BoTG: Moseley

Angels fan since '67

fantastic image

but Moseley gets BOTG.
he started that crap, and gave us absolutely NO chance to win this game

Mike Scioscia: He provides to unlike method of your team member.

AGREED

Oliver shouldn’t have been used in that blowout. You think maybe being called in so damn early contributed to his sucktitude?

Witty .sig goes here.

by scareduck on Sep 5, 2008 8:11 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

actually I blame the fact that he threw fastballs about 90% of his pitches........

and started everyone off with sliders………and then a steady diet of fastballs.

LOL for like 5 minutes

F**k a Duck, Classic. I like Mosley for BOTG less than Two inn, 6 runs

"What's our vector, Victor? Roger Roger, over, Over huh?

Insert my BOTG GMJ

Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rev -

considering the game and the image, i think the title should be “RAPED”

doesn't change the abuse we were just slammed with

that’s just the mild silver lining.

my 2 cents

I think this game should be a lesson to the people here who were calling for weaver to be used in trade during the season. Let Moseley’s blow up and skyrocketing ERA be a testament to that.

And I don’t think that Oliver should get the blame, it should either be Moseley or Sosh (for him taking out almost half of the regulars in the 7th). But since we don’t blame the coaching staff, I give it Moseley.

i pledge alliegance... to mike Scioscia
and the angels way of baseball
and to each pennant and ring we are sure to win.

one might even argue for the re-signing of Judy after that debacle!

Whodathunk we would be rooting for a former Ranger come August...?

My goodness Moseley sucks

He had a 9.xx ERA in AAA in August… He didn’t do much better here.

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)

Yeah but he's got piercing blue eyes!

The Scottish barmaid fancies Moseley over EVEN Mayhem? Will wonders never cease?

Don't call me Desmond

by highlandhalo on Sep 6, 2008 2:01 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I don't know who gives me a more bitter taste in my mouth....Moseley...?, Bosux? or Willits (aka fungo bat) in a clutch situation?

hmmm….. =/ that’s a tough one! But seriously though,…tonight BOTG = Moseley x 1000

If I hear the word "red sox"...POW!!! RIGHT IN THE KISSER!!!

BOTG: Moseley

Teixeira’s blinding star was’nt shining so bright tonight either.

by 44FAN on Sep 5, 2008 9:52 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

I'm sorry, what?

Oliver gives up fewer runs in more innings, and only did it AFTER we got buried by Moseley’s crappy start, and he gets the blame anyway?

Definitely on Moseley.

by Caseys Kiss of Death on Sep 5, 2008 10:01 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Wow.

I just realized that without descent starting pitching, we ain’t shit.

Moseley’s new nickname is LYNCHPIN.

Let no joyful voice be heard! Let no man look up at the sky with hope! And let this day be cursed by we who ready to wake... the K-Rod!

"Without decent starting pitching, we ain't shit."

Really? I think that makes us exactly like 29 other major league teams.

by Caseys Kiss of Death on Sep 6, 2008 12:28 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Really?

You forget that unlike these 29 other teams we have a very inconsistent offense. So if you don’t bring good pitching you need to rely on? That’s the key IMHO, how reliable is your offense?

How you gonna go against teams like the Rays and WSox who have a more consistent helping of both? I’ll take moderate consistency over sporadic volatility any day.

Honestly though, I would love you to talk me down of the ledge.

the rays are a lot like us actually. theyve scored 6 more runs on the entire y ear

and they definitely dont have a mark teixeira or vlad guerrero in their lineup

by ihearhowie2.0 on Sep 6, 2008 9:20 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Evan Longoria says hi...

Pena is a solid OBP guy – not the average of Teix, but all the power and walks with plus, plus defense too.

Crawford, Upton, Pena, Longoria, Crawford and others – they are fine offensively.

by jimmuscomp on Sep 6, 2008 9:54 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

You doubled up on your helping of Crawford there

He of the 91 OPS+. He’s a leadoff hitter with a .319 OBP. Garret Anderson is probably laughing at that number right now. He’s talented as hell, but he’s yet to put together anything.

And Longoria certainly has huge years in his future, but right now he’s not on the same level as Teixeira. His OPS is almost 100 points lower, and he still really needs to cut down on the Ks.

Broken clock.Twice a day. Etc., etc.

But it does look sweet….

Francisco Rodriguez: 200 career saves. 4 career Panthers, almost 1/2 as awesome as GMJ.

All I can say is that if that had been a home game and I had bought tickets...

I would have left when I saw the lineups and demanded my money back!

BOTG needs to be changed to Moseley…he had major suckage and never should have been called up…

by K3YEROUT on Sep 5, 2008 10:46 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

BOTG should have been that damn staple that stuck Weaver's hand

or that foul area grass that turned the ball fair, thus leading to Moseley’s demise.

That hack Moseley should never start another game again

You ever feel as if your mind had started to erode?

by PieceOfAase on Sep 5, 2008 10:52 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

do you guys think Sosh learned that GMJ/Quinlan are NOT the answer

and Thursday’s performances were the product of HORRIBLE pitching?

….or do we suffer another crappy lineup tomorrow?

I am getting mulitple posts before I even finish typing.

Oh, well.

The dog needs to chill. Leave the duck alone.

Q is hitting .280 plus. Give me a break. As a backup it is hard to find better. Q haters are delusional. Quit dissing Q.

Angels rule. We’re going to beat up on chi town tomorrow.

Moseley- BOTG

Throw some cold water on that dog.

Howie Kendrick, the Eric Davis of 2nd basemen...great when he's on the field, IF he's on the field...

by hk47 on Sep 6, 2008 7:55 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Moseley...

Moseley has been terrible at AAA Salt Lake this season…and he’d been awful with the Angels before yesterday’s start…so why on earth does Soth start the guy in a spot-start situation yesterday with home field advantage on the line?? You got me…

And further, how is Jason Bulger not with this team right now? Yet Darren O’Day and Dustin Moseley are?

AAA Playoffs

they didn’t want to completely empty the team. Bulger’s the closer there. He’ll be back up when the AAA playoffs are done.

Or immediately, and look like an All-Star against the White Sox tonight...
