I don't think the Angels are going to get past Jon Lester tonight, but I sure would like to see one of these two series come down to a decisive Game 5. Think the White Sox can pull another one out at the Cell? My previews are up on SI.com

Bantering it shall be! Can't believe the Angels not trying to run up the pitch count on Lester..i hate that team for so many reasons...

Hey, wasn't that the same Howie Kendrick that had over 100 hits agains the Yanks this year? boo.
Lester is on his way to being pretty good, methinks. : (

Vlad with 1 RBI in 61 PS ABs. If that was ARod, it would be mentioned every AB, every game, between games, after games, and in every newspaper in the country.

9 Just stopping by to help you make it to 20... If Moose can finally make it to 20, then we can too. Let's go Banter...
2008-10-06 18:38:58
12.   OldYanksFan
Yeah.... 20 is special... but 18 or 19 ain't bad.

Dusty Now&Laters hitless so far..i fear a Monster 2-bagger coming..

CHOAD!!!! Maybe our boys can wear B's on their caps when they play the Angels next year. Cripes and double bollocks.

At least the E didn't hurt 'em... Maybe Figgins will make up for the E with his bat...

By the way, what's up with Craig Sager and his orange coat? Is he auditioning for a coaching job at the University of Tennessee?

15 Good call there, Bama Yankee...

Hey, with that K with a runner in scoring position, at least Tex is starting to look like a Yankee... ;-)

17 I don't know about that. But I "Volunteer" that jumping off the mound gets you called 3rd strikes way outside.

Man, my back is getting tired from carrying this thread...I'm out...goodnight crickets...

19 still here Bama, and we made it 20..can we gor for 30??

Man, this team sure is fundamentally sound.

you knew Dusty McVittles would come through..
2008-10-06 19:23:23
23.   OldYanksFan
Yeah.... 30 is special... but 28 or 29 ain't bad.

These Angels are exasperating.

24 very over-rated team..pains me to say but Sox obviously much, much better..

1 ,2 Sorry, wasn't home til now and going to bed shortly. If you've been ignoring me and my blog recently (and I don't blame you for doing so >;) you certainly wouldn't know two things:

A.) I've not been very cheery or diplomatic lately... >:'

B.) Celebrity Apprentice 2 just went into production and I'm stuck in traffic.

Wait until you hear the one about my roommate trekking to Staten Island to bring home a female cagemate for her female guinea pig and discovering that she was quite misinformed about her own guinea pig's gender (ball one... ball two... just trying to keep it somewhat baseball-related. G'nite! >;)

Masterson dealing it at 97mph..

26 stay positive Chyll, it's all there ahead of you..

Hot Damn. Tied it up.

Well.... 40 is special... but 38 or 39 ain't bad.
2008-10-06 20:19:37
34.   Mr OK Jazz TOKYO
why the bunt again?? pinch-runner can score from 2nd on a hit..i really don't like Sciosia..
2008-10-06 20:19:59

33 Just cuz it's a slow night. Plus it describes the feelings of our playoff chances for the last 6 weeks.

34 I questioned that too. Although the runner can score on almost any kind of contact. Let's see....

Wow, can Papelbon really not get more than 3 outs? How could you not go to him with 2 outs in the 8th.

Meanwhile, the Angels continue to be "aggressive", argh.

Holy shit.

Scosia sure is smart. One of the smartest in baseball by golly. He was out, but yeesh

Halos are just gift wrapping this series for the opponent. A squeeze in that situation? Talk about overmanaging.

You gotta love the Big G. I'm sure he could out-drink and out-party Texiera. But yeah I wouldn't mind having Tex on the team.

Go Rays.

Well.... 50 is special... but 48 or 49 ain't bad.
