Hunter
Breaking out of it. Hopefully he keeps this up. If he does, this team is just going to get better in the 2nd half.
Fangraphs sez
Torii Hunter, though not by much. Tonight’s was a team effort. Golden Raspberry to GMJ.
Witty .sig goes here.

I'd say Torii all the way
Congrats on the 2 homers.
Was I the only one in the big inning for the Rangers furious that they walked Bradley with a 3-2 slider with a 7 run lead when Santana was throwing 99 mph? I didn’t mind the homeruns nearly as much as that damn walk. If he hits a 99 mph fastball tip your cap and move on. Troy Percival made a living throwing 99mph 90% of his pitches.
I went with Mathis
just for knocking Ramirez over in the 8th (even if M.R. did hold onto the ball)

IMO
I know it’s heat of the moment and its a split second decision but I think he’d been better off with a slide. Ramirez had just gotten the ball and it wasn’t a given he’d been able to tag him before Mathis touched the plate. But I don’t think I’d want Mathis bowling over a catcher with the game on the line against the A’s right now. If he gets injured….. Ryan Budde is going to be the starting catcher and I don’t even know who the backup would be.
Saunders may miss tomorrow's start...
his first child, a baby girl was due today…waiting for call from wife at anytime…we may have an emergency starter tomorrow! Who will start in his place if he has to go west…what happens if he is pitching and she calls…? :((
Linkie to story on angels site
This is BAD Vlad and his band of wimps!
My guess would be Jered on three days rest
then Saunders in Jered’s spot.
~Till the Halo burns out...
or we could trade for Jaime Burke
If he only gave up 1 run per inning like he did for the M’s the Angels would have a fighting chance.
Let's have Ervin go again.
He’s already had his kid.

not worried
first babies are notoriously late. mine was born 5 days past his due date.
I'm not superstitious, but I'm a little stitious.

My first
Was a week early. Ticked off my parents to no end, because the had rescheduled an Alaska cruise so as not to miss the scheduled arrival.
My mom had to make do with a faxed copy of the (very bad) hospital pic till they got back.

torii for sure
he ruined someone’s birthday
Mike Scioscia: He provides to unlike method of your team member.
Great win!
Memo to Scoscia: bench GMJ! Now! Play Johnny Rivers every day. He is a better player. In every way.
K-brothers rule! (Kendrick & Kotch)
as much as i hate the GMJ bashing
or bashing anyone who wears the halo jersey, i gotta agree with you. he’s gotta be last on the OF depth chart right now. play juanito!
I don't like it much either.
And I try not to root against him while he’s in our uni. But Juan’s a better player, and always has been. He needs to start getting some real ABs.
~Till the Halo burns out...
It's the worst when he's hitting
ahead of Howard. I hate the Soth a little more each day he makes a lineup like that.

Eh.
Sosh has his downsides, but overall, he’s still the best in baseball at managing, and I wouldn’t trade him for anybody.
~Till the Halo burns out...
Yea, I love him very much.
It just irks me, though I’m sure it does us all.

Not
In defense, switch hitting, or speed. However, I do like Rivera.
Angel Pitching, Angel Defense - get past that.

I don't know about Johnny's fielding. It's not bad but it aint HGH.
Remember the assist HGH got out of the right field corner?
Rivera once led the NL in OF assists
and he only played half the season. Also, did you see him one hop Kendrick from the outfield corner to help nail that guy at the plate on Sunday?
~Till the Halo burns out...
How strong can he be if he one hopped to the cut off man?
But let’s say he’s got a strong arm? He’s got mediocre movement. He’s better than Vladdy but I don’t know if he much better than GA. HGH is more athletic with a rocket for an arm.
I’m not saying that justifies keeping him in the lineup. It certainly doesn’t justify putting him at DH. When you look at the balance between offense and defense, the defense is WAY ahead. I think it makes sense to compromise a little defense to get a lot more offense.
So did Manny
Seattle I would like to thank you for sucking. It allows me to get back to my roots: Hating Fremont.
Kobe tell me how my ass tastes
INTERNET TOUGH GUYS from Lone Star Ball:
from the end of their game thread,
Adam J. Morris- The real story from this game: “When it comes to Jeff Mathis, the story ends with putting one in his earhole.”
ghtd36- “He’s going to get a Matt Harrison pitch in his ear tomorrow.”
Gdawg1- “Then shoving his bat up his butthole.”
Sore losers. Ha, ha ,ha, like I’m sure Jeff is shaking in his boots right now. We don’t call him “Shotgun” for nothing. Just try to catch him off his guard. Ain’t going to happen, the Rangers should just try to focus on throwing the ball at all without recording all those errors.
Is it just a coincidence...
that the guy we consider the worst performing Angel in the line-up (GMJ) is a former Ranger? Chew on that for a while guys.
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!
For the second straight game I vote for Mathis
If I didn’t know any better, I think he’s earning a little respect from Halo Heaven bloggers
Where I am still waiting for Howie to take another base on balls
Why don't you write a fanpost...
that covers the disrespect of Mathis? It’s a fashionable thing to do …
