Joel Piñeiro 3 HR Inning Dooms Angels in Detroit

FINAL SCORE IN DETROIT: LAA 6, DET 10 ...

It was actually a 1-2-3 third inning that doomed Angels pitcher Joel Pineiro on Friday night. He looked so good against the power hitting Tigers that Mike Scioscia stuck with him in rough 4th inning, ignoring a solo homer and a 2 run shot in the inning - and only taking out the righty when he surrendered a Grand Slam to Tigers rookie Brennan Boesch. It was the first HR of Boesch's career.

In the 8th inning, the Angels actually brought the tying run to the on-deck circle, a testament to their battling back ability as much as to how well the ball was carrying for both teams on a warm night at Comerica Park. Another plus: Torii Hunter hit a 3-Run homerun for the second consecutive game. It gave the Angels a 2 run cushion in the 3rd inning, 4-2, but the highlight reel was a short one on Friday night.

About the best thing one can say is that they wipe the slate clean tomorrow morning and we may never have to talk about about this game again...

BILL MCDONALD PACKED HIS BAGS FOR THE ROAD TRIP

And they are under his eyeballs.
Wow, spend a buck on makeup Angels, Billy Mac looks like a skin-flaky haggard old man.

this is why I read a blog instead of a newspaper
and of course to bad mouth Q at every turn.
what's a newspaper?
Chicks dig the haggard look!

At least, those with father issues.

did anyone pick 26

I had in my mind 26 but went less.

Get your mind right, son.

I had 13. Do I get half-points?
NNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

I HAD 26, BUT MOVED IT DOWN ONE TO 25!!!!!!!!

WHYYYYYYY??

Miggy Tejada with walkoff hit for Balt over BoSux...

Results up

Yesterday’s here : http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=0AoxuVmhACfQhdEZDd1JXbFpIR0VmWE43Nm9LM1dmSWc&hl=en&output=html

tee-hee

The bottom three crack me up XD

2000 hits?

what was he expecting a 200 inning game?

WOW, you know you're in for a long game when a fat, bug-eyed, career hack

like Gerald Laird goes yard on you, and two rookies homer for the 1st time.

On a positive note:

I’d like to give props to Christy (“baseballgirl”) for the outstanding job she has done facilitating the ticket requests for the HH gathering at the May 15th game vs. Oakland.
Got the tickets today and Crazy Chicken (my son) and I are psyched to come down.
Great work, Christy!!! (and whomever else was involved)

Rev: is there going to be a list of who is attending? Just curious.

I'd like to second that sentiment.

I got my ticket in the mail today.

Me three

She’s done a lot of good work to make this happen.

Pregame picks link FAIL!

At least they are on time this time….sorta.

Me too

When I click on the link, it says I’m not authorized to access that spreadsheet.

I feel so racially profiled!

World Champion Mariners

Choked away a game they should’ve easily won in the 11th inning on a failed suicide squeeze play.

On Cliff Lee day!
that's what they get

for trying to be bush league

They are in full multiple thread panic mode over there at the LL.

Their team simply cannot score any runs at all. That’s what you get by building a team around pitching and defense only. In Z we trust!

Pregame Picks results no-worky scottnak.
Yeah

I get an error message that doesn’t let me view the PP results

scottnak

fixed it – i had to call him on the PANTHERLINE to notify him!

doo do doo!
Thank you............massive FAIL by all fan member is in full view now!

And I spent all afternoon trying to decide between guessing 18 hits or 20 hits.
