Friday Lunch Thread - Win 101

It becomes the best game he has ever pitched.

And I’m lucky I obeyed the impulse to go last night and watch from a half-priced seat.

But in a way, for me, it kind of felt like watching Big Thunder say goodbye.

(please don’t think I’m trying to incite a post-season discussion – I’m just being wistful).

ok, im being irrational. but i don’t want to live in a world where john lackey and his weird face will pitch for another team.

Late at night (and sometimes the next day), FSN does a replay of the Angels game, but it’s compressed into a two hour slot (typically, after a commercial break, there will be a voiceover announcement to the effect that “due to time constraints, we pick up the action later in the contest”). Last night’s contest was over in 2:02, and so they showed the whole game I believe. They only edited out some of the time in between pitches.

and was tossed from the game before completing the first inning. Hysterical and historical, this game makes a perfect bookend to last night’s game.

it’s very comforting to know every game now we have more than a better chance to win. Lackey was awesome last night, here’s to duplicating that in his next start.

hope the hitting joins this superb starting pitching soon. :)

to bad i see almost no chance in him returning next year unless he backs down on his arrogance of how great he thinks he is which is good and especially how much he should be making cause ill tell u he doesn’t desirve over 15 mill a year no matter how well he did tonight or this season

We signed a young, experienced starter in Kazmir.

Lackey has started the last two years on the DL…which could be a sign of absolutely nothing but it certainly isnt comforting either.

And…

uh…

We save some money? Im lost…

true we got kaz which i think was great to me we don’t lose as much as lackey thinks we lose by him leaving. we still got four great starters and at least two who are ready in my eyes to step into the #1 spot in kaz and saunders

also we can go get another player with that money and also even a starter that can fill the 5 spot and give us what a number 5 should. we may not have the type we have now which is not a real 5 and is only there cause of how many good pitchers we have but someone like doug davis or even our own palmer i think would fill the role well.

true but i dont see the angels spending that money and if u say for instance they have the same payroll last year they would not be able to afford him. now that said if they expand there payroll some they can but obviously vlad is gone but remember they are going to have to sign a free agent or two also. after signing the arbitration eligable and abreu, figgy, oliver, they will only have around 20 mill to spend. so i dont see him signing but mabye they will suprize us they have before lol
