Word to the Sosh for the great pinch-running, bullpen calls

mattwelch - October 9, 2009 reply

honestly

as soon as i saw HK coming out, i knew things would be great

+ 1

HK wasnt fucking around.

+ 100

The fact that Sosh has used DO for the majority of his bullpen calls is great. Hes the veteran with playoff experience. Good Job.

THIS TEAM IS DIFFERENT.

Zu Long - October 9, 2009 reply

hahah every blog needs its trolls

angelsown3417 - October 9, 2009 reply

I could not possibly disagree more with that statement.

Trolling is a douchebag move, no matter who is doing it or why they are doing it or to whom they are doing it. All trolls should be banned. No exceptions.

Zu Long - October 9, 2009 reply

Agreed

Completely agree

This is not true

linkbruin - October 9, 2009 reply

Yeah, don't be an ass

If you want to discuss baseball over there, that’s one thing. But don’t go over there just to rile them up. Who are you to determine whether they “deserve” it?

Trolling is bush league. Just celebrate over here with your fellow halo fans.

+1

Indeed :D

Listen to Zu...

we still need one more win buddy….take it easy on the “season is over talk”

The 1982 and 1986 Angels agree.

XYZ123 - October 10, 2009 reply

EXACTLY

Trolling is fun.

When trolls come here I think it’s hilarious. Interaction with the other fans is fun. It’s like ribbing your friend who likes the other team. I wasn’t vulgar. I wasn’t obscene. I gave a simple “We are gonna beat you” kind of statement and I get banned. That was totally weak.

Trolling is a stupid word for people who are taking blogging way too serious. I like rivalries. It’s part of the fun of liking a team. And besides I think it’s the first time I “trolled” a teams site. And with all the times I’ve seen Over the Monster over here talking smack, they were due a little ribbing.

But whatever. The P.C. Police are out in full force so I guess the internet is not as free as I thought.

Monkeyspanked - October 9, 2009 reply

It's free

it just reflects poorly on HalosHeaven and Angels fans everywhere. Win with humility and class.

the anarchist in me believes you

but the site moderator who spends an hour a day dealing with troll issues wants you to taste the blood of the victims of your apathy.

"Enjoy your one win"

said last night’s Sox fans.

Angels season ticket holder since 04. I move to Seattle last month and its finally happening. Watching on TV….its still so satisfying. I just wish I could walk out into the parking lot after tonight’s game and hear what excuses the Nation is making now.

There were no excuses

Only Angel fans celebrating. The “fan” you speak of all bailed during the 7th inning.

there were no excuses

they were silenced in their seats. They tried when youk got the double but they were silenced.

The parking lot was filled with Angels fans still using the Thundersticks and honking their car horns to LET’S GO ANGELS!!!!

It was so sweet.

It was LOUD AND PROUD. The last game I enjoyed this much was the 11-0 game agains Texas to clench. But this win was and still is SWEET.

One of the ushers told me that a BosDONE fan wanted the usher to make the Angels fan around them to stop using the thundersticks. They said it was too loud. And they don’t use those in boston. The usher told them they are not in Boston… HAHAHAHA. I was telling the usher we don’t want rally towels… we make noise – our team feeds off it and so we will use it.
I wonder if Boston will have “rally towels” or something that makes noise?

Go Angels let’s take this in 3.

A Drunk Group of Chowds was saying this at the 3rd base gate as Angel fans were leaving Game 1

Being so inebriated, they just wanted a scrap. But everyone just walked by laughing.

9 AM sunday start

has seriously thrown a wrench into my plans of watching the game at the bar.

MIght have to dig deep and channel my inner alcoholic.

clover_black - October 9, 2009 reply

only if the Dodgers lose tomorrow

if the Doyers sweep, they move the game time to late. do we root for the other team???

i hope we play the dodgers, ws win over the dodgers would be the sweeetessttt

still cant believe how they won yesterday

no kidding.

as soon as Holliday dropped the ball, i figured it was over

was it me or was every Angel outfielder holding the ball super long after a catch....

Its like they all saw Holliday’s messup and made extra sure to take care of buisness. Bobby was even two-handing shit.

i hope they can pull it off tomorrow

it isnt going to be easy in St. louis
but if they somehow beat em with carp and wainwright on the mound
they can certainly finish em off

Bars are open for football...

at least on the west coast

Oh, bars are open alright...

im just saying, watching the game in HD at home with a hot java in front of me sounds mighty tempting now I know its a 9 am start…

Angels ERA in 09 post-season:

0.67

brilliant

So long as our starters

go 7+

Chowd ERA in 09 post-season

5.06 (did that in my head)

According to Soth

Bobby stole the base on his own… Vladdy hit it by chance… FYI

Dear TBS

During your early years the station showed re-runs like ``The Lucy Show``, ``Leave it to Beaver`` and ``The Andy Griffith Show``. Please return to your core business of showing tired old re-runs, as it is obvious that you suck at broadcasting baseball games.

XYZ123 - October 9, 2009 reply

+1

or, at the very least, hire some outside broadcasters. there’s no need to hire the hometown broadcasters for EITHER team in a series.

….douchebags.

I heard a pretty good idea

Why not hire announcers from both teams? If you’re going to hire a team’s announcers, make it balanced. It could lead to some great dialogue and much better information. It would never work with homers like Kay or Hawk Harrelson, but I could see Rory in there with Orsillo.

or even

hire the home announcers for the home parks – Rory and Rex do the games at Angel stadium, the other team’s announcers do it at their stadiums. that could be fun.

I like that idea.

I like this.

torture Buck....team him up with Phyzzzz

ladybug - October 10, 2009 reply

yessir TBS has no business broadcasting baseball games especially in the postseason

at least put more effort into it especially with ur camerawork
hell even ur counterpart TNT handles basketball games much better
if u cant do it right than give up ur rights to fox or ESPN and have em do it right….

They are the WORST

I hate ESPN’s bias, but they produce baseball game coverage very well. I wish they were doing these.

rspencer - October 9, 2009 reply

ESPN>>>>>>TBS

That's like saying

Angels >>>>>>> local Jr. High Baseball Team

i remember last year they showed the steve harvey show accidently instead of game 6 of the ALCS....

have you guys got Caray or Darling yet?

what a treat, let me tell you…

PieceOfAase - October 9, 2009 reply

Had a couple of friends sitting behind the Sox dugout--

(They’re Angels fans) Seemed to think the calls were going ok…

the calls were pretty much ok.

I was sitting above homeplate in the 500’s and it was good. Some were close but he called them both ways.

Anyone catch Craig Sager interviewing Tex?

Am i the only one with unbridled hatred for this crusty attention whore? What the fuck did we do to TBS for them to unleash this asshat who wears ridiculous suits?

Hey craig you wear shitty suits, we get it, its your schtick, NOW GO DIE IN A FUCKING HOUSE FIRE.

twins got the shaft, instant replay needs to be in baseball, and the TBS strike zone monitor is a fucking joke.

dan73962 - October 9, 2009 reply

Just got back from the game!

My ears are still ringing…holy crap it was LOUD. Loved it! The rally sticks are perfect to annoy Boston fans.

Aybar’s triple was soooooo great. But like last night, it’s too hard to choose a panther between Aybar and Weaver.

Great pitching, great defense, timely hitting. Let’s keep it rolling on into Boston!

sothball - October 9, 2009 reply

Me too.

I was representing up in 507. THE PLACE WAS ROCKING!!!!

I was in front of a BoSox fan… She wasn’t a chowd — since early ’90s. Gave her a little respect, but then got on with the game.

I had 2 BoSux fans behind me...

…they were OK. Their conversation early in the game had a built-in assumption that they were destined to win…“Weaver is barely getting over 90 (MPH) sooner or later we will catch up with him…Beckett is pitching his usual strong game…” and so on. Their conversation was not so confident later in the game.

My wife jokingly turned to them after Aybar’s triple for a high 5. One of ’em gave her a real nasty look. We laughed about it on the drive home.

sothball - October 10, 2009 reply

was in the 500's too and I loved it.

Didn’t lose my voice cause the Thundersticks made enough noise. And it did annoy the boston fans. But that’s just too bad cause they aren’t in Boston. If they don’t like it they can go to boston and watch their team play.

Mice Tits!

It really comes as no surprise

To find that you planned it all along

Brew Angel - October 9, 2009 reply

Great game...

Last night’s Panther should have been Torii, but tonight WTY is the choice. Last night we needed the big hit (oh, sweet relief!), and tonight we needed a stopper.

The dude sitting next to me was giving it to Ortiz (Papi could hear him for sure) with both barrels. Weight, skills, ’roids, everything. The row in front of us had 6 Sox fans, and not only did they not get even slightly upset, they laughed at some of it.

Very cool of them.

LittleCupcakes - October 9, 2009 reply

Weaver is the Panther.

TWO HITS and NO HOMERS. PLUS seven K’s.

Very impressive

by Weaver. His velocity was especially encouraging. His heater seemed like it had a couple extra ticks on it throughout the night. More 90+ readings than maybe we saw at points during the season.

rdf8585 - October 9, 2009 reply

I should add

That kind of performance is “Dream Weaver” worthy.

rdf8585 - October 9, 2009 reply

I believe he can get me through the night

TBS's gun

is definitely ratcheted up a couple notches at least. The stadium gun seemed accurate. He was sitting 88 – 90, but good movement and great location. He did touch 92 a couple times, but he wasn’t throwing harder than he usually does.

I noticed that too

Lackey was sitting on 93-94 most of the game Thursday. They obviously have the ESPN gun over there.

dmhead - October 10, 2009 reply

Anyone notice Wood in the dugout...

I think its cool he is there even though hes not on the roster. Good move by Sosh.

Sadly, Wood doesn’t know any other place besides the dugout. Hopefully that changes in 2010.

rdf8585 - October 9, 2009 reply

Can't we add him to the roster later in the post season?

eyespy - October 10, 2009 reply

the Roster can be changed for the ALCS...don't know if it should though.

I like Wood BUT if this is working I’m not sure I want to change anything.

I thought he made it on the roster?

Isn’t there some rule about not being in the dugout if not on the roster or something? Or maybe Wood’s the bat-boy…?

POTG is Napoli

Took Beckett’s throw like a stud, didn’t move and didn’t wince. Did you all see Beckett throwing a fit over Nap not moving?

Eat shit, Beckett.

Teixeira Who? - October 9, 2009 reply

I loved that so much

Beckett is the biggest TOOL in sports

That was Awesome

the biggest tool in sports goes to Deion Sanders.

I don't think Sanders exists

He’s a figment of our imaginations.

My god then there is still hope for the flux capacitor!

Yeah I didn't like Beckett bitching

What a tool…

What'd he do?

Honestly, from 506 it was hard to even see that Naps got hit instead of just ball four—but yeah it’s typical Beckett bullshit, no? And what exactly did Beckett do in reaction to Naps non-reaction?

He was yelling at someone

he thought that Naps tried to get in the way of the ball

Hells Yeah

2-0 and loving it. STill one more though so deal not done yet. Enjoying the moment for sure though. Lackey and Weave = Studs.

On a side note (I haven’t been on the game threads much this year while watching games so this may have been discussed at length already (or not) – if so, my apologies)……..is it just me or has Juan Rivera gotten more and more GAish as the season has gone on? I know there was the pop fly in Boston at the end of Sept, but even these last 2 games it seems like he hasn’t run hard down the line when he could have put more pressure on the throw. Like today on the hard grounder to Lowell…it just looked like he was jogging when he could have maybe forced an errant throw (see game 1) after the ball hit Lowell on the hand.

gorams77 - October 9, 2009 reply

On that triple by Aybar

Did any of you guys catch when Ellsbury stumbled right in front of the Adenhart wall picture. That was pretty eerie to me but awesome at the same time.

He saw his season slipping away . . .

Kazmir hits Papi Sunday.

Payback.

Why hit Papi? Hes a strikeout machine!

A win in Boston would be enough payback :)

True, logical

But I believe the Red Sox think the Angels can be intimidated, and I don’t like how they keep hitting our guys with apparent impunity. The code must be respected.

If they do think that then they are fucked...

2-0 in the series and if they think we can be intimidated they are done. I think they should try to win in the most classiest way (no retaliation in any way shape or form) and save the dirty stuff for NY.

Oh get off it

Beckett didn’t hit him on purpose, it was a freakin curve ball. And Ramirez didn’t hit Torii on purpose the night before. These are the playoffs. Both teams want to win. Putting runners on base over some bullshit “code” is that stupidest fucking thing any pitcher on either side can do. Just win.

dmhead - October 10, 2009 reply

well said

Rev Halofan - October 10, 2009 reply

Papi has done nothing

no reason to hit any of them. We don’t have to play that way to win – and that is obvious.

OT-ish

Because the halo willnot be “lit” for the playoffs, what do you guys think of having lasers going off in all directions?

Figgi4life - October 9, 2009 reply

Going off of the big A that is

bc56274 - October 10, 2009 reply

Finally home after an amazing game 2

Stuck in chowderville (sect 306) but was well worth it to see them bitch and complain in the late innings. Add on the reminders that Big Vladdy walked(!), clutch steal by HK and of course 7.1 IP from Brother Jered and… I WANT MORE!

Let’s fuckin do this thing right Sunday morning!

blast21dave - October 10, 2009 reply

Was anyone sitting in 529 tonight?

That section was so loud and so rowdy we had driven out just about every Chowd by the 7th inning. It was beautiful. Mind you, this was the same section that gave Beckett the finger after he was pulled.

The cheap seats bring out the best in fans.

Ptchers Did Their Job!

Comparing this season with the previous ones which were quite disappointing is that Angels pitchers held the other team down. In season’s past, it was the other way around with Boston holding down our hitters. Now, hopefully, we can end this on Saturday. We need to! Last thing we need is to give Boston the hope that they can come back! Go Angels! Finish the job!

JimmyBlue - October 10, 2009 reply

I don't think I've ever seen the Big A rock like that since 2002...

And never in person. It was awesome. I’m still hoarse, this morning.

All I want to hear on Sunday

are the cheers from Angels fans that went there. It’s time to SILENCE Fenway Park and send them to their houses for the winter.

Was at the game last night too and it was fun to annoy with our noise the few soxs fans that there were. No need to say anything to them, the team said it all for us.
