Around SBN: Fighters React to Nick Diaz's Positive Drug Test

Ortega to start Saturday

Snippet from the bottom of the "Shields = FAIL" article, er I mean "Angels Bid a Farewell to Nick" article by DiGiovanna.  Interesting since Ortega has been horrible  this season up to now...scraping the bottom of the 40 man apparently! 

Hopefully the team's (and mine) last wet eye moment on Thursday morning!

Rotation addition

Right-hander Anthony Ortega, who is 1-1 with a 9.88 ERA in three games at triple-A Salt Lake, is expected to be called up to start Saturday night's game against Seattle, though Scioscia said an official announcement won't come until today.

Hopefully, we get "lucky" again...

Palmer had a pretty nasty AAA ERA coming into yesterday’s game. Hopefully ¡SI ORTEGA! can pick up where Palmer left off!

In a year of such turmoil, whining still abounds.

Yeah.

The Tigers weren’t really comfortable seeing a new pitcher. Let’s hope the Mariners freeze up the same way.

Let's do this for Nick Adenhart, Courtney Stewart, and Henry Pearson.

Dont let two games at SLC deter his ability….

Miss you Nick...! RIP

He makes decent salsa too...

I got a fever and the only prescription is... more Kowbell!

Ready-made nicname

This bullpen collapses faster than the Austro-Hungarian Empire

I say Anaheim pepper or Anaheim chile

because that’s the kind of chile pepper Ortega uses most (the company, not the pitcher).

In memoriam Nick Adenhart

looks like Chopper is going down to make room for Ortega

Sorry Ash, at least he didn’t do too bad when he was up here. Hopefully he’ll be back up soon!

Go Big "O" !

Angel Pitching (Adenhart), Angel Defense - get past that.

His first warmup pitch prior to inning 1 ...

was a ball that hit the ground, went under Naps’ legs and glove and through to the backstop. Bad omen?

In a year of such turmoil, whining still abounds.
