Final Score in Anaheim: Angels 10, Twins 6
With Bobby Abreu and Bobby Wilson on the bench, Bobby Cassevah threw 37 pitches in 2.2 innings of gutsy pitching in relief of Jered Weaver, the ace who has been sabotaged by his tired, worn out, has-been personal catcher Jeff Mathis. The Lyle M. Spencer -approved Angels catcher couldn't work his usual Cy Young CERA magic allowing 9 hits in 9 innings caught. But he was catching on three days rest, so you have an excuse to use for your next dose of published "analysis", Lyle).
The Angels ace allowed 6 runs on 8 hits in 5 IP. He walked 3 but struck out 7 Twinkies. Cassevah allowed 1 hit to the 9 batters he faced. After a long night of lousy relief pitching on Friday, the bullpen was no longer a misnomer, it delivered relief.
The bats were alive, as rookie Mike Trout had his first 3-hit game and rookie Mark Trumbo hit his first career grand slam early in the game. With cruddy Minnesota relief pitching in late, Peter Bourjos and Vernon Wells hit solo shots to add some cushion.

LIGHT UP THE HALO!!!!!!
Just Another Halos Victory!!!!!
If the Halos don't care about the way they play, then why should I?
Vernon wells, boring interview, fat piece of shit. PLAY TROUT - THE ONE
What do you need a fancy suit for, Charlie, you ain't got no job to wear it to.
So if on the last game of the season in a tie for 1st place Vernon Wells comes up with Trout on first base with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th. Down 4-3 he hits a walk off 2 run homer to win the west…do you forgive his shitty season?

All is forgiven, but it seems highly unlikely given the fact it is big splash.
Now that Lackey has turned to the enemy lets kick his ass

Not possible
Since Scioscia would never hit Trout ahead of Wells in the order.

potg bobby!
trumbo’s slam was good, but then he had that error and stuff.
bobby did great
i have a trumboner.
Trumbo gets the 2nd interview???
Who the hell books interviews for the postgame show? Are they a complete idiot??

What a freaking joke
Trumbo hits a slam and alls Angels postgame can talk about is Vernon Wells solo shot

In VerNONE's defense, his home run was the go ahead run that put the team ahead 7-6 and get Weave's 16th win

And if Trumbo doesn't hit his Grand Slam
Then Vernon’s hit means jack in the grand scheme of things.

The go ahead run Vern should have scored was when he got thrown out at the plate for being such a fat ass

I timed it
and it took Vernon roughly 11 seconds to get from 2nd to home on that play. Plus, that’s with a lead and then a secondary lead. Basically it took him 11 seconds to run 170 ft.

And it's too chore to score.

by Halo Hurricane on Sep 4, 2011 12:15 AM PDT up reply actions
110, not 170. 170 would be first to home.
If the Halos don't care about the way they play, then why should I?
Never mind. I had a brain fart and was thinking 60 feet between bases.

if 30 people were standing between the bases ...
there’d be 60 feet between the bases

I noticed tonight when mathis swings, he instinctively jerks the bat back, anticipating that he missed the ball
it is a pathetic swings to go with a pathetic performance

Reminds me of Ubaldo Jimenez...
Everytime Ubaldo pitches he flinches like a mofo…look it up lol

Love this
Mathis’ hitting can only be compared to pitchers!!!
In the long run men hit only what they aim at. Therefore, though they should fail immediately, they had better aim at something high.

Worried that Weaver gave it up as easily as he did but I blame Mathis for that.

Anyone see the auction for the game worn jerseys going on right now? Trout’s jersey is currently at a little over $1,200, while Wells’ jersey is at the starting bid of $250. Fyi, Trout’s jersey is the highest bid on item by about $300, with Weaver coming in second.
Weaver deserved this win
This makes up for those gems he pitched without run support!

FYI:
This time last year we were 7 games under .500 and in 3rd place….nice!

Vernon pisses me off too...
and I don’t want the guy starting over Trout, but I should mention that I think as Angel fans we want the guy to succeed since we’re probably stuck with him for another 3 years, at least his contract.
I’d prefer to see Wells post a somewhat realistic .800 OPS for the next 2 seasons and make contributions to help this team win. He’s our RF for the next couple years whether we like it or not. He’ll never justify his salary, but hopefully he plays well enough so this team is a winner and not the NY Mets.
I'm gonna boo him incessantly, hoping he opts out.
I’ll take your route after next year is over; might be the time I am finally resigned to the fact that we are stuck with him. Until then: BOOOOOOOO!!!
I love this team.

Every time I make up my mind not to send in my post season ticket payment the Halos win & make me feel like I should. I know they have an inconsistent offense & poor bullpen but I can’t help but wonder how far the big three (Weaver, Haren & Santana) can take us if we make the playoffs. Not to mention what can happen if Scioscia would play his best players and maybe a Wells hot streak. I have till Weds to make up my mind so here is to a few more games made up in the standings.
For every wise man there are a hundred morons... be carefull who you take advise from.
You get the money back if they don't make the post season.
Right? And if you don’t buy them now and they do make the playoffs, how much more will they cost if you decide to go and have to buy them from another source?
THIS… IS… ANAHEIM!!
refunds are sent 120 days after the conclusion of the WS ...

You guys are both right but...
I’m on a bit of a budget at the moment and with the fact that next years season tickets are due early I don’t have the cash to pay for both in such a short time span. I can charge part of it but I don’t like going down that rabit hole. Being an adult can sure suck sometimes!

Haha, I've been saying that about the Angels all year
Every time I’m ready to give up on the season, they rattle off a bunch of wins and get back in the race.
Then every time they get close to 1st place, they start losing heartbreakers.
This year’s team is maddening!

I was at the game at the Knothole club tonight
And I said the same exact thing to a friend of mine. Seems weird that the guys feels the need to play so far into left field, especially with Bourjos next to him in center..
Faith Focus Finish
yea i was in Sec 525 and i was looking at him i was confused i told my wife
Vernon still thinks he plays Center Field or what?all the other teams gotta do is hit one down the line and its a stand up triple with Vernys speed

He's used to CF, and the perspective from LF looks wrong?
If the Halos don't care about the way they play, then why should I?
Don't have a source but Trevor Bell is going to be called up tomorrow. Already on his way.
It will help bolster the bullpen especially if someone gets bombed early.

Lets hope he's not needed... especialy considering Pinero is pitching tomorrow.
For every wise man there are a hundred morons... be carefull who you take advise from.
Definitely and he can be a solid 5th again if we need him but he seems ready for the task.
Talking to him he has a confident mentality which is a good thing.

If Pinero is throwing batting practice tomorrow, then he'll DEFINITELY be needed
More Howie please...
Well if Pinero can provide a quality start I would be in favor of Bell taking over the 5th spot.
Chatwood has been getting more and more erratic out there. He may have a solid future but right now I think Bell gives us a better shot.
For every wise man there are a hundred morons... be carefull who you take advise from.
Chatwood's BB/K Ratio is horrendous...
it’s pretty clear by that ratio alone that he’s never going to be a quality starter in the majors.
I wouldn't say never, he's only 21 afterall.
But he certainly isn’t now.
Good point. I forgot about him.
For every wise man there are a hundred morons... be carefull who you take advise from.

After the atrocious relief pitching on the previous game, it’s nice to see someone other than Downs step up during the late innings.
abreu? Wilson?
