PrintBlame of the Game: I am not even thinking straight enough to figure this one out...
NOMINATE SOMEONE IN THIS THREAD...
Blame of the game goes to...
Blame of the Game: Torii Hunter
With a leadoff double, Garret Anderson could have been moved over by any number of outcomes of your at-bat, Torii, but you popped to 2B. Garret never scored. Also, even though he was thrown out at the plate, you did allow that catchable Orlando Cabrera double over your head, looks like it was an off-nite in Chi-town, get some Newport rest and we will see you at the stadium Monday night!

gotta learn to hit the sac flies if you wanna play in the bigs
Northeastern University Huskies: Mediocre hockey, guaranteed.
hunter wins the negative WPA battle
so its gotta be him

Why can’t we hit the fucking ball lately?
Write to the Angels front office. Get Tim Salmon's number 15 retired!
cant hit the ball
because minor leaguers usually have trouble when facing big league pitching

Nothing funny about it
When Scioscia pencils in a 7-8-9 of Mathis-Wood-Rodriguez like he did yesterday, that’s living dangerously. As it was, Wood-Rivera-Rodriguez was bad enough. You can only expect so many “gimme” wins.
Witty .sig goes here.
Who the hell cares about blaming one player
The Angels had 3 base runners
thats beyond pathetic
Get rid of Quinlan
Thats because we don't hit anymore
We have become a team of hackers that will swing at any garbage they throw at us
Write to the Angels front office. Get Tim Salmon's number 15 retired!
Yeah tell that to Danks
100 in 5 innings. That sucks though right?
Seattle I would like to thank you for sucking. It allows me to get back to my roots: Hating Fremont.
BOTG: Lackey
Take one for the team – you pitched great, but gave up two home runs [one the obvious game-winner].
thats nonsense

+1
No one completely crapped the bed from what I can see.
No one with more than 1 LOB.
Can’t blame Lackey, only 3 runs in a CG, only walked one.
Sorry, but it has to be Nipples. Plus maybe you can fault him for a little bad pitch calling or something.
I still like Mike.
Wood and S. Rodriguez! Man, Wood..Brown…and Rodriguez can’t hit worth a lick up here in the majors! It’s crazy frustrating!!!
TBH = BOTG
The Black Hole … at the bottom of the order…only problem is, the whole lineup is currently a BH!
This is bad Vlad and his band of wimps!
I have to vote for Hunter
He isn’t playing at the level we need him to play at
Write to the Angels front office. Get Tim Salmon's number 15 retired!
turn the page
it’s one game. Tomorrow’s a bigger game. We lost this one, Quentin went yard, we’re banged up, live and learn from it. We win tomorrow.
Channelling the Soth.
Don't call me Desmond
But Judy Garland is tossing tomorrow
So how are we possibly going to win?
Okay, he wins occasionally, but…
I’m not going in person tomorrow because every game I’ve gone to this season has accidentally been a Garland game, and each one has been a disheartening loss. I can’t take another Garland debacle. This isn’t necessarily his fault but just my luck. But I’ve had several Sopporros and a consiliatory glass of Chartreuse, so my thoughts are bit muddled… I’ll wait until Bubblegum or Simi is throwing, go to their game, and just be hung over for work the next day.
Seriously, I feel bad for Big John. That was some fine stuff right up until that one fatefull walk-off. I can’t possibly nominate him.
I just don’t know what to think about the fact that GMJ is the only reason we scored today… double-you-tee-eff-question-mark
Can I blame Wood? I just have no faith in the boy. I don’t know. Can I blame the Sox or the Townies that follow them?
Halos Forever.

I've been of the opposing persuasion.
I’m going to the game tomorrow (look out RF pavilion), and every game I’ve been to this season has been a striking Garland win where he pitches not only dominantly but with conviction. Insofar, he has been lights out as I’ve seen.

blame of the game is clearly...
Carlos Quentin
Still, I wish I was here
by adirondackangelfan on May 25, 2008 9:15 PM PDT reply actions
If GA wasn't so lazy...
Lackey wouldn’t have given up those homers, and we would’ve won.
so clearly, GA = BOTG
Let Wood play!!!
gmj
he shouldn’t have hit that bomb. he should have just singled so GA could have walked to load the bases and t-hunts would have been all fired up for his at bat, leading to a grand slam. angels win 4-3.
C: Bengie Molina, 1B: Wally Joyner, 2B: Bob Grich, SS: Jim Fregosi, 3B: Troy Glaus, RF: Tim Salmon, CF: Darin Erstad, LF: Brian Downing, SP: Nolan Ryan, RP: Troy Percival
BotG: Wood.
He doesn’t belong in the majors. His bat in the order is less potent than Q’s or Maicer’s, and that is really saying sometihng.
by shiftyeyedgoat on May 25, 2008 10:12 PM PDT reply actions
wow
as pointed out in yesterday’s game, you are getting upset over a guy with less than 100 career ABs in the majors. have some freakin patience.
Let Wood play!!!
by howiestheman on May 25, 2008 10:16 PM PDT up reply actions
and stil a young player
by any stretch – he is the youngest player on the Salt Lake Bees for cryin-in-yer-beeyah
by Rev Halofan on May 25, 2008 10:20 PM PDT up reply actions
if youre old enough to be in the majors, youre old enough to be blamed
yes, we understand hes young and a raw product but no, i will not use that as an excuse. him failing with guys on base doesnt make me say “well shucks hes only 23”.
justin upton is 20 years old. nuff said.

sorry to break this to you
but if you think that every young player in the bigs is going to be Justin Upton, then you’re constantly going to be pissed off.
some young players take some time to get going. once again, he has less than 100 effing ABs.
give it some time. he’s shown improvement over the last few games… he’s starting to recognize pitches better, and he’s sitting back a little bit more.
things could be changing very soon…
Let Wood play!!!
by howiestheman on May 25, 2008 10:38 PM PDT up reply actions
Well with this lineup there is not room for any on the job training.
Seattle I would like to thank you for sucking. It allows me to get back to my roots: Hating Fremont.
I COULD NOT AGREE MORE ihearhowie2.0
B Wood supposedly for the last two years or so, has been the next great Halo player in waiting, it is now time too put up or shut up, anyone remember Todd Greene?
YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARKSIDE.....
it is NOT time for him to put up
He is only here because of injuries. He needs 1.5 more seasons before it is all on the line.
How can you be a “halo for life” when you cannot even give a 23-year-old prospect standard development time?
by Rev Halofan on May 26, 2008 2:27 AM PDT up reply actions 1 recs
agreed Rev
i expect to see him get a full season next year, but he’s not in an danger until 2010
Let Wood play!!!
by howiestheman on May 26, 2008 11:01 AM PDT up reply actions
It doesn't matter how many ABs he has so far
He simply doesn’t belong in the Bigs yet.
That says nothing over whether he’ll ever break out, just that his bat is so pitifully impotent that it merits a plane ride back to SLC.
by shiftyeyedgoat on May 26, 2008 3:18 PM PDT up reply actions
No offense to B Wood
I didn’t mean to imply that Brandon is a bust, in my earlier posting, just that as of right now his struggles at the plate can’t be good for his confidence, and if he is only there for D, and D alone he is half a player right now. Sooner or later the lack of offense, both from Wood and Rodriguez is gonna hurt us.
YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARKSIDE.....
Sean Rodriguez and Brandon Wood
Make every pitcher they face look like the reincarnation of Satchel Paige’s and Cy Young’s hybrid love child !!!
YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARKSIDE.....
BOTG = Hamstring/Toronto turf gods
We just can’t expect to win every game with so many players who don’t have the experience to hit in the majors. Until we get Figgy, Howie, and Aybar back, or unless Vlad the Impaler returns in full force, we are going to be running on great pitching and fumes.
K-brothers rule! (Kendrick & Kotch)
