Uh Oh
Ervin Santana's average fastball so far through two innings today: 94.6mph, with a high of 96.3. Ponson's also being reported a bit higher than usual, but not to this degree. It seems Ervin may (may) finally be getting better.
* Do note that Ervin had good velocity in years prior to 2008 without being awesome, so this doesn't automatically mean that we're boned.

Don't you?
Healthy, 100% Ervin Santana is terrific.

I do.
I just think sometimes maybe it’s SSS? Shouldn’t you wait at least until he’s done pitching this one game? And I’m not convinced that you can say he’s healthy/hurt based solely on his average fastball velocity.

This isn't so much a healthy/not healthy thing as a 100%/not 100% thing
and you can’t fluke your way into high velocity. It looks a lot like Ervin has improved today.

Didn't he have the same thing six weeks or so ago
and came out the next start and got shelled? It could just be coincidence – isn’t this his first start post ASG?

He hasn't thrown this well all year
We’ll see which way he goes. I’m just raising awareness.

I can't wait until next Felix start where you declare his velocity is normal.

I think I'll wait until the end-of-game recap post before declaring happiness.

This is just our bad news for the day
Which means any more news that comes out today will be good news
Good News!
Everyone on the M’s is now injured aside from Cedeno and Johnson!

It's impossible for Lopez to get hurt out of awesomeness

As a large-bellied person, I will disagree.

So The Angels
get a scandalously fortunate sweep against the Yankees, and then get to add more talent. Stop this train, I think I know what the end of the line looks like
Don't believe the lies Bill!!!! look at the sparkly ERA!!! Sparkly, Sparkly!!! - McCovey Chronicles
I think it's the part where he seethes silently for being bumped down another spot.

Angels have scored the second most runs per game in the AL
Anyone ever look at the Angels offense and think “That looks like a top of the line hitting force”?

Any lineup with Figgins
Izturis and Willits in it, just doesn’t seem like it should score much.
[DELETED ZOMG NO POLITICS]
Right right
I know that Figgins is good, but he just doesn’t look like he should be.
It’s stupid and illogical.

We should acquire his best friend Juan Pierre from LAD to mess with his head
Seriously though, I hate that I can’t hate LAA. They are scrappy, win games, are nice to animals, help old ladies across the street, speak grammatically, etc.
Chicks dig the long ball.
Motherfucker.

I guess I should use more advanced stats.
.334 wOBA this year.
Don’t talk bad about my guy.
