took one for the team....

when our streak started, I missed putting in my runs and hits picks. So, I didn't enter any runs and hits picks until the streak was over. Anyways, I'm back...

Need at least 3 out of 4s - 4, 7
Need to win their next 70 to get back into it - 3, 6

several of us picked them to lose during the first half hoping reverse psychology would work. Sometimes it did, most of the time it didn't. We also threatened to go to the Big A and perform beer sacrfices to get them going. That worked a little because they started to win more than lose.

El Mineo

A few times, Hud has mentioned that our beloved Black Magic actually already has a nickname, but it's in Spanish. He says it's (and I'm doing it phonetically, since my Spanish is pretty much limited to mas cerveza, por favor) "El Mineo," or maybe he's saying "Minejo," or maybe even "miñejo." I'm not sure. But it's something like "the shake," because when Santana is walking, he has a bit of a shimmy/shake to his head & neck. So, that's his nickname, apparently.

But it would be nice to know how to spell it.

The picks:

Angels originally of L.A., and now back again (kinda): 8/13

Team from one of the Pathetics' former homes: 2/6

by jjackflash on Jul 20, 2006 3:12 PM PDT reply actions

Why am I trying to solve The Hud?

My Spanish ain't much better than yours (and my English ain't much good either!) But...according to online translators:

el minejo is "the ore"

el sacudir is "the shake"

Lackey was out too late "partying" on Tues. (maybe a late-night rock pile session?) and Santana's probably jet-lagged or something...

i think..

Santana is confusing KCs line up with the Yanks. Someone remind him not to be scared to throw strikes

by gorams77 on Jul 20, 2006 5:42 PM PDT reply actions

Where's the plate?

Sometimes, inexplicably, it's as if Santana simply forgets where the plate is and gets incredibly wild. Fortunately, in other games, he figures it out by the next inning. Let's hope this is one of those things where he was just opening up too early or something, and he'll straighten himself out (with some advice from Buddy Black).

What I find annoying

in retrospect is Scioscia's comment that the majors are not about player development but production on the one hand (talking about Kotchman or McPherson, forget which one), but letting Anderson face lefties when he's indisputably proven he can't hit them this year.

Fire Mickey Hatcher. An entire generation of Angels offense depends upon it.

by scareduck on Jul 20, 2006 5:50 PM PDT reply actions

Living in the past

At one time (maybe even as recently as 2005), GA hit lefties very well, at least in terms of average. There was really no dropoff in his #s, which is surprising.

But he's not the same player he used to be. Scioscia apparently can't see this, as he has justified GA's place in the lineup on what he has done in the past rather than what he is presently capable of doing. It's completely irrational.

by jjackflash on Jul 20, 2006 5:55 PM PDT up reply actions

I mean

For a guy who disdains stats and prefers to make decisions based upon what he can see, you'd think that he'd see how bad GA looks against lefties.

But every time he starts a sentence with "That's because" -- as in, "That's because he's a ve-trun!" -- you know you're going to hear a lot of cack.

Yes.

Bizarre in-game moves including — wait for it — a telegraphed suicide squeeze
A space-aliens-have-landed-and-replaced-Shields-with-a-changeling game in which he surrendered actual runs to KC's popgun offense.
Humiliating five-run leads given up by the tandem of Byrd and Yan was also a game in which Scioscia had .203-hitting Steve Finley batting third.
Actual 8-5 losses with Bartolo "El Ladrón" Colón and Kevin Gregg on the mound.
Back in 2004, a Ramon Ortiz implosion that was rectified thanks only to a four-run top of the ninth, aided by a pair of Kansas City errors.

So, yeah, the Angels looked bad even winning.
