Final Score in Anaheim: Angels 3, Chicago White Sox 2
Scott Kazmir threw 120 pitches, but only allowed 2 ER in his 6 IP. The Angels bats held up their end of the bargain, with Maicer Izturis scoring a run early and driving one in the person of Howie Kendrick later on. Knotted at 2 at the 7th inning stretch, Torii Hunter led the bottom of the inning off with a solo Homer and it stood, making a winner of reliever Darren Oliver. Kevin Jepsen got 4 outs and Brian Fuentes got his 41st Save.
Izturis was filling in for a slumping Chone Figgins and did fine at 3B with the glove. Kazmir suffered from Weaveritis throughout the game, allowing more foul balls to extend innings and yet managing to sneak around the ever-present baserunners. He allowed 7 hits in 6 IP, 2 ER, struck out 2 and walked 3. He demonstrated to the Halo faithful that even when he doesn't have his best stuff he is still a battler. Kazmir remains winless as an Angel in 3 starts.

Let's Go Mariners!!!!!
Hunter for Panther… Obviously
Btw How Great was that USC-OSU Game Yesterday
Even if you’re not a Trojan Fan you have to appreciate a great Football Game when you see one.
Also, for all the UCLA fans out there, good job beating an SEC team, I always love watching a Pac-10 team take down the dreaded SEC.
Go Angels!!!
Hopefully Seattle can help us out today :)

college sports = slave labor
scholarship value >$100K and actually costs university nothing to have extra bodies in classroom, meanwhile profit margin for schools and slavery commission (NCAA) is quintuple what it is for any pro league.
Rev Halofan - September 13, 2009
The minor leagues for the NFL and NBA.
sothball - September 13, 2009
And yet, the game was still entertaining. And those football players get free education. So I don’t see your point.
Gorbachav5 - September 13, 2009
SoCal football at its finest.
UCLA’s D is sick this year.
SenorChuckles - September 13, 2009
just hope for no key injuries
and that the offense can sustain drives to keep them off the field.
SCHalo - September 13, 2009
for some reason
and i dont know why i have this amazing hate for barkley he just bugs me
mikvitu - September 13, 2009
Torii Hunter FTW
Not much offense today so that was huge.

NICE--Do you have a larger version of that pic?
I’d like to read the text…though I imagine it’s pretty similar to what Ersty wrote in his ad in the LA Times after 2006 when he joined the ChiSox?

Click on the picture in this link.......
It should show up here and you can read the text on the poster by clicking on the picture in the article.
norcaliangelsfan - September 13, 2009
Kaz kinda looks like Q Junior there
rspencer - September 13, 2009
Voted for Torii but
But Izzy and Howie both had amazing catches in the field.
red floyd - September 13, 2009
Maicer Izturis was luminous on sunday match.
44FAN - September 13, 2009
Jepsen should be the new closer ... next year.
Try to survive this year with the Fuentesaurus
highlandhalo - September 13, 2009
had to go with Izzy for today and yesterday
Fred Fredrix - September 13, 2009
winner!
vlad IS my man - September 13, 2009
Brilliant!
How long have you been waiting to deploy this?
rspencer - September 13, 2009
at least a month
Fred Fredrix - September 14, 2009
GOOD GAME!!!
kaz was a little shaky but got the job done and the rest of the team did well also a great all around effort which was nice to see after yesturday
TheAngelsColts - September 13, 2009
Watching Fuentes
is still easier than watching Frankie last year!
NJinHB - September 13, 2009
good point!
Rev Halofan - September 13, 2009
Wild pitches
screw with everyone’s mojo

Our 7th visit to the Big A this season
My wife surprised me with tickets this morning and the Angels are a perfect 7-7 when we go to a game.
Maybe we should go more often…. :-)
3rd Echelon - September 13, 2009
7 regular seaosn
11 postseason?
Rev Halofan - September 13, 2009
Fred Fredrix - September 13, 2009
Beltre Homers.
5-0 SEA, top of 5th
halofan4life - September 13, 2009
nice.
So might not lose any ground today either.
sweet.
norcaliangelsfan - September 13, 2009
If they lose we gain a half game
And it drops the magic number to 15

Apparently next weekend is “Red-Out” weekend in Arlington, according to the KRLD feed. Rangers fans are encouraged to wear red.
So when the Angels take the field this weekend, they will be presented with the sight of an entire stadium wearing the Angels’ colors.
I’ve heard a lot of good things about Texas hospitality, but this is really above and beyond! It’s like Miracle on 34th Street!
rspencer - September 13, 2009
You would think the team would think stuff like this through.
I guess all you can do is shake your head and laugh.
halofan4life - September 13, 2009
Yeah, what were they thinking?
As far as I have seen, it’s been years since red was their main uniform color, and even now the red unis are alternates, aren’t they?
rspencer - September 13, 2009
They are.
You would think a “blue-out” day would make more sense. But who do I think I am injecting logic into their thinking.
halofan4life - September 13, 2009
Tip of the Hat to Mariners' manager Don Wakamatsu
Though the Ms had a 5-0 lead in the 8th, Don didn’t mess around. He brought in his top set-up man Mark Lowe. And even in a non-save situation in the 9th he had ace closer Aardsma finish up the game. So thanks Don for not taking any chances.

Kazmir for POTG.
Ed@northridge - September 13, 2009

norcaliangelsfan - September 13, 2009
Both of my fav teams won today, Angels and Aaron Rodgers and the Packers!

cutler for panther

there is always next week...
44FAN - September 13, 2009
Welcome to the NFC North cutler.
GB’s O-line is going to be a problem all season, but at least Rodgers grew up at the right time. Our WR’s were dropping some balls tho, funny because they are all usually clutch. And did you see our D? We actually starting blitzing and got inside of Crybaby Cutlers head. Its going to be a good season…
SenorChuckles - September 14, 2009
First Game Question Mark
is GB O-Line that bad, or is the George Halas Transvestite Defense that good?
Never bet NFL until week 5
Rev Halofan - September 14, 2009
Barbre might be out of a job soon.
SenorChuckles - September 14, 2009
Tori's blast was worth the sunburn I got at the Big A today.
Thanks!
