Hideki Matsui Rings in Angels Deja Vu

that was 5.5 months ago.

are great at hitting homeruns in the 9th inning.

He was only in the 91-92 mph range. Ervin needs to be at 94-95 mph in order to be effective. At least he notched seven Ks.

I should get 100x the points for guessing he would have that last hit!!

Hunter’s defense in CF was embarrassing. I hold him personally responsible for 3 of the Yankees runs. On top of which he stunk it up at the plate and failed when we needed him most.

Bulger managed to enter a non-stressful, somewhat close game. But managed to walk a batter, throw a wild pitch and give up 2 runs before recording an out.

On a brighter note, Woody looked good today.

There was no excuse for walking Tex, none. Those two runs are on Bulger, not Santana, I don’t care what the official scorebook says.

So other than what you guys tell me, I have no way of knowing Hunter played poorly in center, following on Yahoo just tells me if something was a hit.

Since the corner outfielders are no gold glovers either, this is a big problem. To get the defense to where it can help our pitchers, we may need Peter Bourjos in center sooner rather than later. Then move Torii to a corner, and Rivera probably becomes trade bait.

I still have Carl Crawford’s catch yesterday fresh on my mind. He ran full speed and made a diving catch into the gaps with a runner on 1st. The runner had to retreat. There was a single later in the inning, but nobody wound up scoring. Had Juan Rivera been out there he would have run towards it, then chased it to the wall, runners on 2nd and 3rd at best, and they would have later scored on a single.

Now Crawford, Bourjos, and Hunter would be a great defensive OF. And gives us back some speed on the bases so we could play Angels baseball again. I’m not a fan of the slow footed, wait for the homer offense I’ve been watching lately. Didn’t work for Oakland a few years ago and not working for us. The Freakin A’s have learned from being beaten by us so often and are now a running team. While we have turned into what we once hated.

God Bless

As for the questions about Hunter, I haven’t been impressed with his range since we signed him. He’s about league average at best these days. I don’t buy into the gold glove hype, and I doubt our pitchers do either at this point.

Bulger got lit up to begin last year, at least it’s not grand slams this year.

The team is in desperate need of a starter putting up zeroes and going deep into a game.

……Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

“Angels reserve OF Reggie Willits (hamstring) should be activated from the 15-day disabled list on Wednesday,” according to AP.
“Activated” to play where?

We Still Have the ALL STAR GAME and trAdition !

They went on to win 97 games….

;-)

But I’m sure as hell not happy right now. WTF, Halos?

so, while disappointed, I am not going to freak out. The Halos will come back with a vengeance in May. As Raspucia said in “Norbit” : BRING IT, BITCHES!

during the player introductions they played the Star Wars force theme songs.

Us getting the “Dark Side” theme, and the Skanks getting the “Rebel” one.

We need to win NOW

I did however Tivo it, a couple of positives, B Wood did alright, unfortunately that ball he hit to RF was right at Swisher, if that boy didn’t have bad luck, he wouldn’t have any luck. And we did manage to score some runs, a little too late in the game to affect the outcome, but still positives nonetheless. And it is still early in the season. God i’m tired of saying that. We’ll get ’em tomorrow.

Some of you are seriously twisted fan members.
