I'm the last guy to give Scioscia credit...but I guess we have to for a good challenge there.  Pretty much just gave us two runs.  

[Blarg]

Sviodcia is only stalling for time while someone signals him to make the challenge call, just like every other manager.

[Blarg]

Nice spelling, idiot!

[Guest]

umps should be fined if a call of theirs is overturned, especially an obvious one like that.

The sadder part is there have been at least 3 calls this year that the umps in NYC have screwed up despite having the luxury of unlimited time and multiple camera angles. That's beyond inexcusable.

All we need is for Weaver to pitch 3.2 more innings, and if the offense has scored at least 3 more runs, then we can bring Frieri in for the clutch 1 out non-save to boost his confidence.

As if the fact that he is safe is some kind of victory?

Yes because it allowed us to score two more runs.

Face!

[Carlos]

Oh, boy

[bloodbrother]

Can't be a Weaver start without a HR given up

[Sherlock31]

That kid Lee is pretty good, 95MHP FB and he hides the ball well，Maybe the Angels can go look for some pitching in Taiwan.

[markb]

Maybe Weaver should be glad Santana was bunting into the shift, because Carlos owns his ass.

[BleedRed]

Felt that one coming.....

[bloodbrother]

Man, Weav seems to cruise right along and then does this in the 6th/7th a lot this season

..........................................................................why just why?

[Marsaka]

see how those pitches are catching the strike zone yet he doesnt get the call?  it's iannetta pitch framing that his costing him strikes.

[bloodbrother]

WTF Weav

[OregonLAA]

Apparently Weaver can't pitch past the 5th now. Yikes. Not good for us

[BleedRed]

Cy Kohn ready in bp

Yep. Not only that but Iannetta's poor blocking takes away the ability for pitchers to throw sharp breaking balls with confidence when there are runners on base. IMO on the whole the Angels would have been better off sticking with Bobby Wilson or Mathis at catcher.

[Carlos]

Kohn is pitching waaay too often, not good

No Ryan Budde or Josh Paul?

[Ochocinco!]

Giambi is due

[OregonLAA]

I like Kohn better in these situations then as the regular set up guy. Now he will blow it though since I said that
