If we are going to win this series it will have to be because the offense scores runs and pitching doesn’t allow runs. If we lose it will be because that didnt happen not because of some conspiracy.
Like a parlay ticket: difficult but not impossible
Lackey can take Burnett; then Saunders can take Pettite. Atter that it’s all hands on deck. Obviously if key hitters don’t produce they’re toast. But on the pitching end they need to show some ba**s as well. Why haven’t we seen a Yankee brushed back yet? Angel pitchers do not own the inside corner of the plate and haven’t all season. I’m not saying that a Yankee should get hit— but if they’re camping out over the plate.
not to hit him, mind you… just to get him uncomfortable at the plate. I didn’t like his commentary about being comfortable playing in Anaheim comments. He is TOO comfortable.
It will be too hard for idiot play-off-only baseball fans to follow if it’s Phils and Angels. Ha ha. My idea is, make the Phillies change back to their maroon and powder blue unies. They looked better back then anyway.
I voted YWC (Torii said the fans are the 10th element, and I believe it to be true)
I hope we at the least can save some face, and take this back to NY…though I will hate to see them celebrate on their own turf (that’s if we do end up falling on our ass) It may be good for some of our future/current players to watch. Like some of the Doyers did tonight…excluding douche bag of the century MR.
We are about to see what the fuck we are really made of…bottom line!
Note to Angels: Not to sound cliche, but Nut The Fuck Up (cuzz yall…yes all yall are looking like bitches) and do us Loyal Fans Proud…for Nick…for the Best owner in Baseball/Sports and for the Loyal Fucking Fans who bleed for you!
That is all. Best of luck… I will still Be Fan Loyal….Criticize the fuck out of you, but most of all… I will still love the fuck out of ALL of you…….. and support you filthy mofos.
I’ve computed the odds of the Angels coming back to win the ALCS to be 1 in 498,740,231,703,270,328,798,473,249,807,203,847,390,709,276,876. CC, Kate Hudson, Mystique, Aura, Rudy Giuliani, Nicky Swisher’s Magic Grandma…how the hell can the Angels hope to compete with that kind of mojo?
I’m betting John Kruk’s Last Remaining Testicle that this series is already over. The Yankees are soooooo awesome. The Angels really don’t even need to show up tomorrow. It’s over. Finished. Definitely.
C’mon we’re talking the Yankees, they never choke.
All I could think about after losing that heartbreaker game 2(which we won!you suck Fuentes!!!!) was facing Sabathia again,and what would happen if he owned us again. I’m praying his fat ass falls down the plane ramp when we head back to that freezer. And YES WE CAN!!!
I only had brief, 15-second looks at Tuesday’s game via MLB’s Gameday. My first peek at the game was during the top of the 3rd inning; Kazmir had thrown almost 50 pitches. My next look was at the end of the 3rd inning. Abreu had just struck out—he saw six pitches. I noticed that he had walked in the 1st inning. CC had thrown just 29 pitches up to that point. So out of those 29, Abreu had seen at least 10. That means the other nine Angels’ plate appearences had seen a total of just 19 pitches; just a tad over 2 pitches per at-bat/plate appearence. Yikes! It’s hack-tastic!
Of Course The HALOS CAN WIN
1 GAME AT A TIME
Dono Romantico - October 21, 2009
1 game at a time, for all 9 innings.
HalosFanInNorCal - October 21, 2009
One pitch, one AB, one inning at a time.
Limit the errors and get some timely hits. That should at least get us to game 7. Otherwise, Spring Training is only 4 months away…
sothball - October 21, 2009
Of course
(insert cliche about 1 game at a time here, as if new york is not playing 1 game at a time either.)
Certain guys need to step up in order to win 3 games in a row. If they don’t, season over. We’re gonna see very soon.
Still got faith.
clover_black - October 21, 2009
What's unfortunate...
…the series SHOULD be tied at 2-2. Unfortunately, Fuentes gave up the HR to A-Roid in game 2. Oh well…coulda, woulda, shoulda…
sothball - October 21, 2009
I think about that at least 7 times a day
UCIHalo - October 21, 2009
you will think about it for the rest of your life, really
just not every day.
Rev Halofan - October 21, 2009
I think about that Spezio home run a lot :-(
baetown415 - October 21, 2009
I told you guys back in July
you should have traded for Heath Bell.
Zach (maestro876) - October 21, 2009
why?
he hit alot of HR or something?
b0rd3rline - October 21, 2009
So do I ...
It brings goose bumps and chills to my spine every time.
Downing Rules - October 22, 2009
my first memory as an angel fan
was hendu crushing my hopes and dreams… as a 6 year old.
I’d like to say 2002 erased that, but actually beating the sox this year did.
So, i figure I’ll get over Brian F’n Fuentes in my mid 50s… unless we do something about this shit in the next three games!
clover_black - October 21, 2009
Way to boil it down Rev!
win – travel – win – win. Sounds good to me…
hbhalofan - October 21, 2009
+100000
angelsfan777 - October 22, 2009
We Can do it
Will we do it? is another question.
UCIHalo - October 21, 2009
dodgers lost right now
figgifig - October 21, 2009
Hey wait...
there’s no “no” option on that poll. This thing is rigged!
GMan83201 - October 21, 2009
not as much as the umpiring
but close…
Rev Halofan - October 21, 2009
Just curious
How long until you let that go?
GMan83201 - October 21, 2009
hahahahahaha
you don’t know rev!!!!!! ahahahahaha
figgifig - October 21, 2009
Let's leave it at this...
Don’t hold your breath
halofan4life - October 22, 2009
Maybe?
JoseGuillenSux - October 21, 2009
ummm....I didn't vote.
The Angels are a warm weather team, I just can’t imagine them wanting to get on an airplane and freeze to death one more time.
bc56274 - October 21, 2009
As opposed to the eskimos CC Sabathia, Andy Pettit, Robinson Cano, Melky Cabrera, Alex Rodriguez
etc etc.
As if these guys are more adept to cold weather more than anyone on the angels.
clover_black - October 21, 2009
CC actually might be
he is a big guy…
figgifig - October 21, 2009
All that body fat is good for the cold.
bc56274 - October 21, 2009
look at the smallest one Cano
2 errors in 1 game…
figgifig - October 21, 2009
Well Boys & Girls...
The Doyers are officially out. Looks like it’s up to our boys to defend the honor of West Coast baseball.
(switching to Dragon-slayer mode)

If we are going to win this series it will have to be because the offense scores runs and pitching doesn’t allow runs. If we lose it will be because that didnt happen not because of some conspiracy.

Lackey can take Burnett; then Saunders can take Pettite. Atter that it’s all hands on deck. Obviously if key hitters don’t produce they’re toast.

Culero - October 21, 2009
I want to see a high-and-tight pitch to A-Rod...
not to hit him, mind you… just to get him uncomfortable at the plate. I didn’t like his commentary about being comfortable playing in Anaheim comments. He is TOO comfortable.
Downing Rules - October 22, 2009
that has Big Thunder written all over
i hope things get testy tonight.
SCHalo - October 22, 2009
I agree, but I want to see the next batter after a homerun get it between the letters.
These guys are teeing off. Pegging A-Roid is a great idea.
Big Bad, 'Vlad'! - October 22, 2009
Bud Selig doesn't want an all red Series.
It will be too hard for idiot play-off-only baseball fans to follow if it’s Phils and Angels. Ha ha. My idea is, make the Phillies change back to their maroon and powder blue unies. They looked better back then anyway.
Rally Manatee - October 21, 2009
Shit…I sure the hell hope so.
I voted YWC (Torii said the fans are the 10th element, and I believe it to be true)

Funke5ive - October 21, 2009
Yes. They can
The question is will they do it? I have no doubt in my mind.
Slyintine - October 21, 2009
Utterly, Completely, Absolutely No Chance
I’ve computed the odds of the Angels coming back to win the ALCS to be 1 in 498,740,231,703,270,328,798,473,249,807,203,847,390,709,276,876. CC, Kate Hudson, Mystique, Aura, Rudy Giuliani, Nicky Swisher’s Magic Grandma…how the hell can the Angels hope to compete with that kind of mojo?

C’mon we’re talking the Yankees, they never choke.
Zaius - October 21, 2009
I'll take that 1 / 498,740,231,703,270,328,798,473,249,807,203,847,390,709,276,876
That’s like a .20050518×[10^(-46)]% chance that I could buy out Angels Stadium every day for the rest of my life!
What? That was just a joke?!! Awww.
AlanFalcon - October 21, 2009 via mobile
Wait...Wait...Wait. You forgot
Steve Phillips Meatloaf of a boyfriend.
That has got to some how compute…right…
…does it not?
C’mon atleast be real with the HH community and add Teixeira’s wife to your projection.
Funke5ive - October 22, 2009
I unfortunately was right
All I could think about after losing that heartbreaker game 2(which we won!you suck Fuentes!!!!) was facing Sabathia again,and what would happen if he owned us again. I’m praying his fat ass falls down the plane ramp when we head back to that freezer. And YES WE CAN!!!
NJinHB - October 22, 2009 via mobile
The Angels can win this and send it back to NY
I’m not ready for this season to end yet….AND there is absolutely no way I want to see the stupid skankies celebrate in our stadium.
It’s time to send this thing back to NY
GO ANGELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
angelsfan777 - October 22, 2009
No we can't
Follow me on Twitter
RexTookMyStash - October 22, 2009
The guys just need to go out there and have fun...
they need to stop pressing, just go out and play the game.
That being said, I have a feeling we take this game tonight.
As for Game 6 and 7 they don’t matter right now.
Keep Fighting Boys!
trojanangelfan - October 22, 2009
+1
Hapyorange - October 22, 2009
we hve the right go going tonite...
in Lackey.
But we have to hit. Can depend on scoring only 3-4 runs.
When we won it in 2002, we did because we mashed.
Different kind of club now, I know, but we have to start hitting.
eastcoastAngel - October 22, 2009
If they can pull this out, I'd be the happiest man on the planet.
But until then, I’m in Halos Hell. :P
moosemastr - October 22, 2009
secret to winning (so Far)...
good hitting beats bad pitching
RER - October 22, 2009
my first playoff game in 4 years
I’m sure hoping so…
TONIGHT WE RIDE! GO HALOS
Brian S (brianguy) - October 22, 2009
Bring it LOUD!!!
Big Bad, 'Vlad'! - October 22, 2009
also
I say tonight’s the first game we start out with a lead…
THIS
CHANGES
EVERYTHING.
Brian S (brianguy) - October 22, 2009

That needs to improve tonight.
MurrietaMick - October 22, 2009
wow!
RexTookMyStash - October 22, 2009
Clutch brought that to my attention...
I didn’t believe it, until I broke it down:
1st Inning
Figgins 1 pitch 0-0
Abreu 4 pitches 4-0
Hunter 3 pitches 1-1
Guerrero 3 pitches 1-1
2nd Inning
Rivera 4 pitches 1-2 (was 0-2)
Kendricks 2 pitches 0-1
Morales 1 pitch 0-0
3rd Inning
Aybar 1 pitch 0-0
Figgins 3 pitches 1-1
Abreu 6 pitches K 2-2 (was 2-0)
