World's A Mess, It's In My K's: Blue Jays 8, Angels 4

Figgins can't field grounders
And Vladdy can't shag flies
Man, am I glad I missed this one. I was at UCLA's Royce Hall watching the Hollywood Symphony Orchestra; by intermission, the Angels had tied it, but by the time we got out, they'd lost it in a way you'd figure the Royals might, with K-Rod H-Bomb giving up four. It's only one game, but nobody could help themselves tonight, not Tim Salmon (who flied out with two out in the seventh and the bases loaded) nor Mike Napoli (despite homering, he also pop bunted into a double play in the eighth).

Okay, so when do the Angels stop looking pathetic? Beats me.

Hey man,

long time reader, first time commenter. the game was disgusting. the decision to have 3 for 3 Napoli attempt a suicide squeeze with one out was awfully suspect. Then despite runners on the corners with NO outs in the bottom of the ninth, the Angels couldn't score.

KRod pitched a fine top half of the 9th... once the Angels proved they were the most punchless team west of Kansas City, I couldn't even blame him for falling apart.
 
I must not think bad thought.
 
Dammit, that should be "thoughts". Try and match an X reference with an X reference and I screw it up.
 
We're desperate. Get used to it.
 
LOL!
 
Napoli as had a total of three sac bunts in six years of his professional career. He had gone 3-for-3 with an HR, there was one of the fastest players in the minors on third base in Erick Aybar and only one out.

So Scioscia asks him to lay down a sac bunt for the squeeze, the most telegraphed move in the Angels playbook.

Mike is a knave, and Joe Maddon couldn't be farther away.
 
A knave? Incompetent, maybe, but not a knave.
