that's good for 2...

time to pull Judith?

Past time. >_<
Be good Scotty.
oh dear sweet baby jesus granderson

hes a good baseball player

ahh

thanks for the new thread

c'mon Judy

lets get out of this!

GG.

Staying with the starter. Leadoff double.

Scioscia leaving a pitcher in

so far, not good

scioscias not gonna get a reprieve from me this week

first he takes out a pitcher too early, now he leaves one in…i dont really get it

and he bunts with no outs and our best hitter up

bad week

probably b/c he saw everyone bitching, so he wanted to show us what happens when you leave a pitcher in too long
difference: garland started the inning over the "limit"
Did he take Saunders out too early? Or did he save the game?

What about Lackey? Should he have been left in?

saunders came out too early

taking lackey out would also have been a mistake.

Lackey was fine

he just made a mistake. there was no reason to take him out

Bring in Arredondo

Angels need a strikeout

ok now this is where Soth should bring in a reliever

the chance of Garland getting a strikeout after throwing this many pitches is remote.

wow a sac bunt that worked?

maybe we should try one of those…sigh

We did. With our best hitter.

Guess what happened?

Jeeez...

I’m bored… the last few games have been dull…

Shoot, Mike, you left him out to start, might as well see if he can get out of it.
What the hell does it take to get a run in this game?
obscene things that can not be mentioned
more than 2 baserunners in a half inning, at least...
I said this in the last thread right before we moved.

With the offense being this bad they should just try Morales at 3B. He had a very accurate arm from 1B whenever I’ve seen him and he had decent hands. But most importantly he can hit circles around the black hole

i agree........kendry cannot be any worse at this point
no kidding

shift Wood to SS and just give Kendry a shot.
it cant hurt anything offensively

Hard to disagree. Unlikely he could do worse offensively, although

I have reservations about his defensive mobility.

if Miguel Cabrera

could play 3rd base, then im sure Kendry can do it as well

If he's as bad as Guillen has been then he's have lost us this game by now.
hello, Irvine... or Redondo Beach... or whatever it is you guys are calling yourself these days...
Hard to get to the new thread when you don't put a link directly to it...

my computer won’t even let me get to the top of the page SBNation gets SOOOOOOOOO slow…....

i thought it was just me

my computer freaks out everytime i come here

link was three posts below the new thread message
never saw it...sorry!
Where did that miss?
methinks we can pick off granderson
thanks de anaheim
Carlos Guillen had better buy Kenny Rogers a frosty brew after this game...
THIS UMPIRE SUCKS
wow thats horseshit!
Ok nevermind

Shields > Umpire

that was a strike
where the hell was that???
WTF BLUE?!?!
UMP MISSED THAT ONE!

Christ….way to make up for it Scot

****ING BULL****!!!!
hell yeah!

wow i jsut scared the shit out of my roommates

game day showed that as a strike easy
Shields struck him out twice :)
uh can we walk Mags.....
instant replay anyone?
OWNED.

Screw you, Blue.

Why walk him?

He can’t hit.

Except for his .326 average
he's hitting .33-what?

i think he can hit

i'd want Mags up there way more than Cabrera if a simple single is what I needed.

If I needed a homerun I wouldn’t have walked him

omg

umps are terrible

i hate faglio
oh man...

...creative…

come on....

this is insanity

WOW....

who is this ump?

Blue

you are one crazy dude with an even more crazy strike zone!

there's another strike
nice shields!

RALLY TIME

its where it crosses the plate not where its caught!

umpiring 101

Scot=Neat
great pitching with no help from the ump
Was there and ump...

I so despise complaining about umpiring, but this is “out of hand!”

This guy is terrible!

"an", not "and"
OMFG

Mike better * this ump out.

huzzah Kotchman!!

i love his defense!!
way to pitch shieldsy!

Hell Yeah!!!!

EAt a moth! Eat a moth! Eat a moth!

Where’s Hud-man when we need him? That mofo will eat bugs my the dozens to get a halo victory!

Not like the bugs we used to have back in the good old days of Downing, DeCinces, et al

Those were BIG bugs

vlads overdue

im ready

he hit 3 last week

and that makes him overdue?
if anyone’s overdue, it’s Napoli

I agree with the post above.... Shields > this piece of shit umpire!
Scot forced to throw like five extra pitches by Blindy McSightless behind the plate.
haha i like that name
PRICELESS

and if the shoe fits….holy shit!

we need some runnskies!!!!
If we win this ...

Dorothy gets …. you know what.

my leftover groupies?
should be interesting if frankie has to come in.........
OK, enough screwin' around Halos.

Let’s win this thing and go home.

damn that was some vintage shields pitching right there

wow. im amped.

That was some great Shields

superb

miner?!!?!

omg we need to win here

Welcome to the big leagues Zach Miner

Here we come.

Except for his other 79 games played
OK

What ever the fuck, stat freak.

using up those f-bombs
Hey, someone right-handed.

Crush the ball Halos.

iuhl34rp9 usbnifljbsdiFNsdojfnsdifj

jesus

Get him, Gary.
Can we hit it out of the infield?
Where was that pitch that bounced to HGH?

all the rest of those have been called strikes!

isnt that interference?
how about a fucking HIT
Great. GMJ possibly hurt.
actually, that is great
Rip one Vlad. I don't even care anymore.
Sweet

Nice legs Vlad

Vlad with a short double

Nice

Have you got a stat on how many short doubles Vlad has this year?

Or in his career?
Or are we just going to enjoy the game?

doink

and vlad manages to avoid runing into an out at second…haha awesome

grenade

pulled the pin just in time

way to beat it out, Vladdy!!
vlad and his wheels of glory
Vladdy accidentally goes to RF

need to see more of that! NIce hustle big guy!

Vladdy scares me the way he runs... looks like he's gonna fall over
i get scared every time he slides

i literally hold my breath

because his legs are different, it looks like he hobbles
Vlad with the HUSTLE!
Vladdy motoring!

Come on Torii!

alfredo looked resigned to vlads decision

hahaha

now that someone is on.......tora tora torrid will pop out im calling it
SOURDOUGH RALLY
my lady from SF is here watching with me

let’s go halos!

ahh makes sense now
C'mon Torii

just a damned single!

2nd multi base hit of the night

please hunter do what you are paid to do

Kotch had a 2B too.

honestly Guillen should have had the first one….and that was a mis-hit…grenade to RF

Not exactly tearing the cover off the ball! If it builds confidence…OK!

Come on, Torii, Rally monkey's best friend....
my man GA

let’s DO THIS

just wondering

Is a guy with an ERA over 6 really the guy the Tigers want to bring in to a scoreless game in the 8th? I mean is their bullpen really that bad???

They probably figure anyone can get the Angels out
ok...garret?

heres the thing…you need to hit the ball deep into the air. it can stay in the balpark but it needs to be DEEP

Unintentional intentional walk right there.
Miner... just setting up the double play...
thats one way 2

Earn your digits Torii.

Your turn GA

Garret- NOT A DP.
No being lazy this time Garret.
hmmm so torrid didnt even get a chance
you can do this GA
C'mon Cadillac!
no GA no!

watching where the catcher seyts up makes me nervous

GA...

come on….

pleeeeassseeee

K K K K K = GA

missed it by THAT much!

can we never lay off of that pitch??
breaking balls and garret anderson: like drinking and driving
why is naps batting ahead of kotchman?
because Scioscia made the lineup
so the lineup goes leftie rightie leftie
thats dumb

never sacrifice good lineups to maintain platoon splits

this is Sosh we're talking about... he LOVES platoons
Sosh is an idiot against lefties
Damn good change-up
SOURDOUGH RALLY
come on Naps!!

time for a homer!

c'mon Naps, hit it out!
there should be no suprises here.........naps will hit his 2 out sac fly
Crud. K, Time for a Power Nap.
Prove me wrong for not pinch running for you last inning Napoli you fat ass

come on Side Salad

If anyeone saw the Dodgers game today, this game is almost a repeat

The dodgers only scored on a bloop INFIELD hit

Huh?

Angels game on

yeah but they lost.........
all we effing need is a base hit

Kotch for the Salami?

dude, I don’t care if he walks, just get a run home damnit!

ok CK just lean into one!!!!
Kotch up with the bases juiced
Naps with a walk, and here's our best hitter!!!
CK and the Sunshine Band

how about at HIT!!!

kotchman: screw the home run

hit a god damn bloop single to right

BB, c'mong Kotch... bases loaded
Time for a Kotch-Rocket!!!
Oh man I can't watch.
Kotch- Single needed.
Kotch, time to be the hero.

Casey at the bat’s bout to have a different ending.

i love the optimism
well there is no one else i would rather have up right now then our best hitter statistically
walk HBB or wild pitch

i will take anyting

cmon wild pitch!

lol

dude this game is reminding me why i can't watch a soccer game
Nice stop by Pudge
how bout base hit?

baaahhhhhhhhhhh

No clutch tonight
anything that doesn't result in a 0
omggggggggggggggggggggggggggg

jnsdflknsdfklnsdflknsdfklnsdflknsdfklnqwe’[rjo8ioAE$THwjnsdm x

i put the Sourdough to bed
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

man that thing just hung up there!

crap shit and damn
i like that one

poetic

i want more shields out there

KRod always blows in non-save situations

Man, he hit that pretty well too.

Dangit.

hahaha you took my job
Kind of like Texas.

Only we haven’t lost yet.

s'alright...

...i mean… you guys know a thing or two about being swept in Tampa…

You guys still don't know much about being over .500 though.
bah...

...lot of baseball to be played sir…

and your line-up only gets… older?...

when was the last time you won the division
when was the last time you won a playoff series?...

...rest my case.

you can pull that all night if you'd like...

...at least we don’t mail it in in the playoffs…

that because you are never in the playoffs
At least we've gotten to the playoffs in the last decade.
more recent then you did
2005.

When was the last time you did?

'05.

When was the last time you won a playoff series? Oh right, NEVER.

seattle is just keeping last place warm for your sorry club with terrible pitching
Our lineup just needs to get healthy, thanks.

Two .300+ hitters on DL right now, two <.200 rookies in their spots. When that changes, our offense will pickup.

While you trade away every good pitcher you draft for hitting you shouldn't need

and junk like Adam Eaton.

that is Hatcher in a nutshell

Kotchman should be looking to drive one, how often does he drive one to the gap in LF center, I don’t think he’s ever hit a homerun to LF. You can hit to LF when you have 2 strikes and need to just make contact.

and this is why i hate hatcher

sometimes, it’s okay to preach power

Angels didnt need a homerun
yes but..... he just walked Naps....

why should Kotch help him out when he can always go to LF. Kotchman doesn’t strikeout hardly at all especially against a retread like Miner. Hitting to LF will always be there with 2 strikes. He should have zoned him for a better pitch.

who stopped the funk?

:-(

let's blame jack
Here's to a 20 inning game
no thanks. its almost midnight
are we the worst hitting team in the league yet
sure as hell feels like it. don't it?
i think Kansas City might have something to say about that...
nothing like starting a bottom of the ninth with b-wood and S-rod......w000
B-wood walkoff Ftw?!
gross...
i sure effing hope so

you can see it in his recent ABs… he’s right on the verge of breaking out

angels baseball?

Linedrive out for the 'I can't believe that didn't get down'.
ok let's hold this garbage
statistically the halos are like 3rd in hitting.............so weird
Crazy April and a sucky May
if we get through this inning

and brandon wood hits a walk off homer i will weep openly

I'd love to see an extremely long extra inning game

and then have the fireworks be canceled because it’d be too late at night

that would be hilarious

but would they actually cancel fireworks?

I imagine there has to be some sore of city code about time
there we go Shields
That was a beautiful pitch by Shields
leadoff man gone...........thats good
Finally called that the first time Scotty threw it.
umps rotate between innings?
nice little pitchers duel between fatolo and felix

and i think i can finally start rooting for the mariners again

turn in your Angels fan card then
um, anyone rooting for the sox to win needs to turn in their angels card
seconded

except I like Carl

thanks buddy

everyone wants to be loved…

lol

i like carl, too

but the sox are not in the AL West, and the Angels need to win the West

who did we lost to in the ds last year?

and who won the ws?

and who sucks this year?

omg

this umpire…

its never ever a good time to root for the mariners.
This umpire needs to be kicked in the groin
Do you have a stat for that?
id call nap out to the mound and tell him to not catch the next one and peg the ump in the dome
oh my, the 2 seamer is not in this umps repertoire~
Carlos Guillen struck out like 2 or 3 times
Is it 2

Or is it 3?

pitches 6 and 8 were both on the corner according to gameday
setting up the double play...
so he walks after 5 strikes
gamecast shows 2 strikes being called balls that ab
this ump is BAD!
this ump helped out Dorothy a time or two
Thanks for making this harder ump.
shields is gonna throw a two seamer at the guys nuts in a second
rofl theres the makeup call
no, he tagged him in the foot...Guillen was OUT!
i know...that was amazing

i was sure he was safe…

Guillen got a bad jump
Nice tag Boy King!
I think the 2B ump

should be behind homeplate

way to go NAPS!!!

and SHIELDS!!

oh wow

that was a good call…extremely lucky tag

OK LET'S GO ANGELS!
Way to go Shields

Even though the umpire wanted to see you fail

NICE tag, Izzy.
k time to put this baby to bed
walk off Woody

FTW!!

and yes, i know how that sounded

the bees have a chance

to show us what they got

let go, walk off in the 9th
oh i forgot........Salt Lake is batting for the halos in the ninth
I'll go for a Wood walkoff.
Who do we complain to about umpiring...this is horrible!

I cannot stand BAD umpiring!

Worse yet, I despise whining about it!

nobody

thats the problem with pro sports

Then don't whine about it

Accept the way the game is played and accept the results. Hopefully this results in an Angels win.

Im calling it

Angels going to win on a walk off error

by Guillen, perhaps?

quite a story.

It would be fitting
too bad it can't be Kenny's fault....I hate that guy
Did quentin fly out?
To Hunter

Wasn’t much of a play.

yes he did

nice!

lets keep the no extras streak alive
if we hit for wood or s-rod

do we have anyone to play their positions?

Ack.. I can hit as well as B. Wood.

we have yet to play an extra inning game all year

only team that hasn’t

redeem yourself, Balsa
Come On Dick Wood
Brandon "Ain't Got Enough" Wood

thats what she said

I was waiting for someone to hit on that

i know i know

i couldnt’ let that on go

He needs some Levitra
dang

juuuuuust missed it.

better than a K?

pinch hit, pinch hit!
Close enough to get my hopes up. >_<
1 for his last 25?

Dude does Soth know we can decline the DH and let the pitcher hit?

Makes you wish we still has Washburn, doesn't it?
did you see Santana in STL last year?

he has better rips than S-Rod right now

He's mastered hitting it to the outfield at least.
its getting closer... lol
Slow bat speed

If he’d have had a good rip on it, it was gone. He got his pitch.

He has to slow it down or it doesn't make contact.

He’s still finding the middle ground.

brandon wood has a serious bag...
OMG get Morales up here TOMORROW!
is Scoscia even alive anymore?
maybe he just doesnt care anymore...

who knows?

Yeah... that's right. He doesn't care.
sarcasm

take a breath

right back atcha
Maybe we all can pitch in for Sean's plane ticket to Salt Lake
at this point, i'll pay for it myself
Isn't it like $69 on south west ... one way.
Bullshit.

Why isn’t Figgins available? Go play Desmond.

when does Figgins come back?
when hes not hurt

which will be at the same time howie gets back….the all star break

sorry to hear that...

...the only two Angel players i like are Reg…and Figgy.

he might hit the DL again

he’s got tendonitis now too.

i can sympathize… but pop some motrin and quit moaning.

Ervin Santana to pinch hit!
He could be the Owings
Izturis needed some HGH or something
asghashdgasjdg
geez the Pharaoh made me lose my breath for a sec
If only that wall was as short as Izzy
The Marine Layer giveth, and the marine layer taketh away. >_<
frankie coming in perhaps?
Leave Scotty in, he's pretty fresh.
first extra of the year
first extra inning game all year
any idea who we're pitching?

hope it’s ‘dondo

Our first extra inning game of the year

Maybe Figgy has come off those acid tabs long enough to take a turn in the lineup. Desmond is on our active roster last time I checked.

He is hurt

He isnt playing

talking DL on the website

well...

hopefully vlad gets on base safely next inning so i at least get one point tonight

Maybe Shield one more?
Frankie. I can tell by the pitching motion.
We're about to lose

KRod cannot pitch in non-save situations

let's keep it up, fellas

sky isn’t falling yet

with the top of the line-up coming up...

...this move makes sense.

Oh god I don't like this at all.
well, here comes the loss

frankie’s not too good in this situation

You got this K-Rod.
i think srods definitely done after tonights disaster

we’re gonna see someone from AA, methinks

i thought that a week ago

still hasnt happened

and it begins...
cant Brown play 2b? not like hes any better with the bat
aach, shieldsy should have been left in
nevermind, he threw 28 pitches

CMON FRANKIE!

ump did not agree with him either!
Brown can play decent 2B
Come on, Franky, no sweat.

Get the DP.

we just lost this game fellas
Don't sugar coat it. How do you feel?
i feel like my world is spinning out of control and there is nothing i can do to stop it
You're blocking....
okay

i feel that they could win but they choose not to just to ruin my night and drive me crazy

Put Kendry at second
the bees should start him at 2nd

for a couple starts to see if he can handle it

Izzy to 2B, Wood to SS

and K-Mo to 3rd.

i think that would work out

does Leyland call for the bunt with Pudge?
Based on the play the other night in RF

Juice should be playing SS (he was a high-school SS) and screw the whole outfield rotation

krod in a nonsave.

i dont like this one bit, need arredondo

o

maybe ill take it back 95 mph heater, krod came out of a dalorian

Extra Innings

means there will be no save opportunity for K Rod. This is the right move to use ihim now

izzy can play second, wood can play ss, and kendry 3rd
And then you'll all complain about how much less range Kendry has at 3rd than Q
I've never seen kendry throw.. Don't know if he can play third.
he had a accurate arm when he played 1B
Uh Q's range is the area that he can fall down in
hahahaha

its sooooo true

But he tries

In a very loveable way to fall down properly.

who needs a bunt?
GG Wild Pitch.
with 2 strikes...
perfect, moved him to second and didnt even have to give up an out.......w000
Mike take your finger off of the self destruct button
He'd better strike everyone else out too

K-Rod. Totally over-rated.

LOL... that's pretty funny. He has how many blown saves?
League Saves leader. 1 blown in 22 chances.

Over-rated? I think not.

He bounced it in and the batter still swung.
why is frankie coming in on a non save situation on game 1 of a series

you save him for the later games in a save situation to make sure no batter can get a beat off him. the only way a closer should pitch in the first game of a 3+ game series is in a save sit

K#1.

2 more outs, Franky.

uh where was that pitch, 3 pitches ago
You know Franky.
at least we haven't lost a game in extras all year
1 more out Frank
Nice grab Vlad

Nice hose Vlad

Vlad's had some nice mobility in the OF lately.
Walk Polanco, pitch to Raburn
We're walking one of the Three Tenors
He wants to get to the soprano.
Frankie saved by Vlad...

that ball was hammered…

Nice job KRod of NOT backing up Wood at 3b! Asshole…too much ego for you to backup 3b?

Amen

Screw him and his 15 million. Arredondo can close.

or Myspace
Yeah, Because Escobar was good at closing.
Frankie's head is so far up his ass if will never come out

still up? I am impressed!

but he's so damn good at closing
If you walk this douche to get to Magglio...
i've been looking at it

and i honestly think Kendry is our only call-up option, unless Sandoval can play 2nd

its a lose lose

i dont think morales can field anything out of first and if we bring up another kid with our luck he will go 2 for 30 with 20 k’s

hopefully Howie comes back by the weekend
figgins update

May 26: Mike DiGiovanna, of The Los Angeles Times, reports Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim 3B Chone Figgins (leg) appears to be a few days away from returning to the lineup because of a sore leg. He was able to jog Sunday, May 25.

dont kill the messenger

thanks to K3yerout

We Heard

sorry, just got here and didnt see it
Nice pitch Frankie you wanker
take that frankie haters!
Struck him out!

Way to go Krod, now lets get you a win

its more of a love/hate with me and frankie.......he gets my BP too high
I just ran out of Valium yesterday as well

Not a good sign. Prescriptions there in the morning though.

Give me a break... He does it every time he goes out there... Learn to love the beast.
I am a Frankie hater

But those were two nice back-to-back pitches.

Light up the halo

uh…. wait…

K#2. Givin' the finger to the doubters.
You go Frankie...act like you've been there before!

Gave it the Save celebration when all you did was barely maintain a tie! NICE!

Need to layoff the haterade there, buddy.
That's right, hate on your own player.

You know what? Why even come here? Just GTFO.

God forbid he allow a baserunner
please score a run
