about 2 years ago: ANAHEIM, CA - APRIL 23: Ervin Santana #54 of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim throws a pitch against the New York Yankees on April 23, 2010 at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California. (Photo by Stephen Dunn/Getty Images)
The game started off with the Angels grabbing a quick run in the 1st. But then in the 3rd, after Teixiera gets a ball to the arm... a Robinson Cano single allows him the opportunity to score. And despite the plate being half open, Teixiera decides to dig into Bobby Wilson, and knock him out completely (Oh, and don't forget to touch home base again afterwards). Bobby Wilson sustained a concussion and an injury to his left ankle as a result of the play. Got to hope it's not as bad as it looked... As for Teixiera... well, the comments are open for you to speak your mind about that...
Then again, perhaps this lit a fire under the Angels as they came right back to match the Yankees 3 runs, with 3 of our own! Unfortunately, that 1 run lead quickly disappeared after a Swisher HR. After that... we got an HBP rally, A pair of wtf-how-was-that-not-a-strikeout-pitch ump calls, and a pair of satisfying Ks to Teixiera. Not much. But lets give some props to Jepsen and Rodney for throw 2 innings of shutout ball!
Action picked up again after we get to the 8th! Hideki Matsui comes in, gets a well hit single. What goes with a hit single? Some more KOWBELL! Kendry Morales pulls through in the clutch and hits a 2 run Home Run to pull the Angels into the lead.
9th inning calls for Fuentes to get his revenge. How about we do this right this time?
Not only did Fuentes say yes, he did it without the drama! Fuentes shuts the Yankees down in the 9th, to chalk up another win. Light it up!

Mark Teixiera
About as classy as ever. <_<
Wilson wasn’t blocking the plate and he had the throw beat anyway.
Robviously - April 23, 2010
Wish I'd bet more on tex being the first K.
angelsfan7 - April 23, 2010
This win was for Bobby
blochead - April 23, 2010
To steal a line from Patton Oswalt, I hope Mark Texeira gets cancer of the AIDS of the leukemia of the eyes.

I’m calling a brawl before the end of the series. Because I gurantee once torii sees a replay, he won’t be thrilled
Figgi4life - April 23, 2010 via mobile
The Halos are more Classier than that but...
I wouldn’t doubt this series ends in a brawl. Pitchers were getting hit left and right. I’m surprised Rivera didn’t get ANOTHER HBP. And yea Teixiera was a little bitch when he was clearly safe at home….and I didn’t see him touch afterwards. Stupid Skankees!
Overall, I didn’t crap my pants with Fuentes on the mound! Lol Good job Halos! Good job Bam-Bam!!!

I suspect there will be a skirmish.

I was listening to the Yankees radio broadcast on my way to Princeton tonight
Sterling and Waldman were pretty much blaming Wilson for the accident. They said he was in Teixeira’s way and he mishandled the ball. I was shocked when I got to the hotel and saw the replay. The plate was wide open! The Yankees are an organization of assclowns top to bottom, players, coaches, broadcasters, everyone.
Too bad MLB doesn’t have the balls to hit Teixeira with the suspension he deserves. He has his $180 million contract, Wilson is a scrub. He may have seriously jeopardized someone else’s career, and the only punishment he’ll get is the high-fives from his teammates in the dugout for a “heads-up play.” Whatever. I’m mad, I’m going to bed.

Soth just called it a clean play when asked on the post game show.
44FAN - April 23, 2010
riiiighhhhtttt....
angels all star 2010 - April 23, 2010
He was the catcher's catcher
He would never complain about a collision at the plate. His reputation as a player was built around it.
Suboptimal - April 23, 2010
Soth has class
red floyd - April 23, 2010
Yes he does, but I thought that was a bit too diplomatic.
opiejeanne - April 23, 2010
Yankees TV
Thankfully the Yankees tv guys felt Tex didnt have to take him out like that, from what I heard on the replay on MLB.com
Mrbaseball - April 23, 2010
Glad someone said something
Sterling and Waldman had hardly finished knocking Angels fans for cheering when Teixeira got plunked by the time they started making excuses for the play at the plate.
Suboptimal - April 23, 2010
The TV announcers were commented on in the game thread.
red floyd - April 23, 2010
Waldman is the official Yankee fluffer for the YES network
The “dramatic” announcement a few years ago of Roger Clemens’ return to the Yankees was an overblown embarrassment.
Fan Since 1981 - April 23, 2010
Hey you're at Princeton

Downing Rules - April 23, 2010
Screw you yankess go home.
angels all star 2010 - April 23, 2010
Aybar need to bunt one up the first base line and
fake go around his tag only to side step and drop his shoulder right into Tex and plow him over, then put some spike marks in his face as he’s on the ground. That might make up for it.
MH252525 - April 23, 2010
One of the bench players
Needs to pretend to lose balance running to first and get an elbow to Tex’s neck, full speed, knocking him on his ass.
Pretending will give him a denyability alibi.
Bench player in case there is a suspension.
Halo Hurricane - April 24, 2010
I feel real good for Fuentesaurus
What a gutsy wacky crafty dart throwin’ sick sothpaw
Still want Rockin Rodney to close though, baby
Raaddad - April 23, 2010
POTG tomorrow will be whoever is the first
to plant a 2-seamer in that fucker Teixiera’s ear
Quad Fin Rider - April 23, 2010
Teixeira
The play wasn’t illegal, I’ll give him that. Just because it wasn’t illegal though doesn’t mean it isn’t total horseshit. By the way, watch the video and the way he curls up and slides on the side. What the hell kind of half-assed, pussy slide was that? Compare that video to Erstad laying out Johnny Estrada. Now that was a take out slide.
Teixiera should be gassed.
Teixeira Who? - April 23, 2010
The irony is he was on base because he was gassed.
Maybe he thought he was the one getting the payback with the collision.
bc56274 - April 23, 2010
payback would have been to charge voodoo
taking out a catcher that was 4 feet off the plate was just a cheap shot
teopeht - April 24, 2010
We can only hope that Wilson makes a speedy recovery
gets back on the club to get some quality playing time and soon.
It just sucks even more that it was his first start this year…and only the 3rd inning.
One thing for sure:
Bobby will live in Halo history for taking such a wicked crushing.
Catchers do get blasted, and the dude definitely took a blasting.
Get well BW!!
Raaddad - April 23, 2010

Figgi4life - April 24, 2010 via mobile
I can't stop watching replays of the Morales two run HR in the 8th
It makes the wilson play sting a bit less
RexTookMyStash - April 23, 2010
Eh
FAQ’s:
Q: Why do you suck at photoshopping?
A: Not sure…
Figgi4life - April 23, 2010
I don't care that those are the FAQ's
This picture is awesome.
Teixeira Who? - April 24, 2010
OMG! I just saw the replay: WHAT AN ASSHOLE!
I’m glad that suck face bitch isn’t on our team. If I was a pitcher, he would get a fastball in his ribs for sure.
Wally's World - April 24, 2010
That move by U-Haul was B.S.
No need to charge against Bobby Wilson, when he clearly beat the throw. That dirty MoFo.
halofolife - April 24, 2010
Say one thing for Q
(watching the 2nd broadcast of the game)
It looks like Weave and Mathis enjoy talking to him
there was a good lengthy shot of them bs-ing in the 7th
Raaddad - April 24, 2010
While I think that play at the plate was part of baseball -
I am predicting a bench clearer today…I’ll be in View Level taking it all in
