Guy’s so money against the A’s that it’s almost unfair. Mice Tits is on fiyah, bat and glove. Took him a little while to get going but he looks like our little Mighty Mouse again. Remember that GS he smashed at the Big A last season? Came out of nowhere, just like the leadoff shot tonight.
the angels fan that we sat with in right field bleachers tonight. he was the shit! in between each inning, he would stand up and just turn around. A’s fans would yell shit at him, but he just kept standing and smiling. going into the bottom of the ninth, he started walking up the stairs, and gave a few of us fellow angels fans pounds, then kept going up. a bunch of rowdy a’s fans started yelling at him, saying “thats right, get the eff out of here!” so the guy stops, turns around, and watches krod get the save, right underneath the a’s fans that were yelling at him. needless to say, he was my freakin’ hero for the night, and i almost wish he is a poster here, so that i can say thank you for being so freakin’ awesome.
lol. anyway, i’d give panther to Thunder Mountain for sure. nobody could touch him tonight, with the exception of mr. “either a homer, walk, or K” cust.
reading the posts from their second thread much respect/fear for lackey arrendondo(sp?) not known only comment was “they’re bringing in a guy with a lower ERA (than lackey)” much hate/fear for frankie they seem to dislike his heavenward pointing after a save in my mind, that’s his way of giving God the glory for the feat how can that be deemed egotistical? damned pagans at least they posted enough to need a second thread unlike detroit the funniest thing i read there was that they thought that their hitters should swing at more FIRST pitches instead of waiting for a walk the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence

That's one reason why Lackey is so tits against Oakland
He knows they’re taking strike one, so he throws it. Genius!
It also shows why extremism in the cause of game strategy is no virtue. When the opposition flat-out knows what yr gonna do in a given situation, you have just given them the sword. One of many good things about Scioscia is that the only for-sure game strategy he’ll employ is the contact play, which is something the pitcher can’t really do anything about (and which forces the other side to execute).
if you look at the replay of mice-tits lead off homer, you can see some people in red (and one in a home jersey) about 6 or 7 rows back, stand up to cheer. That would be, from left to right, angels4adam, myself, and halosFORlife.
Izzy had a great game too

LACKEY
Izzy honorable mention…. great start to the same and INCREDIBLE glove work tonight
BigBangRobbDawgg - June 6, 2008
Has to be Big John.
Important first game against the division rival nipping out our heels, and he flat out performs.
cardinalwraith - June 6, 2008
Lackey For Sure
Andyman - June 6, 2008
Lackey
pitched a great game.
...Props to Izzy, too! For his lead-off HR and awesome D.
HawaiiHaloFan35 - June 6, 2008
Nothing says we hate Oakland with pride like a Lackey, Arredodndo, K-Rod win!
44FAN - June 6, 2008
Lackey

Great win. Let’s go for some more broomage.
highlandhalo - June 6, 2008
Lackey easy
Izzy second…..great defensively all game…....and started off the game right with the big fly….set the tone…...
norcaliangelsfan - June 6, 2008
gotta go with lackey
he was dominating
hittheg - June 6, 2008
Lackey dominates. Again.
Guy’s so money against the A’s that it’s almost unfair. Mice Tits is on fiyah, bat and glove. Took him a little while to get going but he looks like our little Mighty Mouse again. Remember that GS he smashed at the Big A last season? Came out of nowhere, just like the leadoff shot tonight.
Look at AN trying to copy your schtick Rev. Posers.
ReggieBullits - June 6, 2008
haha at the Gibson pic though....thats a tough one to swallow....
norcaliangelsfan - June 6, 2008
Probably a bit like a knife to the eye
Poor little A’s fans.
ReggieBullits - June 6, 2008
Who cares what they want to do on AN
A’s fans.

Toss up
Can’t lose with either Lackey or Izzy. Lackey was lights out and pitched a gem, but big props to Izzy for both glove and bat.
halofolife - June 6, 2008
Lackey
He pitched a hell of a game.
docescobar07 - June 6, 2008
Lackey
sure
mjhsieh - June 6, 2008

happy bday rally monkey !! lil guy turns 8 today :oD
BigBangRobbDawgg - June 6, 2008
Who should I believe?
Gubbie says there is more to come in the West vs. the A’ss, and JohnKr* said during the ninth tonight that it is done in the West.
Pyzdiot to break the tie?
eyespy - June 6, 2008
scottnak - June 6, 2008
scottnak, you are the man
im diggin the new graphic.
you win
howiestheman - June 6, 2008
Thanks!
Now having nothing to do while watching the game, I can do random stuff like this. haha.
scottnak - June 7, 2008
thunder mountain
ihearhowie2.0 - June 6, 2008
Frankie
Did I hear correctly that he just tied his own franchise record for consecutive saves? If not, then maybe Thunder Mountain.
yeswecan - June 6, 2008
Yup
22 consecutive converted save opportunities. The loss he took on 5/15 vs. CWS was not a save opp because he entered the game in a 3-3 tie.
Frankie sucks. Let’s dump him.
ReggieBullits - June 6, 2008
It's Big John. By a Texas mile.
Even the Assfans on AN are Thunder-struck.
Stirrups - June 6, 2008
Lacky by a long shot
Angels22 - June 6, 2008
.
BIG JOHN!!!!!
miantifaz - June 6, 2008
Big Thunder
7 strong giving up just a solo shot against a - formerly - hot hitting A’s team.

I’ll dissent and pick the less obvious choice for Panther.
BBFan1 - June 6, 2008
i say panther is
the angels fan that we sat with in right field bleachers tonight. he was the shit! in between each inning, he would stand up and just turn around. A’s fans would yell shit at him, but he just kept standing and smiling. going into the bottom of the ninth, he started walking up the stairs, and gave a few of us fellow angels fans pounds, then kept going up. a bunch of rowdy a’s fans started yelling at him, saying “thats right, get the eff out of here!” so the guy stops, turns around, and watches krod get the save, right underneath the a’s fans that were yelling at him. needless to say, he was my freakin’ hero for the night, and i almost wish he is a poster here, so that i can say thank you for being so freakin’ awesome.
lol. anyway, i’d give panther to Thunder Mountain for sure. nobody could touch him tonight, with the exception of mr. “either a homer, walk, or K” cust.
b0rd3rline - June 7, 2008
i hope you had his back in the parking lot
cheers from the safety of socal to you
brave crimson warrior of righteousness
for we know the only true A in the west
has a halo around it
hittheg - June 7, 2008
i was just trolling at AN
reading the posts from their second thread
much respect/fear for lackey
arrendondo(sp?) not known
only comment was “they’re bringing in a guy with a lower ERA (than lackey)”
much hate/fear for frankie
they seem to dislike his heavenward pointing after a save
in my mind, that’s his way of giving God the glory for the feat
how can that be deemed egotistical?
damned pagans
at least they posted enough to need a second thread unlike detroit
the funniest thing i read there was that they thought that their hitters
should swing at more FIRST pitches
instead of waiting for a walk
the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence
hittheg - June 7, 2008
