I wasn't gonna say a dang thing until you said it.
I learned my lesson last time…
"Camelot sure fell apart, didn't it?"-Steve McCatty
Sorry, I just got here...
Have we already made fun of Arredondo’s Gameday photo?
"I'm going to take a camera crew and march into Billy Beane's office and demand to know why instituting his newfangled cost-saving measures means that the run manufacturing plant had to get shut down." FJM
To clarify:
He looks like he’s 12.

Guy at the 7-11 in City of Orange
“yeah right kid, no way am I selling you that skoal-do you think I believe you play for the Angels?”
"Camelot sure fell apart, didn't it?"-Steve McCatty
Streeeeeeeeeet
good stuff… I also like that he’s accepted his new role without any complaints (at least not any that I know of)
That's the best Street has looked since the ASB
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
More like the Mets, Brewers et al kicking themselves
because their bullpens are still sucko.

So, with only like 15 pitches
does he come back out for the 8th?

WIN PLZ.
"I'm telling you, I can't wait to put on that white uniform," Gonzalez said. "That will be the prettiest uniform I'll ever see."
KenKo just thanked Vince when they passed the mic...
That’s a new one to me.

Not a good sign
when our two high BAs are our pinch-runner/7th inning defefnsive sub for cust and our catcher
Oh man.
As far as I can see, out of everyone who either played today or is available, he’s tied with DFA for second on the team with .250. Suzuki’s got a .283.
eh cros put a good swing on it atleast

I think the reason to pull Street is that
he has the propensity to give up the occasional HR to lefties, while Ziggy doesn’t give up HRs, period.

Yes
but Aybar will make more this year than you, me, and Blez will in 10 years.
So not all that wrong.

What's wrong is me thinking,
“Where were these injuries before when we needed them?” But they did have Lackey and Escobar, I suppose.
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
Aybar makes $415,000 this year.
So using that math, that assumes that:
10 *(MobiusKlein + jdub69 + Blez) < $415,000
Or (MobiusKlien + jdub69 + Blez) < $41,500
Dividing that by 3, you would each average $13,833.33 a year. I hope for your sake, you are wrong.

Damn you and your facts
so yes, I’ll make more in 10 years than he does this year.

Seriously.
For the first time in a month, I might be able to go to bed before 2 tonight. I’m exhausted.
This would be the third time Ziggy has had an error reach
in his limited save attempts, Is that right?

Every time the ball tails in that much it looks like a release point issue.
And that 3-0 pitch was a strike.

A ziggy special
He must have induced 2,300 of them in his short career.
They top Smith’s pick offs anyday.
Ziggy’s has to work around errors. SMith has to work around his own nibbles

Hats off to Geren -
He wanted it; good for him.

Street gets the win
Good choice, official scorer.
Last of the Ninth - Photography Site / jamesvenes.com - Blog
One of those obscure rules
When the starter doesn’t qualify for the win in spite of an early lead, the pitcher of record after 5 innings doesn’t ALWAYS gets the win, especially if the official scorer feels another pitcher was more effective. Of the relievers, Street certainly was.
