Sunday, May 29, 2005Week in Review: May 23 - May 29Overall Record: 30-20
Games Ahead 0.5
Week Record: 5-2
Pace: 97-65
Record after 50 games: 2002: 29-21 2003: 24-26 2004: 30-20 Opponents: at vs. Chicago May 23-26 (2-2), vs. Kansas City May 27-29 (3-0) Hot: Dallas McPherson, who hit three home runs in three games, including consecutive game winners (one of which was a walk-off). The offense, which scored 30 runs in three games against the Royals (over their previous 9 games they had scored 31 runs). They also scored 21 runs in an 8 inning span on Friday and Saturday. Chris Bootcheck picked up a save for pitching the last four innings of a game he entered when it was 14-1. Not: Esteban Yan, who gave up 4 runs in a close game on Friday night, which took some pretty piss poor play by the Royals to lose the game. Brendan Donnelly allowed two inherited runners to score in tonight’s game, those being the 5th and 6th inherited runners to score on the bullpen all season (out of 49). Scot Shields almost blew the save today, giving up two runs on a three run lead. Of course, Shields and Donnelly have been great besides that. Coming up: The Angels start a 2-week, 12-game road trip tomorrow. They play the White Sox, then the Red ones, then the Braves and the Mets. This is a pretty key trip for the team. They should have Frankie K back soon, but Vlad won’t be back until the second week of the trip, at the earliest. Also, the Big Hurt is expected to play for the White Sox (just off the DL), which could energize the team that has lost 3 in a row (including being swept by Texas in a rain-shortened series). Opponents coming up: at Chicago May 30-June 1, at Boston June 3-June 5 Probable Starters: Washburn vs. Buehrle, Lackey vs. Garcia, Byrd vs. Contreras, Escobar vs. Wells, Colon vs. Arroyo, Washburn vs. Miller |
