Too easy

Over, Yes, Yes

Under, Yes, No

we will be too busy kicking their asses for the announcers to have time to verbally stroke the sox,

that is….of course if big John can nut up and win.

under - yes - no

although the first one is subjective, no?

this one the whole thing is subjectiv

…he was SCRATCHING his nose, not picking it…

sorry, long day.

missed that the first time. lol

Soth picks at pimples on his chin and neck, never picks his nose.

 over – no -yes

Over-Of Course-Yes

OYY

Over - Yes - No

One thing the national guys are fascinated with is the Rally Monkey.

Over-YES-YES

No Google spreadsheet?

tbs <3 red sux?

OVER – YES – YES

we fly flags…

Over. No. Maybe, but only if they're on a cute girl.
Correction: if it's on a cute girl.
Are there any pictures of Torii that are not good? Because he is just about the most photogenic baseball player ever.
He's the ying to John Lackey's yang
Must be.

The first time I saw Lackey I thought he was nearly 30 and was puzzled when the announcers kept referring to him as a youngster. His voice is a surprise, too.

His voice is kind of hilarious

I’d like to hear him when he gets pissed off

Do you suppose it gets higher when he gets mad?

If he were singing I’d say he “swallows the tone”. That’s kind of what he does when he talks.

If it got any higher..

there would be broken glass nearby

No, I bet he has a miraculously fine singing voice

just like Gomer Pyle!

Over-Yes-No

After that statistic somebody pointed out last year where over the 3-hour broadcast they spent a total of 14-40 minutes talking about the Angels, I would say WAY over on that first one!

Picks

1. Waaaaaay Ovaaah

2. Yes- better him than me

3. Yes- the monkey will be too busy getting off our backs to be seen on TV.

over--no--yes

can’t find google link

Under. No. No.

Lets upset ESPN and take the BoSox in 3.

WAY OVAH-Yes-Yes

I just hope when they focus on Mike digging for gold, they notice Terry Francona and Peter Gammons going at it like two lovestruck teenagers in the visitors dugout!!

OVER - no - YES

I think Soth will be on his best behavior and, considering this is a TBS broadcast, there will be TONS of shots of those damn Boston hats ( the only three in the stadium) OVER and OVER and OVER again.

Over - No - Hopefully Not

And God help us all endure the misery that is a TBS postseason baseball broadcast. I am hoping that ESPN uses their own radio feed for the overseas broadcast. I may become downright homicidal if I have to listen to Buck Martinez for more than 15 seconds…

Get GameDay Audio and play it over the TV announcers!

That’s what I’m trying to do!

The Dodgers/Cardinals broadcast was'nt bad.

The NYY/Twins broadcast was a little over the top Yankee biased.

over, yes, yes

ftmfl doesn’t count when angels win. ftmfw.

Trivia

Voted by the fans in Los Angeles.
What is the Greatest Moment in Los Angeles Sports History?

Kirk Gibson?
Winner.

Foot note: Mickey Hatcher was Gibsons replacment in that series. He batted 368 with 5 RBI’s and 5 Runs scored.

Adam Riggs' "ANGEES" jersey?
I believe it was the '84 Olympics.

I think that Gibson came in 2nd (though the Lakers were probably in there too).

it has to be something with my Lakers

they run California flat out

Over, Yes, Yes.

“Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! I <3 Josh Beckett!!! Is he single? Oh, just do me Boston!!” -Some ESPN asshole.

On #3, we’re not gonna need the rally monkey cuz we’re gonna kick some major ass and not need a rally.

Over No Yes

Funny anecdote from last night: I made a big pan of homemade lasagna for dinner, and the Li’l Dude, who tends to be a picky eater like most 6-year-olds, asked me, “Does lasagna taste good?”

Thinking of the Howards’ ads, and trying to inspire him to try it, I told him “You know who likes to eat lasagna? Mike Scioscia!”

He immediately responds, deadpan, “Mike Scioscia looks like he likes to eat lasagna!”

My wife and I almost lost it.

Playoff Trivia

Under, Yes, Yes

Halos’s to kick ASS and screw up the announcers

Never seen Scioscia digging, he merely teases the lower end of the nasal septum with his thumb and index finger.

over, yes, yes

Angels win 15-3 making it all the more baffling when the announcers get their Boston love affair on full bore.

Over==Yes==Yes

win!!
