Angels Win is Dan Haren First as a Halo

Final Score in Anaheim: Angels 3 ... Royals 1
Dan Haren pitched 7 strong innings of 1-run ball, threw 103 pitches and struck out 3 Royals for his first win wearing a halo. Bobby Abreu scored 2 runs, 1 on a Sac Fly by Hideki Matsui that would have been a HR in Yankee Stadium and later in the game on an Eric Aybar Triple. Peter Bourjos laid down a squeeze bunt that scored Howie Kendrick from 3B. Jason Kendall just could not field the ball, tagging the runner with an empty glove. On the next pitch Whiskey Pete tried to steal 2B and was out by less than an inch... on a pitch out. It was actually pretty awesome.
The Royals managed 5 hits off of Haren but none off of Fernando Rodney and Brian Fuentes, suddenly in a groove with the Hold-Save combo. If it is not enough to get one's hopes up about catching the Arlington Cokesnorters this season, it is at least a glimmer of hope for a waiver wire trade deal or a head start into 2011 dominance.

Finally Haren gets his long deserved W
Abreu is outpreforming my leadoff expectations and i think he could very well be an awesome leadoff man for the remainder of his contract. Things are finally clicking for the halos but lets hope its not to late!

Who'd of thunk it?
Getting that hustle-double in the 1st and actually being a tablesetter for the lineup.
Alternate red Angel jerseys FTW!!
The guy had 30 steals last year..
and 16 so far this year. He’s not that slow.

Did you guys read the article where TJ Simers ripped apart The Control Freak?
A.k.a., Mike Scioscia.
I've got nothing.
Oh that TJ, he's so edgey.
He should really use “Parking Lot Attendant” in more of his articles.. that never gets old.

I heard yesterday he said he should be back
the 1st week of Sept

My mistake
So instead of a return in the first two weeks of Sept, this puts it at mid-Sept (at best) to just in time for the last series against Texas.
Anyway, weren’t you banned on this site?

At the very end...
…of this article (written Monday, 8/9), it says he is gearing up for a return the first week of September.
thats what i said last night in the above comment
Biggsy played a clip of the interview on monday. but it seems nobody reads my posts. :(

Don't feel too bad....
…after all, it’s the Information Age, and many of us are overwhelmed by the amount of stuff we peruse on a daily basis. It doesn’t always “stick”, especially considering it was repeated many times that Pineiro would be gone 6-8 weeks. I too, thought he’d be gone for the rest of the season.
thanks
I really don’t feel bad, I was being sorta sarcastic.

That's what I had heard too.

We should have kept him.
One big difference from being a play-off team to one that wins the World Series.
Let me finish that sentence for you: is steroids.

I was referring more to the current crop of winners than to Mr Glaus,
but sadly I kind of think he’s in there too. I don’t know if it was after he left us or while we had him.
THIS… IS… ANAHEIM!!
I know my brain is totally fried by the combination of a Halos win & Sam Adams double bock
but I’m really starting to think we might actually catch up with the Rangers!
All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I'm fine.
you never know!
a TX loss tonight woulda been nice

Took me a while to comprehend this...
she’s still haunting us by taking Teix out of the lineup when we need him to beat the Rangers.
I love this team.
