Time to Nut up or Shut up....
That movie was actually pretty damn awesome.
Itd be cool if they wouldnt show the entire movie in the trailers.
That's from a movie?
I thought that's what Lackey just said to Ortiz.
1 more inning, thunder.
Complete game shut out
@ladybug

i had it until now – if i can figure out how to get it back i’ll let you know

click on "sync"

above the batter’s head. :)

I got it...it took a while to kick in

whew I’ve tried MLB during regular season and always ended up cancelling it due to too many blackouts

this is awesome!!!!!!!!!!

feels so much better than last year, wish nick could be there with them

ortiz bay lowell

time to get nasty

the only powermat

is our “power” matt welch.

Don't forget

Mat “Rev” Gleason!

keep on track Big John
LETS GO HALOS
lackey....

you cant leave that pitch that up to papi

1, 2, 3 Lackey... you can do it
Fresh thread

get fucked Boston

see how middle up those two pitches were????? SSCCCAAARRRYYYY
yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSs
wait ump i didn't strike out

haha

sit down, ortiz.
Can you say slow bat speed?
time for some juicey juice
papi batting 5th

is wonderful for the angels

STFD papi... ur roids are in the locker for you
Ortiz had no chance
Lets go in Anaheim
Swinganamiss by David
stuff still good
Howz the post season beard goin this year?
post-season moustache...

and it is in full-on child molester mode right now

ZIP

Pre-Roids that would have been outta here.

Roids-don't try this at home kids.
no- there attitude is just dont get caught.... deny till u die
Seriously, they should make a commercial out of Poopi
Lackey ! `

pitching a freaking gem

matching Cliff Lee

from last night’s game.

the curve ball is nasty
still throwing in the 90's
oh man

the sixth inning, I hope, was john lackey realizing “I do not want to have that one terrible inning. I am going to sack the hell up”.

Ortiz

See ya papi smear

Who says Lackey's no ace?
i do

but this performance tonight, has been dominant. something he hasnt been in a long time in a playoff game. he’s been good, but tonight, he’s the ace the angels bill him as

Lackey holding up his end of the deal.
BACK TO BACK Ks!
I LOVE

it when the batter knows he just struck out looking.

I love

it when a plan comes together.

Like a true A-Team

looking.... back to the dugout homo!!!!!!!!!!!
Lackey

beasting with back-to-back Ks

I'm concerned though

that the umps will get together tonight and decide that they need to even things out with some calls against us tomorrow. They made some big screw ups tonight.

Yeah, but did those botched calls really affect the game?
the butterfly effect

If nothing else, it’ll be all anybody talks about on ESPN.

Sit DOWN son.
MOLEd
is that

for Lackey’s mole face?

yah

its beautiful, and might be malignant

K2 for Big John

what is the nba?

Curves like a Cat's Claw Baby!!!!!
NO SHUT DOWN OLLD MAN LOWELL
Who's grandpa wandered onto the field?
ouch

somebody toss Lowell his walker so he can get back out to his position.

CB gives a call their way
Token call
had to happen

I’m just hoping he doesn’t have any left in him

The only long-ball guy I worry about is Bay.
Drew worries me
fortunately

they’re playing in a real park tonight, not that crackerbox.

Lackey in a ZONE>>>>>
Big Texas size pitches
easy up easy down
standing ovation for Lackey from me
7 shutout innings
You GO, big man.
1-2-3

For Lackey

7IP

0 ER

BOOYAKASHA LACKS

Lovin' the "Boston Sucks" chants
time for the nails
Bring him out for the 8th
Big Game John Lackey

Welcome back, it’s been 7 years

Does Big John return for the eighth?
after that inning, hell yes!
If we score some more...

maybe. Otherwise it’s Jepsen

I don't know - 108 pitches. that's a lot
a lot in pussified reg-season baseball

this is the post season, dont change a damn thing and let the guy get his CG in a contract year

suwooooop

lackey will pitch the 8th
Lackey cant spit, he is so pumped up
haha

I wonder who got that

(besides me?)

Lackey

already faced his test today. He was weighed, he was measured…

and he was found WORTHY.

Great outing from Big John. Now the bullpen needs to hold it. A couple insurance runs would be nice!
MATHIS + Lackey = yay
true grit

Lackey hung in there and finally got some run support

Big John is in 2002 form!

He already knows he’s going to win this game

now lets PRAY fuentes doesnt give it away
Lets pray it doesnt go to fuentues
Guess we'll just have to SCORE 5-6 more times then... :-D
wouldn't that suck

if your doctor said “you’re not healthy enough for sex”?

Yes
Even Worse

You here for your proctology exam.. and im a Red Sox’s fan.

ouch

and you saw a “Number 1” foam finger in the corner ….

and knowing its a redsoxs foam finger.

It probably is covered in semen.

haha finally joinin the GT3 party haha
the mole

just sealed the deal for a fat check.
and finally did what i have been begging, ZEROES

Let's Go Angels!

I think I would DH Gary Matthews Jr. tomorrow instead of Vlad.

bite ur hethenist toungue!!!!!!!!!!
he is overcome w/emotion and knows not what he speaks of
What no luv for Naps?
Rivera probably sits

although i’d be fine with vlad riding pine, starting right now

Hair restoration for everyone!

Put it on my tab.

only cuz Hudler said so
No play for Mr.Gray!
ramon ramirez in
when was the questionable "Safe" call at first?

did that runner score one of the 3 runs?

no
RAD
:) just wanted to re-check before i ran my mouth at a friend (he's from connecticut, another boston.ny identity crisis)
wee!

Finally, I can have my pubic wig!

5th inning

- E. Aybar doubled to left
- C. Figgins sacrificed to pitcher, E. Aybar to third
- B. Abreu walked
- T. Hunter homered to deep center, E. Aybar and B. Abreu scored
- V. Guerrero popped out to first
- J. Rivera doubled to left
- K. Morales lined out to shortstop

3 runs, 3 hits, 0 errors

Panda Express

almost as bad as the BLACK TACO ads… almost

As my wife points out

Pandas are herbivores.

So, yeah.

I think

they had an ad revolving around that fact… but can’t recall

JUST HIT MUTE YO
WE OWN THEIR ASSES NOW!!

GO HALOS!!!

lets go halos..... make them pay now!!!!!!!!!!!
6 more outs, 6 more outs, 6 more outs
Bullpen for the Sox.

Lets go Chupa.

Insurance runs please!

I don’t trust Fuentes in this game

This is Lackey's game.

His signature.

He ain’t signing until this one’s over.

Lackey will go 150 pitches if he needs to
Righty on the hill

I think we can get some runs across the plate

do you guys agree that the Sox have a deeper pen
Unfortunately

yes

yeah, but Oliver, Santana, Jepsen, and hopefully Bulger is not bad
Not bad at all..

It’s just SO important for our starters to go at least 7

Like I said...

outside the closer? We’re superior.

But the closer

is a very important piece

Maybe.

But maybe not. As you say, the 7th and 8th are key.

Also, you forgot Palmer.

Who has been nails from the pen.

Not sure. I guess we'll see now
i admit nothing w/these bums
Absolutely not.

Outside of Papelbon, our pen is actually better. Oliver and Jepsen > their guys.

Bobby chatting it up with Joe
John Lackey

12 yards long, 2 lanes wide,
65 tons of American Pride!

Jooooohnnnn Laaaaaaaackeeeyyyy!

Top of the line in professional sports,
Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts!

Jooooohnnnn Laaaaaaaackeeeyyyy!

lets go bobby!!!!!!
Keep on takin', Bobby.
does bobby even need a bat?
103 RBIs

Says yes

ramirez looks like shit
BOB-BY BOB-BY
that was not close!!!!!!
3-2 Abreu. Bobby has grown on me so much this year. :)
Bobby keep taxing the pitch count
another walk!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4 walk for Bobby
Abreu is freaking amazing
bobby is hilarious
wait wait

just saw the red sox first team against angels since adenhart
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zVirKG7IKo&feature=related

ROFL

0/0 for Bobby

Gotta steal here
at least hit and run
make him pay torri!
Abreu

no official at-bats have never had more of an impact on a game.

Is there a special name for someone that takes 4 walks?
Keep on walkin' a long, Bobby.
Lets steal a base
havent seen tori react like that

since the borowski walk off slam

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
fuck that!!!!!!!!!!!!
FUCK THAT SHIT
intentional hbp?
that was a message
Oh FUCK these people
YOU MOTHER FUCKERS!
we need to respond!!!!!!!!!!

don’t think that was intentional, can’t be, they have more “class”

aka dripping in sarcasm
It's on Donkey Kong!
see you next year fools

somebody gonna eat one in the dome piece

got to get the runners going to keep out of dp
Lackey is DRILLING someone next inning
let's hope not, take the W and go home
Disagree

Drew takes it in the ribs. You gotta protect, and show that we won’t accept that shit.

Think Lackey...

…. not even going to say it.

Double steal on these assholes
sox pen

way to go dudes

maybe time for Vlad to wake up

Typical

Bahston lowlife shit.

now vladdy will make him regeret that!
Chickenshit mutha's!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't hit Torii you jackasses
....seriously boston? seriously?
Dustin Pedroia gets my vote for revenge
Man, if John is out there next inning.

Someone’s HEAD is coming off.

SMASH THAT SHIT, VLAD!
MAKE THEM PAY, VLAD
PUSH HIS SHIT IN VLAD
WHAT THE HELL

CHANGE YOUR APPROACH DOPEY

Vlad looks terrible
that was for celebration. let's make them pay!
no, hit youk.... top his night off
I WANT TO SEE YOUK ON A STRETCHER AFTER HIS NEXT AB
2x bobble= everybody safe!!!!!!!!!!!
karma, karma, should have been a dp
SUCK IT RAMIREZ!
YES

Karma is a BIIIIIITCH

Butterfingers!

haha

THERE WE GO!
revenge of the bobble head
NOW

A GIDP SCORES A RUN

KARMA KARMA KARMA
How much are we paying Ramirez??????

LOL

baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaases loaded
OH SOMEONE CAN'T HANDLE THE PRESSURE
Lets go in Anaheim
Take it any way you can get it Vladdy
Nice game, asswipe
KARMA!

loaded.

HA HA , Ramirez is a LAA HOO ZEER!!!!!!!
bases loaded with no out.... they are SSSSOOOOO FUCKED!!!!!!!
would've been a DP
I dunno

Looked it would gone into center for a single to me

maybe

CB has been feeling us at 1st base

Only if Ramirez makes the play.
Also-can't blame that one on the umps.

That was Red Sox defense all the way.

single!

lol

build off of that “hit” mr cleanup hitter

These cleats are made for walking,

and that’s just what they’ll do

one of these days these cleats are gonna walk all over you.

MATHIS + Lackey = yay
Blindy Mcsightless in the booth

Gave Vlad a hit.

a double play ball to me
I love Ol' blindy some days. :)
his goal

is for every player on the angels to win a gold glove, and hit 350

A worthy goal.
Let's make Fuentes unnecessary!!
PLEASE let that happen!
Johnny Rivers please cap this night off with a big fly
wasn't he

in the Rat Pack?

They changed that to a single?

Since when could Vladdy get an infield single?

what it is a single?
when...

it’s off the pitcher’s glove. that’s about the only time

now they need to picnh hit napoli
I want my first one to be a Slam
AGAIN

SO THIS IS HOW IT FEELS
3 run homers
gift hits
gift calls
and an ace putting up zeroes

yes, much more fun on this side
yes, this is how it feels. I'm not going to get used to it though I think it's a one-time gift
Also

Red Sox choking defensively, while our gloves make the plays.

Holy hell...

look at all the edits to CB Bucknor’s page: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=C.B.Bucknor&action=history

Chowds gettin’ antsy!

can u see what the changes were?
someone's jealous...

wow that is great

"worst umpire ever and is blind as a bat" LOL
This is amazing.

I love the one that says "C.B. Bucknor (The B stands for “Blind,” and the C stands for “Can’t See”.

3 more runs for us,

umm
my posts are fucking up

yeah TAKE THAT, Ramirez
oh them lucky Angels of La anahiem
Things are becoming more and more clear:

Re-sign Lackey, re-sign Abreu, and get rid of Vlad.

don't forget

Figgy!

maybe Abreu will sign for cheap…

Figgy's situation is tricky.
lets go juan!!!!!!!!!!!
Cmon Juan.

How about our first Grand slam being right now?

SAITO THOU SHALT BE OUR BITCH
let's open it up!!!
Easy there, Juan.

Get them runs.

Come on Rivera

GET SOMETHING GOING

come on rivers

dont k or pop up

or dp
643 gets a run in
yep

and of course, a walk is even better…..

settle down and shake him!!!!
Johnny Rivers

can do it

Screw the slam.

Just the hit.

Moonshot Rivera pls
Get that ball in play, Juan.
how did he almost swing at that?
Antsy

Feeling the pressure

If Rivera doesn't slam...

K-mo will

yeah get a extra insurance run or two

is bucknor the ump related to the bos sox player of yor?

since cb is black i am bettin no
saito is a bitch... look how nervous he is
such a fucking pussy
hes about to get tagged.... watch and see...
how long do these fucks get between pitches?
as long as they need, its boston... rules bend for them
with men on base

as long as they want

they get a lot of time with people on base.

it’s when no one is on base that the clock comes out.

throw the damn ball
Rivera with the bat sniff
id prefer a bat lick

a’la Jesus from the big lebowski

Nobody f's with the Jesus

just get a base hit, we wen the whole season without a grandslam nows not the time to swing for the fences

really no grandslam?
where is everyone

it is after midnight on east coast, and i have to meet the governor at 8am, what’s ur excuse?

Uh...count the topics bro.
Iowa, going to work at 445 am...central time.
east coast checking in!

i’m fading fast, though.

Oxford, UK

Currently 5:11am

6:12 in Karlsruhe Germany
rivera is either going to chase an offspeed

or dong a fastball

juans gonna tap that ass....

god damn he is the slowest fucking pitcher!

Slower than Lester?
look alikes

dustin pedroia and giovanni ribisi

World's Longest At Bat
god this is awesome.... this is how boston must have felt last year!
game is far from over
Bury these bastards!
CRAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
total bullshit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Worst possible outcome.

wowriver way to suck it

damn!

double play!

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUccck it is interference

what the heck was that?
Ugh. Wtf was that?
Damn it, Rivers.
Worst thing Juan could do.

Useless.

rivera how fucking hard is it to drive the ball

World's Worst At bat
Look back to Vladdys masterful ab/

With the bases loaded

What the hell? How slow is Torii?
Nuts.

He tagged it

Torii was totally safe
Torri was safe

shit

hunter had it beat!!!!!!!!!!
Bad umpiring this game
at least we got most of the gifts from poor calls
Torii was safe.
Well, there's a gift call for the Sox.

Back to 2-2.

Dula CLEARLY safe

we’re clearly clear on the calls, now…

at least it was triple play
these announcers are fucking stupid

“Torii Hunter has to be led to the dugout”

ummm jerk, he walked by himself!?!?!

we got screwed on that call

well, he was safe, but the umpiring has been bad on both sides.
Someone start some Wiki revising
worst umpiring crew

EVER.

No effect on the game yet.
Torii did a delayed tag like GMJ

and looked safe, but what goes around comes around.

Just in the wrong order

make them pay k- mo!
Torii safe, actually.

Oh well, the blown calls have atleast been even.

a little Kowbell can fix things here
K-Mo

your bat can show up now….

getting kind of old comparing you to tex

vlad and rivera should not bat back to back

rally killers

2- run double

come on

BULLSHIT call

at 3rd AGAIN

yeah the umpiring has been terrible this game
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Bad plays by the Sux.

Watch Basstun assplode

alright cuban pete, just swing for the fences, the umps are on bostons balls

...and now we get the hit.
hit the post too soon

I’ll take the runs though.

yeah baby!!!!!!!!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
5-0.... fuck off BOSTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
K-MOOOOOOO!!!!! IN THE CLUTCH!
oh yeah

500 runs

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
YESSSSSSSSSS

!!!!!!!!!!

Cheaters never prosper!!!!

YAHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KOWBEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLl
Juan!!!! Nice Kick!
DO YOU BABY!!!!

DO YOU!!! WOOOOOOO OIFJO3JFW4GJA3W4IOJ4YA9JA43.AG AGJEH\PEROOPR’POKJESE’PJOHR

vlad not running hard

thank god rivers kicked that throw

awwww karma is sweet

oh helss yeah......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kowbell!

And Rivera running through a stop sign!

YESSSS

Kendryyyy MORALLLESSSS

KARMA KARMA KARMA BAM BAM!
thats the shhit we need.... boston looks terible
NICE ARM BAY! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
good base running by Juan
Can I just say Fuck ESPN
yes, you may!
Even with a disputed call

still get 2 home – panther

That is how it's done
Vlad almost got us no runs by not hustling.

….but it worked out…..weeeee!!

damnit!!!!!!!!! we got greedy
cut down at the plate

Nooooooooooooo

meh....totally out at home

throw batteries at drew

LOL
he deserved it in philly

i hate drew (and rolen for that matter)

Damn.

K-mo can’t run

damn.

That was a perfect throw.

Perfect Block.

He didnt get close

way to hustle K-Mo

2 out rallys is what we do

whatever, 5-0 should be more than enough room

Infinity is not enough
Nice hit, Kendrick. Out at home.

Morales should’ve dropped a shoulder

5 -0 is comfortable going into the 8th
So, yeah Drew has an arm.

Bay doesn’t.

Nice block by V-Mart

:(

Oh well, 5-0. Keep sittin' em down, John.
hold your breath on that play

don’t need any stupid injuries

unless it's boston injured
Can't get em all

But I’ll take the two we did get!

that was a great

plate block!!!! looked like sosh in the old days!!!

amazing block indeed.

gotta give props to that.

Yeah just have to give credit for a great throw
way to get runs with 2 outs
great game

but vlad deserves a benching for lack of hustle and lack of homeruns :O

A shutout will go a long way towards

shutting up the doubters.

Sorry

reply fail

well played by the Sux
K-Mo isnt exactly the swiftest angel...
except on his home run trot
Joe asked the crew to screw with the calls

so his controlling of the zone won’t get noticed.

at least it's been fairly consistent all game though
K-MO with the AMMO!
my dog almost bit me cuz i yelled at the tv when torrie hit that last one, and i woke her up.... damn dog
sounds like lunch tomorrow
Wow

You’re really in exile. Well, we’re here for you.

Lackey is back!

think we’re a few seconds ahead of broadcast?

they showed him warming up.

MLB is really goofy tonight

Man, Howie's gotta be like

I ground out twice and am safe, then get a hit that ends the inning… I’m so confused right now…

lol

hk-47 will take what he can get so long as its big league ball right?

kendrick 3 hard hit balls tongiht
K-Mo should've pulled an Erstad

Make them play creaky old Varitek

Rather we don't risk K-Mo. Especially since I'm sure he's next up on the Ol bean list.
potg might just be abreaus patience
him or torrie, or buckner.... funny that another buckner is fucking the sox
They are completely befuddled by his non-willingness to swing at bad pitches.

He’s the perfect player for our lineup that way.

we look greeat tonight!!!! hope we can keep this momentum thrugh tomorrow
Morales. Morales. Morales.

You defied Castro. Mow the stupid mutha over. Make him try and wake up with the ball still in his hand.

Haaha he would have won no doubt.
I'm all for Lackey coming back out and love seeing dreamgames unfold...

but is this REALLY smart for game 1??

yeah, I just don't know either
who is pitching?

the next inning?

looks like...

lackey, still?

One assumes John is done after this inning.
get him out nowwwww
time to pully john.... let your boys pull you home
Kotchman sighting
Come on Lackey

Get this double play

Get the DP John.

Whoa, Kotch sighting.

Kotchhhh!

I love you no matter what uniform you wear.

welcome back Kotch?
Kotch!!

K him out!!!!

settle down and killem john!!!!!!!!
Kotch, a DP would be great.
Id like to see oliver

then jepsen close it.

Dude we need to patented Kotchman weak grounder to second for a double play
Kotchman, be a friend to us!
Super secret double agent
oliver will come in
Kotch

hit a DP like you did so many times when you played for us

hey Kotch

good to see ya.

now sit back down

kthnxbye

I feel a DP coming on....

Kotch can’t run for shit.

there goes the dp
Kotchman!?

It’s always sad to see a good man play for the badguys. Like in The Mighty Ducks, when Charlie Conway suits up for the other team. The Hawks, right?

That is so backwards

but there is no time to correct it

no no

 kevin banks suited up for the good guys

Adam Banks

cake eater

You are right.

It’s been a long time since I’ve watched the movie. But thank you.

fuck you mathis......
where is that Mathis Defense damnit
good thing we have mathis' defense
Home plate ump's gotta get in front of that one

Make an effort man, come on!

STFU announcers.....
goddamn it get it together

Mathis quit crossing it up

howmany pitches for lackey?
Should we let Kotch have a homerun for sentimental value?
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Does Bucky know something we don't know?
great play figgy!
figgy is freaking great at third base
Holy crap

Figgins is amazing

hahaha ok figgins

whatever works

sportscenter called.... number one play just picked!!!!!!!!11
no comeback tonite , Buck
wha happened?
That was the craziest play I've ever seen Figgins make
Thanks for being Slow

Kotch … great late season pickup

Drunken Master Figgy!
FIGGINS!

Walkin’ the tiight rope!

good job john!!!!!!!!
thanks Big John

this bud is for you lackey

Big John.

Nobody seemed to know what John would throw
He just walked to the mound where he stood all alone.
He didn’t say much, kind of goofy and shy
And if you spoke at all, you’d just said hi to Big John.

Somebody said he came from The Mountain,
Where he hooks up with ladies under The Fountain.
With a heave and a hurl from a huge right hand,
sent the Boston fellas back to the cursed land.

they played that before soem Lackey starts at the Big A in 2004

HE went 0-5 when they did and they stopped.

We are bustin' a lot of curses tonight, man.
LOL

that is great!!

A TEAR FALLS FROM MY GANGSTA EYE
now im in trouble w/the wife for singing your song, thanks!
Then you are in serious trouble.

I have the next four stanzas re-worded and ready to go. I just need to get through the last three lines of the final stanza and my re-write is complete!!

Great job, John!!!
You stand up for that man, Halos fans.
GREAT JOB LACKEY!!!!!

THIS IS GOING TO BE A GREAT POSTSEASON! WAY TO START IT OFF RIGHT, JOHN!

now lets all say a prayer together for the bullpen
+6
AH

WHY DID YOU PICK THAT NUMBER

5-0 +6 = 5-6!!!!

The meek shall inherit

Amen.

Our Father, who Art in Heaven.

Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done. Please let the bullpen be good.

Big John brought it today
and got the bat support!!
tip of the hat to ya lackey!
our father, who art in the bullpen.... srikeouts be thy game....
Great game from Lackey
Damn

I wanted Lackey 2 put 1 in the ribs of any sux except Kotch.

Patience young one, patience
thats what a 100 MPH pitch from Jepsen is for
protect and serve

then wave flags

nah

fuck that.. Lackey should have done it.

yeah thanks TBS for the props for Lackey

if it were Lester going 7.1 innings, they’d be lavishing praise until the commercial cuts them off. with Lackey, it’s “and the Angels crowd gives Lackey an ovation….”

lame.

typical coverage of the angels
but ya know what??they are gonna have to say THE ANGELS WON!!!
thy halos come, the wins be done, by relievers as shown by starters
im all for bud light

but is golden wheat for the people who cant pronounce hefeweizen?

give this day, our daily sox ass whoppin, and forigve those mother fuckers for thinking they could screw with us
Rec'd for awesomeness.
CLAP-CLAP-CLAP-CLAP-CLAP-CLAP-CLAP-CLAP-CLAP-CLAP-CLAP-CLAP-CLAP-CLAP-CLAP-CLAP-CLAP

For Big Thunder

let's go Cousin Oliver
Kotch woulda hit into a DP for us....

if Mathis hadn’t screwed it up by letting Drew get to second.

Always the team player
and lead us not to showers, but to world series glory..... AMEN!!!!!
Come on Cousin Ollie

You’ve been the rock in our Bullpen!

angels have given up 93 runs in the 8th and 64 in 9th+

the red sox have scored 108 and 57 respectively

baseball-reference.com has turned regular folk into stat monsters
yup :-)

just thought it was really interesting and in case anyone was wondering

but i don't abide 100% by moneyball
Did they announce the attendance yet?
I haven't heard it on tv or radio
Hall of Famer Rod Carew

HEY ROD. How about you go into the Hall for the ANGELS.

how about ryan
weakest team selection ever.
Caaaarewwwwwwwwwwww
nice block by mathis
i hope eveeryone recited the prayer with me.... now lets hope the bullpen heard it
Oh man, that was NASTY...
Now Misters Weaver and Saunders

know what is expected of them/

Yahoo sucks and I can't watch online

I know we are up 5-0 in the 8th. Who’s pitching, and how many outs please?

yeah baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2 down!

only 4 more outs left!

Figgy

Nice play

Figgins to Drew:

“YOU STAY THERE .

Figgins

has to win a GG this year

should but predictably won't
As should Aybar.

Torii will be the only selection, sadly enough.

No 2 out of 3 They have to.
That's right

Hit it to the best glove on the field.

2 down.

Stay frosty over there Figgs.

darren oliver

what a wonderful bullpen arm

he has really found how to be a good relief pitcher, better now than at any time in his career
Steinbrenner is salivating over Figgins......can we match the offer ?
shut pedickhead down!!!!!
what are jinxing rules?

stop saying x more outs, or angels +in, no jinxing

We called Rubber For Life back in '75

so we’re good

que?
Standard Jinx defense

Since were Rubber it bounces off. For Life.

Weren't you ever 9 yrs old?
pay oliver to keep him for at least another year
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
HOWIE!

yesssssss

thank you baseball gods!!!!!! one omore inning.....
one more inning!
Nice catch, Howie.

More runs is always good, Angels.

Through 9.

PILE ’EM ON BOYS!

Er...8

Used to be able to count…

whhhoooooooooo!!!!! gooangels
you da man . OLLie
MORE RUNS

its ok to be greedy

you know what?

I think that this game is exactly what every angels fan needs. Right now. This game.

Hell Yes
this is what EVERY body

needs….sooooooo tired of hearing about the great rojo sux and how jinxed we are, blah, bla, blah…….

exactly! couldn't agree more

but wait until Mr. Autry sings

espn, the yankees game is not the evening game…the angels play later

fuentes please shut them down!
fuck that.... let olly finish!!!
need to save Oliver

for tomorrow night

how come

now one talked about the gact that we went 37-17 against LHP this season?

gact=fact
A guaruanteed fact

A gact. We got it.

Who should pitch in the 9th?

Palmer?

Jepsen
Good idea, let him get some post season expericence
Jepsen or Palmer -- either one could use the experience
That would show the Sux something. Here , our middle reliever for your weak ass bats!
lets beat that ass...... i want tears from francona!!!!!!!!!!!
this is a different season..

with a different outcome

espn and east coast sports writers tell me its the same season though...

im confused.

and as sosh says

“different variables”

now lets pray for the bats to demoralize them.....
Jesus, the Chowds over at OTM

are bitching about how Ellsbury isn’t the player they thought he’d develop into…

HE HAD 70 GOD DAMNED STEALS THIS SEASON

yeah, dude is always a threat.

regression to the mean

who else besides Matt UK is up at an ongodly hour?

he is PANTHER

Well...all of us, actually.
he's up at 5:30am
alost one here on the east coast for the military transplant fan loving this shit!!!!!!!!!!
ungodly to me

but i’m kind of a wuss.

I get up to go to work in 4 1/2 hours.
I'm an atheist, all hours are ungodly ;)
Not ungodly

but it’s 12:30am here in NY

well it is 12:43

and i am meeting the governor tomorrow at 8am

Is DE Nationals territory?

is there such a thing?

nope

people here root for the phillies (mostly) and orioles

and then the transplants for the mets (mainly), yankees, and these chowders

Get some sleep.

Say Hi to the Gov for us.

LOL poor C.B Bucknor's wiki page is closed due to vandalism

REd sox fans bombed it

Classy as ever
read some of their submissions...

just exude class, they do.

my favorite was when they said he was legally blind and was speaking at the Helen Keller Institute
that's kinda stooooopid
agreed but i lol'ed
funny in a patheti-sad chowdah way!
HHAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Poor Sox fans

It sucks when you get screwed by the Umps. It really does.

I recall a game in Fenway, not too long ago...
In my day they made bad calls against us!
That's 'cuz your a geezer. You go all the way back to the regular season!
It's hard to keep up in the Internet Age
Damn

not like its a long page anyways….

In their defense, that guy really is the worst umpire in baseball.
Though neither of those blown calls cost them any runs

The Torii “out” call at 3rd, however…

how do you rank last 2 years running

and still have a job… in the postseason nonetheless

Makes no sense to me.

I barely know any of the umpire’s names, but I swear I always catch that guy making terrible calls. He really sticks out like a sore thumb.

There is NO defense for Sux fans whining about umps.
i think he is getting revenge for bill
so who do you think pitches the 9th? Oliver?
soshs mancrush fuentes
maaaaaaaathis.

maaaaaaaaaaaaathis.

well that was a predictable mathis AB
Mathis had no chance

with that cheese

"easy cheese" f-in dorks
45,070 in attendance
Wow

isn’t capacity like 45,050?

angels.com

says about 45,050

Bah

need more folks at that stadium!

How many high dig tickets on stubhub, ect.

went unsold?

wasn't the dodgers game not even a sell out?
Yup, 56,000 last night, only 51,000 today.
we should do that to the boston sux wiki page....
fuentes please shut them down!
Why all the talk about the 9th?

EIGHTH AINT OVER YET BABY.

YO MOMMEEEEEEEEE

you still lurking???

I lurk

therefore I am…

check your email
nothing there from you
sent it
nope...

last thing was bill & sam

sent it at 9:38
damn...... two quick outs.... not what we wanted
damn....90+ backdoor slider and 98-100 FB....tough combo to hit
shit hes got a hot heater
Jepsen throws just as hard
Bard hits consistent 98 and 99 Jepsen hovers around 96,97 not much difference
gee buck is he the next Nolan Ryan?
Yes. He is magnificent. Hey, what's the score again?
sort of reminds me of Verlander where it doesn't look like he's throwing hard at all
let's go desmond!
martinez took that shot in the mouth like a champ.... wonder if that hgappens often in that clubhouse?
these announcers couldn't be less excited

about this game.

cause they are boston announcers
The Sox aren't winning.

They seem disappointed.

I think that Ramirez

has an infinite ERA right now.

Technically it's infinity x 2. :P
Aleph-one

(math nerd alert)

Or

Cardinality of the set of Real numbers

-1. From the perspective of John Wallis, not SBNation.
ok, c'mon guys hold them.
gee, saw that coming
Alright. We have the lead

Don’t give it up now.

was fuentes throwing in the bull
This guys throws so hard and it looks so easy.
I'd be more upset if we weren't up 5.
Now nail them down.

No daylight. No mercy. Just the big donut staring them in the face.

SHUT OUT BABY!!!!!!
yeah... we need to nail this shit down!!!!!
beyond baseball.

“They play their hearts out, for nick.”

wow tbs is gunning for us

LET'S DO THIS!
Aw man

I get teary eyed when I see this Beyond Baseball commercial. :(

yeah its a good one
Would alternate jerseys be too much to ask for tomorrow?
which ones

sleeveless or all red

Weaver tends to go with the sleeveless.

As I recall, the team lets the SP make the choice. Escobar always went with red.

good call... olli is doing great!!!!
wait

it doesn’t look like a sell out

finally an angels commercial first time for me
surprise

they have an Angels and Twins commercial

Man, I had forgotten that catch by Juan.

How did that stay in his glove?

Cousin Oliver still out there.
hold them down big buddy!!!!
Also,

what the HELL was that Avis commercial? Really..

Fake fan.

For a second there I got excited. It looked briefly like he put on a Boston cap.

I didnt even notice the "R"

I just know its a RedSoxxs hat

i know that shit was retarded
Where did THAT miss.
Oh.

Three inches off the plate. Okay.

Just off, apparently.

GD and K-ZONE agree.

good call, close, but not quite there
I think TBS's pitch tracker has been off all night
that was a strike earlier for lackey....wth
Lost my signal for awhile there

chowds getting back

come on, boys.

let’s wrap this thing up!

that was strike 3
is that Scott Boras in the dugout seats?
he is alwys there
Okay... what the hell?
at least he is consistent in not calling it
He was calling it earlier in the game!
Getting squeezed there
Not a strike, Darren.
Still not a strike.
I think that pitch trax is rigged
Hey Buck, we used to have another lefty in the bullpen

His name was JC Romero. He sucked. Then he went to Philly, and you spent last postseason fellating him.

way to tell it torri!!!!
You tell them Torii
lots of outs going to kendry
pop up!

wooo!

Torii, you’re my favorite guy to listen to as an Angel.

Um, TBS?

The time to play your stupid interview clips is in the first three innings, not with 1 out in the 9th. That’s your free advice for the day, you’re welcome.

TORII = PANTHER

HA HA!

why do they keep showing that fucking stat!!!!
Trying to convince themselves it means something

As the actual Angels team on the field is whipping their team.

throw strikes Darren
C'mon Ollie

Get the outs

PLUNK HIM! PUT ONE IN HIS FRIGGIN EAR!
^this ^ this ^ this ^ this
No. Read my lips:

 No. More. Base Runners.

Somebody needs to answer for Torii
I like to see zero

on the big board.

Torii would agree.

Pull it over, Oliver, you're missing outside.
dude....no pre-calling the panther
Clearly

our starting pitching has been what’s failing us in the playoffs recently. idiots

not the weak ass hitting
listening to game on radio...

what did Torii say?

he told the media to eit it.... its all hype
oh christ.... buck is still sucking off the sux starters...... im goona go heave
i think lackey showed his caliber today
hmmm, our starters aren't the quality of Lester and Beckett?
So far this series, they are not.

Lackey is SUPERIOR. Not same.

"May not be the same quality as Beckett and Lester"

Oh my god, what are you SMOKING?

Obviously not

Since Lester hasn’t allowed any runs….

Wait, what?

6.1 inning, 3ER vs. 7.1, 0 ER = 3ER is BETTER!

This is why people say the education system is broken.

obviously, Lester threw a no hitter.

therefore he is better.

To be fair

they were talking about all 4 of our starters. Still a pretty stupid statement.

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
TBS being forced to show Halo love in the 9th.

All those BoSux worship clips are being left stale on the DVD’s because of the score. Too embarrasing to play them now.

yeah man!!!!!!!!! two down!!!!!!
ONE MORE OUT! ONE MORE OUT!
1! MORE! OUT!
the sox are toast now
Arte is a FAN

clap clap!

Finally , gonna have some pleasant dreams
Arte sighting!
papi looks so cute when he swings so hard... shame he sux now.....

“Arturo Moreno”….what happened to Arte????

tbs doesn't know him as Arte...

CLAP CLAP CLAP!!!!!!!

Good job, Angels.

“Angles out in front”

ANGLES?? REALLY?

People do that a lot.
I know but

they’re media professionals.

(it's possible that as one myself, I hold them to a higher standard.)
POTG angels baseball

lacking in the postseason until tonight.

I'm going to be there also.
we are in lower view just over the plate
I am so pumped at this win.

I was so nervous my stomach hurt all day long.

My stomach hurt, too...

I’m glad to hear I’m not the only person who that happens to.
