LA Angels of Anaheim GAME 86/162 GAME THREAD

GAME THREAD - Angels @ New York - 4:05 PM
Bartolo Colon versus Andy Pettitte

Star-divide

The Bullshit -- err, All-Star -- Game is almost upon us, and the Angels will remain in sole possession of first place, even if they succumb to the Overpaid Suckitude that is the Yankees.

In light of how old and horrible the Bronx Buffoons are this year, and given the (surprisingly) dominant year the Angels have put together, it would be easy to predict an Angels sweep -- particularly because the Angels OWN the Yankees, regardless of record.

Ready to throw your money on a sweep? Here's one word of advice: ROYALS

Post Your OPD GUESSES here.

You put on a bad show
Oh don't it show

I smell sweep
but not for us. I think we're lucky to win 1 out of 3 with Grimace going on Friday and Santana on the road during the day on Sunday against Wang.

Lackey needs to pitch a great game on Saturday to avoid one I think.

We will get at least one...
Wanna bet?
I think
that Santana is actually good on the road vs Oakland and the Yanks.  Throw in the day game factor though and all bets are off.

I feel ashamed of myself.

Shame on you......I was just if enyone ever
thought we were going to loose and then i stumbled into your post. Thats funny but with colon pitching and if Arod is in the Lineup, you might be right.
oops.....(**I was just wondering if anyone ever**)
ugh
Die in a fire.

I agree with melvin, you should be automatically D/Q'd. Then kicked in the balls, shot in the stomach, and summarily executed for your treachery.

Putting in a losing score should be
an automatic disqualification.

Make the world a better place. Punch A-Rod in the face.

2nd Game of Series
Lackey vs clemenz. This has got to be a very important game to our ace. He must be dreaming about it as I write this. To me, this is his biggest game of the year (so far). Personally, I am holding my breath and hoping for win #12.

I don't know about Roger.  The Angels get swept by KC then soon lose 2 of 3 to Texas and Roger goes all negative.  I neglected to tell Roger that Arod likely won't be in the Yanks line-up against Cousin Bart.  I forecast Scoiscia's Yankee Stadium mastery to continue.  The Halos will take 2 out of 3 this weekend.

I don't predict Angel loses.
Colon can beat a 44 year old man. He may surprise you.
My bad. Colon is facing Pettit.
Who cares. Let's win!

I'm thinking that once Pettite is gone NLT the 5th inning, we start beating up on their pathetic, overused middle relief.

our record in the Torre era
we're the only ones in the Torre era to have a winning record against the Yanks, but being over .500 against them and 2-0 in playoff series is a far cry from "owning" them.

i'd be thrilled with a 2-1 series win.

SoCal Hustlers    : 9/15

9-inning game will take close to 4 hours to complete.

Still now kowbell
R. Willits rf .324  
C. Figgins 3b .316  
O. Cabrera ss .329  
V. Guerrero dh .329  
R. Quinlan 1b .271  
G. Matthews Jr. cf .282  
G. Anderson lf .266  
M. Izturis 2b .250  
J. Molina c .231

Perfectly respectable lineup choice, all in all.

That sucks
I gotta have more Kowbell.
Hard to see him playing anymore
What with G.A. the full-time DH. I'd rather send him to AAA to get some at-bats, and bring up Matt Brown or some other infielder.
Cool.....Mabye Anderson can get hurt in LF
and then we dont have to see him for a while again.
Dude... That's just a stupid thing to say.
Maybe you'll break your fingers,
and then we won't have to read any of your posts for awhile.
I think Mr. Anderson...
needs an apology from you.

Ahh Reggie
We need you back ta fooorm
Willits strikes out
Number nine ... number nine ... number nine ...
Nice Beatles reference.
"If you've become naked..."
And Figgins makes a tame flyball out
Well, this should be a quiet inning.
And it is
Two whiffs for the suddenly whiffable Angels lineup.
Wooow.
Where was THAT one??
Pettite
Pwned the rook
JOSE MOTA INSIGHT
Bartolo Colon doing a lott of spitting out there on the mound tonight.
Whatever works
for Chubby.
GUBICZA INTRODUCES DEREK JETER
LIKE a fifteen year old girl screaming for her prom date...
After making
a 2 year old reference to Damon's pretty "new haircut".  Fuckin Goober...
Sit doooown!!
Bart pwned Jeter. Sweet.
Now watch him making a jumping throw to first because he's pissed.
nice pitch
that was pretty
that was weak Vladdy
Why No Mono Man
The Kotchman Can't Face Lefties Meme
Which is strictly speaking true, but he needs to show he's 100% back against righties first.
the speedy Quinlan
is on base ahead of HGH.

Hit and Run????

Wow
Two great plays by A-Rod.
Perfect
The Angels find a way to hit it to the ONE guy on the Yankees who can field the ball on the infield twice in the same inning.
A trade would be easy to facilitate
right now.   Just send A-Rod to our dugout and we'll send Santana, Colon, & Figgins to your dugout.
hell, we'll throw in Mickey Hatcher for free
Coulda been worse....
Looking at Matsui
this guy had a hard time finding is mouth with the chop sticks.
About as expected
Bart has enough to get past the Pirates, but not the  Yankees.
So A-Rod gets all the calls now?
Where did that Strike 3 pitch miss?
it didn't miss
Doug eddings must've called it a ball from 3B.  
well
hm that sucked
Bartolo
is struggling a bit.  

A coaching visit to the mound please!

And fire up the pen while your at it.

ah crap here it goes.
This is quickly getting nightmarish.
QUINLAN
Shoulda had that... or what good is he?
Took him five steps to go two feet
like Posada
didn't see that softball coming.
sigh...why does bart even start in NY?
Like spotting the Yanks a free win
In play, run(s)
Scary when you don't know how it ended.

At least it was only a double.

Er, single
Fickle Gameday.
Colon looks horrible
38 pitches and counting
0 outs in the bottom of the 2nd.

This is NO BUENO BARTOLO

colons pitches:
1.) Meatball
2.) Beach ball
3.) Meatball with extra sauce
Chubby would never
pitch 1.  or   3.     He would EAT them
He'd probably eat all 3
It looks like he's getting squeezed
pretty badly though. There have been at least three balls that should have been strikes.
I am pretty sure we will score some in this game
it is not over yet.
Whatever
It doesn't matter if Bart gives up a couple fat ones over the middle of the plate and thigh high.
Oh negative nelly!
a third of the way out of the inning
and only down 2 with 1 out.
Bobby Abroou?
Is Jose Mota applying the correct Latino accent to that name?
No Way
Fat Boy rung somebody up.
least the ump
gave im that one.
with doug eddings at 3B
Does that mean he is behind home plate tomorrow for lackey v big head clemens?
Where does that ump want a strike?
Over/under
5 runs/3 innings
Over
dodgers suck
Over innings
under runs
Double
over as to both
7 runs/3.33 IP
you must be talking about pettite
Bart
I guessed the runs correctly.  I mistakenly thought he'd record some outs in the 3rd inning.
and the ump
calles that a first pitch strike? wtf
I haven't looked at the splits
but why is GA getting a start against a lefty?
I take that back.
At least temporarily.
Though the sample size is limited,
GA is actually faring better against lefties this year.
No clue
They said this year that lefties were hitting him better than righties on the radio
micetits been hot!
Two on, no out
That Ump's Zone
Is not consistent
"Her" name is Dana
Other famous Danas (male or female):

*Dana Plato (Diff'rent Strokes)
*Dana Carvey (Waynes World)

Nice!
Crap with that Ground Ruled 2B
Was Jose Mota falling asleep during that double?
molina with a ground rule double!
It is funny to listen to gubi eat crow haha
I'm with scareduck. Despite my mancrush
Reggie needs to go to the nine-hole for a bit.
C'mon Figgy
Great &$%!
Bring on a bleeder, Figgy!
Figgy says
Good bye June. (good)

Hello July (not good)

OC
Seems like he's been in the tank ever since he missed the All-Star team...
Is that mofo a SHERMAN tank?
This is your all-star game, OC...
perform.
Pet this, Pettit!
Pettitte
Must be getting sensual massages from Clemens in between innings.
Like this one?
Where did you get that?
Google images.
Way to Go!!!
Huge for OC!!
Atta boy
Hell yea!
way to go Cabreda!!!
Dude should be going to the All-Star Game.
how about
a clutch hit from Guerro
Here comes the 2-run jack...
Go Vladdy!
Vlad...
Let's stick it to Petitte
Let's pet it, then beat it!
what was that?
Bart
Is going to need a lot more than a one run cushion
It is early
Lots of innings to pile on.
dear colon
you are not a fielder

love,
marcus

The Angels giveth
and Bart taketh away.
Here we go again....
If I have to hear one more time about what a great "athlete" the fat man is, I'm going to puke
get out of the way
dammit
fuck it
pull him
Joe Saunders, anyone?
0-2 Nice fat pitch out an over the plate
Vladdy
seems to be chasing a lot of those damn pitches lately.  2 seconds before the pitch came in, I just had a mental image of him going to the dirt to chase for strike 3.  Just like the mental image I got of Figgins doing likewise two batters earlier.

And now Bart-Bart is giving it all right back.  Get the fucking bullpen up, dammit.

Bring in Holy Moseley
How soon
do we DL Bartolo Colon?
Can anyone else pitch a few innings?
This is why I picked the Yankees...
Colon is absolute garbage.
bc, I didn't know you were french.
I'll take an out anwyhere at this point...
colon
fastball is a good pitch but not all the time.
Oh that's right
These assholes don't swing.
you piece of shit
fuck you. god damn, man.
fuck you bart.
Take him out NOW!!
Wow, he walked in a run on four straight pitches.
what
a waist.
Beautiful pun if it was intended as such.
LOL I think you meant waste but he's got a waist
too.
frigggggggggin COLON
going gutless on us...
anyone guess 20-14 on the OPD today?
Wow, what a pathetic showing
'Bye, Bart
Enough.  E-fucking-nuff.
Wasting Time
oliver
worming up...

GAME OVER.

Hey, did you guys see...
the Vikings beat the Bears today?
20 - 14
LINK -to- RECAP
Scot Spiezio pitches better then this
Darren Oliver
Well, this should be interesting.
A strike zone
Is a terrible thing to waste, Bart
Oliver
Better? Yes.
For the long haul?
Ugh, Colon.
shit, fuck, damn, shit
one more shit for good measure
Willits
That was horrific, almost as bad as Bart's pitch
i have a very, very short list
of things you are NOT allowed to do, things which will get you on the bench ASAP.

1.) making an out on ball 4 on a 3-0 count
2.) walk the bases loaded
3.) walk in a fucking run

Well this just got real ugly, real fast.
we got lucky
that they only got two on that....

GARBAGE

Saunderstime....

Wow
Reggie did not see that ball AT ALL.  Wasn't even close.
with that done
im going to go do something entertaining now
Yeah, Vikes covered the 4 1/2
Still No Freakin Outs!
I absolutely hate this guy.
Possibly my least favorite Angel of all time.
Run support lucky Cy Young
Which shows you just how worthless that award is.
Agreed.
Johan should have won that year.
All the sniffling...
buy a box of tissues and blow it off.

We can still take this thing 12-11, as I saw many predicting.  Colon really blows, this we know.  We knew that A-Rod owns him, and we were due for a shellacking in NYC.  

Let's all pray that our friend Limey gets out of there alive today!

Bartolo Colon hits the DL
with an inflamed ERA.

Please, let it be so.

Sooooooo...
when's Joe coming back?

After the break?

DFA colon
He's done. Stick a fork in him. Let's see if Oliver can go panther like he did the other day.
now the pen
has to keep it close, we will come back. Pettite is off tonight too
NEW GAME THREAD
GOT THERE NOW - New Pitcher - NEW MOJO - LET'S GO ANGELS !!!!

What's all the whining about.

C'mon guys...

Let's slap these NYC bitches back into their ratholes and keep a positive outlook on this one.  

"It ain't over til Bartolo starts singing."

Oops.
I didn't see that there were no outs still!  

HOLY SHEIIIIIITTTTTTTTTT!!!!

Cancel Christmas!

Word.
Their bullpen is shit and so is Pettitte
What the fuck
You fucking fat fuck piece of fucking fuck get off my fucking team god fucking dammit.

You fucking choke up a fucking lead early, and are given a fucking lead right fucking back, and you fucking piss it away with your fucking shitty pitching two fucking seconds later.  Get the fuck out of New York, fat fuck.

Fuck.

What can you say in response to that
but, "oh, fuck!"

Yeah.

our bats need to wake up big time today
If we're gonna have a chance in hell.
Game conceded
Oh, well.
Bartolo!!!!!!!!!
This umpire is fucking horrible.
I think his strike zone is two inches wide.

Wow
