Physioc

Shut the fudd up. This gasbag yammers on and on and for what – to fill the relaxing nature of the game.

I wish Arte would watch the games with Physico announcing and not be allowed to leave the room – he would fire MIster Local-Yokel-Yammer before the 7th inning stretch.

Could this home stretch (schedule against CRAPPY division) work against us???

Angels clinch early:
POSITIVE: rest and recoup for the “banged up”.
NEGATIVE: Angels notoriously cannot hit pitchers they’ve never seen (No pennant chase = bring up the AAAers) = potential hitting Funk going into playoffs.

that’s another reason why I think Speier is jumping up the ladder (or more appropriately) Bulger has dropped a rung or two.

Once again, though, there is a lot of junk games left for these guys to determine who goes and who stays home. Good luck choosing, Scioscia and good luck to the great guys involved.
