Jered Weaver CGSO + Juan Rivera 2 HRs = Angels SWEEP!

by scottnak on Jun 14, 2009 3:30 PM PDT in Postgame Report Comment 39 comments

Final Score: Angels 6, Padres 0.

The Angels seem to be jelling into a successful one-upsmanship. Juan Rivera hit two homeruns in Sunday's game, a day after Torii Hunter hit three. Jered Weaver went 9 innings for a complete game shutout after Joe Saunders had gone 8.1 last night.

The victim of this new standard of living in Anaheim was the San Diego Padres ... Swept a hundred miles from home.

The Angels played the three game series in a rejuvenated manner, with fewer mishaps than in recent weeks, aware that Howie Kendrick and Jose Arredondo have been sent down to the minors and probably quite aware that Tony "The Ninja" Reagins could pull a trade at any moment.

For all the talk about the weaker National League West, the team is on the schedule and the Angels showed up to play them. Jered Weaver left no doubt about what a first round draft pick can deliver and who the ace of the staff is

Even though it was against the Padres...

A sweep is a sweep and this team needed it. Sometimes you gotta beat up on the helpless kids to feel better about yourself and that’s what our halos did this weekend

Phys: Well, Coon doesn't have a lot of power but he's a good bunter
Coon: F$%# That!

Definately not

I was ONE of the helpless kids. I’ve just learned to understand why they did it which is why I completely condone the Angels actions this weekend by picking on the nerds living down the street (figuratively speaking of course).

Beating up on the weaker members of the NL is fun

Play Wood already. Willits sucks.

I am just glad Soth seems to have taken he reigns of this team and is ruling by the whip

nobody is safe from AAA and that makes me happy…

2009 Angels Season: Let's Do This For Nick

Can we send Matthews down to AAA?

At this time, it's difficult to know...

…if it’s the Padres horrendous play or the butt-chewing by Scioscia that inspired the team. Probably some of both.

Whatever…the team seemed to play with more fire (although we still had…10-15 outs on the basepaths in the 3 game series? Ugh.). I wish we could keep this same slugging percentage (as against the Padres) over the balance of the season!

Forget GMJ, why the hell is Mathis still in the Majors?

He did hit a homer in the series

and I like your screen name, you knucklehead.

You're either very young, or not very thoughtful.

Dude he isn't even hitting 200,

and I’ve been an Angels fan since about 1976.

its not just about hitting

by mastermind565 on Jun 14, 2009 6:58 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Only to a point.

You can overlook a miserable offensive catcher only so much. I would hope a catcher would hit at least .225, under .200 for any pro baseball player is unacceptable to me.

Maybe Moreno will give you a job.

Is it about errant throws into centerfield?

Driven into right-center field, Erstad says he has it...the Angels, world champions!

P.S. What is MLBN thinking?

If they asked ESPN, they’d know that the top play has to come from either NYY or BOS.

[just kidding, MLBN rocks]

Looks Like Sosh finally caught on that letting our guys throw complete games is a good thing

OH yah, and notice the 119 pitches. So to all those who were bagging on folks in some other posts in regards to complete games. Well this one is for you.
