PrintTonight (7:10 PM), Ervin Santana faces Chris Jakubaskaus in Seattle
Here is something to look out for in the game tonight: Ervin Santana has 585 career strikeouts. He ranks 18th in franchise history. Kelvim Escobar is #20 with 561 Ks (hopefully he will be moving up the list later this season). Clyde Wright ranks #19 with 571 whiffs.
Ramon Ortiz has 590 strikeouts. 6 Ks for Ervin tonight will put him sole possession of Ramon's current neighborhood, 15th place. That's right, 6 strikeouts tonight and Ervin will leapfrog over THREE Angels in the all time strikeouts category.
Francisco Rodriguez ranks 17th on the all time Angel list with 587 strikeouts and just ahead of him, tied with Ramon Ortiz for #15 All Time with 590 strikeouts as an Angel is Scot Shields, who tied Ramon last night with a K looking of Jose Lopez for the 2nd out in the 8th inning.
Ervin Santana could surpass these three tonight with six strikeouts. But sole possession of 15th place could be tenuous if Shields is called upon in the late innings.
In the big picture, a healthy Ervin Santana is on his way to ranking a lot higher than #15 in many Angel pitching categories.
Also if you want to get a laugh, the Dallas Morning News linked to Halos Heaven and in the comments (SCROLL DOWN) at that link, the hayseed populace goes off on yours truly, generalizing Angels fans as entitled and calling me a socialist among other things.

gotta love this comment:
“Whomever wrote that article on halosheaven is all of the following: Democrat, liberal, never succeded in athelictic competition, pro-gay, pro abortion, and just a downright socialist, floundering idiot.”
as if being all those things makes you a bad person and an idiot. that just makes me more mad about texas and all their stupid fans.
light up the halo
its comments like that
That make me think they put the border on the wrong side of that state…
If you scroll down
a fellow Texas native rips that bigot who hasn’t lived in TX for 13 years by telling him to stay out..haha, what gives me more of a laugh is the person from Orange County below claiming how OC is all Republican and we should be all buddy buddy with Texas. Newsflash – Texas is a split state between dems and repubs for the most part, it used to be a majority Democrat state, and still is. Unfortunately W moved in from the Northeast and put on the gimmick of being a Texas native. I suggest watching the documentary, “Crawford” to get more of an idea of the cowboy sham that W put on before the 2000 election so he could win Texas.
#34, never forget.
as far as i'm concerned
we should act as entitled as we would like here atHALOS HEAVEN. it’s not like the brunt of us go on the mlb.com boards acting like prick angel fans in every forum. we leave that nonsense to the yanksox fan boys.

Ervin is all of what, 26?
He can really climb the all-time Angel strike out list before he calls it a career, assuming good health, and that he remains an Angel.

Health will be his primary risk from breaking a lot of records.

Texas
More proof the people of Texas are out of touch with reality. I’m happy to assist them in their efforts to secede.
Nick, you will always be an Angel. And you will be missed.

The way he's been pitching this year
possession of a lead “could be tenuous if Shields is called upon in the late innings.”
We don't need no stinkin' Shields
The Halos have Rudy Seanez to shut down the opposition…….

LOL
The Dallas Morning News article was a great read. You have to remember, the Cowboys stunk the joint up this past season, the Mavericks were beat up by KMart and the Nuggets, their NHL team is a joke, thus all they have left are the Rangers and NASCAR. Let’s them thump their chests in May, we’ll see who’s still playing in September and October.
That is rich

Play Wood already. Willits sucks.
It's always great
when people on message boards cry “idiot” and “stupid” and then misspell words in the very same post. Oh the ironing…
RIP Nick Adenhart, #34

Yeee-haaaw!
I can’t get enough of that good ‘ol boy terrified paranoia that we’re a giant pansexual hippie commune of wheatgrass drinking liberal fascists plotting mandatory perversion and the nationalization of their SUVs.
May the Singing Cowboy’s team shine forever.

You’re not supposed to talk about the plans for mandatory perversion and SUV nationalization until we spring it on them!

oh dear how ever will I cope with my jealousy of the lone star state...
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight… last i check partner, i live in SUNNY SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA! Where the beaches, the women, the weather are all perfect year round! get off your high horse and stop telling me people are jealous of the “Great state of Texas”!
You know, I was born and raised in Texas. For the last 13 years I have lived out of state. I always knew that residents of other states were jelous of the Lone Star State, even as a kid; but I had no idea it was this bad.

Cut the state off and send it out to see
Did you see that line? It was nice.

In defense of their stupidity...
A comments section on the interweb doesn’t mean anything.
I mean, look at the OC register’s comments section. That shit right there makes me lose faith in humanity. Is that a reflection on California?
The anonymity of the internet usually brings out the worst in people.
