Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Game 135/162

Game Thread - Angels at Tigers - Santana Vs. Rogers - 4:05 p.m.

Star-divide

Even though the Tigers have hit a weak streak, Kenny Rogers is dropping in to see what condition our condition is in.

Intentionally Altered Movie Dialogue:
Garret Anderson: Yeah, I've been beaten up, but I'm not beaten. I'm not beaten, and I'm not quittin'.

Mike Napoli hit his first career ML homerun here in Detroit earlier this year, just as the Tigers were beginning to stick out from the pack. Maybe he hits one tonight as they head back...

Best bet for Angels win
Not a Kenny Rogers fan.  He started the second half as everyone expected he would - not good.  But, he has rebounded the last few starts.  I am a Verlander fan and the Tigers seem to be handling him well so I think this is the best chance for the Angels to win a game in this series. With the Tigers struggling, I think the Angels give them a good game and edge the Tigers 6-3.
Good comments, but post your picks
Look at another game thread below and post your Runs and Hits Picks.

Kenny Rogers on LSD (really)
and they worried about OUR generation

Maybe time to trade in that TRS-80 for a new computer....

booooooooo
horrible picks
and if the Angels lose, we will all blame YOU!
that's cool.
i'm willing to take that blame.

i'm just trying to be rational, here.

picks
halos 5/12
tigers 3/11
I have to state that
the TIGERS were my first love in baseball, since I grew up there.  I have fond memories of my first opening day-- temp about 28, snow, my uncles and my grandfather, oh yeah, and a seat behind a pole.  

I absolutely detest games between my two favorite teams.  

That stated,

Tigers 4, 8
Angels 3, 10

Magnum P.I., you, that makes two of you!
damn, first Napoli, now Tom Selleck
lucky chickie!
Eh,
you can keep Selleck.

I'll keep Naps.  He's young enough that I can train him right.  :P

"Train him right"
Euphimism for "not allowed to stop"
woohooo male bashing time!!
NO, I actually MEANT
train him right.  

I trained my husband and I trained him well.  

Like a couple nights ago when I read that the Angels would be playing AT St. Louis next season.  I walked up to hubby and said "honey, I'm going to St. Louis next summer"  and he said "ok, honey, have a good time."

Gotta love it when you've got them trained right.  

Oh. As in:
"Welcome home. Gimme your wallet." I get it.

I mean, I do. I do get it. I get that a lot.

good boy
here's your Jenny treat....how very Pavlovian of you!
Pavlov. You have no idea.
Put a guy who loves to cook on a sustained hard diet and "Pavlov" comes as close as anything else in describing the result.
Actually,
I bring in as much money as he does, so that's not a big deal.  

He doesn't ask me when he's going to take a gig that will pay him barely over minimum wage because he's giving the "bro" rate to some baby band managed by a 20+ year friend of his.  I don't ask him when I'm going to go on a baseball trip.  I just let him know I was going.  

well then tell him YOU NEED A BREAK
and then take it.
pix
Angels: 7/15

tabbies:3/8

I like sex
Halos -6/14
Detroit -3/9
who doesn't?
I met Cedric Bixler-Zavala.
He's a jerk. Why am I not surprised?

That's what happens when you try to make important rock jams in 7/6.

Yeswecan and I played
with those guys when they were in ATDI.  They seemed pretty cool back then.
I met him at a Radiohead concert
he was kind of a dick to me and my girlfriend.  So I stole his new album on the internet.  that'll show him!


well, he has to save the world.
Maybe you caught him on a bad night.

Probably not.

That sucks.

ha
btw, new album=a whole lot of noise
i've seen quite few photos
with him giving stupid looks with fans

do you guys still play?

hmm...
cupie...what was your band called?

i'd give cedric the benefit of the doubt...unless he was a dick to you on multiple occasions, i'd chalk that one up to him having just a bad day.  he's not all that bad.

My band... It doesn't matter
It is tough to be on tour... and then do the meet and greets.

that's all i got to say.

Prediction
Angels: 7/17
Tigers: 2/6

Expect the Angels to strand some baserunners tonight, considering the Tigers allow alot of baserunners but somehow keep their ERA really low.

Crap!
I forgot that this was an EDT game.  No runs/hits picks for me today. :-(
While We Are At It!
The R&H Chart will be late tonight. Probably around midnight, or shortly after.
too late for picks?
if it isn't:

angels: 6/11
tiggers: 4/9

if it is:

i hate you all and you made me cry and you are bad men.

you are suppossed to post them on the side
eh??
Not this time around
Rev's site = Rev's call. Not mine.
I just write 'em down.

(But if it WERE my call, Fuck no! Game started a half hour ago, for bejeebus' sake! What if your orginal picks were Halos at 28,32 vs. Detroit at 0,0??)

WOW!
Personally, I think that would be a cool game
to watch!!
For a minute there
 i thought WWED was waving him home.
Well that sucked
2 LOB
C'mon Voodoo
bust out the chicken bones
Bah.
C'monnn whats going on. Arrrr
Well, that blows my picks for the day.
I can't get it right, and we're only in the first inning!!!
Well you can be like Casey
and post some more.
Or you can be a good Angels fan
And not hurt my feelings :(

I didn't change my picks, i just never posted them to begin with...mainly because I'm a retard and forgot it was a 4:00 game.

buy a newspaper

they usually have the start times for ball games.

I get newspapers
I just spent the week in Big Bear, however, and drove back home today...fairly oblivious to the sports world other than what i saw of it on tuesday night.  but thanks for the suggestion.
I've been to Big Bear
They have newspapers.
Indeed they do
But I'm also not so desperate to be engaged in the starting times of every Angels' game while I'm up there as to go out of my way to buy a paper when the place offers about a billion better things to do.

Now enough of this nonsense.  Let's get back to watching orlando choke with runners in scoring position.

I think they have TV & running water now too
Huh? How do you figure?
Your picks are:
Tigers 4, 8
Angels 3, 10

And it currently is:
Tigers 3, 3
Angels 0, 2

You still got lots of chances!

Voodoo
is looking more like Criss Angel tonight.
Brandon Inge
is looking kind of like Granderson tonight.
The Grand Phyzzard
Hard Luck Halo=Bilbo Figgins.  And then he swings at a ball three hundred feet over his head.
Chernobyl
Just arrived at 3rd base.

What a shitty double play.

figgy was
safe on the replay....his foot was on the bag....
he was safe
OC shouldn't have struck out anyways
Attention Carl Johnson!
Don't drink the water! Jon Lester of the BoSoz has just been DL'd for Lymphoma. Pappi has heart problems. Mannie is breaking down. Veritek has been messed up. Schilling, well, Schilling is still stupid.
HK
way to be heads up!
ESPN 710
Our own radio station declared us dead.  W/the exception of Rory and Terry every radio personality on our home station Espn 710 has declared us done for the season.
um...
who was giving me shit for picking the tigers?

reality kinda sucks right now.

damn me
he looks like a reject
from the 60's..
Break out the forks....
If we continue to play like this
then we don't deserve to win the division. This is ridiculous.
I've said that one before
If we continue to play like this
then we don't deserve to win the division. This is ridiculous.
you can say that again
Are we still
in a rebuilding year ?
Yes.
Much more of this, I say play the kids and give the veterans their swan song.
said that one too
let's see what they have/don't have so we can figure out NOW to keep them or dump their butts
comeback starts tonight?
this sucks...
now it's raining there???
If it is, then even God is trying to tell us
that there will be no season comeback on the arm of Kevin Gregg.
<<<SIGH>>>>
That doesn't mean for us to GIVE up.
It means that The Lord is telling the Halos to SUCK IT UP!!!
that's true
AND they have come back before...
the rally tree is being shaken
so that all the loose fruit that does not believe is off before the great comeback occurs...
that
or it is trying to prove the theory of gravity
a.most went by
canters on the way home but the traffic was real stinky...
was gonna say we can go this weekend
but we gots no money
when does he
get paid?  
LOL last week
gotta budget for the next month
Hey, think positive
you won't have to shell out big bucks for playoff tickets this year!!!!!!!!!!
LOL
that's for sure
and that rally monkey
is screeching and jumping up & down!!!!  come on angels.....get out there & do it...
THE GOAL HERE AND NOW
is to score 5 or mroe runs before we make six outs.

CAN WE ?
yes.

WILL WE?
no.

*\o/* *\o/* *\o/*
YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!!
*\o/* *\o/* *\o/*
YES WE WILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Only if we can scrore 5 more runs before
Figgins gets up to the plate 6 more times..
We can't put the game in the books
without the obligatory Angel error.  Sad, really.  Very sad.

On a positive note, Howiewood looks good at 2nd.  Now all we need is Morales back at first...

Wow. We're getting CREAMED.
Bootcheck knew as soon as he threw that one
and now I remember why
I don't care for the Bootcheck solution.
wow 50% strike/ball ratio
What's the explanation?
Is it just a rebuilding year? Players playing out of position? Do we just not have the heart to win this year?
I vote for the latter
it just hasn't been there
we've had WAY
too many errors early in the season, injuries, pitching staff sux...players in a slump individually AND the whole team in a slump....gotta get all that crap out of the system early in the season and then uphill all the way....wait until next year!!!!
Game, set, match.
A's AL West Champs.
I wonder if the TIGER fans
get wings when the home team scores 10 runs in a game??
seems like YOU should know that one
so
how's everyone doing? Anyone catch what time the game is going to start? Can't wait to watch Ol Kenny Rogers to get roasted.....

</unbelievably sad sarcasm>

Mm.
Good! Just came back from a nice dinner. 7:05 start right? Shouldn't be too long to get the runs started...

(Part II!)

same time
same bat-channel!!!
damn.............Nice catch
where are the tigers
in the standings?
first...4.5 ahead of Chicago
they have WON
84 games...is that what phys said???  they deserve to win...
I emailed you the standings
yeah, whoopeee, zipppy woohoo Q
that's all I can muster
what's the stats
for a team making a comeback from 9 behind in the 9th inning with 2 outs??
WE...
gives a flat 0 for -6 and lower
time to watch re-runs
of everybody loves raymond...need some laughs!!!!
Welp...
2nd batter for the O's get a Homer. 1-0 BAL.
Runz and Hitz Results
What a total fiasco. Even all of us, the faithful, completely sucked wind tonight. Goose eggs for all of us. No room for US to rag on Figgins or Cabrera or Andersen or Kendrick or Molina or Santana. Fell free, however, to moan and piss and whine about Bootcheck.

I guess it is over...
Has this ever happened?
nowhere to go but up
first time it has happened this season, might have been this way last season.
I guess you win...

Dear the A's... congrats and please don't fuck it up!  And if you do... don't make excuses.
