well it would have been his final @ bat…but the whole series he got @ bats that he shouldn’t have really if they were competing…he was swinging like vlad does
Gammons just said that Vlad is comparable to Dawson and probably should not make the hall. That sucks. I think he’s just bitter that Ortiz and his Soxs are in the toilet.
He’s a sycophant for the Sox. Trust me, Vlad is going to get in. If you don’t trust me, look at the Hall indicators on Baseball Reference. The question is whose cap he wears.
Missing the 500 HR mark in the middle of the ‘roids era. On the other hand, it WAS in the middle of the ’roids era. And he’s a spray hitter, so not so many HR’s. Andre Dawson, a generation removed?
how about the series losses to the white sox and the rangers?
and the hacking and horrible showing yesterday when wonder boy threw about 20 pitches threw 9
let's hold 'em

Moondoggy - August 10, 2009
And you know what? I haven’t seen the supposed weakness in his defensive play either. He has all the makings of an all around great player.
firebird81 - August 10, 2009
part of it he doesn't have to make the plays that Teix does
to protect St. Derek and ARod from leading the league in errors

haloak - August 10, 2009
Gotta love that early inning "effort" from GMJ.
Turned a single into a double, and allowed the runner to coast home on the next XBH.
Turks Teeth - August 10, 2009
uh...he would have scored from 1st on that triple
Moondoggy - August 10, 2009
Are we sure?
Abreu has six outfield assists, and might have played the ball differently with a man on first instead of second.
Turks Teeth - August 10, 2009
And Gregg Zaun?
Slow-footed catcher with two stolen bases in FOUR seasons total.
Not exactly Jason Bartlett on the run end of that RBI.
Turks Teeth - August 10, 2009
Its too bad Morales is so awful with the glove
Oh wait, hes the third best defender at first in the majors…

Rev Halofan - August 10, 2009
its one of his first starts since being called up agaisnt arguably the best lineup in the league
give sean o a break, those guys hitting him are pretty damn good
sctrojan13 - August 10, 2009
I think he is really just a good AAA pitcher, just being frank and honest.
I do like his approach to the game etc.
44FAN - August 10, 2009
i think he is a really good 4 starter
and this year he might have to be #3 and well see if he can do that
sctrojan13 - August 10, 2009
Look he is 21 he WILL get better
but not in time to help us this season.
Rev Halofan - August 10, 2009
I keep forgetting that though he looks quite a bit older.
44FAN - August 10, 2009
yeah...he's a moose
Moondoggy - August 10, 2009
he might have to be the starter
in game #3 and if we make the playoffs with him in the rotation, i consider him helping

This season’s Angels have always gone on long win streaks with little stretches of poor play in between. They’ll start kicking ass again soon.

jepsen has that look goin'
figgifig - August 10, 2009
so what do we think of vlad tonight?
hit one deep but killed a rally in a spot where the game could have been broken open
personally id take someone else who would at least hit a sac fly even if he didnt hit a home run previously
sctrojan13 - August 10, 2009
if you could predict outcomes, then sure
with vlad you get all or nothing — and throughout his career he’s been far more ALL than nothing.
yeswecan - August 10, 2009
Hey...
At least he’s hitting home runs again. Everybody’s prone to kill a rally every now and then. This is the best Vladdy’s looked all season.
moosemastr - August 10, 2009
now just stop that silly talk college boy

BryanHarvey'sMoustache - August 10, 2009
Bullshit ump
moosemastr - August 10, 2009

Moondoggy - August 10, 2009
wrong Guby...he was out
Moondoggy - August 10, 2009
zobrist looked kinda shocked!
figgifig - August 10, 2009
and then he clapped for the ump's decision.
opiejeanne - August 10, 2009
cause i think he knew he was out
figgifig - August 10, 2009
not something you see too often
Moondoggy - August 10, 2009
he was out.
firebird81 - August 10, 2009
Gubi, put down the crack pipe!
firebird81 - August 10, 2009
STFU, GOOBY
He was TOTALLY OUT. The goddamn second base umpire made the safe call BEFORE THE ZOBRIST WAS EVEN TOUCHING THE BAG.
scareduck - August 10, 2009
he sure did.
firebird81 - August 10, 2009
He got around. Stop complaining.
P Brady - August 10, 2009
Wrong
He got tagged on the thigh before he got his hands hooked around Aybar to even reach the bag.
scareduck - August 10, 2009
agree
Moondoggy - August 10, 2009
Take the homer glasses off, bro
He got around
P Brady - August 10, 2009
BS
I saw the slo-mo replay. He was out. Bro.
scareduck - August 10, 2009
Don't get testy man, I'm sorry if you're jard of hearing.
P Brady - August 10, 2009
you obviously didn’t watch that replay.
firebird81 - August 10, 2009
I watched the replay twice...
…and I still don’t know.
Turks Teeth - August 10, 2009
bro, huh?
i think i’ve seen you around huntington beach
figgifig - August 10, 2009
he most certainly did not.
firebird81 - August 10, 2009
I've said it before and I don't want to beat a dead horse
but Guby sucks
Moondoggy - August 10, 2009
I like Gubi.
If the slide convinced the ump, then the slide was good. There’s some theater in the game, and it works on close plays.
Gubi was right. If you can play the ump on a close play, it’s a good slide.
Turks Teeth - August 10, 2009
if you keep
typing in all caps i think gubi will here you
figgifig - August 10, 2009
he will here us here
Moondoggy - August 10, 2009
How about
italics?
scareduck - August 10, 2009
nah...all caps
Moondoggy - August 10, 2009
then he'll think we speak in French
eyespy - August 10, 2009
question is
do french people type in italics then?
figgifig - August 10, 2009
Only when they're speaking Russian.
Turks Teeth - August 10, 2009
wat happened?
sctrojan13 - August 10, 2009
Umpire on crack
scareduck - August 10, 2009
for the steal?
sctrojan13 - August 10, 2009
trojans lost
figgifig - August 10, 2009
Yes
scareduck - August 10, 2009
Yeah, it's a great call if you don't consider tagging someone as a way to make an out
Carl Johnson - August 10, 2009
Ugh...
Figgi4life - August 10, 2009 via mobile
Ump was out of position on that call.
Chone's Chonies - August 10, 2009
just strike thi ugly guy out and get out of this inning
Moondoggy - August 10, 2009
pop up works too
Moondoggy - August 10, 2009

No harm, no foul

was he not one batter away from his final at bat?
salmonforever - August 10, 2009
well it would have been his final @ bat…but the whole series he got @ bats that he shouldn’t have really if they were competing…he was swinging like vlad does

A-Rod hit a solo shot
To break the scoreless tie in the seventh…and gets a curtain call…And then there was Tex’s…

Notice how different Tex acts as as Yankee than when he was an Angel?
44FAN - August 10, 2009
What do you notice as being different?
He always struck me as being terribly politic, like a man who knew he was going to be changing teams frequently at the first possible opportunity.

Yeah dat
wumbug - August 10, 2009
yeaa vladdy
if he stats this clutch ill allow the rally killing
of course i gotta say congrats to big daddy vladdy who is for sure a HOF’er
sctrojan13 - August 10, 2009
Maybe the first with an Angels cap
scareduck - August 10, 2009
Depends on how long he stays with us, I think.
Does Arte sign him to a short deal for that reason alone?
If Vlad went into the Hall I’d def be at Cooperstown for the induction.
cardinalwraith - August 10, 2009
Absolutely deserving of having his jersey# retired by our franchise.
HALO N BRIMSTONE - August 10, 2009
That's a given.
But the question is: Expos cap or Halos cap?
cardinalwraith - August 10, 2009
Halos cap
I’ll put money on it.
scareduck - August 10, 2009
NOoooooo! Expos are the reason his legs are a mess. And his back, I think.
opiejeanne - August 10, 2009
you all think he will make the hall?
cupie - August 10, 2009
He’s DEFINITELY making the hall, good chance on first vote.
firebird81 - August 10, 2009
It seems likely to me
But he’ll have to hit another 100 HR. Maybe.
scareduck - August 10, 2009
I really want him to make it
but yeah me may have to hit some more HRs
JoseGuillenSux - August 10, 2009
to be honest i just don't see it
cupie - August 10, 2009
It's kinda borderline
but given Vlad wasn’t involved in all the steroids nonsense, the Hall voters could be swayed by The One Guy Who Wasn’t Involved In Steroids.
scareduck - August 10, 2009
Vladdy? I hesitate to say anything after being shown what a silly girl I am
regarding thinking Torii might make HOF.
opiejeanne - August 10, 2009
Yup
just a shame…take away that turf and he would be a much more talented batter than he was already
JoseGuillenSux - August 10, 2009
I worry that he's in pain every time I see him running the bases.
opiejeanne - August 10, 2009
No caps please, regrow the dreads instead!
HALO N BRIMSTONE - August 10, 2009

sctrojan13 - August 10, 2009
welp Im out...........
good all
Hold on to the win guys…….and I’ll see you all next week!
Hopefully with some extra nevada cash in my hand
norcaliangelsfan - August 10, 2009
is tonight a sign
that the 8th inning is jepsens to lose and bulger will be the 7th?
sctrojan13 - August 10, 2009
I think Sosh said Jepsen was the 8th inning guy about 2 weeks ago
tanana40 - August 10, 2009
oo wow
apparently i missed that, thanks
im interested to see how dondo will fit into the mix
sctrojan13 - August 10, 2009
Didn't see that
I thought the official word was that they were still casting about for that role.
scareduck - August 10, 2009
I don't think it was official, Mike just said that Jepsen had the stuff to be the 8th inning guy
and I don’t remember where I read it or heard it or if I’m full of it.
tanana40 - August 10, 2009
anyone else
kind of want bartlett to get a single?
sctrojan13 - August 10, 2009
Pass.
Slasher52 - August 10, 2009
NO
chairmanofthebar - August 10, 2009
relax
its just a single that would be harmless
and
sctrojan13 - August 10, 2009
sorry dumb sb nation, i didnt press sumbit
its not like im saying he should get a hr or a triple
sctrojan13 - August 10, 2009
Still no.
But you’re quite a sport.
Slasher52 - August 10, 2009
of course my angels come first
but as long as they win im a huge baseball fan and i like seeing things like cycles
plus i was born in tampa and they are my fav team in the al east
sctrojan13 - August 10, 2009

Slasher52 - August 10, 2009
We're gonna need, like, several more runs
Carl Johnson - August 10, 2009
no we dont
i feel more comfortable with the fuentesaurus coming in with a 1 run lead than a 3 run lead
sctrojan13 - August 10, 2009
Gammons on Vald
Gammons just said that Vlad is comparable to Dawson and probably should not make the hall. That sucks. I think he’s just bitter that Ortiz and his Soxs are in the toilet.
gohalos912 - August 10, 2009
He just sucks on the teet of the BoSox.
Slasher52 - August 10, 2009
Gammons hasn't been the same since his stroke.
He’s a sycophant for the Sox. Trust me, Vlad is going to get in. If you don’t trust me, look at the Hall indicators on Baseball Reference. The question is whose cap he wears.
cardinalwraith - August 10, 2009
Who is Dawson? Or is that the point?
opiejeanne - August 10, 2009
andre
tanana40 - August 10, 2009
He hit 438 home runs in 21 seasons.
This is Vladdy’s 13th season. I do not see the comparison.
opiejeanne - August 10, 2009
I can see that
Missing the 500 HR mark in the middle of the ‘roids era. On the other hand, it WAS in the middle of the ’roids era. And he’s a spray hitter, so not so many HR’s. Andre Dawson, a generation removed?
scareduck - August 10, 2009
what was his reasoning?
sorry about the dumb questions, give me a week and ill be in cali to watch the games
sctrojan13 - August 10, 2009
Jim Rice
50 fewer HRs than Andre Dawson and in that bullshit Fenway Tee Ball park.

Quinlan's Goofy Swing - August 10, 2009
Mathis' life is a shame spiral.
But he’s a big leaguer, and I’m not. I’m now in a shame spiral.

Quinlan's Goofy Swing - August 10, 2009
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
EXCELLENT, MIKE!
scareduck - August 10, 2009
Aw, hell
He was in the batter’s box. So, no batter’s interference.
scareduck - August 10, 2009
WTF
Interference, ump? You sack of shit.
moosemastr - August 10, 2009
Shite
scareduck - August 10, 2009
OH FOR THE LOVE OF HGH
CMON GARY
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - August 10, 2009

WTf?
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - August 10, 2009
helllllllll nah
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - August 10, 2009
No way did HGH interfere with that one.
moosemastr - August 10, 2009
Agreed
scareduck - August 10, 2009
Really Blue?
TheTypingFiend - August 10, 2009
man bathroom break?
what happened?
figgifig - August 10, 2009
Napoli tried to steal second
Zaun overthrew the ball, Napoli took third on an apparent error, but was forced to go back to first on a call of batter’s interference. BS call.
scareduck - August 10, 2009
GMJ swung and missed at a pitch with Napoli running
he stayed in the batters box and ducked, and the ump ruled he interfered with the throw. Biggest blown call I’ve seen.
MH252525 - August 10, 2009
This week, anyway.
moosemastr - August 10, 2009
wow
both thanks
figgifig - August 10, 2009
that was a gopher ball
too bad he missed
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - August 10, 2009
bah. stupid umps.
opiejeanne - August 10, 2009
Holy Shit
all GMJ did was swing and stay in the f’ing batter box
MH252525 - August 10, 2009
He even ducked
TheTypingFiend - August 10, 2009
unless his bat hit the catcher…..
firebird81 - August 10, 2009
his bat is allowed to hit the batter if it's part of the swing which that was
MH252525 - August 10, 2009
the catcher I mean
MH252525 - August 10, 2009
so true
6.06
A batter is out for illegal action when — ©© He interferes with the catcher’s fielding or throwing by stepping out of the batter’s box or making any other movement that hinders the catcher’s play at home base. EXCEPTION: Batter is not out if any runner attempting to advance is put out, or if runner trying to score is called out for batter’s interference.
Rule 6.06© Comment: If the batter interferes with the catcher, the plate umpire shall call "interference." The batter is out and the ball dead. No player may advance on such interference (offensive interference) and all runners must return to the last base that was, in the judgment of the umpire, legally touched at the time of the interference.
but looks like the ump can interpret this as he pleases.
eyespy - August 10, 2009

Moondoggy - August 10, 2009

I’m still hoping Evans gets his shot.

Um, okay
but seriously, “Howards commercial” and “sucks” are synonyms, no?

he wont blow this, im 100% confident in him
sctrojan13 - August 10, 2009
Xd
nice, and add me to the bandwagon
eyespy - August 10, 2009
This inning
is where Fuentes gets his groove back.
Ericppk - August 10, 2009
if he gives up 1 run he might as well give up 5 because we ain't likely winning
with Bulger and Jepsen already spent
MH252525 - August 10, 2009
olly and dondo are still available
worst case
sctrojan13 - August 10, 2009
when did dondo return?
eyespy - August 10, 2009
when squanto went to the dl
he pitched last night agaisnt the rangers
and went 1.2 i think giving up just a solo hr
sctrojan13 - August 10, 2009
by the way
thats saunders new nickname (for me at least, if u guys pass it on it would be awesome)
sctrojan13 - August 10, 2009
When they sent Joe Saunders to the DL.
scareduck - August 10, 2009
C'mon now
He’s had a lot of time to work on his stuff since that implosion.
