Final Score in Baltimore: Angels 11, Orioles 2
Despite major setbacks in their pennant chase over the weekend, the Angels salvaged the final game of their three game series against the might Baltimore Orioles with eleven runs on fifteen hits. As promised, Manager Mike Scioscia started his ace, Jered Weaver, on three days rest, and the king of the hometown discount responded with a 6-inning, 97-pitch lesson in dominating everyone not named Vladimir Guerrero, the ex-Angel great being responsible for the 2 runs Weaver gave up.
Halo SS Erick Aybar drank from the Camden Yards Cal Ripken Fountain of Awesome before the game and went 4 for 4 with 4 RBI, 5 runs scored and 2 HR. Howie Kendrick was 3 for 5 with 3 runs batted in, RBI of course being a meaningless stat, isn't it great to feel so superior over a stat, except when your team bats in more runs than your opponent in an important game. Then it means everything in the world.
Two things to take away from today's game: FIRST... that is what place in the standing The Angels would be in if they Vlad Guerrero as a L/R platoon DH with Bobby Abreu. SECOND... Go Mariners!

I went Aybar, but tough decision!
We needed a good start, after the last two games!!

What's the tattoo on Weaver's upper left arm?
I’ve never noticed it before.

I got mad love for CSULB!
My sis is an alumn of CSULB!
And I love the city of LB!!!
"Hey where the white women at"?
where's the disrespect?
i’ve never heard a bad word about CSULB except when people call them a “bunch of dirtbags!”
Weaver wasn’t very smart anyway … in his “Before the Bigs” special, he talks about “passing” the SAT… Uh, can you FAIL the SAT?
I love this team.

Some of you don't know about the G thang baby...
It’s the smooth weaver filth that be drivin ya crazy
I think it's something related to his grandparents
I vaguely remember something about that when he first got it
Hopefully, the other players will find out that Napoli has been making it with their wives
and the team chemistry will melt down.
Now the question is, how do we tell them???
YES WE CAN!!!!
Or are we done? It is still very possible YES WE CAN to a King Felix W today.

Gotta give Panther to Jered.
He did one hell of a job today.

I actually remembered that about you.
It’s still a strange and wonderful place for us, but the rainy season lasted a little too long this year.
THIS… IS… ANAHEIM!!
We got quite a bit last night, I think
drizzled on and off during the day, and the sun came out for 20 minutes, but the sky was scary by early evening.
THIS… IS… ANAHEIM!!
Cool quick pitch by the other Jorel...Peralta fools Scutaro into poping to RF
one more douchebag out to go!
Matt Harrison is pitching for the Rangers.
I can’t see why they aren’t just beating him up.
THIS… IS… ANAHEIM!!
Mariners could get shut out by Kazmir with their offense

Last night's game was close, 7-6.
And the pitcher was someone I remember as being a bit tougher.
THIS… IS… ANAHEIM!!
speaking of Kaz…ya think he’ll go to the Dominican and get that stem cell treatment that Fat Bart had?
He just became the 5th pitcher
On the Rangers staff with at least 13 wins. First AL team to do that since 1977.

How can that be?
Mathis isn’t catching him!!!

The mariners picked a horrible time to not score any runs.

Opie...do you know what radio station M's are on when Hawks play...?
I’m having a brain cramp and need to do some work in the garage
apparently he died, I hadn't heard
Apologies

He did.
There is a big banner in Safeco Park honoring him. You never see it on tv because it’s above the broadcasters’ booths.
THIS… IS… ANAHEIM!!
He had a voice that I just couldn't stand
| mumble ¦ mumble ¦ Mathis ¦ mumble ¦ mumble ¦ Hatcher ¦ mumble |
I don't remember him
from broadcasting either the M’s or the Angels.
He is well-loved here.

I had no problem with the content, he just had a very grating voice

The put up a bronze statue in his honor just recently at the ballpark in Seattle.
"It's our money," owner Arte Moreno said.
Weaver has had a massive year
Has a shot at 20 wins. Would be first 20-game winner for Angels in 37 years (Nolan Ryan in ’74). With a decent offense behind him, WTY could be gunning for 25.
In 2005, Bartolo Colon had 20 wins.

They covered our backs the first night. Which was more than I expected.
If the Halos don't care about the way they play, then why should I?
I know
but they scored 6 runs last night, so why couldn’t they do that tonight? Waaahhhhh.
THIS… IS… ANAHEIM!!
Thinks for nothing assholes.

Well its obvious what needs to be e now.
The Angels need to win seven in a row before the Texas series. NO room for error obviously. MINIMUM six out seven. If they don’t at least do that. They are done.

They no longer control their own destiny
They need to pick up a game on Texas AND win their game in hand, which of course only means that they’ll have to sweep Texas just to force a one game playoff.
Looking pretty grim at the moment. They essentially have to go 10 – 1 the rest of the season (including a one-game playoff).
Defending maligned chants since 2009
I would look at it from two ways.
The stretch of seven games before the Texas series. And the series itself. Pick up as much ground possible by winning almost all games maybe lose one. Then see where you are after that series. If you are still in it great. We would just need to see if we are down 3, 2, or maybe even one at that point if we are still in contention.

2011 Halos
you were such a tease. I was warned about you, but you baited me along. Thank you Madam Scioscia, Arte will be proud of you.
When I'm not at the stadium, I'd rather be watching my Halos back in Costa Rica!
hey, bats
where the hell were you the last couple days!?!

Don't worry. If the past season is a good indicator...
They’ll go missing again soon.

There is no pleasing you guys. They won today. Jered won his 18th. It was a fun game, except for all the bitching about how much the Angels suck.
And if they manage to get into the playoffs it won’t be enough for you, you’ll bitch about it if they do any less than win the World Series.

awakening Angels bats
wait I thought the threat of necklacing Vernon Wells in center field was the reason for the improved offense; and what about going the distance with the dynamic-duo two man rotation of Weaver and Haren?
Beware!!
