[Season Over]

Mike Scioscia is going to start a fistfight with Redmond if he benches Jeffy three days in a row.

[Angel Oracle]

What does this mean?

Bad news for the Marlins! 

Take the series, and onward and upward to the A'ths series.

 

Go Halos!

Go Strohs! (except for the Halos' 5 games against them in September)

Alvarez's 3 shutouts this year lead the NL.

1.7 BB/9 innings.

 

His only career appearance at Angel Stadium was a 6-hit shutout.

Crap this Alvarez guy is pretty good?  We must win tonight and remain in 1st before meeting the A's.

[Chuck]

Why is Beckham starting over Navarro?

 

WTF! 

[jsnpritchett]

Why is Beckham starting over Navarro?

 

WTF! 

 

Get your negativity out of here, mister! 

[Season Over]

Mathis batting 9th.  Crisis averted.

[rageous]

Has Beckham gotten a hit yet with the Angels?

[QuinlansMinion]

I just noticed Mathis in the lineup lmao.

[The God of Runs]

Has Beckham gotten a hit yet with the Angels?

Today will be the day.

[fan_since79]

Mathis batting 9th.  Crisis averted.

 

Going to the game tonight. Can't wait to see Jeffy.

[Stradling]

Has Beckham gotten a hit yet with the Angels?

No but he's started two games.

[DoubleOffTheWall]

Beckham will become the new Mathis

[full circle]

The Marlins felt strange not having their pitcher bat so they decided to insert an equivalent.

[tdawg87]

Mathis will either go deep tonight, or get a big hit. You know it's happening.

[AngelsFaninGA]

The Marlins felt strange not having their pitcher bat so they decided to insert an equivalent.

And the Angels reciprocated by starting Beckham.

[Broad Street]

Good to see a pitcher batting 9th!

[CanadianHalo]

Alvarez can be really good. Obviously watched my fair share of him while in Toronto. If he pitched a gem tonight it wouldn't surprise me. If he got roughed up tonight it wouldn't surprise me. Never know with him.

Side note, anyone see that play Simmons made in the bottom of the 8th in New York. Bailed Walden out big time.

[tdawg87]

Nice to see the A's playing "lawyer" ball tonight.

[Amazing Larry]

Bud Selig at the game tonight.

[Oz27]

Gordon Beckham is getting regular stats while Grant Green continues a waste-of-time rehab stint while we wait for the calendar to tick over. That's something I certainly struggle to understand.

Beckham is more of a veteran.

[wpghalo]

Stros got two on.. 1 out

[Kenny]

Bud Selig at the game tonight.

Tens of people were applauding for him.
