Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death


Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Game 164/162

Torre @ Scioscia
Offiical Game Thread
Wang vs. Lackey

Analysis: This is almost a must-win game (although if anyone can lose three straight, it is the Agin' Yanks) against a pitcher we have never faced. We held a dangerous offense scoreless for 7 innings last night and only looked weakened offensively due to some demoralized desperation hacks at the plate.

If you're like me you are probably attempting to maintain your confidence while catching yourself thumbing through a rolodex of What-Ifs from last night's game.

PREDICTIONS:
Runs and Hits: LAA: 7/12, NYY 2/6

Predicted Lineup:
Figgy 3b
Cabrera ss
Garret dh
Vlad rf
Finley cf
Bengie c
Erstad 1b
Rivera lf
Kennedy 2b

Bullpen Roullette:
Gregg
Escobar
3

I like the idea of moving Finley up in the order
Other than his K last night, it looks like he's starting to make better contact. Now if we could just get Kotch in there for Ersty...

Angels-8
Evil Empire-5

power worries
of course we need more power in the lineup, but we've never had it all year, and look where it's gotten the angels -- to First in the West.

the angels just need to play their game of manufacturing runs and getting clutch hits -- as nerve-wracking as that is to watch.

any extra power just puts a nail in the Yankers' coffin.

Our typical problem is...
...when we face some nobody pitcher we make them look like Cy Young. Hopefully by the end of tonight we're not calling this guy Cy Wang. In fact, I am going to predict that he makes our hitters look silly like so many other lower tier guys this year.

Point to the sky , and light up the halo.
 I get a free lunch , and my boss turned off his phone. Pussy.

LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAoooooooooooooAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

Whats with the announcing. Yankee this , Yankee that, Yankees against Boston that. Don't these dupes see that its the Angels there winning, and Boston is going to get swept but the Ugly.

Ooo Yankee this, and that. I'm getting sick.

Yesterday it was Buck the _ _ _ _ and Tim the talking baboon. Today Joe and John, the no neck twins, getting wet all over the pinstripes. Seriously get Joe a booster chair, I'm tired of seeing him stare up ot the camera looking like some sideshow freak.  Shit they like the NL anyway, what the hell were they doing in Anaheim.

My night
I was teaching a college English class tonight, but I had my cell phone next to me on the stand so I could keep an eye on the score.  Luckily, I got out just in time to get on the radio and hear OC's two-run single, and I got home just in time to see Benji's HR and Frankie close it down.

Can't ask for a better way to "miss" the game!

Thanks,
