Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Game 110/162

GAME Thread - Rangers at Angels - Willie Wonka Koronka v. Black Magic Santana - 1:10 p.m.

Star-divide

I'm thinking that the Fox National Broadcast will be an improvement over Rex and Steve... Hey, life's a gamble...

Intentionally Altered Movie Dialogue:
Scioscia: Out of respect for Bartolo, I give you three days to mourn. When finish, I come back.

Allowing three runs from the A's translates to allowing 9 runs from the Rangers, so let's hope Black Magic scares the daylights out of them better than he showed on Monday...

Beat My Runs and Hits Picks: LAA: 9, 10 ... 6, 9

Johan E
That was a birth certificate scandal
not his given name...
How trustworthy R U?
I'm right
even when I am wrong.
Santana + Day Game+Silent Bats = Uh oh
Stem the tide!
Cherubs: 7/5
Reckless Law Enforcement Agency: 6/10
Hm.
Angels Return: 4 / 8
Texas' Demise: 2 / 9

C'monn... we gotta go for another chop. Chop!

Break Out The Red = Break out the bad luck
Darth Vlad: 7 / 12
Princess Teixeira: 4 / 10

Ya'll ever notice the dumbass face princess teixeira makes when he's at the plate?  He creeps me out.

Did you ever notice
Lackey's sweat beads of fear run off his face as he desperately tries to keep every pitch he throws to Teixeria off the plate.
Going for the split
Red: 6/8
Blue: 4/6
I'm skipping this one...
I'll be on my bicycle to San Diego...

Day Game Santana's: 8,12
Those other guys: 7,9

Bah!

jeff

Good season gentlemen.
Koronka being as terrible as he is, the offensive juggernaught just dominates sub-par pitching and unless scott shields can pitch 5 innings, its gonna get ugly.

3rd place team: 5/11
2nd place team: 10/14

and to think Carlos Lee has barely gotten anything out of the infield yet, what happens when he gets on his game, now thats just scary.

Dude
Santana is one of the best young pitchers around - why do you think all the other GMs were trying to get him in exchange for a bat? I've got a feeling he's gonna have a good one today and silence the 'mighty' Rangers bats
Wait wasn't
Lackey one of the "best" pitchers as well?
Ummmm
Santana is much younger and improves with nearly every start. Go ahead and say numbers don't mean anything, but I'm pretty sure 11-5/4.20 is just a tad better than 7-6/4.96...
Oh for sure
No doubt he is better than Koronka, Hell almost every pitcher in the league is better than that soft tossing sally.

Im just talking from the hitting side of things, not pitching.

Oh No! Joe "ayan" Morgan in the booth?
We will have to endure JM saying the pitch was "ayan" 100 times?
special selections
us 6/10
them 4/8
I am weary of this losing shit
Angels - 6/11
Rangers - 5/10
Pix
Angels: 6/10

them:   4/5

No picks for me
but if this team doesn't start doing SOMETHING, I'm gonna have to buy stock in Benedryl, cause they keep causing me to break out in hives.  

I don't like hives.

I'll be at the game, but only for a little while today, so expect to see me whining on here once I get home.  (It's one of the advantages of living so close to the park when you are on a limited time schedule.)

Picks
Angels 5/11
Rangers 4/10
Just curious Rev.....
 but how many members belong to HH?. Also, Have you caught very many people sneaking around like that "halodomination" poser?
Pikz
Evil Ways, Santana: 10/8
Kournikova, Anna: 9/10
When are we gonna wake up?
Halos: 7/13
Texas: 5/11

Wake up please.

Pickage...
Us:  7/13
Them:  2/6

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Rex is on the national Fox broadcast?
With one of the Oompah Loompah's
hud and buck
what a combo
Actually, wait...
Maybe this is a tryout for Rex to make the national team. Go Rex! Call the game of your life baby!
whatever happened to us getting
Hud into umpire school?
sweet
Howie playing in position.
bout time
and batting 2nd!
nice start magic
Great first inning by El Maneo
Maybe this is the game where he proves he can pitch in the daytime.
good start guys
lets get some runs today
By the wayy, it feels great to have Izzy leadoff
Maybe the offense can finally do something with Izturis leading off and Kendrick batting second. I have a good feeling about today's offense.
figgy
keep his ass on the bench to run for us
Even though he popped out
At least Izturis made Koronka throw six pitches, it actually helps to make the guy work.
I thought that too
kennedy
better get use to that bench LOL
It's not how hard you hit it, but where you hit
Nice knock by Cabrera.
gotta love those bloop doubles
Tora, Tora, Tora
high in the sky with the Sun behind you
wow
IBB in 1st inning!
Gotta beat the streak somehoo
Juan Rivera better make them play
Please man, we need this to show the opposition you can't just walk Vlad without paying.
lineup
does scoscia read this board?
yeah sure...
he reads it every day to plan how his lineup should go....lol
Mikey and your Daughter
might have something going then

The inside dirt

shhhhhhhh
it's the chocolate chip cookies
awesome
I love the miked catcher..."We almost hit him, he hits a double....Best I've ever seen."
That was very controversial
I dunno about that one.
It feels great to turn the tables...
.... and make the opposing pitcher throw 22 pitches in the first inning.
Mr. Rivers answered my question
Who's playing center today?

So who's the DH then?

Rivera
is a deceptively good fielder.
i like our chances
with kennedy and figgy on the bench. izzy & hk at the top
salmon
needs to go upstream
and I say to you
HA!
HOMERUN FOR TIMMY!!!
how far upstream do
you want him to go?!?!?!  oh ye of little faith!!!!!
Santana with 24 pitches, Koronka with 22
Maybe, just maybe, the Angels are realizing that being patient at the plate actually does pay off by wearing out the pitcher and getting to the bullpen just a little bit earlier.

As soon as I say that, Anderson goes after the first pitch. Moron.

I was gonna say
other than Jose catching, I really like this lineup but considering what a dumper Nappy is in, maybe he needs a day off.
j-mo going to be
very, very good today...i feel it...he is due...
at last
common sense in the announcers box!
Hud is in a time out and can't come back til he behaves
Lets go Fishing
Tim Salmon goin upstream!
Way to go big man!
i LOVE Salmon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
first pitch!!!!!!!!!!!   outta here!!!!!!!!!
wasn't first pitch
but yeah, know what you mean!
One of those age things
the ol'hard drive is all fuul up
it wasn't first pitch??
i had left the room for a minute and didn't hear it.....doesn't matter...the kingfish is 3 from 300!!!!   he can retire in a good place....
wonder if she can
still bunt?!?!?!!?!?
If so
sign her up!
She's a Veteran
So Mikey has to put Her in the line-up
Why are they torturing this woman?
Making her talk to Rex. Maybe they want her to give up her seats.
LOL
probably more like "let's find a way of getting his ass out of this booth"
she was too nice
to tell him ... get the f... away from me turkey!!!
Joe I'm staying down here, alright bye!
I love Joe Buck. Way to put Hudler in his place.
LOL
Stay down there Rex
Please pretty please.
Is blue
yelling "YEE HAH" on called strikes?
yes
yes, he is STTTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!111111
its
close enough :)
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!?!!
i think its ahha?
Only if this game
was rated XXX
"I was trying to work Jane..."
Uh, rex?
I'm really liking this EXPANDED strikezone
Keep it up.
hud
gets off on scaring old women
Trivia Answer
Tim Salmon, Derek Jeter, Bernie Williams... I believe.
2 outta 3
not bad
Rex is high
High as a kite
Is joe buck going to spend the whole game
making Rex look stupid? If so, I can't say I have a problem with it.
gawd, I hope so
</fits of laughter>
Haha
He just yelled at him to stop talking!
yeah...that's the ticket
put him in the dugout with buck and bug him to distraction!!!!  LOL
Its an...
Angel Lovefest! Yay.
i wonder if
gary mathews jr. talks like tony gwynn?
Juan Rivera just scared the living shit out of me
The way he was running that one down made me think it was out.
scared me too
waits until the last second to pop the glove up and make it look easy five feet from the wall...
Nice Juan
Make him think its gone then calmly catch it.
Juan is
really good at picking up the ball.

Buck snapped

OK, so I don't hear him every day
But I don't find Rex too annoying. Nor Physioc either for that matter. I'm sure that there are better announcers out ther, but there are far worse out there too, the White Sox and Yankees crews being particularly horrible.

Anyway, for some reason, MLBtv has the Angels radio feed today.

No.
If you listen to "the Hud" everyday it's pretty bad.

Buck can't take him anymore

he just has a comment every other
second and it's usually.."when i was playing.."  he just gets annoying every now and then....you have to pick on SOMEBODY...now we have joe buck to shut him up..
The dog
does no prep, or homework. It's all off the top of his head, either stupid , and or wrong
no,you are wrong
it's all about HIM
oh wait, that IS stupid and wrong....sorry, you are right!!
I LOVE IT
Buck just yelled at Hud
"STOP TALKING"
LOL!
"Stop Talking!"

Ok, who had middle of the 3rd in the when-does-Joe-get-completely-fed-up-with-Rex pool?

LMAO
it's going to be a GREAT game...buck to hud...STOP TALKING!!!!!!!  i'll drink to that...lol
yeah, this might start getting fun
I wonder if Joe Buck has the power to fire people from the Fox empire?....
if not
can we have a bake sale and raise money for him to do it?
dang
Mariners better get it going against the A's

Oh wait, I'm supposed to say nice things about the A's....ummmm, I like the shade of green they use in the uniforms </sincerity>

we can have a bake
sale and send the hudster to umpiring school and then when he comes back as an umpire we can REALLY "kill da' ump".....
I was one off on the answer
I almost said Anderson but I figured it was Jeter. Darn.
gosh, was that one a strike?
bet Eddings would have called that one a strike
for a batter 9 feet tall!!! lol
That was a weird walk, nice Ball 4
please
lets avoid a dp here
I think the streak might end today
Looks like Texas has decided they aren't scared of anyone else and they're going to at least semi-intentionally walk Vlad every time.
shhhhhhhhh
not so loud, Murphy may hear you
I'd wondered
where that guy when't
ROFL
"BUCK ROGERS"  Hud, your brain is in outer space
Funny broadcast...
Has anybody else noticed the palpable sense of contempt Joe Buck has for Rex?  It's like a dude getting progessively more annoyed with caring for his retarded half-brother...
ummmm
have you read any of the posts?? LMAO-we are enjoying Buck almost as much as the actual game....maybe more. Did you hear him tell Hud "Stop talking"????
Now that you ask...
  1. No, I didn't read the hundred posts that preceded mine.
  2. Yeah, I love Joe Buck now.
Maybe, just maybe
Hud is the now infamous SAMO
hudsamo LIVES
HUD
STFU...we know what you like to smell as it is burning!
At least GA can't bounce into a DP now
Although the bases loaded would be nice right now.

Nice try Juan.

Is anyone TIVOing this
I need a copy for the Smithsonian & HOF
Joe Buck
Why the fuck doesn't he stand up to Tim McCarver this way?

Picking on the little guy - although Rex is pretty damn buff and would probably wipe the floor with the scrawny, ball-less Joe "nepotism" Buck...

Jack Buck
your dad wasn't that great of an announcer, Joe, borderline suck in fact, his 1986 national radio broadcast call of Mookie Wilson's grounder to Buckner was like an alzheimer's patient brushing his teeth when he meant to wipe his ass....
Hey
we are enjoying the Buck vs Hud show....since when have you had such a huge man-crush on Hud? or do you dislike Buck even more than Hud?
It is kinda like
a backhanded slap at the Angels courtesy of Mister East Coast knobthrobber...
I think he has done
a good job...him dealing with Hud has been very entertaining!

 

OMFG, Anderson did something!
I think I just died!
the past week
GA has been pretty good
Yeah GA
Oldtimers day at the Big A.
GA!!!
Woooooooooo. Way to work it.
All right Caddilac
Way to go Timmy
Oh wow
Salmon is dialed in, did you see him pause his swing and smack that thing into left?
i forgot
how cute he was in those days....ahhhhhhhhh memories!!!!!!!   the kingfish still got it...and so does GA!!!!!!!!!!
Looking at the Q
I seen Mr. Downning
prediction
Koronka doesn't make it through the 4th.
He Rev
You gave the Halos what you had.

They have a case of the runs

LMAO
just don't share the Immodium!
it ain't really working
all that great...
You or our Angels
if its you. eat lost of oat meal, and drink water like you haven't had any in a long time.

Also if you can get some konyaku. it will sweep out the ol'gullett.

You or our Angels

UNfiltered apple juice-the cloudy kind
What a fuckin' catch
Damn. Tough luck, but what a catch.
damn
what a catch
Hey Angels, it's amazing what you can do...
. . . . . when you actually make the guy throw pitches. Koronka has thrown 70 pitches through three innings. It's safe to say that when you make the pitcher work more than usual, he will make more mistakes than usual. Keep it up guys.
expanding on that
it's amazing how hard the pitcher has to work when you have batters who know how to hit the stupid ball!
great catch
bummer
when rex said
"i almost crashed the blimp"

i thought buck was gonna say "i wouldnt mind that" or something like that

I bet he was thinking it though.........
what was hud
doing in the blimp?????  i didn't hear all that...
i bet the pilot
was trying to throw him out the door!!!!!
Buck was telling Hudsamo
to leave the pilot of the blimp alone, and quit talking to her.

Then he went on a rant about flying the thing

was scrolling and found this:
Mikey and your Daughter

might have something going then

The inside dirt

OMG...i WISH...then i could be in the dugout!!!!!  not that i don't love her hubby!!!!   (is he believing that???)

you needed to see the post
that was referring to:
read this
oh....
lol....
texas
finally playing the way they're suppose to
like shit
Now thats not nice
you shouldn't be mean on this site
yeah
other unmentioned sites would never say anything that inflammatory on their site

</sarcasm>

Just try to avoid that one bad inning Shake
or your gonna get Baked.

Sorry, I saw Taladega Nights last night, and I had to make some stupid reference to it.

Come on Howitzer, extend that streak
he should
reach out and swing!!!!!!!!!!!  lol
he cant reach it or he would
since vlad can not touch the plate with his feet or he is out, i believe
saw that done once....
don't remember who did it but it was funny!!!!!  shocked the heck out of the pitcher....& catcher!!!!!
that's why they
stand way away from the plate...no they can't stand on the plate or cross it to get the ball...long arm and long bat made the play....it was a base hit...
love it
they walk Vlad to get to Rivera
Holy shit
That was the craziest home run I've ever seen.
Rivera with a Vlad-esq homer
*\o/* *\o/* *\o/*
RIVERAA!!!
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
WooHoo
Juan and Gone
keep walking vladdy
juan will eventually hurt you
YES
BITE EM IN THE BUTT!!
What'd I say....walk Vlad to get to Rivera!!

WOOT WOOT!!!!!!!

Attention MLB managers
Rivera sucks, please keep walking Vlad to get to him.

Thank you.

Fore!
He golfed that one out of the park.  That pitch was at his ankles!
juan is doing
the "from his toes to his nose" strike zone...lol
It's actually quiet amazing how easily you score..
.... when your leadoff hitter actually gets on base!
iced!
rivera

star in the making?

No kidding
I think left field is in good hands for a little while.
when
will scoscia start batting this guy 5th on a daily basis
maybe he'll get hit
by lightening????!?!?!?!?!!
"everything in baseball is contagious"
yep Rex.

You have diarrhea that leads to runs of the mouth

is that how the
expression "running off his mouth.." came about?????
"everything in baseball is contagious"
yep Rex.

You have diarrhea of the brain that leads to runs of the mouth

why are you double posting everything?
lag?
maybe eyespy caught
the diarrhea of the brain!!!!!!   LOL
I want
to get to 500 posts so the forum gets all squished looking and hard too read.

also clicking on the post button is so fun.

Every time I click it I think I'm bonking hudsamo on the head with a silver hammer

lmao
you go eyespy, you go
Seem to be having
some problem with the server or my IP
site seems
to be a little slow....
it's HH...
it's bogging down big time
It's okay Juan, you still have are +1 on the day
rivera
can do no wrong!
Exactly
He's still +1 on the day, and that's good enough.
my
man-crush 4 rivera is evident :)
no only if
you reply to your own post three or five times
Thinker...
would Figgy have gotten those two Rivera couldn't?

Not that I would say that Figgy in would be better for today bat-wise...

maybe
Figgy is fast but so is Rivera
Those wondering why Greg Jones got sent down
in favor of Tommy Murphy, well, now you know. Kee-rist, Anderson.
i think he would have
but his bat is in a slump.....figgy is good when everything is clicking!!!!
Last game when it was clicking?
You gotta love HK's hustle
there you go
howie, gooood hustle
HK
stay HOT!!!!!!!!
nice
hands HK, i mean nice hit there slugger
That's what speed gets you
Man on 3rd, 1 out rather than a double play.
beltre
nice 11 hrs there beltre way to not even hit 20 this season
So glad
the M's signed him.
beltre
  1. not hitting 20 hrs...CHECK
  2. crippling your team financially...CHECK
  3. dodgers laughing...CHECK
Vlad really sucks
Keep telling yourself that, Showalter.
I would just LOVE it
if Juan does it again
Fraidy cats...
4 BBs?!
4 walks 4 vlad
career high?
Ties his Montreal best
He did that twice: July 14, 2002 and September 14, 2002.
hope
he either gets a walk or a hit
Doing wonders for Vlad's OBP
What else does Rivera have to do
to stay in the 5 spot?
ha ha ha ha ha
that Rivera is such a lousy bat...maybe they need to walk Vlad AND Juan
Does Rex explain what sacrifice means
every game, or is it just me?
Bull-FREAKIN #*&$
Pitch to Vladdy you measly cowards... Showalter is such a p*&^% to prevent Vlad's streak against the Rangers...
it does count
but why does it count if vlad goes 0-0 today? with 5 walks or something, that should not count against his hitting streak i think
Apparently it does
even if he goes 0-0, it sounds like (from the announcers) Vlad's streak would end since he's played today
Now we know
thanky, joe buck
There you go
The streak continues if he walks in all his ABs.
i didn't know that either
i thought the streak would end...now vlad's gonna have alot of pressure for his last at bat since i'm guessing they wil pitch to him in a blowout, maybe sosh will take him out for defensive purposes, if he knows that, that is the rule.
If he walks every time
The streak stays alive
it's a hitting streak
isn't it???  no an on-base streak...oc had an on-base streak....
Ms. Bug
Do you let your son listen to hudsamo? And if you do does he enjoy it?

 

which son?
got 3 of them. The 14 yr old hasn't been home-he's been at his dad's in Ohio. The almost 5 yr old doesnt care. The 1 yr old can totally relate to everything he says!  LOL
Guess the fiver
but good. Didn't know how many you baked. Only knew about the T-baller
and the baby
in fact...
the 1yr old writes most of hud's stuff!!!!!  LOL...
blah, blah, blah, blah.....
GA
Oh boy. You are on fire.
great
that hit clinched ga for the 5 hole
hahahahah
joe buck talking quickly..i love it
what a route
save some runs for tomorrow
sometimes
hud makes me embarrassed that I have to listen to him
Do you think he'll ever
make a TWIB's call of the week
why wouldn't he
fox has always sucked. joe buck calling the world series is a joke
6 pitches?
Oh yeah.
Hudler is an idiot
Joe Buck clarified that Vlad's hit streak will continue even with no AB's (except for a sac fly)... I feel like an idiot for trusting Hudler on that one
Haha...
interesting CM with Joe Buck...
Scoscia
better let Santana pitch the 8th - our bullpen needs some major rest from the past few days
Don't see why not
Magic is only a 88
hahaha
rex taking a shot at hollywood joe buck
who was waving at
he camera???  i saw a woman fanning herself..with a fan...hud, hud, hud....
joe buck should
marry time mccarver he knows he wants to
huh?????
it
makes everyone a little crazy just thinking about it
Molina on 2B
He and Maicer will cross the plate at the same time... :)
wow...
troy glaus hit his 250th homer...cool...
If Hud
mentions "el maneo" (sp?) one more time, or that it is his nickname, or that it means shaker I will completely allow Buck to kick his ass up to the blimp
Hud is in a world all by himself
"Turn on, tune in, drop out."
O'Leary is back
from outer space!!!!!!
i still
love you hud
I smell...
mancrush
more like
angels lovefest
Donnelly up!
DP kicks the Rangers Down!

CG for Magic?
Ervin looks like
a natural 1st Baseman!
who?
ervin santana
he was our new first baseman on that dp!
oh, thanks...missed that one
WHAT a catch!! WOW
Shit
Well, it was nice while it lasted.
sheesh
caught it with his elbow.
Great balls of fire
Vladdie wants to hit.

Buck you suck. You should challenge the players.

Not take the game you of their hands

FIFTY YEARS?
Vlad's good, but it's hard to believe he's outlasted Willie Mays.
Yeah Tommy
where is the smiles
Where was Murphy
in Jered's last game?  Jebus.
let's bat around this inning
and get vlad another chance!!
I like the way you think
but I don't think the Rangers' bullpen is that bad.
derosa
reminds me of that fan in boston who got owned by howie
mute
I can't take it anymore, I finally had to use the mute button.
i'll bet that ball hit the
ground and he picked it up
Do you think fox will
take the Hudman with them back to headquarters for reassignment?
DFA him?
maybe the Cardinals will take him...they take all the other Angels
i hope
we don't fall on our face tomorrow when figgins is back in the lead-off spot
LIGHT UP THAT HALO........
I only have two words to say about the game today-
FREE WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(anybody want a ticket stub for some free wings? I don't eat them.)

me! me! me!
Are they on my Jenny Craig diet?????
LLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAoooooooooooAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Way to go Magic

Ladybug is the panther for telling Mike what to do.

R&H
Not double checked cause my laptop is dying on me...

6 winners today!

E: 1
* cardinalwraith 7-5 listed should be 7-6 (insignificant miss though, no score either way)
Damnit.
I'm dying on the inside.
