Nationally Televised GAME THREAD

Los Angeles Angels @ Detroit Tigers


They want us all on our best behavior for the national audience and Ramon Ortiz is still off the team so that helps...

RANDOM SONG LYRICS

Help me build a mansion from my little pile of clay. Hey, hey, hey. 
Well she knows what I'm about, 
She can take what I dish out, and that's not easy

Pub's shut, it's 1.15 am...

I hate Joe Morgan.

“And then the California Angels, or should I say the Los Angeles Angels.”

It’s NOT FUNNY.

Willits for ROY! Oh, wait... Um, Kendrick for batting title? Yeah!

Nuts.

Vlad had his pitch to crush, and just missed it a tiny bit.

verlander throwing a lot of balls

lame inning

Steal 2nd or die trying

Hmm

looked a little inside…but he should have squared up that first strike and driven it.

by Caseys Kiss of Death on Apr 27, 2008 5:16 PM PDT   0 recs

Nah that one was legit.

Nasty pitch too. But yeah, the first strike was crushable.

Do we need a game thread

...And a secondary “ESPN is awful” game thread?

Nah.

We’ll just say you only get one comment about them.

Nice curve Weaver.

Nice first for Weaver!

Go California Angels!

Good lord

Aybar has a hand-cannon.

When he released it

I thought it was 6 feet above Kotchman’s head.

At least it wasn’t a DP.

Too close on the pickoff.

Nuts.

Kotch is the only one with really solid contact off Verlander so far.

~Till the Halo burns out...

by Zu Long on Apr 27, 2008 5:31 PM PDT   0 recs

Yeah. I was very disappointed in the M's today.

It’s one of the dangers of leaving your starter in too long though.

by Zu Long on Apr 27, 2008 5:33 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

He's all they have for hope.

okay let me get this straight

the TAMPA BAY Rays don’t play in Tampa Bay (which is not a city at all), nor in the city of Tampa, but in Saint Petersburg but nobody gargles their team name, uh, okay…

by Rev Halofan on Apr 27, 2008 5:34 PM PDT   0 recs

Unfair

the Tampa Bay Rays have been named for Tampa Bay from day one…that was their team name the first time they ever played. Tampa Bay.

It’s not like the Angels were ever “Los Angeles” at any point in their team history. Not once ever. Not even for a day. Especially not on the first day they were a franchise. Especially not then.

Sarcasm

His post was positively dripping with it

by foxpaw on Apr 27, 2008 5:45 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I THINK

that’s called sarcasm.

Witty .sig goes here.

by scareduck on Apr 27, 2008 5:45 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

He was being ironic. ;-)

Also, no one cares too much about the Rays.

I say that as someone who appreciates the IMMENSE amount of talent they have. I made a point to buy tickets for their series in Anaheim.

The fact is that the national media pays less attention to them than they do even to us.

Is it me

or have the umps in this series sucked an epic amount of wang

I brought sexy back, but they only gave me store credit....

by PhiSlamma on Apr 27, 2008 5:37 PM PDT   0 recs

That he isn't getting calls?

Cause as they just showed, he’s throwing good pitches.

~Till the Halo burns out...

by Zu Long on Apr 27, 2008 5:38 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

on gameday

it clearly shows pitches very much in the strike zone being called balls

I brought sexy back, but they only gave me store credit....

by PhiSlamma on Apr 27, 2008 5:39 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Like I said.

Inconsistent.

~Till the Halo burns out...

by Zu Long on Apr 27, 2008 5:39 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Yeah, inconsistent is the right word

should have used it before. But I think its inconsistent with a tight-leaning. Strikes are going back and forth between being called a ball or a strike, but no balls are being called strikes at some point.

by Caseys Kiss of Death on Apr 27, 2008 5:41 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I would agree.

But it wasn’t very tight on the first strike to Izturis. That ball is an inch or two off the plate on gameday. And to be fair to Granderson, the called strike three wasn’t really inside a tight zone either.

Weaver is a command pitcher

When he gets squeezed, its not gonna be pretty…

um, and bunt singles are the way to start this game

power pitchers, you want men on base to get them into the slide step

Nice patience Figgy.

by Zu Long on Apr 27, 2008 5:49 PM PDT   0 recs

Figgy

The only bad thing Figgy has done this year is get on base so much that bums like HGH get so many RBI opportunities that their raw stats look decent despite them playing horribly and then morons like Joe Morgan can say complementary things about them.
