PrintPanther of the Game: Ervin Santana
Might be the only time you ever see the player of the game leave 8 men on base.
Might be the only time you can laugh about 4 Angel errors in a game. Might be the only game you ever see Casey Kotchman commit 2 errors. Ditto for Garret Anderson safely reaching base 5 times.

Hudler on the radio post game show
talking about the Angels, “it was a well played game, except for the 4 errors.” Got to love him.
Angels in 08!
21 runs over the past 4 games
With about a thousand men left on base. Ever since I challenged scareduck to bet whether they’d average more than 5 a game from here on out!
I think...
we’ve found the secret to unleashing the powah!!
Chart it up! Game on!

All that negativity builds up tons of bad karma.
Betting against obsessively negative people is betting on the side of Universal WILL. ;-)

i think Vladdy deserves it..........
but thats just me….....hitting 285 now….....its nice to have him back.
i root for teams that lack offense! go halos and bills!

Santana was good, but ...
Vladdy started the offense off right.
Panther is Vlad
"At some point, a veteran player will more often than not find his stroke. You just have to show them a little bit of patience."
Ditto on Panther for Voodoo
Vladdy is just getting back to where he needs to be. He needs his mates (HK, Figgy) around him setting the table.
El Scorcho July for Vlad?
Don't call me Desmond
In another game
Vlad would be panther no question. But Santana deserves this one. It’s hard to lose when your pitcher K’s nine guys and only allows 2 hits.

Esp when (as the Soth says)
this team is built on Pitching and Defense

Look at Voodoo's line
It’s sick
Thank God we still have him instead of that fat-ass playing 1B for the Tigers

Yup.
We worry about Kotch’s 2 errors. Cabrera has FIVE, and he spent the first 14 games at third (where he also racked up five errors, for a total of 10 on the year). That’s not even taking into account his god awful ZR.

Black Magic Meneo
Ervin jsut 2-Hit the best offensive team in baseball in THEIR OWN HITTER’S PARK. That is EL PANTERO if ever there was a big cat!
El Pantero
I sense a new HH nickname to be broken out at special occasions, kind of like a nice champagne or a 20-year-old Highland Park whuskey.

An honorable mention Panther goes to The Soth
For not starting GMJ
In the words of AC/DC: We roll tonight... to the guitar bite... and for those about to rock... I salute you.
Panther!

El Meneo is PANTHER!!!!!!
Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Was it Hunter and Figgins for the two correct pregame answers?
"At some point, a veteran player will more often than not find his stroke. You just have to show them a little bit of patience."
Santana now 6-1 with a 3.10 ERA on the road.
I won’t hold my breath waiting for those of you who gave up on him, or who thought his crazy home-road splits were anything more than a temporary statistical fluke, to revise and extend your remarks at this time.
We can all go back and read our predictions and analysis of players or team issues
from a year ago and find them in need of revision on the grandest scale. Most everything we speculate about and claim to be true today will be read as mostly foolish in the not so distant future.
I just went back and read the johnsamo chronicles this past week and the most entertaining thing about this was the surrounding comments by the other knowledgeable and sane fans. It was amazing how much of what they predicted and deduced about players and the team’s performance turned out to be the farthest thing from what transpired six months to a year later. This just proves how unpredictable baseball is, and its players are, no matter how well we think we have it figured out.
The internet destabilizes every hierarchy it contacts.
Panther of the game goes to Charlie Manuel's middle name.
Fuqua.
Ps…i’m drunk. Children of Men is on. I think i’ll watch it for the umpteenth time.
Whatever dude.

Fantastic film
As an editor, I applaud the decision not to cut sometimes. Probably one of the best films of 2006 that not many people have seen.
by ReggieBullits on Jun 20, 2008 8:56 PM PDT up reply actions
EASILY the best film of that year. The long tracking shots seriously immerse you into the action. Cuaron and his crew really pulled off some amazing stuff. Besides the "car scene", the end is basically 3 or 4 long takes. Fricking brilliant.
Plus, it’s only about 90 minutes, so it’s one that I can seriously watch over and over again.
Easily top 5 movies of this decade.
Whatever dude.

The battle scene in town is the tits
Perfectly choreographed. It’s absolutely perfect. I get chills thinking about it.
by ReggieBullits on Jun 20, 2008 11:25 PM PDT up reply actions
I liked the film (saw it in theaters)
But I didnt like the end, Not cuz the dude kicked the bucket but because you never know if the Chick made it onto the ship with her baby. It left me thinking that her little boat sank before the big ship got to her.
Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hahaha. Dude, you sound EXACTLY like my parents. If they dont know the exact way a movie ends, they don't like it(or if they do, they just sit there complaining about no definite ending).
I’m pretty sure she got on that boat…even if it was going to sink, the Human Project boat was only maybe 200 yards away. She made it.
Whatever dude.
by Mayheminthehood on Jun 20, 2008 9:52 PM PDT up reply actions
LOL I figured she got on the boat but I wanted to see it with my own eyes....Like your parents! : )
But I did think it was a really good movie.
Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Was at the game tonight
And have to say Santana was the Panther of the Game. He was dealing tonight. Especially in the middle of the game when he Struck out the side by striking out Howard, Burrell and Jenkins.
Also, I saw something I probably wouldn’t have believed unless I saw it with my own eyes. I saw GA bust his ass down the line on his last AB. Which was in contrast to the way he coasted to home and almost got thrown out at the plate

Scott I dont know if Im right but I think Rev ment total bases....
Like Single = 1 base, Double = 2 bases ect.
He wrote total bases reached safley so I think that would be interprited as if a player tried to stretch it into a double and got out at second it would only count as a single (1 Base).
Dont know if Im write but thats the way I viewed the question as well as other fellow HHers
Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its late.....last sentance should say right not write.
If your wondering what Im doin up at 4am, I just finished watching American Beauty for the first time on HBO. It kicked ass!!!!
Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I believe that's what i did
Basically I saw what’s the furthest base the player got to at the end of the inning. And that’d be the number ot bases they reached safely
Chart it up! Game on!

Hey Scott
Not that it will change the scoring, but GMJ had 1 PA. You had him down for 0 PA and 1 TB. Since he walked, he ended up with 0 AB but did have the 1 PA.
Just in case Rev does a PGG that involves PA again.
Pain heals, Chicks dig scars, Glory lasts Forever!
i was there
santana was amazing
and the errors didnt matter!
and vlady with the 1st inning homer and howie trying to stretch a single into a double and being called safe! AWESOME!
Hey Kingfish
Where were you sitting, I was at the game also. I was sitting in the Hall of Fame Club level in Section 221 1st row, right behind home plate.
Wish I was able to go down for tonights and tomorrows game, but I am not going to be able to make it,
Pain heals, Chicks dig scars, Glory lasts Forever!
