Got my Pale, IPA, Double IPA, and the lighter stuff for the girls. Pizza, Guac, Chips Crackers.
I am Stoked!!! There is no way Lester shuts us down again. This game is going to be awesome!
for us the key is the first batter….if Lackey can get Elsburry out its huge! remember last year he doubled to lead off i know he didnt score but i have to agree with ESPN on this one
2 out of 3 of you are calling game 1 of a 5 game series a “must win.” You realize what “must win” means, right? and that if you lose and then win game 2, it will be tied?
But yeah you’re definitely right that the key is the first batter, forget the other 40 AB’s. They don’t matter.
How about the Boston bandwagon for bizarre? Most of your fanbase couldn’t name 3 guys on the Red Sox. Hell most still think Manny is still there. You believe in curses like a bunch of back woods idiots scared of voodoo. Boston woman look like truck lot lizards or freaks from the circus. Boston fans have no class and they infest stadiums like cockroaches. I could go on forever. But instead I will just say enjoy your cold world series-less winter.
however, it is a must win. If the Sox win game 1, the team is thinking (along with the fans) “Here we go again…”
If we win game 1, no matter what happens in game 2, I still think the Halos win the series. Coz then the pressure is on the Sox to win both in Fenway and the Halos are thinking “we only need one of two” and are playing more relaxed.
If the Sox don’t win both in Fenway, we come home for game 5 (and subsequently win).
I’m rooting for you guys to beat the BSux. If there’s anything worse than them it’s the hated yanquis. I hope both our teams win and prevent either one of them from advancing. Besides, I would love to see Torii play in the Dome one more time!
Napoli will pinch hit, if needed, in the late innings. And it’s not like Napoli was on a huge tear for the last two months like last year. He was okay the last week, but the month before that was brutal. He had a .300 batting average at some point in August.
in an unfortunate turn of events for the Red Sox, Abreu gets his revenge on a line-drive come-backer that hits Beckett and knocks him out of the game. Beckett is fine after the incident but is DONE for the remainder of the 2009 postseason.
Losing Game 1 at home puts the Angels at a huge disadvantage — one that will be hard to overcome. I hope Lackey is on tonight. I’ll be at Game 1 and 2, rooting like hell for two victories. Go Halos!!
Can’t wait to see how the game threads are for this game … if I can’t be at the game in person, I’m glad I get to be here with the rest of you crazy people!
I have serious butterflies in my stomach for tonight … can’t imagine how the players are feeling!
If you want to satisfy your Anaheim vs Boston urge, the Ducks start playing the Bruins at 4. Though if you want to see Anaheim defeat Boston you will probably have to wait for the Angels game.
…if you are smart! Bring a Big Gulp cup or something. On playoff night, I doubt any of the good folks with the Anaheim PD will be bothering anyone before the game. Put one down for us unfortunate fans who live too far away to attend a Thursday night game. I’ll be glued to TBS at 6pm, though, living and dying with every pitch!!! LETS GO LACKEY!!!
There are others out there with nerves like me. Hell, we’ve got 2.5 hours until the first pitch! Represent us well all you Halo fans going to the game, drown out those sorry B chowder heads!!!
Hoist it high! Put a picture of Pedroia on the ground and step on it! Do vocal exercises to get yourself ready for the yelling you’ll be doing when Kendrick gets the big hit. Hoist another one. We’re living it through you man!
All wearing the same douchebag pedroia t shirt, distressed Boston cap and cargo shorts. I had to hold my tongue…. I don’t want to be thrown out this early.
Nice. I just got banned over at "Over the Monster"
And all I said was:
“Angels are GOING to win. The Red Sox had a good run. But it ends this series.
Enjoy your winter."
They come over here slinging there shit, but can’t handle it when we do the same to them. What a bunch of douchebag babies. The good thing is it’s the first comment on that post. I couldn’t help myself. Had to leave those arrogant, pricks something.
I just want to congratulate all of you guys. WE made it! WE’RE in the damn playoffs, and we worked hard! so let’s show’ em what we got! This is for you Nick! LETS GO ANGELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But they look like they’ll have the game en español on ESPN2 in the Sports Bar… So I may not have to pay $200 to follow gameday on my phone…. But that’s only if I can stand to stick around with all the pink hats in here with me…
the College is right next to a High School, so if my class was at the College then I would get Internet. But since Calis budget cuts my class is at the high school and there have no free internet.
It's NOT OK. It was gonna be hard enough listening to a team
that knows next to nothing about baseball and is pre-disposed to pull for the Sox. But having THEIR announcers call the game? Disgusting. I HATE the media. >:(
I’m about to suck it up and buy one of these packages to watch games on teh interwebs. Any advice about which one I should get? As annoying as the commentators are, I want to hear the play-by-play in case I happen to walk away… I can’t figure out whether the $10 package has audio.
It tried to tell me I was blackout restricted last night and then said it was going to redirect to Gameday Audio…but that was when I inadvertently clicked on “Mlb.tv” instead of “Postseason.tv,” which wasn’t blackout restricted so who knows…I also had a GameDay Audio package to begin with from the regular season…so let me know, too, what you find out!
The first time I clicked on postseason.tv, after the window loaded I got a message that said game was blacked out (wtf?). Closed window, clicked same, loaded fine. Remains to be seen about the audio tho.
Wow, Holliday drops the ball! The choke energy has now been used up for the day. No more HK errors will be necessary to satisfy the choke Gods. WE WILL WIN!!!!!
Tomorrow night I have to watch the game while I’m also running the Keck telescopes remotely. Using the world’s largest optical telescopes? Not as important as watching the Angels play.
Leaving SD for the game right after school/work gets out
and I can’t freaking wait!
Go Halos!
GA4Ever - October 8, 2009
Every game in the playoffs ...
is a a “must-win” game – especially in a short-series.
When you’re in a race to win 3 games out of 5, it’s VERY important to win Games, 1 2 and 3.
Just asked the ’82 Angels who blew a 2-game lead to the Brewers (blegh); or the 86 Angels, who blew a 3-1 lead to Boston (RIP, Donnie Moore)
Grichfan - October 8, 2009
They didn't win any Games 1 in 2002
but it sure would be nice to crush the Sux with a sweep.
rspencer - October 8, 2009
+1
Still think it is a must win though
hauldog - October 8, 2009
Well, it's a personal must-win for me
because otherwise I’m gonna have a stroke.
rspencer - October 8, 2009
Me too!
I very well might!…Or a heart attack!
Clutch - October 8, 2009
Would you people stop bringing up '86!
That NEVER happened. As far as I’m concerned there was no baseball that year
GO ANGELS!
KingF15h - October 8, 2009
"Enjoy The Silence..."
Sure hope that’s the theme for Game 3 in Fenway, not Game 1 in Anaheim.
Downing Rules - October 8, 2009
and YES ...
this is a BIG GAME so big, I’d call it a “MUST WIN” game. Set the tone. I expect nothing less than a 15-run margin of victory for the Halos.
Downing Rules - October 8, 2009
I will be there… so yes, it is a must win. I expect us to have a 7 run lead by the 3rd inning.
daze - October 8, 2009
17 -2. Sounds about right.

It tastes like when Vlad blasts grand slam!

Unfortunately, Ed in Northridge threatened to do likewise. Think about you and me, that is. Ew.

I know that it will save us all
When everything’s dark
Keeps us from the stark reality
I’m waiting for the night to fall
When everything is bearable
And there in the still
All that you feel is tranquility
There is a star in the sky
Guiding my way with its light
And in the glow of the moon
Know my deliverance will come soon

Twins fan here
I’m rooting for you guys to beat the BSux. If there’s anything worse than them it’s the hated yanquis. I hope both our teams win and prevent either one of them from advancing. Besides, I would love to see Torii play in the Dome one more time!
Good luck Halos!

CF Torii Hunter
DH Vladimir Guerrero
LF Juan Rivera
1B Kendry Morales
2B Howie Kendrick
C Jeff Mathis
SS Erick Aybar
RexTookMyStash - October 8, 2009
Napoli will probably pinch hit for Mathis in the late innings.
44FAN - October 8, 2009
That's what I assumed
What about vlad in the clean up spot. Hopfully he’s ready to break out of his playoff slump.
RexTookMyStash - October 8, 2009
Yeah, hell of a slump
7 for his last 15.
.467 Avg
1.112 OPS
UK Halo - October 8, 2009
I don't blame Scioscia for starting Mathis
Napoli will pinch hit, if needed, in the late innings. And it’s not like Napoli was on a huge tear for the last two months like last year. He was okay the last week, but the month before that was brutal. He had a .300 batting average at some point in August.
Gorbachav5 - October 8, 2009
Besides
Napoli WILL get the start against Beckett and hopefully hit another home run.
ryanfea - October 8, 2009
Naps won't face Beckett...
in an unfortunate turn of events for the Red Sox, Abreu gets his revenge on a line-drive come-backer that hits Beckett and knocks him out of the game. Beckett is fine after the incident but is DONE for the remainder of the 2009 postseason.
Downing Rules - October 8, 2009

AlanFalcon - October 8, 2009 via mobile
Is there an open life boat?
And nearby civilization?
WiHaloFan - October 8, 2009
The game starts in 1 hour and 20 minutes...
and so does my class :(
SenorChuckles - October 8, 2009
skip it, baseball is more important :)
tanana40 - October 8, 2009
How long is your class?
Maybe you’ll only miss the first 3 innings.
TheOptimist - October 8, 2009
fucken ends around 9 30 :(
SenorChuckles - October 8, 2009
I assume that's Pac time. Yikes.
TheOptimist - October 8, 2009
yup 9 30 PT
and the professor doesn’t take attendance until the end of class so I cant leave early, attendance is part of the grade :/
SenorChuckles - October 8, 2009
that's a drag.
tell him you are still waiting for your doc to call with your H1N1 test results
ladybug - October 8, 2009
i'm a professor and I had a Twins' fan show up for the last 30 minutes of my Tuesday night class
what could I say, it’s baseball
tanana40 - October 8, 2009
your probably a chill professor.
SenorChuckles - October 8, 2009
props to you!
Funke5ive - October 8, 2009
You're stuck, my friend. Have the Radio pre-dialed in to the station
broadcasting the game in your car, with luck you’ll catch the last inning.
TheOptimist - October 8, 2009
710 ESPN is what it comes down too.
SenorChuckles - October 8, 2009
810 klaa
tanana40 - October 8, 2009

angelsfan777 - October 8, 2009
Wow cant believe I forgot about KLAA
Does anyone know if Chris Berman already call a game today?
SenorChuckles - October 8, 2009
Called the phillies/rockies
Thank god.
BruinHalo - October 8, 2009 via mobile
hes one of the few ESPN people I like.
along with Tony from PTI and Scott Van Pelt.
SenorChuckles - October 8, 2009
are you allowed laptops? got a cell phone?
technology is here for a reason!!
ladybug - October 8, 2009
Well...
the College is right next to a High School, so if my class was at the College then I would get Internet. But since Calis budget cuts my class is at the high school and there have no free internet.
SenorChuckles - October 8, 2009
Wow, a 630-930 class and there were no rooms available at the college?
Screw. Job.
TheOptimist - October 8, 2009
I had a 545-1000 class :-(
red floyd - October 8, 2009
its bullshit but what can you do.
SenorChuckles - October 9, 2009
I have no class
Just ask my friends. Wait, I have no friends.
I wonder if it’s related?
WiHaloFan - October 8, 2009
I'm a bit infuriated
dont know there names, but the boston tv play-by-play and the radio color are calling the game tonite. ON TBs. what the heck
AnaheimHalos61 - October 8, 2009
...Are you ****ing SERIOUS?!
OMG. I’m going to be sick.
TheOptimist - October 8, 2009
it's OK....for the jinx believers... hope it's a HUGE jinx!!
ladybug - October 8, 2009
It's NOT OK. It was gonna be hard enough listening to a team
that knows next to nothing about baseball and is pre-disposed to pull for the Sox. But having THEIR announcers call the game? Disgusting. I HATE the media. >:(
TheOptimist - October 8, 2009
I do too...I'm just saying I hope they jinxed it that way
they have to announce the ANGELS WON!!!
ladybug - October 8, 2009
Well 1-2-3 inning for the LAD.
SenorChuckles - October 8, 2009
ONE more hour
angelsfan777 - October 8, 2009

Slyintine - October 8, 2009
Two goals for Selanne
Look’s like there’s some great Anaheim over Bwahston mojo at work tonight!
Quad Fin Rider - October 8, 2009
we'll take all the mojo we can.
angelsfan777 - October 8, 2009
A sign of things to come?
SenorChuckles - October 8, 2009
He needs a hat trick.
Slyintine - October 8, 2009
but who will throw the hats if he gets it?
SenorChuckles - October 8, 2009
I will
:D
Slyintine - October 8, 2009
Hey Furcal, can i haz hit?
SenorChuckles - October 8, 2009
you want the Dodgers to win?
angelsfan777 - October 8, 2009
yeah I dont like STL.
bases loaded for the Doyers bot 8th.
SenorChuckles - October 8, 2009

angelsfan777 - October 8, 2009
Kemp just choked with the bases juiced!
Quad Fin Rider - October 8, 2009
man he had shitty D in game 1.
well its time for class, see you guys later.
SenorChuckles - October 8, 2009
there goes their best chance of winning this game.
SenorChuckles - October 8, 2009
klaa 810 pregame show is on (online or radio) for those of us who are waiting and nervous
tanana40 - October 8, 2009

tanana40 - October 8, 2009

angelsfan777 - October 8, 2009
Glaus with a long out to right center
tanana40 - October 8, 2009
Manny Vs. Franklin.
This oughta be interesting.
TheOptimist - October 8, 2009
about as interesting as a fly ball to center
Quad Fin Rider - October 8, 2009
Manny does nothing - again
angelsfan777 - October 8, 2009
postseason.tv advice
I’m about to suck it up and buy one of these packages to watch games on teh interwebs. Any advice about which one I should get? As annoying as the commentators are, I want to hear the play-by-play in case I happen to walk away… I can’t figure out whether the $10 package has audio.
Advice?
Gracias in advance.
cath619 - October 8, 2009
I don't know for a fact
but in my experience all TV packages have included gameday audio as well.
rspencer - October 8, 2009
I just got that email. It's 9.95 for all post season games.
do you have the number to call? you can ask before you pay..866-800-1275
ladybug - October 8, 2009
thanks!
calling right now.
cath619 - October 8, 2009
let inquiring minds know
I may do it too
ladybug - October 8, 2009
on hold now
but i’ll definitely share my findings… i’m just skeptical because it’s not spelled out explicitly in the postseason.tv description.
damn, i wish i had a tv right now.
cath619 - October 8, 2009
ok
guy who sounds like he’s 12 says that the postseason.tv package includes tbs audio.
here goes!
cath619 - October 8, 2009
I think it does
It tried to tell me I was blackout restricted last night and then said it was going to redirect to Gameday Audio…but that was when I inadvertently clicked on “Mlb.tv” instead of “Postseason.tv,” which wasn’t blackout restricted so who knows…I also had a GameDay Audio package to begin with from the regular season…so let me know, too, what you find out!
Clutch - October 8, 2009
weird
The first time I clicked on postseason.tv, after the window loaded I got a message that said game was blacked out (wtf?). Closed window, clicked same, loaded fine. Remains to be seen about the audio tho.
I’m so excited!!!
cath619 - October 8, 2009
this is a SIGN!!!
I am home alone. Beer in mug. Hubby took the kids hiking.
Peace. Tranquility.
ANGELS!!!
ladybug - October 8, 2009
Cool
angelsfan777 - October 8, 2009
Hubby & kids aren't there to cheer on your team?
don’t you ever work the Mom guilt angle?
Quad Fin Rider - October 8, 2009
are you kidding?
them leaving IS cheering mom!!!
you can’t see me doing the happy dance!
ladybug - October 8, 2009
Can I imagine it?
The happy dance, that is.
WiHaloFan - October 8, 2009
Wait!
I read that back and it sounds creepy. Not meant not be.
Okay, maybe a little.
WiHaloFan - October 8, 2009
from anyone else....creepy. From you....expected!
ladybug - October 8, 2009
Whew.
WiHaloFan - October 8, 2009
Nice! Congrats on tranquility!
Gotta get the kids in there rooting for the Halos too, though!
Clutch - October 8, 2009
oh hell
the 4 yr old’s latest quote:
“Mom, take me to baseball Angel”
ladybug - October 8, 2009
awww
sweet!
cath619 - October 8, 2009
definitely spring training next year
I think he’s finally OLD enough!
ladybug - October 8, 2009
big error
tanana40 - October 8, 2009
Monumental error
rspencer - October 8, 2009
My desire for Matt Holliday in the offseason just dropped 20 points.
TheOptimist - October 8, 2009
ditto
tanana40 - October 8, 2009
His sack just dropped 20 points too.
WiHaloFan - October 8, 2009
30 more minutes...
I’m so excited
angelsfan777 - October 8, 2009
About what?
Is there a game tonight??
WiHaloFan - October 8, 2009
I think so...
some team from back east an a team from anaheim called the ANGELS are playing. Might be good
angelsfan777 - October 8, 2009
Anaheim. . .
isn’t that near Knott’s Berry Farm?
rspencer - October 8, 2009
yeah I think so.
angelsfan777 - October 8, 2009
No, it's near a good Mexican joint called Fresca's
ladybug - October 8, 2009
really?
(are we there yet??)
ladybug - October 8, 2009
do you ever think how strange it is, that a game is so important to us?
tanana40 - October 8, 2009
sometimes.. but NOT today.
angelsfan777 - October 8, 2009
beat me to it!
hell no!!
ladybug - October 8, 2009
yeah, I know, the Angels are in my DNA and blood somehow
tanana40 - October 8, 2009
yup
angelsfan777 - October 8, 2009
I'm just kidding.
I’m about to climb the walls waiting for this to start!
WiHaloFan - October 8, 2009

Quad Fin Rider - October 8, 2009

tanana40 - October 8, 2009

‘cause he’ll be singing the blues.
rspencer - October 8, 2009
ha, good one
tanana40 - October 8, 2009
crap
doyer fans are screaming
angelsfan777 - October 8, 2009
Wow.
Matt Holliday’s name just became mud with St. Louis fans.
TheOptimist - October 8, 2009
Anyone know...
are they passing out rally towels at all the games this year? I hope not at ours I want Thundersticks…. gotta make noise.
angelsfan777 - October 8, 2009
I heard Thunderstix--though I can't be sure!
Clutch - October 8, 2009
I hope so - going tomorrow.
angelsfan777 - October 8, 2009
see if you can blog from the stadium, that would be great for those of us out of state
tanana40 - October 8, 2009
I wish we could get a report from somebody at the stadium
tanana40 - October 8, 2009
franklin v. holliday
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - October 8, 2009

angelsfan777 - October 8, 2009

tanana40 - October 8, 2009

angelsfan777 - October 8, 2009
Doyers won
angelsfan777 - October 8, 2009
Holy crap!
Whatta game for the Dodgers!
WiHaloFan - October 8, 2009

Quinlan's Goofy Swing - October 8, 2009
lots of ... not kit if
the hell am i typing
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - October 8, 2009
Holliday got handcuffed but it wasn't that tough of a play
tanana40 - October 8, 2009
Dodgers win.
Boy, what a blow to St. Louis. 2 outs, about to even the series and your star acquisition drops a routine flyball.
TheOptimist - October 8, 2009
their two cy young candidate starters
dont lead them to victory.
series over
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - October 8, 2009
To be fair, you can't pitch much better than Wainwright did.
TheOptimist - October 8, 2009
That must be how Lackey felt like last year
Big Bad, 'Vlad'! - October 8, 2009
Yeah.
TheOptimist - October 8, 2009
oh i know
but i dont think too many ppl predicted dodgers taking both of these
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - October 8, 2009
WHAT A CHOKE!!!
Wow, Holliday drops the ball! The choke energy has now been used up for the day. No more HK errors will be necessary to satisfy the choke Gods. WE WILL WIN!!!!!
Big Bad, 'Vlad'! - October 8, 2009
wow.
Franklin is that game’s BOTG
vlad IS my man - October 8, 2009
I gotta say Holliday. Game over flyball drop and suddenly everyone's got life again.
TheOptimist - October 8, 2009
loretta was career 0/15 against franklin
so of course he wins it lol
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - October 8, 2009
well,
even w/ what Holliday did, he also hit a HR. In addition, Franklin should of closed the door…
vlad IS my man - October 8, 2009
well it's time to get everything ready. you have 20 minutes.
They have saved the BEST game for last so.. GO ANGELS
angelsfan777 - October 8, 2009
so holliday
drops the game winning out, and has left how many on base?
yikes
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - October 8, 2009
He did hit a HR to give them their inital lead, but yeah. Ouch.
TheOptimist - October 8, 2009

holliday took that fly ball off the nuts
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - October 8, 2009

tanana40 - October 8, 2009

RubixsQube - October 8, 2009
QUBE!! long time no see
how’s the world of astrophysicism?
ladybug - October 8, 2009
Good.
Tomorrow night I have to watch the game while I’m also running the Keck telescopes remotely. Using the world’s largest optical telescopes? Not as important as watching the Angels play.
RubixsQube - October 8, 2009
Priorities.
You got ’em.
WiHaloFan - October 8, 2009
sounds very cool yet so geeky and yet so halo-esque!
LOL
good to see ya!
ladybug - October 8, 2009
I just blasted two Home Runs and won 6 to 4 in a hoe whiffle ball game, wearing my Angel's Jersey.
Unequivacally predicting a Halo Victory. And I am going to Light it Up!!!
Big Bad, 'Vlad'! - October 8, 2009
Hoe whiffle ball?
