Magic Teens

The MAGIC NUMBER is now 18

Cleveland beats Texas ... Angel division lead is 16 Games, an all-time franchise mark.

Frankie becomes only the 10th man in history to record at least 49 saves in a season.

Panther of the Game: Darren Oliver

Frankly, the Twins errors gifted us that four-run inning and Garland's meltdown could maybe be lack of focus, might be Twins awesomeness, but is probably him just running out of gas earlier in each game.

Good call, Rev

I agree on Oliver

Tex is a distant 2nd, but Oliver came in and cleaned up Judy’s mess

Cousin Oliver

Is an old-school fireman reliever.

Tex because we finally won when he hit a homer.

And it was a pretty big homer. Besides that, 3-3 with an IBB.

+1

i came here to talk about us winning when he homers…hopefully both continue

Oliver!

Tex is so good, it would be unfair to consider him.

Angel Pitching, Angel Defense - get past that.

by vladtheimpaler on Aug 23, 2008 9:04 PM PDT 0 recs

I'll go DO...

Would love to see Tex get one, but this is Ollie’s night…

Whodathunk we would be rooting for a former Ranger come August...?

Co-Panthers?

Hey,

We are slumping, and we still manage to beat the two of the best teams. Doesn’t slump mean you get swept? Of course, We Are the Angels.

Angel Pitching, Angel Defense - get past that.

Oliver all the way for Panther.

He stopped the insanity. It looked like the Angels were on their way to blowing a 6-1 lead. And that surely would have prompted some “1995” chatter. But Ollie shut down the Twins.

Honorable mention to the clubhouse door.

Time to go channel surf between the Cleveland/Texas and the Oakland/Seattle games.

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

THINNER FONT ON THE WIN!!!

need more mayhem!

what will satisfy your hunger?

by Rev Halofan on Aug 23, 2008 9:19 PM PDT up 0 recs

no, but it will make me laugh more!

by ladybug on Aug 23, 2008 9:31 PM PDT up 0 recs

I disagree entirely

Needs less mayhem. In fact, the letters WIN need to be moved down a bit further to cover up even the slightest hint of mayhem’s JUNK. Here’s hoping the REV saved the PSD.

hahahaha awesome win pic

i was hoping this one would show up sometime.

to the Panther business… i think it has to be Oliver. He came in and stopped the rally, then shut down the Twins completely. great game for him tonight.

I told you...

that this new WIN pic would do the trick

Ollie for POTG for sure.

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!

#38 for potg

POTG...

In order…
1) DO
2) U-Haul
3) Figgy

Enjoying the win to dwell on how crappy Judy looked.

Let’s keep lowering that magic number!

i dont know if anyone else noticed this

but on Angels Live, Rex said that the club sent KMo back down to Salt Lake and called up Jason Bulger.
i don’t have a link to anything yet, but take that for what it is.

thats a bummer........although the pitching will help.........

one day Kendry will get a full time shot.

by norcaliangelsfan on Aug 23, 2008 10:35 PM PDT up 0 recs

Call-up for Bulger HOPEFULLY means

less pitching by Speier!

by sothball on Aug 23, 2008 10:44 PM PDT up 0 recs

next year, i'm sure

at least i’m hoping so.
he deserves it. he’s a hitter

Sparkles

So I’ve just returned home from a friend’s birthday party, which I only departed from during the PM because I have work at 5am. At this party I have no way of checking what’s going on, but I expect that it couldn’t be anything special, what with the way things have been for the last week.

I leave Costa Mexico after ten, headed for my apartment in Fullerton’s barrio. The 55 North to the 5. I’m approaching the Orange Crush when I realize I’m about to find out.

I go past the 57 on-ramp, up past the labyrinth of bridges, my head turns to the right. And there it is, twinkling in the darkness.

“YES!”

Best sober drive home I’ve ever had.

If you've got a cell with SMS texting

Text the word ANGELS to 65246 (MLBGO). You can get the current (or final) score.

I don't know what SMS texting is

But I’ll ask my more savvy friends in the morning.

For some reason...

looking up at the A for whether the team won or lost seems a bit more exciting to me…..

I got back from a 2-week trip overseas and my ride on the super shuttle last night led my by the stadium…I saw the glimmering of the halo and was excited to learn that the Angels had won, even if I did not know the score.

I had the same feeling as Zoe Necrosis.
