Angels Win Comes in Extras, Post-Perfecto

PrintFinal Score in Oakland: Angels 1, Athletics 0
In televised post-game comments to Rex Hudler and Steve Physioc, Angels slugger Bobby Abreu told them "John Lackey owned the mound today." Lackey matched Oakland's Brett Anderson with 0 runs but Anderson had a perfect game going for 6 and 2/3 innings before Abreu singled. Anderson extracted his revenge with an immediate pickoff, but in the 10th, Abreu struck a solo shot to make all the difference in a tight Ace/Closer tandem pitching duel
And Lackey did own the mound, allowing just 3 hits in 9 innings pitched. Abreu hit a solo shot off of A's All Star closer Andrew Bailey and Brian Fuentes nailed down his 28th save of the season.
At 52-38 after 90 games, the Angels own the 4th best record in all of baseball. Considering their 6-11 start, they have the best record in the MLB after the first two weeks of the season. Meanwhile, Oakland looks terrible, Brett Anderson's 7 innings of 2-hit ball notwithstanding. The usually-reliable Baley showed his youthful inexperience when he served up a middle-inside fastball to the still powerful Bobby Abreu.
It was Abreu's 248th career homerun, moving him into a tie with Goose Goslin and Ted Simmons for 196th place all time in baseball history. Ha ha ha, there is a factoid for ya Fizzy! Angelswin!

had to go with Lackey because Abreu would of never had the chance without John's performance
Angels in 09!
that's a tough vote
Bobby gets the HR
Lackey 9 shutout innings
I’m going with Lackey – he’s on my fantasy team.
9 innings of shutout pitching'll win every time.

My exact thoughts
This team is our extended family, That's why we love them no matter what the record, no matter what the score.

most of the time 5 runs in 6 IP
will get a Panther on this site. But I agree, for this case, it’s Lackey. Although I voted Bobby for kicks.

that fight would've been more epic
with Napoli involved. he’d probably be hitting Kendall from the other side….
but great pic either way
Thank you, Nick Adenhart. You will always be remembered. #34

Kendrick hit a home run?!
Please get rid of Kendrick and Aybar. And Speier. R.I.P. Nick Adenhart, Marquis Cooper, Steve McNair
by JoseGuillenSux on Jul 20, 2009 2:50 PM PDT up reply actions
Tough call.
I voted Lack, but if Abreu doesn’t hit that HR, Lack keeps pitching, and eventually Speier comes in.
Let's win one for Nick
I voted for Lackey
Pitched a gem, with a seamless transition to Fuentes. Of course, Bobby did break up the no-no with the game winning HR…..shit, maybe I voted for the wrong player.
YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARKSIDE.....
Yeah
I meant to say “broke up the no-no, THEN hit the game winning HR”
YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARKSIDE.....
No worries moosemastr
I’ve already drank a sixer, just glad I can still type.

Well, come on...
It didn’t involve the Skanks or the Sux, so nobody gives a shit about it anyways.
Angels fan since '67
POTG
I voted Bobby because not only did he break up the Perfecto but won the game for us… You Go ABREU!!
Just Another...

He’s in 196th place

PLAY FIGGINS ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!.....or not
by Figgi4life on Jul 19, 2009 4:32 PM PDT via mobile reply actions
Awesome victory today.
This sets a new # of games above .500…14 now. Believe it or not, we are only 1 1/2 games behind the Yanks, and 21/2 games behind Boston for best record in the AL.
Plus, Seattle next plays Detroit, and Boston plays Texas. Since we play KC, we have a chance to gain more ground in the division.
RAWR!
Just woke up to see this awesomeness. Going back to sleep now, sweet dreams, Abreu swinging the bat, Fuentesaurus with the RAWR
Don't call me Desmond
Min up on Tex 3-2 bottom of 6
come on Twinkies!!!!
