Wednesday, June 15, 2005Dickbags 1, Angels 0What a fucking disgrace. UPDATE: Not a word from you Sean. Not a word. Inexplicable fact of the night: Colon now has two complete games as an Angel - both losses. JOSH: I was able to catch this game on ESPN2 tonight and I have to say that the Angels' lack of energy was ridiculous. This glove thing took too much out of them. That being said, Drese was wild all night and as soon as Erstad was on base his last two times I said that he would be on second because of a wild pitch...sure enough, there was a passed ball one time and a wild pitch the next. Also, I thought the plate umpire was a little inconsistent calling the outside strike, but I could be wrong. The fact that the Angels had Erstad on 2nd with no outs once and then the bases loaded with no outs and didn't score a single run is absolutely ridiculous. What a waste of a masterful outing by Colon. Comments:Oh, and Josh -- agreed about the strike zone. The outside strike was being given to Drese and not to Colon. Very frustrating to watch. OTOH, that is probably the key here: an ump with a wide strike zone is not going to fall out of the sky every fifth turn. The bottom of the ninth is called a "gut check" and you either pass it or fail it...and the funny thing about failing a gut check is there's only one way for it to fail: Miserably. It's time to retire the rally monkey. If we're calling the Nationals "Dickbags" then Jose Guillen has got to be team captain. By now I am sure you've seen his post-game comments about Scioscia. First of all, Guillen's sportsmanship is not just poor, it's fuckin bankrupt and on integrity welfare. Secondly, how chicken shit is it to say all this shit AFTER the last game? Pretty funny to see someone named "Anonymous" talk about gut checks. No, wait, not "funny" - the other thing. Oh, yeah, "chickenshit." |
