Halos Heaven

Fuentes Shaves Moustache, Saves Weaver Win

Final Score in Anaheim: Mariners 2, Angels 3 ...

Star-divide

The Angels offense did just enough to help out their starting pitcher and the bullpen did what they were supposed to to make a winner out of Jered Weaver on a hot Friday night. Brian Fuentes pitched a 1-2-3 9th for his 17th save and Jered Weaver matched Felix Hernandez at 101 pitches, but Queen Felix had a lot of Halos on the bases while Weaver was able to take down the Seattle crew until new Mariner Justin Smoak brought them closer with a  2-run bomb. But that would be it on a hot and humid evening in Orange County.

Howie Kendric went 3 for 4, one of those hits being the 500th of his career. No batting title yet. The difference in the game as a GIDP by Torii Hunter with runners on 1B and 3B. Not exactly Murderer's Row or anything, but Weave got the W with 5 Ks to boot so on a night when Bengie Molina hit for the cycle in Boston on behalf of the Cocaine Cowboys, Angels fans can just be amazed the the things that were supposed to happen actually happened.

pretty solid and quick game......

cant ask for much more than that………….3 runs against an “ace” for our ACE……..and a great job by the Pen.

Plus no Dad of Vlad posts

almost a perfect game

and cath619 got to watch on her HDTV!!!!

Hugs all around.

awww, thanks

It’s really just a large, rigged monitor with (FINALLY) the right combination of cables and satellite receiver boxes and other stuff that I have spent way too much time and money on. You know, it’s not like I picked something up at Howard’s. ;)

Hugs to all!

Did she go to Howards???

Yeah, I know, she’s east coast…

too drunk to post
Is that even possible?

If there was rule disallowing posting on HH if your BAC is over .08, this place would be emptier than the Oakland Coliseum.

What with
all the washed up Angels having super years with Texas. Next thing we know, the Angels decide not to resign Shields and he has an AS year with Texas.

Did Bengie Molina seriously hit a stand-up triple

I think I saw him hit into a triple play once, and by the time they threw the ball to first he hadn’t shown up on the screen.

Is it because it gets warm earlier there?

Right about now Texas usually turns into Hell and they fold pretty soon once it gets really hot.

road game

against Boston’s AAA team

Heard
the ball bounced off the fielder’s glove leading to the triple. IMO it should’ve been a double and error on fielder.

either way

Bengie hurt his quad when running the bases! could there be a DL stint in his future? ifs so, thats just as bad as Kendry’s accident…accept they JUST traded for him. lol!

Although really

Losing Kendry is worse than losing Bengie

of course

but its something to laugh about.

Im all about the small victories this season. perhaps they’ll all add up to a division crown…perhaps not.

-1

but its something to laugh about.

Damn
Can’t Boston play baseball right? Tomorrow, if im right, Cliff Lee vs. John Lackey. Who do you root for? This is probably one of the few times I actually want Lackey to win tomorrow.

Horse face gets spanked early.

Boston comes from behind to win. Works for me.

heard
The Sox BP’s sucking right now.

gave up 2 runs...

hardly could be considered “spanked”. Tonight was the first time I had rooted for Lackey this year.

4-0 on games I attend.

I’m taking free ticket donations haha.

Small sample size

You’re basically the equivalent of Matt Palmer of yesteryear ;)

I have been to a lot of games since 2001,

and I’ve only seen one loss.

I've only seen one loss as well

and I was sitting in diamond club VIP seats one way away from home plate, and it was to the Twins. Fail.

one row away*

That sucks.

The only other game I attended that the Angels lost was a post-season game against Boston. The weather was horrible, hot, dry, Santa Ana conditions, and GA had pink-eye. Miserable game.

i meant mvp, not vip

I don’t want it to seem like i’m putting on airs :)

YOu
Reply fail.

You? Put on airs? Pshaw!

I've seen 14 ... THIS YEAR

10 wins, too. 3 trips to get free chicken wings, as well.

Any chance
the Angels get some starter better then Kazmir (and how he’s been pitching, it shouldn’t be that hard) sometime before his next start against the yanks? Why couldn’t Sosh put Kaz in against the Ms?

He's gonna let him go 5 innings apparently

in New York
They’re trying to get him to focus on 5 and bust it all out there for those 5 innings
They’ve used that strategy in the past with various pitchers

The old Aaron Sele ploy!
I can't remember, did that work with Sele?
Let's hope so

But is our long relief going to be any better?

ok, I guess it can't be any worse
Never EVER say that.

You’re tempting the gods.

Are you joking?

He’s barely made 5 innings in any game this season! How is this any different?

+1

It should be “he has a 3-inning leash or 3 runs given up”

Scottnak, you got the pregame picks results wrong. The answer is 5 not 2.

Combined number of hits in game by Aybar, Kendrick, and Abreu.

^This^

is correct, sir:
Admiral Aybar – 1
HK47 – 3
Bobby A – 1
  Total 5

oh biy did i fuck up

i recorded RUNS scored … will try to fix it … shit.

Yes you did.

But it’s all fixed up now.
everyone should have the right scores

scottnak

is MAGIC!!!

This is why I keep my own record of all this shit, I know you by now Rev. LOL
Be honest

you really have no other life.

honestly you really are a moron FunkeFive
You guys play nice now
Dad of Vlad says Hi
