Someone do something.
I’M BORED.
"I'm a Padre at heart. Always gonna root for the Padres. Twenty-five years [with this organization], how can't you? Next year I'm gonna be rooting like a son-of-a-gun for these guys and for Blackie ... I'm gonna be rooting for the next general manager here, rooting for the city, the fans, everybody. I think a lot of San Diego." -Kevin Towers
Wow, he was absolutely out at 2nd.

Kazmir. Wow.

Kazmir is finished.
And the Angels need to do SOMETHING at the plate. Take a bloody pitch. There’s no way they’re going to win if Sabathia only has to throw 8 pitches per inning.

I still put this series on the Angels' hitters.
They just haven’t been able to do anything at the plate.

What happened?
Only following on Gameday.

Grounder back to the mound
Posada is basically a dead duck at home, so he runs back to third where cano is there and he hasn’t touched the bag, Posada runs by the bag Napoli tags Cano, while he isn’t on 3rd, and then tags Posada, who isn’t on the bag, umpire calls Cano safe and Posada out.
Another play that cost the Yankees a run, Deep fly ball to hunter Swisher tags and scores, Angels appeal and get the out, replays clearly show the ump isn’t looking at swisher’s feet and swisher tagged.
To be honest about the last one, Swisher got a lucky call on a pick off move by kazmir that replays showed he was out at 2nd, which would of ended the inning.
Bad ump official scoring Yankees screwed once Angels screwed twice.
I saw the botched pick off call
and the call out on the attempted sac fly.

Man what am i going to do all week
When im not working, the playoffs are over, and the charger game isn’t until sunday.
The Angels absolutely needed to cash in on that.
And instead they get a grounder to second they’re lucky isn’t a DP, and a pop up to shallow center.
Greg Maddux for manager.
by Zach (maestro876) on Oct 20, 2009 7:12 PM PDT reply actions
They got his pitch count over 60.
It’s a start. But they’ve got these black holes in the lineup that haven’t produced at ALL this post-season. And it’s a killer against a team like the Yankees that’s been raking.

Don't worry, they'll walk off in the ninth
while A-Roid is taking a shower.

Angels really have killed themselves
inept offense and great pitching = postseason failure

and send the series back to New York.
After that though…
