Set the former A'sshole down!
former A and main figure in moneyball

small c Swisher

His curve is freezing guys.
think we see it now?
Win this game THIS INNING!!!
just dont hang it

and the inning is over

back 2 back pitchers with

soul patches!!!

IF only Doliver had one...

would’ve been backtobacktobacktoback

Curve, down and in.

Do it.

need aybar on base

in a big way

Mathis is going to hit it out lol
COULD HAPPEN

he has been alright this post season, at least for him.
and used to be able to hit homers

Don't you think he looks a bit like Speier?
Just doesn't pitch like him
Got you and I hope I got yo mama too!
Nice bulger, now let's make this the last thread
Great job Bulger.
AS SUSPECTED

BULGER SHOULD HAVE PITCHED THE 8TH

shhhh

walk off now

way to go bulger, Ked out swisher

good stuff bulge
I think 50.41%

was the right win probability weighting for this game, no matter how it ends.
vr, Xei

my heart is beating so hard
Rev, as the leader of Halos Heaven, can you please say some inspiring, comforting words during this difficult time?
one post below you...

…that’ll do

MAKE HIM A WINNER BOYS

1 FUCKING RUN

Mathis Aybar Figgins.

Just get a run somehow.

my money is on abreu get the game winning hit

jack by figgins
Dammit...I need to eat. 8 PM here.

thank goodness for the slider, those fastballs were way off

NLCS starts in 10 minutes

Free baseball.
vr, Xei

chargers game is better
NLCS is over

Phillies are going to WS. Just a matter of how many games.

Running out of meds \ .....gotta win this one
My Rally Cats are in full effect.

  Expect a win this inning.

You have cats?

That explains things.

Ha ha, your a dog guy eh?

  you get my message to you in the other thread?

I don't know, I'm too nervous to look now.

Please let your rally cats prove me wrong.

i see a light, guys. it looks like a halo.
they better pinch hit for mathis

lol that doesnt make sense. we will miss him if it doesnt work, and those chances are high

I think not

Mathis has hit as well as anyone they’d put out there, and you really want Bobby Wilson in extras??? Only way’d they pinch hit for Mathis was if it was like runner at 3rd and 1 out

Angels will win on some really wierd play
"Towering home run to center field"

is weird, you’re right

a yankee error!

how bout that

Like

1) Inside the park HR
2) Catcher interference
3) passed ball
4) Ground ball that hits a bag.
Something along those lines.
vr, Xei

Double off the roof.
Oh, we're not in Tampa?
gotta do it here guys
yep they have mathis, aybar, and figgy then if they can get on Abreu redeems himself walk off
walk-off by mathis?

that would be way too awesome..

tomorrow gonna be interesting

with tired pens

just get a hit........ please
Asking for a Miracle...
answered!!!!!!
let's go Jeff

put one in play here

extra base hit
Id rather see mathis bat than Rivera
Well, on the plus side...

ump has called a good game.

cure my hang over please!
Frooking double
Calling all Angels....
Who wanted to pinch hit Mathis???
Watch Sosh bunt him over

hhahah pinch hit for mathis, fuck u guys1

you cannot say he would have done it
JEFF

Unlikely heros

We'll win it now!
Should have tried for 3

/joke

YES

 YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES

Do we pinch run? That's a tough call.
Where is all this power from Mathis coming from?

He’s driving the ball so well in these late inning situations.

Mathis is so getting laid.

Naps is sad.

Angels will win on the bunt

something odd will happen on it.
vr, Xei

Mathis' average in the regular season I think works for him

the pitchers see that and think no way can I walk this guy, and Mathis can hit crap

Also: notice how to frickin' run the bases and stop at second.

ABREU I AM LOOKING AT YOU.

bunt him over!

bunt, sac fly, hope lives
Excellent start!

BOLDLY CAPITALIZE NOW!

I see what you did there.
Mattress!!!

Abreu couldn’t botch it this time…… go HALOS!!

(driving home now)

o.O

=== WIN

IT’S SIMPLE MATH

Let's do this!

End this now.

HEY HO JEFFRO!
oh wow.

i’m flabbergasted.

Dear Lord,

Please let the Angels win tonight.

I won’t ever kick another puppy.

-Red

on purpose
that doesn't deserve it
how about ... I'll never make fun of Joe Buck again
Liar!!

dont make promises you dont want to keep..stick with the puppies

Think we see Rivera?

NAPOLI! MOLINA! OTHER MOLINA! PAUL! QUINLAN!

MATHIS!

Now Abreu knows how the Angels run the basepaths.
Here comes the Hall of Famer.
FUCKIN Rivera
NO !

We’re gonna do the fuckin’

100% Bunt. If we don't we're giving up on how we win ball games.
Jeff doubled because Damon was playing the line.
OF dont play lines they play deep

noway anyone is thinking Mathis turns on a FB…….OF plays str8 up deep in the situation

In comes the Baseball Whisperer
agree

bunt and sac fly

they're burning out Rivera, gosh, if only we could win one, we could turn this series around
thread dead?

fucking Moulitsas

I had 2 minutes of no auto refresh
i hate this pitcher

its okay rivera cant stop the small ball, we already got the runner in scoring pos!

Angels at like an 82% win rate
If that had been a home run

we should have been given an automatic series win.

"JUST END THE GAME, GIVE IT TO THEM, THEY DESERVE IT GUYS"

Sincerely,

my wife

plz score here

the NLCS starts in like 5 minutes

who cares, the dodgers are going to get murdered again

Who gives a shit

The NLCS is to determine who gets to lose the World Series.

phils look dangerous
it didnt last year
Bunt with Erick or see if Aybar's got some clutch in him?
Girardi has so much confidence in his pitchers.
Aybar bunts Mathis over

Figgy somehow hits the ball into the outfield?

Or does Aybar try to get a groundball in the hole?

Thank god, now the dick sucking of Hughes is finished...

then again, here comes Rivera, so hold on to your ears

pardon my french
No, you're right...

they’re about to take mouthfuls of Mo.

just a lousy single. 2001. if the D-Backs can do it we sure as shit can
Here's the thing though....

It’s very hard to bunt that cut fastball. The chance for a pop up will be VERY high.

Are we going to see back-to-back bunts?
hep fing rivera is coming in
You guys may not agree

but the bunt I don’t think is the right play here. Rivera’s cutter, his best pitch comes in to Aybar and he doesn’t throw 97 anymore, I ask him to try to hit a groundball to the rightside, reason being I don’t want this game coming down to Figgins trying to get an RBI.

What about a SLASH?
Win Expectancy Riddle

Runner on 2nd with no outs. 82.3%
Runner on 3rd with one out. 84.5%

It’s a very marginal strategy. Upside could be an error, downside could be a botched bunt. I’d say bunt is bad here.
vr, Xei

pull the ball to the right side
yeah

but it’s hard to know what the percentage would be if you didnt sacrifice with a runner on 2nd with no outs

Mariano is so overated ......
u said that last time and we lost
I fucking hate him

but no, he’s not.

Micheal J. Fox Sports?
Time to nut up

OMG, this is gonna be huge, we have no excuse for not scoring mathis

HOW ABOUT A NASTY SLASH BUNT

to win it outright

Betty Ford....I Swear I'm Stoppin by if the Angels Win !
Bunt is the play here, however....

as I said above the chance of a pop up is high.

omg

pls pls pls pls

They walk the runner..

wait, why didn’t Coke do that?

V IS FOR VICTORY BABY!!!!!!!
IT"S A TRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!

bunt bunt bunt!

bunt damn it no brainer
Aybar shows bunt
Watch the throw behind at second.
DO NOT STRIKE OUT!
Did Mathis double??

Really??

well, let's get this win.

Come on, Angels.

man I wante aybar for a squeeze!!!!!
I can hear Joe Buck's Yankee boner deflating
Fuck it . Swing AYbar SWING
Bunt fielding fail

1st and 3rd, no outs.
vr, Xei

If anyone makes a baserunning error...
mathis stays at 3rd

almost error

best case scenario
yes, are things changing here, Rivera with the shit throw
wow,,bad play looked like an Angel D
Yankee Chokers
that almost ended in disaster for us
SUICIDE SQUEEZE?!?!?!?
YESSSSSSS

SUCK IT, RIVERA.

HE WAS DEAD TO RIGHTS TOO

LOL

what's gonig on?!!?!?!?!?
Aybar bunt to Mariano, who threw to 3rd. Threw in dirt, Mathis safe.
Nice throw you hall of fame son of a bitch

SAC FLY PLEASEEE JUST DRIVE IT HAS FAR AS YOU CAN

hahahah MOOOOOOOOO
Mariano Papelbon!
like the Diamondbacks WS game all over again
83.6 Win Exp

Thought it would go higher than that. Hmmm.
vr, Xei

Wow this turn of events is not ungood.
Must K for Yanks
he cried hahahahaha
Good baseball by Damon,,,,,,,bastard

figgy gets to do what he does best, FLY OUT!

BE THE HERO FIGGINS

ILL LAY OFF U FOR A FEW AT BATS

I know it worked and all

but that is exactly the reason you don’t bunt there, the Angels were a solid throw away from turning that into runner on 1st with 1 out

a fly ball is all we need

Mathis can run okay for a catcher

come on finish this ____

Lets go HALOS!!!

Mo cant throw!

(to third)

Damon did save the game.

McCarver the obvious.

LET"S FUCKING DO THIS NOW
Ball in play

most likely wins it
vr, Xei

For the love of Figgy!!
As a side note: that bunt should be going to 1B.
Make the 3B field it
God i hate stupid baseball talk by others

that was high!

SUICIDE SQUEEZE?!
I will not start celebrating until that run crosses the plate.
i'm scared

i cant stop crying

I have the vapors
COME ON.

ANGELS.

COME ON. FIGGINS.

Oh man, 2 strikes
my heart is in my mouth.
fucking figgins god damn it
yea I agree you have to pinch run Willits
seriosuly

why isnt willits running?

oh man ... one game at a time boys
squeeze!!!!!! :)
Come ON FIGGY!

MAKE US BELIEVE!!!!!

o my, FLy BALL FIGGY, dont strike out looking!

Ground out, runner holds
wtf!

thanks for nothing

Ugh

That was hit way too hard

Make it happen Abreu!

alrighty heres what a i called, ABREU game winner!

come on come on come on come on come on
Lets Go Abreu!
Rivera's record in non save situations is terrible

WIN THIS NOW

that didn't help much
How in the heck do you not go
Damn, Tex saved the game for the Yanks.
Only 1 out - we can still do this
88.0% Win Exp
90.4% after the IBB
LETS GO BOBBY
TEIXERA.

What a jerk.

WHY WAS HE HODING!???!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Now they walk the bases full

FUCKTorii will be up with the bases loaded.
PLayoff Baseball = Heart Attack
it will be up to Torii
ok LETS GO HUNTER
Walking Abreu to get to Hunter?

Ah man

Tex saved their bacon there
yo, whoever called bobby.

you’re about to look like a prophet.

Torii gets a chance to win it all

Abreu IBB.

they're taunting you torii

don’t fuck this up!

Torii for the win. Decent Flyball Torii.
damn, perfect dp candidate in Hunter
No more DP, at least.
posted too slow...
chance for hunter to atone

for some miserable at bats today

TORII TORII TORII
Fuentes needs to talk to Torri
Is Willits faster than Mathis?

i just don’t know…

memories of a game vs TOR in 06

runners 1 & 3 no outs

guess how it ended? ;\

Torii - this is what you came here for...

bust that piñata!!

Alright Hunter

SOMEWHERE IN THE OUTFIELD PLEASE

Don't let him jam you on the cutter Hunter
hula dula is due to ruin somebody's birthday
God what a freaking tense game
A really really good time to get your head out Torii
TORII HIT A GRAND SLAM!
cmon

dont disappoint pat sajack

HIT IT TO DAMON! PLEASEEEEEEE

cmonnnnnnnnnnnn

sacflysacflysacflysacflysacflysacflysacfly

Last batter

Then I gotta go and listen in the car.
end it here.
vr, Xei

Come on Torrii...

GRAND SLAM!!!

Intentionally load the bases for Hunter?

Torri is going to make them pay for that insolence!

The Red Sox tried walking Torii to get to Vlad.

FAIL

I don’t think this will work out much better.

Dont swing at the first pitch Hunter!

It’ll be high and inside.

please, Torii

Do this now.

Just hit a flyball, just once.
they will play half way anything hit hard at a fielder they will turn 2

shut ur pie hole McCarver

just a g damned balk please
Balk, walk, hbp, any of those would be swell
not forgetting HR....

WALK WALK WALK WALK WALK WALK

Come on, fly ball to Damon.

Thats all we need.

even they know how much Damon sucks
Yanks heard you, they pulled Damon and his arm
And they told me I was wrong for wearing my tinfoil hat.
New left fielder

wheenie arm is out.
vr, Xei

Com on Torri.............I want another helmet throw down /.....
Nevermind, Damon is out for Hairston.
I thought Hairston already batted??
Was DH

Now Pitcher spot is in lineup.

bloop hit

cmon

lets play baseball already
i hate all the yankee players so much
and their moms
If Willits was in, he would have scored on that ground ball. Just saying.
well Aybar should have been at 2nd as well
Damn

They took out the noodle arm

Season on the line, No pressure Torri
WTF? they can do that in the MIDDLE OF A FRACKING INNING?
Yep.
Didn't Hairston already take an at bat??

FLY BALL, JUST DRIVE IT AS FAR AS U CAN!

damon is the best LF ever...why?
because that is what the corporate media says
concentrate Toriiiiiii
hit a sac fly!
walk him in!!!!!
WEAR THAT SHIT TORI
2-0 count!!!!!
Take sign please
just a fly ball

do it now

Let it hit you
oh for the love of all that is pure
here he comes right down the middle now
my heart is pounding
my hair is turning gray
please hit a sac fly off jackie robinson
what the fuck was that Torii
that was ball 3 but a nasty cutter

omggg 2-2, shoulda been 3-1

GB 3-2, 2 outs
tori choking

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!
DAMMIT TORIII

WOW, tori you talk too much shit for being sucha massive failure

unbelievable, i'm losing hope
DAMN

Ground ball to Tex, threw home for force out.

vlad???

for christs sake!

Torii swinging at that 2-1 pitch cost us the game
Yeah that was awful.

Just hit the 2-0 pitch to center and game over.

abreu's base running error also
Up to Vlad

Clutch up again for us Big Daddy.

VLADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Come on Vladdy.
vladimir

I can’t watch this, actually.

vladdy, kill the ballllllllllll!!!
vlad

WE NEED A HIT!

up to Vladdy
As the great Buttermaker said" Lean into one"
comoe on vladdy
VLADDY!!!!!!!!!

  ONE MORE HR TO SHUT JOE BUCK UP

Vlad, you can do this!
JESUS CHRIST THIS TEAM FUCKING SUCKS
EPIC FUKIN FAILLLLLLLLL!!!!
EPIC FUKIN FAILLLLLLLLL!!!!
Thats why Rivera isnt over rated

wow, we are terrible

for fuck's sake!
ARE YOU SERIOUS????
That was the worst inning of baseball I've ever seen.
seriously, guys?

seriously? This is heartbreaking.

unfuckingbeliveable!
wow, they own us
just can't keep giving these chances away

this is like Boston 08

angels do not deserve a win

that just proved it

how do we not score mathis from 2nd with no out

no

HOW DO WE NOT SCORE HIM FROM 3RD WITH NO OUT

o man dont even remind me

stop hitting ground balls to texiera!
tori hunter

should call himself out

I got an idea,

Let’s hit it to their BEST defensive player three times in a row and continue to have terrible situational hitting in the playoffs.

wow

thats all there is to say

fucking teix.............and damon for backing up that throw
so many fails there

if Aybar had gone to 2nd like he needed to then Mathis could have run on that grounder by Figgy and he would have scored. Then just the overall fails by Figgy and Torii.

Torii Hunter might as well have stayed home in Arkansas for this series
It just never ends.
maybe next year

this is over

How do you waste a MATHIS lead off double?

This is so inexcusable.

After the sac bunt went our way, this ame was OVER.

tori hunter, you need to stop talkin shit and play some ball

FUCK!

I know I’m way past my monthly quota here, but FUCK!

We don't deserve to win....

If you can’t score with NO OUTS and man on third you don’t deserve it.

I don’t care if it is Rivera or not.

pathetic

bunch of scared girls

Man on third.

No one out. No scoring.

ARE YOU KIDDING
remember, that some people believe that shut down closers don't really matter
That was asshole hitting.

Not shut down pitching

Can't blame Aybar for failed sac bunt THIS year!

Sosh should have caught a clue from that.

it's like we don't want to win

Can someone hand Lackey a bat? He would have been able to sacrifice.

ironically enough

if Rivera would have taken the out at 1st then it’s very likely Figgy’s hit would have scored him

Disagree. I think they would have walked Figgins and Abreu, and we would be in the same situation.
sorry but no way they walk Figgins who has a hard time getting the ball out of the IF
I think they would have, sadly we'll never know
This series is over after that.

We deserve the inevitable sweep.

same old story in October

can get a hit in the late innings

All we needed was a sac fly.
should have said "the hit"

cause they can’t get the one to win it

if we somehow win, things can change, hang in there
Absolutely pahetic.

1st and 3rd nobody out and out can’t scare. Again we don’t deserve to win this game either. If we do that’s awesome! but we don’t deserve it,lol

shut up FOX!!!
Didn't even get it out of the infield
so much for showing balls

these guys don’t have them

on the bright side

we get to see mariano rivera bat because of girardi’s DH sub

or we won't see him pitch next inning

how freakin hard is it to drive the ball in the air knowing you dont even need to get a hit

Cause he swung at tht 2-1 pitch
yea that 2-1 pitch might have cost us the series it was that huge
FAIL.

These guys are ready for the offseason. They don’t want to play any more than 1 more game after this. Pathetic. Fail.

We deserve to be swept.

It ain't over till its over goddammit.
Championship Teams get it done right there

game should be over,,,,,,,,,,once again FAIL

no DH for the yanks..
this is agony
Mariano

Batting third this inning.

MO is up 3rd haha
holy CRAP Lackey is warming up???
Torii Hunter absolutely ruined that inning. He swung at balls three and four.
agreed.
and ball 3 wasn't even close
yup

team leader has failed dramatically throughout this series

i just broke a guerrero figurine
Might have left Bulger in for another couple...
well, our first out was easier.

hahaha i hope fuentes goes on a shit talking rant on tori

Why isn't Palmer warming up?
don't complain

i’d rather have lackey come in than palmer

john is better
I feel like my head is stuck in a vice.
Wait

Does this mean we see Mariano Rivera hit?

They will pinch hit for him

double switch, NL style.

no

but it means we don’t have to see him pitch next inning..

2 quick outs

I still believe

Can't give up. Rivers Morales Kendrick up next.
I feel good about it
Hunter almost failed on that one too
Second out no prob
Francisco Cervelli in.
Francisco Ciblelelei?
pussies. make Mo hit.
Well atleast we dont have to Rivera

because he is in there nightmares

at least the yankees lineup is falling apart

any optimists left?

cause this raft just collapsed right into shit creek.

still here
fire's not as strong

but it’s still burning bright.

I still think we can win

althought my excitment level dropped a couple notches…lol

i'm here sir

we got this

Right here...

…we’re pitching well and we get last shot at them every inning

I'm not quiting on this team
fuck you, joe buck

idiot

+ the national debt
+ My student loan debt
at least rivera is done
blame the players or the manager?
players that inning
3 chances to come through in the middle of your order? Gotta blame players.
Hunter took a 2-0 pitch

then gave away a strike on a 2-1 pitch

i blame him

we haven't lost yet.

that said, blame everybody.

The good news is that Mo is done

Cervelli (backup catcher) is pinch hitting.

THIS GAME'S NOT OVER PEOPLE

LET’S GO!

yeah, gut it up guys, think of Speizo, game 3 on October 11th, come on, we are Angels' fans
We've wasted some really good pitching this series

Our hitters owe some serious debts this offseason. Whatever happens.

What!?

Jepsen and Fuentes have stanked.

but they have over used Rivera, CC and AJ are pitching on three days rest, we just need a win
AJ won't be pitching on 3 days rest, off day on Wed.
Are you fucking kidding me????

Taking out Rivera? WIth nobody on base and 2 quick outs?

Know hope!!!

ahaha this cervelli kid sucks

say that when hes out

lol i knew he would be, he doesnt look like he has ever held a bad

We're not done yet people. Lets DO THIS.
GO ANGELS!!!!!!!!!

PLEASE! WIN!!!

cmon voodoo... take care of this inning
drop him like rocks...
Is Maggots8 a Yankees fan??
He'd have to be with that handle

No, just superstitious.

Ervin redeems himself
good stuff ervin
Good job Santana.
YESSS

Now Let’s win this fuckerr!!

YES. Mathis, TAG HIM.
Let's go bot 11... ANGELS VICT'RY TIME
ALRIGHT LET"S DO THIS!!!

FUCKEN SHIT PLEASE!!

HELL YES SANTANA
Torii shoud spend more time learning to hit then calling his teammates
atta kid !!

now score some FUCKING RUNS YOU PANSIES !!

scratch that... A RUN ... ANY RUN ... will do
WIN IT NOW

RIVERA – U HAVE DONE NOTHING SINCE JUNE, NOW IS THE TIME SNIFFY

Wow Yanks with 19 men LOB.
Cervelli got served
I see what you did there
Hey good news guys

Torii Hunter can’t possible bat this inning

end it now

charger game in 10 mins.

GETTING OUT THE RALL SONG!!!!

GET off your feet and jump aorund!!

since leadoff doubles dont work

how about a leadoff single with a 3 base error?

jump around

at the RALLY THREAD go there now!

We need a new thread. This one has bad mojo.
yeah

rev has posted a couple links for the new one..

JOE G is AWFUL
