Sit Down, Shut Up, Trust Mike

nice to see that out of this offense

—way to go GA, let’s hope he turns things around

thats like leaving a bank 10 minutes before a robbery and you got the only gun

at least for this one night

which didnt even matter…. oh well.

i, as a GA hater, am certainly eating crow tonight

strike out twice and ground into a double play, all with runners in scoring position tomorrow night.

(i’m gonna keep talking shit about him because thats all i was doing tonight before he hit that bomb)

Let this be the start of his 2nd half amazing burn up!!!

make like a fine wine and just get better w/ age buddy

I knew there was one inning to watch… and it was the bottom of the 8th.

Glad I tuned in for Kotch’s AB.

was amazing last year with rbis in 11 straight games

not as good as the Return of the Napoli, but it’s good.

and isn’t it pathetic that we get this excited over 5 runs being scored in a game?

Way to go GA!

I feel so spoiled!

I CALLED IT! neener neener neener! :D :D

WTG GA! Time to let the law of averages kick in….......

It was a horseshit lineup Scioscia put out there tonight so don’t second guess yourself for second-guessing Scioscia!

As for bandwagoneers who want “easy convenient wins” I’m happy to take them anyway we can get them. I’m a veteran of the Dave Chalk/Andy Etchebarren days. The thing is back then we had a really really bad team, so everything was stress free. Anytime we won, it was gravy.

Now we have a really really good team, and people (especially those who have come into the team in more recent years) expect us to win. When we win tight games, which we are bound to do more often than not given our superior pitching/defense and weak-ass offense, the games get stressful. That’s when you see even old veteranos like myself bitch and whine.

GA relieved a lot of that stress with that sweet swing of the bat tonight. Why anyone would throw GA five straight fastballs, let alone coming inside on GA after he had fouled one off over the middle of the plate, is beyond me.

Panther: GA
Honourable panthers: Kotchman, Santana, Frankiie

But Kotch is a close second. With the clutch hit, the RBI groundout, and that awesome stop defensively.

I’m not the least bit suprised. And he stole his 6th base tonight. The man ain’t slow.

He had some sick stuff working. I hear crickets from the Frankie Hater crowd tonight…

and with a half-smile said…

“Don’t ever doubt me, for I am GA”

and I was pretty depressed after Shieldsy gave up the bomb to Ellis. Then when Torii struck out, I was annoyed, but GA made it all OK with that sweet swing of his. I sit along the right field line, and it was awesome to watch it sail into the tunnel as we all stood and cheered. Maybe the best game I have been to this year.

This team is better than it has been showing offensively, and I agree with the Rev, we should probably just trust in Scoscia (though I admit, I thought the Boy King batting third a bit odd).

What an awesome game to attend. I totally lucked into the best seat I’ve had for a baseball game in more than a decade, and saw an exciting win to boot! In line at around 6:30 to buy a single ticket, someone sold me an extra in Sec. 111, fourth row, right behind the Angels dugout. Best seat I’ve ever had at the Big A, and all for the $20 I was going to pay for an outfield seat.

I was reminded, and it’s something that’s difficult to perceive on TV or even from seats that aren’t right there at field level…a 96 mph heater is really freakin’ fast.

Could not follow the game, but gotta man up and take my lumps as an anti-GA guy. If I can dish it out, I gotta take it. Go ahead and smack me down. I earned it.

Congrats GA. Nice moment. Please have a boatload more still in your tanks…

the angels win on my birthday. thanks GA!!

It’s great to see the Halos end the 37-inning streak where they scored a total of two runs – which put in perspective represents that the Angels had failed to score more than one run in each of their previous four games. This was the Halos longest such streak since May 13-18, 1969. I’m sorry, but scoring five runs is nothing to be “thumping fists” over.

I love the fact that the Angels have become perennial winners and we all can post “compliants” when they lose. The franchise has made enormous positive steps since 2000. I also don’t want to get lulled into euphoria when they beat Oakland, KC, Seattle, Texas, Baltimore, Toronto, or some other “pretender”. Will the Halos make the playoffs? OF COURSE. Will they get to the World Series with this line-up? NOT LIKELY.

The Halos pitching is top notch (with the exception of middle relief), however it’s the offense (or lack there of) that should scare us all.

He’ll do stiff that drives you nuts, but just when you’re about to wash your hands of him, he does something awesome that makes you fall right back in love.

Go GA, and Go Halos.

There will come a time when we will reflect and reminisc with our grandchildren that we actually saw the great lazy Garret Anderson ply his wares out in left field of the old Angel Stadium when it was in Anaheim instead of Riverside.

Best seat I’ve had in a while, too.

“GAsaysSuckIt”

his presence would be appreciated right about now (maybe it is Mr. Anderson, himself?).

T-W seems to have fixed whatever was wrong with the video feed Monday nite. Last nites feed was fine.

need to STFU.

The mojo on this site needs to be positive.

It’s become a room full of whiny wusses lately—-it’s not fun anymore.

The Angels had failed to score more than one run in each of their previous four games. It was the franchise’s longest such streak since May 13-18, 1969, when they played six straight without scoring two or more and were shut out three times.

A bullseye for the one always on target.
