Random Song Lyrics
I know that you have suffered, lad,
But suffer this awhile:
Whatever makes a soldier sad
Will make a killer smile.

With an outside chance at 20 wins, Lackey's still on the Cy Young periphery...

What the hell?

That's two weeks in a row, and this time they don't even blame our top spot on being the Yankees fault.  

It's almost as if we were actually a real baseball team...

It remains to be seen if the wrist injury is hampering his swing.

Kotch up a notch, too
I think Sosh saw the XBH light go off, and wants to ride another one of those .400/.500/.700 streaks.

i'm pretty sure i got it in on time.
anyone know how to get a good deal on
hotels in catalina island???
don't know about deals
my wife gets 'em as a travel professional but the only thing i can recommend is her site:

http://www.ytbtravel.com/readygogetaways

click on the hotel button and then put AVALON, CA and the dates you want.  Good luck...Catalina is a cool place.

K
One down.  26 to go.
we're getting squeezed!
oh well...let's get 'em!!!!!!!!! Settle down lack!!!!!!!
Ump's zone lacks
should be out of the inning.
nice play!!!!!!!!!!!
mighty mouse played that nicely.
B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good to see
The walk and WP go for naught.
Scoreless top of the 1st
But John must be frustrated with the borderline non-calls.  Westbrook is always tough (50 IP vs Angels, 3.24 ERA).
but figgy is back!
that should count for something.
who's leading off for us?
*** Mariners Lose ***
Old news, but it was nice.  Angels got to buckle down tonight.  Turnoff that scoreboard in right.
i think we broke them in that sweep.
something just snapped within them.
Scoscia
this is where his one game at a time philosophy comes in handy.  need to play like we're only up a game.  home field advantage in the postseason would be nice.
NICE!!!
figgy doesn't seem to have missed a beat.
oh yeah!!!
he never left!!!
And I was about to post
and ask if y'all were concerned about Figgy losing his timing after a 2-week layoff.  Silly me.
GETTING FIGGY W/IT!!!!
na na na na na na.
Not gonna give GA
Anything to hit.  Dammit.
GA!!!!
GA is not concerned with a record...he just wants to win this game and then concentrate on tomorrow's...Angels baseball....
ga!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
he gets it done again.
WAHOOOO!!!!!
Hell yeah GA
Amazing he's worked up the energy to get 12 straight RBI games! :)
*\0/* *\0/* *\0/* GA *\0/* *\0/* *\0/*
You're silly, in a nice way!
Silly Boys
Baseball games are for girls!
Groupie
that's meeeeeee!!!!!!
He's been watching Vlad
Going after those low pitches.
Figgy, Cab, and GA smacks one in!
Go Angels!
GA!!!
So So SO awesome
you know, i think i can see it.
ga looks excited and eager.
Kowbell is a GIDP machine
sorry acuda. He's so slow how did he escape Cuba?
In a 1957 Pontiac
that was turned into a raft.  
I love GA...
Garret: I KNOW you are not trying to walk me. I know you... you ARE trying walk me. #### that, GIVE ME MY FREAKING RBI!
wow.
1-2-3 k inning.
Wow, John
set em up, set em down.
Sharp pitching in the top of the 2nd.
Amazing.
Lackey! Woo!
That's trippy
On MLB.TV it looks like Kotchman shaved off his goatee ?
how many pitches is that for westbrook?
42
He's done a good job keeping the
ball down.  Career GO/FO ratio of 2.70, and as high as 3.13 in 2005.
KKKKK
Even Sweeter.
Westbrook throwing well
Hope the Angels can manufacture some runs against him in the bottom of the 3rd.  
damn yankees.
how do they go from 20 games under .500 or something to fourth best record in the al?

they always do something to make me hate 'em more.

lackey's a vampire?
first in wins and era at night...
Angels stadium crowd is quiet
His glory days were high school quarterback
in Texas remember. Those are games usually played at night.
He need a few more runs now.
Go Angels!
shit, reggie streaked outta nowhere.
that was kinda cool even if he did miss the play.
where are these pitches missing?
weird zone tonight.
got pronkey out
Lackey hurt by the tweener double
But got out of the mini-jam, tied.  

Quote from the Cleveland broadcast on the 2nd out: "Anderson racing back.  If you can call that racing."

Man!  GA getting flak again.

Willits gets dirty trying to catch flyballs
in such dramatic fashion and Anderson just casually reaches and catchs it, stays clean and shiny.
where did the nickname pronk come from???
Size and strength of a "donkey"
but he was a work-in-progress when he came up, and was considered a "project"

Project + Donkey = Pronk.

I think that's the story.

what a weird and, somewhat, backhanded
nickname.
what does pronk even mean?
Games like this
Are when that whole inability-to-work-pitch-counts thing hurts us.
BOOM SHAKA LAKA BOOM SHAKA LAKA BOOM!!!!!!!!!!
I think it's time!!!!
Lackey has had to work hard through 6
While Westbrook has zipped through 5, primarily on a his mediocre 88-90 mph fastball.

Angels have to shake off the 'Steve Finley'; stop making easy outs.

so westbrook gets the
slightly outside calls?
BOOM SHAKA LAKA BOOM SHAKA LAKA BOOM!!!!!!!!!!
I'm with you rallymom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LET'S DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHYEAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
HERE WE GOOOOOO!!!!! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
*\o/* Figgy!!!!!

DAMNIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i hate when that happens.
Those chicken-shit savages walk Anderson!
God Figgy, good Cabby
it's k...we'll get them next inning...westbrook is
starting to falter.
nice going moron first-pitch swinging douche.
:)
Guess his name is 'Molasses' now. ;)
double clutch by garko
and they still get him easily!
"Moralasses"
nice
one more run and it seems like it's gonna hold up
lackey's pitching a fine game!
Morales is just a little overwhelmed
by it all. He will get his stride.
I love Morales' stroke at the plate.
I think a "stride" is precisely what he lacks!
furthermore,
LACKEY PWNS.
please explain the "PWN"
phenomena...i've never gotten that.
it's a typo for own
that's all it is.
lame
i'm so lame...sorry i made you explain that.
Westbrook tiring?
If he leaves a pitch up, Kotch or GMJ could rip it for an XBH.
is that it for Big Thunder?
BOOM SHAKA LAKA BOOM SHAKA LAKA BOOM!!!!!!!!!!
BOOM SHAKA LAKA BOOM SHAKA LAKA BOOM!!!!!!!!!!
BOOM SHAKA LAKA BOOM SHAKA LAKA BOOM!!!!!!!!!!
BOOM SHAKA LAKA BOOM SHAKA LAKA BOOM!!!!!!!!!!
you want wings...
i like it.
LOL
mice has a smooth stroke!
this guy's one of my favs!
come on madhits!!!!!!!!!!
next inning rallymom...next inning.
Maybe 4 boom shaka's
are too many!!!!!
For the record:
The all-time AL record for most consecutive games with an RBI is 13. Set by somebody called Taffy Wright in 1941 and tied by Mike Sweeney in 1999.

The all-time MLB record is 17, set by Oscar Grimes in 1922.

that play was 2 sexy for words.
Yeah, man.
That replay showed Mathis with a missile to 1st, right on target, and Kotch with a great, great tag. Not even close. Damn, that was awesome.
Angels tame the Savages!
I'm liking this.
BOOM SHAKA LAKA BOOM SHAKA LAKA BOOM!!!!!!!!!!
IT'S GO FOR THE KILL TIME PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!
the jugular, you mean.
goes in theme with your tiger and bears and lions and stuff.
LIONS AND TIGERS AND BEARS ...OH MY!!!!!!!!!!!!

BOOM SHAKA LAKA BOOM SHAKA LAKA BOOM!!!!!!!!!!
OK...IT'S K-MO TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dammit!
Somebody remind me: why do I love OCab so much?
Because he is a terrific
SS and DESERVES the gold glove....especially over what's-his-face in New York!!!!!
Ok, thanks, it's coming back to me now.
Awesome glove.
Awesome hands.
Awesome bare hands.
Brilliant baserunning, always alert.
Looks like he just loves to play baseball.
Stays relatively tidy during the game, but quick to go casual at the last out. A REAL regular guy (are you guys listening, BoSox???)
2 IBB's for GA
is this a dream?
wake me up if we lose
That is a four letter word!!!!!
NOT to be used in the same sentence as ANGELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
pussies, walking ga.
so who protects ga now?
parallasis... errr
morallasses
k MO bats behind him
here's what might happen:
A) he homers
B) first pitch pop out
you forgot his specialty...
GROUNDING OUT.
the person who got hit with that bat
deserves to get it. it's just the civil thing to do.
That's tradition.
Batter gets current favorite bat back, team ahnds over another bat from their rack.
do you mean get it as in ...
gets pummeled? LOL
well...that rally went sour fast
:(
This old man is just getting
on my nerves...
K-Rod Mountain
"hang on to them hats and them glasses cuz this here's the wiiiiildest ride in the wilderness!"
Let me go get my pepto bismo
:(
It's an "E" ticket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If he doesn't get the first guy out
it's gonna be one of those nights :(
one of those nights
Big John gets' screwed again.
uuummmm....yeah....let me take a swig of some
pepto bismo! :(
horrible horrible horrible.
DAMN!!!!!
poor lackey.
oh yeah.
how many wins is that taken from lackey now? i really hope beckett doesn't end up winning it.
oh damn.
we didn't need that at all. i feel ya, k-rod. at least nobody tried to catch that thing, it woulda sucked if that was a fan-induced homer. or it wouldn't have, i don't know.

dammit.

This is not happening!
#62 and now this "nut"?
fuck you piece of shit rod.
:)
FUCK
DID THAT SON OF A BITCH JUST COST JOHN LACKEY A GODDAMN CY YOUNG AWARD?

I'M GONNA FUCKING MURDER HIM.

i'm not worried about lackeys CY chase...
...and if we get out of this inning we could just win it by way of walk off. Our offense is good.
Them thievin' Savaages!
Blown save.
poop-rod.
Demote Krod to mopup
Can't we put K-rod's number on
Spier and send him back out there?!?!?!?!?...they won't notice it isn't Frankie!!!!!!  
Where are all those HH'ers who claimed
that we want to REST KRod? That there's no such thing as "rust"? This is only his 3rd appearance since August 26...
yeah but shouldn't he be used to it by now?
he's been a closer for almost three years now so he should be used to erratic starts. i just think there's something off about his mechanics.
mostoverratedcloserever-rod.
come on, man.
youngest to reach 100 saves and saves king the last two seasons. consider this a half-year long aberration or something. it has to be an aberration. it just has to.
He is a good closer....
He needs to go slower and concentrate on where he puts it not how fast he gets it there!!!!  
shit..he got squeezed!
that was a strike! but the show must go on!...come on frakie!!!
It got quiet in Halo-land because
SATAN has invaded the territory!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHYEAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
nah....we're gonna win....enough with the whining
and negative stuff....they're in our house...LET'S DO THIS!!!!
K-rod is concentrating too much
on speed and losing his control!!!!!!  
Even my Wife said:
Oh, No! Not Frankie....he will give up at least one run.....................no sooner than: KA-BOOM!!!

Fucking loser
I hope we do NOT re-sign him

take that back.
what if k-rod hears you...
She jinxed it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
I agree with her....everytime he comes in I get anxiety attacks!!!!!!!!
lol
don't retract, don't do it!
loser?
wow, memories fade fast.
CRAP!!!!
you got me!!!!  bad night for me fellas and ladies.
Next inning they're not gonna be able to contain
us. WALK OFF WIN...I'M CALLING IT!
BY FIGGY!!
what a welcome back!

There it's planned; therefore it WILL happen!

let Bart close!
:)
WAKE ME UP.
GO AFTER THEM YOU BASTARD!!!!!!!!
STOP THIS NONSENSE AND PITCH!!
FUCK GOMEZ!!!!!
OLD FART!!! GET 'EM FRANKIE!!!!!!!!!!
E by figgy
:(
He stopped it from going into
the outfield....WE WILL WIN!!!!!!!!!   WE WILL BE 9 GAMES UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IN THE MOVIES, THE COWBOYS
ALWAYS BEAT THE INDIANS!!!!!!!  (My apologies to our Native-American friends!!!)
What's the chant for OUR pitcher?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
wow!!!...we need a new closer!
please don't blow it.
please don't blow it. please don't blow it. please don't blow it. please don't blow it. please don't blow it. please don't blow it. please don't blow it. please don't blow it.
oh puhlease
Frankie's always struggling in the 9th lately.

Scioscia...YANK HIM.

Oh cripes, Shields warming up

That's what you call
Good news.......Bad news!!!!!!!!!  Lord, I hope Evil Shields doesn't come out!!!!!!!!!!!!   Isn't Oliver or SOMEBODY else back there??????
he's a mess
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. hold the phones, shieldsy is up!
THROW STRIKES
BITCH.
YOU SUCK FRANKIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that's the chant :)
Can Oliver become the closer
noooooooooooooooo!!!!
what's worse: wild k-rod or bad shields?

maybe this will jolt k-rod back to shape.

pirate boot would've fared better
:(
wow. frankie taken out for shields...
Weird turn of events.
Oh geeze.
This is gonna be weird :x
Frankie's got us in a mess now.
K-Rod's fastball was slow on the STO gun
What did the Angels broadcast have him at?
i though shields was our new mop-up
now i'm really confused. almost as confused as frankie... glasses or no glasses?? CHOOSE!
If he doesn't get ahead 0-2 we're screwed!!!
shields is a puss in a 2-0 count and ends up walking the batter.
wow, a strike from Shields
he's gonna end up with a wild pitch i bet.
God...let Shields strike him
out and i'll donate 100 bucks to the poor!!!!!!!!!!
HI, I'm Poor. I hear you have some money for me?
LMAO......I just KNEW
YOU would be the one to answer that!!!!!  
learned from the best!
So where's my money?
The check's in the mail!!!!
LOL
let's go Scot!!!

Huge for Shields!
wow!!!!!!!!!!

"Shields is back..."
says Hud. Be worried peers, be veeeeeeery worried!
Turn the page, move on.
Angels score, win, ballgame.
rally mom (because i'm superstitious) don't
change the way in which you do the sequence of the boom shaka chant.
I was just thinking that.....
I think I jinxed it!!!   Sorry...  :(
you know what i like about shields?
his apparent reemergence.

dear k-rod,
you are awesome. you are great. you are venezuelan. you refused to shake hugo's hand. your slider can beat the shit outta rivera's cutter. but you can not see without glasses. therefore, please put your damn glasses back on. please.
the end.

BOOM SHAKA LAKA BOOM SHAKA LAKA BOOM!!!!!!!!!!
WALK OFF TIME BITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LET'S GO MONO!!!!!!!! CLAP CLAP CLAP!!!!
what?
frank drebin behind the plate?
haha. nice.
it was like "strike?"
and then he breaks into a dance!!!  damnit!! ;)
Fan Since 1981:
The broadcast put Frankie at 83 on hius slider, and 91 to 93 on his fastball. I just went back and re-ran the last batter he faced.

Now, to catch up with you guys. Something about Scot...

Nobody noticed that Mathis saved a run
on Shields' potential WP?
i noticed.
that was a beautiful defensive play kind of way.
ugh.
in a beautiful defensive play kind of way. why can't you edit posts.
We are getting so used
to Mathis saving runs that we just don't mention it anymore....he is good...
"Kotch"ing up with you guys...
video running slightly faster than normal.
Kotch needs more uppercut.
zoom FF through pitching change...
Izzy and GMJ..Yeehaw!!!
damn it!
he didn't have enough uuumph b/c the mono has drained him. :(
i blame it on that horrible called strike .

I CAN'T TAKE THIS PRESSURE....
:(
know your role.
great AB going
SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!
dam it!!!! he didnt' eat his wheaties this morning
it was almos through! :(
damnit!!!!
shields is going to face hafner!
oh well we lost.
i'm not pessimistic at all. haha.
DAMN!!!!!
Who's left to pitch?!?!?!?!?!?!  Put another jersey on Speier and bring him back!!!!!   Go get Byrd out of their bullpen and put him in an angels shirt!!!!!
question..
..why didn't we pinch hit for mathis?  i know he's been pretty hot, but he's still a rookie, and we have some pretty impressive bats on our bench at the moment.. oh well, here we go to extras..
Crap.
Why don't we inverse the pitching assignments?

KRod pitches inning 1.
Shields pitches inning 2.
Speiers is inning 3.
Then the starter can go as long as needed for our offense to catch up and overtake the inevitable deficit...

are you and
my brother drinking the same kool-aid? Shields was miserable, but he turned it around. Frankie will too. As I said to the burgeoning vet, I'm not worried - this game is not a vital game that we have to win. If we win, it's nice since we have more of a home-field cushion. If we lose, we play again tomorrow. Frankie will be Frankie. Scot will be Scot. If Speier starts sucking, you and him will be all over the place wanting to reorder everything lest the sky should fall. Calm down.

Also, that little vet bastard wants Mariano Rivera instead of Frankie. Dude looks like an alien, Dad.

It was a joke, son.
Just back from Goat Hill Tavern...
Fuck Frankie!
Manhattan Beach?
On Sepulveda?
Costa Mesa...
at the end of the 55, across from Triangle Square!
Oh yeah. It's Billy Goat Hill in MB.
And what, exactly, is a square triangle?
respect the mesa.
hafner beats his wife.
and not with his fists but with a bat. what a pussy.
Shields...
Looks like we got the Good Shields so far tonite!
we're gonna win this bitch!
good shields is back!
we laugh, we cried, shields stopped being a puss
GO SHIELDS!
!!me ecstatic!!
!!!
he found his cojones again and just said...
...fuck it...if you're gonna hit me you're gonna hit me....here it is bitches...see if you can hit it down 0-2~!!!
stupid garko.
this is all his fault. he's supposed to lie down when k-rod pitches.

holy shit, shields is looking good. that 2-seamer is working for him.

garko from servite high in anaheim
of all places.
shields are up, he's good to go
K-rod on the other hand, haha.
*\o/* *\o/* *\o/*
GOOD SHIELDS is back....
see ya garko
sounds like a goon from the legion of doom on superfriends.
HEY! Wasn't Black Panther a superfriend?
We need one NOW!
don't recall
great 'toon though.
Scot is back!
Krod took his place is the crapper
YES!
THank you Shhhiiiields!!!
Angels may or may not win the game
But what a shot of confidence for Shields:

> brought into a bases loaded jam and pitches in extra innings in a tie game
> throwing the sharpest pitches he's thrown in months

Definitely
Glad to see a refreshed Shields back in our midst!
shields is starting to look stud-like again

Obviously, K-Rod did this on purpose.
It all makes sense now. Shields needed to regain confidence.
k-rod is a master
mind fucker too? this team is full of psych majors, it seems.
I've always been convinced
That he uses quantum physics and advanced calculus to plot bat-pitch trajectories in order to maximize tension. It only makes sense when you watch the way he closes games.
Figgy!
He missed games?  How's he doing since coming back?  Hahahahaa

That was one hell-uv-a-game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
who gets panther
SHIELDS WITH THE W!!
i just wanna say
figgy = panther. mathis and kowbell are close, close seconds.
it has to be
no way we win without friggins.
3 hits, 3 runs, a walk
clutch tag-up from 2nd to 3rd. game winning run.
exactly.
all while fresh off the dl.
wow, seems like we do this every night
lots of panthers...Figgy, Shields?

Lovin life.

Panther
Same thought.  Toss up between Figgy and Shields.

Good to see the mojo from Shields!

NEVER GIVE UP BITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS IS ANAHEIM STADIUM..!!!!!!!!!

LIONS AND TIGERS AND BEARS...OH MY!!!!!!!!!!!

SHIELDS FOR PANTHER....
...WHAT???? DID I JUST SAY THAT????
LOL.....
SOMEBODY did!!!!!!!!
NINE GAME LEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT A NITE, WHAT A GAME, WHAT A TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think
that tonight's Panther goes to Scot. Figgy had a great night, and Kendry's walk off was great, but neither would have had the chance if Scot didn't pitch a brilliant inning and a third. Confidence++
I'll drink to that.....
dare we think that Good Scot is back?!?!?!?!?!  And Evil Scot has been banned?!?!?!?!?!?
A big September win!
Bad news: K-Rod blew it

Bigger news:  Shields pitches were the best he's thrown in ages.  

Shields.
Definitely. Getting out of that jam.... slamming down in the 10th... and getting some confidence back. That's just awesome.
adam?
you're alive man?  nice to see you on here again!!

GO ANGELS!!!

i stop by a couple times a week.
u goin to puc again?

i'll be there.

a special team
it feels like one of those years.
OH YEAH....I'M GETTING GOOSEBUMS!!!
this team is special! :)
Have a quick qusetion?
Whats that magic number??  
14
We are nine games up on the Mariners. NINE!
That is
what I'm talking aobut!!!!
fiveteen
Oh yeah
the Tridents lost
Isn't it around 12????
How many games are left?
21 games left for us
23 left for the seamen.
if this was a playoff preview,
i'm liking what i saw. i can even deal with k-rod's implosion because of shields' reemergence. good stuff.
"The magic number is 1 as the focus
will be on Saturday night's game and only that game.  We'll be looking for Ervin to attack the strike zone and repeat his pitches."

Just giving the answer Sosh would give to a reporter if the topic of "magic number" came up.  LOL!

Always the same questions,
always the same answers. Nice way to make a livin'. But yeah, that's what Scioscia would say.
Woo.

i don't see my picks?
Ah!
It seems when I entered your name, it autofilled to "red floyd" and I missed it. One of those is yours. Luckily since you got the same score... it all washes out in the end! (It did count)
