2 runs early
i like these kinds of starts … so long as the O doesn’t snooze for the next 5 innings

So i’m listening to the gameday audio link. They’re having Retro Night at Tampa….does this mean they wear those ugly black jerseys from the 1990s? Jose Canseco hypodermic needles?
#34, never forget.
no ugly jerseys
no word yet on the needles
Thank you, Nick Adenhart. You will always be remembered. #34
We've up already. Off to a good start.
Vlad with a hit even. Figgy scores in the first. One pregame point already, yay!
I am the Iron Man
It helps that we aren't sitting anyone.
Well, I would rather see Naps in, but having the real OF in makes a bit of a diffference.
Matthews is a tool.
by matthiasstephan on Jun 9, 2009 4:24 PM PDT up reply actions
Just a thought here.. Great to see Torri hitting 3rd..While everyone knows that I regard Vlad as a God, he is nolonger a typical 3 hitter.. Yer 3 hitter should be a great athlete and your best hitter if possible,while Torri def can’t match Vlad for his career,right now he is the best option to hit 3rd.. Clean up with Vlad,take some pressure off…He should be a 4th hitter,while Torri can still create havoc on the basepaths !
That is the pitch Vlad needs 2 be PATIENT 4… I don’t think he is a David ortiz n decline,he can still drive the ball (hit the CF wall in TO 400 ft) What he needs to learn is to STOP swinging at unhittable pitches (even 4 Vlad) He can’t drive thos crazy pitches that he use 2.. But if he learned to be patient and wait for a pitch high to drive,you are gonan see a .300 avg with 20 hr and 75 rbi by seasons end..Not 2 bad for 4 months of production…
Stay back Vladdy,and stay PATIENT please !!
trade possibility
carl crawford to angels for______? The rays will probably not make it to the postseason this year

Well, Chupa signed for $5M this year...
I suspect he realizes that the market may not match the pre-2009 market.

All the guys are playing better because they have been yelled at for the past two days.

Soth also made them watch 2 hours of Murphy Brown.

I always remember him being tough on us. Hopefully we can tack more on.

I remember the olden days back in Anaheim...
when I used to watch the Angels on TV. Watching the games on ESPN gamecast just isn’t the same. I can’t wait to get extra innings. I should probably buy a TV first.

no sac or hit and run
no steal attempt by aybar
aybar is a waste even when he gets a hit, it’s just compounded when the guy behind him can’t move him over

In this game
pick the next inning the Angels will have an offensive outbreak of 2 runs or more, if picked correctly i will send you a Halos Heaven T-Shirt.
You cannot pick 0/none, and you are allowed only one pick.

Physioc on the radio is worst than Physioc on TV
he consistently forgets that the listener can’t see what is going on. Example, “line drive to right field, Abreu over to cut it off before it gets to the wall” (um, we don’t know if Abreu was catching it or getting it on a hop).

Tim Salmon was a second-round pick. You never know how guys will turn out.
