Thursday Game Thread
1:05 PM - Giants @ Angels - Jonathan Sanchez V. Nick ADENHART
No Barroid in tow. King Ade-Rock makes a bid to be a member of the major league rotation. He lines up with the #5 slot and home opener. Him or Holy Moseley.
Pregame-Gasm Guesses
1. Yes or No: Will the Angels score First?
2. Which Angel will be the first to reach 1st Base?
3. Yes or No: will any Angel have at least 5 At-Bats in the game?

Here's the Baseball Crank's
breakdown of the four teams in the American League West . . .
The Angels are not a superpower like the Yankees and Red Sox of recent years, but they are a team with an embarrassment of riches in terms of depth, and they stand astride the AL West in a forbidding pose. An awful lot needs to go right for the Mariners, their only real competition, to dethrone the Angels . . . .

Yes, HGH Jr, No

YES AYBAR NO
GO TITANS
Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
whatever
probably wasn't the best idea on Speier's part, and i would've been upset too.
but it's really not a huge deal.

wow
...and i thought I had trouble coming up with news about the team...
by Rev Halofan on Mar 20, 2008 12:32 PM PDT up reply actions
Unless I were in the perfect mood, I'd be upset too.
Anyway, I'm sure Speier didn't mean any harm by it. He was just being a pest.
uh, wrong thread?

Pitching probables today
After Adenhart is Jason Bulger, Rich Thompson and Darren O’Day.
Their performance today could be an indicator of who will be joining the bullpen staff.

GMJ stays hot
16-36 and 5 for 5 over the past 2 days. Scores from 1st on a Double by Impaler.
1-0 Good Guys.
We'll be fine.
"King Ad Rock"
Great name for Adenhart. So who are Mike D and MCA?

For the time being, GAMEDAY is only
one batter behind.

Who is this Sanchez fellow on los gigantes?
He has 5K's through 3 innings. Adenhart has 3 through 3.

Pitching prospect
Big arm good in the minors, not so good in the Majors to date as a starter/reliever.
Sea-at-ha-ha-ha that's funny.

If I hear the word "red sox"...POW!!! RIGHT IN THE KISSER!!!
Bottom of 3
GA line out to 2B
Howie fly out to RF
they're not fully extended...
they're a little limp.
*awkward pause*

Evans and Hunter both fail to reach base
but I can't tell you how, I was distracted. 2 outs.
how many non-regulars are in the lineup today????
If I hear the word "red sox"...POW!!! RIGHT IN THE KISSER!!!
Looks like only Kotch has the day off.
Q started at 1B

4 years ago.
let's let it go now

Adenhart 6IP, 0 runs, 3 hits, 6Ks, 2 BB
Looks ready to me.
i second that
mostly because i want to see his debut on April 4th
by howiestheman on Mar 20, 2008 2:40 PM PDT up reply actions
thats been the talk.
the 5th starter is going to go on the home opener
by howiestheman on Mar 20, 2008 2:41 PM PDT up reply actions
Sorry WTY, opening day in Minnesota
Black Magic will get start at home opener
Santana is the number 4 starter
i believe Mike's said something to that effect.
i'm pretty sure the 5 starter is getting the home opener
by howiestheman on Mar 20, 2008 2:49 PM PDT up reply actions
Probably Moseley, I would venture to guess...
but could be Adenhart, if Sciosc chooses to keep DMose in the 'pen.

he might not
just to make a point.
he still thinks that Black Magic is the greatest pitcher in our rotation, and that his home/road spilts are a fluke :/
by howiestheman on Mar 20, 2008 2:56 PM PDT up reply actions
Observant HOWIESTHEMAN.
Outside the box..........Consider MAGIC SANTANA as the opening day starter in Minnesota!
i would guess Moseley as well
but i can hope.

I believed a few days ago...
that Aybar has sewn up the starting job.
Shopping for a new signature, but ran out of money...
im glad he didnt pull Winter Ball part 2
Izturis is a better utility guy anyway.
we'll see how Aybar does in a full season

Is Nicky pitching the 7th?
Gameday has pooped out.
Shopping for a new signature, but ran out of money...
No, Steve Marek.
The Angels basically emptied the bench in the top of the 7th.
2 errors in the inning. 1 unearned run scored.
6 - 1 heading to bot of 7th.
Don't tell me that after all the positive strokes we posted for Aybar...
now he commits an error?

hopefully Pavkovich hits an HR to make up for his.

Pavkovich great play to get Velez
Sounds like a bad bouce, self preservation but he made the play.
Nice Acuda-esque use of the apostrophe!

I think we won't be talking about pop anymore. Our youngsters are maturing and there's no more pressure on just Vlad to go yard anymore.

we'll see
it is still spring.
i hope you're right, though

hahahaha
Matthews has a bruised butt.
"Matthews had what was described as a "bruised left gluteus" after making contact with the hard dirt at home plate with a swipe of the plate while he was scoring from first on Guerrero's double into the left-field corner in the first inning."
