PrintWe have a lot of Panthers on the offense today, hell Joe threw a pretty good game, only to get sabotaged by his defense. Clearly, Johnny Rivers gets the nod over Hokie Joe and his 12th win of the season. Congratulations to Joe for his AL leading 12th win of the season and to Frank Rodriguez for his 85th save of the year
Panther: Juan Rivera

it's gotta be either the Colonel or Johnny Rivers
Colonel pitched a great game, but Rivers put us ahead.
i say give it to Juan.

juan f'in rivera
that home run was ridiculous important, hell without it, that run given up in the 7th takes joe out of the decision
he needs to play a LOT more
i pledge alliegance... to mike Scioscia
and the angels way of baseball
and to each pennant and ring we are sure to win.
one fanatic, under the halo, unwavered
with in n out and world series rings for all
yoo hoo
Hey, umm, GMJ …..
You see this wood thing over here?
That’s a bench, get used to it.
I thought...
you were going to say “see this wood thing…it’s a BAT; learn how to use it.”

I thought he was going to say...
“that’s my desk. Can you help me move it?”
"Bloody your hands on a cactus tree/
Wipe it on your dress and send it to me."
Johnny Rivers definitely the panther here.
The Hunt for a Red October ...and please keep telling Clutch to chill!
potg goes to...
juan or casey for the clutch ab’s. although casey’s clutch ab doesnt mean anything with out juans bomb….
its a toss up imo
JUAN, makes the most sense. now give him playing time!
Juancho, hands down
This is a team in desperate need of three-run homers. He needs HH voodoo to get more playing time!
you get vice-panther for coming back
hahaha
and maybe a lieutenant panther to 1866baseball.com

Tough call man, but Juan Rivera changed the game totally with one swing
No discredit to Joe Saunders, who was equally luminous and has the 12 wins to prove it.
Don't call me Desmond
I have a much better question:
What is that oddly shaped numeral representing the Angels’ total runs scored for the day?
Yeah...like a squiggly ONE or something...

I think to represent that we won the game & series
The scorers have flipped an L upside down.

Ah! "7" means "anti-L", as in "anti-lose", and
anti-lose means WIN!
Makes perfect sense now. Thanks.
Juan with the POTG in a landslide
Joe pitched well w/o his best stuff which reminded me of Chuck Finley. He didn’t have his normally great control of his fastball and this curve definitely was not his best version. He had a good change though today and it seemed like he used it a bit more than normal.
JUANCHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO = POTG
I yelled that so loud when he hit it out and it felt good to say it again.
Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Got to also give a shout out to MINI VLAD for his kick ass HR
Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah
I felt kinda bad for Akbar after his terrible throw to 2nd costing the Halos a run. You could tell that he was really beating himself up for that god-awful toss.
During his next at-bat he had a look on his face like “I’m gonna whack this pinche pelota deep even if I have to get in my car and drive it there”
Redemption is sweet!
Let no joyful voice be heard! Let no man look up at the sky with hope! And let this day be cursed by we who ready to wake... the K-Rod!
We'll Do It for Johnny
Big Juan kicks the Socs out of our neighborhood.
If he bags Diane Lane tonight, he wins Panther of the Century.
Rivera
He’s the guy who hit the big one. The Admiral’s was just insurance, and his error led to the run anyways.
Angels fan since '67
Gotta be Rivera
with a runner up to both Hokie Joe and to ET.
Hokie Joe for pitching a great game, and to ET for keeping it cool after SideSalad and E-Bar gave up the run.
Angels fan since '67
See what happens when we get into the opposing bullpen?!
And that’s not the booze talkin! Pitch count pitch count pitch count. Work it and good things will happen
Dear Scottnak...
Although I’d love to take an extra point (and you can still give it to me if you want) I have to say that you messed up my line…. you put Figgins- Kotch- Kotch for 2 pts… instead of figgy – Kotch -Vlad for 1 pt… Don’t wanna get called a cheater… gotta win fair and square…
Show 'em your a panther... Show 'em what you can do....

Panther easily goes to
Juan…..
on a side note – Figgins needs to start getting on base in the leadoff spot…
Outfielders For Sale.
Juan Rivera tells the A's to Foulke off! What a sweet series win.
After the disappointment of Monday’s loss, these two wins were great. Nice to see the Angels play long ball with two HRs, but also mix in some text book small ball in the way the Angels scored HK twice from 2nd base without the benefit of a base hit.
Ain't no stoppin' us now. We got the groove!
see, that is how a team should win
there was a good balance of small ball and power in today’s game.
we had guys get on, over and in with the small ball, and them 3 runs off of homers. if we can figure out how to mix in both of those, we will have a very good shot in October

Ive been away the last two days because of work.......
and the O’s been nails…...so if i’m around tomorrow during the game…...and the halos lose…..i might have to consider staying away…..you know….for the betterment of the team…..
Nice job Johnny Rivers and Hokie Joe!

Mr Mom...
Alternate take on that line later in the movie …
“What’d you shoot him with? A 38?”
“38, 39, whatever it takes”

How about Hud
for calling Juan’s HR. I love that he said that JR was going to “dial 8” (for long distance), a really great, obscure phrase if I ever heard one.
More JR (and Kowbell)! Chicks dig the long ball, but guys like ‘em, too!
K-brothers rule! (Kendrick & Kotch)
I think perhaps Dial-8 should be Juan's new official nickname.
He doesn’t really have any inspired ones right now. (The Colonel or ET, for example)
~Till the Halo burns out...
The man with the high-lights in his hair
Mr. Juan River…ah
