More Halos/Evil Empire thoughts
- Losing two of three to the Yankees isn't unexpected. The way the Angel's lost those two was. I don't know about you, but it didn't seem as though the Halos put up much of a fight.
- It's now open season on Bartolo Colon. This was his fourth terrable start in his last five outings. His ERA is now 5.12. He has shown no control whatsoever. He doesn't even look like he gives a damn when he's on the mound. Ladies and gentlemen, hunting season has begun:
Bartolo Colon is so fat every time he turns around it's his birthday.
Bartolo Colon is so fat he took a correspondence course in aerobics.
The guy carbo-loads for telethons.
He has more pounds than the London Mint.
He's been stuck to more chairs than used bubble gum.
Ok, I'm done.
- Was that Ramon Ortiz? No, couldn't have been. Someone pitched four scoreless innings with six strikeouts, but I don't know who...
- Just our luck- David Eckstien finally starts hitting, and Figgins and Guerrero go ice-cold. This lineup is held together with Band-Aids and chewing gum, so we can't afford to have one guy not hitting.
- Someone asked me what I would do if I were in Bill Stoneman's shoes, and it really got me thinking. First off, I try to find a buyer for Erstad. Obviously I don't expect much of anything in return, but if we could just get $2-3 million of his contract back we could use it to sign Aaron Boone for the rest of the season. When Boone is healthy he goes to third. That moves Figgins to center, which moves Garret Anderson to first base. GA to first is a move that I felt was the best option over the off-season, and it makes more sense everyday.
Maybe I even deal Sele as well, using that cash to get a center fielder. In that case Figgins would move to short and Kevin Gregg would move into the rotation.
- What was up with the all beach-balls in the ninth inning? Was that some kind of mass protest, Anaheim style?
