lets go saudno, lets make quick work of this inning

let's go hAlos

thundersticks clapclapclapclap

I'd use the ones I got at game 2 against boston but I broke them.
Lawless
?

I broke mine before the first inning ended in each game…

I was forced to switch to “manual” mode (vocal cords and hands clapping).

broke them from overuse, that is...

and that’s also could be “what she said” for all you smart-alecks out there.

OK let’s get ’em 1-2-3

agreeing to post text
Keep us in it, Joe.
POSITIVE VIBRATION YAH AH!!!!

  LET"S GO HALOS!!!!!!!!!

Hey I know this guy!
"you used to work at 'All-American Burger!'"

haha bengie

what a strange name especially for such a large man

Well, I'm off

gotta do the birthday party thing for the wife. Thankfully should plenty of TVs to catch the game on.

Fight on, Halo fans.

Have fun doing…..whatever

tell her what her wish should be as she blows out the candles
Jo Mo up to bat

Show us the offensive juggernaut you are, Mo Bro no. 2.

i gotta give fox credit for not having that ridiculous pitch location thing...or the 9 foot graphic on 1st
i kindof like it (first base graphic)
ziiinig

bye bye Molina the Middle.

yeah and if it was aj

they would be talking about it the whole game

NOw lets do the same to mini peter

  derek ‘i am gay’ Jeter

Let's go Angels!!
quick name that molina

says espn

cute at first but not for 7 fucking years
SHITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
That should NOT be out
it was hit hard
End of the bat
I hate Derek Jeter.
except if he was on my team, lol

or the royals, i just feel bad for those guys lol especially greinke

yeah, poor Greinke.

Cy Young pitcher on one of the worst teams in the game. A shame.

yeah

they have a really good system, i have a minor league team in my city, in like 16 years they were affiliated 14 of those we made the playoffs. had beltran, mike sweeney (nicest guy in baseball) daymon, grienke, etc

hit the next guy
i guess somebody was bound to hit it out to right.
Fuck that guy

Now we get to hear how great he is all over again.

Sometimes

I think Joe Buck wants to blow Jeter.

again?

he can wait until the 7th inning stretch.

What do you mean wants to?
over and over and over....
they are the best team money can buy

he left that one upp

Insurmountable lead?
it remains to be seen

but the current evidence is not encouraging

Plenty of game left

Don’t get discouraged!

Yes

Keep the faith Halo Fans, We are the comeback kids.

Oh great.

There’s a replay we’ll sick of.

Did a now adult Jeffrey Maier pick it off from Bobby Abreu??

;)

Where did THAT miss?
Looks like theri lead off batter figured out how to hit the ball
Dammit he walked.
Pop fly anywhere else...

stupid.

To bad the game is in NY right?

Angels should be able to take advantage too.

Were not complaining

But it’s still a crappy park

Strange it has the same dimensions as the old one

some weird wind stuff going on I guess.

I hope

For your sake, you weren’t being sarcastic. Alright fine. It’s a crappy location, given the jet streams or whatever the heck’s going on for a park. There. Like it more?

No, I agree

these ridiculous home run rates must be embarrassing. I hope they can do something to fix it. I was being serious.

Okay

Wasn’t sure if I was detecting something there

Yeah we do get the same use but I can still complain :)
What the fuck is this guy quoting? a blog?
I'm getting frustrated

I love my halos but I’m getting depressed not seeing our bats hit.

Don't hurt yourself Rivera
Tim McCarver talking outta his ass again

hmm suando dont let them hit around on you

YOU SUCK JUAN
Trade him to the Royals as part of a package fro Joakim Soria
Man our corner outfield speed is terrible.
our outfield is trash, sans torii
well, juan does have a cannon of an arm..

but that kind of shit right there makes me not care about it.

it will get better when Gary moves to right next year
Nice, you want GMJ to play? Jeezus
show me where i said i wanted Gary to play
SEE ABOVE: 'it will get better when GARY moves to right nest year'
Take the comment in context

“better” was referring to speed

We need Jason Bay
especially when we lose Vlad and Abreu
man, this sounds great actually..

let bobby go and swap for bay?

Get the DP Joe.
Maybe dive, Juan?

lol that woulda been a triple if he dived, he wasnt even close to getting it

damon would have caught that
juan has better D than damon
u were kidding right?
saunders is trying too hard now

because hes basically thinking that his offense wont score anything

best thing that could happen is rain

and delay this game until tomorrow

what's up with all the negativity?

we’re still in this

Even if we lose we have the next three at home...

It’s called home field advantage. The Yanks earned it and we have to fight to steal it. Whether we win today or in Game 6 is fine with me.

We'll win three home games?
I think THEY can.

But, then again, I am a pessimist who is optimized by reading all of this pessimism worse than my own! ;)

It would pick up with them still having a 2-0 lead, but the good part would be AJ would be done.
At this point Gaudin can shut us down...lol
Got the lead man.

I’ll take it

Lol

Me-seer

my dislike for Texieria keeps growing
mine will never go away
You mean Tex the Traitor?

The hired gun…the sleeze who we got rid of Casey Kotchman for?

That guy?

Yeah.

meh, to be fair we just didnt get it done last year when we had him. also if the guy likes the east coast better cant blame him for leaving. its a businees, the angles arent going to be keeping figgy or vladdy on sentiment alone

I get that

But Tex is like that girl that your flirted with, treated real nice but when it came time to ask her to the prom she turned you down for the popular guy who would improve her social status

He puts out just the same, but is much higher-maintenance...

I think we did ok with the “other fish” philosophy. ;)

agree

but nobody wants to feel unwanted

wasn't that a strike to Teix?

? just sayin looked like one

hit afraud in the face
Might

Make him look better…

OHHHHH

instantrimshot.com

I'm sure he's been hit in the face lots of times

just not by baseballs

thank god if arod got the hit suando woulda been done

Again...thanks A-Roid for being an out.

greatly appreciated.

still waiting for FOX to show the Angels 2009 storyline or whatever

did you guys see that a couple innings ago?
Nothing for us.

Guessing they wait until the series moves to LA
or until hell freezes with flying pigs drinking martinis
or democracy comes to cuba
Hey, Figgins got on base

anything is possible

Whatever

I just hope you understand our frustration when stuff like that happens. Of course, it’s even worse when we’re losing.

I'm on the West Coast too

I hate the East Coast bias. And I know the Yanks get it more than anyone. I love the Yanks, I don’t like all the press about them.

Ok cool I got you
No they're waiting for the heat death of the universe
Well, it's not like the Angels have gone through the hardships the Yankees have...

playing in a brand new, billion dollar stadium, spending 60 mil on new, power-house players, having all the expectations of going to the World Series…

What have the Angels had this year that makes THEM a story?

waits for people to detect the sarcasm

not to mention the sellouts in the post season..

anyone else notice all of the empty seats?

yeah, but those seats, especially in the playoffs, probably are going for about $3000 a pop

it’s sick.

that's what close to $1 billion in public subsdies buys you I guess
yayyy baseball inequality! ;)
Have your noticed a lot of N.Y. hardhats

seems a bit ironic

seems more than a bit stupid

but hey, that’s N.Y. (my birthplace at that)

Well you finally said something I can agree with.

  It’s not easy moving into a new ballpark.

stupid yankee fans

think every pop fly is a home run

Ok, we need some offense here

Somebody inject this lineup with some FIRE

the announcers are such math whizzes
Yankees doubled the lead!

Might as well end the game now so Joe Buck can teach us all about long division.

not quite fucking joe fuck

ahhh. is there a way to find the angels game on the radio on the computer for free. joe buck is getting too annoying

no they can't stream it during the game.
damnit

i didn’t know if someone knew of “other” options

i jjust want to see the Angels at the top of their game

if they are playing well and they still lose then fine, but this is just awful, cant play defense, cant hit when the Yankees are hitting the inning is an eternity when the Angels are up to bat its 5 minutes

Alright Angels

How about scoring a run or ten this inning?

Going to be tough as overmatched as they look at the plate.
Hunter-Vladdy-K-Mo

Cmong guys

i hate the yankees

please win, angels

ok lets hit the ball now

they just LOOK scared

which is just like watching a train wreck…dont LOOK scared at least be mad

i just muted it after teh HR so i did not have to listern to those 2 fucks
FOX is kissing yankee ass
Expect anything else
took you this long to notice?
Who said Jeter was done?

I don’t think I ever heard a single person say he was done…Just overrated defensively and declining offensively (which he proved wrong this year). But I don’t think anyone said he was done or not a productive player…

yeah all i heard is jeter being done defensively

or as good as he once was

pitch count update
saudners – 54
aj – 45

Don't let Joe Buck know

he’ll have more reasons to fawn all over AJ.

SOS

it’s the same ol, same ol situaaaaation
girl it’s the same ol same ol ball n chain!

Ok we all knew saundo was not going to pitch a no no...right?

we just have to score…its only 0-2.

I'll just be happy for leadoff guy to get on maybe 2 guys...

r u serious, how was he not safe?

not on the base

again

jesus, tex is good at 1st
Nice play by Teix

Douche

Yeah you needed to dive for that you Douche

Lol nice play….

Lets go guys, gotta find that offense.
Torii really hit the shit out of that one.
STOP PRESSING
too bad everyone doesn't know his wife tells him what to do.
I thunk I'm gonna cry

And FUCK you announcers

why am i seeing tex stretch his mangina almost every at bat?
because

we keep hitting weak grounder and weak grounder

could he have been any slower getting out of the box
if he were vlad
and yet Vlad beats one out. awesome!!
or not

I thought they called him safe. now on the 3rd replay I finally find out he was called out.

UMPS = weak

ANNOUNCERS = worse

molina is done for the night?

"again, Mark Teixeira"

stupid commentary, they can’t even speak in complete sentences…

what about Mark Teixeira? I made that play in little league at 1B 9/10 times, and I never even went on beyond that.

lol i really doubt u were able to catch a ball in the dirt laying it all out

trust me.

they put the tallest guy at 1B for a reason, and it had to be super offline to get by.

and our team, the Angels, finished 1st :-)

Yeah..its like the Twitter generation of announcers
Hey, if the Angels continue to bat 100 in this series...

how can we complain of media stroke of the Yankees?

very true very true

i’ll give you a +1 for that

no if joe did that to a batter

or scoc gets tossed to pump up the team

Lol this is kind of getting laughable

not even touching the baseball.

I still like Jose
come on vladdy

be patient.

scoc is getting pissed

Nothing. Going. Right.
this whole series is screwed.

we could get 5000 runs and still we would not be given the win.

Can we please get a break?
finally a freakin' opportunity

granted, automatic call but geez.

SAFE
seriously

I can’t fault them greatly on an individual play THAT close (it was even debatable in super-slo-mo) but isn’t it funny how all the close plays all seem to go the same way?

thats what you deserve!

wow thats the fastest ive ever seen vladdy run

yeah that is interesting
damn that Montreal turf

at some point Vlad has an athletic wonder

time machine - hyperbaric chamber - cryogenics - somethin

gotta bring him back!

I think Vlady was safe...awfully close...
Hey do the Rockies need Vlad??

Figgins lol you cn have em…

No, no Vlady for us..lol

but rumor has it Hawpe might be on the move…would you take him?

Does he swing at shit like that....lol
Safe by the way....

but seriously Vlad goodbye…

Humiliating strikeout

But he was also safe.

Safe!

and What the Fuck Vlad!

SAFE

not like he deserved to get on lol

f this, kmo swing for the fences

Another blown call at first

maybe if his knees weren’t made a rubber, he could had made it there

Fuck you Joe buck

holy crap…fucking joe fuck said vlady was safe…miracles do exist

joe said I don't know
yep he did...

yet he seemed to imply he initially thought he was safe. even that is amazing.

Wow, swinging at...?

but he got screwed, was safe at first. Shame.

2-0 feels like 10-0
no 1,000,000 to 0
the way angel bats are, might as well be.
yankee dynasty pays off the umps AGAIN

and they dont sell out either fucking joe fuck

great patience

on real, 3 pitches and the last pitch was pitched in the yankee dugout.

Do we have a hitting coach? Mickey? Any adjustments? Useless.

Finally, can we get a call on first base? wow

Wow - A bad call

Shocking. Mc Carver – don’t let an incorrect call get in the way of ruining the ball washing…

another 2 out

baserunner

ill take that. juan get revenge on ur former team!

Hey we got a base runner...
Takin' that one for the team.

Don’t try for the HR Juan, just get a basehit.

W W J D ?

What Will Juan Do ???

come on two out rally monkey
i feel a Juan homerun

hes garbage and then all of a sudden he gets one of those jacks that make you keep him

the brightside

every time we have a runner on, the tying game is at the plate

*run
that changes when the Yankees continue to get cheap runs
Come on Johnny Rivers
Vlad wondering where that pitch was .
one swing changs the complexion of this series
+1000000000000000000000000
That works both ways
depending on which way you swing!

;P

I knew someone would say that
tickets

by the way I have very good seats for monday and 2 for tuesday but higher. If your interested email me. I am only going to Tuesdays.

-1

no ticket sales.

won't be able to use them anyway

seems like the halos have packed it in.

M & T are happening...

o man, juan ur not looking great up there, lets get the meat on the ball

someone jinxed him by calling homer! ;)

haha whatever dude, i called the macier drive up the middle in game 3 of the bosox series

"whatever dude"

I love it. ;)

Maybe the Angels can whack Molina and get him out of the game

because how will Burnett ever pitch to another catcher?

Posada's face gives me indigestion...

so, i really dont mind molina in there

more than Burnett?
with the rubber bats and well-placed yankee gloves...

he can pitch WITHOUT a catcher! :)

well we had 3 chances to knock Jose out that inning...

but something tells me he’s good as long as AJ is. still, I like your thinking.

Lol we are swinging like little girls up there

just gross…

i'm sure they can swing better than that...the girls i mean
Well then they need to show it damnit!

Getting hard to watch.

Fellas

get your shit together now! .com

No, really.org
Is there anything Obama can do to help the Angels?
baseball bail-out?
White Sox fan
Yeah but who doesn't like the Angels??
On the plus side

Maybe he hates the yanquis as much as everybody else in the AL Central.

isn't that disappointing? I feel so cheated.
a bailout would be nice
hope for change
I'm about ready to start a discussion on off-season maneuvers.
Those have already been started MONTHS ago...

;)

probably have the mafia behind homeplate with guns at the umps head
Could Joe Buck sound a little more pleased that the inning was over?

geez.

i know and every out the halos get
Not picking on you...

but If I took a shot for every complaint about an announcer or an ump on this thread…

I’D BE DEAD FROM ALCOHOL POISONING!

New drinking game?
Suicide, more aptly named.
Angels are playing like a bunch of Pussies in the cold weather
in my experience that is something that can keep you warm in cold weather...
Would Sosh Pullleeeeeze go whisper some sweet nothings in their ears??
Well, this could be going a bit better
One team came ready to play, and one team didn't

This shit is really getting old.

3 hits is ready to play?
When they start awarding wins on who has more hits...

…then I’ll give a shit about how many hits they have.

alright 2 runs on saundo is ready 2 play dick?

idiot

Perhaps you weren't aware

But they also played a game last night.

And while I'm at it

Go fuck yourself.

Screw you
You can go eat a bag of dicks, too, asshole
Laa Hoo ZAA HEERR!!!!!!
Lengthen the fuse...

You’re going to blow up, man.

Almost feels like their goal this season was to beat boston

that they just focused on that the whole season and now they are hitting the wall

I have tickets for game five. Anyone want to buy them at 75% off?
NO TICKET SALES
This post was a joke...

a funny one, at that! ;)

Hey ...

I’ll sell you my WORLD SERIES tickets! ;)

What happened to Mr. Positive and Sunshine? :)
Too many guys like you
:)

I jumped off the Brooklyn bridge because of “BC” – born callous and now am typing this even as death is imminent.

Lookin like the Angels of old

excluding 2002

We are 8-16 in the playoffs since 2002.
most of the loses are to teams with the word Sox in their name

we cannot get lead off hitters on, I agree with Joe, we really have not hit the ball hard, both nights.

I think Tori hit a shot, Vlad hit a shot last night. Maybe we had two more hard its last night. If Rivera would stop pulling every pitch we would be ok.

We need baseruners on, early in the inning, very frustrating, its like there is always two outs and no one on and not sure if Mickey Hatcher understands, Walks are ok, high pitch counts are ok.

What a Joke to expect Rivera to do more than he has
so

im really glad we saved the pussy playing for ny

rally margarita time
I've got some rally pizza.
I just made pizza for my boys
Sweet. Teamwork together it will bring some runs!!!
Let's go fellas!
well in the sox series

the angels scored something like 75%of their runs in the 5th or later

that physco path is making us

look like p u ssies!

Nice of Fox to take the opportunity to run fucking advertisements for the Yankees
Yankees up ==mute button
just remember everyone (pessimist becoming the optimist, but not TheOptimist)

other teams have come from 3-0 to beat to the yankees

-s

only one team has ever come back from a 3-0.

If the angels score less than 4 runs

I…well…I’m not planning on telling any of you

it pains me to see them afraid of NYY of all teams

very sad

ragging on Joe Buck

Can we blame him? Honestly, as a coach for 15 years, what can he say on a positive note for the Angels, I have heard Joe Buck al lweek on radio interviews, he has not but praised the Angels, actually he said he had no feel for this series, he thought both teams could win.

I do not blame Joe, lets get hits!!!! and Runs!!!!! I like a walk or two too!!

thats what it is we cant hit right now. maybe next inning
listen to his tone

everytime the angels get 3 outs its like they yanks won it all – which isn’t saying much ofr him, no classic calls. way to live up to your dad brawh

well our big hope now is back to back home runs from Garret and Troy Glaus

oh wait..

wheres mo vaughn when u need him ahah

That brought back some memories....

oh the joy.

Where's Tony Phillips when we need him?
my new rally bp cap from mlb.com

isn’t working magic (even with stickers still on)

At least Figgins postseason pathetic play hasn't affected him in the field.
"next inning, Mike Butcher, pitching coach for the......"



Angels. oh yeah, that’s who they’re playing.

What's the temperature there?
Oh ye mighty Gods of Luck and Chance, do not abandon us now, but rather deliver

unto us thy undeserved wins as thou did in the regular season.

All joking aside

my TV is literally on mute. I can’t listen to this bullshit.

YEAHHHHHH TORIIIIIII
......?

?

Quick poll-kinda thing...

Who is your (Halos fans…) least favorite Yankee?

joba

too much hype

besides Teixeira?

A roid

has to be A-rod, no?
Jeter. It's not him, it's the way the media won'
t shut up about him.
Little Peter

  Too Gay and everyone sucking his.

top 3, swisher, joba, and arod

I like swisher

he seems like a likable guy

So many yanquis

So much hate…
I can’t decide.

haha, you don't count. :)

mostly because we’ve already gone over our Yankee hate on TT :\

Jeter
at least he is home grown

unlike the rest of their team

one of the few.. the rest have been bought
Offense picked a bad time to

go into one of their patented slumps.

I knew at some point this would happen.
YAh , well good for F-ing you
Glad we have 1/3 of a good outfueld.
Angels score 2 runs.
jeter..arod..posada..tex..matsui..damon..melky..cano..
that had like 0% chance of dropping

and Yankee fans went from 0 to nuts. ridiculous

have you been to a Dodger game?? lol
they thought it was a hr...

which is even more ridiculous

cant get mad the Angels pitching tho

they are keeping their team in it. and saunders isnt bitching like Lackey

The defense is admittedly playing better today.
true

the Lackey tantrum was almost warranted though, when your team makes 4* errors. of course, one of them was his, so that’s really no excuse.

ya. lackey definately had the right, but it definately didnt help anyone play beter and prob made us play worse

Nice play Torii

Let’s get some runs please!

Did you guys know Wanda Sykes was a lesbian?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

that was so out of the park lol

That'll happen to any woman who's exposed to Joe Buck
I'm not surprised

but really, that’s not in the top 10 of my thought process right now… go figure

Her commercials are on all the time. Hard to not think about her.
Her HBO special was quite funny
yeah I guess

I remember seeing it twice. still a long way behind BLACK TACO

Ironically, that's what Wanda's girlfriend loves.
yes

look @ her

that's old news
Are you admitting to something? :-)
yeah, that she 'came out' months ago
What's a Wanda Sykes?
rally rally hit it up the alley
Calm the F down

Seriously? We’ve lost the series already? Stop whining about being afraid. And shut up about Fox – they’ve been awful for almost a decade

Someone will step up.

bitchen!

+1 and recommended for awesomeness

Fuck yeah let's do this!!!
Wanda Sykes Beats the Shit out of Joe Buck

That’ll be a good show.

One old lesbian beating another

I’d pay to see that!

another note on announcer and next year

Sorry, I will take Joe Buck and even McCarver who 90 percent of the nation hates any day over Steve, Rex, Rory, etc. Basically our announcing team.

We have a lot of moves in the off season, I hope and pray we do not have a team like we did in the 90’s with the possibility of losing 4 free agents.

But, one big free agent Id sign, Id get in my darn car or Limo if I am Arte and Team mead is t drive to San Diego and Sign Dick Enberg to a 3 year contract and make him one of the highest paid announcers in baseball.

Now for tonight, big inning, we need base runners early and we need to get ahead of the count.

Aren't you the guy who insisted Francona was a better manager than Scioscia?

saunders 65
burnett – 57

actually i had a grade school called burnett

which had to be closed down because everyone hated it
Did they Burnett down?
no, it is an office building

because that is what it looks like

It lacked control

and got wild

well it was leaky in the rain
switched to new piece of furniture in the room

now shape up angels

The Halos are so cold they can't even find their balls so they can NUT UP
You were saying?
MIGHTY MOUSE!!

thats the way MAZER

Yeah. Who the F is MAZER?

Can you imagine the shit that would come down if they consistently mispronounced a Skank’s name?

2nd leadoff man in this series
FUCK YEAH MICE TITS!!!
NICE mice tits!!!!
Izzzzzzyyy

final a leadoff hitter

Woooo

mighty maicer to the rescue!

LET’S SEE THIS TREND CONTINUE. :| :| :| :|

RALLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYY
May-cer?

are you effing kidding me? “May-cer”?

one the "tellytubbies" gets a hit

way to go Boy King

Mighty Maicer Lead the WAY!!
YESSSSS!!!!!! MICER!!!!!!!

  RALLY CATS!!! RALLY CATS!!!!!!!

think he had a shot at a triple if it didnt hop over tht fence?

get him home naps

maicer the hero
GR double, nice start
angel pitching

Angel pitching is fine, some one riped me yesterday and through some f bombs at me saying I am always negative, no I am realistic. Plus, I take the losses harder then anyone, that is the coaching side of me, I am too competitive.

So here our starting pitching has been fine! COme on, they need some help, Lackey was fine last night, he made a huge mistake I believe walking the lead off hitter.

too long of a post

almost as long as sdcat’s sig

:(…reading is fundamental

DOES NOT ADVANCE THE RUNNER???

the ball hadn’t even been caught for fracks sake

Guh. Lets go Erick.
2nd leadoff man in this series

shaking head

aite aybar, lets do it

get him in, please
No, no, no

Weren’t you watching Mike? Step 1. Get hitter’s count. Step 2. Hit the ball. You skipped step 1.

Aybar needs to pop one up over the short porch in right
Come on NAPS whyd you have to kill it!

Come on Aybaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!

I thought he got a good pitch

Napoli, Guerrrero. Figgins'. Rivera

Four auto outs .

Lets go Action Aybar
I'm so sorry

I’m the cause of the shitty hitting….I forgot to put my 9-month-old son’s rally cap on…..OK its on now

first pitch swing, cant win , our plate patience is very bad,. Anyone agree? I worked with Rod Carew for 4 years, he drilled it into me, working the count, especially if you a leadoff hiter or a number 2 hitter, get the pitch count up.

Yes, a hit a run!!!!! Yes, yes.

But, for all the people on here who bash me, would u agree, when the team has not been hitting, you need to be selective, and patient at the plate? Is there anything wrong with taking a strike?

why did you work with carew?
He used to play for the Halos.
lets get figgy with it
Yea! keep it going!
The gnats are doing it for us
hell yeah!

RBAybar!

now off to ellis island restaurant and brewery for some $1.50 pints and the game.. :-)

Okay Figgins

it’s time to join the post season

lol dont pull a willits aybar!

COMMENCE ATTACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No more being scared Figgy

Hit this guy.

I remember my first basehit
I remember my hitless postseason
C'mon Chone

Keep it going.

inside the park homer

c’mon Chone!

take strike figgy

then I would like to see Ayber go on the next pitch

aybar steal. figgins single. abreu hits a bye bye
This Yankee fan is nervous

just thought you guys should know.

:)

sucks, doesn’t it?

It's what makes playoff baseball fun

But could you tell your guys that’s enough for now and to just strike out? I’d appreciate it…

haha

Nah…they’re doing just fine.

Fine...

I’ll just continue to sweat.

it's unforunate, I know

but now you realize how us Twins fans felt last week. :\

Great jump

Stole that off the pitcher.

Steal!!!!!!!!!
checking in, time for a Figgy hit
not even close

good jump Admiral

Is figgins trying to get a hit
Idk tought to tell
oerfect

But was that a strike?

alright

now would be a great time to figgy to get in on the basehit action

The Admiral sensed the trap

lol thats why arte loves you

good news: man on second
bad news: now burnett not worried about aybar – better pitches (for yanks) to chone

no worried about 3rd now
at least Bobby will have a chance

to bring him in

This would be a nice time to come out of the doldrums, Figgins.
You stink Figgins . You stink .

power of negative thinking .

again

put your clothes on and shut up.

Let's go Chone!! get a hit
Saw a state n figgy today on foox sports I believe or espn

Over 70 percent of the pitches he swung at last night were balls

no wayyyyy, that was a balll

Hey! They got the Preston patch right
Don't watch that inside pitch, damn it.
Burnett cant pitch well with runners

but now hes not worried about aybar

he's upset about the perfect game.
STFD Yankee Fans
bunr the hell out of it
wow

I’ll take that…

Keep fucking with the ESPN-Fox Yankee worshiping script

as I said before: WE ARE GOING TO WIN TONIGHT!

wow, burnett is getting wild

ill take it.

go bobster

let's do this, Bobby!
interesting

We’ll take it

That's another way to get on base Figgy
okay that is how we do it
haha Aybar running around to home lol
win

we score here we can win, make it a big inning, Tori, Vlad, be selective

YOWZA
Figgins HBP - Burnett is getting skiddish

c'mon Bobbyyyyyyy
Is the ump talking to the Yankees as well?
SUCK THEIR BLOOD BOBBY!!!!!
cmon Bobby

forget youre playing in NYY

he used to hit hr's in ny
figgins is determined to get on base without getting a hit
Mmmm BOOOOOOOBAY !!!!!
I want to swim there in Boob Bay
Since he's not gonna hit the ball, figgy should just get hit evrytime
did figgins get on at all vs boston
yeah, he had a walk in the bottom of the 9th that helped us win..
u didn't watch game 3?????
man u missed a game
Quentin flew out to center, by the way.
never new that

If he swings and gets hit, he’s out, huh. But if the catcher drops it, its live

come on Bobby, let's turn the momentum around here
anyone else notice that the Fox jacka$$ haven't mentioned Nick in either game so far?
Yes

but they were able to put together a nice montage on the Yankees season

I didn't notice...

TV’s been on mute.

we need a gapper
BOOOOOBAY BOOOOOBAY
double steal does sound nice.

either way theres a runner in sp

DOUBLE STEAL IS GO

REBEL SCUM TO THE RESCUE

no with left handed batter
How many Blerns do we get again?
well, we have to wait for the chinchillas to be released

otherwise the giant matriarch spider will blern the blernsman.

as many as you can shout into a treasure chest
Lets Go BOOBIES!!!
get rid of dp guys
AJ is in a jam tonight???

But Buck, you said this is the best you’ve ever seen him!

Jeter is in AJ's head as well
can only be helpful for your Angels. :)

pitch the ffing balll

The next craze:

Chipotle at baseball games

eehh

anyone see southpark episode about it

BOBBY!BOBBY!BOBBY!
314 ft down the right field line .....

thats so minor league …… Lets go BA hit it out .

If bobby wants more than 16 mil, he should prove his worth with a clutch hit
the Angels need to make burnett pitch himself out of this

he’s a timebomb

lets go bobby lets go
3-1

your pitch Bobby, deposit that shit

take walk

and let Tori bat with the bases loaded

Breath In Breath Out Breath In Breat Out Breath In !!!
Rod Carew

Someone asked why I worked with him. He was my hitting coach for four years, right after he retired, 7th grade to basically my senior year, taught me so much about hitting, made me a better hitter then I ever was, and I felt confident and was never intimidated by a pitcher once I was working with him twice a week in Anaheim Hills

cool thanks

- that was me

Ouch, don't swing at ball 4 :(

dont chase shit!!!

I can't believe Bobby swung at ball four.
What were you swinging at?
forsure send em now
and they did...
oh man....

swung at ball 4 wtf….why is he so weird at Yankee stadium??

Maybe he's still on the payroll.
Dang it

That was ball 4 cant win like that, come on!!! That ticks me off

take or swing ? 3-2

swing

hit and run watch
marginal manager

Joe Giradi just inherited an awesome team….my senile grandfather could manage them

sports weekly said he had manager edge over angels

bc he played in ws, even though scoc managed a ws. and had 4 players from yankees late 90s dynasty still on the team.

damnit. cmon bobster
where's the heart medication?
I'm inoculated after the Rocks series..

beer helps too

I need home defibrilator
Burnett is going to freak out

just dont beat yourself!!!!!

Bobby's got a good AB going..

let’s see this translate to the rest of the team!

Looking for the wolfish grin on Bobby's face
Well this is intense :)
how big would a 3 run shot be?

BIG

damnit no jinxing

only TheOptimist

he's right on those fastballs

come on Bobby!!!!

C'mon Bobby

let’s do this thing

Make em work Bobby

I would say he is
Gapper scores 2!!!
Crap I am pissed

Bobby has to understand who is on deck, Tori, thats is unselfish and smart baseball not swining on a 3-1 count especially when it is a ball

Be quiet.
+1

I’m using this post as my eyes, and I thought he was out already.

CHUPACABREU used CLUTCH

It was super-effective!

This is killing me
don't swing next boobies
it'll be a junk one
hes all over the fastball...will he lay off the Burnett curve thats coming?
sick em bobby
Eybar and Figgy should be loose now...

:)

Get a base hit and youll get $50 million for 2 years .
Mark Gooby Gubicza here

to tell you about the BEST PLAY IN BASEBALL

Man, so close.

ouch that hurt…

Ugh.

That sucks.

TORII

come on bud

stop hitting it to damon!!!!
Haha good play by Johnny Damon

a 12 year odl could’ve caught that.

In the summer that's a HR
what was that????

torri please, please ibeg you just bloop it to right

Yankee Stadium is a joke

A pop foul is almost a HR…

sorry but that kills us

should have bases loaded, 1 out and Tori Hunter up, Tori, come through

Oh fuck you.
That's what I've been trying to tell him
by the way, johnny damon is a bitch.
of course Abreu is upset ya dumbass
abreu thought that was a clear pop out
shitski

and double shitski

do work torii
hunt the yankees torrii
come on Toriiiiii!
Big Game Hunter!!!

Sit and wait… sit and wait.

This stadium is a dump.
they had 3k empty seats yesterday
that's just wrong.
but they said they sold out
haha, of course they did.
probably were.

corporate seats, big wigs would rather watch it from their condo.

yeah, no doubt some would rather stay warm

and if there were 3000 unsold (not saying there weren’t, but hypothetically), then mgmt. would almost surely buy them up just to make sure it was sold out. teams do this all the time, it’s usually for regular season games in whatever sport, and they mostly go to charity. but for playoffs, it’s uncommon especially for a team like Yanks so I’m guessing they were sold and went unused.

yeah i was gonna say, looked pretty empty by the dugout seats

same today

embarrassing

I don’t care if the nosebleeds are $200 a pop (face value). that’s still embarrassing. know your fan base.

Torii

Torii
Torii
Torii

hunt the yankees
i do recall torii coming through in a similar situation to this.
Let's go Toriiiiiiiiii
Pitch around toget to Vlad??
2-run double

c’mon

We've got our timing back

Momentum is shifting our way.. We must capitalize here!

not scoring would be a momentum killer
walk Torii... pitch to Vlad, and he hits the 1st grand slam of '09...

well I can hope right..

the balls on Burnett

2-0 curveball

balls = stupidity?
That was a nice 2-0 swing.
id be ok with Vlad up there

chance there is a wild pitch

nice location on the 2-1 pitch
If Torii gets on ......This Vlad at bat will be an instant classic
It would be a one pitch at-bat.
like I said instant classic .....
COME ON BABY!!!!!!
He hasn't got a ball in the zone yet
OT i think umps really need to control this

like they do for coaches

catchers coming to mound
why is Arte out in the stands??
yankees wouldn't give him a suite
because he's a fans owner
yeahhh full count
full count!

C’Mon Torii!

i like how arte is sitting with everyone else

and steinbrenner is in his luxury box. jackass.

oh boy...nerve wracking!
tori

I feel a 3 run bomb i hope

Toriii.....
Wow, you've got some sharp eyes, Torii

Nicely taken.

STFD Yankee Fans
Huh.

bases loaded, 2 outs? Yikes.

Awful break for us.
oh boy vlad

come on baby

Shit! Aybar would have scored on the wild pitch.
Are you freaking kidding me????

gah…its a pinball machine!!!

I'm telling you nothing is going our way!!!
How does he not get home there?
BS. Whatever, get him Vladdy!
crap!!!1

What a break, think Ayber scores on that

What the hell was that?!

Caremed into stands and that means “you get one base”??

WTF? that was a passed ball

how does that NOT score a run??

WALK!...vlad is coming!

game 3 clutch hit coming!

Please don't swing at anything like that third strike last time
way to walk torii

wicked way to bring up vladdy (use boston accent)

VLAD

YOU CAN DO IT YOU CAN DO IT YOU CAN DO IT

oh man aybar was at home plate
I don't give a shit

If it goes into the seats. If he wouldve scored, he should score

Vladdy

Vladdy
Vladdy
Vladdy

It might be 40 degrees at Skankee Stadium

but AJ looks like he’s starting to melt!

Come on Vlad be the #2 Angel!!!!
Hey Vlad, take another pitch
Just like boston Vlad
wild pitch cmon!!
he didn't

swing on the first page. ..amazing

heart attack…

VLAD

do it big guy!

Oh Vlad, please, please stretch your AB
dont be scurred , pitch to vlad

no they called it wrong, you get base you are going to (3rd because running 3-2) and extra base (home)

Stand up PEOPLE!!
Take a strike Vlad...

that was ball 2

Take a walk Vladdy it's an RBI
Has to be attempt

that is not a strike

not a swing, defensive damnit

Did he try to hit the ball?

NO

unfortunately...

thats not the rule.

Big Daddy. Do it . Do it .
AW C'Mon Aybar!

Let’s go!

Old Daddy Vladdy

sigh

It's 9th inning with 2 out at Fenway time...

Just do it Vlad!

I don't understand why Aybar didn't advance on that WP?
C'mon Umps

Make Burnett pitch the FUCKING BALL

The count could easily be 3-0.
Our only hope is a wild pitch....
There it is!!!!!!!!!!!
Ask and ye shall receive
your wish is Burnett's command.

or something. SCORE! :)

whatever works!
wooohooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
woot!!! Tie game!!!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
YEAHHHHH

fuck yeah

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSss
TIEIEIEIEIEIEIEIEIEIEIEIIEIEIEIEIE
;klja;lsdj;lakjsdfk;ljask;lfdj!!!!!!WWWOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH
There it is ...........
take it

was that a wild pitch?

Sweet

Make him pay for his wildness.

Justice is served
takes some pressure off vlad
nice

now take the lead,

Vladdy baby

great job waving him home… now it can only be a 3 run HR!

or a sh!tty grounder in the hole, whichever
How much are those playoff tickets now?!
Still haven't got a GS this year...
Cmon Vladdy, Why dont you take out U-Haul?
...I'll take IT.
why

Why? we need an inning to take a lead? New York will score I saw at the worst 4 runs this game, for all the eople that wants to tell me to F off, that is 90 percent of you. Iv coached the game at a high level for 15 years. that inning could of been bigger. Yes, I am happy we tied it, but, Bobby A. Walks and who knows a 4 run inning?

ALso, Great teams come back and answer when scored on. Hope the Yanks do not score this inning.

For Vlad, can anyone here say he has had two good at bats tonight? We need him to deliver when runners are in scoringposition.

jeter sucks
they really can't throw for shit
needed more

but hey it is tied.

Vlad

Should’ve trucked em’

Ugh.

We lucked out getting the Wild Pitch there.

Burnett's been doing that all game.

Can you really call it luck if it’s a feature of the pitcher we’re hitting against?

Oh well.

I’ll take it.

god damn

can jeter throw a baseball?

Matter of Time

We’ve got them where we want them.

Have Faith….

Worthless piece of shit...

Vlad…go to the bench

these bad throws by the Yankees

WILL BURN THEM EVENTUALLY

Fuck yeah!

Now shut em down 1,2,3 Hokey Joe!!

woo, tie!

Should’ve knocked down Tex though, just for the hell of it.

+1

Tex got scurrrred little bitch…lol

sighs

at least we got 2

Vlad. I will always have the memories
I wish Vlad was'nt old.
And to quote myself, before the inning started

“Angels score two”

Thank you, thank you

What??? Isn't Joe Buck going to say for the 5,000 time tonight...

“I’ve never seen AJ look so good before!”

alrite we got to the physco path!
like I said

Good teams, whe nscored on, come back at the bottom half of the inning and score, I hope I am wrong.

just as out as vlad was...
