Robot Chicken Happy Ending

Yowza
Does that thing keep him from making the "screw you peasants" face??
Just get the last out Bulger.
It can't get any worse, can it?
bases loaded

and bulger do not make for a good combo

but imagine putting spier in...
no

as much as i liked the dude
no

Boy oh boy

making this to crazy with 2 outs.

Anytime you want to get that last out, Bulger.
this looks like Bulger from April...

please get him out

um..........

so did the red sox actually advance here?

Because I dont know this team in red playing right now.

McCarver wants to yank one
yeah

he is fighting with joe. too bad they are so small tim from all those steriods

is he thinking about a-rod?
Of all times to throw a strike

Nos

Should have brought in Palmer 2 batters ago.
Ugly, ugly game.
why doesnt he pull bulger?
Why the fuck is bulger still in!?!?!?!?
is it fitting that the Red Sox google ad just came up

We really need this out if we’re going to stay in this game.

We get Google ads? I had no idea. Adblock is fun.
Strrrriiiikkkkkeeeerssssss
Bases loaded for Bulger. This usually doesn't end well.
Here's my one F word of the month

Pull your head out of your fucking ass Bulger!

Get more than 1 in October.
ulimited in oct
Now you fucking tell me!
Strikes.

We can haz them now?

although there has been a lot of fail in this game

I still don’t think that’s cute.

Sorry.

I wasn’t feeling very original there, just annoyed.

We are all annoyed.

But Bulger did it.

you're fine

dont listen to jay cal

lol

well

you are no longer on my christmas list.

so what is the origin of your name...
Well, it's after Clint Barmes (as you probably figured)

I noticed one day that, when he has no head covering on, he looks like a REALLY PASTY WHITE version of Destro, from G.I. Joe. The “wildly hacking destroyer of rallies” part is obvious.

It rolled off the tongue better than “Paleface Skeletor” or some such.

LOL...funny stuff..

creative win..

Split screen times 1.5
Does Swisher look to the heavens before he sets up?

Or does he look at his ugly mug on the video board?

bulger

wutcha doing

THROW A STIRKE!

wtf fangraphs – says angels only have 6% chance of winning

WTF indeed

That is way too high.

Phew
Looks like someone's got a quicker feed than me!
Nope

I had it typed in before the pitch was thrown XD

u had 4 letters pre-typed?
Ohhhhkay, let's stop screwing around right about now.
And there we are... was that so hard?
nice escape there
Wow, nice slider
who's the funny guy now!
Ball 4

Thanks swish.

Dear Lord, Fat Chick gave me a cardiac
WAAAAAY too close!
wow

that was not a strike but thank god he swung

...Time to get some runs.
awesome

swisher’s annoying

Siddown Swisher!!!

runs would be good about now!!

Now let's see if we can get some action going.

Maybe get a guy on base.

Stayin' alive, stayin' alive...
Well you can tell by the way I use my walk...
you're a yankees man?
Can we come back in the 9th inning

With 2 outs and 2 strikes?

let's be crazy!

and do it in the 8th!

you must NOT want

half of the posters to have heart attacks.

true

silly me, looking out for the health of HH. my apologies

lol Napoli has had a lot of italian sausage.....
The Bulge hasnt pitched in a while.....

wanted his money’s worth I guess.

ya jackass!

Breaking out the THUNDASTIX
And blasting jump around with rally monkeys
More rally wine!
Izturis

or we riot!

aybar and figgy need to come up big this inning
fitting clip for the angels
I am now completely naked and locked up in the master bedroom

only wearing my 2002 LAA World Series championship cap…..Hoping for a rally . Lets do this .

I'm going to pretend you are Olivia Wilde.
shes a halo fan?

know it was a joke, but still

at least we know he isn't CC Sabathia
wow, way too much info...
and now im officially creeped out by someone on a blog

congrats.

Ed, we didn't really need to know that.
On the contrary, I think we did
Agreed.

Don’t forget to eat your Angel cake.

OpJ where are you...

watch out!

Awesome!

I guess…

and this is different than when you usually post how?
he has a hat on
rally monkey time
Let's go Red Ninja!
Red Ninja >>>>> Black Ninja
at least he actually had most of the head covered..
last time

i did a shit load of rally monkey videos, don’t want to do it this time, too lazy and tired. but the angels won bc of skills, no videos

Come on aybar need some runners!
TMI

my imagination hurts now

Aybar ninjas up.
Red October, Standing By
Let's rally on these bitchnuggets!!!!
whoa there cc
damn it! let it hit you Aybar!
Why did you pull your foot away Erick.
Michel Phelps is an Angel fan
look at all the empty seats
yeah someone decided to pay rent instead of going to watch playoff game......

the cheapskates.

Hey, people have mortgages to pay.
damn cc looks out of breath

from having to hustle to that foul line and back

we need these table setters
Figgins is more like a table leg
go to del taco

or wherever torii was signed, i’m from the east coast

Announcers invoking Game 6
need to pad selig's ass

and wallet

oh 2002 references
They bring warmth to my cold, cold heart.
That was very game changing esque.
CC's still in...

I mean, we know you’re not going anywhere for a while, but you’ve had enough Snickers for one lifetime.

Let's go Figgy!!
do something figgy...

millions of FA dollars hang in the balance

Oh boy figgins!
Figgins, if you were waiting for a good time, now would be it.
Or as Chekov once said...

“Now vould be a good time”

Will Figgy ever get a hit?
I'll take a walk
I thought the Yankees bullpen was awesome?
CC is better I guess.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz

It’s CHone

Time to be the Figginator!
figgy is 0/15??
This postseason? Yes.
yikes thats Barmeslike...
Touche'.
Poor Clint...love his glove though..:(
look at the bright side

CC will be considerably weaker in game 4 or 5 on 3 or 4 days rest.

Figgins. Hit. Now.

SMITE

I need a sign!
To let me knyou're hereu
all of these lines are being crossed up in the atmosphere
palmer magic

coming soon please

...Not what I was hoping for.
Can figgins hit the ball hard?
Can Figgins hit at all?
3 runs...

before 4 out……..

totally do able

At what point

Do you let Figgy take a seat? Isn’t he hitless?

I think he sits tomorrow

but Sosh will trot him out there.

zero postseason value as an angel
makes me re-think about re-signing him

seriously!

abreu looks really tired
Is he real?

I doubt it.

i hope sosh just lays into these guys...
thnaks for highlighting every angel error asshole
Did you think FOX was beyond that East Coast Bias?
i think FOX stands for east coast bias
They can't show errors if you don't make 'em
that be the most truth

written all night.

How do we not have 4 errrors?
What are you SWINGING at, Bobby?
Bobby looked bad
we just have to pretend mo is papelbon i guess.
just remember '01..

it could happen

WTF are we playing the Red Sox
no we swept them
wood or chone tomorrow
Woody isn't on the postseason roster is he?
no idea
just looked...and he is NOT on the roster
Somebody that can hit...
Wood

Isn’t on the team

that angel bat boy is the whitest kid i have ever seen
I'm really glad this is a seven game series.

Because all of the ESPN analysts are patting themselves on the back right now.

If the Angels look like this 4 more times

They’ll be right. I don’t think anyone was predicting us to sweep the yankees, if we have to lose a game, I’d rather it be the first game than the last one.

only need to look like this 3 more times for that.
you sir are correct.
sweet working my way back onto that list.
correcting me isn't playing to my benevolence

but if we win this game, you are back in.

Ball one was strike 3 looking
Catcher caught it with his glove on the ground, you'll never get that call.
That was one ugly Yankee fan chick
Like THAT narrows it down...
kate hudson
I didn't say there was NO narrowing...just not much.
CC was so dreamy

 - Joe Buck with cock in mouth

now he's waiting for rivera..... the "hammer"
Damon's had us played exactly right the entire game.
did anyone catch that

how good was he – in reference to cc, must have finally got up for air i guess

EL O EL

ahahah
my mind is in the gutter

Must be happy ending time.
Still in this.
Dicks, make a saint out of CC

When the Angels CLEARLY beat themselves

It was a mixture of both.

The Angels look absolutely abysmal while CC took every advantage of the flailing bats that can’t hit ANYTHING.

after this post season it mike make signing figgy easier
that or letting him go easier
the latter

management won’t blink an eye when they let him go

there is a kickass photo of naps at the plate during that collision on the angels website

you're not kidding
2010

The beginning of the Brandon Wood era.

you mean like

2007, 2008, and 2009

for what team is the question
He can't be any worse than Figgins in the post-season

Time to let him sink or swim.

well he could be worse if he hit into DPs
Give up 2009?

Scareduck is that you?

I'm out of ideas

It’s time for rally ice cream, magic cat, jump around, thunderstix, and angels blanket

And water in angels glasses
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor??!!
rofl

my favorite line from Animal House

that's my emergency rally cry
It's not over until WE say it's over
angels need cialis
In case of a rally lasting more than four hours

Call your agent.

call your dr. if the rally lasts more that 4 hours
angels playoff roster

http://losangeles.angels.mlb.com/team/roster_active.jsp?c_id=ana

so is Q or Chone playing third tomorrow

Let's get some "Yankees should trade Mariano Rivera" talks by smacking him around for a thrilling comeback victory.
2001 WS style?
2001?

AZ diamondbacks. Good call

Yep, that one...

I still smile when I think of that hit.

Time For A Blown Save?
maaaaaaaaaaaaaatt palmer!
And

Palmer magic

Boy, we have not been able to get Melky out.
MELKY !!?? are you freakin kidding me...

get him freaking out

He does seem to be ripping us a new one.
He sure had Lackey bent over
Get the DP Matt.
Why is Bobby Wilson on the roster?
No idea

Ask the ghost of Josh Paul.

Naps could get hurt here and we'd need another catcher.
Isn't Q on the roster?
and he can pinch hit when math is catching
Wilson is on the active roster

Not Wood

Are the Halos even AWAKE
They might be frozen..
they wouldn't be able to turn two

at least with the way chone took it out of his glove

thats what i was thinking as well
they are probaly suffering from hypothermia
#15

NYA 4-1 final score is 15th on the most likely score list. A little rally to move it up to #11?
vr

Is 11th a win for the Angels?

Yes, 5-4 LAA.
vr, Xei

Nice. Of course, we have to do it with two outs. It's the Angels way.
it reminded me of...

game 1 of angels / red sox, it had red sox as winner, but angels most likely winning score as number 1

Home team almost always has the top couple of most likely final scores, based on math and baseball rules. There is a link to a good article explaining this phenomenon in the intro paragraph in the Fanpost.
vr, Xei

what about todays score?

That is today’s score.
vr, Xei

im glad palmer gets to see some post season action
this game is sooo long

i know it is postseason, but still

Triple the commercials for Extra Goodness.
Just as glad, personally.
well i mean

the pitchers are using all 20 seconds, really annoying.

only 3 hours
Just feels long for suckiness.
feels long...I could agree w/that
we're at 3 hours. Right now

and it’s almost the 9th.

when doesn't a Yanks game go over 5 hours? (i'm being facetious...)
its not that long
Well, we should all take

comforting solace in the fact that as bad as we’ve looked, the Yankees have looked equally as terrible at the plate. With the exception of Lackey’s first inning and Bulger’s Walk, walk, HBP, the offense has been stagnant.

I dunno, they've had 16 men on base
and yet, Yanks have only scored 2 ER

1 if you consider the Figgy/Aybar gaffe an error, but for some reason is still scored as a hit.

Because nobody touched it.
the other game was agony for me until the oth
8th...
the phillies/dodgers?

yeah but for me, being a phils phan

yeah we don't have the letter "f" in our language
sure we do.. F*** jeter
Game 3 ALDS?
i was at a bar, at 9 in the morning...

no agony during that game… well, agony came later.

he is a dodgers fan so i think he means game 2 nlcs
Maybe the tides have turned

Fenway just another stadium, and new NYY stadium now the house of horrors

Or maybe this is game 1.

We lost both previous game 1s.

WE LOST GAME 1 IN 2002.

Relax.

is losing game 1 an advantage?
No, but it's not a death sentence and certainly not a curse.
I remember how pissed I was after that too.

I am all for winning the next 4 if we don’t pull this one out.

Meh.

They lost game on in NY in 2002. Lotta baseball left.

take it back, no jinx allowed
i see what you're doing there

you’re trying to act like we’re jinxed, therefore jinxing the jinx! brilliant!

If Murphy's Law can go wrong, it will.

or…

To understand recursion, Grasshopper, you must first understand recursion.

*mind explodes*

stack overflow

Or maybe you are a fucking drama queen
+1
Gratutious F bomb

but thank you

It was well-placed.
Dont' go borrowing trouble.
lets not jump ship

it is 7 games, like someone pointed out we lost opening games in 02.

if there was not mental mistakes it might only be 1-1

2-1, we didn't make any mistakes in the 5th.
This game is not over either folks...
Tex's AB music still sucks
this sucks

but let’s come back tomorrow.

im not too worried.

Mariano cock-shot!
In the same picture was Joe Buck's mouth.
we have never beaten yankees in game 1

in 2005 it was 4-2 yanks in anaheim
in 2002 it was 5-8 yanks in ny

We are still in this game and frankly have played like shit...

this ain’t over!

Considering we handed them 3 runs.................
Time for serious "screw you peasants" face.
Why are we using Matt right now???
Because he's fearless
Actually, this one is true. Even when he got his clock cleaned a couple times,

I’ve never seen Matt look worried.

because he drops the wicked hammer like that... DAYUMn
Because he's awesome?
He's our lucky charm.

I still say we split the first two, then take two fo three here in anaheim, then split in NY again.

Siddown TEXEIRA!!!
OWNED.

I love Matt Palmer. :)

tex taking k3 like a man
Angels bullpen has been fantastic

sort of..i mean i think Bulger was just rusty

as much as i like to take solace in the 2002 win

i don’t like recalling history in baseball as a factor to beating a team. this is a different year. sounds weird because of the fact I am a history major. We can beat this team. I know we can.

It's more like reassuring people that this game is not the alpha and the omega.

You’re right, it doesn’t matter what happened before, but we CAN beat these guys.

everyone start watching rally monkey videos on you tube
THE BIG BULGE ruling the strike zone
the angels position players imploded on themselves. When even Torii is sucking it up then you know its bad
Has Mariano ever blown a three run lead in the playoffs?

Somebody get me that stat. Stat.

did Papelbon ever do it?
No, and still hasn't.
I kinda doubt it, but I'll look.
Yeah, no he's never done that.
Time to shock the world.
we still have this one inning we can do it its just really hard
Still in this.
everyone RELAX!!!!

this is game ONE! it is a SEVEN game series. I don’t know how many of you have given up, but I sure as hell haven’t. This team has earned the right to be here, and they have the capability to win it all. GOD BLESS #34!!!

exactly

they had a lot of mental mistakes this game, it would have been a lot closer (on paper and on tv) if we tried harder

we're just bummed

i didnt give up im just bummed its not a better fight because i hope they can turn it around REAL quick

goodnight all - battery almost dead and don't feel like geting my battery

but still watching, going to eat my banana pudding (because that is what monkeys eat)

that wendy's sandwich sure looked good
It's not over til it's over.....

For this game we still have 3 at bats. It’s still do-able. Rally time!

i havent given up
Beating Mo would be almost as sweet as beating Papsmearboner
I think it'd be sweeter because

my Yankee hatred has come back! lol

Blown Save Thread?
sweeet graphics guys
What I like most about this game is that the Halos haven't looked stressed out about playing the SKANKS
buck said mariano rivera can blow u away ahahaha
Do a good job Torii!
K, so, let's start chatter about tomorrow

Saunders @ Burnett.. DO we stick with Figgy if he can’t hit? How do we solve the middle relief problem?

watch the game
No middle relief problem and no we don't stick with Figgins.
Weren't the Twins down by 2 in their game?
The game they lost

Or the other 2 games they lost?

Didnt mo blow a 2 run save opp?
Not giving up here.

Even if this one is over, we have 6 more to play.

2009 alds game 3 repeat!
Strike zone disappeared.
i think u guys can get to rivera
McLelland making Rivera actually throw a strike.
Torii walks!

Make em pay VLAD!!! Impale them now!

There's a start.
joe buck cant believe it what is going on
aint over until the skank lady sings
cmon vlad.. wait for the right pitch
Lead-off walk. There we go.
now they are making excuses
Rivera should retire his number for Jackie Robinson.

i don’t know why but it irritates me that he still plays in 42.

Hey #42, you suck!!!

Thanks to WiHaloFan

I never realized that before...

wow…that is kind of not cool…
and why doesn’t the league make him change??

i think he took his number before it was retired by the league in 97
Yep. All players with that number at the time were grandfathered.
still he should change it anyway...just saying...
why is jackie robinson pitching?
haha

i think he took his number before it was retired by the league in 97

McCarver already making excuses for the guy
Thank goodness Hula Dula didn't hurt himself jumping up and down this time
damn that was the pitch

Vlad way out in front

And now these idjuts are making excuses in case Mo bombs out.
i would easily take them making all the excuses in the world

if it meant mo would bomb out

Vlad sure knows how to swing hard...

…and miss

How did I know Vlad wouldn't take a strike?
biiiiiiiiiig swings by vlad
Swingin' through it. Out in front, Vlad.
Can't hit if you can't see it Vlad.
booo
WE DO NOT BOO VLADDY.

we aren’t Boston.

horrible, horrible AB
K3YEROUT = VLAD
we got this...juan gets on and KMO time!!!!
Okay, that was actually pretty funny.
Yeah

I gave a little smerck.

agreed.
but I'm not in a laughing mood
Vlad is so clueless. Seriously. He just closes his eyes and swings. Sometimes he gets lucky.
He jerks his head out when he swings. Doesn't keep it down.
Still responsible for our only run.
We didn't need a homerun there, just a base runner. And he was swinging for the fences - the dummy.
I stand by my statement.
yup lifetime .300 hitter

man he soooooo lucky

swinging at inside balls makes me a sad rally monkey
i dont understand why he is so difficult to hit.

He literally just throws fastballs.

with zero movement

but he hits his corners so well

He throws a baby cutter and hits corners.
i have a vision of Kendry pulling us through

can it be this game????

Wy does Juan bat before K-MO?
Right handed batter against lefty CC.
so he can hit a hr when rivera gets on
Last minute swing

from Juan.

Ugh...

Stop making Buck prove on Rivera that he has a second wind.

Find a way to get on Juancho
errr...that ain't it...

:((

better AB, but still awful.
Gonna say this now...

gotta swing at the first pitch from Mo….mark my words

Worked against Pap
C'mon K-Mo. Need some Kowbell.
ok two outs rally time
Well let's get em tomorrow!!!

Shitty game but still had a chance to win in the end.

Willits sighting.
jals;kdgjakl;ghag
darn

we’ll get ’em tomorrow!

Go get 'em tomorrow...
What a shitty game.
Lots of fail
Ah well.

Get ’em tomorrow Angels.

Always tomorrow
Ok, let's get 'em tomorrow.
Game

We’ll get them next time.

i REALLY want them to play tomorrow

i don’t want to study all saturday knowing my team is down

hey!

lucky you! they DO play tomorrow!

hahaha

i think he is talking about rain.

alright we'll take game 2

no doubt

we will win in this stadium, i don't care if it has to be game 7
well, poo...

you’ll get em tomorrow!!

u can get to burnett
Ah well.

Lost game 1 the last 2 times. We can do this.

that was just some good ol fashioned...

all around FAIL

Well, better to get the clunker out now, I suppose.
Double fuck

Thanks for lifting the count, Rev… I eeded it.

What a garbage sandwich of a game. It's 5:17 AM... I'm going to sleep.
'' Willits Sighting ''

Was he getting someone water ?

i would just like it to be sooner plz

Errors killed this game.

Game 2 will be better...I just know it...
blahhhhhhh

we’ll get em tomorrow

Yuck the Fankees!!!!
Terrible game

until tomorrow…

Bunch of cocky douchebags
Wow. That was a grievous insult to cocky douchebags everywhere.
Oh well

Figgins can just get the fuck off the team already, itd be nice to see somebody that produces (IZTURIS?). Get em tomorrow

It'll be Izturis and Figgins and no Kendrick...whoopy
0 for oct so far
Great Stat

Angels lost game 1 of the 2002 ALCS.

That was embarrasing

somebody better throw some fucking chairs around in the locker room

aight see yall tomorrow
WE GOT EM RIGHT WHERE WE WANT EM
Be vewwy vewwy quiet

Damon’s hunting wabbit!

Never did like this Mariano Rivera guy . Never .

OVERATED

says the naked guy...
he had a hat on!

geez

Well there it is Angels Fans

That’s the game you loose. CC goes 8 and 1 vs. Rivera. You can’t expect to explode in that game. Let’s get these guys tomorrow (or Sunday, or Monday).

we'll kill em tmw go joe
Would hate to hear what Scioscia has to say...

Way too many errors. My ears burn in sympathy pain.

Most unimpressed with Eybar and Figgy tonight...
Angels

Also lost game 1 of the 05 ALDS

been discussed like a million times…also 2002

tommorow is a new day
very lousy game i'd say

one of the poorer efforts just bad defense, no smart at bats, all of that will improve and it will be a game.

I love how ALL players still refer to the Angels as Anaheim
Shitty game

with a chance to win…take it in game 2.

Ooh, look, it's the Cap'n

Barf

Great no watching ESPN or MLB network.

All its ognna be is Skankee ball gobbling.

Ah, well...tomorrow will be better

Time so sign off. Thanks for the hospitality. You guys are fun. I think I may need to come back tomorrow.

I'm outta here. Thanks for being hospitable!

I’ll probably be back tomorrow!! GO ANGELS!!!

I suppose...

I prefer a loss in which we played like complete shit over a loss in which we legitimately lost with our best

who wants to get how pissed Soch is behind closed doors?
