Picks

Yes
Yes
Yes

anyone else having problems with the stream?
makes you wonder why rory bashed so much around here

recognized by his peers for his good work. i’ve always enjoyed his play by play.

rory bashed?

i dont think i’ve ever seen that here

happened more during the season

but physioc definitely seems more divisive at least.

for sure

although i don’t really understand the phyzz hate either… to each his own, i guess.

picks

yes
no
yes

I predict rev steals the show ;)

nothing more exciting than Laker talk.
Way to start off the show

a bunch of nacho munching Lakers fans. How will Rev Halofan follow this?

Is there hatred for the Lakers in this room?

Or hatred for Lakers talk? I hate the latter because it seems thats all that LA sports talk radio talks about anymore, and with the fox sports buyout i expect it even more.

But I could see how it could be difficult to fill 3 hours of broadcast with strictly Angels coverage when spring training hasnt even started yet.

The air kind of went out of Angels talk after the Teixeira disappointment.
Not to mention Angels fans.
I honestly never expected Teix to resign

So not a huge disappointment for me. Knew it would always be the yankees or red sox. Until something changes in baseball, thats how its gonna be.

Ah the Super Bowl?

Is that this week? I havent heard this anywhere else.

Rev no likey

Vlad batting 2

No one should really likey
besides Mel, anyway
Happy Chinese New Year

did we sign a chinese pitcher?

does Rev know about the picks?

MENTION TEX!!!!

Tex ftw?

Or the ftl? I dont know anymore.

Shoutout

Already mentioned this thread…!!!

Would we be having the inverse discussion if Sean Rodriguez had a terrible postseason?

Hindsight is always 20-20. You go with your go-to-guys in the playoffs.

agreed 1000000%

on Woody

I think the Tex guess is a no.
he probably did it on purpose
Rev's big on Wood

ha!
okay, sorry i had to.

and what’s wrong with Torii batting 2nd?

Thank god no platooning.
Ah yes, the rotating DH

Do any other teams do that as much?

A lot of teams have a full-time DH

I think the Angels should go that way again.

Ugh Steve Finely
I knew Rev would start speculating about the bad economy and how it

could affect baseball.

I'm tired of you already.
hahahaha
Did this schmuck just chuckle at Rev??
he knows not

to whom he speaks

yes

I dont think he knows of the site.

But Speier sucks at pitching.
Figgy=Trade Bait
amen.

but only when the Black Hole (aka GMJ) comes back in May

"Other teams would kill to have him"
Wood, Morales, and S-Rod are going to have huge seasons

Welcome…to Fantasy Island!

That guy's optimism was annoying.
But he talked to Jeff last season!
Woody is due for a break-out or bust. I like to think positively.

But no one knows for sure.

K-Mo with at least Kotch like numbers, which arent great, would be fine.

S-Rod will be warming the bench.

As well as you could...if not better.

Oog.

Dammit!

Every time Rev mentions the economy I have to take a shot.

getting buzzed yet?
I'll leshoo kno
Was there more than one? I must've tuned out others.
Ypu will know when the economy is bad when Arte Moreno has to start passing

out hot dogs to fans rather than trying to sell them.

Soooo...if youre calling in, let everyone know?
that was the way it worked

last time.

Calling in...

Regarding Joe Saunders

that commercial

was HORRIBLE. and ridiculous

good thing I TIVO'ed the show and can just fast forward
nice

Clipper talk.

Kengie Morales?
give the guy a break

he’s clearly nervous about speaking with the Rev

had to be YWC
isn't he supposed to be Darby?

or is that you?

he's Darby, and I'm Sid on hold

i think cupie might’ve chickened out this time

brother to kadier Morales
Cousin of Bendry Molina
and theres the tex reference
David Beckham is

playing on loan. Maybe that’ll come up.

I'd like to talk about the Clippers and the Celtics...
Wow!! Nice pull.
how many goals does Landycakes have with Bayern?
alot

im pretty sure

Rivera might have to bat around 6th for a while

Maybe work his way up.

i'm sure we'll see that
and there's lackey41!!
lackey41 on

about saunders?

Here comes the Saunders question....

Go Lackey!

We can't afford to trade any starting pitchers!
did we learn nothing from this past season?
I learned Jon Garland is not that good a pitcher really.
it could've been MUCH worse

i.e. Moseley or Adenhart for a full year

I hope Rev's forecast of Lackey jersey retirement is true
Dang

They cut me off and I wasn’t done talking.

thats radio for you
yeah i had that happen last time

the Rev is a tad long-winded

Nice job, brother.
D-Train

I was going to mention that we should trade him while his value is high, saying I hope he doesn’t become Dontrelle Willis.

Can we trade Rev. Halofan and keep Lackey?
He's signed for life like Soth.
Heck no!

Give Rev a long term deal and trade Gubicza.

i like Rev's blog better than Lackey's
As long as Rex Hudler is untouchable
I'll probably boo Teixiera
No. Question.

I’m booing him right now.

me too

if i’m at a game

Hell, I boo him in my sleep

Speaking of emotional, somebody call in and plead for GA to return and see what Rev says
hahahahaha

that would be amazing.

ahhhhmazzziiinng
Please no Adam Dunn

let’s not even talk about it.

Please!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great job, Rev...

…but I gotta study now. Ark out.

Sid

is coming up. Can’t wait.

way to NOT call in, Darby

no pride.

yeah

what he said

darby is in the studio working on his remix of maniamal
that would've been a fun drinking game

every mention of Teixeira

We should get a bigger egg basket
Oh wow

Unprompted GA mention.

still a fresh wound

Despite logistically and financially the reasons for letting him go are sound/

Oakland is getting crowded.
Rev, Fontana reference...

priceless

Teixeira made his slow start in the playoffs.
yeah that 1.000+ OPS

sucked.

But but but we still lost in the ALDS with him, so that means he made no difference.
Which is why we should have snatched Holliday before the A's did.
average outside of Coors

at best, maybe barely above average.

Nice Hitler reference...
Nooooooooo!

The dreaded Adam dunn reference

Hitler vids get the nod

gotta love it.

Good way to start a national scandal on HH

here come the ALCU

lol

for anyone not on here, that had to be a little creepy

Yeah....

They’re funny. But not advertise to the world funny.

Yeah, I haven't returned a phone call because of them.
massacre=dunn
power equals Dunn

if Vlad didn’t have to DH, i think we’d have gone after him.

Dunn the DH?
eliminates awful fielding
Please for the love of the baby Jesus, no Dunn
I dont wanna piss off baby jesus
agreed

I don’t get the man crush some of the peeps on this site have with Adam Dunn.

World economy...drink.
sos dunk ight ow
Jesus Manny holidng out for a 4 year deal?

Does he plan to die in his uniform?

Conspiracy theory:

Reagins and Moreno never went to Las Vegas.

Weren't they seen on camera?

I actually dont know. Just guessing.

They got confused and went to Laughlin
which is always better than Jackpot
cool, a Jackpot, NV reference on HH
you live around there?
I'm in Idaho, Jackpot is senior citizen gambling heaven around here!
right

i think we’ve had this conversation before… or at least one about Idaho. i can never remember

did you go to school at BSU?
yup that was me
I remember seeing another poster from Idaho on HH's web meter, or whatever you call it

a couple of years ago that is.

Ned Colletti

got stuck in Jean, NV

Mat doing Math

weird

The Boy King
no follow-up for me

that’s radio for ya

At least you prop'd the Pharoah
Is Izzy>Figgy?
has Izzy ever played 150+ games?

hard to compare

Wait...

That guys said exactly what I said…except for more condensed

you're his hero
Well,

At least i can be a role model for someone

The Wrap-It-Up-Box
but but but

Michael Young won the gold glove. he’s teh bestest evah FTW!!!!

Viagra and Cialis with a huge discount?!

what? where? :P

"Huge" being the key word.
See...

The cleverness from the Hitler videos finally comes out in posts.

I truly hope the Hitler videos...

aren’t my legacy.

I think you are doomed then...

They were just to damn funny.

It may get you on the "Today" show.
don't think about the Hitler part of it

think more about the humor… those were really effing funny

you get what you pay for

“huge discount” doesn’t seem to promise much

adjusted for inflation

Not that you would wish that on the world economy.

But these ads promise increased "confidence"

Maybe thats what we need?

Maybe...

Rev personally requested for that Viagra/Cialis ad to appear.

who ignores the signs of a stroke?!

WTH???

Peter Griffin
stroke! stroke! stroke!
A power stroke I hope
woops got it backwards
lol

i figured you meant me

The Stroke?

BILLY SQUIRE

The Strokes?

What happened to those guys?

Still around unfortunately

They should have just broke up after Is This It?

Stop mocking me
can't use a tanning salon, either
Hammer Rev

Making Mooves

Can’t touch this

Economy!

another shot

Peavy, there is still the slimmest of chances.
I was going to go on and say

Peavy! K-Rod! Dunn! Tex!

Just for kicks, but I decided to be tasteful

pitching is not the Angels' problem

Tons of questions in the lineup, though. Howie? Hopefully. Wood? Maybe. Morales? Perhaps. Aybar? Who knows.

Who is going to provide power? Napoli? Rivera? Morales? I’d love to see it, but it’s clearly risky.

The point is, the Angels don’t have a reliable, proven hitter beyond Vlad and Torii.

another question for you

How many teams have reliable proven hitters though?

i'm not talking 1-9

i think we need at least one more. two would be better

Napoli, but you know they will split him with Mathis so he probably won't

play that much more than last year.

SID

why so negative?

i'm pissed you didn't call in
i am still on hold
Nice Katrina refrence
hey, Seitz got the reference!
Finally I can stop listening.

Sheesh, it took long enough.

what is up with UCLA this year?
They're not very good

Thankfully, the Illini are pretty good this year, and exceeding expectations.

Young, small
that's what she said...
why can't we get the boards...

i understand the lack of offense, but the boards?

No size

A little height, but no one is really big outside of Aboya and Bobo. Gordon will be a good rebounder though.

Lost top 4 rebounders to draft and graduation (Mata, Love, Luc, Westbrook)

Nikola is a good scorer but terrible rebounder. And Keefe grabs the boards but doesnt score well at all. Aboya also isnt too great on the boards. Theres just no one there.

fair enough

still disappointing.

who's a better rebounder, Aybar or Izturis?
neither guy went to Pepperdine Wayne
and when did you go to UCLA?
I had to find some primary sources from their library and that Alarm concert
When the season starts, we should start a new meme,

“Who’s going to break out?”
“Is he breaking out?”
“It’s time for somebody to break out!”
“He hit a homerun, he’s breaking out!”

Economy

take a shot

World economy, drink.
I'll take my entitlement thank you
rev, don't make excuses for this year

season hasn’t started yet

Thank you Rev for making this diatribe against the whiny Angel culture

But it comes with the winning i guess.

yes

There is a difference between high expectations and whininess

is that whitness?
"whitness"

is that short for “Walt Whitman”-ness?

"Limpid jets of love"

Does that mean what I think it does?

That depends

Are you thinking of Hitler when you think of that?

Nah, that was a Bull Durham reference

I’m surprised it was missed.

Are you thinking of Hitler now, it has to come eventually.

What has to come eventually?

A hitler reference.

You're kidding me right?
and apparently

we have a Constitution

Jeez

the Rev just can’t shake this guy loose

I bet

He will invite Rev to his house later…wants him around all the time.

Blog Rep ++++++++

WooHoo

hey

Biggsy loves us, too!

I could only catch the show for about five minutes

Shortly before and after lackey41. The impression I came away with is: Gee, the Rev is much nicer on the radio than he is on his blog :)

Great show

Got drunk though and had to leave early…woke up with the Economy dry heaves.
