Pitcher pitches one inning

gets panther.

Aybar with a two-RBI triple and a game saving double play in the 9th…

Come on, screw saves. Worthless stat.

Fight!

I thought it was funny, but I think any time someone uses a nonsensical “your mom..” is hilarious.

Whatever dude.

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

In fact now your asking for a serious azz wipping.

Your mom jokes only show how childish you are.

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.

If you'll look at my posts

I’m a very big GA fan. To me, the “GA lazy” bit is just a running gag at this point.

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.

by docescobar07 on Aug 20, 2008 11:51 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

no he is making a statement that you should be banned for

“being contentious with members of THIS community!” you should be banned! learn a lesson!

Frankie all the way

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

Ain't no stoppin' us now. We got the groove!

I thought panther was for excellence.

But apparently its for not-sucking now.

Gotta be Frankie

The Angels really needed this win, and we needed a stopper. Frankie was it tonight.

No love for Figgy?

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

by Brew Angel on Aug 20, 2008 7:31 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Fangraphs

Figgy=Panther, mostly for his third-inning double.

Witty .sig goes here.

With your 2009 closer

Nearly blowing the game, K-Rod was a breath of fresh air.

by BBFan1 on Aug 20, 2008 7:32 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

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.

Angels in 08!

by tanana40 on Aug 20, 2008 7:34 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

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.

Light Up That Halo!

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.

by tbone_cutter on Aug 20, 2008 7:46 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

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.

Angel Pitching, Angel Defense - get past that.

Frankie being Frankie...

But the POTG should go to the Admiral.

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!

Arrendondo: Not yet ready for prime time.

Games like these underscores the obvious: We need Frankie.

You ever feel as if your mind had started to erode?

by PieceOfAase on Aug 20, 2008 10:36 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

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.

Fuentes?

He’s a free agent after this year, right?

I don’t trust handing the closer’s job—even on a split-time basis—to Shields.

Someone's signature needs to change

I think it’s Stirrups, but whoever has the signature about Frankie being tied with Carrasco for career panthers needs to make the change now. Hahaha. About time.

Yes, that would be me.

And yes, it HAS been done.

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.

Thanks again Tampa for making us play a night game

Again, if I was the Angels Tampa would red eying it out of Angel stadium for a few years.

ESPN, not Tampa.

They scheduled this for their Wednesday Night Special, so it had to be a night game.
