I went to edit a typo and this crappy old laptop I am on had frozen a previous post so that went up twice and I had to reconstitute the lose thread.
In the interim, attention-seeking homophobe Spanky went on a spree here, so I will be banning him later tonight and erasing every post he has ever made on halos heaven - which will make this thread seem schizophrenic to say the least!
Spanky's days of crying to his big brother Blez to let him back on the SB Nation blogs are over.
TITLE: Congrats on your win spanker...
honestly, I'll tip my cap to the Sox, coz they have the talent and "magic" to beat us, without a rally monkey. The mere mentioning of 1986 and Dave Henderson cause me to fall to the ground and shrivel up into a fetal ball.
At any rate, I predicted a 3-1 sox series win this weekend. We have a chance to beat that tomorrow and you know (unless you are dumb) that we challenged the Sox in this series and the Angels will come out of it, even losing 1-3, with a bit more confidence.
To the bat flip...a bat flip of that variety is Jose Guillen-esque and will be subject to retaliation. Just ask John Lackey.
About you...what kind of loser hits the Angels blog and is not a fan of the team? I have zero interest in going to a Sox blog. Ridiculous.
Enjoy the short-lived victory and the impending Sox collapse at the hands of those dastardly Yanks (even if it does not happen, the nature of a Red Sox fan is to fear it happening; quite comical)!
Troll elsewhere; hopefully, you are on the list of people to be removed from the blog...
but now I just ignore it because we have a World Series to comfort us...Sox fans can now back up their smack talk after '04. Before that, there was no reason for talk (except that they beat us in '86, but most Sox fans forget that year, mostly due to Buckner).
just explaining what the poster meant as you had clearly not understood.
and to this point:
does rooting for a "popular" team somehow make you a better fan?
i think it's widely understood that so cal has a harder time garnering a really obsessed fan base, due to the fact that during the summer months there are actually things to do here. so what?
I just don't like ANY of the sports teams; mainly due to pain inflicted over the years (Red Sox 1986, your fans pre 2004 (talking shit when you had nothing to talk about since 1918), Celtics 1984, Patriots 2001, etc, etc). The Boston sports teams have owned all of my teams, literally.
Trolling hour should be over, you've put up a great and might defense, for which the city of Boston owes you big-time. Good night.
Church services are in about 6 hours for you. Get some sleep young fella.
we had a good start to the game, we had a good lead and Weaver made a crucial mistake to a good hitter.
We have a lot of positives, actually to take from this game, believe it or not.
In response to the spanker, yes, our game thread got outta hand. But, a lot of people are expecting the Halos to win in Boston. It's our proving ground. Fortunately, Boston will be bounced in the first round, so we won't have to face them or this frustration. Isn't that wonderful?
I for one am not frustrated, as I expect failure in Boston, predicting a 3-1 series defeat. So, GO HALOS, make me eat a helping of crow tomorrow.
my bad. but, for what it's worth, i was equally impressed and disgusted with the sox's performance today. it's just papi and that slam and the losing and the hurt. and that crisp making every catch in the outfield. but still, partially my bad.
That would've gone out in practically any other ballpark, or any other place in Fenway. Just awful luck. We actually hit Okajima pretty hard, just not in the right places.
my bad too as well. I was pretty negative last night and I apologise for that.
It was a bad night all around. Missus highlandhalo accidentally locked me out of the house before she went to sleep and I was stuck outside in a howling rainstorm. I couldn't ring her to let me back in because my mobile was out of credit.
So I had to get a cab back to the pub in the village, borrow £20 off my mate to pay for it, borrow somebody else's mobile to ring Mrs highlandhalo to open the damn door.
Things were looking better when we were ahead 5-0 but Papi's damn bat flip and Coco Crisp running everything down all over the park was kinda the last straw. And thanks to Weaver I lost a tenner to the bookie.
Anyway, I apologise. I DO hate the Red Sox, but I will be Mr Positivity tonight!
Had to remind us you were here because you picked up a game today, huh?
And yes. I've said a few times now that I like that you guys are on our tail, because it makes us a better team for it, and hopefully having two really solid teams will shut up people that think the west is a weak division.
and call Scott Boras and make him earn all the crap he lords over owners. His client WTY needs a father figure at the moment to kick him in the ass. His laziness in the off-season, followed by his slow (and injury-plagued) start, and bouts of pouting and implosions has WTY on a road all too familiar to anyone who has had to suffer through the employment of his more infamous sibling.
This kid has twice the talent as Jeff. And he is blowing it because he might be twice the head case.
Moving into that new house in his Simi Valley hometown changed his offseason more than by consuming a great deal of his time.
Last year, Weaver spent the offseason in Orange County and regularly participated in demanding workouts conducted by the training staff of his agent, Scott Boras. This year, living an arduous drive up the 405 from Orange County provided Weaver with a convenient excuse to follow another training regimen. Weaver was not a big fan of last year's regimen, anyway. "I'm not training to be a wide receiver; I'm training to be a pitcher," he says. "It got to be a little bit too much."
There's one thing that Boras knows, it's that his product's market value will only rise if the product works himself up tot he top of his game. WTY could not be bothered.
I am not happy to be reading and relaying this, because I am the guy who once claimed that WTY would be our next Cy Young winner.
we are a whole 3 games ahead, when I thought we'd be tied! Not too shabby. My pessimistic outlook had us tied after tomorrow. Even a loss coupled with an M's win leaves us 1 up.
We are still in good shape, even when we go 5-5 in the next ten games (Yanks, Jays, & @ M's) because the M's will also go 5-5 (@Min, @Texas, & home against us).
Let me preface this with the obligatory "I fucking hate Boston and all of her sports franchises", and I'll say, there really is no room for dissent on HH.
If someone comes in and countermands any of the Angels lore here, even if it is thinly guised trolling, they are called to be silenced by the almighty ban hammer. I don't agree with this practice in the slightest, as I certainly don't like being seen as "wimpy" or "argumentative".
We ought to embrace those from other cities who come here to post, even trolls, as they just give us, the true Halo fans, more ammunition to fire upon the unholy injustices that their teams bring upon us.
Just my thoughts, hopefully Rev won't ban me this time.

On a lot of reports which went something like:
This:Moving into that new house in his Simi Valley hometown changed his offseason more than by consuming a great deal of his time.
Last year, Weaver spent the offseason in Orange County and regularly participated in demanding workouts conducted by the training staff of his agent, Scott Boras.
