individual game predictions
are difficult/futile, but I'm confident this will be a high scoring game. For both teams.

The Angels blog are doing predictions
on three things for todays game:
1. # of angel pitchers
2. # of angel SB's
3. # of angel GIDP
I predict for the Angels to have:
1. 5 angel pitchers
2. 1 SB (and 1 CS)
3. 3 GIDPs
anyone else wanna take a stab at it?
Ya....That's Real Mature.

that post plus your sig makes it look like you're saying white women need days off.
and emphatically so, I might add..

Jennings pitching...
I'm iffy as to whether I want to endure an FSN West telecast with the incomparable Rex Hudler just to watch Jennings pitch.

Fun fact
Ervin Santana has an 8.92 ERA in 7 starts at the Ballpark in Arlington.

Well
at least we avoid Howie Kendrick both these games.
That guy was setting the world on fire before he (surprise, surprise) got injured again.

It might well be

it's weird for me to think of the Travs as an Angels team
because they were part of the Cardinals' orginization for so long... I'll never get used to that.

You know what sucks about Jennings
That this team will view him as a veteran guy who needs to be given at least a few months. I wish that they would just realize that they need to cut their losses with him and accept that their gamble didn't work.
by Gdawg1 on Apr 14, 2008 7:22 PM CDT 0 recs
Ok
So who should be here instead? Hurley isn't ready as he's shown so far, BMac is hurt, who do you want? Ponson, Feldman, who?

Dirty Jobs is on right now, but it's not a new one

dude
I'm just as environmentally conscious as anyone and these guys aren't out there everyday catching thousands and thousands of pounds... they are out for two weeks max twice a year and can only catch a certain amount. This isn't like clear-cutting...

Jennings
I would rather see Tejeda pitching right now, at least he throws 95 when he misses the strike zone. Maybe it was his incredible game against the red sox last year on opening day that hooked me but would he really be any worse than Jennings is right now?? I mean I know its early but 10.2 IP and 10 ER's and its not like he is throwing well, at least no one can complain about the bad infield defense when he is walking everybody.
by phina on Apr 14, 2008 7:26 PM CDT 0 recs
Well
That's a good point. I guess they're going on the hope that Jennings can return to a form he previously had, but I might be with you.
by brettgardner on

No doubt he is struggling
But there are no other viable options to replace him with right now. Tejeda is a reliever. The Rangers have determined that and are going to stick to it. Hurley isn't ready. Feldman has made 3 starts as a professional so although he could take his spot its not really feasible. Harrison is still in AA although he is probably ready for AAA. McCarthy is on the DL. I thinik if he continues throwing this way I think there is a strong possibility he gets DFAd once McCarthy comes back but for now we are stuck with him.

I like WhipSmart's bit with the new board game each time, but I'm sticking with his initials (MOB) because Obelle is a truly blessed middle name, IMO.
