how does Willits get rewarded for last night? have a seat! in favor of GMJ
Where in case you haven't noticed, Howie's up to 3 HRs...
If Izturis can do it, why not Erick? >_>

Just because Izzy hits 3rd
doesn’t mean that Aybar has to as well. Egads, Scioscia can be goofy with his lineups.
Whoa, lineup?
That’s awful. Aybar 3rd, GMJ actually playing? Way to pat Willits on the back for yesterday, I guess…
I hope Harden wins 10 more games for the Cubs. Ha!
Looked that way on TV, too.

my browser was not refreshing...
it looked to me if I was the only one in the thread
Where in case you haven't noticed, Howie's up to 3 HRs...
I hope GMJ is playing to be showcased.
It’s beginning to look like Sosh is turning 180 degrees from his comments about GMJ a week or two ago.
Anything is possible.
Though it may have more to do with the fact that we’re playing a lefty.
~Till the Halo burns out...
this has got to be the worst offense in baseball
come on Big John!
Where in case you haven't noticed, Howie's up to 3 HRs...
no Zu, it is- it's Sizemore and a bunch of scrubs...the Indians are terrible
Where in case you haven't noticed, Howie's up to 3 HRs...
this is a team missing Martinez and Hafner, this team stinks- I'm sorry- I totally disagree with you on this
This is a game you have to win if you’re the Angels.
Up until recently, most teams in baseball have scored at least 20 more runs than us.
Where in case you haven't noticed, Howie's up to 3 HRs...
Sure.
But “have to win” is all relative. And I still take Sizemore plus scrubs over what the Mariners throw out everyday.
~Till the Halo burns out...
okay, well should win- I mean look at this lineup they have today...Shin-Soo Choo is hitting cleanup
Sizemore is a nice player, but this team they’ve fielded is pretty terrible.
Where in case you haven't noticed, Howie's up to 3 HRs...
Yup, I agree not a great lineup.
Though again, the M’s have Jose Vidro bat cleanup. JOSE VIDRO.
~Till the Halo burns out...
hey Rory...
OC isnt on our team anymore.
bad play, John
Mike Scioscia: He provides to unlike method of your team member.
OK, got our work cut our for us, fellas.
Let’s get those runs back.
*Visiting Angels fan* Never give up, never surrender!
wow, 32 pitches to get out of the 1st.
Gotta step up John.
Cause he's had so many this year.

Last start, 3 runs, 7 innings, QS plus.
What about it?

the Boston start ended up okay, but he got pounded by Toronto and Texas previously
- 7/10 Texas 5.2 IP 15 hits, 6 runs
- 7/5 Toronto 6 IP 8 hits, 6 runs
Where in case you haven't noticed, Howie's up to 3 HRs...
even his last start against Boston was very shaky early
Where in case you haven't noticed, Howie's up to 3 HRs...
And he battled and had a good start anyway. No reason he can't do it today.
*Visiting Angels fan* Never give up, never surrender!

agree with both of you- hoping the same thing happens today
Where in case you haven't noticed, Howie's up to 3 HRs...
they drove in separate cars
It is a home game…
Laffey being a woman and pegging Figgz for the out
Mike Scioscia: He provides to unlike method of your team member.
We've had that happen like 3 times this year. You'd think we'd learn to run to the ****ing

now we need to get something going against Laffey Taffey
he gave up eight runs in his last start
Where in case you haven't noticed, Howie's up to 3 HRs...
Good start to the inning.
Keep it going, Rivera!
*Visiting Angels fan* Never give up, never surrender!
I see we spotted the Spiders 2 runs again. nice of us.

This prof is a hack... He's a visiting professor at pepperdine
WTF does he know about LCD technology?
Is Pepperdine even a real school?

I dunno, but even if it were, physics isn't something they do.
They’ve got 3 profs and 2 visiting profs. They’re there to teach physics, not to actually do research.
God forbid a professor , y'know, teach.
Gather around, children, for the Legend of Mighty Kirk McCaskill
I don't have a problem with that, but if you're trying to endorse technology
having a prof that ONLY teaches isn’t your best endorsement.
Not only that, if you read the fine print during the ad
I think it says he’s a professor of astrophysics. LCDs are not made out of stars, dark matter, or anything else related to cutting-edge astrophysics.
Way to advance the runner, Aybar.
Score him, Vlad!

Ugh...gross Vladdy!
Figgy could not have scored on that piece of sh*t popup to RF

Methinks John is not long for this game
Over 90 pitches now. And getting squeezed. Think Scioscia lets him go beyond the 5th? I’d feel a lot better if we hadn’t needed the bullpen to throw 6 innings last night. (Though we have an off-day tomorrow….)
Nope.
We’re gonna need O’day and possibly Speier for this one…
*Visiting Angels fan* Never give up, never surrender!
I agree, who can pitch today?
Not Oliver
Probably not Dondo
That leaves Speier and O’day, youch!

Sweet Jeezus GA, cut em closer why don’t you.

Well
He didn’t really have a spring training, so the popular theory is “dead arm”, which is what Weaver went through last season.
by ReggieBullits on Jul 23, 2008 2:10 PM PDT up reply actions
Mid-season dead-arm plus bad ump plus good old regression.
At least he waited until the offense got good enough to bail him out before cashing in some suck games.
