PrintFinal Score in Chicago: Angels 9, White Sox 5
The Angels salvaged their series against the White Sox with a power-laden win over the Southsiders. Sloppy pitching by starter Ervin Santana managed to yield 4 runs in 6 innings, but it was much uglier than that. Fortunately, the Comiskey/US Cellular Launching Pad reputation worked for the Angel bats who hit 4 Homeruns on their way to their 64th victory of the season.
Rounding the bases on one-swing-solo-shots for the Angels were Bobby Abreu and Vladimir Guerrero, which was to be expected, but the surprises came from an early 2-run bomb by Jeff Mathis and some late insurance from Erick Aybar. Santana gave most of an early 5-0 lead back with a 3 run bomb to Jason Nix in the 2nd and walked in a run in the 3rd, but he swished around the powerful Pale Hose lineup and was rewarded with his 4th victory of the year.

Was in a meeting so I missed the 7th and 8th.
Just looked at the box. That’s a mighty nice line for the Fat Chick.

Aha...
This is a planned attack against what I did in the second game thread! Beware my power, for it does not suffer fools gladly…
jk, all in good fun though.
;-)
They say a picture's worth a thousand words?
Make that a thousand and one. Sweet.
Haha
There was a time I used to make fun of athletes for the faces they made while playing.
Then I saw pictures of me playing hockey.
No more joking.

No post game “I jus sed F*&$ it” from Santana? Maybe Jose Mota did not interview him.
I love this team.
Man, I wish he did.
I always look forward to Ervin’s interviews.
ha, no. An A's fan of all people.

Oooh! I hate ninja bosses.
I ran my own business the last 5 years I worked. I was my own worst boss ever.
THIS… IS… ANAHEIM!!
Hahaha! I never had a stash.
I made me work overtime, and sometimes on weekends.
It was a great job in lots of ways, but I had trouble seting prices high enough to drive off the idiots. There were a few problem clients* that I tried to discourage by bidding double on their projects just so they’d go away, and then they HAD to have what I was selling, and adored everything I did for them. If I’d charged them my regular rate they would have found things to complain about.
Feh. I do not like some of the things I learned about human nature.
*word gets around, costume designers talk to each other.
THIS… IS… ANAHEIM!!
We need a "watch-out boss is coming', feature on HH.
That reminds me of this conference I went to with my boss in Orlando. Let’s just say it involved an entire mini-bar and some pent up frustration.

Of the offensive choices...
Fangraphs rates Figgy as the lowest possible in WPA (win or loss advancement). That is if you believe in Fangraphs.

Funny....
No more Vlad haters since he hit that absolute BOMB today. Look for a big August from him! Be there tomorrow, I’m so excited. Going to sport my fire engine red Vlad authentic jersey. Go Halos, Beat Texas!
Guarantee you that you will hear “The Boys are Back in Town” when they go to take the field.
I love this team.

I don't think a single Angel fan hates Vlad.
On the contrary, I think we all love him, so much so that we get frustrated at his obvious decline. It happens to every ballplayer, we just don’t want to see it.
Im gonna be there Sunday and I’m STOKED that he’s back in the line-up. He can still do special things… let’s hope he’s saving the best for the for post season.
What do you need a fancy suit for, Charlie, you ain't got no job to wear it to.
wrong
many haters who hide on days like this or rattle of rationalizations of their hate as coming form somewhere intellectual but it is jsut jealous haterade in a cup of self-pity

I don't hate Vlad, but I think his legs are finished and that hinders him unless he hits home runs.
It’s not his fault, but there it is.
Of course, if he hits lots of homers he won’t have to run hard.
THIS… IS… ANAHEIM!!
He has hit a few balls fairly hard..The error from Dye was ripped..He crushed his HR today…
He was finding his stroke before he was injured..
I do agree that his OF days are over and he needs to learn the transition to a DH….but that is one fearsome DH you have..
He deserves time to get back and start htting the ball..The hot weather should help him get loose and comfortable,and he historically is a violent august and September player
Many are just worried that taking Juan and Kendry down the lineup is going to hurt us,but I think when you stack up what Vlad is capable of doing against what they are doing,hopefully Vlad does just that…
We all win when Vlad is the RBI guy on this team.

Looking at the boxscore
I wonder when the last time this late in a season, a team had four players homer and none of them be in double digits. Just strikes me as odd.
It's part of what makes baseball so unpredictable and so enjoyable.
Before we played the Twins last weekend, they played a 3 game series against the White Sox and swept them. We then played the Twins and crushed them in 3 straight games. So, you’d sort of think we’d proceed to crush the White Sox…or didn’t that seem follow logically?
Of course, there are others that could counter with statistics that could have indicated the Sox winning all 3 games (regression to the mean type statistics). And then more and more statistical arguments countering one another.
Fact is, no one knows what “statistics” will be preeminent at any given time. That’s why its fun to watch…you really never know what will happen.
In no way am I giving Ozzie credit for it
he must be the anti-Soth, sold his soul to something, and gets lucky with the way management gets members for the Pale Hose. They always seem to bring us down.
Hopefully he hits 10 solo shots ...
and yet the Sox lose 11-10.
I love this team.

You can't stop the Angels.
You can only hope to contain them for a while.
