Angels- Scuds

Why cant they beat the A's at home? Last night was their 4th loss in a row. They put up absolutely no fight. Vlad looked like a 99 year old man running to first in that last at bat. Big series, they cant afford to get swept.

They need to remain "Unswept" like that hard knocking NY horse who ran yesterday.

If Harden keeps pitching like that,The A'S are the division winners.

Ya, that was pretty special stuff. Not sure what got into him.

He said he is best when he is throwing strikes.Next time ,he will have a much higher pitch count.If he throws all strikes,it would be 81.I wouldn't be surprised if they just make him strike them out in all 3 of the 1st 3 innings.9 strike outs.They will do something like that.Foul pitches off in bulk.Be like that f'n Kotsay,and foul 10 pitches in a row off.You won't see them helping him out with the ground balls to the left side of the diamond.He has their attention.They will adjust.

Good thing it was past the trade deadline.If Cashman saw that pitching performance,he would of given God knows what for him,and Beane would have taken it.Wouldn't be any prospects whatsoever left in their farm system.

G D it.Isn't this guy (Hernandez)for K.C. the guy who pitched the Angels so damn tough a week and a half ago? Yea,and yesterday he balks 2x ,and gives up the farm.There ya go Gander.

Halos will take 1 of the next 2(and stay within 1 1/2.)If they can't atleast get to Loaiza,then God help them.

Wow,Gander it is not that hard to see what happened now.Last week Haren beat Boston,and last night he was almost perfect against the Halos.Look at what he did last year from the 1st week of August on.I got big problems now.Our betting friend probably saw this,and that's why he went A's yesterday.Angel starters aren't really doing that freak stuff like that.Even Lackey has been giving up 2-4 runs.When was the last time we gave up just 1 run,or 0 runs like Haren does when he gets hot? Amazing the A's only got to pay these guys a half mil like that.When this guy is eligible he is gunna rake it in.Are you kid'n? A guy who hits stride in August and typically allows 0-2 runs per start in August/ September?
