Close to Qlinch: Quinlan leads Angels over Yankees 4-2

Picpic_tiny by Rev Halofan on in Postgame Threads

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.

Panther of the Game: Robb Quinlan

With an honorable mention to Moseley

I was the one that was complaining about him starting, and the crow is tasting great.

Is this the TEX/SEA game thread too?

Moseley was money today. Take away the silly balk and that line looks really damn good.

LET’S GO MARINERS! (ugh)

I actually want TX to win today and tomorrow...

so I can watch the clinch Friday night in Anaheim.

Selfish!

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.

I share in your selfishness.

I’ll be there Friday too.

Question...

Anyone think there’s significance to K-Rod’s jersey number being the same number as the single-season saves record (57) ???

by Los Angeles de Anaheim on Sep 10, 2008 3:51 PM PDT   0 recs

I think I remember reading...

that it was pure coincidence that it came out that way

anti-hybrid?

Really, or just touting that their vehicles are just as efficient?

by jjackflash on Sep 10, 2008 3:54 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

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.

by infant on Sep 10, 2008 3:54 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

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.

by jjackflash on Sep 10, 2008 3:56 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

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.

For me it's not just about mpg

I’m more concerned with emissions and getting off the oil for good.

Depends on the battery

NiCd, yes, NiMh, not so much. Even LiIon isn’t too bad AFAIK.

that the leadoff hitter for Texas is the catcher, Gerald Lard?

Contact Play

doesn’t work for Seattle. Runner out @ home. 2 outs, bases loaded for M. Tuaiasosopo. Doesn’t he play football?

If Gameday is halfway accurate

the first pitch was in the RH batter’s box.
