Pitcher pitches one inning

gets panther.

Aybar with a two-RBI triple and a game saving double play in the 9th…

Come on, screw saves. Worthless stat.

Your mom is a worthless stat.
Ban please.

4. Being contentious with members of the community will get you BANNED without warning.

I think that's an obvious joke, though

Isn’t it?

Fight!

I thought it was funny, but I think any time someone uses a nonsensical “your mom..” is hilarious.

Not funny when the person you say it to has lost their mother to cancer

In fact now your asking for a serious azz wipping.

Your mom jokes only show how childish you are.

Its a ban!!

It was a joke sally sensitive.....

you r the kind of people who ruin a good time. Mom jokes are ment to lighten up the mood. I dont actually intend to make fun of his mother. Anyone who takes those jokes seriously needs to take their The Cure Cds and toss them away and stop watching Grey’s Anatomy and find them selves a sense of humor.

I CALL FOR A BAN!

Get rid of this azz clown!

your momma jokes have no place here!!!!!!!

This is one of those instances in which you're being either you're really funny or way too serious.

Damn internet.

Spoken like someone who insults another person's mother

How can you say “I don’t actually intend to make fun of his mother” yet you started of the asinine remark with “Your”. What was the intention? Disparaging comments of family loved ones by someone is only funny to those that have not been the effected.
Find it hard to believe that the comment made would lighten up the mood if your saying it to another person who has lost their mother. Pure case of someone that does not think before speaking or has an education of ant.

your mom is a worthless stat is hardly offensive

Everyone needs to bleeping lighten up

Christ is this site part of the Christian Family online network?

Ban Please

12. Calling for fights or sexy mud wrestling contests between two members will get you AIDS without warning.

C'mon.

Your mom jokes are never to be taken seriously.

Your mom is a joke. Seriously! :p
Ban Please

Your mom is a ban pleas 4. being contentious with members of the community will get you BANNED without warning!
If GA wasn't so lazy

He’d make a “yo mamma” joke.

Ban Please

8. Calling GA lazy to or with members of the community will get you BANNED without warning.

If you'll look at my posts

I’m a very big GA fan. To me, the “GA lazy” bit is just a running gag at this point.

Ban this! (Grabs his Crotch)

I made a joke to show how ridiculous your statement was. You didn’t provide any evidence or reasoning to why saves are worthless. So you want me banned because I made your statement look like a joke? Now that I think about it this conversation isn’t worth my time.

no he is making a statement that you should be banned for

“being contentious with members of THIS community!” you should be banned! learn a lesson!

Frankie all the way

After so many bullpen failures the past week, this one has to go to Frankie.

I thought panther was for excellence.

But apparently its for not-sucking now.

The way the last week has been going, not-sucking IS excellence.
panther goes to HH for sticking with that game
On behalf of the group and myself...

…I hope we passed the audition.

Gotta be Frankie

The Angels really needed this win, and we needed a stopper. Frankie was it tonight.

No love for Figgy?

2 – 4, BB, SB, RBI, and that slide in the 9th to ensure no potential for a DP!

Fangraphs

Figgy=Panther, mostly for his third-inning double.

With your 2009 closer

Nearly blowing the game, K-Rod was a breath of fresh air.

You mean the guy who tossed 1 2/3 innings out of the pen because F-Rod can't won't or isn't allowed?

Panther goes to Figgins

GA at-bat in the 9th was a hit, correct?

I had to leave for a short time, the Gameday play by play says it was an error but the postgame show say it was a hit as does the Gameday box score.

They changed a few times. Final call - hit.
They scored it a hit a little bit later on.
thanks both sothball and 44Fan and good for GA
That kept his hit streak alive...
just watched the replay and it was a real tough play, a hit
Yeah.

It could have gone either way. I think that explains why they flip-flopped like 3 times.

Hud made a joke about the scorer stepping away from his adult beverage.
I still say GA

Our winning the game virtually depended on that at-bat. He GIDPs or flies out, we remain tied and quite probably lose.

GA's hit

Was dribbling into the outfield. It would have been a close play at first, to be able to record the out.

GA for panther

I would have gone with Frankie had he been more dominant. However, that first hit was well struck and the double play ball could have easily been a hit as well. Time to give some love to GA for the hit streak too.

Frankie, since no clear cut new record gets it

I had to leave the thread in the bottom of the second to go back to work. Looks like it was another grinder. ’bout time for an Angel blowout.

Frankie being Frankie...

But the POTG should go to the Admiral.

Arrendondo: Not yet ready for prime time.

Games like these underscores the obvious: We need Frankie.

Arredondo: Still learning. Give the kid a chance before throwing the franchise at Frankie.
Arredondo will get good at it. He has'nt even played a full year yet.

If Frankie goes, I would favor having two guys capable at assuming the closer role but not necessarily exclusively closers. i think the Angels could benefit from an expanded and flexible bullpen next year.

We still need Frankie.

Arredondo still needs to mature before you place him in a critical role such as closing a game. And you cant judge a guy after less than a season before giving him a role such as closer. Shields is a great Set-up man but you need a guy to go in day in and day out and be able to get the job done. And the bullpen would have to be better before it can be flexible or expanded. Having Speier and Oliver aint cutting it. The Angels need better pitchers in the pen.

WORD (way up)!!!!!!
Fuentes?

He’s a free agent after this year, right?

I don’t trust handing the closer’s job—even on a split-time basis—to Shields.

Someone's signature needs to change

I think it’s Stirrups, but whoever has the signature about Frankie being tied with Carrasco for career panthers needs to make the change now. Hahaha. About time.

Yes, that would be me.

And yes, it HAS been done.

the swamp

should be panther for the potential of being a slump buster!!!!!

lets go HALOS!!!

Frankie..................Yawn

Aybar should get panther. he made two great plays and hit a 2 RBI triple were he busted ass out of the box. That is Angel baseball. Upton would have had a single on that hit.

Thanks again Tampa for making us play a night game

Again, if I was the Angels Tampa would red eying it out of Angel stadium for a few years.

ESPN, not Tampa.

They scheduled this for their Wednesday Night Special, so it had to be a night game.

What? ESPN is not open for business Wednesday afternoons?
And supercede Around the Horn or PTI?

Perish the thought! That only happens for REALLY IMPORTANT things. Like Golf.
