Use this thread to talk about life and baseball (but not religion or politics) until Game Time.
Tonight Joe Saunders faces Adam Eaton and the Baltimore Orioles. Eaton was released by the Phillies in February, signed by the Orioles and recalled from AAA on April 12.
Weather: Partly cloudy. Game time temperature around 80
Read about our opponent at SBN's award-winning Orioles blog, Camden Chat, who are lamenting the tornado called the Rangers that just blew through Baltimore.

Life is cool. So is baseball.
Mayheminthehood - April 28, 2009
I live in Philly
and saw Eaton pitch a couple of times last season. we should hammer this guy. im trying to remember if when the angels were in town last season if they faced him?
kingfish - April 28, 2009
i got the answer
we faced him in the first game of the series. angels won 7-1.
Eaton went 5IP, 6ER, 1SO, 3BB

Tonight is my first Angels game of the season!
I’ll be rocking my foam hand, jersey and hat all the way out here in Baltimore!
angelgal - April 28, 2009
Go Halos! Representing on the east coast is awesome
teopeht - April 28, 2009
Very nice!
Should be a fun romp for the good guys.

Life is one of my top 5 breakfast cereals
Best breakfast cereals:
1. Cocoa Puffs
2. Life
3. Capn Crunch
4. French Toast Crunch
5. Peanut Butter Cap’n Crunch
Higz - April 28, 2009
Is Life the one Mikey likes?
Mayheminthehood - April 28, 2009
Yes!
Higz - April 28, 2009
Mad respect...
For choosing original Capn Crunch over Crunch Berries.
Gotta go with:
1. Cookie Crisp
2. Capn Crunch
Tie for 3. Cocoa Pebbles / Cocoa Puffs
4. Golden Grahms
5. Lucky Charms.
Honorable mention goes to Oh’s, which are pretty effin delicious.
clover_black - April 28, 2009
Crunchberries suck.
1. Frosted Mini Wheats
2. Froot Loops
3. Wheat Chex
4. Cap’n Crunch
5. Cinnamon Life
red floyd - April 28, 2009
Thank goodness someone has sense.
Frosted Mini Wheats is win! But then so is Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and that’s been completely ignored.
WIth that said, I like to mix it up. Even some Honey Nut Cheerios are good now and then, and anything with sweet crunchy clusters is always nice.
AlanFalcon - April 28, 2009
Crunchberries do indeed suck...
But peanut butter Cap’n Crunch rocks!
thetooth - April 28, 2009
No no no...
Cap’n Crunch, Oops all Berries! Oh so good!
thrill000 - April 28, 2009
+1
vladtheimpaler - April 28, 2009
OK...
1. Porridge
2. Coco pops
3. Weetabix
4. Shreddies
5. And the one I can remember from the US that was edible (and which I adored) – Cinnamon Toast Crunch
The Limey - April 28, 2009
Sorry but
King is POPs
Lucky Charms
Tony the Tiger flakes
Honey Nut Cheerios
Coco Puffs
Angelitos - April 29, 2009
I'm down to 1 class, 26 pages, and 1 final before I get my JD.
and 2 months of bar prep, 1 bar examination before I hopefully become a lawyer. And I’m actually way more worried about getting a job than anything else.
teopeht - April 28, 2009
hey congrats.....
my own personal feelings for law folks aside……….it’s not joke getting through all that….good luck in the future with that.
norcaliangelsfan - April 28, 2009
hey im with you man
i had to go to law school to realize that lawyers suck and i want to be a chef
teopeht - April 28, 2009
Congrats...
Seriously.
And now to cue the lawyer jokes:
Why don’t sharks eat lawyers? Professional courtesy.
red floyd - April 28, 2009
an other lawyer joke:
what do lawyers use for birth control?
their personalities.
wallispdub1 - April 28, 2009

norcaliangelsfan - April 28, 2009
If you are bored waiting for the game to start...
read about one of the most interesting baseball players ever
Higz - April 28, 2009
Thanks... that was an interesting read...
thetooth - April 28, 2009
Glad you enjoyed it. Interesting fellow.
Higz - April 28, 2009
I love that guy from the Dos Equis commercial
cupie - April 28, 2009
Say thirsty, my friend.
thetooth - April 28, 2009
Thirsty!
Higz - April 28, 2009
LOL... my kingdom for an edit button.
I meant “Stay thirsty, my friend”
thetooth - April 28, 2009
I like "Say Thirsty My Friend".

Faaaaa
My 86-year-old grandpa broke his arm/shoulder and cracked a rib when he fell while BBQing the other day. Luckily he’s only in a sling, but damnit it makes me think that he’ll be leaving this world soon. Makes me sad.
I don’t think I see him as much as I should.
Sethy - April 28, 2009
Maybe we should take him with us
on our next trip to the Tartan Room
thrill000 - April 28, 2009
Haha
He’s in a barbershop quartet, so I’m sure he’d love to blast out some Sinatra or something while sipping his martini.
Sethy - April 28, 2009
And it continues
My buddy just called saying he’s in hospital and had his appendix removed, and his truck was stolen and found completely stripped.
Sethy - April 28, 2009
BBQ Thread
What kind of BBQ do you use when grilling (or do you do old-skool BBQ)?
Me, I use a Weber Genesis Silver B. Gas grill. I want to get my hands on a classic kettle grill for charcoal.
red floyd - April 28, 2009
old skewl black weber
does the trick for me!
wallispdub1 - April 28, 2009
I've given up on charcoal
I’m a propane man
Higz - April 28, 2009
hickory and mesquite chunks for me
Usually while using my smoker but also my char-broil old skool grill. I love bbq, man.
dmhead - April 28, 2009
My Dad always said,
“Never discuss religion or politics in social situations.”
I generally just avoid social situations altogether, just to be safe.
rspencer - April 28, 2009
Hah.
Good call.
AlanFalcon - April 28, 2009

Kokey8 - April 28, 2009

Gonna watch game seven between new jersey devils and hurricanes.
But i’l probably be checking the angels box score all night.
princeton11loveshalos - April 28, 2009
fuck that!
Rangers vs Capitals
-I expect a big game from Overchicken
cupie - April 28, 2009
Overchicken?
Is that anything like Super Chicken?
“Fred, I’ll get the Super Sauce, you get the Super Coop. Where’s my plumed hat?”
red floyd - April 28, 2009
Sharky's
Sharky’s power plate is wonderful for those of us who are watching what we eat.
Still lets us feel like we’re eating fast food.
red floyd - April 28, 2009
Top 5 lunch
1. T.K Burger
2. Wahoo’s (Specifically Blackend Chicken or Maui Bowl)
3. Zankou Chicken
4. Gallo’s Subs
5. Langer’s Pastrami (Don’t get to MacArthur park enough for lunch though, it’s a little far).
MidwayCityLivestock - April 28, 2009
Wahoo's rocks.
red floyd - April 28, 2009
Defense appalling!
I am more concerned with our long-term problems with Defense than I am with our bullpen woes…for a team built on “pitching and defense” we ain’t got no D!
K3YEROUT - April 28, 2009
Camden Chat
Panther of the Game = Most Birdland Player (MBP)
44FAN - April 28, 2009
So that would be the player
who should sing with the Manhattan Tranfer?
red floyd - April 28, 2009
don't date yourself
cupie - April 28, 2009
really
44FAN - April 28, 2009
I don't.
I usually date my wife.
red floyd - April 28, 2009
Transfer, not Tranfer.
red floyd - April 28, 2009
we all got it
If i never hear a Manhattan Transfer song again my life will be complete.
cupie - April 28, 2009
Whoa. Scared me for a second there..
I thought this was one of those mid-day east-coast games. You know the ones they play so folks on the east coast don’t have to whine about staying up too late…
3rd Echelon - April 28, 2009
That would be tomorrow, Wednesday's game start at 9:35 am Pacific time.
44FAN - April 28, 2009
I'm a whiner...
Staying up for the 10:00 ET games stinks! I’m just happy I get to watch the whole game, go halos!
ponusbaum43 - April 28, 2009
Not being a smart ass but do you have Tivo/DVR?
3rd Echelon - April 28, 2009
No
The town I live in is so small that we are not able to get Tivo or any similar DVR. That sounds like a joke I know but it’s true.
ponusbaum43 - April 28, 2009
Dude, that sucks. I guess I'm spoiled.
The funny thing is that when I record games and don’t have a chance to watch them later, I have to avoid talking to people all day for fear I might hear who won the game. HA HA!
3rd Echelon - April 28, 2009
Yes, that’s is my next concern once I am able to get Tivo.
ponusbaum43 - April 28, 2009
Options
They make non-cable DVR’s you can buy, or use Windows media center. It’s all about options.
anaheimisnotla - April 28, 2009
Whaaa! Looks like I'll be the one whining.

Higz - April 28, 2009
Bullits
see above
cupie - April 28, 2009
All I see is my ceiling
ReggieBullits - April 28, 2009
LOL
K3YEROUT - April 28, 2009
lay off the 'shrums
cupie - April 28, 2009
Just looking at some numbers...
The only guys Hokie Joe will really need to avoid are…
Aubrey Huff- .500 w/ 12ABs (2004-08)
Melivn Mora- .462 w/ 13ABs (2004-08)
and maybe Luke Scott- .600 w/ 5ABs (2004-08) although doesn’t look like Scott is in the lineup today.
Anyone else getting hot on the Os?
3rd Echelon - April 28, 2009
Adam Jones has been rakin all year
But he’s a career 1-7 vs. Saundo. He’s 4-13 vs. LHP this season.
ReggieBullits - April 28, 2009
God forbid Brandon Wood play two games in a row, I might as well be the one to start it.
ponusbaum43 - April 28, 2009
It's a trap!
44FAN - April 28, 2009
BAA!
The Admiral senses something…
3rd Echelon - April 28, 2009
Awesome
The Limey - April 28, 2009
nice!
cupie - April 28, 2009
I only hit Post by accident...
I meant to post my feelings about Woody not starting…again!
K3YEROUT - April 28, 2009
Top 3 Things that stink about living in the Pacific Northwest right now:
1. Mariners fans arrogance about being in 1st place
2. Lack of In-N-Out Burger locations
3. Portland Trailblazers crapping the bed in the playoffs
Northwest - April 28, 2009
Well, I will definitely agree with the first two…
K3YEROUT - April 28, 2009
The Mariners can have 1st place in April, we’ll take it in October.
ponusbaum43 - April 28, 2009
Nice, I’ll use that one!
K3YEROUT - April 28, 2009
Well, I'd rather be hearing from Mariners fans than Dodgers fans. Ughhhh...
Yeah, I get it. Your team looks like THA BEST EVAR!!!! when you’re playing the Rockies, Giants and Nationals. Now please, shut up Mr. Dodger fan.
Mayheminthehood - April 28, 2009
Mariners fans have a lot of pent up anger
and are beginning to believe that this season will be vindication for last year
Northwest - April 28, 2009
A benefit of the east coast...
Orioles and Nationals fans generally don’t have much to brag about
ponusbaum43 - April 28, 2009
I don't live near any Dohhdger fans thankfully...
just the damn M’s fans!
K3YEROUT - April 28, 2009
Dude, where did I leave my donkey?
44FAN - April 28, 2009
Ever been to a Physioc show in Tijuana?
Mayheminthehood - April 28, 2009
Only the Midget Show, it was a short trip.
44FAN - April 28, 2009
Hey, the ass is on the radio!
How’d they do that?
3rd Echelon - April 28, 2009
Jose "Right Now" Mota ladies and gentleman!
3rd Echelon - April 28, 2009
Current Vegas Odds
For an Halos Starter to contract Swine Flu: 7-4
Northwest - April 28, 2009
I'm surprised the odds are that long
The Limey - April 28, 2009
Yeah...
Everything else has happened to the rotation… why should we exclude Swine Flu?
red floyd - April 28, 2009
Yippe aye aaaaaaaaaaa
mini sirlion burgers……
norcaliangelsfan - April 28, 2009
Totally off-topic comment
But why isn’t 4/24 in the COMICS section? That’s “Loux, I am not your father”

It is now.

Thanks
red floyd - April 29, 2009
