Napoli IS the power bat in 2009. Watch.
Dustin not doing particularly well here...
Plugging the upside since 2006.
Never give up, never surrender!
Atleast it's against a good pitcher. Against Lincecum, I can deal with it. It's when we do this
against Miguel Batista that I get erked.

About par for Moseley...a couple of scratch runs through 3 innings.
Benjie Molina in the middle of both scoring innings…
It seems like Bengi always kicks our ass.

...First. Pitch. DP. For future reference, Bourjos, doing that means you get fired. >_<

OK, Merkin Valdez in. Let's do something this time through the order, OK guys?

Time for Angels player to kick it up a notch.
Recipient of the 2008 "The Iron Man" award from scottnak of Halos Heaven!
Now here's a familiar face and a guy we let go at exactly the right time.
Sure enough, first basehit of the game. Nail him, Naps.

No-no No-mo...
thanks KMo! :)
There are three things in my life which I really love: God, my family, and baseball. The only problem - once baseball season starts, I change the order around a bit. -- Al Gallagher
Kendrick nails Ortiz in the leg and gets a basehit, nice.
Let’s go Chris.

On the board on the hit & run, 2-1 with HK at 2nd and 2 out.

Thanks Ortiz!

TIE GAME! Nice hit by Bourjos to make up for last time.

Hilariously, allowing just 2 runs in this inning would STILL lower Ortiz' spring ERA
from what it was coming in to the game.
Plugging the upside since 2006.

Nuts, no more runs, but we tied it up off Ortiz.

Rivera down on K's for the second time today. Gotta pick it up, Juan.

Kendry stayin' hot. Time for a Power Nap!

Adios Ortiz!
you can pitch AGAINST us anytime!

His september still has me in awe.
If he could be like, half that awesome over a full season, he’d still be the second best hitter on the team.

Honestly, I take Naps over Rivera at DH if it comes to that. Get him in the games, Mike.

For those of you who may be wondering,
the reason no one is saying anything is that nothing is happening.
~Till the Halo burns out...
And as soon as you say this, they get a 2 out triple. :P

Rex Hudler has a book, apparently. I did not know this.
Plugging the upside since 2006.

Nice of you guys, especially since I know a number of people don't like him.
Personally I think he’s hilarious, but that’s just me.

I will be right there with you crying the day Hud leaves the Angels broadcast team.

Man I'd forgotten about Bulger.
Our bullpen has like a jillion good pitchers.
~Till the Halo burns out...
Yeah, the ONLY problem I have is the choice of closer, the pen itself is rock solid.
Honestly, that’s really a good description of the team: Solid.

He's out of it, but man. 1 strike away and he gives it all up. Yikes. There's always our half, but
he can’t have helped his chances right there.
Plugging the upside since 2006.

He's got the rest of spring training to pull it out.
But that 16 ERA = yikes.

Angels youngsters: Who needs THREE atbats? :P
Plugging the upside since 2006.
Never give up, never surrender!
Did I say 3 AB's or 3 pitches??? ;)
Yeah, they are really stressing patience at the plate! 3 pitches, inning over! Gotta take the good with the bad when Mickey Hacker is involved. Anybody wish to complain about being overly agressive today?

Other than getting exposed by Tim Lincecum, I don't have many complaints. And I'm
still more inclined to credit Lincecum than blame our guys.

Reminds me of 1986 ALCS Game 5 … hit batsman followed by a lead-changing 2-run HR.

I h’aint seen sumthin like that in a ’coon’s age!
by Downing Rules on Mar 6, 2009 2:34 PM PST up reply actions
Phys: Well, Coon doesn't have a lot of power but he's good bunter
Coon: F### that.
~Till the Halo burns out...
HOLY CHIT!
The time is out of joint; oh cursed spite, that ever I was born to set it right.

Light it up walk off off homer

I'm gonna drop the hammer, and dispense some indiscriminate justice!

looks like coon is gonna get cut..
..everybody knows if you wanna make the major league squad, you have to get the walk-off single, not the walk-off HR..
"Here we go baby, 'bout f***'n' time!"
Adam Riggs would like a word with you about that one...
unless you are quoting some movie and I am simply forgetting which one …
by Downing Rules on Mar 6, 2009 5:05 PM PST up reply actions
no, no movie
i was just referring to the fact that HR’s are hard to come by in an angel’s uniform. i mean, we definitely see more walk off singles than HR’s..
"Here we go baby, 'bout f***'n' time!"
Gotcha. I just remember Adam Riggs for some stupid reason in this game HERE losing my lungs screaming so loud because the Halos had just beaten the Yankees with a nobody by the name of Adam Riggs via a walk-off.
by Downing Rules on Mar 6, 2009 5:10 PM PST up reply actions
I was at that game
We had a hotel near the stadium. The next morning we left for Vegas. Sportsbook teevees were replaying that highlight (The highlight was on the Yankees losing, Riggs’ single rolling past an already jogging-in Gary Sheffield)….
