"Something is causing me a lot of inflammation," Escobar told reporters. "I don't know what it is. When I throw, it's taking a long time to recover. It's taking a lot longer than normal."

5th of July PREGAME

6:05 PM - Roy Hallday @ John Lackey Monster Matchup

Here is the deal: If it gets any more "totally bitchen' " than this matchup ... it must be in a sport that has not been invented yet!

  1. MORE or LESS: Will the game last MORE than 2 hours or 2 hours or LESS?
  2. MORE or LESS: Will there be MORE than 3.5 Non-pitching players substituted in the game or LESS?
  3. MORE or LESS: Will the Angels score in 2 or MORE separate innings or in LESS than 2 separate innings?

Panther of the Game: Howie Kendrick

Weaver dealt like almost never before - to a Toronto lineup that had slayed him on an Anaheim Friday night just last month. But with our offensive woes so pressing, Howie was nails when needed, driving in 3 runs with 2 masterful doubles.
 If Howie can get anywhere near approximating clutch (if you believe in that sort of thing), we're going to those places that our place in the standings should take us.

4th of July PREGAME

6:05 PM - Burnett @ Weaver - Oh Canada @ Oh Say Can You See

There will be the big firework display after the game at the stadium. Whether or not there will be a firework display during the game remains to be seen.

Pregame Guesses:

  1. Inning that Weaver surrenders the first Blue Jay hit
  2. Inning that Weaver records the first Blue Jay strikeout
  3. Inning that Weaver throws his final pitch of the game

To celebrate the 2008 Major League Baseball All Star Game, which will take place in Yankee Stadium, in its final season, on July 15, 2008, Major League Baseball launched "Statues on Parade." Forty-two replicas of the Statue of Liberty were stationed around the city leading up to the game--each uniquely designed with bold graphics and colors featuring each of the 30 Major League Baseball clubs, the Brooklyn Dodgers, the New York Giants, the American League, the National League, four All-Star statues and statues commemorating the final season of Yankee Stadium and Shea Stadium. The 8½ feet tall, 250-pound statues are made of resin and rest on a 530-pound cement base.

The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim statue stood outside 1185 Sixth Avenue.

TB Plays Sweet Caroline After Sweep

A whiny Redsawx blogger pisses and moans because the Tampa Bay Rays brilliantly chose to play Sweet Caroline after the Rays finished a sweep of Boston in Tampa. This dude's whining (linked above) will make you fall in hate with Boston all over again.

Why Panther?

1. The Angels and Baseball are the topics.

2. If you are Optimistic, there is no need to bully others into cheering along.

3. If you are Pessimistic, bitch once, then be funny or offer a solution. Don't bitch twice, it's alright.

4. Stats presented should include explications of acronyms and explanations of why your numbers are important.

5. If you put stock in team chemistry, explain its importance beyond... "Santa Claus brings pennants to the teams with the best chemistry..."

6. Use the F-word once a month maximum.

7. No T&A pictures. No exceptions.

8. No Ticket Sales.

Thank You.
