Nice to see some tits!
Lil' Lincecum pitching the Gigantes...
2 out walk, let's go Dustin.
1-0 frisco. Thanks Benji. :P
Dustin not doing particularly well here...
That inning was ugly.
Angels...6 up, 6 down, 3 on K's...
Atleast it's against a good pitcher. Against Lincecum, I can deal with it. It's when we do this

against Miguel Batista that I get erked.

Agreed...Lincecum is a damn good pitcher.
About par for Moseley...a couple of scratch runs through 3 innings.

Benjie Molina in the middle of both scoring innings…

It seems like Bengi always kicks our ass.
i'm really loving the between inning music...
Budde Christ with a walk! :D
...First. Pitch. DP. For future reference, Bourjos, doing that means you get fired. >_<
LOL...he didn't get the message on plate discipline...
OK, Merkin Valdez in. Let's do something this time through the order, OK guys?
Time for Angels player to kick it up a notch.

Winceandcum threw a no-no over 3IP. Yikes. Made Moseley look bad, even though Dustin’s line is quite near his norm.

Now here's a familiar face and a guy we let go at exactly the right time.

Sure enough, first basehit of the game. Nail him, Naps.

No-no No-mo...

thanks KMo! :)

Kendrick nails Ortiz in the leg and gets a basehit, nice.

Let’s go Chris.

On the board on the hit & run, 2-1 with HK at 2nd and 2 out.
Thanks Ortiz!
TIE GAME! Nice hit by Bourjos to make up for last time.
Back in it...

Good at bat by Bourjos

Hilariously, allowing just 2 runs in this inning would STILL lower Ortiz' spring ERA

from what it was coming in to the game.

Seems lonely in here. :-P
friday

getaway day…

difficult to work and post at the same time...
Nuts, no more runs, but we tied it up off Ortiz.
Rivera down on K's for the second time today. Gotta pick it up, Juan.
Kendry stayin' hot. Time for a Power Nap!
Adios Ortiz!

you can pitch AGAINST us anytime!

Woo, NAPS! Angels lead 3-2!
Nice...

Here’s to a healthy 09 for Naps, could be a big year.

His september still has me in awe.

If he could be like, half that awesome over a full season, he’d still be the second best hitter on the team.

Honestly, I take Naps over Rivera at DH if it comes to that. Get him in the games, Mike.
Nice throw, Budde!
For those of you who may be wondering,

the reason no one is saying anything is that nothing is happening.

And as soon as you say this, they get a 2 out triple. :P
Yeah, I jinxed us.
No damage though.
No permanent damage, though.
Rex Hudler has a book, apparently. I did not know this.

Halos Heaven had a spotlight on it earlier this off-season

Nice of you guys, especially since I know a number of people don't like him.

Personally I think he’s hilarious, but that’s just me.

I will be right there with you crying the day Hud leaves the Angels broadcast team.

9th inning coming up.
Man I'd forgotten about Bulger.

Our bullpen has like a jillion good pitchers.

Yeah, the ONLY problem I have is the choice of closer, the pen itself is rock solid.

Honestly, that’s really a good description of the team: Solid.

Or not, 4-3 Frisco. Yeesh.
Whoops.

Dangit Bulger. Giants up 4-3.

Come on Bulger, damage control.
He's out of it, but man. 1 strike away and he gives it all up. Yikes. There's always our half, but

he can’t have helped his chances right there.

He's got the rest of spring training to pull it out.

But that 16 ERA = yikes.

Whelp, bottom of the 9th.

Here we go.

A postive note ...

at least out youngsters get at least 3 more ABs.

out should be our
That's a great way to look at it...

even comes with a little pressure, very little pressure.

Angels youngsters: Who needs THREE atbats? :P
Did I say 3 AB's or 3 pitches??? ;)

Yeah, they are really stressing patience at the plate! 3 pitches, inning over! Gotta take the good with the bad when Mickey Hacker is involved. Anybody wish to complain about being overly agressive today?

Other than getting exposed by Tim Lincecum, I don't have many complaints. And I'm

still more inclined to credit Lincecum than blame our guys.

LEADOFF DOUBLE!!

Reminds me of 1986 ALCS Game 5 … hit batsman followed by a lead-changing 2-run HR.

Let's see who can play Soth ball.
BRAD COON WALKOFF HOMER!!!
WOOOOOOO BRAD COON GW HR!!!

I h’aint seen sumthin like that in a ’coon’s age!

Phys: Well, Coon doesn't have a lot of power but he's good bunter

Coon: F### that.

Haha!

No soth ball, just walkoffs for the young guys!

greta minds...
not exactly Sothballl, but a win anyway!
Light it up walk off off homer

Brad Coon

get rid of one off lol
looks like coon is gonna get cut..

..everybody knows if you wanna make the major league squad, you have to get the walk-off single, not the walk-off HR..

Adam Riggs would like a word with you about that one...

unless you are quoting some movie and I am simply forgetting which one …

no, no movie

i was just referring to the fact that HR’s are hard to come by in an angel’s uniform. i mean, we definitely see more walk off singles than HR’s..

Gotcha. I just remember Adam Riggs for some stupid reason in this game HERE losing my lungs screaming so loud because the Halos had just beaten the Yankees with a nobody by the name of Adam Riggs via a walk-off.

I was at that game

We had a hotel near the stadium. The next morning we left for Vegas. Sportsbook teevees were replaying that highlight (The highlight was on the Yankees losing, Riggs’ single rolling past an already jogging-in Gary Sheffield)….
