Angels Doomed Early as Kazmir Doomed Often

PrintFinal Score in Anaheim: Angels 3, Rays 4
The only interesting or exciting moments of the Angels game tonight if you are an Angels fan was seeing Peter Bourjos play. Maybe laughing and cheering for a surprisingly competent Juan Rivera starting at 1B. Seeing Michael Kohn record a strikeout. Oh and the funniest thing in history - Hideki Matsui reaching 1B after striking out, funnier than any HBO comedy special since the passing of George Carlin except maybe the Louis Black one.
Seeing Sean Rodriguez succeed while Scott Kazmir failed was like a punch to the stomach. And for the record, if you still live with mom and dad, punches to the stomach are not good, no matter how many WWwhatever matches you watch.

On a much lighter note, our 2011 6-0 inning bullpen looks great
Michael Kohn – ERA 3.48
Francisco Rodriguez – 3.60
Kevin Jepsen – 4.18
Fernando Rodney – 3.91
"You play for Cleveland? I didn't know they still had a team." - Claire Holloway
"Yup, we've got uniforms and everything, it's really great!" - Jake Taylor
yes, although Kohn was very, very lucky tonight
owes Bourjos dinner without a doubt
All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I'm fine.

dont worry
Mike said Kohn pitched great, what a complete idiot. How does he keep his job?

Fleet Pete--owns the entire Angels highlight reel for this game
even the one he didn’t catch looked good
Seeing him tag running to third made me think ... PETER RABBIT
Dude was FLYING.
I love this team.

Mathis isnt a real baseball player, so he isn't blame worthy.
Torii for the blame.
What do you need a fancy suit for, Charlie, you ain't got no job to wear it to.
I still can't believe he only has 12 RBI's on the season.
12 RBI’s and he still gets the majority of PT behind the dish? WTF?
YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARKSIDE.....
that was the 1st 2 weeks too, lol

For the record 44,
I never drank the Mathis Kool-aid. Not after the ALCS, or his hot start early in the season. Never. I figured by now he’d be where he belongs, Salt Lake or waived.
YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARKSIDE.....
Mike has been drinking the Mathis koolaid for years
ask him

here is the problem I have with Mathis
Mathis is clearly the better defensive catcher and if Iron Mike can be believed ( yeah I know not) defense at catcher is more important than hitting. Mike says it all the time ad naseum but when push comes to shove who plays? Napoli.
That’s the problem I have with Mike he deceives the media and fans and they all kiss his butt and never criticize him for Angel failures but have no problem giving him props when the Angels win. I would include this blog writers as drinking the Mike kool-aid. Not once have they asked him a relevant question or questioned his numerous stupid decisions.

you are awesome
I’m having a good time reading all of your idiotic posts, I really am.
so where to start with this one…hmmm. I see posts on this site all the time questioning Sosh’s methods. for instance, I saw some yesterday regarding Rivera at 1st. but since you joined the site 4 days ago I’m sure you can easily back up the notion that “Not once have they asked him a relevant question or questioned his numerous stupid decisions.” and I’m not sure the blog writers on this site have access to ask Sosh all these hardline questions you are demanding, this blog does not partake in the same access granted to a FSW reporter, believe it or not.
you saying that Napoli gets more playing time than Mathis is one of the stupider things you’ve said on this blog in your limited time on here. in fact, I would argue the exact opposite is true. and the fact that you are upset that in your head Mathis doesn’t play enough compared to Napoli is downright ridiculous.
keep posting though, perhaps one day one of your posts will have some hindrance of sense.

I know this person has since been banned.
But this is the first time I read your response to BDV on this current thread. But this was an interwebz bitch slap! You nailed his sorry ass 2pints!
YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARKSIDE.....
Funny.
The failure that is jeff mathis does not negate the failure that is mike napoli.
Stalk somebody worth a shit at baseball, chief.

Between Mathis or Napoli....
I’m taking Naps. While he may not be the best catcher around, he’s certainly Mathis’ equal, and has the potential to hit. Whereas Mathis has the potential to hit into a DP, pop-up, or K.
YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARKSIDE.....
Between Natty Ice and Pabst Blue Ribbon...
I’m taking Pabst.

Pabst is an underrated brew. ;)
But who am I kidding, i’ll drink Natty Ice in a pinch.
YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARKSIDE.....
True.
Between Rat Poison and PBR, i’ll take PBR.

Assuming ST 2011 starts in March 5th,
there’s 194 days left!

If only Peter had caught both balls we would have won
Kazmir = Nibbler BOTS
Most BOTG ever in one season goes to Kazmir

If only Kazmir and Torii had balls.
I love this team.

SBN LA Poll has a bug:
It won’t allow votes of a value of less than ten to be recorded.
;)
I love this team.
i always vote 100

man at this point that "stud" pitcher Scott kazmir could no hit us.
by Balls and Strikes on Aug 24, 2010 8:05 AM PDT up reply actions
I voted for Mathis.
Because damn. Can’t he do anything?
And really. Bourjos is the ONLY thing worth watching the rest of this year.
Any time you think you have the game conquered the game will turn around and punch you right in the nose.
Mike Schmidt
There's plenty we can watch
We can see how many guys we can get into the lineup below the Mendoza line w/over 100 AB’s, we can see if Napoli can actually strike out 1/3 of his AB’s for the season(30%,Almost there Mikey!), bet to see how many wild pitches Shields can throw in an inning. The list just goes on and on!
