Platoon!

Yuck

[T.G.]

In the mornin you go gunnin'
For the man who stole your water
And you fire till he is done in
But they catch you at the border
And the mourners are all singin'
As they drag you by your feet
But the hangman isn't hangin'
And they put you on the street

CHORUS:
You go back Jack do it again
Wheel turnin' 'round and 'round
You go back Jack do it again

 

 

Go Angels... do it again.

[Lou]

It's a lock

[tdawg87]

This one I am fine with.

 

Kershaw is so overdue it's not even funny. The Dodgers have won his last 11 starts, and Kershaw is 10-0 over that span. He has allowed just 12 earned runs in his last 13 starts, 9 in his last 11. 13 straight starts allowing 3 or fewer earned runs.

 

I know he's a freak, but he's also human. He can't pitch like this forever.

[T.G.]

Sweep the leg!

[bloodbrother]

This is where I'm OK with Sosh going with Cowgill over Calhoun. I'm all for getting more righties in there when they have to play elite LHP, and there's nobody better than Kershaw. This is the right scenario

 

this one's gonna be tough, but they've already did their job(at least securing a split in LA while having to face their 2 best starters)

[martinpa25]

Time to kick some butt again

[Season Over]

Hamilton vs. Kershaw should be high comedy.

[Butcher'd]

I'm fine with this. If Cron was a better athlete he'd be playing left tonight for Hamilton. But he can barely handle 1st base, so that shows you his (lack of) versatility

[The God of Runs]

10 runs minimum scored against Kershaw, all with solo shots.

[tdawg87]

Hamilton vs. Kershaw should be high comedy.

 

Someone make a thread so he'll hit a homer.

[nando714]

Sweep the leg!

Put'em in a body bag Sosh!!

[fan_since79]

Hamilton vs. Kershaw should be high comedy.

 

Three breaking pitches low and outside, three clumsy swings.

 

Repeat two/three times.

[Angel Oracle]

I'm guessing that Cowgill isn't leading off due to just returning from the DL.

Aybar has hit lefties pretty decently in the past, but only has a .599 OPS against them in 2014.

[Angel Dog and Beer]

lol, Cowgill comes off the DL and he immediately faces Kershaw.

that's just ridiculous.

One run will be via ROC

[T.G.]

The Angels need to do to Kershaw what they did to Chris Sale.
