Angels Rebound on Kendry Morales 2 HR Game

Final Score in Seattle: Angels 10, Mariners 6

Turning the page on a sweep in Texas quickly, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim turned their current ten-game road trip around like a gang of bruised bikers discovering an isolated bikini beach. The Angels tore thru the Mariner bikini patch by a score of 10-6 and it really wasn't that close as the girls from Seattle went helplessly shrieking from Angel bats bouncing back from their Texas heatstroke.

Kendry Morales led the way with 2 homeruns. With a Cuban accent thicker than flan, Morales told postgame interviewer Jose Mota that he did not mind bating lower in the order, that he respects the manager's decision either way and that he has been taking early batting practice. Torii Hunter, who is a way better interview, had a bases loaded double that gave the Angels the lead for good. He also made a few amazing catches in the game - one in the Left-Center gap, running, in particular saved two runs as a shaky Jose Arredondo looked around for help from the pitchers mound, wondering what happened to all those idiot fans who thought he should be anointed closer before the season began.

The Angels belted out seven extra base hits - four doubles and three homeruns - a seeming first for this team that seemed to be just a bunch of single-hitting ninnies only yesterday. The iffy pitching continued, with Leader of the Pack John Lackey having little bite to his once legendary curveball.

Torii

That catch on the sinking line drive in he eighth was HUGE.

For a moment it looked like another long night for the pen- Torii made it all better.

“He clearly missed third…”

Uh, the ONLY camera angle that captured it was not even remotely clear.

Sorry I don't live up to your standards. You will never have to worry about me misspelling anything on your board again.

And I hope Scottnak didn’t think I was being critical of him. I appreciate what he does. I was just doing what he told us to do if we had a problem with our picks. I did post my picks in the comments and now they are not there. Don’t know why. It’s not my website. As far as waiting 5 minuets, I did, but my picks didn’t show up. Usually I don’t have to wait at all. But I really don’t give a damn. I have much bigger things to worry about than this stupid contest or anything that goes on on this board. You all have a nice life.

I am a fair weather fan so the Angels better win!

they aren't Rev's standards so much as they are

standards set by the EDUCATION SYSTEM…

There is no need to get your panties in a bind. Just fix the problem and don’t call out anyone that is trying to figure it out for you. Well at least you are sticking to you’re signature….

I’m the “self proclaimed good guy” trying to help you figure out what you did wrong since I had 30 seconds to figure it out…evidently, the fact that I took my time to help you was construed as my being an “ass.” You are a classy fellow.

I'm not really a fan of the recaps these days...

just my opinion of course. Calling fellow fans idiots? What is that about? Bikini/biker scenario ramblings? What? How about some actual results like about how Lackey did other than personal opinion-based snide remarks that obviously HAVE to be made.

Whatever, ups to the Cuban brother. Light-tower power today. Keeping ahead of Tex. Go get ’em tomorrow.

CNNSI and ESPN have nice plain ole boring recaps of the game if you want.......

why not read those instead….no one forces you to read the recap here.

Leave him alone

Sounds like an Angel fan. If you send him to one of those sites, it will seem like cruel and unusual punishment, only to read up on the East coast bias, or NFL. All for only stating his opinion on one of the Rev’s most spectacular post game write ups.

The Rev recaps the games the way he sees fit

if you don’t like it don’t read it.

I can handle the criticism

The goal here is to be reporting as a fan not as a calculator. I write two game recaps this season that were like what anyone could read anywhere and I was like “…well this is not any fun anymore…” so I write to have fun and publish to entertain intelligent people in touch with their inner-9-year-old-Angel-fan-heart.

by Rev Halofan on May 18, 2009 11:27 PM PDT up reply actions   1 recs

I respect your retort here.

Just saying. If the idiot Angel fans bit weren’t in there, I would not have said anything. Usually I just read and move on.

It's the qualification for being an idiot.

If being one of the fans that originally wanted Arredondo to get the closer spot after Frankie said adios then sign me up for the next Michael Bay movie, cause I’m an idiot.

Bruised Bikers = Bad (agree with you)

Bikini Beaches = Good (disagree with you)

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

Yes, in fact they do. I thought of that after I posted my comment.
