Gameday Thread: 8/11 @ White Sox: Victorino leading off, Featherston at 3rd

[QuinlansMinion]

Its that last at bat by Victorino that made me say he was a good pick up for the playoffs.  He knows how to grind out at bats, and hit tough pitches.

It's clear to me the FO had no intention of beefing up this team for a playoff push. Saving up the war chest for next year when all kinds of money comes off the books.

[CaliAngel]

Coming back here, even to tie it up, would be nice to see.

[bloodbrother]

3b, LF, C....maybe 2b.....

 

No maybe, definitely. Gia is not a long-term option but rather a mediocre stopgap. Add DH as another problem area for the team

No idea who this Petricka kid is but damn his 96 MPH heat moves 

[VariousCrap]

I thought Trout wasn't going to take first pitch strikes this year?  It appeared that he was not doing so early in the season, but for the last few weeks, he has been taking first pitch strikes like he did last year.

That's a lot of holes

[laagamer]

Pujols will manage a triple play with one out 

 

EDIT: He's so overmatched by this kid it's scary

Double play by Albert to get the Angels only run.

I'm fine with that, having followed this team for 36 years, and many of them were horrible seasons from start to finish.

 

This is nothing. We're actually still in the hunt for a division title and/or wild card and it's mid-August.

[UndertheHalo]

Mang, he's due. Cmon Albert !!!!!!!

Ugh Albert that should've been over the wall.

[CaliAngel]

Poo**

 

I like calling him Pooie.

[Jason]

Loser

[QuinlansMinion]

Albert: "This isnt the Mike Trout show"

[VariousCrap]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Wow.

[nando714]

6 more years?

[JoJo26]

14 million for a 3 foot hopper?

Argh

Terry Smith: "Oh...my...goodness! That kind of typifies tonight."

[eligrba]

Here is exhibit A for how the playoffs will go.... if the Angels manage to get in.

[CaliAngel]

WOW. Pooie looked into the dugout and Scioscia wanted nothing to do with him.

 

Embarrasing.

[CanadianHalo]

lol @ Albert

Need to find a clean up hitter this offseason, move Albert to 6th or something
