I love baseball
Shelled up in an Internet cafe in Santiago, Chile waiting patiently for the first pitch.
A pipeline of talent, welcome to Anaheim.
Let's see if Torii gets booed as bad as
George Bush did at the Nationals game.
Scioscia, "Roll the hole!"
Bedard
Gave up a homer and his pitch count is way up. One thing SEA fan will have to come to grips with is Bedard does not go deep into games all that much
Sea-at-ha-ha-ha that's funny.
Go away until you have the lead....
oh, you HAVE the lead...THAT's why you are here.

Don't look now...man on first, M. Young up...
by Downing Rules on Mar 31, 2008 5:57 PM PDT up reply actions
Young is actually the man on first --
here comes Josh Hamilton to face an excellent loogy with 2 outs. I' ain't worried.
And I'm aware that the irony will be delicious if the rangers score this inning -- a pound of crow is waiting.
Crow tastes great, if you ask me...
;) Hamilton blows, by the way. Your Irishman should be able to get him.

does he regularly hit the 90's?

NICE CATCH TORII
What will weaver's f.i.p. be this season, as if it matters beyond the hair-splitting stat ash heap...
What is wrong with Weaver's velocity?
Still in the high 80s...thought it was because of the tendonitis last year.

Classy
I wonder just how rare it is for fans to cheer for former players when they come back. Then again, most of the guys who have done that in the last few years were 2002 vets, and the rules may be different for ring-winners.
~Till the Halo burns out...
Livan: 9 pitch 1st.
Those soft-tossers often really screw up the Angels.

Oh, well...
that's 6 pitches more than I expected!

Nap...
It was a borderline pitch, granted, but you gotta take a cut there.
~Till the Halo burns out...
Regardless of the outcome
Respect to figgs for keeping the bat on his shoulder after 3-0. Make Livan use up another 3 pitches minimum.
And get the double to boot. Nice.
~Till the Halo burns out...
First time round is just to get a proper look...
...and realise, he's throwing the same rubbish as last year.
Second time through the order will be an improvement.
I see red people
GMJ should be tagging one of these pitches off the wall in right.
Ain't no stoppin' us now. We got the groove!
Well
At least they started making him pitch. 5 pitches per batter after Naps.
~Till the Halo burns out...
Jeez
Called it right on the pitchout and Naps still couldn't throw him out.
~Till the Halo burns out...
that was quite the staredown between
Nap and Gomez.

On the other hand.
Our contact was a lot more solid that inning. GA went straight-away center, Vladdy singled, Hunter lined out. We're going to explode on him before too long.

Everyone's wonderful
self-fulfillment in blaming Garret is so irritating. There was no way he could make that catch without risking a collision of some sort. It wasn't a speed issue. Some balls just find their way in. That was one of them. Garret Anderson reads the ball off the bat better than almost anyone that anyone came name in this thread. He wasn't slow. It just fell.

It must suck
That the only F-ing reason anyone gives a shit about your team is because the BEST team in your division lost 2 aces and 2 bullpen arms during Spring Training. If that never happened, your piss ant little squad wouldn't be relevant. The Angels would boat race your asses. Pathetic.
As it stands John is ahead of schedule and upon his return The Angels will put that sad pathetic existence of a franchise into the rearview in June at the latest.

GIDPing with the bases juiced and no outs = lame, lame, lame. Still, 1/162.

My take
Pitching: Okay, well enough to win
Hitting: Heart of the order went 1-12, not cool
Defense: GARBAGE
Oh well just 1 of 162. We could still go 161-1. Go Halos!
