*is staying silent for reasons that if not obvious should be*
weird is the understatement of the year
Boston Diet Slimming Tea Party Thread...
Here we go 8th inning.
This has been a very WEIRD TWO days...........

Let’s keep this great stuff going our beloved ANGELS!

The second player going to Atlanta, Double-A right-hander Stephen Marek, has a live arm attached to a bad body

im going to use that to describe myself from now on… a live arm attached to a bad body

A live head attached to a dead body...

would better summarize me.

i'm struggling to find any live bits
Varitek's old but his wife is kinda cute.

FYI.

kim basinger cute?
Wife's mad cuz I'm eating dinner in the living room...

sorry babe

Eat out more often.
WOW
yeah, what does...

“swinging strike (blocked)” mean? That must.ve been close.

Means the catcher dropped it. Even if he reaches base it doesn't count as a hit.
am i really watching this right now?
shhhh
i meant of course the angels winning :oP
Does he go out for the 9th?
huh, you found the new thread

foiled, rev

I don't know, I send out K-Rod.
cmon dude... speier and THEN krod... for a save situation.. use your head :P
I'd bring in Marek right now.
O day needs the work.
does a bear shit in the woods?
96 pitches... hell yea he goes out
okay, guys let's get more runs in the 9th
lets get some runs now boys...
I f'ing hate the red sawwx

Sorry, just have a to say it every 10 minutes or so.

breathing is fun
Dumb and Dumber line: "PILLS ARE GOOD"
lets go!!

big john woooooo

how sweet would this day be
shhh.

it has been sweet already with the tex trade.

Don't forget the Q triple!
Best part of the day by far.
really? they're bringing papelbon in?
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
This is fun...

watching the game with my ELEPHANT friend

Yes, but remember...

...he is your friend

little bitches
Hmm

That’s all

meh
my thoughts EXACTLY
But, would you kick her out of bed?
GA would, if he wasn't so lazy
Doesn't do her justice.

I just remember her being fun to watch on the Queer Eye episode. Maybe she hasn’t aged well.

ridiculous post I must say
oh, cause shhhhhhhh is better?
Let's Go Halos!
Mark Texeira traded to halos--discuss (or anything else)
LETS GO HALOS!!!!!!!
Rob Wilfong was a badass in his day
Where'd that come from?

I always dug his flip down shades

*Trying to change topic

Best Angel bunter ever?

Yes, where did that Rob Wilfong reference come from?

im stuck watching Remy and the Chowds on NESN

It came from talking about anything else...

blue smoke … right outta left field.

Dude, Rex should know better
I was more of a Rick Burleson guy myself...

hated Butch Hobson, of course, coz how could that guy fill Carney’s shoes?

Match Day 5-

Care to defend?

shut up rex. talk about the trade please
MUTE him.
he handles a ball all 24 hours of the day...
Any defensive changes for the ninth?

Maybe GMJ in right?

no

Don’t screw with what’s going on.

Buckner at first
Hey UK...

I think your sig is funny, but he says “Veeektor”.

What do we discuss now???

Weather anyone? Earthquakes?

Discuss anything but basically.
I hate the "America Runs on Dunkin" commercials

you can’t find it out west

I heard Mark Teixeira got traded to our team today

Other than that, the weather in Inverness is cloudy and it is expected to rain tomorrow. My wife and son are coming home tomorrow from a 12-day holiday.

So you really are in the highlands, eh?

My wife love’s the Scots

Or 'the back end of beyond' as it's also known
every man dies, but not every man truely lives
Worst Scottish accent of all time
Didja hear GA is DH'ing?
50 YEARS AS ANGELS FAN AND THIS WEIRD!!!
SSHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I KNOW, I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just checking, my fine Halo brother.
Papelbon: Well, everyone else has been lit up by these guys.

Guess I might as well too.

"good (on?) paper" in French...
Question

Fresno State Bulldogs winning the College World Series. Best underdog story ever?

(i was born and raised in fresno)

That's quite good. Proud of them as a former member of the Big West Conference
wow.. big west. havent heard about them in years
Definatley up there
Are you related to Rex Hudler?

Isn’t he a Free-snonian?

The best underdog story ever is CLEARLY the 2002 Angels.

A bunch of nobodies (national media wise) vs the best hitter ever.

are they just trying to get papsmear some work or something ?
yeah, i think he hasn't pitched in about a week
little bitches
title town was b.s.
lol VALDOSTA?!?
That whole thing pissed me off

what right does ESPN have deciding what town in Titletown?? It is and always will be Green Bay

I still don't get

what the point of that was all about.
Just as pointless as the “Who’s Now” thing

Utter lack of programming
who won it anyways?

i dont watch sportscenter

I just got home...

And I cannot stand watching the Angels bat right now. My wife is scarred of me

The Bib Papsmear and Papel Douche
Omg....let's go HALOS!!!!!
more runs, please
No more runs please, we need to get our pitcher back out there to finish this W off
so can anyone suggest any movies besides dark night
did you see Iron Man?
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes won some award, methinks.
HAHAHA. A classic if there ever was one!
Saving Private Ryan

Good guys win in that one.

Or the Unforgiven.

Or Shawshank Redemption.

Wall-E is really good.
I'm an X-Files fan but it was just okay
i wasnt impressed either.

and im a big xfiles guy

I like nail files...

especially after biting them all night.

Wanted

Angelina Jolie

Taken

IVF twins with Brad Pitt. Like he couldn’t get it up for her????

I just watched "Timecop" with Jean Claude Van Damme

Apparently in the year 2004 we’ll have lazer guns, cars that drive themselves and the ability to time travel

What is the "Muscles from Brussels" up to these days?
Prolly shriveled from too many roids.
Did you know?

That on this day in 1980, the island nation of Vanuatu gained its independence?

Go Vanuatu!!!!

Seriously? That's great. I'm really proud of them.
goodf job i am sure they deserved it
But...

did they EVER trade for Mark Teixeira?

i can't

I can’t even speak right now, it’s nervous time.

that quentin tarintino flick looks sick
Ugh!

I can’t stand the anticipation of…....Mark Texiera coming….

iron man was cool...not a comic book guy but really liked it
Reply button failure.

Talk about it with your family. Be prepared.

mathis is battling... good AB
Jeff Mathis is NOT GOING QUIETLY.
Someone tell him to hurry up
And get around the bases on his homerun trot...

wishful thinking.

How are peanut sales these days, Hawk?

Down from last year a bit...

but otherwise still very good.

I wonder if Tex's plane has arrived yet?
Comeon Mathis

bounce one of Papeldork’s forehead

tire Papelbon out for tommorow's game
It's interesting

They are giving Papelbon the work because they can’t see him getting a save in this series

probably going to a hotel
name your favorite band...descendents
pavement, the clash, the pogues
Counting Crows
my fav stoney band
Aztec Camera, Trash Can Sinatras, The Smiths, The Who
Second the Smiths
I THINK I JUST CAME!!!!!
You're not sure?
Check your shorts, hapy
is it a male or female orange?
Also, on this day in 1975, Jimmy Hoffa disappeared ...

Never to be seen again.

Im off to the TV

I hope ESPN airs the 9th…

What's happening in the 9th? I thought we were ahead
They were still showing Poker last I saw.

Let’s go John!

NESN did not go to a commerical
Boo. No insurance.

Welp, Mikes giving John the ball in the ninth. Not sure I like it, John’s arm needs rest. But Mike knows what he’s doing, I guess.

guess so. only 3 outs for the win
I think this is a statement game for Lackey
really?

you’d take him out right now?

Don't want to burn him out with the playoffs and stuff coming up

Take him out.

O'Day has things he could work on. 6 run lead?

Let him get some work in.

Let's go, Lack
nice change of tone.

;)

I hate it

When Mike doesn’t stick to a plan

A-Team quote...

I love it when a plan comes together…

can I have copyrights on the 2009 Angels baseball motto?

F**** THEM UP LACK
One.
good song by metallica...

A;SIOGUDOT; QWEJNDKLAGVNUY1

I hate

Fanboy Pedroia

The pride of Woodland...

where your phone number starts with 666-xxxx

Okay, bring on Frankie
Well, at least it wasnt that fucking twat Youkilis
That's just as bad
John FREAKIN' Lackey folks
Hows that for a dead arm???
fuuuuuuuuuuk
easy there, jesus...

they are still up 6 nil.

Ok John

Deep Breath

Nice try, Lackey!

Way to keep it under wraps here, too, HH’ers! Only two people tried to foil it and they were not the cause. It’s all good.

okay

shows over you can go get him now.

It's over johnny!
Save situation setup time?
thats a bummer

but great outing by big John

OK, now lets just save the SO

Lack made a statement tonight

Two outs away!!!!
Welp, start warmin' up Franky.
Hanging slurve

Just about on a tee.

John at 105 pitches
DANG IT!

WHY GOD WHY?!

I think...

my friend the ELEPHANT just sat on me

When did we start playing the A's?
my friend is that big elephant in the room no one wants to talk about
oh well go the distance big john
Kotchman would have had that. Just kidding. 'Natch
Awesome effort tonight from the Big Fella
Nice effort big John
Red sox fans are proud of their effort tonight!
Now it's all about winning.

Just get two more outs.

Get Franky in there now

Lets pad his stats some more

Can't pad without another run or two men on.
need another run to make it a save
Good job by everyone tyring to keep things quiet
That was pretty decent.
Agreed. That was excellent comportment by everyone. I'm proud of this community.
Physioc jinxed it after 8 innings
Rory Markus has been saying it since the seventh.
It's on the Angels home page
and we didnt attack each other personally
sorry

I was busy :)

yea i blame fsn thats all they were talking about for the past three innings
So Close!

Great Job Big John!

Panther - Big John

With an honorable mention to Casey Kotchman!

Let's get the W
Big Poppy

pops up.

TWO.

Oh, I thought the ONE's above meant one left...

jeez, I thought he was one out away from a no-no.

one more, Big John
I like

How everyone looks disappointed in the Angel’s dugout

great job lackey we own the sox this year
Reminds me of that night in Texas last year where John got 8 1/3

then gave up 3 runs.

THIS IS LACKEY'S NIGHT
Can we trade Kotch every day?
this day has been absolutely

AMAZING!

no hitter or not, i’m SO excited.

Can we just hit Ortiz now?

That would make me very happy

I'd rather wait

for Manny.

I hate Ortiz...

but that wouldn’t be cool. let’s just get him out.

cmon get the complete game
Let's not lose sight of the fact

we are pissing on the Red Sox yet again

Exactly

They will be that much more determined to whup us in the postseason.

But how sweet will it be when their efforts are deemed fruitless.
are you ever happy?
when the Angels can manage to simultaneously WIN and LOSE at the same time.
I used to think he was just down on the Angels

until I read a blog post of his basically saying that all civilization is doomed.

well it is

isnt it?

how to know if you lived through 1995

i had to check the a’s/texas scores

and to see if discarcina is healthy
Pedroia can eat the whatever out of my s---t

Quote from Full Metal Jacket

confidence boost up the wazoo
Rev's going to be busy tonight, I suspect...

...rarely have we had so much going on on one day

Big day, big day
lets go big john no more bugaboo for you
Reagins and this year's model are going to be on the post-game show.
It's a save now isn't it?
Tying run has to be in the on-deck circle.
But if you're 3 ahead it's a save
Right...and the angels are up by four.
One more baserunner.
Nah, need 1 more baserunner.
Uh, I think they need one more base runner.

I will have to check on that, though.

Lackey

Finish Him!

117 pitches

One batter more and he’s over.

and only 2 bad pitches so far.
As Manny struts to first base

Twat

I saw that too
Just 1 more out, John.
One more baserunner away from

FRANKIE TIME

i just want the game too end
Man

Lackey’s curve is just awesome tonight!

maybe he can rip pedroias spine out
LIGHT UP THE CHOWDA!
CG!! LIGHT IT UP!!! **A**
Great game Johnny
Manny

No where in the frame on that force out

LIGHT IT UP!

let’s get the sweep tomorrow!

Light it Up!!!!
very, very special win, light it up
F-Yeah

Way to go big John.

Message sent.

Just another HALO victory.

Complete game victory, John Lackey!
what a night, what a day.

light it up!

LIGHT 'ER UP!

Great try, John.

sweeeep tomorow!!
time to cue up sweet caroline.

the “give teixeira a nickname game” starts tommorow

WAY TO GO LACKEY

7 IP 3 ER last week and 9 IP 2 ER tonight against bosox… major boost of confidence!

Big Game John Lackey!

Seven in a row!

Light it up!

And here comes Tex

Panther goes to Q for the Triple!
Huh?

The sssssshhhhhhh phase is over. Panther is Lackey, all the way.

So much for the Red Sox own Lackey.

Way to go Thunder Mountain, coming up aces in a big way.

PANTHER TIME -- Let me guess...uh Lackey?
Kotch gets ceremonial Panther
does Quinlan get the Panther?

i mean, the only thing more rare than a no-hitter is a triple by Quinlan

Lackey's just doing his JOB!
ney.

a triple by kotch would have been a sight to see

Not in an Angels uniform, we shall not see that
One day, maybe. Just no time soon...
What is it about the Angels and big Texas pitchers?
They go into the hall in a Rangers hat

ass. I will never forgive Ryan for that!

Blame Buzzie Bavasi for that one

He never really understood free agency.

7-1 vs. Red Sox
John is neat!
What's the neat meme about?
Panther John.

Panther

Wow.

Busy day Rev? ... Holy sheezit what a day. I thought Lackey had that no-no pinned down.

So you're the ONE! Bartman lookout! highland halo has been outed!
All he had to do was get Pedroia and Youkilis

I’ve not been outed at all … I was the one saying shhhhhh to everyone else all night long twit

No sense in trying to deny it now... Your sentiments are Tooo Late!
To be honest toast, I don't know what the fuck you're talking about and I'm too tired to care

I wanted Lackey to get the no-hitter. I’m happy with the win, and the series win over the Sox. I’m happy with the Teixeira trade.

If you want to talk about something else, talk about it somewhere else.

Good night all...

...will look forward to the analysis tomorrow with my breakfast (in about 5 hours). It’s been a wild one.

See you all tomorrow, same bat time, same bat channel.

(probably a different joker though).

Peace mate

Clink!

is the game over?

with the quake and the trade, i’m kinda lost. did tex play today? did lackey get a no-hit shut out?

oh yeah, and ceremonial panther to kotch.
