Around SBN: Indy 500: 'Greatest Spectacle In Racing' Set For Sunday

Angels Shutout in Seattle, Waste Ervin Santana Masterpiece

Final Score in Washington State: Mariners 1, Angels 0

Ervin Santana pitched a gem in the emerald city, but Brandon Wood is back in the AAA Salt mine, and with an AWOL offense, the Halos lost 1-0 to a Chris Jakubauskas, a Mariner pitcher who lowered his ERA to 6.10 with 6 shutout innings.

Howie Kendrick would seem just about ready to get demoted to AAA or at least put to work selling cotton candy in the aisles at the Big A by next week. After two batters walked to load the bases in the top of the 4th inning, Kendrick swung at the first pitch and hit a weak fly out. Torii Hunter, who had doubled with two out to start the would-be rally, was as close as the Angels got to a run tonight, stranded on 3B.

Santana pitched 6 and 2/3 innings of 1 run ball, allowing 5 hits, lowering his ERA to 3.09 in his 2nd start of the season. His 3 strikeouts on the evening pushed him to sole possession of 16th place on the Angels all-time Strikeouts list, surpassing Francisco Rodriguez, 588 Ks as an Angel to Frankie's 587.

Otherwise, this game blew chunks, and the chunkiest thing in Seattle is raw oysters, so there is your unappealing visual of what this game really looked like. Blechhh.

Gosh I wonder if

Wood and S-Rod have more HRs than our whole team yet? Gosh sure glad there down in AAA winning games for them.

We should have traded Howie for Miguel Cabrera...

Now we couldn’t even get Angel Cabrera for him.

Howie sucks.

I've got nothing.

How about Mathis's great defense

   Maybe Kendrick and Wood could trade places for a week or so, and let’s see what happens. If Wood blows like last year in the time he gets than O well.

by Big Bad, 'Vlad'! on May 20, 2009 11:19 PM PDT reply actions  

Maybe

we could get a hitting coach who can actually help the hitters?

Nick, you will always be an Angel. And you will be missed.

The Howie (signature) boys

Need to come out and fight these guys. Stick up for your boy. C’mon guys, have a thick skin and fight back!

For instance: “I’m writing down all of your names, when Howie bounces back and becomes the player we all know he can become then I will call all of yuse guys out!”

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

by vladtheimpaler on May 21, 2009 4:18 AM PDT reply actions  

Actually, if Vlad has a slow start

These guys here will start raking him over the coals. And I will be too lazy to take the advice I gave to the Howie boys. But I’m ready for battle.
