Steve Finley Swoons

by Rev Halofan on Aug 4, 2005 4:16 PM PDT in Angels News

First, it was stupid of Scioscia to have batted FInley as high in the order as he did, jsut as it was stupid to have Vlad and G.A. as low as they were.

But when Jose Molina pinch hit for our $7 million outdfielder Steve Finley with 2 outs in a close game with the bases loaded - I would say that every single person Steve Finley knows now considers him a gutless choker.

But let's be positive: We are still in first place, Shields and Frankie are rested and ready now, Tampa Bay is coming in for the weekend and it appears Ervin Santana's rowdy family was not ejected from his home stadium this afternoon, but I have not scoured the Anaheim police blotter to confirm that final item.

R/L?

I have a feeling...

that if there are more dumbass moves like those in the next week, the A's are going to come up and kick us in the ass. The Halos can't afford to make mistakes now. Who woulda thunk the A's would ever be this close?

out of their minds

The A's are out of their minds right now, and the Angels are still in first place. After the A's come down to earth, I think the Angels will be 5 or 6 games ahead.

From the Mayor of Shit-Town

I was at the game today. My observations are that Finley has no pride. Every time that clown came up our peeps were on base and what did he do..? ground out, strike out, double play, and then get pinch hit for. I am still pissed at that clown. He is the reason we lost game. It is as simple as that.

Wayne's favorite player GA, whom i refer to as Cadillac is officially on the Shit List. On O Cab's error (which i disagree with the scoring) GA is was jogging/escalading to the ball. OCab lost it in the sun and probably ran about twenty yards farther-towards our left fielder-then Senor Escalade did. Once it richocheted off of OCab did we see Cadillac get moving. By that time two runs have scored and the batter was going for a triple... yes a triple because GA half-ass, end of the inning jog to the pop up. Adding the Cherry to sundae, Cadillac, GA, Escalade three hopped a ball to third base with said better being called safe and getting a triple.

I have officially lost my mind.
