Bummer in the Summer

Blame of the Game: Gary Matthews Junior

On a night when the baserunners let us all down, Gary grounded into a double play, struck out and overran a ball that allowed the eventual go-ahead run to get to third base. At least we have a bajillionteen game lead and Vlad rested those knees...

BOTG

Anyone that picked up a bat that had a halo on their helmet.

any offensive player really

But Weaver’s wild pitch was the deciding factor, too… tough call

Hooters anyone?

by Chone's Chonies on Aug 25, 2008 9:29 PM PDT 0 recs

But the guy still only gave up 2 runs.

So not Weav.

Figgy or GMJ

not figgy, he had 2 hits tonight

although he had a poor nite on the bases

Hooters anyone?

by Chone's Chonies on Aug 25, 2008 9:32 PM PDT up 0 recs

Had he not messed up on the bases

We’d have a 1-0 game in the 1st.

isn't it funny

that Gary went from panther nomination to blame of the game nomination in just over 24 hours.

by UCIHalo on Aug 25, 2008 9:32 PM PDT 0 recs

not funny

pathetic.

If only he'd played last night's game tonight

I think he’d have it all sewn up.

by TheTypingFiend on Aug 25, 2008 9:46 PM PDT up 0 recs

Yeah, Figgy or GMJ

GMJ sucks, and Figgy had some bonehead base running errors

err, uh…I mean GMJ

by Caseys Kiss of Death on Aug 25, 2008 9:32 PM PDT 0 recs

I'd say Figgy

getting thrown out twice in a system that needs baserunners is simply unacceptable.

Ugh…

by shiftyeyedgoat on Aug 25, 2008 9:35 PM PDT 0 recs

Especially if your supposed to be the On Base Man

is spot on!

Francisco Rodriguez: 196 career saves. 3 career Panthers, 1/3 as awesome as GMJ.

GMJ

Positives Today in AAA

Morales 2-4 with a Double, Run, RBI, IBB
Wood 2-4 with a HR

Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by acuda27 on Aug 25, 2008 9:46 PM PDT 0 recs

Wood actually went 3-4

so that should make you even happier

Rivera

it’s too late in the season to be batting .241

Tell that to our catchers

he's been playing half the season

give the guy a break.

ah just give it to torii

he has been so boring lately

by UCIHalo on Aug 25, 2008 9:55 PM PDT 0 recs

Torii who...?

is there someone on our team named Torii?

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

by K3YEROUT on Aug 26, 2008 11:49 AM PDT up 0 recs

Really nobody....

Except the offense. I guess I’d have to give it to Figgy for 2 baserunning errors.

On the plus side, Just Insipid pitched well, and so did Bulger.

Scoscia

GMJ and Quinlan in the same lineup and neither is hitting 9th?

by Quinlan's Goofy Swing on Aug 25, 2008 10:28 PM PDT 0 recs

Agreed

And Vlad NOT in the lineup. I know we’re not supposed to give it to the skipper, but c’mon! And all this after the main page posted an article saying “Angels not looking past A’s.” Why the suck-ass line up then?

by Rally Manatee on Aug 25, 2008 10:47 PM PDT up 0 recs

Give it to whoever put GMJ and Q in the lineup.

They have so much better options than either of them. S-Rod, Wood, Willits, Morales all have much much much higher upside than Q or GMJ and need abs.

by MH252525 on Aug 25, 2008 10:29 PM PDT 0 recs

I thought K Mo got sent back down to bring up The Big Bulge.

by Rally Manatee on Aug 25, 2008 10:48 PM PDT up 0 recs

he did

but Wood is down in AAA too… i think his point is that our young guys would benefit a lot more from playing time than our crappy guys.

GMJ

He cant let that ball get past him in the OF, Fatty doesnt get to third and Weavers wild thing impression is irrelevant

Relax... Everything is fine

by Sinatrasratpack on Aug 25, 2008 10:54 PM PDT 0 recs

i blame figgy

gmj didn’t do anything out of the ordinary. he actually got one hit.

E-5 in my book...

you can call it a hit if it makes you sleep better at night…apparently it works for the official scorer!

by K3YEROUT on Aug 26, 2008 11:50 AM PDT up 0 recs

Figgy

GMJ gets a pass because he’s always this terrible and we have to learn to deal with that. Also, he shouldda been pather day before yesterday. The baserunning was terrible. I don’t care if he got two hits, Figgy- BOTG.

She's a man-man, baby...
