Joe Saunders Dominates Yankees as Angels Win 90th

PrintFinal Score in Anaheim: Yankees: 2, Angels 5 ... The Angels Magic Number is Now 6. The earliest that they can clinch the American League West is Friday.
"See you fools in two or so weeks..." could have been the message sent by the shrug of Angels pitcher Joe Saunders as he walked off the mound two outs away from a complete game victory. Saunders told Jose Mota after the game that his team getting runs in the first inning made him much more relaxed.
The 5 runs scored by the Angels tonight each came from different Angels: back-to-back doubles in the 1st inning by Valdimir Guerrero and Torii Hunter, a base hit with a man on 2nd by Erick Aybar in the 5th, a pinch-hit Solo HR by Kendry Morales in the 7th and a deep double in the bottom of the 8th with a man on by Juan Rivera. Heading into October, it is great to see more than just singles scoring baserunners. These guys are not just waiting for the other team's defensive floodgates to open.
The Yankees scored on two solo homers: one by Alex Rodriguez in front of his father in law, Snake Plisken, and the other a pinch hit HR by Hideki Matsui - coincidentally The Morales and Matsui homers were each the first ever pinch hit homeruns by both players.

that's not fair
Kurt Russel is awesome

Way to say it Hokie Joe.
Wants to see more Angel fans and fewer Skank fans.

Hokie Joe was fantastic
Gave me a scare in the second inning when Mike and the trainer came to visit. Any word on what happened?
Great win! Joe makin his case to start. But WTF? anyone else think Fuentes sucks?
I realize he leads the league in saves, but who actually wanted him to come into the game?

any runs allowed?

So do you love him or what?
Thats what I am wondering. I actually hope a lot of you out there still have faith. That will help me sleep easier come October.

love him?
no. But he’s a serviceable closer that I have faith will get it done 85-90% of the time. Remember Frankie shitting the bed against BoSux?
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
i mean its what we have
I don’t love him but I’m not complaining. I just hope they perform well in the playoffs.

Right...
if Fuentes from May/June shows up in October – we’ll be fine. If not, Scioscia will ride the hot hand….
Right?
Jepsen, right?
God, I hope so….
RIP Nick...

was going to ask that
For someone to get a pick of the new LED lit Big A. Is that it?
Also I didn’t know that the modern A on top of the scoreboard is not lit except after a win. It stays dark until after.
well the scoreboard is still old and I think
they will not replace it until after the season is over…along with the led lights.
If you look at the photos in the earlier scoreboard thread
…it looks like the LEDs are already installed. There was a shot of the side of the halo, and there were clusters of lights, looking much like the LED stoplights but in a clear finish.

Saturday, please.
See: first pitch, throwing out the.
But OK I won’t complain if it comes Friday. At least no Yankees fans there for those games either way.
Let's do this for Nick Adenhart, Courtney Stewart, and Henry Pearson.

Great win tonight! Way to shove it!
Glad to see our starters kicking some more ASS. Over at pinstripe alley they are bitter towards the most overrated glorified manager, Griardi. They want him fired for having the best record, lol.
First we had a Salmon and now we have a Trout, let's see the same results.
That's funny. What a bunch of twats

also according to them
“sanders” was not pitching that well…cause his 5.xx era means he sucks…
the skanks were not hitting very well.
Similar echoes re: Scioscia all season on the MLB forum.
As in, “oh no, we lost again! We’ll never win another game! Arrrggghhh!” when a look at the recent record would show 8 wins out of the most recent ten games.
THIS… IS… ANAHEIM!!
You know after this season
I will never ask for Mike Skeeosha to leave. He is the best manager in baseball and does it without publicity or recognition. Soth for Manager of the Year!

And who is that guy playing 1B for the Yankees?
Seems vaguely familiar. Might have taken the big money to get his ass kicked by the Angels in every game that means everything. Eat shit, U-Haul.
Don't call me Desmond!
Kurt Russell for Panther???
“Escape From LA” sucked and the Yankees aren’t going to.

Love Kurt (Big Trouble was awesome)
But it has to go to Saunders.
Here is an observation that might cook some noodles: Q goes to the playoffs as our backup 1st baseman. Else – someone else, can’t remember his name, wood have played 1st base today.
Angel Pitching, Angel Defense - get past that.
Joe was Outstanding
He pitched a great game, with the exception of that single he gave up to Rodriguez in the 9th – costing him a chance at the complete game and me a point in the Pre Game Picks.
I was able to watch the game last night, a rarity for me on the east coast. Saunders was keeping the Yankees off balance last night, pitching well,
The only downside, was Fuentes. He got the outs, but he scared the crap out of me in doing it.
We're putting the band back togehter.
This is the SIXTH time this decade the Angels have won at least 90
They just missed another 90 win season in 2006 when they won 89 games.
In the 1990s the Angels had ZERO 90 wins seasons.
