L.A. Angels of Anaheim GAME 57/162 THREAD

4323_1105939621665_1622022962_290465_5300842_n_tiny by Rev Halofan on in Angels News

SATURDAY NITE Game Thread - Maryland Ornithology @ Angels - 6 PM
Steve TRACHSEL versus Joe SAUNDERS

Star-divide

You may also post your O.P.D. Guesses in this thread.

In a 2003 Sunday afternoon interleague game as a Met, Trachsel Rose pitched a 1-hitter against the Angels. David Eckstein had the lone hit. Good news is that nobody from that Angels squad is even with the club today (G.A. is in Rancho on rehab).

Random Song Lyrics
Whatever gets you through your life 'salright, 'salright
Do it wrong or do it right 'salright, 'salright
Don't need a watch to waste your time oh no, oh no

Please note that Joe Saunders will be sporting an Angels red "A" cap in this appearance.

Gotta go with Vlad today.  He's 18 for 35 with 3HR against Trachsel in his career.  That's a good thing.

B.O.P.D.
Now that you have Rat Points, why not expand your game to include "Raht" Points as well?  Create a Broadcast (B) category with possible questions like:

B: Above or Below 49.5...
Number of times Jose Mota will say, "Raht Neow."

or

B: Will Steve Physioc use the phrase "The Wizard of OC" in tonight's broadcast?

Value them at half points, as these are the intangibles that really make up a ballgame yet don't necessarily show up in a box score.  These are just a couple of examples, I would be happy to provide other questions to accommodate the many local home viewers within the HalosHeaven community.

Phizz is not a part of the boxscore.

Intangibles...
Hey Rev. Borasfan, I know we gotta sell some advertising here to make bread, but the Sponsors section on the left sidebar is getting outrageously long.  It's like a ton of mouse-wheel scrolls before you actually get to the Recent Diaries.  

Anything you can do about that?

That was a nice early inning.
I read other blogs and they say the Angels are just lucky.  I don't think it's luck. Except for last year's curse on the gloves.
They are not big bombers but they are good more often than bad. I like their chances this year.

by 1000 Oaks angels fan on Jun 2, 2007 7:26 PM PDT reply actions  

the really good news
Is that we have a full time catcher in Napoli now.  Late last season and early this season made it seem like his hot start was a fluke before scouting reports came out.  

His minor league numbers did suggest early last season was too good to be true.

It is clear now though that he is capable of making adjustments.  I like this Napoli.
