Let's do this
I expect this game to be annoying as all hell.
However, I expect the pre- and post- game coverage of the WS to be immensely entertaining now that they’ve hired Ozzie Guillen. Think there’ll be a tape delay there?

Vlad would be lucky to get much more than half that.
He’s getting old, production is dropping, and he’s been injury prone the last several years.
No way
He’s coming off a 794 OPS, will be 35 next year, and is largely limited to DH.
by Adam J. Morris on Oct 22, 2009 7:49 PM CDT up reply actions
35 next year
Haven’t there been some questions about how old he really is? I think I remember him slipping up in an interview and giving his birthdate as a couple years older than what the Angels media guide had listed.
The dude looks and moves like he’s 40, and that violent swing of his just doesn’t seem like it will work with the body he has now. I don’t expect any bounceback from him at all, my bet is that he’s basically done.

Yeah, he let it slip he was one year older and its now listed as such in all media.
the preceding post was a great success.
he'll get half that, at most
I’d guess 2/18.

Except Vlad has hit .295 or better in every single year he's played since his rookie season
by oc on Oct 22, 2009 8:03 PM CDT up reply actions
avg obp and slg
have all be in consistent decline each year since 2007. Before last year you could have said he hit better than 300 every year. Last year’s slg of .460 was also the lowest of his career.
for the record I think vlad will be a quality DH for whoever next year
some people seem really down on him.
the preceding post was a great success.
I think he can be a solid DH
but don’t expect normal Vlad-like production from him anymore.
That was a rocket, by Vlad.

I'm saying go Angels for this game
I want these teams to just wear each other out to help the Phillies out any way possible. 7 games with plenty of extra innings. Maybe some non-career ending injuries.
It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops.
Dude what just happened?

Even if they do lose this game they sitll have an overwhelming chance of going to the WS
and a probably greater than 50% chance to win it once they get there.
the preceding post was a great success.
That's why I'm hoping for a long, drawn out series
Give the phillies the best chance possible.

So.. Lackey, Abre, Vlad and Figgins all possible FAs.
Am I missing anyone?
Maybe they will actually struggle one of these years.
the preceding post was a great success.
they won't re-sign Lackey or Figgins
The Angels seem pretty good at letting their older players go just before they begin to decline, (Percival, Glaus, Anderson). With Figgins, they also have Brandon Woods waiting in the wings to replace him.
No way they let Brandon Wood play
They hate him for some reason.
I think Luke French has a lot of potential. TORP potential.-Dstar
So MLB, needing something to fill the time between now and next week, will undoubtedly let this one go to a Game 6
And possibly even a Game 7.

it's not college any more
people can hit the fastball, and won’t chase his junk way outside.
he’s still going to be good, and this will be good for him. professional hitters are much MUCH different that College kids who wail at his sliders a foot off the plate.
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
speaking of which
Percentage of batters struck out should be used more.
the preceding post was a great success.
that would make sense for a new category
but K/9 is still a good scale for a pitcher. That’s why baseball has so many categorical stats—so you can quantify a performance properly. Gotta love sabremetrics. K/9 is a small part of the picture.
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
True of course
I’ve just noticed people not having it in proper perspective at times.
Like when Feliz had the insane whip before he struggled a bit, his k/9 wasn’t that far apart from other good relievers, but he had faced significantly fewer batters to get them.
Just a thought.
the preceding post was a great success.
so how about that

our bullpen sucked one year, then our starters sucked. that was frustrating, but I don’t hate the Yankees because of that.

The 2009 Texas Rangers offense: sigh...
Tex pulls an Ian Kinsler
Hank is 7 runs below a zombie replacement at first base. Do you realize how terrible that is? Zombie’s can’t think, they’re slow, and they’re often ejected from the game for eating opposing baserunners’ brains. - Ben quantifies Hank Blalock
Fast Freddy Guzman?
I’ll be damned.

Ok so while I'm here, lets talk baseball
If the Yankees win, they so bought the pennant, nah mean?
Dont liberal sabremetrican nutbags actually argue the rich teams cant buy pennants in baseball? Yeah, they’re factually insane, unless you categorically state good players dont matter..which might be true in football lol, but not baseball.
But yeah, part of me still expects the Yanks to choke somewhere yet, nah mean? Just half expecting it.
I’m not as anti-Yank as in years past though. I like Tex, and even Arod, I’m almost rooting for.
walk in the tying run!
I dare you!!!

He has a point, another reason to hate the Yankees is that they get all the calls by the umps. Especially against the Rangers.
