cmon get on base!

i need a SB

don't we all - (or most of us)
ah yes........shoulder room.....

like moving from coach to first class….

Bad hour for me so far....
home court is overrated

lakers will be fine
they will be pissed and come out hot vs denver

K3yerssssssooooooOUT Kowbell
btw- REV nice pulp fiction movie quote!

great movie!!

we're making morrow look good.

he’s going to get it in his head he can actually pitch with his 8.03 era

come on mini sirloin burgers
we want shnauzers

clap clap clapclapclap

There not Regular Cows

There Mini Cows

That's outta here!
In a silo
In a Telephone Booth
Wood would have forced

Johjima to pop up, just by looking at him. Wood is slowly becoming the new Chuck Norris.

Eybar bounces the routine play again...
Wood would have done it better
Another silo HR
HR Betancourt
bite your bat
I can't reach there...
sorry to hear that
Saundo

is the mang!

Colonel on point

Saundoooooooooooo

I think this Saunders kid has a future
we're gonna see him regress i'm afraid
nope
agreed.

Saunders seems like the real deal. Now if you’d said Palmer… I would have also disagreed. But I’m horribly optimistic.

he's 37-17 in his career, he is no longer a flash in the pan
You're right

Just like he’s already regressed so far this year. As we all know, predictions are more relevant than actual performance.

nice quick inn
nice quick outt
quick inn

slow out……

whatchu talkin' 'bout Willis?
Joe is the saving grace to this game
the Crimson Chin is back!!!
Leno?
It's actually reference to the Fairly Oddparents cartoon

but yes, it leads to Jay

i thought 2 homeruns

make it pretty nice too.

You'd think this game would show Soth the value of Wood

What’s more likely to score off elite pitcher like Bedard. Him making one mistake and you getting a homerun, or a guy like Aybar getting 3 straight singles?

Bedard elite?
why is Joe done?
HE gets gassed

easy

Let's Go Angels!

Q do something here.

too late
Ah mater, much later.....
What does Soth see in Q?

I think he’s one of those people who remember one specific thing someone does and conveniently forgets everything else. Once you impress him once, you’re in for life.

why is Q still in the game
You have an extra word in there, "still"
Cause we just think that the next Brooks Robinson needs more time in AAA

Duh?

the Angels are an equal opportunity employer

everyone deserves abs even if they have a goofy swing and are past their prime which was never even that good to begin with

good call playing Q

that moved really worked out

we're up 2 so far its working out
at NO point does a guy going 0-3 with 3 k's from the DH spot mean

that it’s working out

well

a win is a win right? or are they qualified based on how well our hitters are?

of course a win is a win

but I could play 1B for the Angels and they’d still win 65 games. Q could not look any worse

thats a bit of an over shot
actually nope

“Most regular position players will accumulate 3-5 WARP over a season. A legitimate All-Star-caliber player may have over 7 WARP. Over 10 WARP is a strong MVP candidate, while over 15 WARP is a “one-for-the-ages” season. On the flip side, a player with -1 WARP or less is probably in danger of disappearing from baseball."

WARP by the way is wins above replacement player. Assuming the Angels are around a 90 win team, they would win 65 games with anyone at first assuming of course that they can catch a baseball.

so you can catch a baseball?

;p

all in all if the angels win with him in the line-up than who are we to complain (given its not an everyday occurrence)

because at the start of the game they had less of a chance of winning with him in it
right

thats why we play the game and not go by what the statistics say…

But he's a lefty killer!
yeah he always sees at least 3 pitches
Shit Shields coming in
Howieeeeeeeeee

Wow

upper deck

thanks, mattwelch!

3 RUNS on 3 HITS for our Boys tonight...

HR HK

How sweet an Angels fan catching an upper deck shot
Howard!

hits the upper deck!

solo homers from unexpected places

Can't take that back

Nice job HK-47

HK with our third hit
Howard must have read today's lunch thread.
woah....where the heck did that come from?
Hula Dula
he channeled it into hk?

awesome

Wow, What a weird game
***********HOMERUN***********Howie Kendrick!*************
Bizzaro World............
i was right to have a good feeling
Now all we need is a Willits PH homer to make this complete
Howie provided the long ball

Can’t get much better than that. Good night guys.

Howie more of that!!
and gals

;)

SB

F T W!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111

Can the guy in the stands pitch?

I’m thinking bullpen

Bring his glove in for Rivera in the 9th
Or just stick a broomstick in the OF and put his glove on it
3 Runs on 4 Hits
Phys likes talking about the minors all the time

mabye he should broadcast down there

would they have him?
Unlike Arte and Kuhl

They would have to listen to him… so NOPE!

Upper deck

Howie, the souvenir vendor!

3 Runs on 5 hits
ok, well he can steal 3rd....
hits are like cancer

once you find it, it just spreads everywhere

Panther!! Man who caught the Howie Homerun
Oh so now we can hit
Howie's baaaaack!!
Not quite yet. He's benches on my fantasy team till he's +.265
give the guy a break

he’s got to get his mojo back. Baby steps dude, baby steps!!

give me a month of baby steps and i will proclaim the return of our hitting champ
baby steps are not allowed!!!
YES they are
NO!!

in this day and age its “what have you done for me lately!”

he has to mash all the time or be benched!

nope

it’s like a book of matches

they have to burn one at a time to last, otherwise if they all burn, it’s gone in an instant

i know this

sarcasm phail on my part

Here comes Iron Man
wow i just now got that after 5 minutes

well played sir

Wow, Phys as excited about mini serloin burgers as HH posters
Physioc

got more excited about saying MINI BUNS on the pitching break promo than he did on any of the HRs tonight…

he sucks at life
Phyzz loves Buns
I can not lie

I like big buns

I like square butts
I LOVE SpongeBob
lol Kids will do that for you
I'll take a mini krabby patty please
at least he's not getting off on the Mariners tonite
Johnny Riv looks like he's played tonight

uni all dirty and back pocket hanging out of his a$$

usually he just puts pine tar on his helmet all game
Rivera with the bat sniff
I saw him kiss it earlier
he loves wood too
Any of the ladies who are after Juan should try to bottle that smell
Boo

not a SB i’m guessin..

oh well, I'd rather have runs than points...
dang - no SB....
it's Seattle, Phyzz....it happens ALL the freakin time
curses!
our best chance at a SB and stark has got to blow it
All Aybar's fault

What was he thinking getting a hit with Figgins on 1st? BOTG

K3yersoooout
He hit his bat!!!

abuse!!!
i am going to report him to the proper athorities

thank you Phyz for the Laker update

…I didn’t know the result at all argggggghhhhh

FSN

worst commercials of all time?

not hardly

commercials are SO SO SO much better than they used to be.

Newport Rib Company

pretty good food
pretty horrible commercials

they're on a budget
no way - mini sirloin burgers rocks
SHIELDS UP

are they the good shields?

he has looked good this week
He's at full power tonight
Transfering power from life support.
so did anybody notice

that Texas lost again to a winning team. they are now 5 – 10 against teams with a .500 winning percent or better. they say they are going to be the new powerhouse in the west?

just ignore them

the final result will do the talking

The glove on a stick from earlier in the thread would have caught that ball
Torii looking GA out there
Napoli not even waiting for the strike call. I like it.
K

Itchyhole STFD
STFD ichiro
SS looking sick :/
So much for that last second adjustment.
k3yerout Itchibutt

SSRP Shields

Sounds like a Naval ship.

Aybar with the canon protecting the Shields
Nice play Aybar
Nice play by Eybar there...great arm!

Defense

trek > wars though :D zomg its awn like king kong

donkey>king
ah i knew something sounded off
to be fair

the new movie was pretty great.

agreed and to be fair

the original star wars movies > the original trek movies

to be completely fair, even though I haven't seen all of them

all star trek movies > star wars prequels.

agreed

george lucas decided “hey all you who fell in love with my star wars…screw you, they are my toys and im going to ruin it for everyone else”

aybarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

fighting through figgy’s screen and shawon dunstoning it over to K Mo

someone needs to make a fail picture

with the catcher from the Howards commercial in it

the Twins won 20 - 1 over the white sox today

no wonder Peavy wont go there.

Bart clearly didn't want to wait for his dinner

7H, 2BB, 2 HR, 2IP

Phyzz says Angels pitchers know how to win.

superb analysis

wow that's brilliant
Anyone remember when the Angels beat the White Sox 19-0

in like 2001,or 2002

yes, I was there

it was May 2002

me 2

thanx for the date clarification

I was so drunk by the 5th inning

nothing better to do

http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/ANA/ANA200205100.shtml

LOL

i was in 6th grade, and i was like shitting my pants cuz all my memories we that score but the other way around

you be a youngin too!
yeah but not that young im 18
my son is almost 18...you are young!
pretty soon your son is gonna be offcially not a kid anymore
no matter how old, he'll always be my baby

but no…he’ll graduate with an associates next year. He’s my hero

you hadn't been potty trained by the 6th grade???

glad i wasn’t the only one

wow, we beat CLE 21-2 two weeks before that
I remember hearing about it

didn’t watch though

Feuntesaurus breaking out his gammy stumpy arm in the 'pen
can we get an SB by nap?
ANYTHING is possible if you believe!
How many times this series has Phys talked about Ichiro climbing the wall?

I lost count around a dozen.

it's all he knows
Is it bad that I just realized there was a new thread?
Were you talking to yourself in the other thread or something?
Naw jus got distracted for a little bit
as long as you didn't lose any arguments
Quinlan made contact

He’s staring to get it together. He’ll be up to .150 again by June.

eye contact does NOT count
The girl in that supercuts commercial looks like Michael Jackson
FUENTES

let’s do this!

fuentesauras rex goes

rawrawrarwarwrawrarawarddarwrarw nomnomnomnomnomnomnomonomnom, i eat your batters!

Torii, shouting from CF:

“but first, I ruin your birthdays!”

he throws just WEIRD
It's like he stops for a second before releasing the pitch
if you don't move

he can’t see you

But the Fuentesaur doesn't move, so you can't see him?
The Fuentesaur just eats you
I'm glad he's recovered his appetite

Earlier this year he was just feeding the masses

11/13

Not bad so far

as long as he gets outs I'm good with how he throws...
I dont care if he rolls it to the mound.....

as long as he gets outs

golf swing

FORE!

We are talking about the Pitcher

not the Catcher, Right?

he sure does.

I like these bullpen guys

who throw strikes

Branyan is trade bait...
no way,

i just picked him up

Think Mets...and Delgado...
give the Ms some more time to slide and he'll be gone
Apparantly the Padres want Bettancourt from them
decent hit by Paul Branyan
Another silo HR
tall confined space home run
branyan still hitting 70 points above is career BA

can’t wait for that to change
