hit. Bobby had 3 different doubles that brought in runs each time, granted it was Aybar he brought in twice.

LSB cracks me up .

No kidding.

Best part of winning
is looking at other blogs like LSB or LL and seeing how much they hate our team. My favorite line is “they can’t keep this up without Vlad or Torii.” or “they are soo lucky”. Winning with our current line up is the biggest FU to other teams. Let’s GO HALOS!!!!!!

Is it too late
To trade Aybar for a bag of balls?
BBFan1 - July 21, 2009
Honestly not a good thing to joke about
The guy who was traded for bats was really messed up because of it. There was an article in ESPN mag.

No love for Q...
he had a heck of a night.
Downing Rules - July 21, 2009
Hard to beat the guy who went a combined 7-9 in the two games.
Incidentally, I had a blast at Kaufmann Stadium, watching us sweep the doubleheader was well worth the $43 ticket. Now if you’ll excuse me I’m gonna go sleep for about a year. :)

I cannot argue with that. However, I saw no love and just thought I’d give some to Q.
Downing Rules - July 22, 2009
Aybar the first double panther?
linkbruin - July 22, 2009
I hate to be negative
But it’s only a matter of time before O’Sullivan gets lit up. We need to get another starter, and fast.
ETA - July 22, 2009
good point...
…he finally settled down, but was the most nervous I have seen him in any of his starts up here. Looks like someone may have scouted him, and that will be arounfd the league if he is slotted into a regular role here.

I love it when a plan comes together!
