Fallen Angels

I just looked at the score of the Angels game on yahoo! and it says that Howie Kendrick left the game due to a jammed finger and Francisco Rodriguez left the game due to an ankle injury. It seems to me that the Angels may have gotten the injury hex that the A's had the last few years. Lackey, Escobar, Shields, and now these two! Next thing you know Vlad's car is going to get broken into and his passport, IPod and hand moisturizer will get stolen leaving him useless for two months. The division seems as wide open as it's been in years and I believe it's time for the Gonzalezeses to play and win!

Talk about a "one door closes, another opens"

scenario. The Angels are leading, then suddenly I see that they're losing..and then I see that Kendrick's hurt and K-Rod's hurt and I'm thinking "It IS their injury year - we're in the race!"

And then Harden...

Anyway, my bottom line has always been that sans Harden the A's just don't have enough to hang in there in 2008 and they haven't invented enough Gonzalez' to change that. So please let him have the flu!

I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal

Torii Hunter

just hit a walk-off grand slam to win it for them in the bottom of the ninth. :-(

Never mind.

Hunter's being paid 300 times what Brown is.

Kendrick had best not be injured though, he's in my fantasy team!

My goodness.

Borowski might be the 5th best reliever the Tribe has.

1. Betancourt
2. Perez
3. Lewis

Then Borowski, Julio and Kobayashi in a sad clusterf*** for positions 4-6.

In the off-season, I thought they were a perfect suitor

for Street. Still do.

I just got back from the game. I was rooting for the Indians, and despite the final score I could not have been happier because FRod totally sucked and blew the game and Vlad totally misplayed a ball in RF and it was like Christmas for me.

I kind of hope that FRod isn't actually hurt so he can suck some more and people will realize how lame he is.

Looks like we coulda

competed this year with Haren and Swisher. I still approve of the trades but we coulda won the west this year with all these injuries.

When will then be now? Soon.

yes expecting to contend b/c half the angels roster gets injured is not a wise strategy

Didnt say it was...

Just seems like its turning out that way if we hadnt traded them.

When will then be now? Soon.

The real races seems to be....

which team will make it to May with their starting rosters intact! With everyone and their brother getting hurt makes you pine for HGH days!

2008 Oakland Athletics...more than meets the eye!

Not moisturizing...

Moisesturizing, using Alou vera.
