yippy-I-yay
mini-sirloin-burgers
mini sirloin burgers!
prefer that to black taco..

at least the tune has a nice hook

The Black Taco is the self proclaimed Pinstripe Alley rally song.

We got our Mini Sirloin Burgers.

Game has a long way to go

4 runs can be overcome.

more offense ...

MORE OFFENSE !

those e-trade baby commercials are creepy
Lets do this thing

Love to see them get into the pen this inning

Strike first and strike often. Get more runs.
De Nada

Cerveza Imperial numero tres

Come on Juan! Be like Ricardo Montalban!
He has been

Ricardo is dead and so is Juan

But rich Corinthian leather will never die.
There is no such thing.
LETS GO HALOS
Let's Go Halos!

HIT-HIT-HIT!

Let's go Angels! KEEP UP THE PRESSURE!

PLAY ANGELS BASEBALL!!!!!

yankees not doing much

sounds like a funeral on fox.

WTF Rivera....PUT IN WILLITZ
Willits (correction)
Heck, even GMJ

Even if they do nothing, they’ll just be matching Rivera

Buck go cover the viking game

and dont come back

No no

we don’t want him!

pinche juan rivera

vale verga!

Cowboys on Fox again WTF!!!
just got back from Chili's....place was crawling with Angels fans!
Momentum killer

Johnny Rivers.

Rivera. Out. Surprised? No.

how is rivera still in the lineup, anyone to replace him?

Scioscia considered putting in GMJ or maybe Willits? in his place, but didn't like that option.
You are REALLY making me want Juice, Rivera.
3 pitches, 2 outs - gotta make this guy work for it

Drinking Miller, wish it was St. Pauli Girl

bullshit Juan!

first pitch swinging motherfucker

Rivera is KILLING this vibe
mathis

best angel catcher of all time.

(short term memory)

BullShit Speedy Juanzalez
Let's have a 2-out rally here.
Si se puede

Por Favor

Do the damn math!
who is this mathis guy
Gene Tenace brought back to life
before my time sorry.
HOW IS MATHIS NOT STARTING THE REST OF THE SERIES
mathis wants to win
MATHIS

OMG!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU

did we just call this guy up...?
who is this guy?
Best I can tell, Jeff thinks its spring training. He always owns ST. >_>
shhhhh nobody say anything

Mathis is getting laid tonight!

jesus cristo mathis!!
HOLY SHIT!

Are we sure thats not naps in disguise?

Mathis is feating!!!

let this streak continue..

Good GOD, Jeff Mathis has become unstoppable.
Who the fuck is this Mathis guy?
I don't know, but the rest of the Halos need to slow down a smidge

and take a few more pitches

"hitting machine" !!!!!!!!!!!!

-Joe Buck

i think you just found your new sig
Quick! Copy Mathis!
What has Sosh been telling these guys? Or feeding them?
lasagna is my guess
awesome juice
juicy fruit juice
Straight Kool-Aid
mike shosha breast milk
Malk

now with vitamin “R”

haha simpsons

“You promised me dog or higher”

Boy, and Mathis was the one I LEAST expected to be hot

But I sure am not complaining

mathis putting on a show

watch out Arod

Why does juan rivera suck so fucking hard?
doubles machine?

jeff mathis!

Mathis and Rivera swapped bodys
The Month of the Mathis
Jose Molina weeps

it coulda been me!

Wtf Mathis?
who does he think he is?
There was a misunderstanding

I want Lackey to pitch for US in the game in NY when we play game #6 when we WIN!!!!

I understood you.
hell if Mathis is hitting like this

put GMJ in too!!

That is the same Mathis

you guys all have a man crush on the Napster…..

I have been in Mathis' corner all along
Uh, the Mathis I remember had 8 doubles all year. THIS Mathis has

4 in the space of 3 games. Does not compute.

and what has Napoli done lately???

they all get in a slump….but I have ALWAYS been a Mathis fan!!! and not because he posed for a picture with my sweet little grandson!!!

Nothing, but that's the point. Napoli had 20 HR's and an 842 OPS in the regular

season. There was no reason for us not to want him in…till now. >_>

Unfortunately only 9 guys can

be on the field at one time so Sosh has to make decisions…I agree that GMJ should be in there instead of Juanito…..doesn’t Juan have a hip problem??? or am I thinking of somebody else…

Bottom line is you go with the hot hand

hes on FIRE!!
and i am not a Mathis backer

Oh, I agree. Mathis till the cows come home as long as he's hitting the

cover off the ball.

Well that makes you 3 for 162+
STOP WASTING JEFF MATHIS AWESOMENESS!!!!
He is gonna carry us to the WS on his back

then we’re all getting laid

wow, i think we may have gotten our wish

we’re always talking about combining napoli’s bat with mathis’ glove, and i’ll be damned, this is what it would look like..

When did Jeff Mathis become such a badass?
he stepped up

when naps regressed to horrific proportions.

he has always been a badass

just stop seeing the ladies and focusing more on baseball.

hey....he's just a cute southern boy!!!!
Right now there is no reason what so ever not to allow GMJ a chance to play

There is noway he could do worse then frosted tips

he could make a costly error in the field
...Gotta give you that one.
Juan fields like a turd

cannon of an arm, but whos to say he gets to a ball that is just a little too far for him to run?

Really?

Link

cannon of an arm, gets a lot of assits

but he is a fucking turd, and his frosted tips and unclutchness is enough to make me never want to see him again.

he has a better arm than Damon
Juan actually has deceptive range, much like GA did.

He doesn’t dive, but yeah.

c'mon Lackey - 1, 2, 3
OT:That New Southwest Bowl from Jack any good...?

Anyone know…?

super high in sodium and fat
im sure he meant "tastes" good.
probably is delicious
High fat+high sodium=win!
Swisher.......................still looking up for Balloon Boy
someone please slap the Halos
that art rendering didnt look like swisher at all
looked like giambi
Looked just like him....

UGLY !!!

man he is even uglier in that pic
is that supposed to look like Swisher...lol
SSSSSSSSwiiiishhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Hahaha

Swish forgets again in which direction his dugout is located. He did that here in MN too. Hilarious.

Even he hates the yanquis

He would rather be on the other team

Listen to those FOX announcers.....

IF there is a game 6…..jerks

melky looked like he hit a HR

WHAT A TOOL

I am getting sick of Melky and his trot
I'm sick of his face
i'm sick of his name
i'm sick of his.............i got nothin'
Girardi burning through his bench again

That means AJ is out

why?
they had Molina in just to catch AJ
that's right.....

J-Mo is probably out…the turtle is in…

Meh. Won't make a difference.
wow posada

i wonder what this means?

What no Kate Hudson cameos?

we need one of our players to date a mediocre actress too
mathis is going to soon.

Our players live in Orange County..any questions?

Mathis has banged every chick from The Hills

Seriously, what actress compares to an average OC girl????

Mathis is a country boy

Reggie will introduce him to one of his OK girls….

nobody

California/OC has the hottest girls eva

Oh Lord!!!!

the real Housewives of OC?!?!?! LOL

those bitched be crazy

in the words of my little brother

Have you seen that

loud, rude NeNe on Atlanta???

don't have time to watch those shows

nor would i if i did lol

figgins should date tyra

the height should be fun

tyra is in NY
so? figgins lives on the east right
awwww.. soft focus on AJ

he looks so sad

Lakcey has his curveball workin tonight
John has been NAILS thus far...

champion!

Nice try Jeff Mathis
nice idea Mathis

if that throw was more on target, he is out

do they just pass out free thundersticks
ya when you enter the gates
I have mine from Tuesday and I'm using them
you have to get there early

otherwise you’ll have to scour the seats afterward for a pair….not that i would do anything like that.

To the first _x_ fans.
I LOVE OUR ANNOUNCERS

STRUCK HIM OUT!!

Rory and Terry ROCK!
they sure did wish they did tv
I just mute FOX

And turn on the radio

thats how us ganstas roll
Wow...

Seriously, had Kaz gotten that pitch called… :(

Yankees are here so

Timmy has to talk about other teams/players that are not in this game. When does he talk about the sox?

when peter gammons is fellating him
lol good call he just did
I would like more productivity at the plate for the Halos Please !!!!
I wonder if Cashman is licking his chops watching Lackey
Fuck that charlatan Cashman!
Overated scumbag A-Roid, where are you?
He is sticking a needle in his butt right now
Fox having no qualms about jinxing John.
Absolutely none!!!
1 moar strike plz
haha

molina could’a done that!

Lackey on a salary drive right now

lol dont care as long as we get the win

Thats what John says as well

what a sense of relief it is to finally be playing with a lead, i was getting awful sick of hoping for rallies

It's easier for fans to root for the pitcher doing well

than their offense to heat up

hell yeah, it would be amazing if we could do this the rest of the season

I'm still hoping for them.
I'll second that
Come On BIG JOHN !
Thats a helluva a stop right there
Pull it back a bit, John.
jeffrey jeffrey jeffrey good work my boy
KILL MFY, KILL MFY, KILL MFY!
Sit down Jeter!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
WOOOO!!!!!

LACKEY IS FIRED UP!!! GO ANGELS!

And BOOM goes the dynamite!
Why do we have to keep looking at the melonhead Scott Boras??
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$IT DOWN
talk shit JOHN!!!!!!
Strike out the side

Way to be Big John

Box

Looks like the Yankees are packing it in and will try to wrap this up in New York.
vr, Xei

Go rot in hell MFY fan. LOL
K

let’s hope that this is not John’s last Big A performance as a Halo.

Fingers crossed.
+100000

we gotta keep him

Maybe he gets a save on Sunday?!?!?!?!
that would be terrific
Hell, let him start on Sunday.
nah

We will need him for game one against the phills

you know how much time there is before the WS
2 days rest? I'd rather use him for the 6th/7th.
Game 7 of ALCS is the 25th

WS starts the 28th

CALL LACKEY A NUMBER 2 AGAIN!!! WE FUCKING DARE YOU!!!!

I DOUBLE DARE YOU SAY NUMBER 2 ONE MORE GODDAMN TIME.

:P

I double dog dare you!!!
he said he was the 2nd best pitcher...and CC is better

man, if we didnt make so many mistakes in game 1 to get lackey off his game, we prob would be winning this series 3-1 right now

If the weather wasn't so lousy we would have definitely won at least one of those games.
weather is gonna be bad again

both of those games shoulda been ours, especially game 2, im never gonna let fuentes get that off his back if we lose this series

Now how many times is this they've shown this Chris Farley commercial?
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

BIG JOHN LACKEY FROM ABILENE !!!

Phillies loving this game so far arent they

Probably no big deal to them at this point. If you get Sabathia to pitch again, then they will be happy. But right now, the Angels are just keeping the Yankees sharp.
vr, Xei

banned!
Hah, that was fast.
Banhammer on his ass .

LIKE BAM !!!

make the redneck work now
I think he is uglier than lackey
Figgs continuing to struggle.
figgins back to his old ways

not good

maybe he gets it together

you can only hope

Figgy is still bad
oh figgins

good luck next year

lol well we know figgy wont be back…

No, you don't know that.
how come they always talk to Girardi?

i wouldnt be suprised if sosc was declining in game interviews

He does. He's busy
they would talk to Mike, but he actually manages
Sosh doesn't talk to them.
I know, he has too much self respect. the question was redundant :)
did Giradi just call Jorge Georgie?
dude we need to replace Juan with jason Werth, that guy is MONEY!!
phills

would never let him go

he is sucha steal, he is only get 2.5 mill

the phills would pay him

i think he was a first round pick by the phills. he’s an organization child

he has a 2 year 10 million contract right now signed in 09

He was a 1st round pick by the O’s, broke into the league in 02 with the jays, and traded to the dodgers

damn im off my game today

i still think he’ll stay there.
though he would be great

haha no worries

i definately have a fan crush on him, he is definately in my top 10 of fav non angel players

how about Matt Holiday?

just make sure he wears his jock/cup 24/7

Carl Crawford replaces Juan on the field

and figgy in the lineup

seal the deal please Ninja
he can do it

they have no money

and we can get s-rod back
i'll take

jason………………………bay

Did the announcers just say they like the move

of pinch hitting for molina?

lets go Bobby!
Bobby and Figgy have no clue thus far
had burnett not kicked the ball, it would have been a hit

figgins is still clueless though

why does gameday say "Jorge Posada remains in the game as the catcher" at the start of the 5th inning?

did he have a hissy fit in the 4th or something? (stuck in the office, can’t see tV)

he PH for molina
got it.

I’m a doofus.

Nuts. Nice try, Bobby.
I want at least 5 Runs
well Aj has settled in now
Bobby did leg it out pretty well
he should've taken his walk
What is Tim Mcarvers IQ????
It can't be any lower than Joe Shmuck
96.
How in the F does he have a broadcasting job??
Search me. He strikes me as low-average.
somewhere in the negatives
didn't he fail that test since he could talk?
Nice hit, Torii.
Way to be Hula!
Now McCarver with the self-promo
HULA DULA THE YANKEE RULA!
Torii! ♥
I'll take the two out hits

gets momentum for shifting, ups the pitch count

Time for a long HR by Vlad
yeahhhhh, bury that overated scumbag

Burnout Burnett

i guess i'd be ok with that.
How dare Hunter's hit interrupt his story!!!
haha i know seriously
Keep Talking about Posada V. Molina ya deepsheets

ignore our rally, please…

there's too much money at stake for both clowns
AJ's not letting Hunter go easy this time
PUHLEEZ

put a wrap on it.

Beer Beer Beer Beer Beer Beer Beer Beer Beer Beer Beer Beer BEER

BaBaBaBeer BaBeer BEER !

liquour and wine are also fine!
2 OUT RALLY!!!

Lets go Vlad

just pitch the ball AJ
damn Schmohawk...

throw the ball to the plate!

somebody punch AJ in the face
Pitch, ya worthless jerk.
Hunter's having some fun screwing with him.
Damn
FB right dwn the cock there and he missed it

pulled off it

Off the end of the bat

Vladdy just missed it

silly graphic

said 6ks instead of 7

oh thats why he paused
Way to count morons. 7 Strikeouts, not 6.
maybe it's because

one of them was against omgawesomejeter so it doesn’t count

wasn't that the BoSox score in Game 3?
important stat is

5 innings, no runs. Keep it up big John!

crap ugh Damn Damn
read it says 6...whats w/the pause
dinosaur attacks in the stands.
Vlad needs some Fountain of Youth Waters.
burnett pitch count?
69
what website are you using?
http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2009_10_22_nyamlb_anamlb_1
gameday slows me down so much
Both pitchers at 70-43 at the end of the last 1/2 inning
Dang Peyton Manning is like in every commerical it seems.
e

eff him he sux dck for drug money

i like manning

seems like he would be a cool dude in real life

he's pretty funny too

hosted SNL once. He does seem like he would be fun to hang out with some time.

hhaha concur, he seems way cooler than his brother who bitches after every play

OT: Im looking at getting a new camera

Any recommendations?

I want to be able to take good pics when I go to games
Talk to lady bug. we had this talk earlier in the season. Don't know what she ended up buying though.
Ok Thanks
fenominal

knows cameras as well

Tahitian Coconut Javelin
c'mon John 1, 2, 3
I just caught up live

Lets go Lackey!

big inning right here

Oh Golly

I sure hope it’s warm in NY this weekend.

it's not looking as cold as last weekend, but yeah, rain again saturday... :(
great weather is just so rare

it was 74 over here
sooo nice

it was SO nice today. ahhh.
best part

its still 60 degrees outside :)

we're so desperate.

at home, that’s hoodie weather.

yea seriously

but i wanted to take my girl to NYC tomorrow but its gonna rain. :(
I’m going to take her Sunday. I want to go to Highline Park and the MET then to a salsa club.

sounds like a good time. :)

high line is awesome!

i really wanna see it.

i was supposed to see it last friday but i overslept. should be fun :)

she goes there too?
yep

she goes to princeton. shes a freshman from Wisconsin and shes never been to NYC.

cute!
but she is scared of my halo infatutation

she watched game 2 with me and boy did i owe her

she's a trooper.

i think my bf stayed up, but only because we were at our friend’s place. heinous skankees fans on the train home that night…

the met would be a great way to repay her!

yea she was passing out

she is slowly turning into an angels fan

rainy everyday

but god its been perfect the last couple days

Keep the Yankees scoreless, Big John
come on JOHN do it for Branta!!!
Ppppppfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

a Yankee tellin’ the truth

Hit it long, but in the park... OUT!!
JR did something. OUT
I know we are up 4-0

but was the reaction to NOT starting HK as bad as I think,

and still playing Rivera as bad as I think??? Rivera has been his horrible playoff self and Izzy hasn’t done anything either.

I with you

on both points

Conspiracy

Does the Yankees throwing Game #5 fit into the conspiracy theory cartoon posted earlier today? You know, the umps trying to make it look good. wink, wink.
vr, Xei

Actually, the ratings game is only good when games are played.

So they want seven Yankees games this series.

The Twins just failed too hard to play along.*

*Sorry Twins fans.

:(

we was robbed by the umps!

True

MN not a big enough market for ad revenue. The Baseball Industrial Complex had to kill them off.

Exactly

I’m starting to see the conspiratorial light…

Scuzz bucket up next

aybar…..

ugh.

ugh indeed, ud love to bitch about him but he has so many crazy gems its hard to hate on him

he will make up for it later

YES HE WILL!, he isnt ready to go fishing, hes got another 2 weeks of baseball in him

2 hops offline isnt a good throw

good throw and he is out by a lot

why even pitch to him?
because there is 2 outs and your up by 4

and Lackey owns him in his career

but he is a roiding out at the plate right now

i would not throw anything close

Almost got him at 2nd
if that was a better throw he is out
Tim Salmon catches that
Tim salmon catches that

and hits a Grand Slam at the same time.

While eating steak and drinking beer.

while NOT having his cousin

stab him in the butt with steroids

Time Salmon throws him out thats a fact
Tim Salmon still would have thrown him out
or G.A. backs him up
Nah too far for him to even think about ruuning
Should've been nailed at 2nd
if i was aybar...

i would have tagged that piece of shit in the face even without the ball

that's kinda awesome
Sounds like he gets an erection when describing A-Rod
Nuts, almost had him picked off.

A -Rod has some crazy opfield power.

Hit Arod next time

whoever hte pitcher is, we need to get him scared

if you want to scare him

just remind him that everyone is watching and the whole team is depending on him

Agreed

can anyone make a call to the dugout?

Lackey is in love with that curveball
It has been working...
game 1 would have been closer had it worked then
one of his best pitches
well if he doesn't throw like 20 consecutive fastballs to start

Game 1, I doubt the Yankees score 2 in the first

Big strikeout here, John

Turn Godzilla into Mothra

or the geico lizard
lol

I like yours better

But not Gigan or Ghidrah
Kamikaze time Lackey!
Anyone else notice that gameday is sometimes ahead of the tv feed?
It is occasionally.
yeah same here

its like im watching to see what happens

If you're watching in HD, there's often some lag
am i looking at the moon

or a close up of matsuis face

just dont let it leave the park

Stike out already matsushi
Kung Fuey Matsui!

Foul CHOP

why walk THAT piece of shit?
cmon lackey

one more out

eh, Lackey didn't any part of Matsui

Just get Cano on a grounder

wow,,,,3-2 CB

dont like it at all

Missed that one. Might be time for a talk from Butcher?

man, after the dodgers lost yesterday i saw how sad people were on their blog, and i am definately not ready for the angels to go home for the season

imagine

how sad the YAnkees fans will be on Sunday!

oh how sweet that would be
1 thing at a time

lets get to Saturday

no bueno juan grande.
Walks make me barf
Joe Buck touches himself at the thought of Cano
haha totally thinking the same thing
Buck likes chocolate!
packed hard with nuts
you are on a roll
I guess it keeps A rod from running on the pitch
c'mon John just 1 more out
Let's See What Your Made of John

aite, cano sucks, lets do it lackey

easy on the cb's mathis
Does Boras purposely lean like that to make sure he is in the camera shot
Somehow that would not suprise me
he wants his own reality show
Damn near has it already
They should up the price on that box to cover his 20% on Holliday
Pop him up to Izzy right here
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Inning Over, No Damage
Aybar when you can just run it to the bag
BIG JOHN

Contract extension

cano sure changed the complexity of the game
LETS GO HALOS

Open up them bats on AJ

Joe Buck is saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad..............
he needs to learn to live with disappointment
he needs to learn to not live
keep it up lackey

WOOT, not as easy as you woulda liked, but ill take it. only prob is we are going to be facing the heart of the order in the 9th again

Time for some Soth Magic and manufacture a run
levi johnston..

seroiusly?

who the hell is that?
i had to google him

he’s the dude who got sarah palins daughter pregnant… wtf?

Jesus...

For some reason I read “paris Hilton” in there somehow.

Almost related…

he is going to pose for playgirl
Thunder mountain

Top 7th, last third of the game, here we go.

Yabusami

Horseback Archery!

Always a favourite
bro hug double back tap combo FTW!!! lol
c'mon K-Mo
yea hit a homer because you sure as heck know Juan or Maicer ain't likely to drive you in
Easy on tits

Tits are cool

yea I like Maicer

just he’s being misused, he should be Figgy’s replacement against lefties, not Howie’s replacement against righties.

his lefty swing ain't so hot
get it started K-Mo.
With as "vaunted" as the Yankees lineup is

isn’t 6 shutout innings in the playoffs equivalent to back to back perfect games against the Royals in the regular season?

Poor Zach Greinke.
Say that in 3 years when he's CC's Yankee replacement

pitch count

lackey – 85
burnett = 70

Burnett hasn't pitched his half of the inning yet.
Lets get moving again, Kendry.
I GOT A FEVER
me too. :(

kowbell cure?

had one 2 days ago

no bueno

Jeets has the swine flu
we're waiting, k-mo...
Take your walks!
Need more runs!!

4 runs is great, but we need more to be really comfortable. No more runners LOB, bring em in!

Lackey at 85 pitches

would it be a redicoulous stretch to take him out now and try to get him rested to start a potential game 7?

yes, that would be ridiculous

alright angels! lets get into that yankee BP and rough up joba!

Knock it out KMO
2 to 5 production way better
Lackey solid through 6

Burnett shut it down since the first… into the 6th.

Shocking.

Howie not playing is a fucking crime
mathis not playing last night was a crime too

rivera and maicer shouldnt be in there tonight.
but hey, 4-0 – cant argue with the results

with fire in their eyes and vengance in their hearts..

LET’S GO HALOS

Good AB from Kendry.
looking to knock Burnett out of this game single-handedly.
way to work it Kendry
New York Yankees of Cuba?
Let him be

Timmy has to say Yankees at least every 5 min, or his brain will ooze.

Andorra IS NOT AN ISLAND
ANDORRA IS NOT AN ISLAND
I beat you by ten seconds
Definitely not.
He meant

A small island surrounded by land.

Andorra is by no means an island

idiot

that off speed just aint fair
Crud, saw Burnett was leading him off the plate.
9 pitch AB

see that Juan

The ignorance of the so-called national announcers is astounding.

Andorra, land of fine wines
wtf Izturis

bring in Kendrick

No problem. No chance for a DP.
Aaaaand

Howie keeps positive by watching his replacement do jack, but hey, at least he hasn’t thrown the game away

a juan bomb would be nice
Izzy is done

dude swings at every pitch

Andorra, that lovely island in the mountains
time to bench juan

let hgh try

I think Izzy has FPS'd every AB tonight.
McCarver tried to look smart, and failed miserably

Are they reading us?

haha look at this dude
sniff the bat
HAHAH WHAT A BADASS
Is that Zu Long
whoa!!

someone is in the rocks. By the water!

wow how does that happen
An island between Spain and France?

What sea is that?

!?!?!?!?!?

Why are they showing him?!?!

thought he was wearing a red sox tshirt

common juan hit the ball to that guy!

GET THAT IDIOT OFF THE ROCKS

hahah that would pretty great to say you bathed in the rock during a playoff game

fox showing it??????

hahahahah

I am suprised they are showing that
Why are you showing him on TV?!
cause Fox is stupid
I'd like to be in the Rockpile
you have to go to Coors Field :)
I wish I lived in a country like America

but where people like that could just be shot no questions asked

But who would root for the Red Sox then?
i'm surprised they showed the guy
wtf

BENCH BOTH OF THESE CHUMPS

seriously

Rivera and Maicer are killing us this game, and for Rivera he hasn’t gotten a pick hit since the 8th inning of game 3 of the ALDS

Rivera was the worst hitter on the team last 2 months of the season

gmj brings more to the table and is great in the clutch.
know who else was great in the clutch this year? MATHIS
we all see what he has done in his chances.

Juan River just needs to not play baseball.
YOU FUCKING SUCK JUAN
that water probably felt refreshing
TWO HORRIBLE AT BATS

WITH HORRIBLE RESULTS
BY TWO GUYS WHO SHOULDNT BE FUCKING STARTING

my thoughts exactly

1 great AB followed by 2 shitty ones

not starting Howie is a crime against humanity
No this broadcast is
STOP SWINGING FIRST PITCH, Juan.
Rivera needs to sit and stay sat
He was showing his solidarity with rocky Andorra
Just go away Juan
ahaha at that doofus taking a bath in the waterfall
Reggie "OBP" Willits Please.
what is that newscaster wearing?

wtf too purple

rock boy heard about the legend of Thunder Mountain
you're here! yay. :)
yay! :-)
but now opie's gone. hm.
yes, it's a sign
always thought that was an urban legend
what happens at Thunder Mountain

stays in Thunder Mountain…..

unless it involves John Lackey

Rivera rewarding scioscia's loyalty

by continuing his sept+oct futility.

lol what does that say about GMJ, sosc must think he is terrible lo

love Juan, but gee, how about Q in lf?
Especially up against lefties the next 2 games.
Q will be the Game 7 hero
my feed died right then.

bummed i missed the rock star.

ew was that Chavez Ravine?

Home of the football team LA’s “Don’t give a shit enough to go see them”

What why was Papelbon on the rock pile?
if you can't beat 'em, join 'em...
Quebecois Unicyle Olympics

I particularly like the guy trying to toss his unicycle in the bin...

haha yea, but i dont think its worth going to jail for

Hey Ladybug

If your reading this, what kind of camera did you buy?

The manager of the year sits the hottest hitter in baseball, for the postseason

who really cares though, all hail sosh,

and starts their worst hitter for the last 2 months

5th, 6th, and finally 7th … but won’t bench him, Rivera is too important

yea if Soth was managing the Yankees the media there wouldn't let him get

away with not starting HK

hk isnt ridiculously better than izzy

not overall this year

but in the 2nd half you want to make that argument?

the 2nd half numbers disagree

as do the hits and loudness of the outs hk has put up this post season.
also, howie didn’t personally end any games with an error

nobody gives a shit in the media, and the fans are too insane to realize this guy does some stupid things.

we will win in spite of sosh (probably).

Did you miss the "Bitch Once" rule?
I must admit

I was relieved he was not wearing a Panther TeeShirt

lol, I would hope that we were all smarter than that
Or the classic

“we uncovered Rivera’s spitball secret” shirt.

relieved or surprised?
Angels think 4 is enough

apparently. Offense has shut itself down since the 1st inning. Way to many 1 pitch outs.

the Angels offense shut down since

Maicer and Rivera came to bat in the 1st…..

Aybar would have let it drop
it would have to be a game 7 walkoff homer for the angels for me to rush the field .
WTG Angels!

keep up the good work Lackey!!!!

/ btw Joe Buck BLOWWWWWSSSSS!!!

Melky is his own biggest fan

haha i know f that guy, he has been killing us tho

Abreu looked like he was going to cut that off at the 55

Kotch woulda had it

Man, good pitch

Just can’t get that guy out.

I missed it....

some moron yankees fan kicked out???

angel fan, sadly
shit, that's why they showed it

“LOL LOOK AT WHAT ASSHOLES ANGEL FANS ARE”

I would tase his ass

just to teach him a lesson

sad......

had to be an Angel’s fan…..too bad…

Look at OUR BIG JOHN!

ollie in the 8th?
AJ = hillbilly d-lux

Slick pickem up trucks!

Posada has no chin

i was about to say that :)
Posada has no genitals
To many years with that mask rubbing on it
was he in half baked?
he gave it to Lackey
hey does that guy go to jail?

he didn’t run on the field and some stadiums let kids run for balls on the batters eye…

officer discretion most likely

He earned whatever he gets

gets kicked out of the stadium

and not during a game are they allowed on field….

no field was involved
The pregame video states that

Climbing over any fence, either to get on the field, or in the outfield rockpile area, is trespassing

even to snag a HR ball?
scary time

come on get through it

announcers REALLY trying to jinx lackey
no its

just joe buck being a douchebag

all kinds of ways to see the catchers signals
they should want a 7 game series shouldn't they?

more air time.

DO up in the Pen and Jepsen as well
And also posting the stat about only 1 comback when dwn by 4.

pulling out all the stops

reminds me oof Vin saying what ge did about Ozzie Smith
relievers scare me.
big nose. small chin.

big nose. small chin.

wow that was a strike

Jepsen for the 8th

so it begins.....
lackey got squeezed there
Strike 3 looking, bs
Gameday says it was a strike
Great pitch.

Lackey is right.

uh oh calm down lackey
And there's your makeup call, Yanks.
It was right there

more bad calls

wow....gameday says definitely strike.
in steps the bad umping
REPLACE UMPIRES WITH MACHINES LIKE IN TENNIS!
Lackey was about to go all Serena Williams on the home plate up...

I swear to G-d, I want to shove this baseball up your ass…

THAT was a strike!
time for a timely DP
fucking jeter is up now shit
Fox doesnt give a shit if its a strike
Bring the robots

But unfortunately we have Monty Burns making 18 million a year who thinks most fans don’t want more replays. It has obviously devastated the NFL

lets see if the announcers start whining

about instant replay now…

Why would they defend the angels?
because they love the taste of yankee jizz
No, of course not.
We're gonna get screwed

im scared somebody hold me..

is anyone not surprised that the inning the Yankees threaten

is the inning after the Angels go down 1-2-3

Lets go, John. just pitch.
Joe Buck stroking himself HARD
shake it off Lackey
not this again john
Lackey is pitching cautions
no, john is pictching rattled

reminds me of young john.. shit..

Be cool John, be cool

crap. lackey u got pitch like ur not scared

terrible situation
Lackey needs to regain his composure
LETS GO BIG THUNDER
melt down......
John still thinking about that other atbat.
get outta this please
time for Cousin Oliver
dammit Lackey.....GET A GRIP
I hate when Lackey loses his cool.
maybe it was too good to be true
Gameday said all 4 of those were strikes
Come on John

Please get out of this

Settle down now, Thunder.
Ohhh...no bueno.
time for a DP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CMOOOOOOOON

you really want to end your season this way Lackey?
How about Angels career?

He’ll be back

I think so too,

but its possible that he goes. Even odds, I’d say.

Oliver pitches to Tiex

get a dp johnny, teix is too due

wont be easy doubling them up
Go for the out at the plate.
Bases loaded

Pull him please

BIg John will do it

why does it seem like he does this every game?

after a blown call

Gotta get your head back in the game, John.
please dont let damon beat you.
Double FUCKING Play
DPDPDPDPDPDPDP
Come on, Lackey, shake off that bad call
Lets do it John
DPDPDPDPDPDPDPDPDPDPDPDPDPDPDPDPDPDPDPDPDPDPDPDP
Why yes as a matter of fact, i AM bitching about that strike zone

umpire is a coward.

lackey always gets off his game when call are blown

2 OUT

milky almost tagged out

OH! Almost got him!
Man that woulda been a sick DP
Figgins

with the Je-tah like instincts.

THAT is why Rivera is in Left.
Q could have.... :)
yeah

if that’s not cut it’s in boras’ suite

good play boys

good play

has to pitch to the idiot now
fucking figgins crappy throw

alert but sloppy

Aybar needs to learn how to drop a knee
on his fucking face
Thank you Juanny Cannon
standing O great job John

Wow...he said.

This is my inning. Good job John.

Lackey:

“Are you shitting me? This is MINE.”

That was a little sad.

He wanted it. Bad.

BIG standing O for Lackey

wow that worked out nicely, but we’re ot outta danger yet

LET LACKEY PITCH

Lackey about to get paid.

Don't worry, John.

The Angels hold on and you get the win.

J.R. with the bazooka

THANK YOU , JOHN!!!

Lackey = Gamer

He didn’t want to come out. He wanted to finish what he started.
Love it….

Suicide Horseracing
I bet lackey

really wants tex

You did good, John. Don't sweat it.
Then there goeth Lackey, into that gentle night.

Thanks for being a Halo all these years, Big John, if we don’t get the chance to see it again.

He's bringing in Speier or Bulger right?
ehh??

speier? you kidding?

GOD DAMNIT LET HIM FINISH THE INNING
I don't usually join in on the in-game threads

I need to give them my undivided attention.

John pitched a doosy when we needed it

A tip of the halo to you

i love it!

“are you SHITTING ME SOSH? this is MINE!”

I didn't see

are we out of the inning?

i'm sick and told myself i'd go to bed by 10 (Eastern)

But I just can’t do it.

Can’t wait to see you again, Big John.
