Wake up call for the Colonel today????
Anyone? Someone send him one?
I think it is time for him to get his shit in a pile and go back to being our best pitcher! I’m behind ya Joe… :)
Miss you Nick...! RIP
The American League West is 64-49 this season against the AL East, with Oakland, at 17-18, the only club of the four-pack below .500. The Angels are 17-9 against the beasts of the East. … The Angels finished July with a 19-7 record, one shy of their club record for wins in the month set in 1995.
Miss you Nick...! RIP
This Swarzak kid looks pretty sharp.

What is up with the 88/89 mph fastball Joe?
I haven’t watched him much lately…he is missing some mph!

Ok, finally up in the low 90's pretty consistently...
Joe scoreless first…works for me! One down!

Evening all
…just discovered that ESPN now have a free-to-air channel in the UK, and yes it’s showing the Angels game. Hurrah.
(the Twins commentators are rubbish)
I see red people
People complain about Phyz.
But at least he sounds excited to be watching the game. Most of these guys just sit there and drone.
~Till the Halo burns out...
They're ALL like that though.
Well, some of them start to shout and spew catch phrases when their team starts to win. But that’s still annoying.
~Till the Halo burns out...
I always get stuck with the home team feed on MLB
…there was one really entertaining, well-informed pair a week or two back, but I’ll be arsed if I can remember who. I want to say Seattle, but that may be wrong.
I see red people
I've got a feeling that it'll be subscription once the football season starts...
…they picked up Setanta’s premiership games and will be showing them on the same channel.

He's done it twice in the game.
And that was actually a pretty good AB from Joe. Most of his pitches were well located and the slider was more of a “let’s see if I can get him to wave at this” pitch.
