Shielded

Panther of the Game: Torii Hunter

Win-saunders_medium

I prepared this WIN pic in Juy and the bullpen has been blowing the Saunders starts when he has not been sucking and tonight, Joe was SHIELDED again, but I am going to unleash the Colonel anyway on a night when T-Shortage gets the win that should be Joe's, Torii and Arredondo can fight for the Panther and Francisco Rodriguez becomes only the 4th man in baseball history to record a 54th save in a season, sole possession of 4th Place on the all-time Single Season Saves list.

The game was a hot potato, frankly, one that each team tossed back and forth an umpteen number of times in the hopes of cooling down something that was too overheated too handle - along with some balls that dropped into bizarre Bermuda (grass) triangles, screaming liners licking chalk and terrible bounces of infield luck no human could be expected to handle, let alone precisely juggle toward the correct teammate.

It was not a cheapy, but it was a sloppy Joe sundae and Saunders, still stuck at 14 wins, waits for his 2008 Quinceañera for yet another four games...

I made a fool of myself here in my cubicle...

trying to get those words mashed into the MC Hammer tune out loud…it doesn’t work, 10 syllables for “Hula Dula, the Domino Rula” to 8 syllables for “2 legit, 2 legit to quit.”

I know South is "Great Places, Smiling Faces..."

but what the heck is north? “Home of Darin Erstad?” Sounds like a decent motto to me.

not sure...

“home of roger marris.”
“home of travis hafner.”
“home of the western meadowlark.”

Torii Hunter POTG

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.
I am one LUCKY fan

At 26 years, 8 months old, Francisco Rodriguez also becomes the youngest player ever to reach 200 saves.

He’s officially passed Joe Nathan, and is one short of Bobby Thigpen’s career total, good for 38th all-time.

That said, Torii for Panther.

Hula Dula always gets it done after some rest

Today was no exception!

Lucky Number 7

is the Angels’ magic number. With TB’s loss to the Spankees, the Halos also find themselves only one game behind TB for best record. Does anyone know what the tiebreaker is? If it’s head-to-head, then I guess they’re actually two games behind.

Tip of the cap to Joe...

Who got a QUALITY START (albeit one of the uglier ones we’ve seen all year); nice to see him rebound and hang on for the quality start to keep the halos in the game.

Although, the POTG definitely is Torii Hunter. A close 2nd in my book is Frankie who reached the 200 milestone. Congrats.
