Halos Heaven

I'm pretty sure it's still 2-3-2 unless MLB have changed something

Anyway I’d rather play 4 at home than at …. say, Wrigley, despite what our road record says about it.

walk to get to kinsler?

isn’t he on a ridiculous hot streak

Ok

No way Kinsler doesn’t end it here.

IBB to Morneau.

Time for a Ranger to once again own the NL.

Sweet intentional walk

let’s bring up the hottest batter in baseball?

Lefty-righty matchup.

cook obviously excels only at ridiculously morbid situations... it's all strategy

boom... so unclutch

haha, nice

Isn't that Derek Jeter?

Like, he is so…hot

\o/ Lets gooo

"Ball hit up the middle"

-Joe Buck

Drink!!

bottoms up !!

bottoms up!

Ahhh!

joe buck just got excited cause he just heard someone say "bottoms up"

Hilarious!

East Coast fails to watch West Coast baseball

East Coast pays the price.

Why are they pitching to Kinsler?

Navarro the sloth is on deck.

BAHAHAHAHA!!

effff

somebody freaking end this!

Aaron Cook for MVP.

damn...

when will Selig call the game?

bud selig looks bored

he probably is

...the commie…

Viva Viagra

nice!

Texas fails again

hauldog - July 15, 2008 reply

13 13 13 13 13

Can Aaron Cook get a complete game?

Kinsler you suck

Shitty haircut boy

The all-stars are worse than we are at getting runs in.

Holy cow.

"Call a doctor if your erection last more that 14 hours"

-Viva Viagra Voice Over Guy

Well, you'd be so exhausted you'd have to

Greatest product warning in history.

14 hours? I had an erection that lasted 4 years.

It was called high school.

Servite?

No - I just loved 16 year old girls. I still do.

Ooops. Too much information.

All boys Catholic school. Think about it.

You know screw Holliday

We need to trade to the Rockies for Aaron Cook. This guy is a pimp.

He eats runners on third for breakfast

11-6, 3.57 ERA

he’s another Santana, but with less Ks

making him another Saunders?

He plays in Coors.

good point

that’s a lot of wins para us

"Down and in"

-Joe Buck

Not enough liquor in the house, dude.

drink up... im afraid to say bottoms up .. joe buck might hear me

ahhhhh!

Mmmm...Budweis...er, I mean Stella Artois

ahhhh!

"the National League is in a better position"

-Joe Buck

sorry Red. I had to

Please, bring in Marmol

I dare you.

pleeeease. haha

"Back in Pittsburgh when he went deep"

-Joe Buck

shit im gonna have to go to a bar for all this alcohol intake pretty soon

Ask your doctor is Smirnoff is right for you

Call immediately if feelings of invincibility and suave charm last more than 14 hours.

I just brought my laptop into the t.v. room

so I could cash in on some Buck-isms with Red.

Sherril with the D.

"Now it's Sherril's turn"

-the other guy with Joe Buck

Tim McCarver

ahh thanks

Where in the heck is Scott Kazmir?

Dave and Busters?

They keep showing him sitting in the bullpen, looking bored now that he's alone.

playing skeet ball and eating potato skins in the bullpen

He keeps feeding quarters into Virtua Cop 3 last I checked

"Handle someone else's pitcher"

-Joe Buck

"[funny shit about handling a pitcher how he wants to be handled]"

- Joe Buck

Eva Longoria might know

"Went into Tony LaRussa's..."

-Joe Buck

"LaRousa sat him down and said, it's really somethin' isn't it"

-Joe Buck

Ahhhh!

"I like having sex with other men"

- Joe Buck

i think i missed that one

Turn up the volume

it was there.

LMAO

Must have been in the Spanish simulcast

"Right down the middle. 92 miles per hour"

-Joe Buck

"Right down the middle"

-Joe Buck

25+ years of Angels baseball has made me impervious to the late hour effects of this game

"He pops it up... squeezes it"

-Joe Buck

HOLY SHIT… I CAN’T MAKE THIS STUFF UP

Ahhhhh!

You know you're tired when you find these quotes hilarious.

C'mon guys

It sucks enough hearing it once… haha.

As the Rev once said

Game threads are not the place for the faint of heart

can we have a drink when joe buck DOESNT say something fruity ?

seriously...

Fellas

Please stop the innuendos.

it's ALL Joe Buck cupie

To be fair

I don’t think “I like having sex with other men” counts as “innuendo”

Well this is Yankee Stadium

A stadium where Wang has been taken deep.

Haha!!

I think Dickey went deep there too

When our own Dick Wood goes deep there, I'll laugh heartily

only if he goes deep off of Wang

Hahahahha!!! or ROFL!

Hey. I still have business cards that say Wang, with my name on them.

Sorry to be the Dick! but this is a last warning for a lot of you.

Be Cool.

sorry, missed that

Oh crap.

This piece of crap has lasted so long that the movie ended. My wife is so bored she turned it on.

"You can take a short ride... 63% larger than the current..."

-Joe Buck

Navarro is so slow even Uggla can concentrate on fielding the ball.

That's why they didn't walk Kinsler

To watch Navarro try to run to first while Uggla eats a burger then throws him out.

"Hasn't gone deep since the 19th of June"

-Tim McCarver

drinking again

when does this game end? The drinking game … that is

"Kazmir was getting loose"

Uggla'd

is that like Quinlan'd?

DAN UGGLA AL MVP!!

I've started feeling bad for Uggla

wow... poor Uggla

you think he’s nervous?

Dang... Ugla is have an Ugly game

Uggla - again! Is there a stat that can measure his fumbling?

Man, terrible hop

It's that amazing, memorable, awesome field that is Yankee Stadium.

You probably heard of it, no? Did they fail to mention the stadium tonight?

I think Billy Martin would have fielded that one.

So would have Steve Sax.

Chuck Knoblauch as well

Is that where they're playing?

This is probably the most exciting thing that’s ever happened there, eh?

bullshit terrible hop

That was a candy hop. Terrible stone-handed 2B. Thank goodness we don’t have this guy.

we could use his bat though

yeah, but uggla hits bombs

.280 hitter with 20+ HR

stick him in LF

all will be well

actually he's usually a pretty good fielder

not the best, but 6 errors so far this year is not bad
apparently he’s way nervous

good call

nice job dan

3rd error…..all star record

All Star.

All. Star.

ugggglaaa....

bahaha

that was a pretty bad hop...

"Aaron Cook, by the way, was OUTSTANDING"

MY needs to hit a pop fly over the wall in right.

Dan Uggla can't tag either.

Holy shit, he is the worst 2B ever.

that wasn't their SS?

Nope, Uggla again.

time for a position change para him

Dodgers can't be too happy having Martin play so many innings.

Guys

that was a routine fucking “bad hop.” It wasn’t anywhere near as bad as Buck and McCarver want to say. He should have had it.

It wasn't even a bad hop

It was a routine play, a candy hop

No! Hops at Yankee Stadium are magical.

cue magical background music

JD Drew with the wheels

i can't believe i've been sitting here for

FIVE HOURS

at least joe buck has given you plenty of reasons to drink

And, again, you guys have been forced to listen to that music ALL NIGHT???

yeah, fox has to find some better music

and some more yankee stadium stories

The Admiral, Izzy and Kotch would have won this game by now.

Dude, the Angels would have won this hours ago.

how about that potent angels offense lol...

That's true - I believe the Angels would have won this game.

But Angel haters would then be screaming, “LUCK! LUCK!”

Hell Budde would have gotten us a walk-off by now

Angels fans. Good times.

twice

Panther.

Just remember our last awesome win before the ASB

Willits going balls out to score from second on an infield grounder. We’re awesome!

Navarro would still be running if he had been on 2nd for that game

OMG it's cubs vs. white sox

id say 2 more innings and bud selig stops it

again i ask...

who get’s home field advantage then?

he should have to pay for his stupidity.

Terry Francona forced to forfeit thanks to his bonehead managing.

NATE MCLOUTH SO CLOSE!

agreed

14!

Someone get kazmir a magazine or something out there.

shoulda brought his gameboy

tie tie tie tie tie

Quentin... Ks. That doesn't sound right...

did't he get shit last time?

you think he’ll do it again?

meant to post under "Selig Stops It"

At least this time they didn't tell us he has the most game winning hits this year

did Quentin just fly out?

Quentin whiffed

never mind

dude

that was like so 2 months ago

my bad... :(

Francona's gonna have to pitch Kazmir sooner or later

He can’t kill Sherrill

seriously, sherrill is on my fantasy team

Holy shit NATE!!

Oh, man, so close.

daaaaang

Mclouth almost shoved it right up the AL’s butt

oh man so close

Who knew New York had a marine layer?

I think it's the layer from the street vendor hot dogs.

if there was one hitter i wouldnt have minded hitting it out

it would have been mclouth

McClouth gave it a ride. I like this guy.

Arte – get him!

no kidding

Nate McClouth is the only person on the field who wants to win.

shit web and lidge

Now taking suggestions

on how to fix the player selection for this annual peice of crap and avoid these debacles.

DON'T USE ALL YOUR STARTERS DURING A NINE INNING GAME.

that's funny

Francona over managed.

Keep clutch people around on the bench.

keep Izzys on both teams

don't let fans vote anymore

and don’t let retards manage the game

So Sosh has to manage BOTH sides, EVERY year?

looks like it

P.S. - I am totally down with elimination of fan voting.

seriously

let the players and managers do it.
fans can vote in the SPs or something stupid like that

Absolutely.

The cop-out that “the game is for the fans” to total B.S. ALL OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL IS FOR THE FANS, FOLKS. It. Is. Entertainment. Put together for fan enjoyment and suck the wallets as dry as possible. Period. End of story. there is nothing different in that respect for the ASG.

BUT, the ASG CAN be something different, something special, and that is if it returns to a game of merit, peer-voting, which is the legacy that this piece of crap is milking.

Instead of AT LEAST ONE player from each team, it should be NO MORE THAN 4 PLAYERS FROM ANY TEAM. Players and managers and coaches vote. Starters play at least 5. Each player represents some charity and winning side collects $100K per player for charity of choice. Winner take all. Losing side left to apologize for their sucktitude. No home field advantage in WS stuff.

So screw Bay and Holliday. I want Nate Mclouth.

40-player rosters?

next year

selig’s a douchebag

why was Hamilton taken out?

we could use his power right now

Juice up now for the NL

Nate McClouth and Aaron Cook for future Angel acquisition.

this is the game that never ends this is the game that never ends!!

Call it a tie and give home field to whichever league won the celebrity softball game

lol

Tim Raines hit a freakin' bomb in that game

I saw some of the replay.

And Kenny Mayne made about a billion errors, fell down running to first, and couldn’t hit for crap…the broadcasters couldn’t stop making fun of him.

so did Paul O'Neil

he eff’d a ball up

My least favorite of all Yankees outside of Jeter

somebody PLEASE

im so bored of this but ive already invested 5 hours…

luckily, i've only had to sit through about 1 hour thus far

That's a sunk cost. Turn it off.

Dude this is pure entertainment.

Dude it's 6.17 am in Scotland

It is NOT entertaining

Go to sleep.

It’ll still be going when you get up

the celebrity went to 20 innings and was a tie oops

Damn!

no it didn't

i think it only went the normal 5

which position player pitches first?

Jose Canseco

that would be an awesome cameo appearance

Canseco got

knocked the fuck out!

i hope it doesnt come to that

I love living on the West Coast!

and now Hurdle wants to kill Webb's arm

put in sammy sosa, barry bonds, roger clemens, mark maguire, amd rafeal palmero

someone tell Lincecum to quit being a woman

and pitch.

man up, kid!

LULZ!

OMGLMAOROFLCOPTERS!

or something like that

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

you win

They're going to have to chopper Linsicomb (sp?) in from the hospital to pitch.

Lincecum

I like my way better

yeah me too

just thought i’d help

Appreciated

ESPN

will officially declare this the greatest ALL STAR GAME of all the time as soon as it is over.

Didn't they already declare it that like last week?

It is at YANKEE STADIUM after all

That's the best part of all this, that this Yankee BJ goes out a total stinker.

i think it was being called that

before it started just cuz of where its being played

That happened already, years ago

when they chose Yankee Stadium as the site.

Wow, a triple-echo.

*Double

"My partner Tim McCarver was 2 for 2 in that game..."

-Joe Buck

"partner"

glug...glug...glug

C'mon, Evan

walk-off.

anyone notice how bored the fans look?

Joe Buck sounded bored teasing the 15th inning too

That guy with the 'what a game' sign didn't look so impressed

17 at the all-star break

AND NO ALL STAR ROSTER PLACEMENT FOR TIMMY

Yup.

Fuck you Gaston.

tim salmon reference?!

i cant believe that just happened

0_0

I… I can’t believe it…

Everybody DRINK!

glug...glug...

yeah, that was a salmon rookie year ref.

awesome stuff buck/mccarver

DRINK DRINK DRINK DRINK!

Ratings just came in.

Buck/McCarver just got the word that the entire east coast and central have gone off to bed.

doubt it

he’s still jabbering about the Sawx

Get your tits out for the lads Eva

HOLY **** BUCK GETS 50,000 POINTS FOR A TIM SALMON REFERENCE!

you sure he didn't say "semen"???

ewwwwwwwwwww

Red

tone it down.

wow

Longoria sucks and Webb is a manimal, even after throwin 108 pitches 2 effing days ago

Let Tim Salmon pinch hit

Walk-off for sure.

HELL YES!

ok, thats it, its 120 and i have class tomorrow

and im not even watching a real game

back in Bahston?

yeah seriously

us poor souls on the east coast have to suffer through this crap
and another uggly at bat

Dammit, I have 15 episodes of Law and Order Tivo'd

and they need watchin’

me too

Which is your favorite version, and who is the best detective ever on it?

our friendship depends on the correct answer to this

ASG MVP: tim mccarver

sitting in the booth with joe buck for 14+ innings

Here comes Kazmir!

Joe Maddon’s gonna be pissed off!

Kazmir!

Tie clock is ticking faster now.

XD

Uggla for AL MVP.

poor uggla

Oh uggla.

man uggla 3's wild... 3 errors 3 k's .... OUCH

you think Uggla's pissed enough to pull a Tulo

and shatter a bat?

McLouth - 26, plays all 3 OF positions well, bats left

This season: 281/.357/.542
On the road: .296/.385/.568

I want this guy in the Angels outfield.

Yes Yes Yes.

wow

that’s impressive

yeah, they love him out here in pittsburgh

(i’m an unfortunate transplated socal guy)

WANT.

Just realized

Those numbers AND he laid down a bunt like a champ. This dude rules.

Yup, I want Nate McLouth.

"Red, tone it down"

-Cupie

DRINK!

"He is tapped"

-Joe Buck

Should we just have a home run derby, ala PK's in soccer to end this massacre?

What did Buck say was Kazmir's pitch limit?

he didnt

we just know he has one

Unknown.

It’s in Francona’s head.

so it's never coming out?

that thing’s like a black hole

That's a good point.

Kaz may be screwed.

I just say a position player comes in to pitch

Kazmir can play 1B. Let Kinsler or Quentin throw a frame. Now THAT would be fun.

On a serious note, this game is a perfect example of...

good pitching beating good batting. Which means should the Halos make the playoffs in good health, our pitchers can compensate for the lack of a brutal offensive onslaught.

DRINK!

yeah, plus our offense is 'bout to average 5 runs a game 2nd half

The AL is averaging 1.9 runs/9 innings

at least until Speier and Bootcheck come in

WAIT! there’s a solution to this!

put Speier on the AL and Booty on the NL. see who scores first

anybody know joe borowski's phone # ?

976-JOE-BORO

very clever.. .he used his ERA as the area code

I said "good pitching"

oh my bad

dude seriously...

selig… whoever makes it to 3rd base first wins….

Selig is on the phone ordering the NL to throw nothing but meatballs this inning

Gosh folks, this is a long All Star Game.

44FAN - July 15, 2008 reply

GMJ vs. Andruw Jones, first to make contact wins

first not to ground out to second wins, i think

first to help a rally wins...rather than kill ?

we'd be here even longer

please don’t do that

play the f'ing game... however long it takes

AL better win this thing right now

this is just ridiculous

deer - July 15, 2008 reply

lidge has been warming up for 8 innings now

My all family members and friends watch every match these teams.

44FAN - July 15, 2008 reply

Lidge in, Kazmir in

I think this is it, last chance, then it’s a tie.

Nope, some position player is pitchin!

No way that happens

Fox's East Coast ratings.......sinking............sinking.........sinking.....

All players in.

Wow, a visual of the Big A during the 1967 All Star Game

that was cool

fluke

it was supposed to be something about Derek Jeter

we got a hit! we got a hit!

Anaheim reference

Longest AS game ever 1967 game DRINK DRINK DRINK

That would have been a better drinking game.

Every time there was an Angel-related reference.

Lidge is gonna blow it.

Agreed

Bunt Kinsler?

They need a home run. Martin won't let anyone score any other way.

McCann is behind the plate now.

"Guzman about even with the bag"

-Joe Buck

glug

MVP = whoever ends this damn game

so bud selig could get the mvp?

=)

haha, good catch

bud selig NOT allowed to be mvp

i'm sure he could change that rule...

i still say tim mccarver...

hahahaha

wow!

Ryan Ludwick with highway robbery!

"That is a concerned manager right there."

Camera showed Youkillis = BRILLIANT

Jeebus! Great play Ludwick

Holy cow.

I didn’t turn this game on until, what, the 28th inning? And this is the 2nd time even I have seen Navarro bat.

Come on Nancy!!!

That's right Justin, respect McClouth's arm.

nice!

Nice job Navarro!

Ludwick is an asshole.

Let that ball drop, Cards are gonna fold in the second half anyway.

thats just what we need

another reason for the world to never shut up about the Sawx.

blow it Drew!

But if he gets MVP,

the Sux will keep him for another 5 years. All good!

Good thinking!

it's so hard to root for the AL

when JD drew is batting

Holy Shit

So long that the Yankee fans are cheering for Drew.

"Blow it Drew"

-howiestheman

lol

XD

"McCann, who's getting his first action, blocked it"

-Joe Buck

Buck wants JD Drew to end it so bad.

So he can go home and have sex with men.

Uh oh, bases loaded

Can they bring Cook back in?

does buck get paid by the hour?

Based loaded

Young’s gotta do it here.

Walked him.

Michael Young up. Lidge gonna blow it.

It's down to Michael Young

HOLY SHIT!

MONEAU SCORES!!1

he runs about as slow as Navarro

lamest sac fly ever

THERE IT IS!!!

way to go, Young!!!!

Wow, what a weird ending.

thank god it's over

one hell of an effort by martin though

mccann, sorry

McCann gets some serious cred.

How many pitches did he have to deal with? 100 squats ‘til 1:45 in the morning?

nah, mccann just came in

in the bottom of the 15th…

but if we're going to pimp martin some more...

martin came in in the bottom of the 5th and stayed till the 14th….that’s more than an entire game!

really?

it’s all a blur. i blame red.

PS - I knew that. Weak display of sarcasm on my part.

nice recovery

McCann

Martin doesn’t let anyone score.

i realized my mistake as soon as i typed it!

I know, I just wanted to pimp Martin some more

Martin would have blocked it

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE!!!!

Light up Games 1, 2, 6 and 7

at Katella and St College

NL shoulda voted in someone with an arm

that throw was damon-esque

Seriously

It barely made it to the plate. McCann had to go halfway to first to get it

And Morneau still barely got there.

but he still had time to almost tag out Morneau at home

yeah, and hart was the last guy vote in

you hafta blame this squarely on the NL voters

Jeez and it was STILL a close play!

Holy crap that was the closest play at the plate ever.

Hart = weakest arm in an ASG outfield. Ever.

1 of many weakest ASG performances ever....

uggla…. 3 k’s 3 e’s
francona… worst managing ever

And The Soth..........................smiles.

Panther Uggla!

Thank god -- I was getting pretty drunk from all of "Joe Buck's" one liners

Now let’s gear it up and start the second half with some Rod Sux asswhoopin!

McLouth should have run all the way across RF to make the catch and the throw.

agreed!

we need that guy in halo red

Panther.

Oh and Morneau for MVP.

Agreed

no way !! dont let justin share the same honor GA had

ASG MVP and HRD champ …

fox covers red sox vs. angels saturday right ?

more joe buck 1-liners !!!

drink!!!

glug

Gotta make a trip to the liquor store

And the liver store.

panther

better stock up for sunday too... ESPN covers

gotta drown out joe morgan somehow

joe morgan = worst announcer ever

1000 times worse than buck

new drinking game !! take a drink everytime joe morgan says california angels

Going to be an interesting weekend, what, with back-to-back Buck and Morgan one liners

Stock up!

wait, they have liver stores now?

Morneau scores the winning run and the HRD.

44FAN - July 15, 2008 reply

Whovever the ESPN guys are

They are freaking BITTER. LOL Suckit you losers.

BTW, the guys on ESPN right now are ****ing tired as hell

and sound REALLY bitter.

Let me guess...Kruk is hungry and pissy?

No, I mean the sportscenter commentators. They seriously sound tired as ****.

They made a reference to the BBTN crew, I think they have to go wake them up.

Our guys pitched 2.1 innings of a 15-inning game

Everybody else rested for the second half. I disagree Francona overmanaged. He protected all the guys on the teams that are in contention.

Kazmir?

25% of the pitching staff. 15% of the playing time.

Leave our guys alone. I’m good with that.

first ASG w/ no mvp

seriously, nobody deserves it

Actually, I'd still give it Aaron Cook.

Seriously.

jd drew can suck it

ASG MVP = most overrated award ever

Who the hell is rating it to begin with?

It seems like I always hear people refer to ASG MVPs like they're important. At all.

all i know is i was excited when GA won it :D

That's fine

It’s fun, but I swear I hear people bring it up when discussing a player’s career achievements. Whatever, I’m tired.

somebody rates awards?

Wow, I totally forgot about the 2 run homer Drew hit

In my defense though, that was like a week ago.

By the way, is cupie still around?

What gives Cupie?

Moderator Cupie issued me a warning and banned me from posting is this thread after my last post.

Over zealous if you ask me.

Haven't you been reading his comments??

yes Scott...

Did you read mine? I don’t see the reason to be officially warned or banned from posting.

shrug

Warning is 100% warranted…
And cupie told you to stop and you didn’t… I can see where he’s coming from…

STOP WHAT???

I didn’t post anything that I could imagine being offensive (especially after his warning.) I read EVERYTHING on this site and… give me a break… what I posted should NOT get you banned.

Of course you see where he’s coming from… you’re a moderator yourself.

Look, I appreciate what you guys do, but be fair.

I didn't realize that posting DIRECT QUOTES by Joe Buck would get you banned.

Over zealous moderator this evening IMHO.

If I’m going to be singled out like this, I’ll certainly reconsider my participation on HalosHeaven.com

Anywhoo

Cupie made a results thread. Go there to vent about this crazy game.
here!
