Self employment is a beautiful thing

Until you blow off work you were supposed to do on a Tuesday morning to find out that on Wednesday afternoon you could have sat in the Diamond Club for the cost of a couple cold beers.

yes...."aces" shouldnt be giving up 6 runs in 5 innings.......

if the angels scored 12 runs a lil more consistantly then I wouldnt really be bothered by it

http://bills.sportsbloggingnetwork.com/

by norcaliangelsfan on Jul 23, 2008 2:53 PM PDT up reply actions  

but the offense scores 3-4 runs......more consistantly than getting 10...

which means our starting pitchers giving up 3 or more runs in their starts…....is GOING to be of a concern…...........see the last two games as perfect examples.

http://bills.sportsbloggingnetwork.com/

by norcaliangelsfan on Jul 23, 2008 2:58 PM PDT up reply actions  

Unless, of course

we have reason to believe the offense is breaking out of that 3-4 run per game mode, which it seems they are. And since we all knew the offense to be capable of this all year, I’m fine with it right now.

Funny Story

Went to the game on Monday with my 7 year old daughter, She asked who was up so I pointed to the dispay showing her the picture of who was up. Asdrubal Cabrera’s picture was showing.

Her response…. “The creepy looking guy is hitting?” with an absolute look of disgust on her face.
