Poor John. Always that 1 pitch, 1 out away.
But still a great start.
*Visiting Angels fan* Never give up, never surrender!
Lead off double.
Was he perfect after that?

To REV and SCOTT
Can everyone get 1 POINT for each Kotchman vote, for consolation.
Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Goose-eggs baby!
Pity big John couldn’t have gotten Pedroia and Youkilis … I’d have liked those goose-eggs a lot more!

It's a great day to be an Angels fan.
Our ace gets two outs away from a no-no in one of our houses of horrors, Fenway Park.
We acquire the big bat we’ve been wanting for years now.
Our division lead is the biggest in club history.
And, finally, our Halos have the best record in all of baseball.
YES WE CAN!
The Hunt for a Red October ...and please keep telling Clutch to chill!
Wow
Darned impressive. A friend of mine, Red Sox fan, said he’d petition to have the Boston runs deleted from the record, as it “completely misrepresents the depth of the spanking.”
What a day!
Congrats Thunder. One day I must meet you in person so I can hear your voice. That shit’s funny.

Phillies GM
In an article on ESPN he was commenting that he was going to retire and the new guys do everything over text message. His punchline is “I have no one to trade with”
He does not know how to text.

The cell phones were out Reagins said on the post-game show because of the earthquake.
That’s why some of the negotiations were done by text message.
Heard Reagins
on Baseball Tonight, he said they ended up doing a lot of the deal through text messages, due to the earthquake yesterday screwing up the phones
Pain heals, Chicks dig scars, Glory lasts Forever!
Interesting
I couldn’t text or call for about an hour after the quake. But I’m not a General Manager for one of the most valuable franchises in Major League Baseball either. Can you text from a satellite phone?

Tex in an Angels uniform looks pretty cool.
But seeing our Kotch in Atlanta blue makes me sad. =(

What an awesome effort by Big John
Complete game in that ballpark against that lineup.
Mark Teixeira update: Reportedly heard screaming at the charter jet pilot, “Would you HURRY UP! Fly this damn thing faster!!!” ;)
Ain't no stoppin' us now. We got the groove!

I think we should try to get Sherril from the O's
He could be our closer next year

Sherril sucks...
don’t trade for him – just because he is racking up saves doesn’t mean he is good.
Jim Scully
Bora$
Scott Bora$ clients do not sign contract extensions; they all become free agents, and sign with the team that offers the most money. Period. It’s simple to resign Teixeira: offer him the most money. If they do, he stays; if they don’t, he leaves. A very simple equation.
agreed
Mark my words. He wont stay here. He will be in Yankee pinstripes next year
Write to the Angels front office. Get Tim Salmon's number 15 retired!
I don't know
The Yankees, although they’ll have a LOT more money to spend next year (no more luxury tax), do have a lot of 1B/DH types already on the roster, even assuming they don’t keep Giambi. They’ll probably need a catcher, and pitching, before they sign a 1B, and so they might not top the Angels’ offer.
How do you know Arte won't pay?
Especially if we…if we…I can’t even say it without fear of a jinx. So yeah, who’s to say Arte won’t pay?
by ReggieBullits on Jul 29, 2008 7:09 PM PDT up reply actions
I really hope he does
and it isnt out of the realm of possibility. We will have money freed up by losing K-Rod and Anderson, but I dont know. The Yankees spend money like Oprah at a buffet

Considering...
That we used Jose, Shields and KRod, John’s performance was even better. I was worried about our ‘pen playing these seven games against BOS/NYY but John did his part.
Anyone have any idea of the lineup tomorrow?
Here is something I read from the beloved LA Times
“Teixeira does not come without a little baggage—he was a suspected target of critical comments made this month by Rangers closer C.J. Wilson.
In an interview with Dallas radio station KTCK, Wilson said the chemistry in the Rangers’ clubhouse had improved markedly this season, saying a “dark cloud” had been lifted from the club last July.
The Rangers traded Teixeira, Kenny Lofton and Eric Gagne last July. Wilson cited Gagne as a good teammate but did not mention Teixeira or Lofton by name.
“Some of the big-name guys weren’t exactly interested in being part of a team,” Wilson said. “They were just interested in bank accounts.”
Scioscia, though, said he “doesn’t think chemistry is going to be an issue. He certainly blends in on the field. In the clubhouse, that won’t be an issue.”
I was worried that this guy was a me, me, me type. I hope he doesnt ruin a good thing by being an ass. I guess we will wait and see

Scioscia does an excellent job of keeping all that jazz in check. I have faith in him and his ability to maintain order amongst his team.

He was due for this type of effort. Great Job.
Angel Pitching, Angel Defense - get past that.
STOP TALKING, LINDSEY SOTO
she is putting words into Casey’s mouth, then taking them back, then calling him “a man of few words”—AWKWARD.
isn’t there a USC game to cover?

Its a fault of mine. But seriously, most of them are hired for their looks. I mean come on, Jillian Barberie! Although now that I think about it I take it back, Pam Oliver does a decent job. Even if she is a bit racist at times

What an incredible afternoon.
I was sitting in my office with a good friend/fellow Angel fan. We hit refresh on the news and saw the trade was consummated. We’ve always been the team that stood pat at the deadline, and then we watched some big bats take us down in October.
But now, look at the heart of our order:
Figgy
HK47
Texeira
Vlad
Torii
GA
JuanGone
Mathis/Naps
Izzy/Aybar
Lots of power. Lots of production. Great table setters for the producers. It’s a fantastic lineup. I have to say that the acquisition of Torii, combined with this acquisition of Tex, turns us into quite the dangerous offensive club.
Whod’ve thunk it?
And then, our big stud, who’s been having problems recently, and has needed a statement outing against the Sox, goes out, in their house, and lays down the complete domination. That was one of the most dominating performances by an Angel starter since Big John Stud did basically the same thing to Oakland when he retired 27 in a row after a leadoff hit. That was an amazing piece of work by Big John tonight. And the offense lays out another six runs. Impressive.
This has been one of the greatest few hours Angel fans have had since October 02…
howie wont be batting 2nd
Although he should

Good or ill, this is one of the biggest days in halo history
monumental. Thats all my brain can form
DiSarcina is my co-pilot
and another thing
this win gives the Angels the third straight series win against Boston this year. Panther!
7 straight victories

More posturing from Reagins on Sport Center
When asked what would happen if the Angels don’t sign Teixeira for next year. “We have Kendry Morales or Trumbow to fill the first base position.”
It's not posturing
Teixeira is a win-now trade.
Witty .sig wishing ladybug a happy birthday goes here.
He could be useful
Not sure how long he would take to get used to major league pitching.
Trumbo’s doing well after three straight years in single-A, as
Witty .sig wishing ladybug a happy birthday goes here.
funny
from what i’ve seen from kowbell in the MLB, he looks pretty used to major league pitching. i don’t have stats to go off of, but i remember him raking pretty good in his shot up here.
"Here we go baby, 'bout f***'n' time!"

Sure, but you don't ever know one way or the other until he gets a larger sample.
And with Kotch playing first, that was never gonna happen.
~Till the Halo burns out...
Graphics/Stat crew made a mistake last night
They put up a graphic of previous Angels no-hitters. They forgot the Langston/Witt combined no-hitter.
