Silver Linings: April 5th, 2013 Edition

[sneaky_flute]

there's no such thing as protection

[ettin]

solid starting pitching

 

Iannetta continues to rake

 

clutch hit by trout

 

i know "close" only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades but at least we have been in every game

 

Actually it's horseshoes, hand grenades, and nuclear weapons but point made and taken.

[Carlota Gonzalez]

The bullpen and pitching has been a lot better than they looked in ST. Thats an upside.

[Chuck]

I got my son his first car for a lot cheaper than I expected. Sent him on his way for a belated birthday present. The look on his face as he drove away was priceless. 

 

Oh and I missed the game. 

[Wallerrrr]

what kind of car?

[Troll Daddy]

The outfield defense was nails.

[Palomar]

They were IN the game the whole way, they just didn't WIN the game.  Kinda sounds too familiar already.

[Angel Dog and Beer]

Pujols had a lineout and hit one to the warning track (just got under it).  Hopefully that turns into some hits and HR's.

[Earnest Borgnine of 9]

I didn't see the game.

Way to keep up the spirit of the thread.

[Earnest Borgnine of 9]

Last year at this time both our wins and losses had much higher run differentials.  This season it's been losses by only one run.  Once our MOTOs wake up, watch out.

[DropOfAnaheim]

It's only the 4th game, then...it;s only the fifth game, then...it's only the 10th game...then the 2002 team's record in April starts getting mentioned.I HAVE A SILVER LINING FOR YOU. MAYBE MIKE GETS CANNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DropOfAnaheim]

The Astros are coming to town.

[ineedanap]

Kendrick 2-4, SB and Trumbo's BB

And replaced by whom?

[DropOfAnaheim]

And replaced by whom?

Erstad, LaRussa, Salmon, Bud Black. If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice:)

[Earnest Borgnine of 9]

Black is still coaching the Padres, LaRussa is retired, Salmon and Erstad...don't you think they'd be a bit green as all-out managers?

[Pbonetheman]

what kind of car?

 

I actually saw them drive off the lot. Sweet ride. 

[Mark68]

darn. we used to go to shakey's though

Round Table for me.

The same was said of Robin Ventura. Or of Mike Scioscia once upon a time.

 

We'll see what happens this year with the "green" Walt Weiss and Mike Redmond (if the Marlins win more than 65 games, he'll look REALLY good).

[Pbonetheman]

Last year we were losing to the likes of the Royals and Twins. Bleh. 

 

Round Table for me.

 

Do they have MOJOS?? 

[Mark68]

Do they have MOJOS?? 

No, but they used to have CD jukeboxes, which was pretty cool.

Yeah, but Ventura has only had one year. Let's give him 5 in order to determine his true worth. Erstad would be interesting though if we went green. 

[EDinTUSTIN]

Holding the Rangers to 3 runs in Arlington is quite a feat.

 

Vargas and the bullpen (with the exception of the one that shall remain un-named in this thread) looked good again.

 The Angels have to play better, and need to start now. Vergas looked good, and that is a plus

[EDinTUSTIN]

LMAO

[cysomeawfulpitcher]

Vernon Wells is still not on the team.
