Wouldn't that be sweet?

Especially if the Angels won 102 and still couldn’t make the wildcard.

The Angels aren't even trying.

But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.

well they locked up home field advantage with the Rays loss...so what does it matter?

That poses a dilema for me.

I want to see the Angels swept out of the playoffs, but I also want them to lose the third game in the ALDS on their own field.

Yay Carlos!

Betancourt takes pride in his defense, just like Ibanez.

by whiteshoes40 on Sep 26, 2008 8:43 PM PDT   0 recs

he's not playing for his own stats.

It must be him who wants to beat Ichiro’s ass.

Betancourt is their Crosby

At different times, I thought each one of them would be the next great AL West shortstop. Fail and fail.

question

if we dont resign rajai and we know emil is gone and carlos stays in AAA, would we be the only all white team in MLB?

Casilla. Gio.

Rajai isn’t an FA after this season. Unless the A’s nontender him, he’s ours.

Now with 100% more Canuck.

I guess Patterson's not part of your vision, and Chavez isn't Mexican enough and

Suzuki isn’t Japanese enough.

The M's will get Strasburg

and blow out his arm, like they’re doing with Morrow.

Now with 100% more Canuck.

by Blicks on Sep 26, 2008 8:47 PM PDT   0 recs

Nah Morrow just needs to learn to pitch when he's tired. He's a young horse with a rubber arm.

He’ll be fine.

Does anyone have the number of the Seattle official scorer?

I’d be interested in sampling the crack he’s on.

in my 20 yrs as an A's fan...Crosby has to be the biggest dissapointment

Brent Gates as well

A friend of mine from high school married someone named Prieto.

I giggled. No relation.

Now when the ball is hit to left

it makes me nervous.

That one, however… Trav can’t take responsibility for that. Crap.

I think LL

might want to “find Lopez and knock him out”

by Soaker on Sep 26, 2008 8:52 PM PDT   0 recs

Gallagher.

Belt high right down the middle. He might want to stop throwing the ball in that location. Just a thought.

Reading LL's game thread is entertaining.

They’re as angry at Lopez as we are. Actually, probably more.

Why yes, yes it is.

All I know is that I get to watch someone suffer.

Ray, reading the MLB network ad: “…exclusive excess… exclusive access…”

Exclusive access to what?

I don't know.

I wasn’t really paying that much attention.

by whiteshoes40 on Sep 26, 2008 8:57 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I don't think he said.

Just exclusive access.

Riggleman's secret brilliance: Morrow can still get the win

Very much worth allowing his arm to fall off.
