Angels WIN

Panther of the Game:
Orlando Cabrera

Many Angels were pantheresque tonight against a Minneosta team that pretty much handed us the game after squeaking a few runs by an otherwise dominant John Lackey.

Figgy was 2 for 6 (his liner off of Luis Castillo's glove, initially ruled a hit, was revised to an error after the game was over) with a run scored and a ribby, Lackey, Frankie and Shields were dominant, and even JoMo was 2 for 3 with a walk.

But Orlando Cabrera walked in the 1st inning and scored, doubled to lead off the 5th and scored, doubled with one out in the 7th and singled home the winning run in the 11th.

One of Cabfare's two outs was a long flyout that allowed Jose Molina to move from 2nd to 3rd in the 2nd inning. The Angels taxi had plenty of CABFARE to make it home when it mattered most, all in time to watch a super-sized fireworks show under the light of the Halo.

Cabfare

Would we have 10 wins without him this year? Another big night when we needed him most.

Great victory. I think we needed this one, can't drop two in a row after that 4 game winning streak. And an extra inning win always pumps you up.

This Was

one of our more impressive wins this season, no, they didn't put up a jillion runs, no, they didn't do everything perfectly, but, they DID score with 2-outs, they DID stay in the game when they were down, they DID win in extras, for the 1st time all season as the Rev pointed out. That's what makes this a KEY victory.

what a great win

and I'm very happy :-) Makes me 1-0 on the season, hopefully I can continue the streak even w/ Jeff Weaver pitching tomorrow... GA's ball was very much fair, i'm glad he managed to knock in a run with the single right after the blown call. Frankie was awesome, Shields was great. Nice extended fireworks show also.

Still having too many LOB, but hey...

Light up the Halo baby!

Dancin' an jumpin' an hootin' an hollerin'

Great game. Old timey Angels baseball... winning baseball. Would have been nice to add a Vlad bomb into the mix though.

Not a season ticket holder but I've been to both the Adam Kennedy Bot.9th walk off double victory and now the Cabrera bot.11th walk off victory. Those were 2 of 3 wins I've attended this year. Both times were the only times I brought my rally monkey(my ex girlfriend). I guess I need to bring her to more games.

I've also been to every Jeff Weaver start at home... Including tonight. Hopefully he will be inspired by his brother. He can't go out there and let his lil bro out pitch him.
