Joe Saunders 7-Hit CG Beats A's

PrintFinal Score in Oakland: Angels 7, Athletics 1 ... Erick Aybar had 4 hits and 2 RBI, Juan Rivera also had a solo HR and another RBI on a clutch single when the game was close and Torii Hunter went 3 for 5 and got the scoring started with a bases loaded single in the 3rd inning. But the big story for the Angels was Joe Saunders. The Angels lefty allowed 7 hits in 9 strong innings. The reigning king of pitch to contact had 2 strikeouts in the game.
Saunders had to walk across Dallas Braden's mound in Oakland to do it, but that was no contest as the formerly perfect pitcher gassed out earl, throwing 92 pitches without getting out of the 6th inning. Saundo allowed 1 run in the 9th inning and ended the game with a ground out on his 101st pitch of the game.
Looming Questions:
- Is Hokie Joe the Elephant Killer in the Angels rotation? He had a complete game shutout in Anaheim in May over these same A's.
- Did one game of batting 9th stoke some sort of Jedi need to return with a vengeance in Erick Aybar? He is 9 for 17 form the lead-off spot since returning from his demotion in Seattle.
- Is a rested bullpen from tonight going to be an advantage with Ervin Santana going tomorrow afternoon?

Robb Quinland was clearly panther of the game
but if i had to choose a second place i have to go saunders
The Admiral was great,
But a CG and no BP, I voted Saunders.
YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARKSIDE.....
Saunders
Even do Aybar deserve some love, but mos def Sounders. Go HALOS
Just a note on the game summary-
Joe struck out according to my scorecard.
~Till the Halo burns out...
You know what, Slyntine beat me to it anyway, I can't detect sarcasm worth a damn
Screw it. Angels win, I’m getting some sleep. Stupid day shift.
~Till the Halo burns out...
8-2
on this road trip. gotta love this. Angels baseball is back
The Colonel just served us up a whole plate-load of tender, white meat A's!
Panther!
All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I'm fine.

Classic. Poor guy is going to get ribbed relentlessly.
I thought his nose might be broken at first.
It was definitely bleeding when he was up to bat.
THIS… IS… ANAHEIM!!

Q had some nice hitting and some nice glovework.
I have no idea why Roenicke sent him home on that one play.

This victory was made possible by autry's cowboys baby Weston
There’s no better way to come into this world than with a Halos WIN!

The birth of another angels Fan
it is a beautiful thing.

No games on when I was in labor the last two times,
March and December, and no tvs in the labor/delivery rooms the first time, 40 years ago. I kind of wasn’t in the mood, but Henry Aaron did something big while I was in labor.
I did watch SNL with the middle kid after she was born, 30 years ago.
THIS… IS… ANAHEIM!!
Weston. So they had a boy?
I hope so, not a great girl’s name.
I found his announcement that she was in labor, but I didn’t find the results, and it’s late, and I’m like GA.
THIS… IS… ANAHEIM!!
GA isn't lazy opiejeanne.
He’s just very relaxed. And Weston could be a girls name, don’t forget, John Wayne’s real name was Marion.
YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARKSIDE.....
Marion IS a boy's name.
Spelling for a girl is Marian, and variations thereof. Just like Jean and Jeanne are girl names (in English) Gene is the boy spelling. (In France, Jean is a boy’s name)
And yes, people name their kids all sorts of stuff, but I was thinking Traditionally, and in that fairytale land little girls are not named Madison or Steve.
THIS… IS… ANAHEIM!!
Ok
Humor meter broken by plumbers.
It’s the bidding process that has made me nuts. One guy whose secretary told us $50 to give us an estimate on a leaky drain pip in the crawl space demanded $300 to go under the house. What part of " main drain in the crawl space" doesn’t imply “under the house”? He claimed it was a technical term that his secretary wouldn’t understand, that it was up to him, the professional, to set the price, then insisted that every other plumber who came to give a bid would demand $300 to go under the house. (We had just had 3 plumbers give us bids on the cabin, for free, went under the house and everything.)
That was yesterday. We did not give him $300 and he did not get the job.
Guy #2 wanted $35 for the estimate, sure, fine, we can deal with that. He gives us a price, we’ve got another plumbing estimate coming this afternoon, and they want to know how they can get the job TODAY. We set a price, they squirm a little, and they come up with a price of $1450 to do the drain and run a new service to the house in order to install a shutoff valve, because no one can find it. Ok, the guy leaves, I call plumber #3 to cancel and they start telling me that he used to work for them, he’s a crook, etc.
my head hurts.
we call and get the plumbing license number for the guy we’ve hired, it checks out, still legal, etc. No complaints against them at the BBB, etc, so we go ahead, Dig ug the rose bush in the way of the shutoff valve project and TADAH! found the shutoff valve. Call them back, tell them they need to revise the contract, and the guy only wants to take off $150 off the $350 original estimate. I tell him no, I will only pay $150 for that, he squirms but gives in. I know deep down that we are still getting effed but I can live with the final bill of $1150.
I think I need to lie down now.
THIS… IS… ANAHEIM!!
Did that sound snarky?
Sorry, didn’t mean to be snarky. Dealing with plumbers, OMFC.
THIS… IS… ANAHEIM!!
Dealing with plumbers can be a pain in the rear

Actually DAD is much further ahead doing it backwards. Losing 7 is better than losing 4000.
I'm not as bad as all of you.
Except for the one time
He had the correct guess and (thought he) bet 2000, missed out on 20,000 + whatever he bet for that game.
Alternate red Angel jerseys FTW!!
Oh no!!!! 44FAN is turning into CLIPPY!!!!!
It looks like you’re posting a pregame pick! Would you like some help?

Great game.
I’m looking forward to facing the dodgers though. Should give us more of a fight than KC and the M’s.

Playing on the road at the latrine....
Will be very, very interesting. If you’re a Halo fan attending these games, bring a shank, and be prepared to use it. Or in the very least, don’t piss off the natives. This BTW is sarcasm, i’m not advocating violence.

bring a mexico soccer jersey and all will be forgiven until they get a few beers in ’em.

good catch, thanks
Must have poker on my mind, “betting” 9th is often great position.

Anyone else wish that 'dondo didn't hurt himself
and didn’t act like a bitch when the team asked him to train in Arizona—and not the freaking Dominican Republic—so he’d have the option of joining the club around the playoffs.

You mean
the same ’dondo who had control issues on par with evil Shields?
Alternate red Angel jerseys FTW!!
didn’t he have control issues because he was hurt?

The Admiral outranks the Colonel
And who is this Earl that Saundo gassed out?
I am fan various years ago.
