Come on U-Haul, you are just borrowing that Angels uniform you are wearing.

What is it with these bad teams
We really play bad against them. None of our starting pitchers have really good outings. Their not terrible (Weaver 2 ER, Lackey 3 ER, Saunders 3 ER) but they have been so much better just recently.
Is it truly not interesting enough against a bad team ?

Indians aren't that bad
They’ve had some killer injuries this year

They are pretty bad, still.
Just look at the errors they make. Their pitching (apart from Lee) isn’t supposed to limit us to this couple of runs.

Hey, the chair are sailing! You believe that I am toad of the month!

I want him to get it together
But I don’t think he will.

He won't be the closer next year, we all know what Sosh thinks of veterans
And I’d prefer that we not destroy him before we need him in the playoffs.

Scioscia's opinion of veterans didn't keep Frankie from taking over at 22.
It won’t keep Dondo from taking over at 24.
~Till the Halo burns out...
I'll put $5 on the table that Arredondo doesn't close a majority of the games next year

He hasn't really gotten much to hit today.
2 walks ain’t bad. He’s been pretty patient.

I wanted to add that...
But at least he’ll walk pretty often, and get on base somehow.

4 years younger than G.A.
is a LOT, and again, roster management takes quite a bit on Soth’s part.
by Rev Halofan on Aug 17, 2008 12:45 PM PDT up reply actions
Would Soth jeopardise the streak for a PH appearance
My feeling is he would in the right situation, ie, Quinlan’s or Mathis’ spot
