I'd love to give it to GA
But Voodoo was just too much of a witch out there against a very potent lineup. His stuff was filthy!

Lots of choices
Voodoo, Hunter, GA, and Frankie.
I’m gonna give Frankie the love this time.

Santana
Although GA and that incredible catch I’m hearing about are both close.
Frankie rules.
Angel Pitching, Angel Defense - get past that.

i was picking up my lady at the airport
We got back to my place, she was tipsy (she had a few on the plane), I turned on the game while we ate In-N-Out. She had bought me a rad GA jersey last year for my b-day, and so she slurred, “Whhhy donyou put on your jerrrsey? And I’m thinking, "You don’t wear your gear to watch the game on TV unless it’s the playoffs.”
But not wanting to explain wardrobe etiquette, I walked to the closet. Just as I touched the jersey, I hear the crack of GA’s bat and turned to see it fly out.
I will wear my jersey to watch games on TV from now on.

LAYE WORD TONIGHT
FOX/ Ken Rosenthal is saying the Angels are negotiating with the Blue Jays to acquire Davis Eckstein before the Sunday deadline. Angels feel he would suit their need for a 2B/SS and would be welcomed back by Angels fans with open arms. Jays are reluctant to trade for their other two guys which leaves Eck.

Also..
On the Sports Lodge this morning, Dave Smith said that the night before he had talked to Tony Reagins. He asked Reagins to come on the show, but Tony said he would be too busy to call in as that he would be on the phones all weekend. this definitely says something. Bye the way, if Eck were to come back, I’d be the first to buy his jersey. Love that guy.

I think he will.

He'd have to move up to 26 then...

Santana
he was dominant against a fantastic offense, and every time someone DID reach, he buckled down and went to work, getting the pop-ups and strikeouts when he needed them most.

I think the real headline is
“Matt Stairs still playing baseball”
sub-headline:
“Gets traded to Phillies.”

GA for the win
My curse on the angels: I have been to 3 of his 5 blown saves, I was at the no-hitter for weaver, and I was there when Maicer had a season ending injury.

Tough call....
Santana held a tough offensive team to 1 run in 8 innings.
Old Man River hit a clutch home run.
Torii made a highlight reel catch…I’mnot sure if it would have left the park, but it would have got the Rangers back in the game.
K-Rod..what can you say? He had to face 3 tough left-handed hitters (Hamilton, Bradley, Blalock) He struck out Hamilton and Bradley (did you see Bradley hopping around after the strikeout ’cause he was so badly fooled?), and got a ground out from Blalock.
I think I give it to K-Rod. He made it look way too easy tonight.

Hula Dula
That’s my gut feeling, having just returned from the Big A.
He scaled that wall like an arachnid and STOLE that tie away.
Second place tie for the kitty: Voodoo Bubblegum and Thee Olde Man.
This was an especially fun night for me, because I brought a buddy to the game who hasn’t been to a ballgame since he was ten. And if someone had said to me “you can have your pick of pitchers – who do you want to be on the bubble for your friend tonight?” It would not doubt have been Santana. And he delivered just like I said he would. And then at the top of the ninth I got to say to him “you are about to see the best closer in baseball.” And I was right.
Awesome night.

By the way
I am so tossed right now – I did not mean to nominate GA for second place Panther. I of course meant Juan.

HDTV slow-motion replay
suggests to me that Torii’s catch, while phenomenal, did not take away a home run. Looked like it was heading for the top of the wall.

I got to find out how dumb they are today first hand
a few good’uns over there, but I’m shocked those guys could recognize the keys on their keyboard well enough to register their disdain with our presence there.
They’d probably just grunt and pound their chest, and throw their remote through the T.V. They probably also really, really hate Geico.

They gave you a much worse time than me.
They are the definition of dumb. Once they run out of “talking points,” they scurry away like roaches. When you speak the truth to them they just cover their ears and hide their faces.

I have no idea really. I don't remember anything specifically.
Someone over there said he posted a gif of Hitler eating watermelon on veteran’s day. But back when this supposedly happened pictures were not allowed anyway.

Panther=Ervin
Great perfomances by Lazy, the Frankster, and torii, but 1 ER through 8 innings is pretty damn panther especially against the rangers.
Exceeding expectations is less a matter of luck than possession of certain assets.
by anaheim angels on Aug 30, 2008 12:10 AM PDT reply actions 0 recs
That is the deciding factor
That he pitched 8 lights out innings agai8nst a dominant offense, Ervin gets the Panther on a very PANTERO-ESQUE night!

Great game. One of my favorites I’ve attended thus far (coming up on 30 games).
