Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Game 107/162
Game Thread - A's at Angels - Loaiza vs. Escobar - 12:35 p.m.
Daygame = Sunburn = Proof nature wants you to be an Angels fan...
Intentionally Altered Movie Dialogue:
Blade: Some infielders are always trying to ice-skate uphill.
Scioscia bought a Diamond-Lane approved Prius for days like this - make sure to send a cab for Esteban to show up to pitch and get to the park quickly to see all the hits! I wonder if Mike's Howard big-screen television is bigger than his semi-electric car...

Lessee here. Rubixs is back home from a day at Wrigely Field. My wife is off today. The rubber match for a shot to take over first place against our main rivals is here in my own backyard. So I schedule a pair of important meetings this afternoon. It takes a special kind of stupid to miss out on an obvious opportunity like that.
let's see a repeat of last night..
drunkatthe-bar 4/11
Let's see
McAfee nerds: 3/8
Hopefully, Kelvim has his command today so that tender elbow doesn't have to throw too many pitches.
Always bet on red
The Whitest Shoes in the World - 2/2
Let's hope Myspacecobar hasn't watched TOO much Playboy Channel. We need that arm fresh.

Loooo
ANGELS: 8 / 13
As: 3 / 7
Today's lineup
Figgins - CF
Kendrick - 1B
Cabrera - SS
Guerrero - DH
Anderson - LF
Rivera - RF
Kennedy - 2B
Quinlan - 3B
Molina - C
Some interesting stuff going on there. Kendrick hitting second, which is where he belongs, but Quinlan playing third? Against a righty? Is Izturis hurt?

Just out of curiosity...
In other words, I have to avoid the game on the radio when I go to lunch, avoid looking at this site (and many other sports sites), AND try not to look at the Big A's halo when I drive home on the 57. The last one is really hard to do.
Sir...
Dunno how you can miss the big halo on the way back home though. That has to be an interesting stretch down the 57... haha...
You're tellin me
Not so much
I often do this
But for day games I usually go ahead and listen to it. I figure I won't be able to avoid it.
Escobar
1-0 A's Damnit
Now that Kendrick's multi-hit game streak is over
1-2-3
Vlad's at it again
Still waiting for a plausible explanation
To go right-left-right
Bench Kennedy
Why the deference to a guy hitting BELOW .250 (ak) is beyond me....
not that I agree or disagree
.270 < .250
Scareduck
It's a kind of odd double play combination.

I'm done defending Figgy's at bats
Nice ending to that AB
And the answer will be, for the first time, "I'm not so sure."

This is Scioscia Logic at work...
The last time I hit there
P.S. - that post was totally tongue in cheek
lol..don't worry
Moved the first one up to 11am.
And, 'cause I am a King Geek, I probably have the best connection to the Internet on this thread: 100Mbps right out of our AT&T colo, which sits directly on top of a tier one provider!!!
gawd-like I tell my hubby, King of Java
Is your mind always in the gutter?
Gotta love Gamecast
Here's a hint
How do they ...
Is there a main feed for all the "Gamecasts" by the hometeam, like official scorers, or are they from the league, or some news.org?
When the Angels are at home it seem to me to be on the slow side.
It's all explained
i cant wait
by CaLiKrAzY on Aug 2, 2006 1:54 PM PDT reply actions
If Kendrick blows this opportunity
Or not.
Gamecast can't keep up with the game...
25 pounds already lost

Slag figgy off for his stuff at the plate
Nice play ...Bad play
gotta have a least one starter at a corner.
oh well no damage done
defense
by CaLiKrAzY on Aug 2, 2006 2:19 PM PDT reply actions
Wooooo!!!! Contact play!!!
you know
Loyalty to AK
Not bringing in Salmon to pinch hit against the lefty is UNFORGIVABLE.
I was wondering that one too
WOW
get your newspaper article yet?

let me ask this strategory question:
Good question
its about that time!
by CaLiKrAzY on Aug 2, 2006 2:45 PM PDT reply actions
was thinking that one too
A's
by CaLiKrAzY on Aug 2, 2006 2:57 PM PDT reply actions
yeah but...
it's a chicken or the egg
shhhhh not yet
I was hoping he'd go after Shields
Did Payton get pissed for getting hit?
by KPBruin on Aug 2, 2006 3:14 PM PDT up reply actions
what an ass
Gey Petten swung at that pitch
should have been tossed for the
He swung into the ball, not like Scot threw the ball at HIM.It was an inside pitch and he swung rather than step back. Tough crap, that's baseball. Take it like a man
Shields bouunces back
Payton hit in the wrist? Ouch. STICK THAT THING OUT THERE hokeyoakychoaky
Payton
o.O
unfortunately,
Last couple of outing
Could he be over his injury?
Just found
by Angels 86ed on Aug 2, 2006 3:29 PM PDT up reply actions
FUCK
didnt see escobars pitch count, but why not send him out to pitch the 8th, he had no problems in the 7th...
Shields and his walk killed us and cost us the game
Molina defense was shit today
That game sucked, tons of errors, Vlad is on Hiatus
Back to 1.5 games back
Wow
And thanks to Scioscia for employing the contact play yet again. Will he ever learn?
I'm soooo sad.......
Defense sucked, offense sucked
wow our offense is :0
by CaLiKrAzY on Aug 2, 2006 3:40 PM PDT reply actions
this is soooo bad
Well
Should I be deemed worthy...
I imagine scottnak is feeling the pressure too...
He is probably muttering to himself "shit...I gotta drop what I am doing and get this posted NOW before everybody starts whining!" The price he pays for being a success. : )
