Oh, sorry, I was eating my words.
I can't believe the way Santana pitched today. He should've had the win today. But that doesn't really matter. What matters is that he totally impressed everyone. When it got to the top of the 5th, I stopped and really thought about it- "OMFG. He's pitching a shutout. NO! A NO-HITTER!!!!" Then he gave up a hit, and finally a run, but oh man. He pitched AMAZING. I feel like a total ass for what I said yesterday. Those words are really starting to leave a bad taste in my mouth now...
Shields and K-Rod almost gave it away. I'm glad all the clutch plays there in the top of the 9th came through.
Oh! I've totally forgotten there was a game this morning.
I guess they cancel out. Doesn't even matter that we played this morning. Lackey didn't get the win, Beckett didn't get the win, so it's still even at 15 wins.
As much as I can't stand how loud and obnoxious the fans are at Fenway, these were MUCH more interesting games than all three combined in Toronto. YAY.
And I still can't stand Manny Ramirez. He looks like the Predator. And wtf kind of name is Coco Crisp??? I'm going to call him Cookie. And how about Youkilis getting thrown out? Good. Go. Your stance is ridiculous anyway. You bounce up and down like a Mortal Kombat character at ready before they fight. FINISH HIM! JOHNNY CAGE, WINS!
Gag-knee blows it, yet again. His ERA is over 12. That's ridiculous. Poor guy. I feel bad for him. Oh well. Better for us. They brought him in and I sighed with relief thinking, "hell yeah! Now we really have a good chance." Ha! And that's not a good thing - for him anyway...
Damn, Lackey was pissed. I haven't seen him like that all season.
I should have so much more to say than I do. But I'm still a little put back by this whole thing with Santana. Maybe I'll continue with this tomorrow when I can comprehend what he just did.

ReplyDeleteIt's paragraphs like these that keep me reading your blog =). I never thought about it before, by Ramirez really DOES look like the predator because of his hair, haha. And does K-Rod = Johnny Cage? I can see that he would since he has those glasses lol.
Anyways, I was also VERY surprised how Santana pitched, which is obviously a good thing. He had great control and was getting ahead of batters and for the most part, shut out the dangerous Red Sox hitters. I thought that Santana versus Beckett was the perfect recipe for disaster for the Angels, ESPECIALLY since it was a road game against the RED SOX. We all know the Santana historically has struggled on the road, and playing against a team with a potent offense certainly doesn't make his job any easier.
Oh, and how about Ryan Budde? He got his first major league hit against the all-star Josh Beckett in Fenway which is a very hostile environment for road teams. He now has some bragging rights. How many people can say "I got my first big league hit against Josh Beckett"?. Not very many I would assume.
And to wrap things up, all in all it was a good day for the Halos. They had their mind set on at least splitting the double-header, and they were able to accomplish that goal. Now let's pray that the lackluster White Sox can pull some magic out of their asses and beat Seattle.
