L.A. Angels of Anaheim GAME 7/162 THREAD

GAME THREAD
A's @ Angels - 12:35 pm on KCOP Free TeeVee
Joe Blanton Vs. Kelvim Escobar

Star-divide

Hillbilly Joe Bob Blanton has an ERA of a half-dozen and a sad track record at the Big A. Kelvim's notions of back spasms are a distant memory and he is on a mission to deal. Happy Easter to everyone, I am full on going to be at Target Monday morning to buy half-priced Cadbury eggs and slip into a Cobain-like sugar coma.

You Down With O.P.D.?
Matthews - Escobar - 1

extra predictions:
Swisher will try and start a fight by the 5th inning, earlier if they are down 3 or more runs

The fight will start when...
Kelvim beans Piazza by hitting his hair.  At that point Swisher and Kielty immediately charge the mound locks a flowin'.

by swiss mcgee on Apr 8, 2007 11:27 AM PDT up reply actions  

lol
the "don't hate me because I'm beautiful" fight? Maybe that's Swisher's problem-he's got split ends.

Told there would be an Easter Egg Hunt after today's game at the Big A, Roger said two eggs would be in the Angel bullpen and one egg in the visitors bullpen.  Roger is going to check the bullpens first.  Where else would you expect to find a rabbit hutch and a chicken coop?

Red jerseys today
Angels are going to be wearing the new (and very nice) reds again today. Interestingly, the Angels let their starting pitcher choose which jerseys are worn, which I did not previously know. Escobar won last time wearing the reds, so he decided to wear them again today.

by angelsrallymom on Apr 8, 2007 1:13 PM PDT reply actions  

just me?
Is it just me or is it way obvious that molina is the better catcher right now, I dunno why we are going with napoli.  Molina seems to be more consistent defensively and offensive is up in the air for both Molina and Napoli.

by thebigA on Apr 8, 2007 1:26 PM PDT reply actions  

agreed
Napoli is pretty good when he's feeling his best but I don't think he is there yet...Molina is better at catching & hitting.  Is Escobar more comfortable with Napoli than Molina?  

by angelsrallymom on Apr 8, 2007 1:38 PM PDT up reply actions  

Wow
Anybody notice how terribly Vlad ran down the line, and how blazingly fast GA did in that inning?  GA made the lunge to try to get to 1st.  Really impressed with his running recently!
