Close to Qlinch: Quinlan leads Angels over Yankees 4-2
Robb Quinlan singled with the bases loaded in the 5th inning and cashed in 3 runs off of New York Yankees starter Andy Pettite to lead the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim to a coronation ceremony away from the American League Western Division crown. Angels closer Francisco Rodriguez became only the 2nd player in history to record 56 saves in a season. The victory went to Angels spot starter Dustin Moseley, called into duty because of small cuts to the fingertips of Angel starter Jered Weaver.
Moseley was runner-up for hero of the game, as he bounced back from a rough 1st inning where he gave up 2 runs on 1 hit - he balked one of the runs in. He went on to hold the Yankees to just 2 more hits over the next 4 frames and a series of Angel relievers held the Bronx Bombers at bay in their final appearance outside of the Eastern time-zone for the 2008 season.

With an honorable mention to Moseley
I was the one that was complaining about him starting, and the crow is tasting great.

jk. I ended up going to 3 in a row last season to be there when they clinched. Or maybe it was 2 in a row. I just remember not planning on being there the day they clinched, but couldn’t NOT go back after not getting to see them celebrate when I was there the day before.

I didn't get to see in person '79, '82, '86 or '05...
but I did see ‘04 and ’07. If it’s going to happen, I’d like it to be on the Angels terms not on the result of Texas losing. Less dramatic.

Those Ford anti-hybrid commercials
are a little silly
Hey you! What are horse mackerel!
Hey, the chair are sailing! You believe that I am toad of the month!
(Yes, that is K-Rod's entry music, translated)
Not really anti
More like… You save money if you buy our vehicle, they’re both very clean, and then go on to compare highway MPG between the two.
Hey you! What are horse mackerel!
Hey, the chair are sailing! You believe that I am toad of the month!
(Yes, that is K-Rod's entry music, translated)
Not that Silly
Hybrids pose their own environmental problems: disposal of the batteries. If you can get the same mileage without the problem of the battery, that’s a good selling point.
I agree
but comparing highway mileage… is kinda cheap. It’s the non highway mpg where a proper hybrid excels.
Hey, I don’t drive a hybrid myself. If I was convinced it was much better/cleaner, I would. But I’m not.

Dutch Gangstas?
It sounds like they’re trying to say “basterball” in…Dutch?
IThe onlt thing I understood were the F-bombs.
So, what does “Watskebeurt” translate to?
The caller started off saying "blah blah blah...let me tell you something..."
And Terry cut in and said “Before YOU tell ME something, let ME tell YOU something…”.
And then they argued whether Pavkovich had played a game at SS this season. The caller wanted the Angels to bring him up to back up BW because “he doesn’t have anyone backing him up”.
Then Terry got aggravted, hung up and said “Next time you call the show get your facts straight” in a eff you kinda tone.
