[Blarg]

Porcelain Porcello could be just what the Angels need to take the first game of this series. 

[tdawg87]

Boston is America's tumor. 

[Angel Oracle]

Watch this jinx it.

Baahs-ton is LAST in the AL in HRs hit.   Has that ever happened before, since the move into decrepit and too cozy for RHH's Fenway Park 105 years ago?

[Angels#1Fan]

Go Halos!

Go Alex!

BTW..The Boston Red Sux sock.

[eligrba4ever]

GO ANGELS!!! Go Alex Meyer!!

Don't get distracted by all the Papi stuff!! Stuff it up Boston's you-know-what Alex!!

Go Albert!! Show Papi and the Nation what home runs in the 600s look like!!

Go Simba, Luis, Kole, Cameron, Martin, Ben,Cliff and Yunel!!!

Climb above .500 and extend a winning streak!

LET'S GET A WIN!!!

[eligrba4ever]

At least viewers on MLB Network won't have to sit through the NESN crew. It's Costas and Kaat.

[daygloman]

Go Halos!

[tdawg87]

The Angels will lose.

[eligrba4ever]

Oh, Kole. That wall is REALLY close. The throw to second ain't that far.

[Angels#1Fan]

Kole becomes the millionth player thrown out trying to stretch a single into a double off the Monster.

[JarsOfClay]

Props to Kole for trying to stretch that into a double, it's his first game ever at fenway and I'm sure he didn't know a hit off the wall that goes directly to the left fielder would be a single.

And props to mike scioscia, the best manager in baseball, for that aggressive baserunning that never pay off.

[krAbs]

Should be a good game as long as Meyer can throw strikes.

 

Crap.

[eligrba4ever]

Oh, Alex. You got yourself distracted by that Wall. Walks ain't helping.

[Angel Oracle]

It's not like he's never played in Fenway before.     Dumb!

[AngelsLakersFan]

Well this looks like a loss.

[eligrba4ever]

You can't say THAT wasn't expected. 1-0 Boston.

Or THAT. 2-0 Boston.

Who's the lonnnnng man tonight?

 

[Angel Dog and Beer]

Meyer is a hot mess right now.

Somehow, he's got to get past the walks or he isn't going to make it...he did get screwed on a missed call with Pedroia...

[Make Angels Great Again]

Starting rotation is hilarious right now.

[JarsOfClay]

Meyer self destructing.   Walks a plenty, then throws one down the pipe to Bogarts.

Calhoun is in his FIFTH season, and this is his first game there?   That can't be right.
