It's a trap!

Admiral

Props to Vald for getting us going

Where Howie took a BB and hit two HR's in the same game...

Vald or Vlad, whatever

Nah,

He’d only be Vald if he shabed his head.

Tough call...

Aybar, but there was some very good D as well.

Figgins would have been higher on the board if he'd come through with Aybar on third.

2-3 with a BB though, good sign out of 1-hole. Also as you say, some nice grabs.

Admiral all over the place.

Though BIG props to Scioscia, who clearly knew exactly what Francona was going to do and set him up.

Aybar

CLUTCH hit

props to Vlad for showing that Beckett could be hit, Hokie Joe for hanging in there on an off day for him, for GA, and for the Soth micro-managing this thing to a beautiful conclusion.

You lot in OC, bring your brooms. This will send a message!

Another uncontested Panther

I love this team. I love them like a stripper loves $5 bills.

Bring on the knuckler.

Still no respect from ESPN

Just went over there and the lead story (legitimately) is Greg Norman leading the British Open …

However, notice how quickly they bury a story when their beloved Sux choke a lead, and promo it on the front page every time the Sux win.

F——bomb intended but not used.

Joe Saunders

The Admiral had a REALLY clutch hit, but when you hold the Red Sox offense to 2 runs, you’re doing something right

Write to the Angels front office. Get Tim Salmon's number 15 retired!

Is it me,

or are they starting to look more like the ‘02 Angels since the blowout in Texas?

Plate discipline still needs work, even though Hunters AB against Bucholz was classic ‘02

in the right field seats, Aybar’s hit was huge. best part is walking out of the stadiums hearing the sucks fans complain cuz they’re not healthy and that the sweep is coming in October again. hmmmm, it’s amazing what GA can do when he can actually see Boston pitching. i think we can compete with anyone when 100%.

sox nation is a joke!

buy more beer

by BruinHalo on Jul 19, 2008 4:42 PM PDT up 0 recs

get a new liver

by cupie on Jul 19, 2008 4:45 PM PDT up 0 recs

I mean...

I haven’t showered since Thursday. And since then the Angels have won. Coincidence?

Hopefully it’s your beer buying that’s doing it. I need to get clean.

by BruinHalo on Jul 19, 2008 5:05 PM PDT up 0 recs

Get a new liver and more beer

It’s a long season. A marathon not a sprint. But just take it day by day, like the Soth says

I know Aybar gets this one and all

But Saunders one day quicker than he thought he was going to pitch against Josh Beckett and he gives up like 5 hits and Two runs to one of the more potent steroid filled offenses in Baseball, hes gotta get a look for Panther too

Relax... Everything is fine

The Fox National

Broadcasters were trying to hold out hope for a BoSux comeback, by showing some stat about Boston comebacks.

Hey BoSux Fans, ask your Mom about come-from-behind wins. She knows.

Overall I thought FOX did a great job on the Angels broadcast

They said things like over the last 7 years or so, no one is really doing it better than the Angels.

They said great thngs about their pitching and front office and Scioscia.

by MH252525 on Jul 19, 2008 10:07 PM PDT up 0 recs

You're right.

For some reason I thought I was watching an ESPN broadcast.

They also said Arte Moreno hired Scioscia.

What's saddest about this

is that by itself, it’s a fairly forgiveable mistake to make IF the two events (Scioscia’s hiring and Arte’s purchase) were anywhere near each other in date. That one happened more than 8 years ago, and the other about 5 is what makes it so much more pathetic.

by Caseys Kiss of Death on Jul 20, 2008 1:12 AM PDT up 0 recs

It was pretty shoddy journalism

Scioscia had already been manager for 3 years when Arte came along and these so-called baseball experts should be well aware that Mike was hired by Bill Stoneman.

Probably Bill Stoneman’s most important move for us, alongside the Vlad signing.
