Halos Heaven

thats odd

those are some sick pics

especially the s-rod one and the kendrick DP. the look on his face is so intense

Wow, great pics

gah

Patience!

It seems awesome. Until guys do that.

Cmon Guys. We did it last inning. its not impossible

Man, Hud sure aint surprised on that K

Yeah...

That was kind of depressing.

offense is sizzling to start the year

back to normal gol dang it

2 down. no sweat. no effort

Cy Washburn

swing

I hate having to pray for homers and wild pitches and HBPs

haha

2B

Chupa DOUBLE.

cmon vlad

hell yeah

Still pissed that there is no 34 patch

The players should grab a sharpie...

And scrawl it on those uniforms.

MLB probably told them no, that the uniforms will be sold for some Charity and those patched aren’t allowed. Or something.

Fuck the mlb. They have no right for that.

0 f-words left

that is not true

the uniforms were ordered a long time ago and were delivered to Safeco today. The logistics of stadium seamstress is actually a time-consuming clubhouse manager task.

2 out RISP

we have to hit at SOME point right?

Eventually.

But not this inning.

Yeah, Bobby!

That's how you do it Bobby!

yay abreu

sweet

Fucksakes!

Big Easy Halofan - April 15, 2009 reply

vlad

first pitch pop up

with 2 outs and RISP

im pretty sure we’re not hitting .000

and the sun sets

86 pitches....

Dude, Vlas what the hell

wtg vlad..........

Vlad sucks

WTG Vlad.

That wasn’t annoying at all.

/cries

sweet baby jesus

Look, I know Vlad is Vlad, but somebody will eventually need to inform him that he is no longer 25 and can’t do that shit anymore.

What, hit 90 MPH fastballs down the middle?

I sure HOPE he can still do that.

He clearly can't, at least not at this point in the season

His reputation precedes him…he would walk 150 times/season if he wanted to.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he just missed.

Dammit Vlad!

get it together already

damn it vlad

now you owe me an autograph

I HATE 2 OUT RALLY ATTEMPTS

deejayelleseven - April 15, 2009 reply

blueballs?

lol...

You should go here….

nice

you got the linking down

boy do i love Vlad

are we sure vlads not actually older than griffey?

its 1 year this year

next it will be 2 and then 3 after that and so on he will be 60 at 35

how do you say stubborn in spanish?

Guerrero?

WAIT GUYS.................

this is good for everyone that said “YES” to the question about scoring after the 6th inning…

this way that run is for the game and your point :)

dang

nice throw torii

My new hero!

An oldie from my archives…

Thanks for servin’ Griffey the meatball sandwich.

You guys gave up the saves record to K-Rod.

We owed you one. :-P

You also gave us the divison after the first pitch.

There is the endy hr

Good point.

i thought they won the division

steve phillips seemed pretty sure about it

Huh.

Well, it DOES say they won it here.

Weird.

4 titles in 5 years to the Halos

About time they showed up.

torii hunter and mike napoli are the only people who can hit on this team right now

HR's right

abreu is hitting well

"And that's his first hit in 19 AB's"

Is that good?

thats wrong

where did you hear that

wrong

against Washburn

Listen

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I don't understand why Seattle is playing the small ball we refuse to try

cmon weavs

i just want april to end

ARE YOU SERIOUS?/??????/??

wow just wow

errorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

this team is spewing fail everywhere

lol, I'm going to sleep

LAWL.....

SOMEBODY TEACH OUR PITCHERS TO FIELD FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!

First Fuentes, then Shields, and now Weaver.

How do you score that?

FC

without really throwing it.

LOL

Fielder's choice to nowhere?

time was called….I thought…

In the little diamond

Draw a guy hanging from a noose wearing a hat with a little A and a halo.

That works.

how horrible that it's true......

why the hell can't our pitchers pick up bunted balls?!!!!

!!!!

Weaver fell apart

the result of trying to pitch a perfect game

This game sucks

worse than yesterday’s game.

Well...

We lost Yesterday’s Game.

We just started this one.

This is getting to be regoddamneddiculous

the errors have got to stop

Hey REv...This is almost time for the "Rally thread" I've heard of...

do NOT and i repeat DO NOT

request any threads at any time

sorry........

your rally request thread itself caused an ichiro double play

though

haha...

This is embarrassing

this franchise has no right to be holding its own against us. They’re horrible, and they’re playing a million miles over their heads, and it’s infuriating to watch us flail helplessly at our trash heap scrap of a former SP.

God, I hate baseball.

FYI

First two Angels vs Ms games in 2008:

M’s 8 Angels 5
M’s 8 Angels 3

Wins after 2008 season

Angels 100
M’s 62

Too much credit to the M's

They won only 61.
Frankie saved 62. :)

Nice try Figgy.

KENDRICK!

Nice DP.

I looked away from the game...

And heard the Phizz saying, “Up the middle!” and I was just like… oh no. And then the Angels were turning a double play. And I was like huh?

dang those undescriptive calls....

Me too.

The meaning

is not always what Phizz says because he doesn’t know the meaning of what he’s saying

Kevin Jepsen FTW

nice job Howie............

really nice

DP!

YES!!!

Double Play!

WHO CARES IF HE'S SAFE!!!!!

Safe is when the umpire calls safe

As we know all too well this season.

Well, there's a call in our favor.

That’s new.

i forgotten what that feels like

I have gotten used to everything going against us

ooo

he looked safe

Shhhhhh!

Rabit Ears!

new pitcher......

maybe that’ll help

it sure did

lol

if we can't hit Batista

we are really struggling

Yup.

4-2 on 42's day

Let’s not let MLB dictate the score as well as the uniforms.

Yeah we all remeber

2005.

Come on Hula

2B torii

Hula DOUBLE.

torii

my man love for you only grows

hes hot

take it easy now

Don't deny your feelings.

It’s okay.

Toriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

for the two bagger

Hunter is the man.

Torii is the only guy on this team who has balls.

I got a fever

Ding, Ding,da, da, da, dong-dong-dong

K-Mo

torii's on fire

Q out Kow in

cmon kmo lets go

MOAR KOWBELL

Kendry

let’s do this.

BOOO

Where’s the Q!

And where's the small ball?

It’s still early.

Why havent you predicted anything??

no!

you call things…dont call bad things…

K-mo...

patience

uh oh

first pitch pop up to 2nd

negative

Don't scare me like that!

Geez

haha

haha...

sorry….I need some help….from the Angels

POSITIVE THINKING.

missed a good one.

What's with Hula-Dula

hes wearing shoes the color of the doyers

who cares

homerun and a double

jackie robinsons shoes maybe

jackie robinson shoes

guy played for the brooklyn dodgers

Represent

AH

that looked fair from my angle…

Batista was doing the Beckett shuffle

c'mon

right side kendry

AWESOME

KENDRY K

nice k kendry

LOL

Strikeout, Morales to first anyway.

OH MAN

Look at that speed!

AND IT GETS BY

AND HE'S SAFE

fitting on base for kendry

ROB JOHNSON EPIC FAIL

Nice Catch.

AND TORII MOVES UP

WHOOOOOO

he swung on purpose!

he knew it would get to the backstop…smart guy

I would do that.

If I could.

i always wonder if someone has really done that

I gotta think they have.

If guys can swing on IBBs and hit homers or game winning bloopers while the D is asleep, someone has swung at a strike three to take first.

lol.......

a break

This is starting to look like the Angels are playing Defense!

F YEAH

haha woo!

good break

3 POINTS FOR ME

Nice!

I had hoped for the first inning run, but I’ll take the two points and a W.

Johnny!

yeah johnny rivs

Juan is back.

Rivers comes through with the RBI

RIVERA

Johnny Rivers actually came threw for once!

torii should keep his pants like that

YES!

Panther.

niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

That away Johnnnny Rivers

Miguel Batista epic fail!

unhappiness in Seattle

They won't let him fail

He’s been pulled and will now go write a poem about it.

Sigh...

What else is new?

smell that bat Johnny!

if their still trying to build around Vald

we have serious problems

everyone that said "no-YES-YES"

is three for three :)

Dammit

That’s what I was gonna do. Went Yes yes yes instead

Can't fault you for the optimism!

Hey Juan...............keep thiniking it's JULY

THINKING

PANTHER OF THE GAME...........

ROB JOHNSON

PINCH HITS WORK

GIMME SOME MAICER

great idea

No, don't take him out

I’ll miss him to badly

Here we go, boys

Big Easy Halofan - April 15, 2009 reply

Watching tv here in Arizona and a commerical came on for rivera pools

knew something good was going to happen

Nice one!

do you watch them in Spring Training?

^^^ sorry that was OT

Now Mathis can go deep off whatever scrub they bring in.

Time for the Way of the Soth? Bunt them over?

yes...........

my call

Yes,

Yes please.

YES YES YES!

Knock ’em in now!

course Aybar isnt hitting well either though

I remember when Jose Molina was the best SAC bunter we ever had....

Thank god...

good job mathis

beautiful bunt

poifect

nice sac bunt mathis

Mathis with the nicely executed sac bunt.

If Mathis is up.

We win ALDS game 4

Gold Star

for the employee of the month

haha

i hope shields was watching that play

I thought Batista was a starter...

so did the Mariners

sacrifice fly? Hud?

Hahah.

Something like a sac fly. Just… on the ground.

Good job Mathis

Soth ball

cmon admiral

That away Mathis

Do the little things lead to big things

pantheresque sac bunt

nice play jeff

just don't let Aybar bunt

Ewbar

IT'S A TRAP.

I love you right now Zu.

I've been in love with you since Torii's HR ;)

ACKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!! Runner on 3rd, less than 2 out, Aybar.....................................

princeton11loveshalos - April 15, 2009 reply

cmon

admiral akbar

haha

Phys, just said that AYbar was a good bunter

hehehe

Geez Aybar

if Aybar Ks...

It’s time to get Figgi with it :)

swing the bat please....

What happened to patience?

I never advocate patience.......

when you get two meat balls…..

Dammit

damn you! damn you!

princeton11loveshalos - April 15, 2009 reply

WOOD WOOD WOOD

what the hell!!!

AAAybar

well at least he didn't screw up a suicide squeeze

fuck aybar

Oh that is a terrible AB

Wood would've killed it

Unclutch Aybar.

i think that would have a strike in softball

*have been

Same team slow pitch softball?

goddamnnit

Very terrible.

At least there’s only one out for Figgy

2

2 outs, mathis bunt and Aybar

Yeah...

Wasn’t thinking. (Bangs head on desk as Figgy strikes out.)

he almost swung...

aybar f'n sucks

bring up wood

Aybar is easily the BOTG if we lose

*knock on wood

I blame Fuentes.

Start Izturis plz

figgins really really needs to get a hit here

angels suck man

What was that Figgi?

Damnit

That sums up the start of the season.

W E A K

wow that was a lousy Aybar-Figgy tandem

arent these guys supposed to set the table or something????

kee-rist!

FUCK!

That was shit!

What started out as a promising inning, ended in total disappointment.

Even though we scored. That’s how bad that shit was.

what a horrible swing. he swung after the pitch was in the mitt

btw

the mini sirloin burgers suck.

Yipee AY yay mini surloin burgers!!!

commercial gives me nightmares.

but the commercial is awesome

I laugh at the commercial though

we lost the mojo from figgi4lifes thread request

lol...

i try my best…….

fuxk this.

fire mickey hatcher. this is bullshit. how many more seasons of this do we have to go through. i am so sick and tired of the angels being so shitty with runners in scoring position.

I've been missing game threads this year, is this our first fire Hatcher comment of the year?

i believe so

izturis should be playing every single day

I have no patience for Aybar anymore

especially since we have his replacement in AAA

And I hate you Pedroia

Yeah, that too.

Lame

times like that, you really need Brandon Wood instead of Aybar there.

And Christ, I hate the sacrifice bunt there. THE TYING RUN IS ALREADY IN SCORING POSITION, DON’T TAKE THE BAT OUT OF ANYONE’S HANDS. YOU GET 3 OUTS TO MOVE HIM FORWARD.

On the road...

I’d play for the lead too.

I'd rather have a tie

than a deficit.

well

aybars BA is higher than woods

Um...I guess

insomuch as Wood has zero at-bats in the majors, and therefore no batting average…which is still almost not as bad as Aybar’s.

last year

woods strong point isnt his BA, but his SLG. he could have drawn a walk i suppose, but figgy hasnt been producing

It's not his weak point, either

and he’s more ready this year than last year.

That’s how prospects generally work.

yeah i know

i might rather see wood up there too, but Aybars defense is irreplaceable

How good a glove do you need

to offset a sub-.500 OPS, exactly?

dude, its been 7 games

his ops isnt gonna stay there. but if it continues, theres no way his glove could offset it.

Well

it’s not exactly like Wood’s glove is lacking, either.

Wood is just the better player. Period. And either Figgins or Aybar needs to go. It’s redundant and depressing.

Aybar please

not Figgy

id be willing to replace it in a heart beat

plus he makes errors all the time

gaurentee we wont come close to scoring a run again and we will end the game with three runs

Sorry but...

You fail. Listen to the master.

i hace zero clus what you are talking about

but then again i could care fuckin less too

I think it's Picard time.

You say it better than anyone Jean-Luc.

we're just in a major funk

i hope management realizes this team cant be built around vlad anymore

"It was a very racial time"

Phyzz is a national embarrassment.

Amongst other things

try strikes...

jepsen channeling fuentes

Or Bootcheck

Jepson is finding the Majors challenging.

Bullpen is scaring me.

that ump looks like he just ran a marathon

anybody else concern about this season?

Not yet.

But I’m much closer than I ever expected.

I'll worry when we're 6-15 and not a moment sooner. ;-)

Very

Nope.

Even if we lose, we’ve been in worse spots.

A little

buts it’s only 7 games in

we've been here before, we are built for the long haul

when did we have the terrible road trip to Milwaukee to play Cleveland and then Boston

we stunk and we all were panicked —was that two years ago?

good point

I will repeat those words as I fall asleep to comfort me.

in 2002 we had our worst start ever

Great point.

I always figured April would be tought

That looked good

GREAT

Bullpen is killing us

and RISP AVG

Ball one was strike 3

According to Gameday (The REAL ump)

this team just doesnt look right

bullpen is very leaky, offense is limp, bad defense, bad execution

you bitch

you had him 0-2

According to GD he had him 0-3.

5-3 on the sac fly.

TRIPLE PLAY TIME!

Let’s make some more history tonight.

No, that's not a call.

Just wishful thinking.

haha...

keepin it realistic, eh?

All the runners advanced on the sac

Damn

That's tough.

wow, did you hear that pitcher say he'd bring the drinks?

Haha, that ump was no Joe West.

??? details?

It just seems a little innapropriate after last week

what are you talking about?

OH

on a Howard’s commercial?

yes

wow

this is the gameday call…
It’s pitch 4…

in the Branyan AB

ball 3 looked like a strike as well

haha

M's broadcast shows a Kzone several times...

he was so obviously whiffed it was pathetic!

BUlger's pic in Gameday is HILARIOUS

and we're done...

Bleh.

ugh!

game over

come on Whitey......

dont let Speier get in the game.

god damn it

Bullpen = Problem.

Season is gonna be rough.

LOL...love the reaction after the play by Juan.

If it weren't for Grffey's HR, I woulda stopped scoring this game...

at least the 5,000 in attendance are seeing a good game.

They are really hot right now.

hitting it where they aint........

Geez

Pitching sucks today

I guess 3 and 5 ain't that bad

But it feels like 3 and 2000

BUT AGAINST THE MARINERS???

Come on! And giving up double digit hits AGAIN???

I'm out of here

This game is upsetting me. I see all of you tomorrow.

kay...

they've almost batted around

ARE YOU FRIKKIN KIDDING ME?

Good Night guys!!

very disappointed

Ah...

I just now looked up at the score graphic…

Get the DP Bulger.

they're not even at DP depth...

"Horrible inning for the Angels bullpen"

No, of course a 2 year old couldn’t have told me that….

Shit the bed!

ichi rolls.

im outta here

i would rather watch that 70s show then the angels bullpen fucking blow dick for another game. i can picture us starting 5-23 again like 2002, but i dont see the possibility of a world series title within 1000 miles of the angels.

just shitty. on all fronts. get them out of here.

Are we walking a guy in?

oh my bloody hell

hey!

have you posted yet today? Or have I just completely overlooked your screen-name?

I posted the first thread a little

can’t watch the trainwreck anymore

Predictions were wrong.

Angels young uns doing alright. Angels bats doing alright. Angels bullpen failing miserably?

well....

part of the Angels bullpen is youngsters

Dear Ashley:

I have good news for Rich…

ROFL...I was just thinking the same thing. Can we start a petition?

Good strategy

Pitch around ichi to avoid the single.

Not quite.

Should have gone with that walk, i guess.

No longer in the game thread...

LOL

REALLY?!!?!?!?

PWNED

GRAND SLAM ICHIRO

ok no longer watching the game

i’m just going to play aroudn in the game thread

NIce Really freaking nice

Fordtrophytruck - April 15, 2009 reply

I'm done

bye

nevermind

SHIT THE BED

give me some good thoughts so I don't frikkin kill myself LOL

The game's almost over?

ichiro grand slam = /wrist

bases are cleared.

OUR bullpen's nickname?

“The Ministry of Silly Walks”

We seem to have snatched the title this evening...

Horrible game.

But it still only counts for 1.

princeton11loveshalos - April 15, 2009 reply

good night kids

lol...

I don't know.

I kinda prefer this kind of loss. The ones where you lose by one run are a punch in the stomach. The 11-3 losses are a kick in the ass.

OH CRAP

wrong name for this thread...

:((

I know.....

THAT GS MADE ME FORGET

HERE COMES JUSTIN

...what's beyond "from frying pan into the fire..."

or is it not him?

It's him.

IT is him...

rally monkey!

it's way too late for the Rally Diapers

Watch Speier be nails

i know...

I jinxed him in a good way!

XD.

Good call.

Our two young studs certainly don't look like young studs...

what a joke

This game is like the Yankees facing my little league team

or the Rays :)

Stop the Bleeding

We’re gonna need a herd of rally monkeys to save this one

I like the way you think

BOTG = SOTH, for leaving him in when we all knew what was going to happen

well...

it was either do that or bring in our new star Speirererererer

Poor Bulger's career is probably over now. His confidence is = to 000.000 now.

He just ruined him for the rest of the season.
Speieiri has accepted the fact that he’ll make 4 + regardless of how many slams he gives up.

If all it took is one inning to ruin you.

You were never going to make it anyway.

That may be, but it puts us in craptastic situation

A manager’s job is to manage, not just for now, but for the whole season. Why leave this guy out there to get butchered by the M’s best hitter?

you got one thing right…Big Bad Vlad is BAD! How long is it going to take til he wakes up?

Because in the interest of the whole season.

This is a game we are unlikely to win, and we need our good relievers for tomorrow. Leave in Bulger to A) see how he responds, and B) eat the innings.

We already know how Bulger Responds!!! He gets ROCKED!!

Remember last year. he is either on or off. Seemingly no in between. Besides this isn’t spring training (even though the angels look like it)

k3yerout

batted around

AH!!!!!!!

i can’t score it when they bat around!!!

dayum it

I thought you were leaving, BTW?

i decided I'd be a loyal, good fan lol

Attaboy.

Last year, somone coined the term "Craptastic"

…just came to mind…

How bout F***tastic :)

Could double as a porno.

LOL

Craptacular!

"Crapastrophic Loss"

4 walks in one inning=fail.

Amongst other things

Gotta hand some blame to the umpire.

Throw it close, it’s not called, throw a definite strike and it becomes a definite hit. What’s a rookie to do?

Griffey Jr=2 TB...

this inning

spring training champions, ftw

How about that?

1 inning=7 hits

WE ONLY NEED 9 RUNS TO WIN!!!!!!

WHOOOO

That sounds completely doable to me.

yup...

2 Grand Slams+...

and we’re back in it

NO PRESSURE!!!

live with chivarly, broseph.

alright HK...

let’s start this…

BTW

Justin Speier = Panther

LMAO

I hate you Beltre.

Well...

now I’m looking forward to the Laker game this Sunday

alright...

i gtg…

dinner…

everyone that said “no-YES-YES” get 3 points!!!!!

Ill take a rough start

over a mid season meltdown that the Ms will have.

Hear Hear!

Won't have to wait that long.

Middle of May at the latest…

welp a good ass whooping might do this team some good....

some folks need to pull their heads from their rears…..

my sentiments exactly

So it begins...

abreu continues to earn his check.....

Just one word....

OUCH!!!

Nice catch Gutierrez.

peace out.

That is a nice catch!

well if that aint the flies on this turd pie...........

KMo misses a HR by a foot...

top play on that catch by Gutierrez….going to see that on the highlight reels for awhile!

Attitude is in the game.

welp.......lets see what this kid has.

Zu you got the backstory on this kid?

Sure.

Rafael Rodriguez. 24 years old. Converted to a reliever, had a great year in Arkansas last year, didn’t do so well in his SLC callups. Came out this spring and did well.

We're relying on him to be a long man for a while while DO starts

Is that correct?

Seems that way.

I didn't realize the called up Rodriguez...

guess the 40 man is full again eh?

they sent down Reggie I believe

Willits goes down and Rodriguez comes up
