L.A. Angels of Anaheim GAME 25/162 THREAD

Picpic_tiny by Rev Halofan on in News

SUNDAY GAME THREAD - Angels @ Bleached Laundry of Cicero - 11 a.m.
Kelvim ESCOBAR vs. Mark BUEHRLE
TV: KCOP 13 Free TeeVee - RADIO: 710 A.M. (ingles) - 830 A.M. (spanish)

Star-divide

Kelvim returns to the scene of the crime. No Eddings, No Josh Paul, perhaps no A.J. in a day-game after a night-game.

Ye Olde O.P.D. picks...
Cabrera - Escobar - 3

I'm actually getting enraged about the whole '05 ALCS Game 2 debacle all over again after writing that half-sentence alluding to it...

She'll let you walk the street beside her
But when she wants she'll pass you by
Everybody says she's lookin' good
And the lady knows it's understood

Oh My God
I started watching the game on MLB.com, but these White Sox announcers are so irritating I had to switch the feed to KSPN. They're such homers--I thought Rex and Phys were bad.

These are possibly the worst announcers in the league. Hands down.

Thanks mlb.tv for the lovely selection in home/away announcing.

not to object to Scioscia's ultimate wisdom...
but why the hell do we have untested strength in the rookie at 3rd matched with the questionable -- at best -- defense from Hillbilly?

by shiftyeyedgoat on Apr 29, 2007 12:06 PM PDT   0 recs

I was thinking the same thing...
I like seeing Wood in the lineup while he's up, even though it looks like he's not ready just like Kendrick looked the 1st time last year, but then have Hillenbrand at first?  Weird.

Quinlan however...
you are the one who usually has a blind spot for Robb Q, so i will defer to the defense - NO FURTHER QUESTIONS YOUR HONOR...

by shiftyeyedgoat on Apr 29, 2007 12:36 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I think
based on what you (screduck) have written over the years, that you have been unusually deferential to Robb Quinlan's below-averageness (relative to your scathing criticality of just about every nuance of any other player's game)... but I may have selective memory in this...

by Rev Halofan on Apr 29, 2007 12:44 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Brilliant Lineup
Shea as protection for Vlad... what was Mike scioscia thinking?

(or better yet... what was Bill Stoneman Thinking)

I am with the RIVERA IN HIS LEG CAST CROWD on this one...

by Rev Halofan on Apr 29, 2007 12:22 PM PDT   0 recs

Just curious
What's your proposed lineup?  Seriously.  I actually don't think this one's particularly awful; at least he finally took Anderson out of the lineup against a tough lefty, and Kotchman's having a tough time against lefties this year (hitting .071 against so far in limited action), so that decision's defensible, too.

Anderson's hurt
so he was out by default. maybe someone like wood or quinaln - with pop against lefties, but shea is struggling...

by Rev Halofan on Apr 29, 2007 1:48 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

hey everyone
havn't been here in a few days. Oh my God, why oh why is Shea fucking Hillenbrand batting behind Vlad?!!!!

Ask yourself
how much you really want Garret Anderson to face a lefty who has a no-hitter in the last two weeks.
