April 12th-15th

Game 1, Att: 48,653



Opening day and it was a long one, as both teams cancelled each other out. Although the Angels after scoring their runs didn't create another chance to win. In the 9th and 10th we loaded the bases but couldn't get the winning run, in the 11th we managed to sneak the win. The Angels hit both home runs of the game, Willingham sent the 2nd pitch he saw as an Angels player flying out the ground in the 2nd and in the 4th Napoli opend his account for the year.

Game 2, Att: 38,615



After 7 scoreless innings it looked like the Angels may be shutout, during the game we'd picked up runs here and there to go into a 7 run lead. In the top of the 8th Belliard got on base and we pulled Feliz who was getting tired, Benoit came in and got 1 out but allowed 3 runs of his own, Francisco came in and completed the innings with no further damage, going into the top of the 9th Strop came in got the 1st 2 batters out by then imploded and allowed the Angels to draw level during the inning change over having chewed out a rather poor effort and deciding who to pitch next, Kinsler went out to lead off the bottom of the 9th and he did it in some style a walk-off home run, and we snatched the win.

Game 3, Att: 48,606



Another tight one against the Angels and today it went their way. They took the lead in the 4th and scored what turned out to be the winning run in the 5th, thanks to an error by McCarthy he went to throw Belliard out by his throw didn't find Davis and that enabled Matthews to get from 2nd to home. Saltalamacchia hit our only run of the game in the bottom of the 5th for his 1st 4 bagger of the year. But the Angels who produced some good defense held on for their 1st win of the year.

Game 4, Att: 49,108



Again the Angels ran us close, but once again we did just enough to get the win. We got off to a good start by scoring 4 runs in the 1st 2 innings, the Angels got on the scoreboard in the 6th we cancelled that out in the bottom of the 6th, then in the top of the 7th with 1 on Napoli hit his 2nd home run of the season they added another run to make it a 1 run game, we extended the lead in the bottom of the 7th and this time Perez and Strop did enough to secure the win for us.
