PrintFinal 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!
Thanks Zu
i hope you wouldn't beat up kids to feel better
thats cruel and a bit unusual
Rest in Peace Adenhart

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).

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
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!
Dude he isn't even hitting 200,
and I’ve been an Angels fan since about 1976.
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.
Is it about errant throws into centerfield?
Play Wood already. Willits sucks.

raising a kid in norcal, tsk tsk.

Driven into right-center field, Erstad says he has it...the Angels, world champions!
never gonna happen........
shes already gotten a few Halos outfits…….she’s gonna know who to root for.

WTY is definitely the panther, but..
My all friends and I are think that Juan Rivera hit with luminous resistance power
Angels fan since '67
Now HGH gets some MLBN love
HGH’s catch was Quick Pitch’s Capitol One Premier Play of the day
Angels fan since '67
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]
Angels fan since '67
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.

Weaver is NOT Saunders
Saunders has shown a definite wear-down at season’s end, whereas Jered has finished strong.

Just thought I'd mention
How did the Angels do the last time the Lakers won the title? hmmmmm…it would be nice if symmetry was with us again.
Nick Adenhart - 1986 - 2009 R.I.P.

Are you sure?
I was watching the games at the time, and I’m sure Barry Bonds won it. That’s what Fox Sports told me anyways.
I believe ESPN reported it as “Bonds fails to surpass Reggie’s World Series Records”.
Angels fan since '67
Weaver is Panther today and Starter Panther of the year so far
And Chone Figgins is a lead off Beast!
Angel Pitching (Adenhart), Angel Defense - get past that.
Chone has been absolutely awesome this year.
I still think he may be the most important player on the Angels and has been for several years now. He should not even be considered tradeable.
