Joe Squanders Doesn't Stop Angels Broom in KC

PrintFinal Score in Missouri: Angels 9, Royals 6
Down by 4 runs to the Royals in Kansas City with only 7 outs to go, the Angels built a 3 run lead before they made 4 more outs. On a night when Joe Saunders ran out of gas after his 80th pitch (which is becoming quite the clockwork notion), the Angels made the longball matter. Maicer Izturis hit a 2-run HR early, Howie Kendrick hit a solo shot when the chips were down and Mike Napoli hit a blast in the 8th to tie it.
Saunders was on the ropes in a terrible 5th inning that saw 3 runs score with two outs. Hokie Joe then wimped in another run in the 6th and that was all, the boat that was to have sailed sunk, but Justin Speier, usually a bucket-hand on deck to stop the leaking, turned into a shutdown sunny day on the high seas as the SS Angel made a turn at the Comeback Sea. Speier got the win in relief and Brian Fuentes picked up his league leading 30th Save, becoming only the 2nd lefty in baseball history to have 30 Saves in each league.

R.I.P. #34
Donde esta Figgy??
but I went with izzy and naps definetely helped out the cause
Please get rid of Speier. "Yes, I suck."- Jose Guillen.

Delete the poll, then re-start it.
I went with Naps though. His HR tied the game and gave me genuine hope.
ehh im gonna pull a G.A.
i dont really feel like going thru all that again

2009 Angels Season: Let's Do This For Nick

Ditto
This week has been fantastic for the Halos and terrible for my picks.
That makes it hurt less.
But I usually get at least one point. I was doing so well there for a while…. wahhhhh!
.... as sexy as socks on a rooster.
“was the same play aybar made but easier”
If it was easier, how could it have been the same. Help me here, newton.
I love this team.

The top two plays were ho-hum.
Crawford’s play wasn’t nearly as good as they made it sound like, and Denard Span’s “great play” was in a 12-1 game. Seriously, game situation has to be a factor, right?
I am NOT Kevin Youkilis.
R.I.P. Nick Adenhart / NA34
That's why you gotta give Wise the #1 web gem.
Let's do this for Nick Adenhart, Courtney Stewart, and Henry Pearson.
I <3 the Angels
Aybar is a nowhere man, Sitting in his Nowhere Land, Making all his nowhere plans for nobody.

Speier and Jepsen pitched well
Jepsen has been great his last 7 appearances, maybe he’ll actually be a legitimate arm out of the bullpen.
RIP #34

Great photo caption there Rev Halofan.
I am happy to introduce All Star Third Baseman, Chone Figgins.
I looked at Royals Review tonight
and the comments on the thread from last night were pretty entertaining. These fans deserve a team that wins, as long as it’s not when we’re playing them.
(I did not comment, only read the thread. They are pouring salt in their own wounds)

.... as sexy as socks on a rooster.
I actually started feeling sorry for the TEAM, not the fans. The fans are abandoning hope. Leaving in droves like a bunch of disinterested Southern Californians used to at the stroke of 9:30PM. I guess the rest of the nation copied us on leaving games early.
I love this team.

I saw that shot of them pouring out of the stadium.
Here they used to leave because of traffic whether the Angels were winning or not. We lived in Riverside but we never left early. Now most of our fans stay to the bitter end, afraid of missing anything. My dad watched the last 3 innings of the game on Easter and asked us why the fans were standing at the end of the game, when we only needed one more out to win. I told him we are a blood-thirsty bunch, and it was Boston.
.... as sexy as socks on a rooster.
I feel bad for them too
But at the same time…what they are saying is highly entertaining
This team is our extended family, That's why we love them no matter what the record, no matter what the score.

I couldn’t help but clap a tiny bit seeing that Texas swept the Red Sox. Even though they are our direct competition, I am glad the Rangers took it to the Red Sox. Now, you can proceed to lose the next 20, Texas.
I love this team.
Someone posted in a game thread...
…in the series between the Sux and Rangers, they were cheering for the umpires.
No way I root for Rangers and Mary-ners
Not till we have a 10 game lead with 9 to go.
Angel Pitching, Angel Defense - get past that.
