Random Song Lyrics
I've got to admit it's getting better
A little better all the time
I have to admit it's getting better
It's getting better since you've been mine.

Their pitcher rhymes with "Poof" and our pitcher rhymes with "Strike Three, Wear it!"

O: Figgy! (Hey why not, he only had one hit last night, so he's due for another multi-hit game already, right?)
P: Moseley
D: C (That's right, I'm calling a strike 'em out throw 'em out.)
I am not sure
if the K to 2B is recorded as a DP in the boxscore - which is what we have to go by, if it is, great, but if it is not than you better pray for a 6-4-2 play at the plate.
Good point
But I stand by my picks!
In the 1991 game at 3-rivers I attended...
Scioscia threw out Bonilla during a strike-'em out/throw-'em out DP and it was recorded as a double play.

See here:
LINK -to- 1991 Box Score

Scioscia hit a go-ahead solo shot in the top of the 9th to win it for the Dodgers.  Bonds went 0-for-2 with 2BB's.

What's a "Boof"?

Is it the sound of Michael Barrett punching AJ  Pierzynski in the face?
Yes
It is also Scott Howard's confidante/secret crush in the seminal '80s classic "Teen Wolf."

why isn't the bobblehead
tonight instead of tomorrow?
My (Rare) OPD picks
Cabrera, Moseley, none.
quick first out!
Wooo
Hot friggin' dog!
Nice 1st, Jered!  Make me glad I own your jersey!
Boof Bonser
that might be one of the great trades of all time.
A boy named Boof
gives up the Angels' first run.  Woot!
Woot
who was Boof traded for?
i believe...
it was boof, liriano and joe nathan for our favorite AJ Pierzynski
correct and outrageous
how much the twins got from the Giants.
amazing
to think that trading away aj pierzynski allowed for this guy named joe mauer to become part of the roster...
First Blooood!!
Not walkin' Vladdy? Lols.
Vlad Guerrero
Dumb as a box of rocks on the basepaths.
Shouldn't Dino Ebel know that
and hold his ass there?
LMAO
and when he's put out he just laughs!!!!!  the big doofus...he strolled to second and then decided to turn the burners on and make it to 3rd...but vlady doesn't HAVE any burners.....and ebel tried to stop him...vlady isn't stoppable unless you are right there in front of him...hud was correct...vlady decides to go and has himself convinced he can make it.....
Boo-F
Vlad thinks he's alot faster than he is.
Vlad is superman
but he can't fly
Oh vladdy...
Why. :(
Vlad...
Is being way too aggressive with his base running right now.  How many times has he been thrown out at 3rd lately?
at least..
..GA is hitting the ball hard when he's up there.. they'll start dropping in soon enough..
Sigh
Part of the price you pay for having a flyball pitcher.
funny..
..looked to me like weaver struck redmond out twice before the walk.. why is this guy squeezing jered?
Too many balls
Weaver's command is AWOL again.
Another shaky outing for Weaver
I have a bad feeling his second inning will prove more representative of what he'll do tonight than his first.
The glass is not always half full
Boof is prety shaky too
May be it'll be a slug fest
still funny..
..that pitch that napoli struck out on was a twice called a ball to redmond..
can we submit
a list of expressions to phys to use when the OF catches the ball beside "..he pulls it down.."???
Ohhh my.
Hotness Figgy. Hotness.
He's gettin' figgy w/it!!!
Jeopardy!
Should be in the form of an answer!
Yeeeeeah.
OOOOUT! No advancin' for you!!
nice throw..
..by GMJ.. that guy was toast..
Yeah
Good night to pick Vlad for O
Oh Lord
Vlady is on the basepaths again....please vlady..just go when they hit...don't try to steal...wow...go quackers!!!!
Thanks Vlad!
Stay @ 2nd :)
Daaaamnnnitttttt
RAAARGH
looks safe to me!!
What the???
Vladdy!!!!!!!!!  Come on!!!!!!!!!
He looked safe
mess that call
bad call looks like to me
Looked like his right leg was on the plate
when the catcher tagged his crotch...
First...
the home plate ump is squeezing Weaver... now that bad call.
Erstad would have plowed him
This is true...
he would have played bowling pins w/him...
1 More....
D U C K S WIN!
They don't want to get Vlad mad
Vlad
out advancing twice in the same game. nailed by the same guy.  i like the aggressiveness, by come on.
Willits
He can fly
Yes he can...
and HE stopped at 2nd!!!!!
Reggie!!!! Reggie!!!!
Rocket man
glad that wasn't Vlad
WILLITS!!!
I love that guy.
HELL YEAH!!!!!
*\0/* big daddy!!!!!!!!
SAFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YEAH !
Vlad's the man
WHOOOO!!!
Go OC!!!
WHAT A NIGHT!!!
WHAT A GAME!!!!!
boof
boof...he ruptured it!
seems to me..
..ebel is really pushing the bubble tonight.. he's lucky he hasn't been 0-3 on sending runners home, cause they've all been close.. w/o reggie's speed and OC's brains, its still tied and everybody hates ebel.. lol..
Usually when a pitcher has given up 9 hits and
3 runs after five he has more that 66 pitches. The Halos are such hackers that even when their shelling a guy he's doesn't use many pitches.
does an..
..outfield assist from CF to SS count as a DP? i didn't even guess SS, but i was just wondering..
Two outs
on the same play is always scored a double play
That's not true. If it were true then the
a runner reaching home could never score.
You mean if the batter flied out
and the runner didn't tag. Then yes. But if the runner tagged and he threw him out at the next base I don't think that counts.
FSN HD
Anybody have any problems with the channel tonight?  I tried to start watching on the DVR a bit after 8, but it was a mess -- no sound, and skipping whole batters.  I don't know if it was the FSN HD transmission or my DVR flipping out.

I eventually gave up, exiting the DVR and just going to the station.  I tried to rewind but was unable to go back past 8:12, despite the fact that, since I was recording the program, I should have ben able to all the way back.

Hm.
No problems for me.
Cable or satellite?
Gooooooodbyeeee!!
Kotchmaaaaan!!!!
krotcher!
Kotch got a BOOF!
YAYA Kasey HR!
Ducks win now angels are dominating!  
I love games like these
haha.. oops..
i forgot that the assist was on a runner trying to stretch a single.. my bad, i feel like an idiot..
NAPOLIIIIII!!!!!
HOME RUNNN FESTTTTTTTTTTTTT
NAPS!
2nd bullpen!
*\o/* *\o/* *\o/*
Wahooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whoohoo
Love it- go Naps
i love routes
Now the Napster
is hitting like his number!!!!   Did you see how high that one went!!!!  
Boof goes poof
and *POOF*
Boof is out! - courtesy of rex hudler.. lol

on another note, i've lost count of how many times phys has gotten a name wrong tonight.. its gotta be at least 6!  think he's a bit rusty?!

Hey scottnak
My question was buried by the dingers ... do you have FSN HD on cable or satellite?
satelllite
DirecTV
Good
I can blame Time Warner for its ineptitude.
boof got the in-n-out spoof ...
ugh i'll just stop.
Figgy was out...
but who cares?!?!?!?!
They're trying to compensate for calling vladdy
out at the plate.
NOW
they're on our side...
Bandwagon fans
way to not call figgins out
like we need anymore help
Isn't someone going to bitch about
how bad Willits looks at the plate?
we win
nobody cares, we lose everybody bitches...
Haha!!
Aint getting Figgy out!! Whooooooooooooooooo
LOVE MY ANGELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i kind of feel bad for ortiz
he just never was the stud we thought he was gonna be.
twins have figured out
that it is easier to get vlady out on the basepaths than at home plate swinging..LOL
At least OC is in front of Vlad
Vlad can't over run the bases
Weaver is really
pitching well tonite...7th inning and he's still in there!!!!
1-2-3 weave!!
Aweeeesome!!!
You think Jered pitches into the ninth?
Doesn't look like it...
too bad
bobblehead wasen't tonight
only 91 pitches through 7
krotcher
could be that power bat we're looking for.

And w/ Mathews raking we look good on O.

And with Oliver lights out...
who knows, we get another title this year?
Boston scored...
1 in the 7th.  Choakland still up 3 to 2
It's like Oakland bores it up and
other teams never feel like scoring against them. Or they actually have good pitching-- either one.
I've heard that they're number one in ERA
Yeah, I think you're right.
Donkey is up in relief now and looks to be pitching well.

I would love to put some more distance between us and Oakland before the All-Star break.  Hopefully the R Sox can score a couple here.

Thanks to Time Warner ...
... I missed it, but how exactly did Weaver think he had struck out Redmond on a 3-1 count, as Physioc just alleged?
That's right.
Forget about Shea.
hmmm Weazy didn't even pitch into the 8th
Tabasco must be pissed
He threw 12 pitches saturday but booty gets the call
heh
Oakland's players know they are all tools to be traded to get shipped off for more prospects. Maybe they will want revenge and play worse.

I hate you for being so smart Billy Beane.

Can any of our pitchers hit the ball
for inter-league play?
Colon's the best hitter. He's 125 career
Santana is 1 for 4 batter 250. Lackey has no regular season hits. 1 in post- season Escobar has 1 regular season hit
Thanks -
It's so funny to see them batting.
Haren's still pitching
116 pitches. I guess they don't trust the pen in a 1 run game
reg-GEE, reg-GEE!!!
This is the only reason that Vlad is not in 1st
for RBIs. so many walks
OC is so hot..
the pine tar on his helmet IS bubbling!!!!  that's the funniest thing hud has said in a long time!!!  LOL
halos 18 hits minny 5
I'm loving this team.
GMJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GRAND SALAMIIIIIIIII!!!!!!
This is a rad game!!
ICING ON THE CAKE!!!!!!!!!!!
Wowie!!!!!!
that kid
is earning his contract
GMJ = power bat we've needed
No more calling him HGH
nor GMJ, nor Sarge Jr.  He is officially Mr. Matthews.  Well, maybe not, but he is DA MAN!
This team is clicking
I'm loving it
GA!!!!!
YEAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!
They're wearing out the right field seats
GA didn't want to be the goose egg tonight
HOME RUN
He wanted to have fun too!!!!!
GA!!!!!!!!!!
What a game!!!!!!!!  
kicking YOUR AASSSSES
Why can't this happen every game?
Who gets the panther? HGH has 5 RBIs
THE WHOLE TEAM!!!!
They are ALL panthers tonight!!!!
From another thread
Garret Anderson is done The last time GA was a good hitter was 2000 and freakin' 3. Since then he has had 4 straight years of declining BA and Slug%, and outside of a minor upblip last year, declining OBP. He slugged (loosely applied here) all of .446 in 2004 and has gotten worse. He is old, and getting older, and since when do arthritic joints, bad backs and shoulders, sore knees and hips get better with age. Where oh where in this can anyone find a sliver of hope that somehow he can hit well enough to help a championship caliber team. Has there been a championship team, ever, that can lay claim to putting a person like that in the middle of the line-up, especially in a position where slugging is about all that's required. He is no longer an asset, and frankly undoes much of the good of the other guys...much like Hillencrap does now. The Angels would be a better team if they just cut him. Teams, and often regular businesses, are loathe to put an unknown quantity in an important position, but that beats a known quantity, when the known quantity is known to be useless. Evans would be a better choice, and get Vladdy out of right before he kills us. by statlr on Mon Jun 04, 2007 at 04:45:38 PM PDT [ Reply to This ]
where's THAT
from?????
GA
Hits one home run in a blowout game and all of a sudden all of his offensive woes are gone. Bravo, way to have a knee-jerk reaction.
so your not sold?
It's more of a jerk off reaction
we look pretty unstoppable
when we actually score.
Did he just say the statistician's
name is Norm Peterson???  THAT'S where Norm went when he left Cheers!!!!!
21 hits
dam those hits look sooooooooo sexy up der on dat
der board.
hahaha
the preview for tonight's game:

"Weaver, who has never faced the Twins, is 3-0 with a 4.24 ERA over his last four outings, receiving an average of close to seven runs of support over that stretch."

13 runs tonight should bump that "seven runs of support" up a little bit.

Figgggy!!!!
Man. Wish I had tickets for THIS game....
Oh ... there's a game going on?
I thought this was batting practice.
Does Willits have a homer this year?
Time to get one
26 is the record
if this keeps going they'll have the all time high for hits
That's the Ange;s record
we to fuck all their ERAs
LOL.
god i meant *way
wish i was at this game
they better save some runs for tomorrow night
Reggggieeeee!!!!
<3!!!
So how is my OPD pick illegal
if I only have played twice?
You can't repick...
your last 2 picks.
Your last pick for "O" was Vlad. (Game 56)
I have only played
once prior to this game.
and I am a moron
I thought it was two out of three
Willits !!!
Glad we're on this side of the game
You know who is coming in to pitch the 9th?
Jose Canseco
Ok, FINE
Willits, I'll settle for a 2 RBI double.
twins fucking suck man LOL
Hey - we've had some bad games too.
remember that road trip?
yeah, 'twas god-awful... things are good for us
when was the last time they scored this many runs?
oakland has a comfortable 2 run lead
Heh
How often do you get to pinch run and bat in the same inning?
Showed mercy on them and sent
the second team up to bat. Their bats haven't heated up yet.
OOOOOH YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!
I'M RICH BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Come on defense...
Let's watch out for that 9th inning 15 run rally.
BOSTON HAS TIED IT UP IN THE 9th!!!
awesome
you beat me to it.
Going to extra innings in Boston.
Correction...
"In Oakland" rather?

Hopefully so!

i feel bad for them...let's give them 6 outs
Boston came back
chokeland:  just another blowen save.   light up the empty stands
How about Justin Miller's line
0.1 IP, 8 ER, 7 H, 2 BB, 2 HR

Only his fourth career game, too.

they tied it????
WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Oh geeze HK
Que paso :(
FUKIN' KENDRICK!
what is it with Kendrick???
He just doesn't have it back yet from his DL stint...
pienero is walking guys ugh
Yeah, HK just isn't right since the injury.
LIGHT UP THAT HALO!!!!!
Kendrick redeemed himself on that.....
Man, how many times does HK need
to get that double play in order?  Thank God that was a 16-1 lead.
Angels win
They ran out of fireworks !!!
that's ok..
disney had theirs going tonite...at least it sounded like it...was probably drive-by's...
HALO ON!!!
Panthers for allllll!
Really liking GMJ in the postgame interview
He sounds like a really sharp guy.
and now...
BOSTON IS ABOUT TO LOSE IT IN THE 9TH!!!
just wait...
they brought in JC Romero.  all is not lost
OH... MY... GOD... :(
A great nightcap to this fine evening would be...
if Boston could pull this one out.

Not looking good with Oakland on 1st and 3rd with no outs.

Eric Chavez K's
Now all the Sox need is a ball at an infield glove somewhere.
Ayup
Bases loaded nobody out jam and J.C. Friggin' Romero gets their chowda-eatin' asses out of it.  Good job.
YES!!!
Extra innings!!!
Don't forget
that Seattle's in second place still.
True
I just think we need some more breathing room from the A's before the All-Star break.  I think Seattle will cool off for the second half.  Plus, Seattle is still losing their game right now.
plus
can seattle turn the page since they are used to losing. Of course they are having a solid year so far.
Not any more
Tied it up in the bottom of the 8th, 4-4, and they just took the lead with an RBI double from Ichiro. 5-4 Seattle.
Though
I do agree with you that it'll be the A's and Angels down the stretch.
7-4 M's
The O's bullpen giveth, and the O's bullpen keeps giving.
HOLY CRAP
Romero, bases loaded, nobody out.

And he gets out of it!  Where was that fool last year!?

What a game tonight...

I don't believe it
it only makes me hate him more
Wha...
... Who is this Romero dude??
go boston
even though i  hate yu boston and the east coast bias that goes with ya.
Shit
Seattle has just tied it up.
we killed the O's confidence
Nah
They weren't that good to begin with.
Freaking...
Baltimore Areolas just blew it.  Seattle 7-4
Pedroia out at the plate
Making the third out of the top of the 10th on a LONG David Ortiz double. Tied 4-4.
Sheesh
I had the sound off, but Ortiz just hit one off the wall in center, runner tried to score from first, and was out by, oh, about 89 feet.
Mark Ellis just hit for the cycle
Jebus. Right off J.C. Romero, too.
You act like that's a surprise
We'd all be running for cover last year if JC Romero pitched out of a huge jam in the 9th and Scoscia actually let him pitch the 10th.
Whew...
To the 11th it goes in Choaktown!
Quite a play from Snyder to end it, too
I wasn't sure if Buck would be called out, or Snyder unconscious.
Break time!
Yellowed-Red values = illegal picks.

Taken awesomely by the ScottNak RatAttack 2000 program.

Chavy wins it
Walkoff solo blast. 5-4 A's.
