I consider this game a must-win.

[WallyWorld]

same lineup 2 games in a row (except the pitcher's spot)!

[Chimi]

Scioscia must be feeling ill by putting out the same lineup.

[Eric]

I consider this game a must-win.

Of course it's a must win. The Angels cannot, must not, will not let this game be the deciding factor between making the playoffs and watching from couch this October.

The season rides on the outcome of today's game.

Between that and his exceptional managing of th season opener, I almost fainted.

[Tank]

get out of here! is that even possible this early in the season?

[vlad27]

Go Angels! Wish I could watch this game live - nice lineup

[JAHV76]

Pujols and Callaspo are both playing 3B? Sosh going with the switch all game.

Nice catch

[AngelArcher]

I guess all the position players got their "feet wet" in the opener, so no need for a different lineup. Oh yeah and also there's no veteran on the bench to tempt Sosh.

I'll spell it out for ya- we need to win the next 9 to get back to .500. And today is one of those 9. Hope this clears up my statement.

[PercySquint]

According to the lineup posted above, both Callaspo and Puljos are playing 3rd base. Is this another ingenious defensive alignment from the mind of Mr. Scioscia?

[CaliAngel]

AWESOME to see a  CONSISTENT lineup from the last game! 

 

I know this is only the second game but I hope this is a pattern as the season goes on!

 

If it is I think we will all be pleasantly surprised. 

[Jeff M]

Nail on the head. Kinda nice to have a bunch of low paid youngsters on the bench.

until the pitcher's spot comes up in the late innings of a tie game and the first player off the bench is J.B. Shuck :/

[nando714]

Which CJ shows up is my question. We're gonna find out

[GoodTimesGoneBad]

Thought Bourjos might get the start today.

[2002_halos_II]

10th inning

[Mark68]

10th inning

As a defensive replacement.

you must not be aware of last april

[gotbeer]

My ears hurt.   WTH did Mota just say?  Sounded like he was in the middle of having a stroke on air.

He is gonna list Pujols as the 3bman so he can f with advanced defensive metrics and pujols dWAR will be 11 by the end of the season. 

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

Jose Mota is doing the game on the radio. Crap.

[Jason]

Aybar never saw a 1st pitch he didn't like
