The fact that nobody can locate worth a damn is distressing.

It's Iowa...
er, Anaheim

New Thread Worked
Bootcheck gets a fly out, it is 14 – 6 Fremont leading going in to the bottom of the 5th … Plenty of time.
yea
I have no confidence in the bottom half of the bullpen. I really think this year the Angels need to eventually trade for a quality established reliever once some teams drop out of contention.
Either that or they need one of Thompson, Arredondo, Bulger, ODay to step up and be a consistent reliever. My money would be on Thompson but unfortunately he’s in SL.
Also don’t Q, Brown and Wood fill the exact same roster needs? Can we send one down/dfa one to make room for another reliever.
Beh
I released the hold on the TV and let my roommate play some Mario Kart…
Looks like its a good decision…
Chart it up! Game on!

TWO STRIKE ZONES HERE
one for Duchscherer, one for everybody else. And Duch-Poochy has a higher, wider one by far.
Glad someone else noticed.
His outside corner against lefties especially is a mile wide.

Didn't have a choice but to swing at what should be a ball.

The bullpen
Now I can understand people saying at some point you have to let a pitcher take one for the team but Scioscia can’t even do that right.
He didn’t have Moseley take one for the team yet he let him pitch too long.
He didn’t have ODay take one for the team yet he pitched too long.
My point being is the bullpen is still going to be taxed after the game tonight, but he let pitchers pitch when it was obvious they weren’t going to get anyone out.
It's not like Mike can do much about guys not being able to get an out to save their lives.
Putting in Oliver/Speier/Shields/Franky at that point is counter productive. Again, better we find out they can’t hack it now.
*Visiting Angels fan* Never give up, never surrender!
yea I can understand that
It’s just it’s not really like he’s playing for tonight or for tomorrow, he’s stuck in the middle doing who knows what, at least now it’s so out of hand I know Boot will be sucking it up and taking one for the team
This is just sad. Maybe we should change up catchers.
I don’t know, maybe Napoli is doing something they’ve keyed on.
*Visiting Angels fan* Never give up, never surrender!
Well guys, feel like scoring 9 runs in one shot?
*Visiting Angels fan* Never give up, never surrender!
At least
the A’s fans will have some warm and fuzzy memories of this game when they are treading around .500 in July.
haha
i’m watching the A’s telecast on teevee right now. they’re taking a $ off plaza level seats for each hit the A’s record tonight. 17 hits = $7 seats on sunday (seats are usually $24).
i guess they’ll do anything to get people to show up.
"Here we go baby, 'bout f***'n' time!"
I can't imagine why.
Apparently they’ve got the best offense in the AL. _
*Visiting Angels fan* Never give up, never surrender!
can somebody please
go Tonya Harding on Q????
we seem to suck terribly every time this douchebag plays.
im sorry. very frustrated
Bring up Wood!!!
I wonder if we're capable of throwing up a few zeroes. It seems like the last time
was a lot longer ago than the first inning.
*Visiting Angels fan* Never give up, never surrender!
Yeah, I can take this once a week but twice is gonna get to me.
*Visiting Angels fan* Never give up, never surrender!
Oh well, in the end...
I know I’m sometimes quicker in my Infiniti G37 than my friend in his Porsche 911, just like the A’s are sometimes (a lot) better than the Angels. In the end though… His car is a lot better than mine. And so are the Angels.
See ? I can remain positive.
yea the A's still do not scare me at all
They have a lot of young pitchers that have yet to go through the league once.
The lefties they threw up against us, are more or less soft tossing lefties that I think are going to be even more prone to the once around the league stat line.
What to do with Garland....???

Good question.
He has been awesome…. Once. And pretty much a complete suck four other times.
I really don’t think the trade was worth it – he hasn’t really put up better numbers than Mosely as far as I know – at least not this year. And as far as being “an innings eater” – I’ve yet to see that is the case. I’m not convinced. He really should be our 5th starter.
The trade opened up a spot for Eybar & OCab is not doing that well in Chitown
Frankly, he had to have benefited from batting in front of Vlad…ie, career year. HGH has not figured that out yet! That and Vlad sucks thus far so why not pitch to Vlad.

I was watching on my phone/gameday
Is the Ump’s strikezone that horrible, or are we just messing up tremendously ?
Hey, what's that number on the scoreboard?
So unfamiliar…
*Visiting Angels fan* Never give up, never surrender!
i thought
HK47 was on an assignment tonight? but he wasn’t in the Quakes lineup, and wasn’t with the Bees. does this mean he’s not coming back tomorrow?
"Here we go baby, 'bout f***'n' time!"
Quakes were playing a doubleheader, I think, sure you
looked at the right lineup?
*Visiting Angels fan* Never give up, never surrender!
Well, nuts.
I have no clue then. Maybe they decided he didn’t need a rehab game?
*Visiting Angels fan* Never give up, never surrender!
haha, true to your name
mr. optimist. i like your style.
lets hope for the best.
"Here we go baby, 'bout f***'n' time!"
Looks like Scioscia is making Bootcheck stay out there
until he turns in to a good pitcher.
Scioscia, "Roll the hole!"
nah that was putting Wood in for Q
Even if Wood can’t take a step he has about 6 inches more range that Q.
Can someone remind me?
The Angels released Joel Peralta so that ___ could stay on the active roster?
I know it was some crappy player.
Bet you anything the Angels would love to have Joel back. I know I would after seeing a parade of ineffective relievers.
Not so sure about that
The two good catches he has made so far this season are more of a fluke than I’d like it to be :-)
I remember some VERY bad D from Vlad as well…
Vlad
really needs to step up his game, as do GA and GMJ
Was he slumping this bad last year, too ?
I mean, I know he wasn’t hitting HR’s for a long time – but he was still productive. He’s been absolutely terrible for quite some time now.
Imagine what our record would be if GA and Vlad were off to decent starts...?!
Then imagine what our record would be if said twosome were off to torrid starts…?!
Then reality sets in…and we are tied for first place even after this fiascoooohhh!
I can live with this! Buenos noches amigos…let it goooooo!

I love this post!
Great optimism in spite of our negative situation.
Arte, please buy the Angels back from the Red Sox...they've owned us long enough.

Well, I have to get up in 4 hours, I'm out.
Do better tomorrow, guys.
*Visiting Angels fan* Never give up, never surrender!
Two guys pitching the way Ervin and Saunders have
will go a long way.
*Visiting Angels fan* Never give up, never surrender!
and the torrid start of Figgins
who has since forgotten which end of the bat to hold…. :)

i was only semi listening
Did Hud just say the homeplate umpire is suffering from concussion like symptoms? If true that sure does explain a lot
I assume we were we paid a lot of money
To raise their batting averages ?
Which fund is the money going to ?
sigh....
i wish he would just freakin relax and start hitting
Bring up Wood!!!
by howiestheman on May 1, 2008 10:03 PM PDT up reply actions
He's gotta stop swinging at the balls outta the zone
and hitting the ones he is missing that are right down the middle!
Bad combination for Wood thus far!
Heavy sigh!

50 wins and 50 losses, it's what you do in the other 62...
this is one of the 50 losses. Shit happens!

when was the last time Vlad was batting 266
and GA is flirting with the mendoza line
I'd rather see Willitz in LF
I hope Oakland goes scoreless again in their next two games.
VooDoo style.
Scioscia, "Roll the hole!"
GA buys a hit
went 25 feet…nice swinging bunt!

Burn down the Halo!
tough loss, but in the whole scheme of things, I’m not worried, we have a great team, but man in hurts to lose to the raiders….
