Halos Heaven

Sosh should talk with Mathis

hire a someone to hypnotize him into thinking the whole game is in extra innings. then he’ll hit like panther all the time. lol

YES!

And throw runners out at second like he did Brett Gardner today.

That was other worldly for Mathis to hit that with pinpoint accuracy.

44FAN - October 20, 2009 reply

Well, it WAS a pitchout with a Jepsen fastball.

Not otherworldly. Great, and so well needed, and something that we haven’t had a lot of this year, even on pitchouts.

AlanFalcon - October 20, 2009 reply

For my part, even if Mathis gets to stand on the mound and throw to 2B,

…NOT sailing the ball into CF under duress IS otherworldy. And highly appreciated.

Stirrups - October 20, 2009 reply

It was frickin' huge, considering that Posada then hit a HR.

Yeah Fuck AVG. I want clutch!

Hi, how can I help?

:-D

Hey Clutch...

I did like to order a #2 Clutch combo with extra mayo and a Coke. Two #1 Clutch combos with cheese and a side order of Clutch-Tatoes.

Send the bill to Joe Girardi in room #2153

Thanx!

Post Season Mathis is awesome!

I agree! No more Mathis Bashing! 2 Doubles today. Throw out at second that makes the game tied not giving the Yankees a lead! A double last game, and the incredible block at the plate against ARod!

angelfanjb - October 19, 2009 reply

i have about an hours worth of yelling pent up in me.

this shit was gorgeous. light it up.

retrohalo - October 19, 2009 reply

JEFF FUCKING MATHIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

H-O-L-Y SHIT!!!!!!!!

Mathis the hero?

Who predicted that?

Mathis was clutch but Howie was Panther.

3 for 5 with HR, 3B, and game winning run.

SoCalWine - October 19, 2009 reply

Either way this is why baseball is the best sport around

I tip my hat to the career .200 hitter with 1 huge hit

Angel Aviator - October 19, 2009 reply

Make that 2 huge hits...

3, he had 1 saturday night too.

Mathis flopping aces in the postseason. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him in tomorrow.

You think they'll revise their book on Mathis?

New entry: “Don’t throw meatballs over the plate…”

Maybe 'Walk in extra innings'

Ha! I'm not sure he's A-Rodesque just yet...

…but he’s hammered out 3 solid doubles…

he better be in there...

what the hell has napoli done to justify staying in

nah its 1 lets not get carried away had he more then 1 the angels would have more then 1 win

a huge hit is one that wins games not sure what your definition of huge hit is but its 1 for Mathis and it is HUGE

Angel Aviator - October 19, 2009 reply

He had a double that WOULD have won the game if the top of our batting order

wasn’t schizophrenic. I call that huge.

"IF"

If I had a million dollars I would be a millionaire ……..

The world of ifs

Angel Aviator - October 19, 2009 reply

MATHIS!!!!!

I officially love him now, in a totally manly kind of way!!!!! I’ll lobby for him at least until next season’s .209 avg!!!! Maybe this breaks him out of his 3-year slump and he starts making his POTENTIAL!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

LIGHT!

IT!

UP!

howie

howie was so good today..i hope he stays in the lineup..

hathaway93 - October 19, 2009 reply

He'll be in for CC. We'll see vs. Burnett, but there's no question right now he's our

hottest hitter.

HK for copanther, but yeah, Jeff.

can I nominate Joe Girardi for Panther of the game?

man that guy is awful

NewportHalo - October 19, 2009 reply

agreed

I know!

I have no idea what came over him

Brian S (brianguy) - October 19, 2009 reply

that's what I've been waiting for....

all series!

but Girardi aside, I was sure Rivera is only good for 1 inning and change. but with a better manager, he at least comes back to face the next batter.

Well done Angels

that was some exciting stuff. Now it is Kid K’s turn.

Buzzy - October 19, 2009 reply

Over-managing for Panther

PhiSlamma - October 19, 2009 reply

JEFF FUCKING MATHIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I propose that becomes his official HH nickanme

Jeff “Fucking” Mathis

Hahahaha

Maybe he’s the next Aaron Bleeping Boone?

Brian S (brianguy) - October 19, 2009 reply

pretty sure that's

not gonna fly. but the circumstances, I’d say it was worth it. LOL

dont forget...

Vlad’s hr.
that was huge, right before they went to their bullpen

Buselben - October 19, 2009 reply

Yes, yes it was

Totally made up for Saturday in many ways….but then of course he did a repeat performance of that….let’s hope for more AB’s like that HR today from him in the rest of this series! Woooo!

As long as Vlad doesn't vat with the bases loaded

we should be OK!

Match Day 5 - October 19, 2009 reply

YES!

norcaliangelsfan - October 20, 2009 reply

if Vlad doesnt bat with bases loaded.........

we may not be here right now to play in this series.

Jeff Mathis

is sooooooooooo getting laid!

(& Howie too)

GO HALOS!!!!!!!!!

Brian S (brianguy) - October 19, 2009 reply

Mathis getting laid?

No, no NO!
He needs to save his ‘special purpose’ when he blasts a HR off of CC tomorrow. ;)

Am I the only one shocked Mathis' hit didn't bounce over the fence for a ground rule double?

WHAT A GAME!!

Wow, yeah you're right.

Didn’t even think about that. Wouldn’t that have been just the luck.

I was thinking about. I was so happy when the ball trickled away from the left fielder, otherwise it's a close play at the plate.

Shades of Benji Molina's double in WS 2002 game 7

Riverrun - October 19, 2009 reply

Yup...good call.

Andersons double?

No...Molina. Refer to your 2002 World Series DVD for more..

wrong inning

I need to rewatch game 7 sometime. My memories as a 10 year old are sometimes fuzzy

less cowbell, more 'neau - October 19, 2009 reply

I've an Angels fan my entire life

I thought of that possibility as soon as I knew it was a gapper.

MH252525 - October 19, 2009 reply

The Angels are right back in this!!!

MOMENTUM SHIFT! WAY TO HIT MATHIS!!!

ryanfea - October 19, 2009 reply

WELL DONE ANGELS!!!

Keep it up!!!

Go Halos!

Kendrick gets my vote...

…HR, triple, single, 3 runs

The Limey - October 19, 2009 reply

He's so getting laid

MATHIS! KING OF THE GAPS!

Slyintine - October 19, 2009 reply

I'm pretty sure he would be even if he struck out.

RIGHT BACK IN IT INDEED!

Thanks to all on Saturday that reminded me/us about not giving the f—k up! WOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

I agree! I was an asshole and you guys let me have it!

THANK YOU!

AMAZING GAME

OCangels - October 19, 2009 reply

This basically sums up what I think of Mathis tonight

44FAN - October 19, 2009 reply

Yeehaw.

Love the brunette. Damn, I wish I was a ball player.

+1 for brunettes

Slyintine - October 19, 2009 reply

+10000 for brunettes

Yeah...she appears to have a lot of...um...vitality.

I love...vitality.

+10000000000 for brunettes

Mathis is sort of the pretty boy of the Angels

Slyintine - October 19, 2009 reply

lol what a homosexual thing to say lol

just messingg with you!! if i were a girl, im sure id think he was "pretty too lol

mathis > napoli

in terms of _itch selection

Nice

yeah naps def. played wingman that night

Isn't the brunette the same girl

From that WIN pic with weaver, and some other people in a car?

Figgi4life - October 19, 2009 via mobile reply

I was sitting 2 row behind some babe...

Who fits the description of a Naps babe…. Very obviously, um…. surgically enhanced and incredibly cantilievered!

socsia

made some great calls this game.
the pitchout, pinch hitting for napoli, leaving mathis in, not making the defensive replacement of izturis for kendrick.
good shit soshe

Buselben - October 19, 2009 reply

Jeff Fucking Mathis = POTG

How many here would have predicted, let alone believe, that he would deliver the game winning hit?

that's the sense of urgency the other players need to show

That's what the playoffs are about

the unknown hero coming through!!

The game was awesome.

I got in a fight with a bitch at my potter class who told me she didn’t want to listen to baseball, and told me I should have brought headphones and my own radio. I said, yeah right, you want to listen to K-EARTH? If you don’t want to listen to baseball put in some earplugs.

You’d think she owned the place. A bunch of people who couldn’t quite hear the radio kept coming over to my work area to find out the score, including the instructor.

smack a bitch

You have a class on Harry Potter?

Riverrun - October 19, 2009 reply

what's a potter class?

but on another note: JEFF FUCKING MATHIS!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

add a "y" to potter. I was in a rush when I typed that.

You need to throw clay at her when she's not looking...

…see if you can get it in her hair

The Limey - October 19, 2009 reply

throw some gum at her too.

women hate that in their hair

Amongst other things....

or, recreate the pottery scene in GHOST

and shove her face in the clay right as she thinks it’s time to kiss

Epic!

pics or it didn't happen!

FLICKR IT!

What the hell were you doing making POTTERY

when there’s baseball on TV?

Priorities, lady.

It's okay, she was making an urn

to place the ashes of the Skankee fans postseason dreams in.

I have already played hooky in order to buy tickets to the ALDS game, and I'm out of time for the mid-term.

I arranged with the teacher last week to turn the radio to the game. Jeez, K-EARTH just has a 3-hour loop and she would rather hear that than our Angels? This is about 3 miles from the stadium, at Santa Ana College, and she is supposedly an Angels fan.

She's not a fan, just another bandwagon jumper

She's a tiny lady, probably in her 70s, and pretty damned mean at times.

I’ve put up with her bad temper for 5 years because of her age, but today was Just Enough.

Nope.

If the rains had forced todays game to tomorrow, I’d have had to bail out too…

I have my final project presentation in Cisco class tomorrow.

Uh, who was that directed to?

Big Bad Vlad, who called you a bandwagonner.

He called the woman I was talking about a bandwagonner.

Because I said “she is supposedly an Angels fan”.

My class is pottery, the radio is always on K-EARTH except when someone with half a brain switches it to Jack-FM, and that only lasts until the instructor wanders through and realizes the background drone has become something actually interesting.

Please don't use derogatory terms for women.

:)

I reserve that word for the few who truly deserve it. I hate the word but today it fit.

You go girl!

Hope you TIVOed this one

I did, and got home about 5 minutes after it quit recording, so I only missed a bit of the tape.

Listening to it on the radio was so good, though. Really great hearing Rory and Terry GET EXCITED ABOUT STUFF!!!!

and not hearing the idiots on Fox talk about the Yankees.

Mathis is the immediate panther,

but Kendrick did equally as much, if not more.

I … I need to lie down for a while.

Me too....i'm drained.

7-9 hitters

PANTHERS
VLAD HUGE HIT

This was the kind of game that, if lost, leads to a double digit sweep loss the next day.

I expect some guys to get their shit together for tomorrow.
Also, wondering if Izturis gets a start for Figgins?

no, Figgys D is too good

No.

But I’d tweak the lineup. Why not bat Kendrick 1st?

Leave HK alone, it's working

its 3 am out here in spain

well worth staying up for.
cant say the same for saturdays game where i had to stay up past 6 am to watch them blow it

Buselben - October 19, 2009 reply

SO MANY PANTHERS

But… it is Nicky A.

vlad IS my man - October 19, 2009 reply

KENDRICK!!!

turned the momentum with his HR, gave us the lead with his triple, kept it alive in the 11th! Major props to Mathis, he should be starting next game, but this is all Hitman!
And Mendoza Line Mathis is Mammoth Hit Mathis!

you are my hero

JoseGuillenSux - October 19, 2009 reply

not that i woulda voted for him, but vladdy deserves to be up there

When he gets a hit with the bases loaded

he’ll be up there.

Match Day 5 - October 19, 2009 reply

^^ This ^^

You mean like in Boston?

+1

Nice HR to tie the game when the offense was stuck in neutral.

I have just one question..

what are Buck and McCarver gonna do with all of the leftover lube in the broadcast truck?

use it on each other

and probably call up don orsillo to help

they're going to sell it to mathis...

and he’s going to put it to good use tonight

and he deserves to use EVERY ounce!

Is it true that during the 4th or 5th, they were talking about NYY-PHI pitching matchups?

If so, totally lame and disrespectful.

It's in one of the replays on my iPhone.

When they’re showing celebs, ARod hits one hard to left as the announcers talk about how the Phillies match up well with three left handed starters, then Kate Hudson nearly falls out of her chair because she’s so excited that her Boy Toy hit a fly ball to Rivera. She and Minka should really check out the photo of ARod massaging Jeter’s ass and move on.

He's running to Jeter's ass!!

Match Day 5 - October 20, 2009 reply

yes.

ken rosenthal did one of his ‘on field’ segments and he talked about how good the yankees were and how he didnt know if the phillies pitching staff was good enough to take them on.

ItCouldHappen - October 19, 2009 reply

great name

Howard Kendrick

First angel run and Home run.
Triple and scores the go ahead run
Single and scores the winning run
Redemption from last years playoffs.

so close to the cycle

+1 again...

…where Torii, Juan, and K-Mo seem too tense, Howie is definitely hitting his stride at the right time.

Their nervousness worries me.

Our biggest hitters are soiling their trousers. We need to give them a big boost if we want to finish this up at the Bronx.

Hopefully they realize it's a series now...

…and have better approaches at the plate.

They are trying too hard. We all know those guys can hit, but they're all trying to hit it out of the park when a single would do.

Vladimir Howard Mathis......

What a game!….its a series now! they gave us life!

lol, it's the lovechild of the three.

Kendrick was amazing! But come on!

You guys always crusify Mathis! Give him some credit! We may be swearing at him again tomorrow, but tonight HE IS PANTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

shotgun has been looking good!

maybe this is the big hit he needed to finally start living up to his potential at the plate..

with that said, i still voted for howie, he looked like a stud out there today..

b0rd3rline - October 19, 2009 reply

awesome win...

halos are back in this series… every game has been competitive… and finally the halos get the LAST big hit in the game. they still got a lot to work on… namely RISP clutchness… but every game the halos look better… im calling a big game tomorrow … lets go halos !!

wow that was a lot of "..."

im channeling my inner ken rosenthal

start GMJ in left

juan looks confused

you serious?

i dnt mean it to be a jerk its a real question

Juan does look like he's flailing up there

cause i was thinking the samething

but i was like shoulda i post it??? haha

serious

GMJ the defense is a liability but his bat may come alive.

GMJ D is better than Juan

at least GMJ will dive for it

yeahh i would give GMJ a shot if i were Scioscia

i think juan starts tomorrow against cc

but if he doesnt do shit, he sits rest of the series, or at least against burnett

yeah, keep him in against a lefty, but that should be his last chance

ohh yeahh huh Charbroiled Cheeseburger is pitching tomorrow

yeah keep him in their and we’ll se what happens

we had 13 hits which is a good sign

tanana40 - October 19, 2009 reply

bottom of the order

took the yanks to task

Panther=Girardi

what a move!!!

Especially the little clip where he was flipping through the binder.

“Hmmm… no history against any of these hitters! Perfect!”

lol yeah wtf was that

HAHAHA!

the little hoppity-skippity thing over to the binder was priceless….what the hell WAS THAT?

remember dusty baker, game 6

2002

I keep telling my co-workers

I live in the Bay Area, and I work with alot of rabid Giants fans. They ALWAYS seem to forget that Ortiz owned the Angels, then Dusty came out and took the ball away and patted Ortiz on the ass. THAT was the moment that cost the Giants the 2002 World Series.. but still, all I hear is how great Bonds is..

he didn't just pat him on the ass

He gave him the game ball as a souvenir. right there in front of everyone. Fuck Dusty Baker. Win or lose, that was some low-life BS right there!

oh, yeah I know. I was just trying to be kinda diplomatic

No need, you're among friends.

thank you!

it can be hard living in hostile territory :)

I know. We lived in Castro Valley for 9 years, just south of Oakland.

We supported the A’s while we were there, and wore their colors unless they were playing the Angels.

I meant to add that we did that because the Giants fans were intolerable.

Playing the way your expeted to play

is, I think, more panther right now considering how we’ve been underperforming. Thus, I voted for HK. Mathis was great (Adam Kennedy-esque) but we need guys to just play as good as they are which is what HK did tonight. The Yankees are so beatable right now. Without A-roid were up 3-0.

Match Day 5 - October 19, 2009 reply

fuck arod...

if we just play error-free baseball we’re up at least 2-1

JEFF MATHIS

Dogged on WAY too much on this site, while his platoon partner gets bizarrely overrated.

you mean the king of the strikeout?

he's regressed to embarrassing propotions

and his D has always been..well… lets just say the future at C looks bright.

not saying the future is Mathis at all..

and I do like napoli..he’s just the most overrated player on HH. hah.

We've got power at catcher coming up through the minors I think

I don’t know for sure, I don’t follow it like these guys

Is it that Conger dude?

Seriously, some Halo guru help us out!

I think so, yeah

i believe, if given a chance...

wilson could be solid too

Conger is the future.

Can’t wait for the guy to ride the Southwest Shuttle between Salt Lake and John Wayne.

My Wife and I have started a tradition of talking S about Mathis to ensure he gets the hit...worked twice tonight

Keep it going...

i just promised i wouldn't say another bad word about mathis ever again

maybe i should reconsider?

its worked a few times lately

lol im like hell mathis is gonna strikeout crap .

and BOOM.
Jeff Mathis FTW!!!
Hopefully His Brother Ka$h Money pitches well today.

This reminds me of Rocky 4

Rocky’s getting his ass kicked by the unbeatable communist jugernaut. Then, out of nowhere, he cuts him open!

“See? He’s Human! He’s not a machine, he’s a man! "

The Yanks are human…and we can take ’em down!

HE'S CUT... THE RUSSIAN IS CUT !! AND IT"S A BAD CUT !

I bet Mathis ran up a mountain and carried logs on his back in the snow before the game

LOL!

DRAGOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and so does A-Rod

I hope when I cancelled class today for the game all my students went home to watch it

I see on Facebook and Twitter a number of them did- screw Early Modern England… this was a GAME

I split from class an hour early to get home to the game.

I totally agreed with that decision, no willits needed. keep mathis in the game.
WIN!!!!!

He did

while the Soth was giving Mathis a congratulatory pummel.

TheTypingFiend - October 19, 2009 reply

They don't have a clue.

They see “catcher” on base, and assume he’s slow. It could have been Craig Biggio, Jason Kendall, or B.J. Surhoff in their catching primes and they would have been ragging for the lack of a pinch runner. Buck and McCarver are the most inept broadcasters this side of Joe Morgan.

halofan4life - October 20, 2009 reply

Enjoy Hairston's Flop-n-Plop on the Mathis game-winner

That moment is very symbolic.

The “unstoppable” Yankee machine was symbolically destroyed on that very play.

That links to Vladdy's home run.

Girardi looks like he’s going to have a stroke.

Mathis' big hit right after the Vladdy homer

Had to sneak in some props for Vlad. ;)

Mathis

i’m just glad he came through. all the past off-season crap he took on this site. its only 1 game but damn that beautiful hitting.

Vald-i hope that HR kickstarts the rest of teh series for him. impacts the 3 and 5 hitters in the lineup. looking at Torii and K-Mo. cmon fellas

HK-awesome. he looks soo confidant up there swingin. totally different from earlier in the season.

just 1 note. Melky has a awesome arm. he threw that ball with enough zip and distance. if we had a slower runner it might have been close.

that guy has a cannon

could not believe he nearly gunned him down from shallow cen-left

when i saw the replay i think it further then shallow, whatever the case cannon arm

Good Game by you guys even tho we both left everyone on base

Girardi is an idiot btw. We’ll have to see tomorrow

lololol - October 19, 2009 reply

Yeah, but he's YOUR idiot!

I totally, and gratefully, concur.

runners LOB

theme of the series

Theme of all of baseball, no?

:-D

LAD making a run now...

ya i hope that series goes 7, we need both their teams arms to be tireeed

eek! don't get ahead...

hahah just thinking positive, this was a great win for us, if we can go into ny with a 3-2 lead, that would be amazing

SHHHHH DON'T JINX IT!!!!!!! ;-P

Lol they are calling for joes head over in the yankees camp its hilarious. I woudl be pissed to if i were the skanks. Girardi rips apart his bullpen and lineup in extras

? about the Vlad HR...

was it a no doubter ? i missed it due to work but i heard the roar of the crowd from the office when it happened

It was an ownage

He tore the cover off of it

not really, it landed in the bullpen

It died a little at the end

But it was struck.

He did that little pose where he stands in the box and watches it fly before trotting that he does when he knows its gone.

Oh yeah, it was a no doubter! But it did just land in the pen

The crowd seemed to know it was coming, according to Terry and Rory.

There was electricity in the park at that point.

The Rally Monkey made an appearance, if I remember correctly, and then he fouled off a couple of pitches — everyone could do that math, a blast in that spot ties the game that we had been losing from the first batter. I know I was going wild with my Thunder Stix and Rory (or was it Terry?) said that the crowd could feel that something big was going to happen. Boy was that a perfect call. I had an in-ear noise canceling headphone in left left ear, listening to the roar of the crowd in my right ear, and when he hit it I sprung up and my headphone came out of my left ear and I felt dizzy with the full force of the noise and the magnitude of the hit, and how this was quite possibly the best game I’d ever attended. I had to watch Rivera’s at bat through my Thunder Stix as I choked up, standing in V522, Row A, Seat 11 — in other words, Cloud 9. When I later heard the replay of the radio call of the Home Run, I thought it couldn’t have been described any better.

pure awesome-ness

i hope mathis takes that adreneline and runs with it

kick ass

YES

JEFF "FUCKING" MATHIS!

He’s our very own Aaron “bleeping” Boone

Very nice.

This was the best postseason game I've ever been too...

Maybe the best ever?

thrill000 - October 19, 2009 reply

not the best ever

Game 6 2002

please note: I've ever been to.

I unfortunately wasn’t at game 6, or that would have been the best EVER!

thrill000 - October 19, 2009 reply

My bad, I thought you meant in Angels history

I can’t believe you were there tonight. Lucky Duck

FanGraphs viewpoint of the game

POTG (based on WPA)
Mathis: .606
HK: .192

MoRivera on the losing side had a WPA of .315

Look at that in the 10th

I still cannot believe we didnt score then, but whatever we still won!

What a game!!!

Hello from the Big A!

We’re 2-0 in post season games I’ve been too now – and this was every bit as exciting as Game 7 of the World Series was. Well, very nearly. Lots of heroes and lots of goats, but in the end the better team won it.

*been to.

Get this man some tickets!!!!!!

'Bout freakin' time!!!!

I won’t lie, I totally lost hope after the 10th inning. But man, little Jeffy really stepped up! Time to take the series back!!!

moosemastr - October 19, 2009 reply

FWIW, the bullpen today was pretty damned solid.

Better than theirs, which is supposed to be their HUGE advantage in the matchups. And Girardi is shredding theirs, anyway.

6 innings, 3 H, 1 ER, 4 BB’s, 9 K’s

totally

I thought it was over when Santana came in.

thrill000 - October 19, 2009 reply

And Fuentesaurus looked solid but Jepsen looked shaky.

Jepsen pitched two, didn't he? I can't remember but I figured if he was in for a second inning there would be trouble.

Our pitching as a whole has been just shy of phenomenal.

The Yankees have scored 9 ER in 32 innings. That’s an ERA under 3. If our defense can get things under control, our pitching will give us chances to win the game.

Jepsen

looked a little shaky with control other then that it was awesome. Fuentes did his job tonight.

Bent, creaked a little, but did not break.

Oliver... easily the MVP of the entire playoffs so far...

shouldnt even be questioned

Been a rock all season long and continued in the postseason.

Cousin Oliver has been one of Reagins/Stoneman’s better moves.

Rev brings up a great point in his writeup

That play by Melky in center was great! But They were too busy sucking Jeter’s dick, when in reality all Jeter did was his job. He was where any SS should have been. Any SS could have made that play.

Fuck you FOX. Fuck you Tim “Izturis missed that sac bunt last year” McCarver. You senile old fuck

Haha and then he said Manny Aybar and then said oh wait Manny is his younger brother

No you dumbass his brothers name is Willie.

I know...doesn't anybody correct his dumb ass?

Doesn’t anybody at FOX hear this shit? Half the stuff he says is incorrect. If it isn’t the Sox or Yanks he has no fucking clue. It’s embarrassing.

He makes me pine for Joe Morgan

Where the hell are Jon Miller/Joe Morgan

in the postseason?

I’m really God Damned sick and tired of Joe “And the team has won the championship.” Buck.

they aren't even a team on ESPN anymore

I think they broke them up after last year

I think Miller is just on the Radio

Now they have Dan Shulman and Steve Phillips and that other guy.

they are still a team they are the radio team for this series

surfpunk - October 19, 2009 reply

And Kendrick hits a deep fly ball to left center....

So anyway, Mr. Girardi how do you think Petite has been doing?

LOL!!

I liked 'Andy Aybar' myself.

Andy Aybar! lol! Somebody get Tim a clue!

He also screwed up Tony Reagins name.

He called him Tom Reagan or something stupid like that. What a dope. I was like who?

The "Other" Howard, Law Dawg FTW and some love for the Old Man!

LOVE that rhyme! Nice!

Read it in the style of the Cool Runnings team and it gets even better!

Tomorrows line-up should be:

1. Aybar SS
2. Abreu RF
3. Kendrick 2nd
4. Hunter CF
5. Morales 1st
6. Guerrero DH
7. Izturis 3rd
8. Rivera LF

I'm sure it was discussed in the game thread...

but was anyone surprised Mathis didn’t go on contact on Figgins’ gb to Texeria?

I know the Angels force the issue and always go on contact in those situations?

Also – what was Torii doing taking a 2-0 fastball from Mo with the bases loaded??

GREAT GAME HALOS!!

eastcoastAngel - October 19, 2009 reply

No contact play with no outs

With one out you can still get teh sac fly across.
With one out the contact play is on because the second out means no sac fly possibility

Score more than 4 runs = WIN

Our pitching hasn’t been rock solid, but good enough. Bullpen’s been good enough. Offense starting to come around a little….B-E-L-I-E-V-E

*bullpen been good enough except for those pitchers who throw 0-2 meatballs to A-Rod

I think we need to walk him more often. We don't need to pitch to him.

We Will Win With What We Have!

I just got home from the game...

Called in to AM830 Angels Talk for the first time and got through! First time caller Chris, gave props to Halos Heaven!

What a freaking game, don’t even have words for how amazing that was!

101halo - October 19, 2009 reply

Hey Chris! I was listening in my car, it was great to hear your call!

Anyone else hear it? did it suck? haha

I had nothing left in my voice… My section was silent during the time the Angels were losing, so i was trying to get them going. No profanity, no insults. Yet I got asked to sit down… which i found really insulting.

101halo - October 19, 2009 reply

I said it already, but I'll repeat that it was a great call, and a great shout out to HH!

I was in the front row of my section, and I stood and made everyone behind me stand too. I think the Yankees fans directly behind me miss some at-bats because they refused to stand on those two out two strike pitches… They didn’t miss anything they would want to see, either. The usher by me was very good about keeping people walking from blocking the view while also being understanding about those of us in the stands wanting to stand and cheer on our team.

cheers then friend, cheers!

Glad you were doing the same as me! The team needed it tonight, and both of us did all we could to contribute! But ultimate props to Vlad and Mathis… wow!

$80 on StubHub for me.

Add $10 for parking at the game, $15 for one of those Villa Nova sausages (yum!) and some sodas (bad idea if you refuse to leave your seat to use the bathroom and the game goes to extras!!) and I think that there is nearly no better way to spend a hundred bucks and a Monday afternoon. I can’t afford to do it often, and this is the first post season game I have ever paid to get into (sold programs at Game 7 of the World Series) but if I can in any way convince you to live off ramen for a week and attend a game… please let me!

you've convinced me, don't worry

I got a question...

during the playoffs (so now in the ALCS) do they have a T.V. in the parking lot? ps Doyers lose down 3-1

Wow the Phillies came back on them in the 9th? Just wow, that must have been a heckuva game.

I didn’t see a TV in the Parking Lot.

ahh fuck...

Im going to kick it at the parking lot then with some friends.

Anyone go to the ALDS last year?

I notice a big screen or T.V. in the parking lot, I really didnt pay much attention to it because I was ready for game 2. Can anyone tell me what that was?

Senor Chuckles, it looks like you're wrong.

The ever-accurate MLB.com says the Dodgers won, so it must be true.

(source)

They also had a headline: “Angels Prove They’re Not a Tough Out” at one point tonight.

Let the Doyer love fest begin!

This series will be 2-2 tomorrow.

CC is a fat turd on 3 days rest. The angel bats woke up. Sosh will play Howie, one of the top hitters in all of baseball. Vlad, who took a short vacation saturday, is back to punishing chumps.

Thousands of New Yorkers have put their hopes and dreams in a fat ass from Vallejo, California. Break CC, and this team will fold like a lawn chair.

Lets do this shit, I’m so ready for tomorrow.

CC has apparently had some good starts on short rest, but I agree he's still a fat turd on any rest.

And the Yankee Bullpen is getting worn down so there won’t be much relief when CC has to leave early.

hopefully C.C. doesnt go 8 innings :/

ouch...

painfully ominous prediction.

Downing Rules - October 21, 2009 reply

he has had some good starts on 3 days rest but

He has admitted that due to pitching on 3 days rest he will not have his best fastball and have to rely on his control. He thinks this is an advantage but we will have to see it it is. Also he did wear out on his post season 3 day rest appearance. Granted this year is much different I still have a good feeling about it for us.

"CC is a fat turd on 3 days rest"

He’s a fat turd on any day’s rest. What matters is how he pitches

Figgi4life - October 19, 2009 via mobile reply

We can get to him early :)

Yeah, uh, i think you might have interpreted that wrong.

101halo - October 20, 2009 via mobile reply

Who else needs to wake up

I think our sleeping giant is starting to wake. Figgy had some good at bats, Vlad had a huge homer, Abreau hit but needs to practice on base running, Howie had a huge game, Matthis was just amazing, and I know Torri is still dead in offense. Who else. And does someone know what the line up will most likely look like and not what you would want it to be.

Figgy was still horrible, and left 4 on base.

He did have a good hit, but he needs to be left out of the lineup (not gonna change this stance until he has a spectacular game… granted i listened to the game on the radio and didnt get a good feel of how he did at the plate, but his inability to get the ball out of the infield when runners were on 1st and 3rd is pitiful, and checking the box score, his production looked similar to saturdays game).

Somebody that needs to STEP THE FUCK UP is juan rivera. I dont know what that guy is doing out there, besides GIDP and hitting it to johnny damon. I say put GMJ in there, he can’t do much worse, and recently he has been MR CLUTCH with RISP..yeah he’s vulnerable to the strike out, but dude takes too much flack on HH, and everyone seems to forget that rivera has been laying an egg this post season.

oh yeah, kendry needs to step up also...he's doing just about as well as juan

but with tex sucking balls, it seems to lessen the sting.

I saw Figgys at bats

and while he didn’t have a Howie like day he looks to be playing better. Still shakey and I like Izturis more than him.

And yes Juan Rivera and Morales need to step it up. I agree that GMJ might be a better choice at this point. But not sure if it’s a good idea against CC.

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKMO

3 hits I think

I have not read any of the above

Just wanted to add my two cents. On 23 July 2008 Roger and I saw Jeff Mathis hit a grand slam and have six rbi in a 14-11 win over Cleveland. However, years down the road when Mathis’ grandkids ask him about his favorite game Jeff no doubt will answer 2009 ALCS Game 3. I have been to 107 MLB games this season. This afternoon’s game was the BEST of the year. It will be very difficult (not impossible) to top.

Thinking of Angel catchers past, back on 14 June 1967 I saw Bob Rodgers have a walk-off 2-run single against Cleveland in a 3-2 Halos win. Earlier Rodgers hit a solo home run. It was Playboy Bunny night at the Big A. Rodgers heroics probably did not amount to much with the Bunnies because he was already married. Jeff Mathis’ game today was better than Bob Rodgers Playboy Bunny game in 1967!

All along I have figured the Angels to win all three games in Anaheim against the Yanks. We only have to win one game in New York. My fearless forecast is for the Angels to win four in a row. Kudos to Howie Kendrick today. He came in second in my player of the game vote. Any game in which you score the winning run is a good game.

Yetijuice - October 19, 2009 reply

Great report!

And boy do I wish I could hit as many games in a year as you have! Season Tix for Angels AND Dodgers?

To back up your statement about this being the best day of his career.

He also had, within the screaming crowd of 44,911 fans at Angel Stadium, two very special people on hand to witness the magic moment. After his teammates mobbed him and his manager hugged him, Mathis pointed to his mother, Bonnie, and his grandmother, Judy Revell, who were in attendance.

“They’ve been with me the whole postseason,” Mathis said. “They were able to experience that with us in Boston. For them to be here for this is awesome.”

Who would have thought that the big, game-deciding hit the Angels had been waiting for all series would come from Mathis?

That is, of course, the beauty of postseason baseball. And on Monday, life was beautiful for Mathis and his teammates.

“It’s the biggest hit of my life,” he said. "It’s a pretty good feeling.

(source)

He’ll tell his Grandchildren that their great, great grandmother was in the stands. Sweet.

Mathis was just on CH.7 interview saying it was the biggest hit of his life.

linkbruin - October 20, 2009 reply

I am so fucking happy with tonight's game.

Basically what the angels did tonight was said to the Yankees and all their fans “nobody comes in to our house and pushes us around”. Fuck the Yankees. The Angels spend more than 50% less on players than the Yankees do. However, the Yankees still fail to dominate the Angels. The Angels play with heart and that is something the Yankees do not have. All the Angels needed was this one win and their confidence and bats will awaken . Brian Fuentes and Ervin Santana seriously scare me. They suck and do not deserve to play.
