Saturday, October 15, 2005Liveblogging: ALCS, Game 4Tonight's matchup: Freddy Garcia vs. Ervin Santana
Well, this is basically it, win or face a large uphill battle to make it to the World Series. There is honestly no Angel pitcher I feel more comfortable with in a big game like this than Santana. Not to mention, he shut out the White Sox back when they were tearing the AL up. If the offense shows up, they have a chance, if it doesn't they have almost none. Let's do this! JOSH (7:30): Ok, so I was wrong. Santana has no control, walks 1, hits 1, gives up a home run, and 2 of his three outs were long fly outs, all in 34 pitches. Let's hope Bud Black can figure out the problem and solve it before the next time. Meanwhile, if the Angels don't score within the first few innings, it will feel too much like the last game. JOSH (7:56): The Angels finally get a rally going, with an Ersty walk, a Kotch infield hit with error, and a Bengie single to CF. Of course, with 1 out and runners on first and third and Finley was up. What did I predict? GIDP. What happened? GIDP. And it's really an obvious prediction. And now, it is apparent that there was catcher's interference. Angels are screwed again (of course, they are just as screwed since they put Finley in the lineup). JOSH (8:12): This might be the worst umpiring crew in the history of the LCS. And they are a bunch of liars, too. Anyways, Finley still should not have swung the bat in that situation...he should have bunted to guarantee the single run (which would have pulled them to 3-2). Fucking ridiculous. JOSH (8:26): Ckotchy gets the Angels best hit of the game, a double that scores GA from 1st. It's 5-2 White Sox after 4. JOSH (8:41): This is the worst officiating screw job over an entire playoff series I have ever seen. This time, Erstad tagged Podsednik on a pickoff attempt by Shields, but it was called safe. This leads to another run. JOSH (9:17): God damn fucking piece of shit umpires. At least neither of those things (the steal that should have been an out and the umpire being in the way of Figgins when he was receiving Vlad's throw) led to a run. JOSH (10:03): The only group of people that should be more embarrassed than the umpires of this series is the Angels offense. Pathetic. Comments:well, the series is not over, but if the chisox have to win, I hope they do it in 5 or 6. If they were to win in 7, there'll always be a "what if" factor about game2. not all is blue in socal today. after all, we got two spectacular wins with usc and ucla. I am sorry, but even without it going 7 games there will always a "what if" factor about game 2. It completely changed the momentum of the series and the Angels have been completely flat in every aspect. If that call goes the correct way, they may still have gotten creamed these last two games, but it is no guarantee. HA ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. It's just not your year, is it boys? You're definitely getting fucked hard, directly in the ass. The fix is in, what can I say. Just roll over and die -- don't even show up for Game 5. GO SOX. funny, even after lucas packed up his bags and went home, we are still getting troll posts that sound a lot like him. |
