Scioscia & Rodney Collude to Sink the Angels 6-5 vs. Yankees

Star-divide

Tyler Chatwood did his job keeping the Angels close.  Chatwood's biggest hiccup was the 2 run bomb by Granderson in the 6th inning. Chatwood finished the game with one strike out and two earned runs.  

Pre1_medium 

The Soth, acting like Merlin, pulled a rabbit out his Halo hat and brought in Fernando Rodney.  Rodney got the batter out and the Angels got out of the inning; keeping the game tied.  Rodney is like the band Bush; they had a hit single, but they were never good and neither was/is Rodney.  Apparently, the Soth loves that song and had it on repeat on his iTunes playlist.  Let's play the Rodney song again the next inning...  Why Mike why!  You pulled the rabbit out the hat and we were all pleased that Rodney got the one out; but to bring him out again.  Holy heck!  It is like when your buddy plays that Phil Collins song "I Can Feel It in the Air Tonight" over and over. Ok, cool, I get it the first time, but not over and over.  

Mike, you are a stubborn manager.  Rodney sucks, Mathis sucks. Please stop handicapping this team with your stubbornness and play the best lineup.

We scored three runs in the 9th. I stopped watching after the 8th. Freaking Izturis!!!

BOTG Fraudney for me.

I know if Izzy makes the play, all is well.
But the fraudster can’t just walk the entire lineup and shouldn’t be in any close games.
We can survive an Izzy error, especially if it’s only a 2 run shot without the walks – we still win the game.

I once saw Jeff Mathis get a base hit.

by Halo Hurricane on Aug 11, 2011 1:26 PM PDT reply actions  

I'll play that game.

We can survive the Fraudney walks, If Izzy doesn’t make that error there is no homer and we win this game. Fraudney is bad, but the inning is over if Izzy fields a little league grounder.

If Fraudney gets those guys out, there's no play Izzy needs to make.

But I understand that we win if he just makes the stupid damn play. Frustrating.

Well I'll be damned

That does not in the least reflect what I recall of those first three pitches or what the announcers thought of those pitches. But, whatever. This loss sucked. We gave up 2 runs in the 6th on an infield hit and a pop fly, and then 4 runs in the 7th on 2 walks, an error that should have ended the inning, and a home run. In other words, we gave up 6 runs when we should have given up 1.

The one to blame is Mike Shitcia

Of course your going to have fielding errors when you play a guy who plays a rarely as Mathis benches.

Of course your going to have a “reliever” who prefer to throw balls than strikes because his cap is crooked.

And of course your going to have a weaker line-up when your only all-star calibre is sitting on his arse once or twice a week.

So again, the one to blame is Mike Shitcia.

Completely agree

And it wasn’t his only mistake of the day either. Everyone makes an occasional error. It happens (although you hope not with two guys on and two outs in the 7th inning of a tied game). The reason I cannot forgive Izzy at all is he mentally was out of it the entire game. He failed to cover second earlier in the game on what should have been a double play. Thankfully Chatwood pitched out of it. And then after the error and the grand slam, he again failed to cover second on a ground ball to Aybar, almost leading to another runner reaching base safely. He was as bad as you can be at second base.

Speaking of Downs

He also deserves a good amount of blame. Not saying he deserves as much blame as Izzy or Rodney. It sucks to inherit three base runners that you are not responsible for. And I know he did his job by getting the strike out and the ground out to Izzy. But rather than pick up Izzy after the error, he served up a meatball that basically ended the game. If he even gives up just one or two runs, we are still in it.

The Blame(s) of the Game in order are:

1) RexTookMyStash for calling the two-run homer.
2) Izturis for bungling a grounder and brain-farting on a double play ball, both of which were followed by home runs.
3) Scioscia, for bringing Fraudney into the game (even the first batter he struck out was swinging at balls not even close to the strike zone)
4) Rodney, for his lameness

Strange moves?

Like what? I live in New York too, and I haven’t heard anything about this. Which is weird, because everyone knows everything here.

one last thing

It seems to me that for a long time now, if the Halos don’t get the big fish (FA) they settle with something else and it almost seems like they’re just trying to fill the gap. Maybe not always, but look at what they’ve done after letting Krod walk (and I think they were right to do that), but Fuentes and then Rodney.

Felt like that on the inside when Downs gave up that slam.

That was the best

He landed some 45 feet up the first base side after he was done.

Might have a real competitor to the Aybar dance of 2008

Haha...true. I couldn't find anything that said this chick was an actual Angels fan, other than lots of photos of her half naked, wearing Angels stuff.

T&A policy prevents me from posting a pic, but I’m sure you guys can find it on your own. She’s a looker.

I blame Howie....

his lack of offense lead to his day off, which lead to….How come our 2nd baseman can’t hit like that?

by bighig on Aug 11, 2011 4:59 PM PDT reply actions  

Why does Howie get a day off

when he sucks. And Vernon hasn’t, and he has sucked more.

Sit down Wells and let Howie play LF. Not much of a difference in defense anyway, but more hope for an offense.

It looked like Sosh and rodney collude to sink yankees 6-5 vs angels.

Sosh and Rodney colluding can only lead to one thing

disaster. Everytime I see that crooked hat walking toward the mound from the bull pen I scream out “Nooooo, ahhhh crap, what are you thinking ???? Nooooooo,”
