Gameday Thread: Angels vs. Astros (5/7)

Pujols robbing us blind

 

Pujols will collude with Vernon Wells and Torii Hunter to buy the team. Pujols will remain a player with a huge albatross contract thereby driving down the value (and the price) of the ballclub. Then, once the team is sold, he will retire and use his "personal services" deal to take over as team president. 

[Hoops McCann]

Wonder how bad it will get towards the end of the contract for AP?  Bad in terms of fan support, or lack thereof...it isnt going to be pretty.

[Glen]

Nice to see CJ settling down after giving up the half-dozen. 

[nando714]

Bad move by taking out lyles

[Jason]

At least Hamilton isn't striking out

[bloodbrother]

Another weakass Hamilton AB

[Jason]

Makes you wonder what that inning would of been if Hank Shlonger wasn't catching.

[jshep]

Howie Kendrick- 5 HRs

 

Josh Hamilton- 2 HRs

"God has given me ability and talent, but the day I feel like I can't compete any more on this level, I'm not going to embarrass myself," Pujols said. "I'm going to walk off. Whether that's next year, two years from now, only God knows."

[Glen]

Down by three is Howie solo-shot time! 

[jshep]

Damn, right at him

Pujols idea of "being competitive at the major league level" is likely very different than what the fans are thinking

So he's retiring after the game tonight?

I think only two of those runs were earned...

 

Edit: Possibly one, since the sacrifice would have been out number one, and the two strikeouts that preceded Carter's HR would have been outs two and three.

Yup. Wilsons era isn't affected even tho he gave up a gopher ball.

ERA is totally an accurate stat

[cysomeawfulpitcher]

In that case, Joan Osborne was right about him.  What a slob.

[nando714]

We take the lead here

Lowe comes in and blows it

Book it lol

I think the point about ERA is that had those two errors not occurred, he would have been facing Carter leading off the 4th, with no runners on.

 

No, he certainly did himself no favors by serving up the gopher ball, but he would have been out of the inning if not for Conger's impressive fielding and throwing display.

[The Dude]

lol nice bunt

[Bruce Nye]

Oh man.  Greg and Peter Brady are so mean to Marcia.

 

What are you guys watching?

[jshep]

Get tossed, Mike

[bloodbrother]

This team is a special kind of dumb

[FabulousFabregas]

Nice to see our manager show so much fight.
