ballgame angels win 9-5

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 9, 2008 -> 04:25 PM) No. The MLB doesn't allow games to be broadcast over the internet. they do, but only when they're making money from it, i.e. MLB Gameday Audio streams

tribe puts up a 4 spot in the 6th 6-4 angels........

angels lighting up paul byrd, napoli with a slam and then garret anderson just hit a solo shot 5-0 angels edit: back to back jacks by anderson and kotchman 6-0 angels hahahahaha

QUOTE (CryptviLL @ Apr 9, 2008 -> 01:04 PM) stupid WCIU... good thing there is mlb.tv i have mlb.tv but i bought the 1yr package so i could watch all the AL central games, also so i could download all this years sox games (have all the games saved except the first one, because mlb.com doesn't have it archived for some reason), but living in IL every sox game is blacked out on mlb.tv so, even though I don't have WCIU down here in the Peoria area, I can't watch WCIU sox games on mlb.tv, it's ridiculous.

Paul Byrd just gave up a 2nd inning Slam to Mike Napoli lol 4-0 angels

keep in mind, how much of an impact confidence has on a team, whether it's affecting a team in a positive way, or negatively. right now, every team in the league that faces the Tigers has an overwhelming amount of confidence that they can decimate the Tigers bullpen, I think right now that is a huge factor in when the Tigers win their first game and ultimately when they start playing winning baseball.

justin speier just blows the save in anaheim, now the angels have to score in the 9th to keep cleveland out of the win column damn it! edit: ballgame, cle wins 4-3

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Apr 8, 2008 -> 10:55 PM) Yeah I agree. As long as their winning I could care less. i agree i guess it's a good problem to mull over when the only thing you can complain about with your team is "damn it, they need to do something about the beards on this team" im seriez

0-7.

everyone speaking for the tigers always says "well it's early". yeah it's early, but the way they're playing, it's really difficult for an entire team to push the ON button at the same time, and they could easily struggle all year long, ala the 2007 Chicago White Sox this is a very real possibility, i'd just like everyone to realize that no, they won't go win-less all year, but they could very well be a .500 or below team just for the same reason the 07 sox were, starting off on a very slow start, terrible bullpen, 'OK' starting pitching, and all of the hitters are putting inordinant amounts of pressure on themselves trying to hit and ultimately extending their slump throughout most of the year

QUOTE (rcpweiner @ Apr 8, 2008 -> 01:49 AM) Well, Borowski certainly sucks. Maybe Kenny wasn't so crazy to spend some extra money fortifying the bullpen in a division where Borowski and Todd Jones are two of the closers. unfortunately Soria and Nathan live down the block.

wow javy might make it through the 6th inning with around 100 pitches at this rate

2-1 twins

wow that 85mph breaking pitch was VERY FLAT, that will be hammered if he throws that to morneau

javy having serious control problems today....

i have to keep my emotions in check for this game, even if we lose, we've never seen this pitcher before, and it's hard for any lineup 1-9 to be successful the first time you've seen a guy, especially a guy like blackburn who has 3-4 pitches he can throw for strikes and has decent velocity on his fastball

check swinging on an 0-2 breaking pitch? get your head in the game paulie

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Apr 7, 2008 -> 03:17 PM) for those watching can you please give a general observation about the Twins Rookie pitcher as we go along? he looks tall, has an overhand delivery, he's getting everything way up or way down, doesn't seem to have any huge movement on his fastball tie game

OC! you can cancle the rookie-on-the-mound-that-we've-never-faced no-hitter post-game show

swiiiiiiiiiiiiiisherrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr is a stuuuuuuuuuuuud

he can't throw his 2 seamer or his breaking pitches

swish was just on the score: "After the collision me and JD had in cleveland going after a fly ball, i guess you could say we have a LOT BETTER communication now after that happened" that's good to hear, lol

QUOTE(sox-r-us @ Apr 7, 2008 -> 01:50 AM) They are already calling for Leyland's head http://motownsports.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=7 just finished reading that thread, plus the game thread. i will say, for the most part their fans are pretty knowledgable and polite, but there are some ridiculous toolbags that post over there. See sig.

QUOTE(almagest @ Apr 7, 2008 -> 01:40 AM) We're leading the AL in OBP (.370) and HR (10) according to mlb.com. It's so nice to see a team that can make these pitchers work and drive up the pitch count. We've gotten some good pitchers out of the game early against us. Also thank you to the Diamondbacks for having so many good young outfielders that they can afford to trade Quentin for an A-ball DH/1B. 2nd now in HR behind arizona (12 vs 10), and 2nd in OBP behind STL (.373 vs .370), 1st in OPS in all of baseball with .870, with the brewers coming in 2nd with an OPS of .848, 3rd in all of baseball in runs scored with 38, behind ATL & MIL who are tied with 40 interesting side note, we're 8th in all of baseball in hits with 56, yet we're 13th in all of baseball in total at bats with 208. also, another interesting tidbit which won't surprise anyone here that's been watching all the games this year we lead all of baseball in walks with 32, and individually Nick Swisher so far is an absolute stud with 8 walks in 6 games, tied for 1st with encarnacion and pujols, and Paulie has 7 walks on the year, we have 2 players in the top 5 of total walks on the year this doesn't even look like the same team as last year, seriously... just updating~
