    The sweep up in the China Basin in whatever the phone company is called now park, was really sweet.:hi5::up: Especially when the team was shorthanded.:up:
    The sweetest part is getting 3 runs off Lincicum in the 8th to steal the final game.

    Getting a sweep in the desert against the snakes is great:up:
    Ending the week up by a game and a half is even better.:up:

    Seems like every time I go to a game this year we get blown out lol. :pity:

    I have tickets for Sunday's Lackey v C.C. show down. I was at Lackey's last start (only good game I've been to this year) hopefully he has a repeat performance. Watching Andru Jones go deep 3 times yesterday made me want to yack.

    I miss the days of Texas being an easy win.

    Vlad and Hunter on the DL, out 3-4 weeks. Hunter is having a really great season, he'll be missed. Hopefully Juan Rivera can stay this hot until they get back. Worse part about this is now GMJ gets to play.

    Great series:up:
    It was really good for me and my mom to see both the Friday and Saturday games live with the big comebacks in both. :yes:

    Also the team is still undefeated in the sleeveless jerseys.:up:

    I enjoyed watching all 3 games this weekend. Sweeping the Yankees is always a great feeling. Hopefully we can stay hot after the all star break.:hi5:

    This team is a lot of fun to watch right now. Who would have guessed it with quinlan and gmj in the lineup lol. Was nice to see Santana have a good start.

    And how about morales? I mean he isn't teixeira but he's a lot better than kotchman offensively so that trade worked out. Not sure we aren't better off with morales and spending that 100 mill+ elsewhere. Of course it is still early, but so far he's doing everything we need.

    So far a perfect week.:yes: A winning streak now up to 7 games.:up:

    The best thing about the Thursday night win, is that team is still undefeated in the sleeveless jersey.:up:

    I actually believe that it comes from Bobby Abreau and his influence. It is my view that he is in fact the actual hitting coach for the younger players. I believe that he is one who is advising Morales, Isturis, Aybar, and Rivera, and is making them all a lot better.

    Big series this weekend. Hopefully Saunders/Weaver/Lackey can pitch well. Can get a nice lead over Texas if we can take this series.

    And, here's a good article on the team from espn.com

    Yikes, stinko game at Camden Yards tonight.:pity:
    But, the one hit by Vlad was incredible:tongue2: The ball bounced at least 18 inches in front of the plate, and Vlad then hit it into left for a single.
    I believe that Vlad can have a carrer in cricket after his baseball carrer is finished:shifty:

    Saunders comes off the dl and gets the start today. I hope he does well. We need to get back on track.

    Just heard the Angels are close to getting Scott Kazmir for two prospects Alexander Torres and Matthew Sweeney. I never heard of those guys but it's clear TB is hurting in the payroll department. I wonder if this means Lackey won't be back in LA next year.

    Kazmir will help us down the stretch. Im glad we finally made a move. And I hope we can lock up Lackey for a multi year deal soon.

    what kind of prospects are those? Kaz has the ability to be one of the leagues best, but he will be extremely frustrating at times due to him not living up to it. clearing $20 million off the books with capible replacements is a good thing when Crawford and Upton are going to be up for renewal soon.

    I heard they're average at best. Nothing special. Tampa is worried Kazmir will break down and they'll be paying him 22 million for nothing.

    absolutely, it has to be a cause for concern, infact thats one of the main reasons the Mets traded him way back when. but fact is, its a guessing game whether he will or not.

    we have guys in AAA right now that could likely step up and match Kazmirs production last year, and definitely do much better then his production this season. thats a huge reason we traded him. if we had no one to replace him, we likely would keep him and hope for the best.

    Like the Kazmir move. Not sure what we're getting but he'll be better than Trevor Bell, and maybe we get lucky and he really reverts to his old form for a bit. If we can get lucky it's a huge move for at least this season.

    Seems like people are saying this means we're saying goodbye to Lackey. I really hope not. The staff is missing an ace if Lackey leaves, and Kazmir isnt that expensive.

    Big road trip coming up. We have a really tough schedule to end the season. Hopefully we can beat up on Boston and Texas.

    Does this ump crew owe Nick Green money or something? WTF lol

    If a guy check swings and yells at himself for going...maybe that's a strike.

    And 4 hour+ baseball games are just silly.

    It was a pretty exciting game though, well from the 5th inning on. Figgins made a hell of a play to save the game in the 9th. Looking at Mike Scioscia's facial expressions during the game are great, you can tell the guy just hates coming here.

    Yeah that pitch to Green looked good to me. Someone should have reminded Juan Rivera that it was the 9th inning with 2 outs, nice to see him doing an impression of Manny Ramirez and taking his time getting to that fly ball.

    just saw what the Angles players did with the respect of Adenhart, and i must say, that was one of the most classiest thing i ever seen. What a classy move by the players, and what a great moment in baseball history
