Final Score in Los Angeles of Anaheim: Angels: 11, Rockies: many fewer
On the day after shaving his head with some mace in the dark, Vladimir Guerrero hit a ball out of the Anaheim Trailer Park and started a flood of runs turning the rubber game of this interleague series into a laugher. It was only Guerrero's 2nd homerun of the season but is a sign of life that he may be back. Vlad also had an RBI double in the 1st inning and later scored that inning.
ALL of Guerrero's RBIs came with TWO OUTS.
Joe Saunders took a shutout into the 7th inning before he surrendered a solo HR and a single to get the hook at 103 pitches. With his 8th win, can Saunders be backing into All Star consideration? If so, he has company with Angels 3Bman Chone Figgins, who was 3 for 4 with a stolen base and scored 3 runs.
The Angels remain tied for 1st Place in the AL West with the Texas Rangers.
Note: Apologies for the confusion in this game's questions. The Rev's intent was (for the first two questions) to refer to the STARTING PITCHER only. While transposing this particular day's questions to the form, I added an "s" to the first two questions which may have made people think it was for ALL pitchers total (including myself). The results will reflect Rev's INTENT and thus the first two answers will be UNDER-UNDER. Sorry for the mix up!
For future references, if there is any ambiguity between the POSTED question and the FORM, go with the POSTED version. And if that's ambiguous, ask... and if there's no response, why not fire off an email for clarification. So this doesn't happen again. Again, sorry for the mix up... but it's only one game. Still plenty of points left in the season!

A great night to be in the seats
Scored a pair of 227s via StubHub auction for $23.50 and came home with an 11-3 ass whoopin, 2 free Del Tacos, 24 free Hooters Wings, 24 free Claim Jumper wings and 2 free Angels coolers.
Tack on signs of life from the Impaler and an impressive performance from the Col. and it feels pretty good to be a Halos fan right now.

Cheers, dude.
The Claim Jumper in Fountain Valley is 1 minute away from a Del Taco and within 5 from Hooters. Enjoy!
RIP NICK ADENHART

Vlad
Big man needed a game like this.
On another note I watched the highlights of Vlad’s double and run scored on Morales’ single, He looks soooooooooooo much better then he has the past couple years. Running without limp, and running with authority. It was very promising.
Phys: Well, Coon doesn't have a lot of power but he's a good bunter
Coon: F$%# That!
Thanks Zu

Colossal game
Had one of the best times I’ve ever had at the park tonight, will in fact be fanposting the experience once I get the photos uploaded in a day or so.

Excellent day at the park...
Absolutely made up for being there at two early season collapses. Gonna go get my wings and taco tomorrow!
by reddawnman on Jun 24, 2009 11:23 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
Haha...
Will you be getting both your wings or just one?
Will you be getting pizza from CPK while you’re at it?
Will you be putting it all in your Angels cooler??

So I got the taco coupon but how do we redeem the wings and pizza?
Ticket stub? Also (since I never pay attention) what exactly is the giveaway from CPK entitle us too? Lastly, can I still redeem my pizza if I printed my tix at home?
Thanks! And great game to be at!

I'm curious about CPK too
This is because there were 10 Ks by Angels pitchers right?
by ReggieBullits on Jun 25, 2009 7:48 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I believe it's a discount
But not sure

2 coolers. Went below-seat diving after the typical CA fans left in the 7th.
And i will be going to Fountain Valley to make the short circuitous route mentioned above between claim jumper and hooters. I’ll have the taco for lunch at work…

They may replay it tomorrow.
They have replayed the two previous games against Colorado on each of the following days.
I hope that sentence made sense.

Two People Shot
I’m being told two people were shot in the parking lot at 10:26. Can’t find any other information. Anyone got anything?

Panther: Angels dugout
Vlad was soooo pumped when he hit the hr he almost took off the third base coaches hand heading toward home. When he got to the dugout he was pumped and everyone just ignored him and stared straight ahead, solemnly. Vlad was like “WTF.” Then everyone erupted into joyous congrats. Abreu was busting out laughing as were the rest of the crew.
That is by far the most precious moment of the game. Anyone got video on that?
Angel Pitching (Adenhart), Angel Defense - get past that.

Thanks for the taco. There’s a Del Toxic next door to my office.
