someone do pxp please....mlb gamecast has been stuck for a while on Vladdy's at bat...he's been on a 3-2 count for ever now!
If I hear the word "red sox"...POW!!! RIGHT IN THE KISSER!!!
Results
Vladdy hits a double to right, missed going out by a couple feet. GMJ scores.
GA hits a single to CF. Vladdy holds up at 3rd, then goes when the CF throws to the cutoff man. Vlad Scores.
A better pregame question
Might have been "How many total pitches will the Rangers throw tonight?" Looks like this could be a LONG game.
Anderson singles to center
Vlad gets stopped by Ebel at 3rd, but Vlad scores when Hamilton just threw in to the SS..
Torii K's to end the inning, Angels up 5-3..

to a game during the Angels' last homestand in 1998 against the Rangers, this one:

It was basically a must win for us to take the division, and I was 12. The Angels threw up a turd. I think I cried on the way home.
F*** the Rangers.

Crap
I already see the ESPN over-glorification if they went...the self-congratulatory pats on the back, as they write essays about how great the Tigers are, and how this is the turning point in the year. God forbid they win three in a row after today, so we can hear about it non-stop for the rest of the season.
by Caseys Kiss of Death on Apr 14, 2008 7:08 PM PDT up reply actions
Could be worse
Imagine a season in which the AL East finish is
1. Not the Yanksox
2. Not the Yanksox
3. Not the Yanksox
4. Yankees/Red Sox
5. Red Sox/ Yankees
It wouldn't matter if the Orioles/Blue Jays/Rays won the World Series, as far as ESPN would be concerned, the Fall Classic would, by definition, be a bust.

I'd love to see them finish under .500
I've been saying they're overrated from the start.
by Caseys Kiss of Death on Apr 14, 2008 7:10 PM PDT up reply actions
Not gonna get ahead of myself here
but his 103rd pitch of the game, in the 7th inning, was 95MPH, this is his second good road start of the year in two attempts, and he's close to going 2-0 with a sub-3.50ERA.
We know this guy has Cy Young potential...if he somehow comes into form this year...goddamn. Our rotation would be loaded.

Maybe Napoli should shave more often.
anyone else love the offense this yr
fun to watch.
Mickey Hatcher; why art thou the shittiest hitting coach ever eth?
Here's a question for any rules lawyers out there
Once in a while you'll see a player making an obvious attempt at a sac bunt reach on the attempt, as Aybar just did. I sometimes see this scored as a sac bunt with the batter reaching instead of an infield single. Can anybody explain why this is?
Witty .sig goes here.
So far as I know
It's always supposed to be a single if they reach base on it, and there was no error or out at another base recorded.
But I guess it must just be a scoring decision.
