Pitcher pitches one inning

Aybar with a two-RBI triple and a game saving double play in the 9th…
Come on, screw saves. Worthless stat.

Not funny when the person you say it to has lost their mother to cancer

It was a joke sally sensitive.....
you r the kind of people who ruin a good time. Mom jokes are ment to lighten up the mood. I dont actually intend to make fun of his mother. Anyone who takes those jokes seriously needs to take their The Cure Cds and toss them away and stop watching Grey’s Anatomy and find them selves a sense of humor.

Spoken like someone who insults another person's mother
How can you say “I don’t actually intend to make fun of his mother” yet you started of the asinine remark with “Your”. What was the intention? Disparaging comments of family loved ones by someone is only funny to those that have not been the effected.
Find it hard to believe that the comment made would lighten up the mood if your saying it to another person who has lost their mother. Pure case of someone that does not think before speaking or has an education of ant.

Ban this! (Grabs his Crotch)
I made a joke to show how ridiculous your statement was. You didn’t provide any evidence or reasoning to why saves are worthless. So you want me banned because I made your statement look like a joke? Now that I think about it this conversation isn’t worth my time.

After so many bullpen failures the past week, this one has to go to Frankie.

But apparently its for not-sucking now.

No love for Figgy?
2 – 4, BB, SB, RBI, and that slide in the 9th to ensure no potential for a DP!

GA at-bat in the 9th was a hit, correct?
I had to leave for a short time, the Gameday play by play says it was an error but the postgame show say it was a hit as does the Gameday box score.

I still say GA
Our winning the game virtually depended on that at-bat. He GIDPs or flies out, we remain tied and quite probably lose.

GA's hit
Was dribbling into the outfield. It would have been a close play at first, to be able to record the out.
by BBFan1 on Aug 20, 2008 7:45 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
GA for panther
I would have gone with Frankie had he been more dominant. However, that first hit was well struck and the double play ball could have easily been a hit as well. Time to give some love to GA for the hit streak too.

Frankie, since no clear cut new record gets it
I had to leave the thread in the bottom of the second to go back to work. Looks like it was another grinder. ’bout time for an Angel blowout.

Arrendondo: Not yet ready for prime time.
Games like these underscores the obvious: We need Frankie.

Arredondo: Still learning. Give the kid a chance before throwing the franchise at Frankie.
Mike Scioscia: He provides to unlike method of your team member.

Arredondo will get good at it. He has'nt even played a full year yet.
If Frankie goes, I would favor having two guys capable at assuming the closer role but not necessarily exclusively closers. i think the Angels could benefit from an expanded and flexible bullpen next year.
by 44FAN on Aug 21, 2008 12:03 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
We still need Frankie.
Arredondo still needs to mature before you place him in a critical role such as closing a game. And you cant judge a guy after less than a season before giving him a role such as closer. Shields is a great Set-up man but you need a guy to go in day in and day out and be able to get the job done. And the bullpen would have to be better before it can be flexible or expanded. Having Speier and Oliver aint cutting it. The Angels need better pitchers in the pen.

Frankie..................Yawn
Aybar should get panther. he made two great plays and hit a 2 RBI triple were he busted ass out of the box. That is Angel baseball. Upton would have had a single on that hit.
