PrintFinal Score in Minnesota: Angels 9 Twins 3
Climbing back from a 3 run deficit, the Angels beat the Twins handily outdoors on the road on Saturday afternoon. CF rookie Peter Bourjos hit his first major league HR and drove in 4 runs. The Angels had 16 hits and even 1-5 Jeff Mathis hit a triple and took a strike from Bourjos for a dramatic bang-bang assist at the plate.
Starter Trevor Bell threw 97 pitches but could not make it out of the 5th inning, allowing reliever Francisco Rodriguez (not the in-law beater) to pick up his first major league win. Frankie 2 tossed 2.2 scoreless innings.
Texas took a nosecandy holiday and lost, so the Angels are 7 back with 38 games to play. So the playoffs either begin 38 games from now, 200 games from now or 362 games from now.

Alternate red Angel jerseys FTW!!

Thank god for highlights. Forte Pete for Panther.

I guess i'm the lone vote for Rodriguez.
While Bourjos had a career day, hopefully the first of many, it was very nice to see the BP come in and do its job. Especially considering Rodriguez had quite a few chances to blow the game, but he held on, so Rodriguez for POTG.
YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARKSIDE.....
I agree he did well
but I’d have a hard time voting for him based on how he started his 2nd inning. 7 straight balls with a 4 run lead to start an inning.
Agree about the second inning...
after ball 7, I readied my adult diaper for my usual Angel game movement.
I love this team.

I know what you're saying MH,
But given the play of our BP, and how badly everything went last night, it was nice to see Rodriguez pull through, as opposed to implode. And Bourjos did have one hell of a day!

You got me brotha. I'm a troll.
But keep it on the down low. I’m actually a M’s fan that is trying to bring down the Halos from within. Next step, steal some underpants! ;)
YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARKSIDE.....
Good to see Peter with the breakout performance...
Now is OPS is .550.
The road to respectable continues.
WTF
I didn’t turn off the Halos audio feed and it goes to Raiders pre-game football? what the hell is up with that/

Maybe this year too
If Texas continues to tumble and we can muster an 8 game winning streak or something like that.

Let's start with a 2-game winning streak.
one game at a time. ; )
I love this team.
by Downing Rules on Aug 21, 2010 7:16 PM PDT up reply actions
No kidding
8 games? This team is lucky if it can scratch out 8 hits in a game most nights. Relax! Watch for Pete to be batting cleanup after his power display. Sosh is crazy that way.
He hit a homerun. He'll be on the bench tomorrow.
Angels baseball. We do what we must, because we can -- HaloDutch
I was lucky enough to witness this HR in the flesh
What took Joe Mauer nearly 3/4 of the season to do, Peter did in 2 days.
For those who haven’t been, Target field is exceptionally nice, and the Twins fans are a classy bunch.
by Of Angels and Angles on Aug 21, 2010 5:49 PM PDT reply actions
Voted for Peter
But I would have considered Mr Hustle Matsui today as a 2nd or 3rd option
Just got home from the game
Major sunburns but damn Fleet Pete and the Halos made it worth it! Great game. Also Target Field is a great venue in person.

trevor bell needs to learn how to throw a strike.
What do you need a fancy suit for, Charlie, you ain't got no job to wear it to.
Maybe he'd have better luck at a bowling alley?

Just curious...
Any news on Matt Palmer coming back. Been pitching well for SL.

Nice game by the Angels
Pitching only gave up two singles after the first inning. Offense came on strong to erase an early deficit.
This is a good example of a team who hasn’t given up. If they won’t give up, we shouldn’t give up either.
Pedro for POTG.
Go Angels.
Angel Pitching, Angel Defense - get past that.
Given up
if they can put together a string of solid games, not even wins, then I’ll believe they haven’t given up. Until then, this win one lose one pattern means nothing. Over/under on the next team meeting anyone? Players only or coaches?

I'm still waiting. . .
for someone to open a new fan post on the amazing Peter Bourjos, how’s he’s arrived, how he’s the real thing, how he’s the best thing since Nutella. Haven’t seen one yet. Will it come?
You miss those 29 posts?
You are soooo late.

I'm not getting my hopes up just yet.
If we can get within five games by the end of the month, I’ll start to have a little hope.
Until then, we are just a .500, mediocre team.
I've got nothing.
Arizona natives FTW!
Go Pistol Pete!
You've been Bourjos'd!
RIP Nick Adenhart.
