L.A. Angels of Anaheim GAME 18/162 THREAD

by Rev Halofan on Apr 22, 2007 12:20 AM PDT in Angels News

GAME THREAD ... Team Sasquatch of Frapuccino @ Angels
Jeff WEAVER vs. Ervin SANTANA
12:30 pm on KCOP Free TeeVee and 710 A.M. (ingles) - 830 A.M. (spanish)

An ERA of 7.63 usually is bad, but what about when it is up against an ERA of 15.75? Balls to the wall?

My O.P.D. Picks for today:
Cabrera - Carrasco - 2

Not-so Random Song Lyrics
I'm in the high-fidelity
first class traveling set
And I think I need a lear jet.

Word from Erick Aybar is that his AWOL brother Willy (reportedly out on a bender) will not take his phone calls, but picks up when Vlad rings.

I don't like this game. Jeff Weaver has always pitched well against the Angels (career ERA of 2.78 against the Halos). Watch him come in angry and actually pitch a good game, just to show up the Angels.

Took my son to a minor league game in NJ, AA Trenton Thunder(Yankees) vs. Binhampton Mets toiday, and saw a young fan in an Angels hat. Good to see the fan base growing in this part of the country, so I won't be one of the few Angel fans on the East Coast, I'll one of a lot.
