Joe Saunders Kicks Out The M's; Angels Win 10-0

PrintFinal Score in Seattle: Angels 10, Mariners 0
Pitcher Joe Saunders looked rusty in a 28-pitch first inning, but getting out of a bases loaded jam unscathed gave him new life. He threw only 70 pitches over the next 6 and finished with 7 IP, 3 H, 4 K and 3 BB with no runs allowed. The Angels offense sent souvenirs into the Safeco Field cheap seats. Juan Rivera hit a 3-Run homerun and Vladimir Guerrero hit a pair of 2-Run homeruns.
Angels 3Bman Chone Figgins scored his 100th run of the season, Kendry Morales raised his batting average to Pi (.314) by going 3 for 4 and Howie Kendrick pitched in late with a 2 RBI single. Trevor Bell made his first major league relief appearance with two scoreless innings.
The Mariners, meanwhile, looked like a truck hit them. Ichiro missed his 8th straight game and Ken Griffey Jr was too hurt to play and it looked like the little league world series out there with weak pitching and a half-empty stadium, especially those lucrative home plate seats. The actor who played the power hitting Jobu-disciple in the film favorite Major League threw out the first pith, but the little statue of power was somewhere in mojo land and he wasn't happy with the Mariners. Thanks, Jobu!.

Soon to be All Star Juan Rivera?
What does that mean when it is September 1?
Trevor Bell!
A big shout out to TREVOR BELL!
Bitchin’ performance over two inning.
+1
Young dude looked like he was on a mission tonight to make everyone forget the last 2 crummy outings.
3 Ks in 2 innings, 0 H, 1 BB
Not bad at all.
The Big Red Machine V.2 is coming this Fall 2009. Go Halos!
Joe
has several pieces of furniture taped to his arm.
What do you need a fancy suit for, Charlie, you ain't got no job to wear it to.

I love this team.

Do you think
that Manny and Thome will discuss the finer points of sticking needles in asses and where to purchase your HGH?

Colonel awesome, Johnny good, Bell great outta the pen...
But my nod is to Vlad of the double jacks. Be nice to see him get 20 HRs by season end. And maybe Bell out of the pen is just what we need.
W6G!
And that second jack was a monster -- upper deck
Angels baseball. We do what we must, because we can -- HaloDutch
And it looked sloppy too. Vintage Vlad.

No, thanks to Vlad and Juan clearing the bases in front of him every inning.
He gave it a great shot though, 3-4 with 2 doubles.

I gotta show some Halo love for the Colonel
Vlad was just being Vlad (finally)
and Bell — the dude was just ice cold to closeout the win.
2009 Halos:
"Don't worry bout a thing,
Cause every little thing gonna be all right!"
Just need to bring in Thome to pinch hit
and Judy to close — I think those moves scream more “DESPERATION” rather than slick general management.

sorry to be off topic but...
this favre coverage with the vikes is ridiculous. Favre is my favorite QB of all time but my god give him some rest ESPN.

he should have stayed retired but who would give up a chance at revenge?
against his old team…

about Mosely...
i dont know if this is news to you guys but when i last heard he was out until sept. and I just read that he will be out till spring training. To bad he still hurt, he would have helped us in the BP :(
They want power, We want respect...
Garland was going to pitch against the dodgers on thursday
at least he can just walk over to his new locker down the hall since they are playing each other
Garland and Thome arent huge pickups but...
they help a lot IMO, they can now hold onto the West or still win the Wild Card.

Didn't give the 'cuda his time to break records?

Panther = Joe
Vladdy’s demise has been much exaggerated.
Juan Gone ripped one.
Kendry MVP
Angel Pitching, Angel Defense - get past that.
What demise ?? Guy missed 2 months worth of production,and is playing through the pectoral muscle problem..
Most call it a year and get surgery or miss more time,Vlad like he has always been,tie me up,stitch me, I wanna be out there and help my team…
Took a while for him to get his real “timing” back but historically September is a good month for him..Let us watch and see
Many were writing him off. That’s the “demise” vladtheimpaler was talking about. And he was saying it was way off base.
I love this team.
by Downing Rules on Sep 1, 2009 10:10 AM PDT up reply actions
Yeah, I was defending the ’exaggerated demise" theory.. I agree with vladimpaler..
Guerrero just goes into longer slumps then he did in his younger years.. He fouls off a lot of pitches he normally crushes,why he doesnt hit 35 plus home runs a year anymore..
At the end of the month,lets see what his numbers end at,and remember he did it hurt..
If he has a great playoff run I would be great for that..
"Took a while to get his real timing back"
I may be mistaken, but seems to me he came back from the injury and started ripping right away.

Thus my moniker is becoming true again
