Friday Night GAME THREAD - Bleached Laundry of Cicero @ Angels - 7 pm
Kelvim ESCOBAR vs. Jose CONTRERAS
TV: FSN Cable - RADIO: 710 A.M. (ingles) - 830 A.M. (spanish)

Do you realize the White Sox traded Esteban Loaiza to the Yankees for Contreras? Bet the Bombers wish they could un-do that spell...

And a stalwart lover for sure
These are the riches of the poor

Tonight I will be sitting in the Dimaond Club for hopefully Mike Scioscia's 626th regular season victory as Angels Manager. He'll probably surpass Bill Rigney's 707 losses sometime late in the 2009 season - KC delivered #538 yesterday, you do the math.

Think the Pale Hose blows? Check out their version of the truth at the South Side Sox blog.

The poll is so true

I thought the Chicago White Sox were some kind of minor league team that filled in once in a while until millions of fans came out of nowhere after 05.

There were quite a few there @ the 2005 ALCS.

clincher. They all said they flew out to see this game...they've been waiting for years.

I was the last Angels fan out of the stadium that night (remember, I never leave early, and enjoy taking in even the most bitter of losses)...I walked down my usual exit ramp and suddenly said...what's that smell?

It was the smell of the champagne coming from the visitor's locker room seeping up to the exit ramps on the first base side.

Talk about the wrong exit route... I still can smell it. Usually the smell of champagne and alcohol is a celebratory odor. Not in this case....

Boo hoo.

There were about 800 Chisox fans ...

... behind the visitors dugout after ALCS Game 5 in 2005 celebrating Chicago's advancement to the World Series. Roger and I sat in the left field upper deck in section 507 that postseason. Afterwards we descended the ramp down to the terrace level and walked towards the first base side (where our car is always parked). Congratulations, the best team won, good luck in the World Series, and wait until next year. We only viewed the Chicagoans celebration from afar and continued on into the parking lot.

The White Sox have won 8 of the last 9 games I have seen them play in Anaheim. Hopefully the Halos will take 2-of-3 this weekend.

Yeti, I saw them, too...

I watched them from above the Angels' dugout (I was in F102 that drizzly night and did a "horizontal move" in the late 9th inning when everyone headed for the exits). A young kid got a bat from AK, and I was there catching sunflower seeds being thrown out from the dugout rats (who would want the leftover sunflower seeds -- throw me some gloves or bats or something!). I watched them until I started to get downright soaked by the drizzle then headed out through the champagne aromated halls.

I appreciated and understood their band of brotherhood, as I felt the same way gathering with a slew of fellow Halos fans in October 2004 at Oakland when Davanon caught the final out in deep left to clinch the division title! We rocked until security escorted us out of the park.

Moving in the Right Direction

Well Mr. Rev.

Diamond Club Seats ! You are going in the right direction. But where do you go from there ? ? ?

To the Bench!

Stoneman finally lands that big bat...

Diamond Club Blows...

Sat there about 5 times...and every time I yell, I have half the freakin' section looking at me like I am a freak of nature. What's wrong with making noise? Noise making is not only for the bleachers, folks. (I don't drink at the games either, so "he's drunk" doesn't apply when they say that about me).

This reminds me ......

of a similar incident. A few years back, I was at an Angels game in Toronto and was lucky enough to have a premium dugout level seat behind home plate (it's only two rows of seats, for a total of maybe 40 seats, tops). I'm quiet the whole game, but when Vernon Wells got thrown out at the plate, I jumped up and screamed "YOU'RE OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!".

Awkward. 1) I'm in the Jays home park 2) The people in these seats, at the VERY MOST, applaud politely. Everyone in those seats gave me a look (not a glare) as if I had loudly farted during an opera. I actually sheepishly said, 'sorry....' and sat back down. I'm not going to complain because the fans I've encountered at Jays games have so far been great. I can't imagine the idiots at Fenway or Yankee stadium.

On a side note, because the seats are right next to the dugout, I actually met JOSE GUILLEN in 2004. And he was SO nice! He shook my hand and was very pleasant.

Lame

Really, half of the Diamond Club?

Every time, i have sat there there has never been a problem about screaming or yelling for the Halos.

Next time you have Diamond Club tix i'll trade you my tix.

Halos Heaven
