Choak, No Joak: Angels Lose to Oakland

by Rev Halofan on Mar 9, 2009 3:39 PM PDT in Angels Postgame

Cactus League Final: Oakland A's 5, L.A. Angels 4

A group of no-name Angel minor league relievers coughed up a close game late to the Oakland Athletics in Arizona Spring Training action Monday afternoon.

THE GOOD: Chone Figgins 2 for 3 with a Ribby ... or "Good Pinstripe Audition" as we call it,

THE BAD: Erick Aybar. A throwing error in the 2nd inning leads to an unearned run for Joe Saunders - the secret recipe gloves have to show up when pitch-to-contact Colonel Saunders is onthe mound.

THE UGLY: Bobby Crosby 4 LOB ... looks like the Yankees are not the only ones desperate for a 3Bman...

The Angels are now 9-2 in Cactus League action...

Major suckage.

So I’m watching Mexico vs. S. Africa and getting my Jose “right now” Mota fix for the day.

Losing to choakland always sucks

I’m sure there are Fremont/Richmond/Vallejo fans starting celebratory tire fires tonight.

Yeah, because when I think of a beautiful city, in a pristine environment, the first that springs to mind…is Oakland. Tell me again about the rule regarding the drinking water, “if its black, throw it back, if its brown, drink it down”.

well actually

Oakland’s water is rated the highest in the state, fremont not far behind. Oakland is also the 1st in the country in the use of renewable energy. And where do you think your water comes from?

great answer.

You got me

Best water in the state, you lead the country in renewable energy, Oakland is still a dump. You know it, and I know it. Oakland is like Compton, minus the culture, with a bigger skyline.
