We need to start winning again. Don't want to be cold for the ALDS and we want HFA

[CanadianHalo]

I know it's beating a dead horse at this point but I seriously have no idea how Boesch still gets penciled in

[CanadianHalo]

Wouldn't these AB's be better going to someone who may be useful to us in the post season. I really hope Scioscia doesn't plan on using Boesch in the playoffs but it's starting to look like he might.

Seattle pissing away a golden opportunity tonight

you might say Seattle is taking a golden shower tonight? 

[bloodbrother]

Interesting to see Weaver's velocity up these last 2 starts. Dude must be kicking it into another gear come playoff time

[CAAngelsLifer]

1-2-3! That's how it's done kids (I'm looking at you, Hector)! Weave would never have failed at punching the water cooler either... he would have demolished that thing in a blaze of glory. 

[CAAngelsLifer]

Anyone else hate catcher nail polish? just me? am i weird? 

[Bruce Nye]

Adam likes it.

 

But then...

[Bruce Nye]

Nice play Elvis (18th error this season).  That 8/$150 that kicks in next year looks like money!

[Bruce Nye]

Trouty - that's Bo Jackson territory!

[JAHV76]

Nice homer Trout!

[Bruce Nye]

Victor read my post!

[Kenny]

That was hammered.

[Kenny]

Trout has a shot at 40 homers. That's probably the most exciting thing I've ever said.

MLB Network guys said the same exact thing too...

I'm liking late September Weave.

I was at the ASG and that 1 iron shot is embedded in my mind.  RR was in shock!

Bo Jackson was one of the coolest baseball players I've ever seen.  Everything he did was larger than life.

[joeywings]

Remember Bo hitting an opposite field HR against Langston in Chicago?

UGH! That game hurt. Bo had one good hip then.

[Bruce Nye]

My favorite Bo memory as an Angel was when he was in LF.  A player hit a line drive down the left field line hooking foul.  Bo was in mid-LF and took off running for that short fence by the seats.  In full stride he jumped and got both feet on the fence and twisted in mid-air trying to catch the foul line drive.  He didn't reach it, but it was the most amazing athletic move i have ever seen.  He landed back on the warning track.  

 

As a two sport pro athlete, he was the best I ever saw.

[joeywings]

LOL at those kids!

 

Hey, cycle possibility.

[Bruce Nye]

Another smash by the MVP
