Angels Marooned in Mariner Romp

PrintFinal Score in Los Angeles of Anaheim: Seattle 8, Angels 3
The Angels' luck with AAA starting pitchers keeping them in games ran out in a big way Friday night against the suprising (but don't get your hopes up) Seattle Mariners. Erik Bedard looked like a pitcher you would give up five players for and Shane Loux looked like he was 8th on a team's starting rotation depth, and so the game played out exactly as the natural order of things determined it should.
There was a time that the game was close, but the Angels could not muster any hits. Once the inning of pain came upon the House of Moreno though, the men in red did manage to put a few runs across as the hometown camera crew made the broadcast an infomercial about bringing the family out to the ballpark, focusing more on ice cream sandwiches than on pitching prospects up from Salt Lake. Of course, Angels pitching is nowhere near as sweet as ballpark munchies these days, so, hey, the marketing department is obviously emphasizing the positives about this Angels squad.
Bedard went 6.2 Innings and gave up 2 Earned Runs on 5 Hits. Loux looked about ready to cruise until a 5th inning saw some lucky hits open the floodgates as 10 Mariners came to the plate and 6 returned around the bases.

I started writing it in the 8th inning
Missus Halofan gets irked – when we are winning she says I am jinxing them and when we are losing she tells me I am the OBIT man – most obituaries on people are written for famous people LONG before they die.

Wow
Halos Heaven was BLANKED – and by OUR OWN TEAM. Oh well. Could be worse, at least nobody got a point for that last category – that would be depressing.
Let's do this for Nick Adenhart, Courtney Stewart, and Henry Pearson.
As much as I wanna tag Figgy with BOTG,
gotta go with Loux.
Still, when the f is Figgy gonna set the table?
throwin bolos
R U kidding me? Loux for BOTG?
With the lousy umpiring and bloopshit that the M’s hit? Not Loux’s fault!
Figgins is horrible right now!
Miss you Nick...! RIP
Sorry.......people (not me) wanna give Panthers to pitchers who give up 4 runs in 6 innings here......
so…..giving up 7 runs in 4 innings is worse…..so that’s why I voted for him

no one is ever going to be happy
and someone is always going to cry about it until I change their fucking diaper so here goes
LAST SEASON FOLKS BITCHED WHEN I PICKED ’EM
THEN I LET FANGRAPHS PICK ’EM AND PEOPLE STILL BITCHED
NOW I LET EVERYONE VOTE AND SOMEONE STILL WANTS TO SPEND ALL HIS TIME HERE WHINING THAT THE WORLD DOES NOT SEE IT THE SAME WAY AS HE, MISTER BASEBALL PERFECT.
Stirrups had a hard-on for Frankie last year, you want to make out with Figgy in the corner this year, go right ahead, spend all your time here whining about the imperfections of a casual, in-the-moment improvisational vote, all your time, please, bitch and piss and moan and whine away with your rationalizations about why everyone doesn’t see things the way that you Mister Perfect sees them.

Hey, good point!
30 year old AA ball pitchers who give up four whole earned runs in 6+ innings, earning a major league victory for a struggling team are just doing their job, man. Palmer gets paid thousands of dollars, after all. Too bad Figgins missed two easy opportunities to help the Angels bump their lead and make Palmer’s mediocre performance look even more mediocre in comparasion.
What’s that you say? Bitter? Me?
Let's do this for Nick Adenhart, Courtney Stewart, and Henry Pearson.
Figgy is not blameless at all.....
But someone had to take my vote or wrath……and the coin flip went to Loux

OF was, yes, still bitter about the loss. But as it goes, it is a new day :-)
Let's do this for Nick Adenhart, Courtney Stewart, and Henry Pearson.

I just hate how often I'm saying that these days.
But that’s okay. We still got this.

Does anyone else hate that we don't get any coverage on Sports Center
even when they show the highlights from our games, all they showed was seattle stuff, not even Naps HR or anything
The thing covering our team right now....
is a whole lot of ICY HOT…….

I'm glad about it
We’re not that good right now, and with SportsCenter running the same stats all day – I only want to see the menagerie once. So until we’re the team kicking tail on everyone else, please ESPN don’t run the coverage.
How about the middle of the lineup that is supposed to produce?
Abreu and Hunter did’nt do shit tonight to help the team let alone Loux.
The baseball Gods were shinning on the mariners today
never seen a team to lucky
#34 Nick Adenhart always an Angel
I assume you watched the 2008 Angels?
I was at Shea for the Felix-Slam!
Personal M's record: 5-4.

Question about the pre game poll
I don’t know if this is the right venue for this but I noticed that my results were highlighted in red. I thought that was for people that didn’t post their answers in the comment section as well as on the form?
Nick Adenhart RIP - Always an Angel
Good - Bad - Ugly
Have to find the silver lining….
The Good: Thompson and Rodriguez threw the ball well; Shields lowered his ERA to 12.7 (gulp); Napoli had a good night at the plate; the defense made no errors; the team left only 4 runners on base
The Bad: Loux proved again that he is not a MLB caliber pitcher: ERA of 6.61 and WHIP of nearly 2; our DH is now hitting above .100 after a stellar 1-3 night; the team managed a paltry 6 base hits
The Ugly: Seattle got 17 hits against Halo pitching; the top 5 in the batting order went a combined 0-20; our lead off hitter is batting a sizzling .230 and has an OBP of .356 and a SLG percentage of .262
yeah, mustard...good points and well-written
sadly, I’m finding myself apathetic already about this season
NA, #34 SP, LAA
Light up the Halo for Nick!
Dear Mike
If the team isn’t going to win — and it’s not — at least give us the satisfaction of watching Brandon Wood find himself at the major league level.
Witty .sig goes here.
Sure hope you and others are ready to eat crow...
I am down right now, but am far from mailing in this season, Wood or no Wood.
In a year of such turmoil, whining still abounds.
