Episode 142: Don't pull the plug just yet Sep 03, 2006

Show notes

The Angels manage to take a series against the team with the best record in baseball. Sure they have not been playing that well, but it is still positive momentum. Kelvim Escobar pitched like a Big Dog and got a much deserved win. More errors and unearned runs, but we come home happy.

Episode 141: Now on life support Sep 02, 2006

Show notes

Oakland loses and the Angels win. Though it is unlikely that it will matter, for the day we enjoy the fruits of victory and pulling a little closer to the Athletics. Chone Figgins 10th inning triple clears the bases and leads to the win.

Episode 140: The fork in the coffin Sep 01, 2006

Show notes

It is September and the wining has yet to begin in ernest. The Angels drop the first game of an important road-trip 9-0 to the Detroit Tigers. September call-ups do not make a dent in an offense lacking punch, a defense which is porous, and a pitching staff which is young and tiring.

Episode 139: First of many more wins? Aug 30, 2006

Show notes

Big clock is ticking on the 2006 Angels season and we cannot lose too many more games. John Lackey pitches well and the offense supports him. Lackey ends the losing that came with the flip of the calendar to August and we can only hope that he runs off a good September.

Episode 138: Blindly Superstitious Aug 29, 2006

Show notes

Yuck. Steven demotes Jered Weaver as a big dog resulting in catastrophic consequences. In his worst outing of his young career the Angels had too big a hole to recover from and now have an even bigger hole to dig out of in the standings. Too late baby now, its too late.

Episode 137: Short, but not so sweet Aug 28, 2006

Show notes

In a very short game played up in the Emerald City, the Angels could get nothing going against King Felix. Kelvim Escobar pitched very well and was deserving of the win, but the offense was nowhere to be found. This episode was almost longer than the game.

Episode 136: Saunders hides the broom Aug 27, 2006

Show notes

No sweep for us. Joe Saunders brought his D- game to this afternoon's game in a city near Los Angeles, but the Angels still managed to put a scare into the Bombers. After being down 8-0, we battle much of the way back and lose 11-7. Questionable umpiring continues to work against us and we must play the guys in Blue too.

Episode 135: How A-Rod became K-Rod Aug 27, 2006

Show notes

Back in the saddle and more beating-up on the Yankees. Why is it so fun to kick dirt on a fancy person? After a night off Steven and Jeff carry on a little too long, but have a giddy time celebrating Halo dominance over the Bronx. Jeff breaks down the numbers needed to make the playoffs.

Episode 134: Pinball wizards TILT Aug 24, 2006

Show notes

No amount of good luck on defense could offset the silent bats and questionable coaching at third base. Jered Weaver now knows what a major league loss feels like as he makes one mistake to one of the games greatest hitters, David Ortiz. Maybe Steven was right.

Episode 133: Steven says we're done Aug 23, 2006

Show notes

No more withholding judgement for Mr. Miranda. He cannot wait for the weekend and puts the preverbal fork in our 2006 season declaring that we lack what is necessary to make the playoffs. Apparently winning more than anyone else since the All-Star break is not good enough for him.
