Let's DO IT ANGELS.
let's get it back!

yeah, im lookin’ at you, Vlad

Checking in ROLL CALL

Watching with a baseball virgin. Let’s see a classic Halo comeback.

We'll be gentle
I'm not gonna be gentle

He’s either a Halo fan or he’s out on the street

YOU DA MAN!!!
RALLY TIME

make amends Vladdy

For all the worrying, Oliver did a shutdown job right there.

Well done, Darren.

Oliver asks for nothing

... and gives everything

thats why he's D-nasty
ahg;jgljaguaoijbusajbpaoju'gjkagj'poaju'poajlaj

RALLY CRY!!!!!!!!!!

Home run
you calling it?
I am indeed

making up for the catch

close.... he got under it

you’re not allowed to call things anymore. :P

Retribution...

HR is the only solution

LET'S GO ANGELS!

It’s time to scores some runs for us.

Don't try to tie it up with 1 swing guys.

We want to WIN, not tie the game.

Though, big hits are appreciated
Yeah, but you don't get the big hits by popping the ball a million miles in the air.

Square it up.

our entire lineup caught the Mathis disease
Its Wakefield...

requires patience and experience

where was that a strike?!?
Jeezus

Not a good inning

Pop-up.

Pop-up.
Pop-up.

GA had a fly out, technically. >_>
there's a reason why Wakefield has been pitching since Slicky Willie took office.......

hes pretty good….

That was uninspiring
Wakefield apparently is the greatest pitcher ever

by the way they talk him up, you would think he’s undefeated and a 18 time Cy Young winner

Delcarmen will be pitching the next inning

I think that’s good

It better be awsesome!
We will light up DelCarmen
I really really hope they put up at least one in the 8th

so we don’t have to see Papelbon’s punch-me face in the 9th

Really?

That’s good for us.

I like that Soth left him in
big inning right here ... got to get thru it first
Strike Whoopi out right here, dammit
Whoopi, I like that
as if Saturday's nonsense about Manny's contract wasn't enough...

now we get to hear Part 2 tonight

Took 'em 8 innings to bring up the Manny 09 option?
NOOOOOOOOOO

Speier is up in the pen

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

we want this sweep!

Won't matter unless we score in the next couple innings anyway.
does Pukilis have MS?
SIT YOUR ASS DOWN LOWELL
Its not too late for a benches-clearing brawl
i just hate looking at youklis
where was that one?

ball 4 looked an awful lot like strike 1 to me

had Mathis caught it, it would have been
Me too.

But Mathis missed the catch.

somehow, i wasnt aware that that mattered
It doesn't

But it doesn’t help.

thats what i thought
Oliver's looked pretty good

But why is he pitching against all these right-handed hitters?

why not?
thats the same argument soth makes when he pencils Q into the lineup
Because he pwns them
I'd rather see Oliver than Speier right now
Definitely

But Arredondo was warming up last inning with Oliver

And strike 3. Guess that speaks for itself.

Jon Lester... Jon Lester... he's SOOOOOOOOOOOOO amazing OMFGLMAOcopters!

hey retards!
we have 3 guys who are better than him this year!

Very nice job by Oliver tonight
aaaaaaand blow me
beautiful pitch, Oliver

can we PH for Mathis this inning?

If there's a situation that calls for it.

But if there are 2 outs and no one on, Jeff has as good a chance as anyone in our lineup of hitting.

but not getting on base

the dude can’t walk

NICE JOB D-NASTY!!!!!!!!!
Good Show Oliver.
Come on Rivera-Kendrick-Someone other than Mathis!
maybe a lil admiral action..........some deja vu is in order
i completely agree
I could get behind that
I'm down with another Ackbar appearance
lol

this is where i miss Naps. at least he was capable of hitting… or walking.
mathis is just a black hole

Oh baloney.

Mathis can get a hit, and is more likely than anybody on the bench to homer.

i dont think so

more capable than anyone else of homering… because we have NO power on the bench.
i think Aybar is more likely to hit

6 homers in 168 AB
please, angels, please, please, please.

win this.

sit your ass down

bless your Oliver

Let's Go halos!
Round on me if Juan goes yard
can I have half of one?
Wakefield puts on a show

and Garland/Oliver did….. nothing?

Dial 8 for long distance!
No walks

ridiculous

I like the perspective...

“Now he misses..” vs. “Good eye by Rivera”

There we go!

I knew JR was due to nail this guy.

Stand-up double for JUAN!!
alright !!! double for juan !
PINCH RUN REGGIE!
OH and hells yeah Rivera!
nice hit, Juanito!
nice Rivera!

let’s cash ‘em in, boys

Hell yeah, Big Juan
Reggie!

Come on Howie Doubles.

atta boy Johnny Rivers!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If Kendrick bunts I'll eat my hat
Howie's swinging
rick willits in for Johnny

come on Howie!!!!!!11

Rick Willits now in for Rivera
that sounds like a pretty good pr0n name
hahahahaha

good call

HOWIE !!!!

tie game !

Yeah Howie!

There’s your bunt right there!

HOWIE!!!!!!!!!!

YOU ARE THE MAN!!!

time for one of HK47s patented doubles
i got mind control over this shit
lol

THATS HOWIE DO !!!
HOWIE!!!!

Fuck you Red Sux nation! There’s my July.

Howard the Duck in da house
Howie doubles.
EFF YEAH RICHIE CUNNINGHAM!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reggie, Reggie, Reggie! WOOT!
YEAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Credit this one to the monkey

Also Rivera, Scoscia, Willits, and Kendrick

Mostly the monkey.

bye bye timmy
hahahaha douchebag

eat that, bandwagoners

i smell a SWEEP!

alright! and now mathis is up!

yes.

Rivera + Kendrick = Clutch part of the lineup.
Do you sac bunt Mathis right here?
Do you hit water if you jump off a pier?
Probably with begs the question... Why take wake out now.

Incidentally, wakefield was my favorite musician in YES

oh yeah, bunt HK over and let figgy and kotch take their shots
I say pinch hit with Aybar and swing away
This team rocks!

Breakin the Gene Mauch curse!

mathis will bunt
put the bunt down, Mathis
That strike was BS.
Debatable strike
Oh BS on that strike.
Dude's gotta throw a strike ...
walks are ok too i guess...
BUDDE woulda put the bunt down.........
Wood would've homered
Mathis does his job
good bunt mathis... got the job done
good job, Jeffy-poo

Howie to 3rd

Nice job Mathis

Actually a pretty good game tonight. Good sac bunt, two nice defensive plays.

If only he could throw out a runner
he did

the ump is blind

Sorry

you guys are right, forgot about that

yea but still it was a pretty bad throw
Now the real question is

Which pitch do they suicide squeeze? I say the third

i'd love to see it
way to do your JOB, Johnny
Mathis is the best bunter on the team
i thought that was Rick Willits
Good sac, Jeff.

Let’s go Figgs!

Figgy Figgy Figgy
work it baby work it.......
Desmond needs to hit something in the outfield

Channel the spirit of Nathan Haynes

Fuck that chin music
Setting up the DP... obviously
John Miller hopes so
hahaha

it’s all a part of the Sawx master plan

If he's gonna walk ya, let him walk ya Figgs.
3-0...........take take take
3-0 squeeze is off
lol borderline strike too
Francona wants to feature Pedroia
BS strike call
Plate seems to get wider and narrower at random
the umps are on the bandwagon
that was weeeeeeeeakkkkk
Alright, let's go Kotch
good eye, Figgz

here comes Klutchman

All is going according to plan...
I hope it's not a trap
Casey at the bat

Let’s go!

ball 4

lets go CK!!!!!!!

why don't they just bring in Papelbon

it doesn’t get any more high leverage than this

kotch, make 'em pay.
Figgy BB

GO KOTCH.

now what?

send Figgy
Hit and run with Figgy
Squeeze
hit away

seriously,

so many choices, lets hope theirs works!

steal 2b
I'd say let CK hit a double
Way togo Figgy
we need you here krotch
Figgy's gotta steal a bag here
OK Kotch, they didn't want none of Figgs.

This one’s up to you.

OMG I can't watch

Smoke

its clutch time kotch .. right now
kotchman doesnt know the meaning of "Ground Ball"
i wish i knew what was going on.
umm... ball 1 for kotch

strike 2 for figgy.

not complaining though

Figgy scores!
CLLLLLLLLLUUUUUTCH
Casey Klutchman!
YEAH KOTCHMAN!!!
KOTCHMAN!!!!!!!!!!

FTW!!!!!!!!

ANGELS RULE!!!
Um, wow

How the hell did he hit that pitch there? KotchMAN is a wizard with the bat.

U-S-A! U-S-A!
lol

cuz the Sawx are commies?

Do you believe in miracles!
2 RBI double for Kotch
Good times never seem so good
******Casey Kotchman*******HERO!**********
Angels got mind control over the Red Sox
if Izzy makes an out

does anyone think Del Carmen might hit Vlad?

Lackey might kill him
I LOVE YOU CK!!!!!!!!

Touching me
sweet caroline....

BAH BAH BAH

KLUTCH!!!!!!!!!!!!
If we hold on for the win

Will ESPN say it was a sweep? or just say the Sox just could not hold the lead?????

they'll just pretend the Sox didnt play this weekend

They will say David Ortiz comes off the DL on blah blah blah

hudler is hyperventilating right now
Haha, awesome

Keep us posted if he passes out

its better than listening to the espn bozos.
Awww Izzy.

Oh well.

bummer.... Gazoo gets K'd
But the damage is done...
K-Rod INCOMING.
This is the reason we need home-field advantage in the playoffs.
FRANKIE TIME

sweep in sight

Alright Frankie, let's do this
How many batters does Rodriguez walk before sitting down 3 in a row for the save?
2
Have some faith, he's due
i set the bar low

so then i’m pleasantly surprised when something awesome happens

are you kidding... its rehearsal time for frankie..... national TV... he's gonna be amped
here comes frankie.
OK OK...

Manny only comes up if the bases are loaded and there’s two outs…

DON'T SAY THAT. 0_0

Franky might hear you…

bottom of the order up.... i like that
We know the deal... Frankie may put 2 or 3 on

But he’s gonna get it done! RELAX!

Let's go Frankie!

Got my broom ready!

cmon FRankie.......

leadoff guy is important…....

Did Joe morgan say that?
Joe bashing on K-rod???

Come on Joe…

That might be the surest sign of a 1-2-3 inning
They REALLY want the Red Sox to come back here.
hometown broadcasters
Wow. They are really starting to root for the Sox.
it's what they do.
i hate coco for that catch he made yesterday.

that was sick.

not a COCO fan..but that was a sick catch
I need to pop open a beer for this.
K3 yer out !!!!
Sit down!

Nice try Coco, you knew that was strike 3

Sit your ass DOWN
How do you not swing?
Nice quote

Fastball….err….”near the outside corner”

too close to watch it
Have a nice..... long .... walk

back to the dugout Coco

K-Rod: "What do you mean I have thirteen minutes to kill?"
I love that changeup
Love the change up

3 pitch closer…go figure!

Miller just used the S-word

sweep!

Somebody tell that fat=ass to shut up
I can hear the sportscenter broadcast now

“In other news the Red sox played a late season Pre-Season exhibition game against the Angels. Even though they were swept it wont count in the standings”

but David Ortiz did THIS in AAA

he’s SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good!

or they'll just outright ignore this and talk about how well ortiz is recuping.
Nice 2-1-3 strikeout
What just happened?!?

hahahahahah nice KRod!

K # 2 !!! nice play by krod too to get that loose ball
nice...play K
K-Rod gets two outs

with one K!

Wow -- a K 1-3

In the parlance of Chowder Country, wicked!

Queuing up the music....
Does anyone else that that play just gave A's fans

about 2 months of ammo for the Angels being lucky?
