The last time we were alone in first

[fan_since79]

May 15, 2011.

 

CJ Wilson started for the Rangers, and Kevin Jepsen finished the game for us. We lost but remained in 1st place, a half-game up on Texas.

[Halos of Anaheim]

I remember that game.

 

Wish we could have won yesterday. 1.5 games up on Oakland 1 week after being 4 games back would have been something historical.

[Chimi]

Look at that lineup we had, haha

I thought you were gonna say something like we got caught watching porn on the families computer

[disarcina]

we were in first all alone on Saturday night by two percentage points.......

 

hey, first place is first place........two percentage points, no games ahead or half game up..........

 

LIGHT UP THAT HALO!!

[fan_since79]

CJ in that game, 104 pitches in five innings, 6 hits, 4 BB, no decision.

 

Tonight, 115 pitches in 5.1 innings, 5 hits, 5 BB, but he gets the win.

 

The nibbling hasn't changed, though.

I had no idea Reggie Wilits was on the team as recently as 2011.

Hector was a pup!

[HeavenlyHalos]

Kevin Jepsen had a 7.11 ERA. I am AO-level SHOCKED at his improvement this season.

[Docwaukee]

ironically, Amarista was out at home on the contact play in the 8th.  

 

also, we had rich thompson and takahashi trying to hold the game to a tie.  yeesh.  the game ended on a strikem out throwem out double play.  good times.

My favorite box-score from that season.  The perfect summary of the Reagins era.

[Ray McKigney]

Aybar cranked off of CJ that game. 

[JoJo26]

Notice all the Halos with a .300 avg. or more? I remember that one game when ALL 9 players in the lineup had .300 BA or higher.

 

2014 Version?

 

We got none...

One thing ill never forget. The 2007 ALDS. GA got pink eye and missed the series against boston....we were pretty much fist phugged.

I dont want to spoil it in case any one tivo'd it and hasnt watched it yet, but that team didnt outhit the manny/papi sux...
