A knuckleballer strikes out a batter, but the loose ball allows the K-victim to reach first base. With two outs and the bases loaded, to swing a the very first pitch following that situation (which you did, yielding a routine fly-out), a batter would either be:
Since Gary Matthews Jr. has played in the big leagues for quite some time, we can assume that he had the intellect necessary to acquire an above average baseball aptitude and that, therefore, he is not stupid. And that leaves us with Matthews being selfish. And that conclusion would explain a lot about his inability to contribute to this team - he is swinging for the statistical fences without the requisite contributions to the team's offensive output.
Gary: Evidence of your selfish chumpage is becoming more apparent. Do something about it - involve yourself in the pitch-to-pitch needs of your team or waive your no-trade clause and go somewhere else where these occasional glory-seeking ways produce your desired results.

Zu Long - June 3, 2008
Q for MVP
Carl Johnson - June 3, 2008
Oh ffs honeybee wasn't first
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
Q starting to hit like pre 2007
when he was a .300 hitter
tanana40 - June 3, 2008
Q is 3-for-3
When was the last time THAT happened?
yeswecan - June 3, 2008
less than a week, i just heard
yeswecan - June 3, 2008
I posted the link to this thread
and Q gets another hit … miracles happening everywhere…
Rev Halofan - June 3, 2008
Thats because Q loves you rev......
norcaliangelsfan - June 3, 2008
He shook my hand once
when he was in AAA. Cool guy.
Rev Halofan - June 3, 2008
Soft hands, we hear...
Stirrups - June 3, 2008
Q erases himself
Carl Johnson - June 3, 2008
nd just as we sing his praises
we jinx him on the basepaths…
Goodbye, Robb…

Carl Johnson - June 3, 2008
in the midst of all the excitement
we missed a Mathis walk.
howiestheman - June 3, 2008
Mathis' OBP is rising as we speak
norcaliangelsfan - June 3, 2008
No balk call
and the widest ass strike zone of all time appears.
Rev Halofan - June 3, 2008
What's a balk?
I’m drunk.
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008

anaheim angels - June 3, 2008

howiestheman - June 3, 2008
Maybe rent it.
Too many good movies have come out/are coming out. Budget can’t afford a film like that.
This is the best movie year in a long time though.

Let's do this!
Ciggie break. Not staying up all night drunk for nothing.
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
Hell no. That would be a waste of drunk.
We want some poetry. Whatta ya got?
Stirrups - June 3, 2008
We could leave GMJ in Seattle, and trade for the Mariner's first round draft choice.
Strausburg?
44FAN - June 3, 2008
The sad thing is, Bavasi might go for that.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
a nice strikeout for Saunders
mjhsieh - June 3, 2008
Where are some of these pitches missing?
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
Well, that last one missed his head by about 7 inches.

I'm on MLB.tv

the "same indentical place"
way to be eloquent, Rex
howiestheman - June 3, 2008
That was a good pitch too.
Love the Reggie-cannon though.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
Figuring out Joe a little now
KendrickExperience - June 3, 2008
I don't think a double off a good pitch followed by an infield single qualifies as being figured out.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
b-churro only batting 285......kinda weak for him no?
norcaliangelsfan - June 3, 2008
Rev am I allowed to curse simply because I am drunk
am and admittedly so>?
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
If it rhymes, you can have mine for June.

Cuz that was a really shitty pitch
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008

howiestheman - June 3, 2008
howie is always had kinda shaky defense
UCIHalo - June 3, 2008
Unfortunately true.
Though he’s not horrible. He’s definitely not S-Rod though.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
in my frustration i can't form coherent sentences
UCIHalo - June 3, 2008
Seattle wearing off on us.
We need to hustle up this series and escape.
Stirrups - June 3, 2008
Pick the goddam bal up Howie
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
Nice job framing that one for blue, Mathis...
Stirrups - June 3, 2008
Hokie Joe! What happened???
howiestheman - June 3, 2008
Double
IF single
Error.
Single.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008

Seems practical.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
goddamnit
anaheim angels - June 3, 2008
THERE's the wide zone we saw last inning.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
Joe going from Sugar to Shit real fast
KendrickExperience - June 3, 2008
Uh
two unearned runs much?
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
Make it three.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
Exactly!
KendrickExperience - June 3, 2008
that bobble by howie looks like its gonna come back to haunt us

2 runs unearned. You owe us now, Howie.

SHITNUGGETS!

WHAT THE HELL

BigBangRobbDawgg - June 3, 2008
Bullshit!
Dammit we are going to start pitching and fielding and playing defence or I swear I will get drunk AGAIN.
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
ASTOUNDING
Were is the Quinlan love now????
Rev Halofan - June 3, 2008
Dude had no play
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
Had a play to 2nd, but Howie was late getting to the bag.
Stirrups - June 3, 2008
in my defense
i’v never had it.
just Quinlan tolerance
howiestheman - June 3, 2008
Where the hell was Kotch?
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
Making sure the ball didn't travel into RF.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
in Q's defense B-wood was averaging an Error about every other game while he was at 3rd also...
norcaliangelsfan - June 3, 2008
???
That doesn’t sound right.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
i dont think it is
howiestheman - June 3, 2008
and its not
in 08, he had 0 errors in 2 games at 3B
in 07, he had 16 errors in 74 games at 3B
howiestheman - June 3, 2008
and in the majors..
this year, he’s had 2 errors in 21 games
howiestheman - June 3, 2008
oh really.....i remember 2 games that Bwood had errors in a couple weeks ago
norcaliangelsfan - June 3, 2008
Well, you're correct that they had the same error rate.
Both now have 2 errors in 14 games started, 21 games played. The difference is really Wood’s .800 ZR vs. Q’s .700 ZR. Wood’s is terrific for a 3B. Q’s is middling to bad.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
Are you effing kidding me?
Carl Johnson - June 3, 2008
just need one more out Notso - Eco Joe
norcaliangelsfan - June 3, 2008
Q Error.
Jeez guys wake up.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
What the Funk?
c’mon guys!

you have got to be kidding me back to back errors
UCIHalo - June 3, 2008
just do it yourself colonel

Were you out drinking with Glasgow Huns tonight?

i think you were luckier for us back at the pub – if you move to vegas, what is left of your liver could work wonders for this franchise
Rev Halofan - June 3, 2008
Blah
Witty comment left at bottom of whateve glass I just emptied
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
thats how to do it oyurself
anaheim angels - June 3, 2008
Still got a lead
SoCalWine - June 3, 2008
im irritated
UCIHalo - June 3, 2008
Nice job Joe.
Need more runs Angels.
Howie, Q, I’m looking at you guys.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
now i know what its like to be a mariner fan
wings - June 3, 2008
lucky to have the lead
after that disastrous inning
tanana40 - June 3, 2008
Our sterling defense is now somewhat tarnished in that inning.
44FAN - June 3, 2008
How about some runs then you twats swinging the lumber?
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
Howie's probably gonna end up in LF soon, eh?
KendrickExperience - June 3, 2008
get those runs back halos
BigBangRobbDawgg - June 3, 2008
look it up......B-w00d has 2 errors, and a 946 fielding
norcaliangelsfan - June 3, 2008
in 21 games
thats not an error every other game, as you stated
howiestheman - June 3, 2008
that he was starting
atleast thats what i wanted to say lol…......either way that was Q’s second error of the year as well…...and with the way Q’s been hitting…....that gives him an advantage over wood right now….....even though i know B-wood is a better overall player and will be…...right now…..Q is doing his thing…...except for that one play
norcaliangelsfan - June 3, 2008
I would agree that the one error does not mitigate Q's impressive offensive performance thus far.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
and i'll of course argue that lack of playing time
will continue to eff with Wood’s progress
howiestheman - June 3, 2008
He's gotten the same amount of playing time as Q though.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
but Q has waaaaaay more big league experience
howiestheman - June 3, 2008
True.
But we’re trying to win. Wood’s getting his shots. I agree that it’d be preferable to have him down in AAA, but that hasn’t been possible with our injuries.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
i know that, but it
doesnt change my position.
given his obvious progress (as we’ve all argeed), he could be hitting pretty well right now, especially against these craphole pitchers
howiestheman - June 3, 2008
Q is the same now.
As I pointed out above. As I said, the difference is that Wood gets to 80% of the balls going through 3rd base, while Q gets 70% of them. And 10% is Gigantic.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
well....
woods lack of offense is troubling as well…......atleast quinlan is swinging the bat lately
norcaliangelsfan - June 3, 2008
see above
howiestheman - June 3, 2008
Yup. The difference in their BA is close to 18% (absolute)
and that’s even more important considering that 1% in BA is bigger than 1% in ZR.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
beltre says: look how to throw to first
Carl Johnson - June 3, 2008
why to f'n go howie
screw up in the field and make up for by getting an out on the first pitch
UCIHalo - June 3, 2008
Cy Dick
edhoo - June 3, 2008
joe : thanx for the rest guys....
BigBangRobbDawgg - June 3, 2008
No shyte. After being to chuck about 40 pitches due to their bonehead errors,
the reward their stud with just enough time to get his windbreaker on.
Stirrups - June 3, 2008
"being forced to chuck"
Stirrups - June 3, 2008
nice, two pitches two outs
Carl Johnson - June 3, 2008
123 inning, damn you hk.
mjhsieh - June 3, 2008
yikes, how many pitches was that?
KendrickExperience - June 3, 2008
6. 4 to Izzy, 1 to HK, 1 to Hunter. Took about 3 minutes.
Stirrups - June 3, 2008
It was so quick, i couldn't even get my drunken ass off the chair in time
to go outside for a cigarette. We suck with the lumber
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
How about hitting the damn ball?
Huh???
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
cant. they got 5 runs
time to sleep.
Cy Dickey has arrived
howiestheman - June 3, 2008
that was a bunch of BS
we are letting them back in this game with pure stupidity
UCIHalo - June 3, 2008
6 freaking pitches
why to help oyt your pitcher guys
UCIHalo - June 3, 2008
No shit not much of a breather
hauldog - June 3, 2008
"LOOK AT THAT"...
Rex…
ha…
fitting that Sexon is up to bat.
Red - June 3, 2008
Methinks Arredondo will have a big role in this gake
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
mmmm cake
Carl Johnson - June 3, 2008
so I run off for an inning to go make dinner for the kids...
WTF is this? Everything went to hell and back!
K3YEROUT - June 3, 2008
poor defense, 2 errors and first pitch outs for the angels
UCIHalo - June 3, 2008
ay carumba....
BS factor is high here….guess I shoulda gone to this game too….
K3YEROUT - June 3, 2008
The 2006 efense
showed up for a surprise appearance
Rev Halofan - June 3, 2008
(no D)
Rev Halofan - June 3, 2008
pretty clever, mister e.e. cummings
yeswecan - June 3, 2008
Exactly!
KendrickExperience - June 3, 2008
its your fault!
norcaliangelsfan - June 3, 2008
I hate it when that happens! :(
K3YEROUT - June 3, 2008
Nice pitch Hokie Joe
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
ALL three of those runs were unearned......yikess
norcaliangelsfan - June 3, 2008
blame Q and HK
UCIHalo - June 3, 2008
HK could ahve got us out of that inning with no runs scored
UCIHalo - June 3, 2008
and Q could've limited the already done damage
howiestheman - June 3, 2008
Yup.
Time to stop dwelling on it though. It sucked, it happened, but we’re still in the lead, and we still have a game to win.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
agreed
howiestheman - June 3, 2008
ill forget it unless we lose
in that case im gonna let it fester until it ruins my night
UCIHalo - June 3, 2008
Sounds like a plan.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
2 out base hits will kill you
Carl Johnson - June 3, 2008
we’ve made a living on 2 out hits tonight too~
K3YEROUT - June 3, 2008
hard we you have to get 5 outs
UCIHalo - June 3, 2008
Who?
Not me. Liquor will kill me. I’m pissed as a fart.
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
No deja vu that time
H’Owie made the play!
K3YEROUT - June 3, 2008
Nice play Howie
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
joes probably done....6 Inn 100 pitches
norcaliangelsfan - June 3, 2008
a chill just went down my spine
speier warming up in the bull pen
wings - June 3, 2008
ohhh noooooooooooooo!
at some point the boy has to make a positive contribution…no time like the present! M’s announcers were saying how the M’s bullpen is so superior to ours before the game….whateverrrrrr
K3YEROUT - June 3, 2008
better hope we score some runs here
speier this season seems to be good for at least one run
UCIHalo - June 3, 2008
lets hope we will have a better inning then that last one
UCIHalo - June 3, 2008
3-3 det and oak in the 6th
norcaliangelsfan - June 3, 2008
Rattle the damn bats!
NOW I’m going for a ciggie and when I come back I want 4 more runs for us on the scoreboard. Word.
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
is there any reason why we cant hit soft-tossing pitchers?
howiestheman - June 3, 2008
Physioc caled Matthews "GMJ"
Rev Halofan - June 3, 2008
i think he was going
Carl Johnson - June 3, 2008
to say GA but then realized who it actually was
Carl Johnson - June 3, 2008
ahhh got it
howiestheman - June 3, 2008
so whats the problem?
howiestheman - June 3, 2008
Nice try GA.
Tried to shoot the hole, but didn’t get enough of the ball.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
Doesn't RA Dick-Head usually give us trouble?
KendrickExperience - June 3, 2008
hehe...
you said ‘usually’
Red - June 3, 2008
tex won their game
JHam 1-4 with a 2 run home run…....17th
norcaliangelsfan - June 3, 2008
matthews almost had his routine
ground out to 2nd.
howiestheman - June 3, 2008
lol
the guy can do no right
SCHalo - June 3, 2008
probably not
howiestheman - June 3, 2008
Juice succeeds where Garret failed.
Huh. Good job Juice.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
Cut…. GA grounds out to 2b …...paste…
K3YEROUT - June 3, 2008
Juice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
norcaliangelsfan - June 3, 2008
is gary in some sort of a rush
UCIHalo - June 3, 2008
gary's new nickname has to have something to do with his need to always swing at the first pitch
UCIHalo - June 3, 2008
swing matthews jr...
K3YEROUT - June 3, 2008
good but its still missing that rush hurry factor
UCIHalo - June 3, 2008
ya know, OC made a pretty good career year last year out of batting in front of Vlad
so you may be on to something there…HGH just sucks too badly to do anything with those good pitches he is seeing!
K3YEROUT - June 3, 2008
ummm, good pitches?
just a guess
SCHalo - June 3, 2008
no balls?
ZiK - June 3, 2008
that would fit vlad more than gary
come on people think i know its out there we just have to grab it
UCIHalo - June 3, 2008
OK…how bout Gary “swing” Matthews Jr…
K3YEROUT - June 3, 2008
better, it think we are almost there
UCIHalo - June 3, 2008
Robb Ruth
yeswecan - June 3, 2008

Kotch is sloooooooow.
Juice is pretty fast though.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
C'mon Q'Bert
Red - June 3, 2008
Q gets robbed by Ichibutt!
K3YEROUT - June 3, 2008
damn ichiro
Carl Johnson - June 3, 2008
white boys cant run
norcaliangelsfan - June 3, 2008
Need you to make up for the error Q.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
DAMN Itchy-ho
Red - June 3, 2008
Dammit.
He tried.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
i love how Dickey has a career ERA of 5.60
and we make him look like the greatest relief pitcher ever
howiestheman - June 3, 2008
he only has to throw 4 pitches and he gets 8 outs with us
UCIHalo - June 3, 2008
oh and to whoever was asking earlier...
RA stand for Robert Allen
howiestheman - June 3, 2008
thanks...
that was me…
surely he’s not the sun god.
Red - June 3, 2008
beetch-ero
norcaliangelsfan - June 3, 2008
Ichiro is God
I would love him on our team
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
That was a classic Krotch v. Dickey matchup however
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
haha
Carl Johnson - June 3, 2008
joe back in
BigBangRobbDawgg - June 3, 2008
Woody in for Q
not surprised there
howiestheman - June 3, 2008
oh so saunders gets to stay in now but not for a CG?
um…ok
Carl Johnson - June 3, 2008
Wow
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
Defesive replacement of Wood for Q.
Probably a good move.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
not for offense
Carl Johnson - June 3, 2008
Granted.
But the way we’re going, we won’t get back around to Q’s spot anyway.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
and Johnny RIvers can hit for him if he does come up lol
norcaliangelsfan - June 3, 2008
could wood be an offense replacement for anybody
UCIHalo - June 3, 2008
edgardo alfonzo
Carl Johnson - June 3, 2008
That.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
haha too true
UCIHalo - June 3, 2008
carol channing
or ray charles.
teehee… im kidding. i love the kid.
howiestheman - June 3, 2008
good bye to the best offensive player in the lineup.......
norcaliangelsfan - June 3, 2008
???
Pretty sure Kotch is still better. Q’s hot, but he’s not the best we have.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
today he is and thats all that matters
norcaliangelsfan - June 3, 2008
But he also just came up, and given how unlikely it is that we back around to him
We need the D.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
i guess pitch counts dont matter much anymore
norcaliangelsfan - June 3, 2008
Dick Wood probably best at SS
but hey neither me or the other drunk Ozzie Guillen are managing the Halos
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
nice play Mathis
Funke5ive - June 3, 2008
nice play wood
Funke5ive - June 3, 2008
how good was it
would q have done it. if not than mike made the right call.
UCIHalo - June 3, 2008
Probably not.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
By which I mean
Sosh made the right call.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
nice Wood!!!
SCHalo - June 3, 2008
Nice play by Wood!
case closed…love the 2 hopper!
K3YEROUT - June 3, 2008
kotchman is the only reason we dont have 9 errors today
Carl Johnson - June 3, 2008
nice play kotch
Funke5ive - June 3, 2008
nice play at both ends
wings - June 3, 2008
Q doesnt make that play, Nice play Dick!
SoCalWine - June 3, 2008
you cant say that......you dont know
norcaliangelsfan - June 3, 2008
then good job scioscia
UCIHalo - June 3, 2008
ha!
no effing way Q makes that play
howiestheman - June 3, 2008
but does Q make a better throw? i think so
norcaliangelsfan - June 3, 2008
bu Q doesnt get the out
as we’ve already seen
howiestheman - June 3, 2008
wood and Q = same number of errors, and same number of games at 3b....done and done
norcaliangelsfan - June 3, 2008
this could go on forever
howiestheman - June 3, 2008
lol, no......
i like em both…...and whoever is in is who i want to succeed…...but people bash Q and hes been a pretty consistant member of the team for 5 years now…...he isnt all hyped up like wood is…....he just does his job…......but i want B-wood to be successful too
norcaliangelsfan - June 3, 2008
You really shouldn't bait him like that though.
Is it really necessary to put down Q just because Wood made a good play?
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
nice pick Krotch!
Red - June 3, 2008
sweet
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
good job joe!
Funke5ive - June 3, 2008
soth, you are a genius
great decision. and that is why you dont take kotch out of the lineup
anaheim angels - June 3, 2008
hokie joe!!!
SCHalo - June 3, 2008
Sosh is a genius
melvintoast - June 3, 2008
sometimes
most of the time
howiestheman - June 3, 2008
hokie joe!!
1-2-3 … reward him halos
BigBangRobbDawgg - June 3, 2008
Mathis and Wood
Avenge the DEE
Rev Halofan - June 3, 2008
Rev, they found your (D)
K3YEROUT - June 3, 2008
that was half Kotch though
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
Kotch is probably 60% of the reason our error rate has been as low as it is.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
Kotch is God with the glove
He can pick em with the best
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
that wasn’t much of a play for Kotch! The throw was a 2 hopper to first
K3YEROUT - June 3, 2008
109 pitches for Colonel
nice job tonight Hokie Joe! Outstanding! Damn, if he isn’t careful he may start the all star game!
K3YEROUT - June 3, 2008
Don't get ahead of yourself K3
It has to be a Yankee or a Red Sock
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
that’s why I said if he “isn’t careful”... :)
K3YEROUT - June 3, 2008
what, he gets traded?

High fly ball to Torii

Ahem
“Retard” is so un-PC. But I’m drunk so I don’t give a fuck
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008

SCHalo - June 3, 2008
reggie is blowing a prime opportunity to take playing time away from gary
UCIHalo - June 3, 2008
boy, im sure glad this journeyman knuckleballer
who has been terrible his entire career is making us look like a bunch of blind little leaguers.
howiestheman - June 3, 2008
We need a Knuckleballer coming out of the pen!
KendrickExperience - June 3, 2008
so we can wild pitch our way to a 4K inning?
Carl Johnson - June 3, 2008
this is ridiculous
Carl Johnson - June 3, 2008
no, this is beyond pathetic
howiestheman - June 3, 2008
2nd K that goes to first on the night.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
yeah Gary.........2hits..reggie.......2ks
norcaliangelsfan - June 3, 2008
Gazoo = K3yerout to 1st on WP
cuz you know you missed it!
K3YEROUT - June 3, 2008
Run Boy King ... Run!!!!
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
BTW- it's probably the change in velocity.
Bedard was throwing 93-94.
Dickey throwing in the 70’s. That’s a big adjustment.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
Dickey’s ball is floating all over the place…he has a nasty one tonight….
K3YEROUT - June 3, 2008
howie has the gary disease
UCIHalo - June 3, 2008
its all about the secondary lead with a knuckleballer
Carl Johnson - June 3, 2008
Gazoo looking to steal 2b ....runnnnn
K3YEROUT - June 3, 2008
can’t steal on a knuckleballer….f’ugly! You are sooo out! Gazoo!
K3YEROUT - June 3, 2008
if it's high
LET IT FLY
KendrickExperience - June 3, 2008
goddamnit
anaheim angels - June 3, 2008
How do you get thrown out on a 72 mph pitch?
Chone's Chonies - June 3, 2008
Bad jump.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
Also, great catch and throw.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
he was out by a mile, too
Chone's Chonies - June 3, 2008
Yeah, it was mostly the jump.
Dickey isn’t getting called for his Balks though, so it makes it tough to get a good lead.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
momentum is shifting
time for a 1-2-3 inning
yeswecan - June 3, 2008
runs into an out...nice
he was just gonna WP him over anyway. i worry about the way we think sometimes.
Carl Johnson - June 3, 2008
YOU CANT STEAL ON A KNUCKLEBALL????
come on…..are you kidding me?!
howiestheman - June 3, 2008
Why has the Boy King not run yet?
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
Reply to self:
Oh shit, that’s why.
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
hahaha
Carl Johnson - June 3, 2008
this would be a really painful game to lose
UCIHalo - June 3, 2008
no kidding
howiestheman - June 3, 2008
What part of "lose" is in Mike Scioscia's vocabulary?
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
what ever happened to shields
UCIHalo - June 3, 2008
oblique is giving him trouble
melvintoast - June 3, 2008
he hasn't done anything
maybe thats the problem
UCIHalo - June 3, 2008
he tweaked something in his ribcage
so they’re sitting him for a few
howiestheman - June 3, 2008
ANGELS BASEBALL.........its FAN........tastic
and heart burn inducing….lol
norcaliangelsfan - June 3, 2008
wow.
just got out of class. looks like we’re playing pretty dirty tonight. but still winning.
b0rd3rline - June 3, 2008
lets go arredondo
Carl Johnson - June 3, 2008
Oyyyyyy
they just flashed Weaver’s era on the screen….4.64 or some garbage! NOT nice! :( sounds like WTE territory!
K3YEROUT - June 3, 2008
No.
WTE territory is a full run or two HIGHER than that.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
Ninja in.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
I love this guy
Despite our disputes about Frankie …
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
I've never had a problem with him.
He’s a great prospect and he has guts. I’d just rather have both and therefore a great pen next year.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
Reagins?
did ‘Dondo take over that nickname?
SCHalo - June 3, 2008
Yeah. Started somewhere, and I liked it.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008

SCHalo - June 3, 2008
shields hurt?
angelsown3417 - June 3, 2008

apparently not a big deal
Carl Johnson - June 3, 2008
so that means 4 weeks?
Funke5ive - June 3, 2008
whatever arredondo is good

That's not fair.
Sexson is 6’8 and that’s at his shins.
Funny as hell though.

Zu Long - June 3, 2008
He's bad ass
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
kid is doing amazing
nice to know we have a good up and coming reliever. it will make the frankie departure less painful
UCIHalo - June 3, 2008
Hmmmm. not saying anything
in case it offends sensitive ears
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
Really
Are we really going to let Frankie go? He has been great, and I would hate to have to play against him. Plus, he is only like 26.
matthiasstephan - June 3, 2008
We can hope not.
Some choose not to, for reasons that mystify me.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
Nice inning
Set em up, and knock em dondo!!!
matthiasstephan - June 3, 2008
OK this is where zu and I disagree
I say we need an insurance run or two
Zu says shut up and take your valium highland
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
I LIKE insurance runs.
I just have confidence in K-Rod either way.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
;-P
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
May we live in peace as long as the halo shines
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
I WANT AN INSURANCE RUN!
It’s clause 2A of the Francisco Rodriguez Closer policy®.
cardinalwraith - June 3, 2008
Boink
Why can’t we hit a junker knuckleballer?
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
torii torii torii
Carl Johnson - June 3, 2008
insurance is nice...
ESP at the blackjack tables
BigBangRobbDawgg - June 3, 2008
There we go.
Nice job Torii.

why are we still trying to steal... its just not going to happen tonight
BigBangRobbDawgg - June 3, 2008
its like we dont get it:

Carl Johnson - June 3, 2008
Balk
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
umm no
edhoo - June 3, 2008
I know it wasn't even close to being a balk
Just being a fan, edhoo. Just a fan.
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
Get your stomach medications ready, people.
cardinalwraith - June 3, 2008
K-Rod incomming.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
Cooler covered for Torii. Woulda been a double play
melvintoast - June 3, 2008
haha
Carl Johnson - June 3, 2008
can't we leave Dondo in?
Frankie Goes to Seattle is going to give us a heart attack

anaheim angels - June 3, 2008
hopefully frank goes 1-2-3........cuz Ichiro is hitting cleanup this inning......and i wouldnt want him hitting in a one run game
norcaliangelsfan - June 3, 2008
something about
“remember they have miguel cairo on the bench” doesnt scare me…
Carl Johnson - June 3, 2008
Who?
matthiasstephan - June 3, 2008
Don't worry.
Frankie says relax
melvintoast - June 3, 2008

haha he looks like he is on gamecast lol
norcaliangelsfan - June 3, 2008
Cuter than this guy

orange soda. haha
anaheim angels - June 3, 2008
holy crap!
That was the most racist thing I have ever heard. WOW. I can’t believe that was just said on television. Did I hear that correctly?
Phys: Back in the day we called that “orange soda.”
Hud: Because it was Nehi and on the black.
Am I not interpreting this correctly?
RubixsQube - June 3, 2008
yeesh
nice pitch again
Carl Johnson - June 3, 2008
frankie says relax
UCIHalo - June 3, 2008
SIT DOWN.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
now stand up
for the last pitch
anaheim angels - June 3, 2008
and sit down again
PANTHER!
anaheim angels - June 3, 2008
1 run game?
Check.
No other standouts?
Q and Mouse were good but Q had the error. Joe was good and the errors weren’t his fault, but I say Check.
1-2-3 inning?
Check.
Struck out the side in dominant fashion?
Big ol’ freaking CHECK.
I’d say that’s affirmative. K-Rod for Panther.
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
i dont sound so stupid now suggesting krod for panther
do i?
anaheim angels - June 3, 2008
It's one inning, dude
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
i know, but when i suggested krod get some consideration for panthers
yesterday, pretty much everyone was dismissing the issue
anaheim angels - June 3, 2008
I suggested this last year ...
and it all fell on deaf ears. I suggested that the closer should get a half a panther for every “real” save, ie, a proper tight game, so that the closer should get the panthers he deserved. Nobody listened to me so f-- that theory.
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
K Rod
Sexson, Cairo, Betancourt? You must be joking.
Maicer 2 2 out RBI’s
hauldog - June 3, 2008
That's one for you zu
My theory is they are grooming Arredondo to be the closer for the future, they will pay K-Rod what he wants, and they will ship Shields off and his $5 mill to be the lynchpin to be a closer somewhere else.
But what do I know. I am drunk, and have already admitted to being so.
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
okay i was on the fence before......but i now i say
PAY THE MAN
norcaliangelsfan - June 3, 2008
I'm starting to agree that we should resign Frankie
Los Angeles de Anaheim - June 3, 2008
lets do it
but wait until be blows a couple of saves(which he may never do) so we can get a discount
UCIHalo - June 3, 2008
fossum is a reliever for the tigers now?
what the hell?
Carl Johnson - June 3, 2008
stay with that pitch
wings - June 3, 2008
1-2-3 light her up!
i’m liking the make up of the back end.

UCIHalo - June 3, 2008
Krod
Living up to the name.
matthiasstephan - June 3, 2008
way to go Angels
Frankie is getting his groove back (with 22 saves).
Let’s get Figgy back and this team is a 100 win team.
tanana40 - June 3, 2008
23 saves (correction)
tanana40 - June 3, 2008
which is 2 more wins than the M's have
how awesome is that
MH252525 - June 3, 2008
It is awesome
But half of those saves are of the “cheap save” variety.
K-rod still keeps me on valium. Having said that, he is pitching some mighty tidy final innings lately.
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
Amen to that
Figgy back soon I hear. That makes us a complete team.
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
SIT THE HELL DOWN!!
K-ROD IS BACK BABY!!
Zu Long - June 3, 2008
Just another halo victory
melvintoast - June 3, 2008
Panther=Mighty Mouse
2 hits, 3 RBI’s
Los Angeles de Anaheim - June 3, 2008
light that M-Fer up!!!!!!!!!!!
norcaliangelsfan - June 3, 2008
this would be a good night to give frankie the panther
UCIHalo - June 3, 2008
Yeah
His best performance in a while
Maybe the kid’s filthyness woke his stuff up!
KendrickExperience - June 3, 2008
True... They got competition back there.
melvintoast - June 3, 2008
Hokie Joe=Panther
even when his d wanted to give it up. first 9 game winner too. Frankie close 2nd.
SCHalo - June 3, 2008
Friggin AWESOME! The colonel lead the AL in wins!
Drumsticks are on the house!
melvintoast - June 3, 2008
good promotion at angel stadium
when ever joe pitches 8 innings or more everyone gets a free bucket of chicken
UCIHalo - June 3, 2008
KFC locations in the OC would go out of business
SCHalo - June 3, 2008
Light it on up
I love winning
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
Saunders first to get nine games in the american league.
44FAN - June 3, 2008
i'm going with
KRod for panther tonight. That was filthy, K’ing the side!!!
b0rd3rline - June 3, 2008
Striking out the side is beyond the call....
melvintoast - June 3, 2008
What job do you have that allows you to be pished at 5am on a Weds?
I want to know so I can get one

highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
ok, i like KRod as panther
that was some nasty filth thrown in the 9th.
SCHalo - June 3, 2008
Tough to go against Hokie Joe
first AL starter with 9 wins … (and no, zu, this is not anti-Frankie stuff here)
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
although ive been pushing frankie, panther has to go to the colonel
one dominant inning < 7 almost shutout innings
anaheim angels - June 3, 2008
If it's not Hokie Joe ...
then Q Ball. Raises his average to an even .300.
Q Ball most under-rated Angel since Juan Beniquez.
highlandhalo - June 3, 2008
um wow on Quinlan
hauldog - June 3, 2008
McLaren
Looks like he is going to cry in the post game reactions.

the overflow thread has more posts than the original thread
anaheim angels - June 3, 2008
