Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Hair Frosting Tips, Kangaroos, and another Halo victory

Win-3_medium
Jon Garland had 8 k's, Macier Izturis was the A's personal menace tonight, and Frankie had to make it a lil' to intense.

Panther:  What are your thoughts?  Mine, Macier and his wacky hair-do.

The disparity in win-oomph is too large to ignore over at fangraphs ...

Panther of the Game: Jon Garland

I know this is lame, but I vote for a Co-Panther.

We don’t win without Judy and his 8 K’s, but we also don’t win without the offensive machine that is Mighty Mice.

The Hunt for a Red October ...and please keep telling Clutch to chill!

hey..

what would you guys think about alternate black unis for the Angels?
Black jersey with red letters/white outline?

i think it would be cool

Let Wood play!!!

by howiestheman on Jun 7, 2008 8:57 PM PDT reply actions  

i disagree

The reason the A’s Black unis look so fucked up is that they are all wearing different colored teeshirts – they do not even look like a TEAM. Angel red touches on Black would be AWESOME!

no way

the A’s ones are disgusting

by ihearhowie2.0 on Jun 7, 2008 8:58 PM PDT up reply actions  

wow

clearly i know nothing.

i honestly dont think the A’s ones are that bad.

whatever.

Let Wood play!!!

Although..

I wouldn’t mind a black cap w/ a red A that they would wear on the road a’la the St. Louis Cardinals.

I'm gonna say Izzy, cause he deserves something for

jumpstarting the offense the last 2 games.

*Visiting Angels fan* Never give up, never surrender!

by TheOptimist on Jun 7, 2008 8:58 PM PDT reply actions  

Izzy

Garland had it before giving up the two run jack.

by Zu Long on Jun 7, 2008 8:59 PM PDT reply actions  

guess giving up 2 isnt impressive anymore

having a weak offense the past month makes 5 seem like a breakout game while giving up 2 runs is failure.

by ihearhowie2.0 on Jun 7, 2008 9:00 PM PDT up reply actions  

Not a failure.

But not as panther, comparatively, as a leadoff homer plus scoring three runs.

~Till the Halo burns out...

by Zu Long on Jun 7, 2008 9:06 PM PDT up reply actions  

Izzy

Considering the line-up is still relatively weak.

2. Iz it is: Boy King, Izzy, elephant tits.

Angels Defense. Angels Pitching. Get past that.

by vladtheimpaler on Jun 7, 2008 9:17 PM PDT reply actions  

Garland by a good margin IMO

1 hit though 6 innings

Yea he gave up on opposite field homer in the 7th but with a 5 run lead at least he wasn’t walking people.

by MH252525 on Jun 7, 2008 9:17 PM PDT reply actions  

Judging from the Athletics Nation game wraps, they got Soth Balled

two nights in a row and still don’t even know what hit them.

by 44FAN on Jun 7, 2008 9:28 PM PDT reply actions  

lol.......

the frustration is seeping through my firewall…..

I laugh at the A's troll that was gloating about

their last sweep and how they were going to sweep us (it was in our game thread during the Angels’ last game in Sweepattle). Talk about a loser. The Angels already WIN THIS SERIES! SUCK ON THAT, TROLL!

Gotta be Garland

It was awesome seeing all those A’s take strike 3 looking and then walking back to the dugout with their head hanging down low. A beautiful site way up close.

by LosAngel on Jun 7, 2008 11:11 PM PDT reply actions  

even with all the bitching and injuries and everything

the angels are tied for the best record in the MLB! who woulda thunk it during spring training! 39-24 and a .619 win pct. and thats with S-rod and his sweet 44 OPS+ starting the most games at 2B

I AM THOR, GOD OF THUNDER. BOW TO MY WILL AND MY HAMMER!

by anaheim angels on Jun 7, 2008 11:12 PM PDT reply actions  

my vote goes to...

Garland. Seeing 8 A’s strike out was very fun.

by bighead on Jun 7, 2008 11:13 PM PDT reply actions  

i would have to say Judith right now

with Kel going down…....hes stepped right in and done very well…...

by norcaliangelsfan on Jun 7, 2008 11:17 PM PDT up reply actions  

A white knuckle save, but a save just the same

Judy followed the yellow brick road to 8 K’s, Izzy continued his leadoff dominance, and K-Rod kept the save in order. And all against the Fremont A’s.

by halofolife on Jun 7, 2008 11:34 PM PDT reply actions  

Can anyone think of another nickname other than Judy?

Wildly iconic child actor turned druggie turned mother of the preeminent fag-hag turned overdosee isn’t what I would call an inspiring nickname for our consistent pitcher.

In the words of AC/DC: We roll tonight... to the guitar bite... and for those about to rock... I salute you.

by PieceOfAase on Jun 7, 2008 11:57 PM PDT reply actions  

Too be honest, I really don't dig that nickname either.

It sounds like were all fans of a softball league, out of West Hollywood or Palm Springs ( not that there’s anything wrong with that ) .

Booyah

Please go away Justin Speier. Your work here is done. And take Quinlan's half-inch fielding radius with you.

by ReggieBullits on Jun 8, 2008 8:55 AM PDT up reply actions  

i'd go with garland for panther

izzy’s not a bad alternative, though

Who goofed? I've got to know.
