Panther of the Game: Garret Anderson
Where it began, I can't begin to know when
But then I know it's growing strong
Oh, wasn't the spring, whooo
And spring became the summer
Who'd believe you'd come along
Hands, touching hands, reaching out
Touching me, touching you
Oh, sweet Caroline
Good times never seem so good
I've been inclined to believe it never would
And now I, I look at the night, whooo
And it don't seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two, oh
And when I hurt
Hurting runs off my shoulder
How can I hurt when holding you
Oh, one, touching one, reaching out
Touching me, touching you
Oh, sweet Caroline
Good times never seem so good
Oh I've been inclined to believe it never would
Ohhh, sweet Caroline, good times never seem so good

First sweep at Fenway since 1962.
Nice job Halos!
TheOptimist - July 30, 2008
i think they said
first sweep in fenway since 2001. the 1962 was talking about something else? idk.

Blue Smoke
And, besides the new guy, now leads the team in RBI’s. Yes, more than Vlad and Hunter.
2- Saunders
vladtheimpaler - July 30, 2008
where did "blue smoke" originate from?
damnit i hate when i miss the birth of these nicknames!
SCHalo - July 30, 2008
Torii had a quote about him
something about a jet pack with blue smoke spewing out of it. GA was going for a grab in left center I think.
hauldog - July 30, 2008
“I was playing [Mora] so far over and [Garret] looked at me like, ‘You gonna get it?’ ” Hunter said. “I’m like, ‘No.’ We were looking at each other, talking with our eyes. I was shading him over to right-center. Garret had jets up his [back]. I saw blue smoke coming out. It was pretty sweet.”
Funke5ive - July 30, 2008
Thank you I have no idea where to find that
hauldog - July 30, 2008
200 saves this year
That seemed impossible at the beginning of the year.
hauldog - July 30, 2008
Do not know how this got here it was meant for stirrups below.
hauldog - July 30, 2008
With the randomness of Torii's quote, however,
it’s more fun up here!
Stirrups - July 30, 2008
From this Fanshot
Why we all love Torii
red floyd - July 30, 2008
I just read the fanshot again, looks like highlandhalo can see into the future
” Blue Smoke baby I have a feeling GA is gonna be swinging some sweet timber in Beantown and the Bronx. Or as they say in Beantown, "More Than A Feeling" ” highlandhalo
vladtheimpaler - July 31, 2008
thanks fellas!
so now i know of Side Salad, Blue Smoke, Soth, Gazoo, Hula Dula, It’s a Trap….can’t think of any more.
SCHalo - July 31, 2008
Big GA had himself a NIGHT.
Man, it doesn’t get any better than this. Last time we swept Boston in Boston? 1962. Last 8 game winning streak? 1962.
The Los Angeles Angels have truly returned at last.
Zu Long - July 30, 2008
8 game winning streak- vs Boston I should say.
Zu Long - July 30, 2008
longest in how long???
halofan4life - July 30, 2008
nevermind, i read your WHOLE post this time
halofan4life - July 30, 2008
Beautiful
Just beautiful!
Los Angeles de Anaheim - July 30, 2008

Heh.

But fun none the less

It’s actually a pretty cool little flash.

The Violence, the anger
But the baby in the wood chipper was pretty funny.
vladtheimpaler - July 30, 2008
that was...
the most disturbing thing i have ever seen, and i have never laughed so hard
halofan4life - July 30, 2008
The best part is easily the song though.
Zu Long - July 30, 2008
i agree
halofan4life - July 30, 2008
PANTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to Halos Baseball, Marky Mark
GA = Panther.

Stirrups - July 30, 2008
Panther!
SCHalo - July 30, 2008
That text in your signature
is priceless. But at least he did get a panther of the year award here.
Neo8234 - July 30, 2008
This is true. And I am willing to acknowledge that someday,
once this place does a better job of sharing the game-to-game love for Frankie. Although, with Tex on board, there is a good chance that the raw quantity of save opportunities just took a nose dive.
Stirrups - July 30, 2008
Tied with Carrasco that is awseome.
hauldog - July 30, 2008
Odds are...
With Frankie Panthers being so rare, and Frankie probably departing this offseason, that tie with Carrasco will be our enduring legacy as Halo fans while he tracks a career into the HOF as the greatest closer in the history of the game.
Stirrups - July 30, 2008
Sad, but maybe true
vladtheimpaler - July 31, 2008
200 career saves this year
That seemed impossible at the beginning of the year
hauldog - July 30, 2008
54 saves in a season has been done before though.
Given the state of our offense and pitching, I actually suspected he might make a run at it.
Of course, I never dreamed he’d be within 10 before we ever hit August…
Zu Long - July 31, 2008
The team has been kind with the save opps as of late
blown leads etc.
I am pumped for Frankie.
hauldog - July 31, 2008
I'd like a thank you letter form Troy, Joe, and the Rays
that was sweet.
Carl Johnson - July 30, 2008
feels good
real good
UCIHalo - July 30, 2008
Going to do it...
All I can say at this point is…wait for it…FUCK YEAH!!
Good times never felt so good…
Big Easy Halofan - July 30, 2008
Oooooooooo - that's a scary, scary Win Pic
Theo looks like he could blend in with those hillbilly creeps from “Deliverance”.
GA all the way as PotG.
Special props to Hunter; he played a terrific CF tonight.
Fan Since 1981 - July 30, 2008
i feel all giddy inside.
what a great series.
retrohalo - July 30, 2008
Ha. Love the Win pic.
Love killing Boston more though. I think i’m going to use my F bomb too.
Fuck yeah!
Mayheminthehood - July 30, 2008
Also, Deadspin referred to the Angels today as "Anaheim/Los Angeles/Our Overlords"
That felt nice.

Sweep Caroline II: Electric Boogaloo
swiss mcgee - July 30, 2008
How Sweep It Is!
KingF15h - July 30, 2008
Absolutely AWESOME!
infant - July 30, 2008
FUCK YEAH!
Being that my hatred for the sux nation runs deep, my F-Bomb needed to be uncorked like a 1920 wine on a special occasion. = )
Halofanatic - July 30, 2008
I can't even express how stoked I am right now.
I feel like a little kid. All year I have been arguing with my friends (Angel fans) that as important as is it for us to win it all, I really wanted them to do so by smearing the Sux in the process. They all said we couldn’t beat them, and that bummed me out how little faith they all had.
But this feels good. Not just obliterating them, but being proven right that we could dominate. There’s a lot of Ball left I realize, but this feels special.
Red114 - July 30, 2008
Honorable Mention Panther: Manny Ramirez
For his salvo against his employer. Where Manny goes, so goes the season. Buh-bye, Red Sox Nation.
PieceOfAase - July 30, 2008
NOW THAT WAS FUN!
I really enjoyed my Fenway Park experience! Blows Skankee stadium out of the water! Lots of fellow Angel fans flying the colors. Absolutely loved it! Gorgeous weather, women, and atmosphere! Only complaint was $7.50 for Budweiser kind of sucked. Could not find too many Sam Adams in the park! I don’t mind paying that for good beer, but Buttwiper? Ugh!
Anyway, I HIGHLY recommend Fenway park for a great baseball experience! As for Yankee stadium, wait til next year when the new park opens! Yankee stadium is a pit, hole, dive, insert adjective here…fans were fun to watch and very loud…NYC is definitely the BIG stage and has the aura, but…wait til next year!
Angels silenced the Fenway faithful! :) Broomage!
K3YEROUT - July 30, 2008
7.50 for a Bud, eh?
Arte spoils us.
Zoe Necrosis - July 30, 2008
I am going to the Angels series next year
hauldog - July 30, 2008
Wait. "Gorgeous...women"?
You gotta thing for mustaches and mullets?
Stirrups - July 30, 2008
On the broadcast...
there were quite a few “front-row honeys” at Fenway last night…
Downing Rules - July 31, 2008
Hey Boston,
Scoscia wants to know how his chowda tastes…

HA HA!
I say we have a new nick-name for the Skipper.
Scuff - July 30, 2008
After tonight
I doubt you’ll catch me calling GA lazy. Not after seeing Manny no so much chase after balls as pout after them. So yeah, I second PoA on that one.
Physioc doesn’t tend to manifest anything except annoyance for Hud’s exuberance, except this evening while they were discussing Manny’s comment of “they don’t deserve me,” to which Steve said “how dare he?!”
Gotta love it.
(I want to state for the record, however, that I prefer Phyz and Hud to Goobie and Rory, since they tend to get bored and start going off on tangents completely non-germane to the Halos. At least with Phyz and Hud it’s like listening to Laurel and Hardy or the Smothers Brothers.)
Zoe Necrosis - July 30, 2008
I got really sick of Rory describing how Soth always has his game face on........
“Whether we are four runs behind or six runs ahead he never shows his emotions during a game, blah, blah, blah”, every game this series.
44FAN - July 30, 2008
I love Rory and Gubie
I think they’ve developed a good rapport, and some funny schtick, especially when doing the in-game promos of upcoming stadium giveaways. Tonight’s comments on the reversible floppy hat really had me rolling.
But then, I was already pretty giddy by that point anyway.
rspencer - July 31, 2008
I can tell (you were giddy).
44FAN - July 31, 2008
Speechless....
did the Angels really just sweep the Red Sox? Wow.
Bangup job by Saunders. Amazing that this fellow has FOURTEEN wins. Unreal.
Downing Rules - July 30, 2008
So, over or under 8.5 wins after the break.
I’ll bet you took under.
vladtheimpaler - July 31, 2008
we just got some HUGE props from the four lettered network.
that’s right, ESPN just showed our highlights under the caption “Owning the Red Sox”.
they went on and on about how great our offense was and how bad the Sawx were.
i think i had tears in my eyes.
howiestheman - July 30, 2008
Time to start shwocasing the Cubbies, I guess.
Stirrups - July 30, 2008
NOTICE, THOUGH...
they made NO MENTION of the Youkilis error… I guessed that omission would happen right after i saw the play.
Downing Rules - July 31, 2008
Got to love that song is about a girl who was 15 at the time................................................
hauldog - July 30, 2008
But being a Mass girl, she already has failed the art of birth control once or twice.
Stirrups - July 30, 2008
Two disappearance questions
Anybody know what happened to the missing umpire (though he did come back)—maybe nature called?
Does ANYBODY know what Manny does when he goes into the scoreboard?
red floyd - July 30, 2008
Something to do with washrags.
Stirrups - July 31, 2008
At first glance....
I thought “why is Sinead O’Connor in the WIN pic with a broom?”
Downing Rules - July 31, 2008
NOTHING COMPARES
to broom

They've only got a pixelated Theo getting broomed to look forward to
