I love O-Cab

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun May 08, 2011 5:01 pm

Wooo! Way to pick up LaPorta

1-0

by **Mr. X** » Sun May 08, 2011 5:01 pm

Absolute joke of an AB from LaPorta, good to see Kearns pick him up there for the RBI.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun May 08, 2011 5:13 pm

Grady is doing this on purpose. He read my threads and he deliberately had a long at bat in the first and gets a sold single in the 3rd.

Just to embarrass me

by **Erie Warrior** » Sun May 08, 2011 5:16 pm

Kearns good for something

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun May 08, 2011 5:19 pm

Damn I thought Pronk was gonna plate 2 there.

At least we're getting to Haren. He's thrown 56 pitches already.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun May 08, 2011 5:25 pm

Fausto is cruuuuisin'

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun May 08, 2011 5:41 pm

Nice quick inning for Carmona. keep rollin'

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun May 08, 2011 5:46 pm

About time we hit a home run on the road

2-0

grady is really taking it out on me today.

by **motherscratcher** » Sun May 08, 2011 5:46 pm

Wow, that jumped. Went a long way.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun May 08, 2011 5:49 pm

2-0 and Haren on 86 pitches.

At least he won't be throwing another CG shutout

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun May 08, 2011 5:56 pm

Using our becnh players always bites us in the ass defensively

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun May 08, 2011 5:58 pm

Great awareness and throw by Carlos

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun May 08, 2011 5:59 pm

Pitch? Where??

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun May 08, 2011 6:07 pm

he looked safe by a country mile.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun May 08, 2011 6:12 pm

Everett is a bum

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun May 08, 2011 6:14 pm

Are you kidding me Grady??? What are you playing at?

by **motherscratcher** » Sun May 08, 2011 6:14 pm

Goddamn it Everett

by **Mr. X** » Sun May 08, 2011 6:15 pm

We're missing Mannahan out there at third today. Inning should be over.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun May 08, 2011 6:16 pm

Oh my God this inning has gone tits up thanks to Everett

by **bookelly** » Sun May 08, 2011 6:16 pm

Everett with a third bone headed play. WTF? Is Donald ready yet?

by **bookelly** » Sun May 08, 2011 6:17 pm

Everett cost us this game and the series. Asshat..

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun May 08, 2011 6:21 pm

LaPorta just painful to watch him at the plate today

by **Mr. X** » Sun May 08, 2011 6:29 pm

Clearly means something bad, but I must say "tits up" sounds decent.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun May 08, 2011 6:50 pm

Gotta get this run in Pronk please.. justify your claim to that cleanup spot

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun May 08, 2011 6:52 pm

Wooo Pronkasaurus!!!! tie game

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun May 08, 2011 6:54 pm

Woo Hoo Mr Fundamental rescuing Everett's ass

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun May 08, 2011 7:03 pm

poor day defensively

by **Erie Warrior** » Sun May 08, 2011 7:07 pm

Back in the lead. Santana > Posey because I say so!

by **Prosecutor** » Sun May 08, 2011 7:08 pm

Great at-bat by Pronk. Down 0-2, Orly distracts him by taking off for 3rd for no reason, and he still manages to foul off a 97 mph fastball up and in. Then he puts the ball on the ground to get the tying run in and even gets a hit out of it and sets up the go-ahead run.

Come on Smitty.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun May 08, 2011 7:11 pm

How many of those have the Angel;s had this series?? And it seems they all go to Trumbo

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun May 08, 2011 7:11 pm

Fucking joke, I can't believe that

by **Prosecutor** » Sun May 08, 2011 7:13 pm

Unbelievable.

Aybar is God.

Ballgame.

Why leave Smith in to pitch to a left-handed hitter with a .349 BA who already has five hits this series with the game tied and two on?

Was Sipp unavailable?

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun May 08, 2011 7:13 pm

Rotten luck this series

by **rebelwithoutaclue** » Sun May 08, 2011 7:14 pm

This entire inning is a joke. Why the hell was Kearns playing so shallow with 2 outs? That's an easy pop fly.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun May 08, 2011 7:15 pm

he always plays that shallow

by **Prosecutor** » Sun May 08, 2011 7:16 pm

Aybar has been slapping pitches to left. They didn't think he had any power to the opposite field. He does if you throw it right down the middle.

Anyway, tough luck but I'm happy with a split on this road trip.

by **onlyindreams** » Sun May 08, 2011 7:17 pm

How much luck can one team get? Just forget about it, there is nothing to be learned from this game. This team played well enough to win this series.

by **Prosecutor** » Sun May 08, 2011 7:20 pm

11 infield hits this series for the Angels - wow. With their pitching and that many infield hits in addition to the normal hits and they're tough to beat. Let's see how they do when they come to the Prog with a normal infield.

Nice to see Grady back in the groove.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun May 08, 2011 7:22 pm

C'mon now let's do this

Choo has hit 2 balls hard but right at guys, hope he can find a gap

by **Prosecutor** » Sun May 08, 2011 7:25 pm

At least we're finaly getting to their bullpen. Bat at-bat by Choo. Thought he might make up for misplaying that ball by knocking in the tying run there.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun May 08, 2011 7:27 pm

It's amazing how many fastballs Sanatana misses. Granted Walden can dial it up but just generally.

by **Prosecutor** » Sun May 08, 2011 7:32 pm

Ballgame. Wrong day to give Hannahan the day off or we would have gone 4-2. He's been playing every game so I guess Manny wanted him to have two days off.

I'm assuming Sipp was not available because he pitched last night. Those extra inning games depleted the pen. But tomorrow is an off day and Sipp had a quick 1-2-3 inning last night, so I don't see why Manny didn't bring him in against Aybar. If Sipp gets Aybar there the Tribe wins this one if C. Perez can hold 'em in the 9th.

The Angels are 4-2 against the Tribe but these teams look even to me, especially since all the games were in Anaheim.

by **Erie Warrior** » Sun May 08, 2011 7:52 pm

WTF? Who's the goat Smiff or Everett.

Tits up to both of those tossers.

by **skatingtripods** » Sun May 08, 2011 9:28 pm

Relax, boys. 3-3 road trip. Should have gone 4-2, but that's the way it goes. Bullshit IF hits and an error from your utility guy. They didn't show any quit in the 9th inning of a getaway day game where they blew two leads. That's cause for hope and optimism.

Focus on 4 of 6 this homestand now.

by **Prosecutor** » Sun May 08, 2011 10:09 pm

Sipp pitched in three of the last four games coming into today so I think Manny decided he wasn't going to use him no matter what. Sipp has 16 appearances in the first 32 games so he's on pace for 81 appearances. End result is Smith having to pitch against a lefty hitting .349 and the result was predicatable.

But I agree with tripods; it was a successful road trip. Now it's back to the Prog where the Tribe is something like 13-2.

by **OldDawg** » Sun May 08, 2011 10:22 pm

I'm not too disappointed in the 3-3 road trip. We faced some very good pitching and didn't lose any ground.

I am not a huge lefty-righty guy, although I know it is "the way to go." I am more of a "if a guys hot" kinda guy. My thought is that if Raffy Perez is gonna give up his first earned run OF THE YEAR, let him be on the mound when it happens. I bet he was ticked to see someone else give up his first earned run of the year.

by **leadpipe** » Sun May 08, 2011 11:01 pm

What was the Breathalyzer on Choo after that 8th inning drunken route to the ball?
