Wow!
I will say that I figured his recent performances were indicative of the rest of his career and then I read Scioscia talking about GA needing to get dialed in and whaddyaknow?
Let's hope it's a trend.

He's so lazy that when he only had 1 extra base
Even when he won the HR derby, he only hit like 6 home runs in round 1. Can't you tell he not really trying.

And they're wrong. The thing about GA is that he plays the outfield so smart he doesn't have to run to make flying catches, so he just looks "lazy".

"The American & National League record for runs batted during a game are listed above, but posted below are batters with at least ten RBIs in a game -- a feat rarer than a perfect game or four home run game..."
We've had quite a season, what with Figgy's Spectacular Night against the Astros, and this is another excellent performance.

Eat crow
1 GARRET ANDERSON'S HOMEMADE HUMBLE PIE
Struggling for most of the season, the Angels' cleanup man earned some harsh criticism from some know-it-all baseball columnist whose name rhymes with Zonah Zeri. A day later, Anderson laid waste to the Yankees' pitching staff, racking up four hits, two homers and 10 RBIs in an 18-9 blowout win.

This post was a great idea Rev., and thanks
Of course I invariably come to his defense. Most of the people who criticize his defense know nothing about baseball.
As for his bat, he is the ALL TIME Angels leader in hits AND rbi , yet one would never know it by reading the majority of posts about him here.
I barely believe that I was the only die hard to vote G.A. the # 1 All-time Angel when Rev. conducted his poll awhile back. I love Timmy but G.A. is at least as deserving and therefore should at least have garnered a few votes for number one. I actually don't think many even put him in their top five, which is just ridiculous to me.
Rev., Perhaps you remember the number of top five votes for G.A.?

Certainly a far cry from clutch, but it's a good move in the right direction to go from a .564OPS with RISP to a .723OPS in just one night.

This spinoff of the diary is the most sane thing
GA has one night in a long and mostly unproductive season and everyone goes bonkers!
What we NEED is for GA to "produce" for the next 2 months at a pace similar to 3-4 years ago. Then he will be "earning" his place in our cleanup spot. His presence as our #4 hitter this year has been a joke!
The past week's worth of line drives is a great start...KEEP IT UP GA! GA, HK, CF (if not seriously hurt), and Kotch stay hot we win the whole thing come OCT.

A-Rod is being talked about on Angels Live
"Anderson (LAA): 10RBIS
Rodriguez (NYY): 2HRS"
Guess what assholes. 10RBIs happens less often than a perfect game. It's one of the most rare things in the history of the game. Two home run games happen many, many, many times in a season...probably damn near once every day in which every team players. When one of those is a solo shot in the 9th inning of a blowout, it doesn't belong in the same goddamn SENTENCE, PARAGRAPH, PAGE, OR EVEN BOOK as 10RBIs.

Notice below the picture, it has the information on Garret's game. Not only should the Posada story NOT be the top story PERIOD (sorry, your little rumors about what the Yankees may or may not give to some catcher as a contract is not a top story), but it shouldn't be dominating over some small-font nod to one of the biggest single games for a hitter in the history of the game.

I was a Flipping Fool
7:55 p.m. - Just finished watching "Big Love" on HBO On Demand;
Game: Back-to-back doubles and GA taking out Molina make it 7-1 in the second - Cool, Kelvim's got an easy night
8:17 p.m. - First commercial break
Game: Third inning - 7-5; Whaaaat?? Here come the Yanks
8:45 p.m. - Second commercial break
Game: We're still in the bottom of the 3rd???
After 9 p.m. - DeNiro is getting really menacing
Game: GA has HOW MANY RBIs?
10ish - My wife is waiting for the commercials because Max Cady has just slit Joe Don Baker's throat.
Game: Bases loaded and Fizz and Rex are mentioning how GA needs to go yard to break the Halo RBI record... What do you know? He does it! Reverse karma finally works.
10:40 p.m. - Cady goes down singing hymns and speaking in tongues and my wife is finally down off the ceiling
Game: 9th inning - 2 outs, ARod homers and it's 18-9 ... ahhh Just Another Halo victory

To my new zit-faced best friend...
as 101 said, they waited a few minutes, well after the curtain call. I was standing there beer in hand counting and I only remembered 9. Luckily the scoreboard flashed it very obviously in lights on both big screens right as my poor mathematics arrived at the number 9. Then the crowd went bananas again.
You guys watching on TV had the benefit of Physioc talking ad nauseum about it prior to the salami.
As for my losing count, I was busy surveying the crowd, watching fights (only about 2 or 3 good ones, no cat fights this time like during the Sox series (darn)), and, oh yeah, trying to watch the game.

Not the greatest Regular Season Win
Didn't Grich hit a walk-off HR in 1979 in Anaheim that swept the Yanks and gave us all a feeling, truly, "yes, we can"?
THAT gets my vote for best reuglar season win over the Yankees - any one else remember that one? That is a storied game in the history of the franchise.

THIS was the greatest
Box score
you'd have to remember in 1979 we hadn't won anything yet after almost 20 years. This sealed off a sweep of the Yankees in mid-July and was a dramatic victory - Grich belted a 2-run walk-off HR in the bottom of the 9th on a Sunday afternoon and really gave the team a sense they were a team of destiny. They'd come back from a 4-0 deficit against Ron Guidry.
It also supports Matt Welch's recent column on his web site that Grich was the true AL MVP in 1979, as he had all 5 RBIs that day.
We can say Grich had a "Half GA" day.
