Angels Greatest Week Confirms a Contender

At 9:50 PM on Thursday, August 18 the Angels were three outs away from being 8 games behind the Texas Rangers and facing a rested Mike Adams.
At 9:54 PM that night, the Angels were 6 games behind the Rangers. Torii Hunter had singled to lead off the bottom of the 9th with the Angels down 1-0 and Mark Trumbo hit a two-run walk-off homerun. It took the centerfield firework operator a few seconds to overcome his own disbelief and confirm the feat. Trumbo was rounding 2B before Terry Smith declared his homerun a fact on the radio. Up in section 538 I turned to MayhemInTheHood and said the first three words of the original Star Wars Trilogy "A New Hope".
And for the record, Trumbo's big hit came on Rally Gnome Bobblehead night.
Prior to Friday's game the unbelievable announcement that Mike Trout might get more playing time and that the Angels' catching situation would be based on getting more offense out of that position shook the team's twittering nerdcore fanbase to the delighted bone. Texas beat the Chicago White Sox on Friday, but we maintained the pace as Dan Haren survived a barrage of hits and Torii Hunter blasted two homeruns.
A disastrous late-inning collapse featuring Jordan Walden blowing his 9th Save and an extra-inning disaster with Fernando Rodney allowing in his inherited baserunners in the bottom of the twelfth inning made the euphoria of the last two days dissipate as it seemed the Angel would not be able to take advantage of Texas losing just their second game of the past six. But the Angels rallied for three runs capped by a Bobby Abreu walk-off Sac Fly and the Angels were five games behind the Rangers 50 hours after almost being eight games back. A silver lining was a serviceable Joel Piñeiro start. The tarnish on the halo was that Scott Downs had pulled his hamstring in the bullpen warming up and would be considered day-to-day in availability.
Sunday afternoon gave Angels fans a shocking treat: A dominant outing by journeyman lifer Jerome Williams pitching in place of a slew of Halo arms that just could not rise to the occasion. Having won the series, the Mike Scioscia philosophy of easing up paid off: The Angels won 7-1 and Texas gave us a game in the standings with another loss. We were back to where we had been the past Monday: four games behind the Rangers despite a disastrous three in a row losing steak to them on Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday. But the Angels' week had begun Thursday night and a few hours after Sunday's game word leaked from Scott Boras mouthpiece John Heyman that Jered Weaver had agreed to a contract extension. It was an unimagined hometown discount. The euphoria of the news, confirmed on Monday, took the sting out of Texas beating the Red Sox in Arlington that evening, adding a half game to their division lead.
Tuesday saw a fan-inclusive press conference stadium press conference confirm Weaver's loyalty to the franchise and the fans. Ervin Santana pitched eight innings but allowed Paul Konerko to tie the game at 4-4 in the 8th. Jordan Walden pitched a solid ninth inning and got the W when the Hot-dog crew of Erick Aybar and Alberto Callaspo had clutch moments enough to let Peter Bourjos collect the glory with a walk-off single. The deficit was trimmed to three and a half games when the Chowdz evened their series against Texas.
And to top it off, it was Rally Monkey Chia Pet night at the stadium. Green Head Fur for October anyone?
Jered Weaver cruised to an easy victory over the White Sox on Wednesday and was removed with an 8-0 lead after 96 pitches through 7 innings because Mike Scioscia had done what he denies he would ever do: he watched the scoreboard. Texas lost to Boston, the deficit was going to be two and a half games and Weaver pitching on three days rest became the worst-kept secret in Anaheim since day you discovered that those were robots and not real pirates on that one ride at the theme park down the street.
As the clock ticked toward the completion of one full week tonight, the news on Downs is that he has improved and can pitch this weekend. Meanwhile, Texas wilted to a Chowd rookie's 3-hitter and the Angels were two games behind the Suburban Dallas Cowgirls as they taxied on the DFW runway.
So... was that a pretty good week or what? From staring an 8-game deficit straight into its eyes to lining up the rotation so that the best arms can go into Arlington and push beyond our current 2-game deficit. The more you ignore us the closer we get.

To be honest, I believed that, too.
If the Halos don't care about the way they play, then why should I?
for me, being honest, I never had that feeling.
It must have been bcuz he had mentioned early in the season in an interview something in the likes of “…the player has the final say…”
When he said that, my mind didn’t want to even picture him elsewhere.

So was that a Vern, or Jeff, K? Well it can’t either, because you said “beautiful swing”.
Gap has that whole (Red) campaign
where certain products have a very similar wording and design around the word “Red” where a portion of their profits are given to AIDS programs. They probably wouldn’t be too pleased with someone selling a similar looking product and not doing so, but that’s just my guess.
wasn't sure how they were involved
I remember all kinds of brands somewhat doing that RED thing. Thanks for the for the info.

No it's not
All 3 GS were hit to RF and the one Russell Martin hit would have been a lazy flyout in any other stadium
Looked to me like the Granderson and Cano ones were legit
The Martin Slam is only a grand slam in that bandbox.
Although it still would have been a double in Angels Stadium
He hit it pretty hard.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
Still wouldn't have been a GS though
it barely cleared the wall and if that happened in just about any other stadium there would be no celebration of this “accomplishment”. It’s just annoying to see Granderson with such a ridiculous numbers this season, there has to be some way to normalize his totals over the season for HR neutral parks.
It would be great if someone did that
and come out with the results saying in a neutral park (i.e. a REAL baseball stadium with legit dimensions) Granderson would have 15 HRs.
Hopefully this helps spur some uniformity with outfield dimensions.

He has 16 hr's on the road.
People really overestimate how much he is benefitting from Yankee Stadium.
It’s the swing change, not the park.
"I have one word for you...Be careful."
-Jose Guillen
Granderson has been an absolute monster this year.
He completely changed his swing at the end of last year, started finishing with both hands instead of one. It’s the swing, not the park.
Very similar to what Jose Bautista did at the end of 2009 (hit 10 HR in September before hitting 54 last year).
I dislike that stadium’s cheap HRs too. But he is not a huge benefactor. Has 16 HRs on the road and 20 at home. Just a different player.

I agree with turs12
It should be noted that the MFY hit three flyout Grand Slams.

Gimme a cigarette
I remember being a 20 year old
punk kid in 1979, being comsumed by the excitement, the possibility of the Angels being relevent, playing for more than pride this time of the year. I remember the excitement of 2002, watching the A’s and Angels zooming past the Mariners, grinning as the A’s fans were whining how their team couldn’t shake the Angels off their tails as they were winning 20 of 21 (somethiing like that). This is the same excitement.

To quote The Wolf in "Pulp Fiction," and as it applies to Rangers Nation:
“Well, let’s not start sucking each other’s dicks quite yet. " This season is far from over!
"I'm Tony Reagins. People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks. Years later, a doctor will tell me that I have an I.Q. of 48 and am what some people call mentally retarded."
And in News of the Weird, The Bleacher Report just picked up $22 million in funding from venture capitalists
I don’t often quote Dodger bloggers, but Mike Petriello absolutely nailed it tonight with his combined take-down of that titty-site-masquerading-as-a-baseball-blog and why serious websites like this exist:
“They have partnerships in which their content appears on the sites of the Los Angeles Times and plenty of other large outlets. The common fan sees this garbage in the wrapper of a respected paper and they think it’s real. They think it’s journalism, when really it’s just the misinformed ramblings of an in-way-over-his-head intern. And that’s why sites like this will always exist – because sites like that will always exist.”

Here's a question:
Would you rather the Angels won their division in a big comeback fashion as they will certainly do this year OR
Would you rather they cruise to an early lead and never let up a la 2008? I’m picking the latter for my stomach’s sake but this is pretty bitchin’ as well.
He travels fastest who travels alone.
I think that teams that have to play well up to the end of the season tend to perform better in the playoffs.
I recall the 100 win Angel team that laid an egg in the playoffs. The Giants had to fight to the last day of the regular season last year and rode the wave all the way through.

My initial instincts were that was from the Hollywood Backlot Brawl from Wrestlemain XII but that can’t be right because the logo was different back then and Golddust was driving a gold Cadillac and Roddy Piper was in a Bronco. That must be from some episode of Monday Night Raw that filmed there, or possibly a replay from Wrestlemania 2000 shown on one of the USA shows but I’m not sure about that since I had stopped watching wrestling by then.

The Psalm of Trumbo
Mark Trumbo is our first-baseman, we lack nothing.
He mashes the baseball deep into the green pastures,
he leads the team through Wells and Mathis induced droughts,
he refreshes the soul of Angel fans everywhere.
He guides the team from ballpark to ballpark along the right paths
for winnings sake.
Even though TR’s decisions dumped the franchise into
the darkest valley,
Trumbo fears no Ranger,
for his bat is with him;
and his strength vanquishes the heathen LSB non-believers,
while Napoli’s posse comforts all who follow him.
The Ranger pitching staff loads the bases before him,
in the presence of their trailer-trash fans.
Trumbo anoints every belt-high fastball with the might of the wood;
and the celebration overflows.
Surely his Rookie of the Year performance will lead
the Angels to the AL West division crown,
and Trumbo will dwell in the house of Arte
forever.

The thing I love most about Scioscia
He is so damn steady. While all of us were redirecting our attention to the 2012 season on Wednesday, he remained confident that the team could turn this around. I know that Scioscia often is criticized for speaking in platitudes, but I think that his calm and steady demeanor is one of the things that makes him a truly great manager. Here is his money quote from last week, as reported by mlb.com:
“A week ago we were looking right up at these guys,” Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. “We were within striking distance, but we’ve had a rough six or seven games that carried over from that trip into this series. But it can turn in a heartbeat. And that’s what we have to keep our focus on — how we play the game.”
by Brody on Aug 26, 2011 7:34 AM PDT reply actions 1 recs
He may be steady, but he is much less intransigent than he has been in the past.
Recently, it’s benching Mathis, platooning Wells, and brining up Conger and Trout. He’s also moved Bourjos to the top of the line-up, moved Trumbo up to the middle, and DH’d others at times when it was necessary. These have all benefitted the team immensely.

You—like the Halos—appear to be on an epic roll.
The quote from one of your articles (about the lameness of the East Coast and all) that appeared in the SBNation posting about the Halos recently, just totally blew all the other quotes away. You are like the Jello Biafra of sports blogs.
