until he got sick last year

you mean.

With an unidentified illness that we all want to diagnose as “a sudden case of sucking ass”

This is what other relievers not named Shields or K-Rod do by the way.

They’ll own with a 2 era one year and suck balls the next. Shields and K-Rod are WAY under-appreciated for how consistently awesome they’ve been.

~Till the Halo burns out...

outside of Fenway.

But yes, by-and-large relief pitching is inexplicably terrible in the AL.

It's ok, we swept Boston.

we sold a loss to the Indians for that.

by shiftyeyedgoat on Jul 21, 2008 9:19 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

I hate nights like tonight.

It takes all the momentum built up over the past week and a half, and all the success realized, and throws it all away in such a manner that all the critics can forget everything and proclaim that the Angels are nothing without A Big Bat.

Yeah, as if The Big Bat will always come up to the plate at that magic time when we have runners in scoring position, and they will always get the big hit, winning the game for us. Like it already does for Vladdie. Not.

Francisco Rodriguez: 186 career saves. 2 career Panthers, tied with Hector Carrasco.

See but that was just it.

Juan kept coming up in the clutch, and kept COMING THROUGH in the clutch. This game ain’t over yet though.

~Till the Halo burns out...

by Zu Long on Jul 21, 2008 9:21 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

fair enough, it isn't over

but with the whiffleball offense of the Angels and a complete lack of cohesion, there’s little chance we rally for 5 runs in 2 innings.

by shiftyeyedgoat on Jul 21, 2008 9:22 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

The "whiffleball" offense is bullshit.

We have a good offense. We’ve rallied for 4 runs against josh becket, and we can do it against these bozos.

~Till the Halo burns out...

by Zu Long on Jul 21, 2008 9:24 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

scattering singles all night

scoring one run on a doinker from the 9-slot.

That’s whiffleball’d.

by shiftyeyedgoat on Jul 21, 2008 9:25 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

No, it's lack of clutch'd.

There’s a difference.

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

lol, where have you been all season?

Go apologize somewhere else about the 4th worst offense in the league.

by shiftyeyedgoat on Jul 21, 2008 9:29 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

5th. We past Oakland a while ago.

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

by TheOptimist on Jul 21, 2008 9:29 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

pardon, 5th worst.

We got the upgrade of Izturis in the 3-slot.

Ugh.

by shiftyeyedgoat on Jul 21, 2008 9:30 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

We got Rivera hitting 375 475 700.

Guess you missed that part.

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

by TheOptimist on Jul 21, 2008 9:31 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

See, saying we have a bad offense and saying GMJ

shouldn’t be playing are very different things.

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

by TheOptimist on Jul 21, 2008 9:34 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Oh, it's both.

Juan Rivera is massively overrated, but only by Angel fans praying for a bat to come along.

But a trade is no good, because then we’ll essentially be trading away the future for a shot at winning the ALDS.

by shiftyeyedgoat on Jul 21, 2008 9:35 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yup.

Massively overrating the .880 hitter an offense that’s averaged ~6 runs a game without GMJ. The same offense that whooped the Sox in three straight.

~Till the Halo burns out...

by Zu Long on Jul 21, 2008 9:37 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

The first game, was a whoopin'

And no one is more glad to see that than I am. But the next two were come-from-behind nailbiters.

You can thank your local Kotchman for that.

by shiftyeyedgoat on Jul 21, 2008 9:39 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Rivera started that rally.

Clutch hits make the difference, and so did he.

Losing in the first round of the playoffs yet again,

is really going to suck after such a beautiful showing by the rotation all year.

by shiftyeyedgoat on Jul 21, 2008 9:31 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Where as if we followed the advice of most on the board,

half the rotation would be gone for a 1B with an .800 OPS. Joy.

hey, I've learned not to listen to anyone here.

These’re the same people who wanted Escobar in the bullpen at the outset of the 2007 season.

You could always root for the Sox.

I hear that goes over great at ESPN too.

blame GMJ

we didnt suck until he was stuck back in the lineup.

obviously, our offense caught fire with Juan…. so naturally, we should disturb that in the middle of a winning streak.
