Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Game 84/162
Game Thread - Angels at Mariners - Colon vs. Moyer - 7:05 pm
So yeah, here is the deal, our weakest pitching link is the reigning Cy Young Award Winner.
Our pitcher's so fat, he digests your lineup.
Your pitcher's so old, he threw the Brylcreem ball before it was outlawed.

Bartolo: My name? Franz Kafka.
Police Officer: Hm. You think I am ignorant?
I hope we score Bartolo some runs before night falls.

M&M's (no Bart don't eat the M&M's, strike em out): 4/9
yikes such POSITIVE thoughts for today
if he were a chicken, he'd be a mcnugget by now 5/10

In any event, tonight's results will provide further evidence. Colon will probably last about 6 innings, and will give up runs in four of those.
Angels: 3/7
Mariners: 8/15
The FO measures success differently for Colon
He needs to be shut down, but that won't happen.
Could not agree more...with one exception
Halos 8 / 9
Sae Sluts 7 / 11

Picks
City with the losing Superbowl Team: 5/10
Note to Stoneman/Sciocia:
Can you please get Soriano or Lee?!?
and pull Kendrick back up already
I'm not sure you can stick a fork in Colon yet
(2) He's got his control, it's just a question of getting his velocity back up. I don't the Angels would be putting him out there every 5th day if they didn't think it was going to come back.
(3) Not having his plus fastball makes him extremely hittable because the batters don't have to worry about his best pitch, but the more his fastball's velocity comes up, he'll get closer and closer the Colon of 2005.
People have to remember, throwing high 90s, you've got to be strong, and his being out has taken that away, but not necassarily forever. The next month is crucial. He doesn't have to get back to 2005 Colon immediately, but if the number on the radar gun starts ticking back up, he's on his way and may be back to his old self in the late summer and the playoffs, and it's always handy to have a CY Young type pitcher around that time of year.

The key phrase
I have little doubt that this is what the Angels' braintrust thinks. However, when 100% of the evidence is to the contrary (indeed, his velocity appears to be decreasing with each outing), it's time to question your thoughts or thought process.
In his first start back, I was somewhat impressed because Colon was hitting 93 and 94 on the gun, not that far off from his usual. But by his last outing, according to the radio guys, he was only in the mid-80s, never getting above 90. Good high school players can hit an 85 m.p.h. fastball. So unless Bart becomes his opponent (i.e., some reasonable facsimile of Jamie Moyer), he's in deep doo-doo.
I just read a funny today
From The LA Times
(Only one of four England players made one Saturday, and he was born in Canada.)
I have to say
Does the LA Times have a cricket reporter?
Crickett reporter?!?!?!?!?

"You guys"?
I might just as well ask whether Team USA practised with 9 men....
C'mon
I've alluded to this before...
It's rather like asking you what you think about the US performance in the World Baseball Classic. Not much either way, I'd guess.
So no big whoop
I love the Angels more than WBC USA team, correct?
you're an arsenal fan?
You are all Arsenals!

Rooney - not the band
I'm watching Texas
Can we finally get a sweep?!
Halos: 5/11
M's: 4/10
Let's get Bartolo his first win of the year along with that first sweep of the year!
predictions
m's - 3, 8
Terry Evans
Terry Evans
15 HR at Palm Beach (60 games), 7 (in 21 games) at Springfield. But this is the number that the Angels liked the best: at AA, he walked only 3 times against 21 Ks (20/50 at single A).
He's also 26/28 stealing bases this year, combined.
He was kind of old to start the season in HiA.
We already have a Terry Evans in the system
jjackflash, sort this one out for me.

Jeff Weaver Traded To Cardinals
Evans is a 24 year-old outfielder currently hitting .307/.369/.640 in 75 ABs for the Cards' Double A affiliate. He struggled in High Class A last year, but mastered the level in two months this season. He's been described as the "out of nowhere prospect who mashed his way out of A ball" by Viva El Birdos.
Down on the Farm
He had a no-hitter going through 4 2/3.
Why still leadoff
i still
OK, I guess
But 89 is a lot different than 95.
His control seems good.
Not skinny and not as good as Moyer

Best since back
QQQQQQQQQQ
Q!
They just showed a similar view toward left center, and Quinlan hits it out. I think the Seattle director is secretly an Angels fan.

Almost as nice as the sweep
Four games is still a lot to make up, and they can't afford to go 1-3 or get swept in Oakland. But it's starting to look like they're a third baseman and a reliever away from being a pretty decent team again.
