Final Score in Boston: Angels 1, Red Sox 4
Angels pitcher John Lackey still stands as a paragon of athletic virtue no matter what the box score reads.
Fighting off the Rangers for a playoff berth, the Boston Red Sox are looking juiced out of desperation. Consider the evidence: Dustin Pedroia is 26 and almost bald. David Ortiz has made it a habit to slump in synch with regular synthetic drug cycles. Daniel Bard throws 99 and Johnathan Papelbon 95... did Manny Ramirez leave behind anything in his locker last year?
The American League's cheatingest team of sleaze and Ben Affleck's lustful affection could not find a way to poison the food of any Angels players, nor transmit pink-eye virus to the middle of the Halo lineup. Perhaps owner John Henry is busy finding a way of profiting off of Swine Flu worry about baseball clubs with character and strong moral fiber playing in front of the assorted local diploma mill "graduates" and grotesque obesities in the stands.

by Rev Halofan on Sep 15, 2009 9:23 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Maybe, maybe not.
But Figgy’s versatility could be used to both get HK’s hot bat in the lineup and also give Rivera a rest (which it looks like he needs badly). We always look at the leftfield options and groan….ugh Matthews, double ugh Wilits, but we always seem to forget that Figgy could play out there. It IS and interesting idea, and I don’t think anyone would argue that HK is smoking right now and should get some more AB’s.

here si the bottom line:
Figgy sucks in the outfield, especially since it has been more than a year since he played there. no way.
Instead of platooning Izzy and Howie, give Chone a few days off his feet and see which of Howie/Izzy rises to the occasion…

Makes sense.
Doesn’t change the fact that Rivera needs a rest too.

Rivera is weak. Trade him in the offseason. He can only hit off 4th and 5th starters and theiir bullpen counterparts.

And it did remind me of October against the Sux. Every time I hear those fans and their cheers makes me want to toss something out the window.
But don’t be bagging on Juancho. Got to remember how solid he was the entire season up until the last couple weeks. I love having a hitter like him batting 7th. He’ll be fine.

I’m just as frustrated by this loss as anyone, but it’s getting to be tiresome (not to mention disingenuous) to harp on the use of PEDs by various Red Sox players over the years. We all know that the 2002 Angels were just as roided up as anyone else.

Bit Players, helping out, etc.
Let’s see… do the Angels win in 2002 without Glaus? He was the WS MVP in a tight 7 game series (and also had a monster year). Take Glaus off the 2002 team and the Angels lose. Take Manny/Ortiz off of 2004/2007 and, well…those were easy 4 game sweeps.
Oh..and there are multiple sources on Glaus (not just Mitchell-see http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/baseball/mlb/09/07/drug.probe/)

Well
he hit 30 HRs, leading the team. Maybe not a moster year indeed. But I guess he was off the juice for that year, sure. Look, this is completely silly-our responses are to Rev’s ridiculous lead post. Did Sox players cheat? Sure, you would have to be very naive say otherwise. The same is true of all teams, including the Angels. The irony is that there are people below who are claiming that Sox fans who have come to this site are a bunch of hypocrites for bringing up 2002 World Series MVP Troy Glaus. Huh? These are responses to Rev’s crybaby post. The 2002 Angels are no more or less legit than the 2004/2007 Sox. I do like the guy who said that Glaus only cheated in 03. That is creative. I suppose that is true of Ortiz too…

Moo Vaughn's best days were in Fenway.
Dude was raking a la Manny and a la Papi…that’s why our front office got suckered into offering him a sweet free agent contract.
Randy Velarde had his power years in Oaktown, after being a Halo. Turnblow got better when he left the Halos and became a closer in “Mil-e-waukee.” Joyner juiced up when he was in Stan Diego. Glenallen Hill was already DONE when he was a halo. Valdez? Really? How long was he a Halo? About as long as Raul Mondesi. LOL!
Your post was wrong on so many levels. Troy Glaus, yep, guilty as charged. Jose Guillen, meh, his absence allowed your team to walk to the ALCS in ’04. You should be thanking him for his roid-rage! ;)

Good Pitching Will Win Over Just Hitting
The Angels woes can be traced to lack of pitching consistency. When it matters most, the pitchers cannot hold the other team down. In contrast, the other teams are holding the Angels hitters down. One can easily say that the Angel hitters are not doing their job but, I disagree. The reason they are not doing good as of late is the pitchers of the other teams have picked up their game and it gets harder in the playoffs. In the playoffs, it doesn’t matter what the score is. When two pitchers are battling and both pitching well, it goes down to who has his stuff at the end where it matters. A lot of the playoff games are low scoring games. So, Angels pitchers have to pick up their game and NOW!

Cant disagree more
Rev man this one must have hurt bad. You kind of remind me of the frail kid in the school yard that keeps getting picked on, and all the frail kid can do is yell insults back.
The last two post regarding the game and out come have been blamed on the fact that the Angels are being railroad and its a conspiracy. Nothing worse then those that don’t take blame for there shortcomings. Angels haven’t played well and have had some of there holes exposed.
The players that you mention are and will be part of the roster for the Red Sox come October and like it or not the Angels will have to find a way to beat the BastardBoSox if and when they should meet. Let be serious with the steroid thing when it comes to D. Bard. He has been throwing that heat since he was in HS (drafted by NYY). Papelbon is the same way as well. I mean its not the first time he has been in that velo range. I am surprised you didn’t include Wagner in your rant as well Rev. He was 94-97 with the FB. As for Pedroia all I can say is I remember a young 1B in 1986 that played for the Angels and had less hair then Pedroia is sporting. Then again he was found to be a PED user later on wasn’t he……
So I say its time for the frail kid to hit someone in the mouth or kick’em in the balls, but don’t just stand there and cry blaming all those around you.

Doesn’t make sense anyway, as Canseco is over 40 with a full head of hair.
But the dude on the Red Sox is named P.E.D.-Roid-a. Good enough for me.

Lackey
Lackey pitched well tonight, but made a costly error and that was the game. I love to watch Lackey when he is pitching, he battles. I remember posting 2 months ago, that we have a tough road trip in sept to NY, Boston and Texas.
Way it looks now, I hope we win at least two before we go home.
Id also like to see Wood and Howie get some at bats the next two days, need a shake up, our offense disappeared this month, Shut out a couple times, and we have had games were we only have scored one run. Two games in KC we went scoreless through 7 innings and then scored in the 8th where we won both of those games.
Texas is for real and could win the west.

Can One Opposing Team Expose a Manager?
So far when it has mattered most, In the Playoffs, the Red Sox have owned the Mike Scioscia coached Angels.
So what is it?
We are currently in a tight race and we are playing our potential playoff nemisis and so far, it’s the same results. It’s getting late in the season and the Angels should be extremely motivated to beat the team that takes them out of the playoffs, don’t cha think?
Scioscia is a Good Manager in an outstanding organization with grade A talent steadily rising up the ranks to the bigs.
I will give him credit for his 1st to 3rd “National League” style of baseball he has branded the Halos with. But tell me where all of the “Best Manager in Baseball” accolades are earned?
Scioscia is a model of consistency. Especially when it comes to the playoff results with the Red Sox.
Angels: Kings of the AL West. So do we have the talent to win the WS or Not?
When I'm not at the stadium, I'd rather be watching my Halos back in Costa Rica!

One of the Premier steroid-fueled teams...
" Former 2002 World Series MVP and four-time All Star Troy Glaus received multiple shipments of performance-enhancing drugs via a Florida pharmacy and a California anti-aging clinic, Sports Illustrated reported on its Web site Friday.
According to the report, a source in Florida with knowledge of the Internet pharmacy’s client list, said multiple shipments of Nandrolone, an anabolic steroid, and testosterone were sent to a Corona, Calif. address that corresponds with Glaus’ address. "
-—————————————————————————-
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/columns/story?columnist=bryant_howard&id=4081214
" The 2002 Angels, for example, are the legitimate champions of an illegitimate time, just as Bonds is the legitimate home run champion of a discredited era. Despite Angels manager Mike Scioscia’s adamant public stand against drugs, people around the game point privately to that club as one of the premier steroid-fueled teams thanks in part to a bullpen rife with career minor leaguers who suddenly began throwing in the mid-90s after their 30th birthdays.
Glaus was the MVP of that 2002 World Series, which is looking more and more like the definitive Steroid Series. Glaus, Brendan Donnelly and Schoeneweis, all of whom have been implicated, played for the Angels that season. "
" In a 10-year career, Glaus has earned an estimated $65 million. He is a World Series MVP and has a championship ring. He has never been fined a day’s pay or suspended for his steroid use. In perhaps a fitting epitaph, the Times reported Glaus told federal agents that he was “willing to take the risk” with steroids, a sentiment that truly speaks for itself. "

Why don't you think there was a huge public backlash over Ortiz?
The answer is because people are used to it now. Everyone knows that many of the baseballs best used steroids, and most know that a lot of the crappy players used too. Stop trying to act like your team was completely clean, and that the Sox won 2 WS solely because of steroid usage.

With a potential 4th Ace in the rotation for Boston, and a lineup that can feature JD Drew, (yes, the JD Drew that hit a 2 run homer off the all time single season saves leader in the top of the 9th in game 2 of last years ALDS), him batting in the 8th spot? Thats just not fair. Statistiacally the best bullpen in baseball, and playoffs is about pitching. Even uninformed, FoxNews loving, conservatives like yourselves all know its about pitching. You don’t score, you don’t win. 2009 World Series champs, the Boston Red Sox. Thats why Boston was voted titletown.
