See something wrong with that picture?
We lost last night because GA in left field missed a routine fly. He was playing far too in. The ball was 10 feet from the warning track for chrissakes. Any other left fielder would have gotten that.Quote:

Those things are more proof of how gay Angels fans are.Quote:

Anyway.
I'm still waiting for an answer.
Stop dodging the question.

Granted, Cano doesn't have great opposite field power, and by playing in he gives himself a chance to throw out a runner on a base hit. BUT, cost-risk analysis says that's a bad decision. You don't risk giving up three runs in order to have a chance to save one.
I think he misplayed that, which cost us three runs, thus we lost the game by those three runs.
GA is in the bottom 5 Percent of left fielders. There's a reason why his uniform is clean after every game. The GA of today isnt the same GA that had all the hustle back in 00 or 02.

It wasn't a routine play, but it also wasn't an extraordinary one either. Matsui makes that play, no problem.Quote:

But GA isn't average.
Defensively, he is one of the worst left-fielders in all of baseball. His fielding pct is roughly equivalent to Manny Ramirez (the worst). He's ranked 95 of 100 outfielders in defensive win shares...
Hmm. How so? I usually post if i'm around. Sometimes I do go out to a pub or bar to watch the game, if i'm not at the game.Quote:

It's a lame retrospective analysis that really means nothing.
He was playing in the right spot given Cano's lack of power to the opposite field.
To say he was not playing in the right spot is laughable.
It's funny how little you know about baseball.
I get the feeling you probably started watching it within the past 4 years.
So, are you going to answer my question any time soon about why you are nowhere to be found when the Angels lose?
Trust me, this is not the first time I mentioned it.Quote:

I'd rather lose game 1 and win game 2. Keeps the momentum going into Yankee stadium, just like '02.
Also, not sure if you are aware, but in the last 5 ALDS series involving the Yankees, the team that won game 1 lost the series.
That would mean the Yanks lost game 1 in 2000, 2001, 2003 and 2004 and won game 1 in 2002.
Pretty funny because I also just heard Terry Smith comment almost my exact sentiment on Angel Talk. :kekeke:Quote:

No shit, it becomes apparently obvious what could have been done to avoid the situation.
But in the case of the Cano double, if he was in the wrong spot, you damn well know Mike Scoscia would have made sure he moved back.
That's why it's such a lame ass excuse.
I wonder how many of those you will see at Yankee Stadium?Quote:

I'll kick you in the nuts.Quote:

You guys have been waiting too long.
Even though they are down 0-2, they are still very scary. How many times have they been down 0-2 in the LDS, in recent times, and came back to win? I think 3, plus they came back from the yanks last year. The BoSox have no fear, and that makes em scary till the 3rd out of the 9th inning.
Tomorrow night's Angel game should be interesting. We have Byrd starting who is a finesse pitcher, unlike the power pitchers we have had out so far (Colon, Lackey).
John Lackey must be the stupidest looking person on the planet.
I don't think he can physically close his mouth:

gratz to the white sox. You guys played great baseball, Too bad the bosox didnt play better in this one. Bases loaded no runs out of it :oh_no:
O well cant wait for basketball season :D
Good luck to the Sox, Angels, Padres, Braves, Astros and Cardinals
:)
i knew the sox wouldn't make it, oh well there's always next year. but the braves are who i'm watching.
El Duque = Clutch
Big time El Duque. Best hope he remembers how to do that in the next series.
Fucking Yanks. No, that should be Fucking Randy Johnson. The good news is that Angels bullpen should be gassed coming into tomorrow's game. Shields threw a lot. And Chacon is a man.
Big changes for the Yanks next year:
Brown, Bernie, Tino, Womack all gone = $33 M right there
At least the Red Sox didn't make it. :chimp: :chimp: :chimp: :chimp:
Fuck Boston.
I still stand by this statement.Quote:

Sweet, I got 4 tix to game one of the ALSC on Oct11th for the White Sox, I cant wait, never been to an ALCS b4. My friends think I should sell em cuss I proly could get $300 a ticket for em.
I know this may be obvious, but whatever. I always look for destiny or "it's their year", type stuff whenever I watch baseball. 2 things happened in the ChiSox/BoSox series that may be signs that its their year(besides that they swept the World Champs).
First was game 2 when they came back from 4 runs to win. I bet that doesnt happen 99 outta 100 times, they looked flat all the way up till the 5th and Grafy made that error, which he never does, and they scored 5.
Second was El Duke getting outta that bases loaded no out jam....that was one of the coolest things I have ever seen in pro baseball. I dont think even Riviera(closer for the yanks) coulda gotten out of that).
Light up the HALO! The unit didnt even last 3 :kekeke:Quote:

Actually getting taking out with zero outs in the 4th inning means he pitched 3 innings.Quote:

Come on Mike...think before you post some of this shit.
The Angels deserved that win.
Props to em.
I want the Yankees to force a game 5 to sap energy out of the bullpen this way if they get to Chitown, they won't be fresh.
Damn, I tried to get tickets but failed. I even tried just buying a single ticket once that was the only option on ticketmaster, but that didn't go through either. One dude at work managed to get 2 tickets to game 7.Quote:
