That is priceless! Thanks!

I’ll have to pull it out for daygames!

u shouldn't have gone then :)
A's broadcast...every commercial break pumps the volume up to double...

must be cuz people fall asleep with all the pitches the A’s take waiting to walk…they have to wake up their fans between innings! Good grief!

these guys aren't eating their wheaties :(
IN spring Trainingi was at the game where valddy hit a grand Slam off of Foulke
OK Kotch, be the hero...

Performance enhancing substances are NOT godo man!

heh.

I just keeeeding!

What is a "Godo Man?"
godo --> good

typo :o

You and Troy Glaus

Alike

come on nappy!
put a dagger in the heart of A's nation
Napster, need a double to the gap...
he just needs to get it over the wall
Wow

crazy play

oh man!

he almost scored on a SB! hahah

HGH = SB + E2 = HGH 2 3b
oh my god....my heart is racing!
ohhhh so close.

good running and heads up GMJ

gmj making it happen
good job HGH! :D
Can't blame Gary for holding up there...
SB + error puts him on third.

Get him home Naps.

reggie, reggie, reggie
so who hits for Wood?
reggie! reggie! reggie!
Reggie

coming up to bat

OH NO!....wet newspaper bat willits ...not good! :(
PH for Wood again...

bummer.
but here comes Reggie!

shoulda brought in Q......but im sorta okay with reggie

not suprised that wood isnt batting though

wood has been pulled in some many clutch spots
Awww yeah.

A reggie chant even in the Coliseum. Me likey

Me to i think we got some hh's there
i was just going to mention that.

it’s awesome

Reggie, Reggie, Reggie!
Reggie! Reggie! Reggie!
big opportunity for reggie
DFA reggie and his rolled up wet newspaper bat! BOOOO!!!
Rule 3 bro.
Godo Man

on third, knock him in reggie

REGGIE!

Ready the Confetti

ok

hold the confetti

how well was that thought out?

now Q is at third, and we need to protect a lead/tie.
thats horrible for the D

Need the lead first
now we have Q and third and no lead

thats REALLY bad

oh jesus.........Q = not a horrible defender....it'll be okay
SRod can play SS

and Gazoo can play 3b is another option

Reggie Reggie Reggie
if he doesn't work a walk he's gonna pop out or roll it weakly to an infielder
RULE THREE.
what's rule three?
Basically, complain once

then shut up, or be funny.

something to do with bitch once…then STFU

*thumbs up*

I like the way that sounds

ditto

the official B1STFU rule

It's right here on the site though.

Right side, bottom of the main page are the HH rules.

oh yeah *smacks head*

THOSE numbered rules :)

I’ve been trying to get the Rev to put the rules so they show on the gamethreads over on the right too…easier reference! No luck thus far!

reggie

you fail

i like reggie but why?
Ahh reggie :(
P2 = :((
shoulda let Q hit.......
geez...who would've thought? reggie popping it out ??
Why do you do this??

NO buddy enjoys it

you must be a treat to sit by at games
poop

i dont disagree with PH for wood, but why deviate from the Wood-to-Rivera formula that works so well!?

God, I hate Willits
You hate everyone.
willits should not have been up there

and i don’t hate him

reggie is a good option to pinch hit

when we need a PH to lead off an inning. not when the winning run is on 3rd base in the 8th inning.

I'd have preferred to go with the hot hand in Q.

but that’s a whole different thing.

Really? I do?

90% of my complaints around here are Reggie-related. In fact, I’m usually the guy around her disagreeing because I’m too busy defending everyone else.

You didn't call yourself 'Casey's Kiss of Death'

for nothing.

including yourself now
I'm my biggest personal advocate
i second and even third that!
2nd and 3rd what?
about hating reggie
is anyone else worried that scot's history in oakland

will poke its head and he’ll give up a 900 foot homer to lose?

i likey shields being aggressive :)
Scot's PO'ed........and i like it!
Q!!!!!!!!!!!!
he's always walked himself into trouble for being so scared of everyone.... YAY Q!
nice hustle by twinkle toes
welcome sir
Q-D!!!
definetly a QD is quinlan
sorry, i'm old, i don't get it

i don’t understand what pwned means either

...Wood wouldn't have had to slide :P
lol @ twinkle toes ...Double T
oh Q with a defensive play???????

oh man….no that cant be true :)

see my comment above

lol

well thanks to wood and his offensive inept-ness......reggie had to pinch hit....wouldnt have to with Q ;)
ehh

i blame Soth and his lack of faith

Nice play q

You finally got out of the headlights

Sick!

Nice work Scott!

The New Scot

I like it

dominant inning for sheilds
yeah, nice oakland ghosts

really freaked scot out

this game is really hurting the progress of my paper

ive typed about 8 sentences in 3 hours

How much irvine

an dhow fullerton got swept by stanford
ASU ASU ASU

I like uci but im ASU all the way haha

i love when naps catches strike three and runs to the dugout before the call is made

he does it better than anyone else

Good butt-slide catch Q!

“See, I am too a baseball player.”

Naps was 2 steps to the dugout b4 K3YEROUT called

primo!

XD

Scot just runs off. Doesn’t wait for the call.

like he sank the game winning three

didn’t even have to watch it go in.

I thought ervin was the only one whos done that
oh SCOTTY def knows........
Wow Crosby is hurt agian

Vlad fails

Damn.

Not enough.

Come on Torii.

Popup to deep 2b..caught by RF…that is brutal!

VLAD, LET THEM WALK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

C’mon Torii cruz the Bentley

TORIIIIIIII

Vlad swinging at like 3 balls in the dirt.

I know golfing works on occasion, but if he’s gonna walk you, you can’t do anything about it.

pick up vlad torii
tori has a good eye....hit one up the middle or over 2nd tori!
man

i wish maicer was up

.............

he's not going to put one down the middle....everything is junk
vlad is hitting 250

250!!

torii taking a vacation
torii needs to learn how to lay off of that pitch

he cant hit the breaking ball away. we’ve seen this many-a-time

who goes in?
i think this team swings at a lot of junk =/
wow. wow. wow.

c’mon! doesn’t seem like we really want the sweep today. lets take it to extras, NO WALKOFFS!

Another choke job for this miserable offense

can’t say we didn’t have our chances.

The no-clutch a's

we’re safe

hold them thread revster!
pretty sure we're seeing speier

cause soth will want to save arre for the save.

Hunter = K3YEROUT

WOW! How many hanging breaking balls can one guy foul off in one AB? One was at the letters!

good thoughts for spieir
ohhh boy

harry carreys in

Speier in.

Here’s hoping for Good Justin.

wow Speier in for the hold?

maybe we’re hoping it goes to xtras and ET gets the save?

ET? i thought we had agreed on buckwheat
last i heard, it was ET
Pre-emptive blame of the game

goes to Oliver.

Speier K!

that looked good

sweet k for speier
My13 video is in mid-season form today.

Kotch with the Gold glove love

PLAY OF THE GAME! WOOHOO!

Sad thing

he probably won’t even be an All Star

I sure voted for him a boat load of times!

and plan to continue! :)

great Kotch catch!
HOLY SHIT KOTCH!!

Kotchman is such a bitch

HAHAHA

As hud says...

you got to go! OK Halos, time to wrap this up!

new thread rev please!
Who do you think you are?

I am not your bitch. I am not your employee.

You have wasted UMPTEEN comments whining for me to put up a new thread. Fucking Deal. An that was YOUR f-bomb of the month, mister negative.

As Dane Cook Says

Daddy just hit mom at the dinner tble and were ttying to move on

If Speier is back, this bullpen is just silly
time for a kotch rocket!
the "this is our division" thread :D
Hey Were still tied with these guys thread
is there any doubt quinlans winning this game?
yes

HUGE doubt

from your mouth to God's ear :D
let's go GMJ

make something happen

NEW THREAD!
We get it, you want a new thread.

if you paypal rev $100
he might listen to you?

thansks for backing me up guys

Shove your negative superstition up your fanatic ass.

I believe we renamed Rule 3 to B1STFU rule! Just 4 U! :)

I'll start a new one for $90
wow blue....a strike???? really???
horrible call blue
Make up call for 2nd pitch.
this guy sucks....they shouldn't swing at most pitches he throws
dang...

nice play by the SS out there.

Only a good play because he bobbled it the first time.
True

Dude move like one foot to backhand a ball.

Naps missed his pitch

gotta pull that one, Mikey

Yep, got under a hanger.
To the bottom of the 10th!
it's going to have to be won in the 11th guys....how about a "angels win in the 11th" thread???
Look at a few of my recent comments to your "polite requests"
LOL....fine...
well, that was an embarrassing stat

only 2 undefeated 6 away-game streaks in club history? Yeesh.

just another ball kotched
Kotch is the man.
Is Napoli balding?
nah

buzz cut… he shaved off the rally hawk

He has Mohawk
not anymore
Don't know why.

It was working.

Kotchman is Soild … and Speiers is dealing!!!

come on speier....shut 'em down!

naw his mom told him to shave off his mohawk

speier looking goooood
Great D boy king :D
Yeah, nice job Izzy.
We're winning this in the 11th....i can already read the MLB article
At the bottom of the pge

Cause the yanks won and redsux played today

i'm calling it! ;)
6 up, 6 down
To the 11th!
I like how Justin thought about reaching for that, then

pulled back. Gotta trust your D with those.

Arredondo strikes fear of god in to Speier to pitch better or lose his job.
Dunno bout that.

Speier is taking $4 million to the bank either way.

fear of being traded to KC for a player to be named later
Ah mater...... much later!
Wow, Speier looks great

Though in fairness, I’m not sure Oakland has any idea what to do when a pitcher doesn’t let them walk.

damnit, I have to go to the gym...

Don’t mess this up without me, Angels.

lead off double for Q....come on Q!
I foresee Q upping his stock on the team...
oh yeah,

Q’s hitting MUCH better than Wood :P

it’s a joke! relax, kids

atleast Q can make contact ;)
hey hey hey

i believe flew out at least once today!
and he had a double yesterday, so NYAH!

let him walk u pharaoh
WALK

like an Egyptian

Nice try Q.
Nice try, Q. Gotta get it down a bit.
this pitcher sucks....come on halos!
rally time!

and here we go…

Mice Tips

on base, very cool

Woo. Izzy walk
double in the gap for howie (let's make a deal) kendrick!
LOL

nice thought

a double would be nice

with maicer on the move….make it happen howie!

work that 2-0 or 3-0 count and then sit on that fastball howie
Physioc

on a long detailed step-by-step discussion of a game situation from yesterday.

Doofus.

Let's wait for Brown to walk us in...
Bats on the shoulder!

Walky walky walky?

Brown can't find the zone.

Admittedly, it’s been a tough zone to find, today…

how much litter flies on the field in oakland... thats like the 3rd baggy ive seen fly across the mound
it is baggy trash day at the stadium

everyone, get a free simulated tarp that looks like a baggy

that should definitely be the plan....he's wild
TaketaketakeTaketaketakeTaketaketakeTaketaketake
he's gonna walk him....i can feel it!
BBx2!

GA lazy it up!

huh, 11th inning?

what did i miss?

a lot of missed opportunity

wait, that could be any game right?

Quentin flew out to CF
Been a while!
Yup.

I’ve been waiting though. :-P

rally rally!!!
first pitch swinging??? i would .....
Bob Guerin

isn’t he a forward in the NHL?

2 on for GA.
please GA
hopefully he is bored

that is when he does most of his damage.

HK= BB Gazoo to 2b

too stupid to make the eyeblack pic work! Slacker?!

Photobucket

pasting the link on photobucket does not work…what do I have to do to use it here?

Phyzz Quote:

And the Angels given the opportunity in this game and NOW can they GRASP it?

Steve Physioc is Bozo.

the pitchers going to wanna get ahead of cadillac....swing at the 1st pitch GA!
BB for Howie

1st and 2nd now!

Rally Time!

new thread, Rev! new thread! ;)

Rejected.
joking guys

i was joking

That's actually what I figured, but you gotta be careful with jokes like that.
there is no humour or sarcasm allowed on HH
For the love of God... please stop asking for new threads
Me thinks...

this was poking fun :P

thank you, scottnak

for recognizing sarcasm

it was a jab at the other guy
GA double over 1st base...i'm calling it!
now that's bb bb baseball
Howie tripled his walk total today
0-2 on GA + side armer = not good
dont be afraid to K GA

better than a ground ball

gotta be kidding me…

RATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
good one

time for us to bust out the Rally Rat

ugh

wow that hurts

Damn.

Unlucky :(

double play....unbeliveable!

damn damn damn damn!

i thought that was it
Blah...

Bad luck. Nice try GA

who's gonna pitch?
I might let Justin try for one more.

Only thrown 20 pitches.

*Headdesk*

Unfreaking believable.

redondo beach ??
i love that one
Dondo goes 2 innings?

that sucked

Speier for 3?

wow!

Pitch count's pretty low, plus hasn't pitched in a while.
True true.

2nd half worries me a bit though. But I’m cool wid it.

come on speier!....siddem down in order!
barton didnt want to swing
7 in a row

2 more please

I am suprised that Kotchman

did not call off Gary and make another circus catch

hey!

no humor. :P

Fangraphs had Garret as the top offensive guy for the day

now he’s break-even. Poor guy…his attempt won’t be showing up in any box score.

please! please! please!
That will prove to be the game winner

for Oakland.

Nah, it'll be okay.
Can't give the "one more chance.." A's

any extra outs.

Gotta have faith. ;)
bleh

Naps missed an out

my13 sucks... whats with this camera crap
Santa Barbara Angel fans sabotaging MY 13!
Nuts. Nice try Naps.
i know...i hate it! :(
Speier suddenly found his slot?

I think naps didn’t know where the screen or the wall was. He looked scared.

luckily the Naps E means nothing

2 outs

whew

naps play didn’t cost us

get suzuks out justin!
Nice D boys.
Speier is looking sharp.
it's the Dondo factor!

competition is a good thing

"howies gonna make a play on that" hud cracks me up
We gotta score runs

Booty is loosening up!

tell me you are joking
No, no he isn't. -_-
We need runs so Frankie can close it out.

Otherwise it’ll be time to squat.

frankie shut down today
So that means Jose is the closer?
bootcheck?

thats a joke, right?

Chugging aloooong
speier's dealing !
NIce bag defense there, HK47
Speier = Spanther
didn't mean to hit "reply" there, buggy!
stalker..... ;-D
both justin and scot

were amazing

9 up 9 down
"Lucky 13th" inning. Walk-off run to end the game in favor of the Angels.

Let’s Go Angels!

Visiting team can't walk-off.

Sorry.

that would be funny if they tried to

just run off the field after scoring a run

OK guys, we gotta muscle up and win this game, cause time just ran out.
if we win i say Speier panther
take some pitches vlad....they want no part of you
Alright guys, gonna have to win this game in this inning.

Cause Bootcheck is the next guy in.

let's win first!
read it and weep:
