PrintFinal Score in Los Angeles of Anaheim: Rockies 3, Angels 4
On Jeff Mathis giveaway jersey night at Angel Stadium of Anaheim, Angels Catcher Jeff Mathis scored two runs, including the tying run in the bottom of the 8th. Erick Aybar was right behind him, scoring on a bases-loaded single by Right Fielder Bobby Abreu. Mathis also nailed a runner at the plate BAREHANDED late in the game. He was nails on a night when the Colorado Rockies' Ubaldo Jimenez was on his game. Don't let that scary name stop you from putting this stud on your fantasy team. Despite the L he got down the street from Disneyland tonight, it was his team that let him down on back-to-back poor fielding of bunts in the 8thh inning. Those muffs on the grass set up the bases-loaded opportunity for Abreu.
In a postgame interview with Jose Mota, Mathis acknowledged that the jersey giveaway pumped him up and reveled in the fact that for the first time since opening day, the Angels are in first place in the American League West, albeit tied with the Texas Rangers.
Kevin Jepsen got the win in relief, one of four Angel relievers to pitch a scoreless inning in succession of starter Sean O'Sullivan. Brian Fuentes got his 20th save. Talk about balls to the wall, he did it against a slew of old teammates who knew every trick in his book. But Superman was behind the plate for the Halos and in the end, Ubaldo's Green Lantern had nothing on him.

+1 on the pen
They lit some flames but put them out. Great job to give us four scoreless.
The beers are symbolic of how many balls he needs to throw before getting the first strike in.
I brought sexy back, but they only gave me store credit....
Unfortunately Humans don't have 4 Hands
Unless he’s holding beers with his feet too.
Did I even have to look
At the poster of that pic?
No…of course not. It was obviously a 44FAN win pic.

Angels trade for Peavy and sign him to an extension:

Napoli and Weaver must have already taken all of the women outta that place
"I see great things in baseball. It's our game, the American game. It will repair our losses and be a blessing to us."
Mathis for sure
Bobby had the big hit. Fuentes was nails in the 9th. But Mathis did it all — sick defensive play on the block at the plate, stopped numerous balls in the dirt, 2 hits, a walk to start the rally, and jersey giveaway.
As I said in the game thread, if all that is not panther, Mathis will never get it.
Rivera should get some love
that HR was money
Rest in Peace Adenhart

Agreed
My fantasy team has many problems. Think early April Angels.
Pick up Adrian Gonzales, Prince Fielder, and Joe Mauer
they’ve been carrying my team

"Pick up"
What league do you play in that they are still available?

What the?
It’s part Dracula, part T-Rex, part Terminator.
The opiate of the masses is spectator sports. What else explains the astounding fact that millions of seemingly intelligent human beings feel that the athletic exertions of total strangers are somehow consequential for themselves?

I decided to make an alternate vers. (see below)
So yeah, meaner? Check. More Panther-esque? Be the judge.
More Rawr! New and (possibly) improved!

Now THAT is awesome stuff.
We don't have a Bullpen. We have a Cowpen. Before we get to call it a Bullpen these guys gotta grow a pair.
Was just thinking how much of a D-Bag I think Marky Mark is.

Look at his career numbers
He is Cy Young in April/May, then Cy Yuck, then back to above average.
Every year.

The 2009 Texas Rangers offense: sigh...

I didn't mean that as a backhanded comment...
I am legitimately confused why you would say that… I thought you guys were having a good offensive year?

Angels fan since '67

Bobby with the big hit...
I swore he was going to provide me with a 1-2-3 DP deja-vu. I ate some crow.
I love this team.
Shout out to the 8th-inning BUNT FEST
I know the 3rd baseman made some crappy plays, but hey…. OUR GUYS PUT DOWN SOME GOOD BUNTS TONIGHT! WOO HOO!
DR OUT.
I love this team.
Panther: Jeff "see Naps, this how to block balls in the dirt" Mathis
Angel Pitching (Adenhart), Angel Defense - get past that.
