let's close this out
Sweet

I like the new digs

classic take me out to the ballgame

the way it should be done
no stupid build me up buttercup

we do that song - we just only sing it one time.
At least no Shields tonight
Hunter out
Great

That makes me nervous

I wouldn't read too much into it

Hunter took a tough crash into the wall. Scioscia playing it safe with the teams best player

Oliver 7th and 8th?
Bulger still in
Speier
My fail, glare on the TV
I'd go with oliver in the 8th

if Speier can pitch a good 8th

I like the New Thread smell
Wow...

Phys sounds like he’s calling his son’s first career strikeout.

He is probably just a surprised as we are
Why did Torii come out?

Need explanation. Freaking out!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Probably precautionary

Maybe a little tight after the AB

Um, I'm worried

You don’t normally take your best player out of the game. Hopefully just tightness. If it’s just to do a double-switch, then it is retarded. If it’s more than tightness, then I’m very sad.

Nice call

Doesn’t sound serious. I’m not religious, but I’ll be praying.

What happened?

I left a long time ago, it was 4-2, walked the dog, got some In-N-Out (burgers, not the other In-N-Out ya pervs) and come home to 7-4 … what the?

you missed a lot
Hud is rhyming
Holy Speier
Vin Scully great call

“Four consecutive Dodgers have bitten the strikeout dust.”

Juan Pierre

lucky that was not a triple

And the JuanP hits a double.
Time to get jennifer martin out
Shane Figgins?
He has said that at least three times today

Enough with the Vin Scully worship.

I still think Vin is awesome

but definitely the sign of the severely aging broadcaster is the name screwing up. Chick Hearn use to call Robert Horry James Worthy at least twice a game.

let's get a count going on this

I’ve heard it three times

wow who was that pitchere
Speier!
whenever Shields goes into a funk

Speier usually gets hot.

odd but true
I like this version of Speier better
Speier...

One more inning?

that be getting to greedy
might have to pinch hit for him, though we don't have anybody other than Mathis left on the bench, right?
mini sirloin burgers
I love during the ATT Rapid Rewind for the Dodgers

Shows all the Angels highlights.

ok naps time to break out of this funk
Hunter felt tightness

in his leg.

according to Dr. Vin
Apparently Dr. Vin got his info from Nurse Physioc
Thankfully doesn't sound serious

Pray for Torii

Jesus Naps
Damn Naps Ks again
So much for all my Napoli all star votes haha

mauer and v.mart are raking

Only want Torii to play in AS game.

cause I don’t want anyone to get hurt.

Joe Saunders ,Jared Weaver and Brian Fuentes could be St.Louis Bound.

and Quinlan

yeah if he buys a ticket to watch
does it count

if he’s only there to participate in the homerun derby?

Aybar has had 4 good at-bats today
that doubles his total for the year
Guillermo Mota = a poor man's Justin Speier
What have I missed?

I heard the past few innings on the radio…

a lot
same game as on the radio, right? ;)
just to let everyone konow

my buddy chris and i drink a case of beer every memorial day, when we finally move back to the west coast, we invite all of you! we are watching the angel game on a big screen in the yard, and everyone is drunk! we love it! go angles!

i love you all becaue you all love the angels!

Q may have the weirdest stance and swing the the league
counsell
good call
he looks like he's dislodging something from a tree
LOL

Haven’t seen Mike Scioscia run that fast in a long time. Now that was a funny comment.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vin on sosh: “I haven’t seen him run that fast in years!”

Mike does chug out of the dugout pretty quick when he thinks he has a case
How far out of the baseline can he be if he hits the middle of the bag with his slide?

Soth wore himself out.

"Mike is ready for the marathon!"

Vin, again, on Sosh

WE

need to go to bunt school…

it's different

when you’re bunting for a base hit. It has to be perfect.
When you’re sac bunting, your range for success is bigger.

Is there any reason not to have a 9-man infield against Willits?
now that's funny
managers are taking notes...
Who is this guy?
he's a famous rapper!
Q is now a running threat
the hell Q?

he must really want playing time

Sobering thought

Q is going to start more games this year than Wood.

>:(

this is not good

Very probably true :(
Q puts the Screw!

To Brandon Woo… d.

 l
\/ 8 comin up

Scioscia does love these double-switches
Oliver is our new Setup Man
Matthews in Center

Willits out, Oliver in, Double Switch

Figgins would have made that throw
Q threw that like I would

That was horrible

Jeez

Figgy gets him

Yes, but Figgy is a very good third baseman. It was a tough play with a fast runner.
OK true

But that was just awful

Yeah, you know, watching the replay, it was closer at first than I thought.

Might have had a better chance if he set and threw.

Q flashes that awesome arm
Not his fault McCourt can't buy a good lawnmower
Spent it on Manny's fertility treatment?
he should be able to afford one with the money he's saving from Manny's suspension.
Still paying Andruw Jones
I heard that was a lot less then originally led to believe.

Like 6 Million Dollars total, but that is spread out over the course of a few years.

They literally saved like 2 million this year.

3-hopper

He’s definitely clean…

not the best throw

I guess it’s difficult to make that throw when your arms are a foot and a half long

doesn't stop Fuentes
Fuentes arms are about a foot shorter
Fuentesaurus has arms about 8 inches long, and he can throw it 90mph
CRAP
3-run lead

I have confidence in the Cousin

This would be a good time for a double play

just sayin’

need double play please
need a K first
Ok Crazies

Oliver just gave up as many hits as Shields but without getting an out, lets start working on the fanposts about how terrible he is

Shields bad outing

was not just ONE bad outing. The rage was not in response to an isolated event.

Gibe up a run for a DeePee
or a triple play would do
I hate the 8th inning

Curses

Remember when we used to be able to turn the game off at this point?

Ahhh, memories.

can't do that anymore with the Angels.
we still had anxiety

But this year has been something else

c'mon Ollie

Throw STRIKES

please do darn it
the Angels can't keep giving up crucial runs do to walks
*due
didn't know it was English class ;)
here we go with the chants
how about this one?

WE’RE STILL WINNING! WE’RE STILL WINNING! That’ll shut em up

not so much

ouchie.

ahhhhhh

what if we lose Oliver to the dark side of horrid bullpen pitchers???????

AHHHHHHHH

Sac Fly

DP time

I hate the Dodgers c'mon put these fools away already I want no shine for them
did somebody kill

a native american at Angel stadium in the 8th Inning. I think we’s cursed.

So you are saying that "MOJO" discriminates

based on a victim’s ethnicity?

wasn't the old mythos...

that Angels stadium was built on a tribal burial ground. Hence the inability to never win a World Series because of the “evil spirits.”

Trading a run for an out...

…will have to do. Man on first, 1 out, Matt Kemp up.

school this youngin D.O.
you guys see this?

http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?sid=milb&t=g_box&gid=2009_05_24_lanafx_cedafx_1

not when it takes ten minuted to load

it's not a picture, just a link

are links ok? I thought it was just pictures

okay

CR won.. wtf?

Will Smith dominated
this is just crap
UGH

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Damn, jam shot just makes it over
Wow can anyone pitch in the 8th
How about our close Fuentes...?
one too many cut fastballs
NOT PLEASED!!!

:(

Are you f'ing kidding me??????
Oliver sucks pretty bad today
wow why oliver in the 8th their has to be other options then his old ass
Because he's been our best pitcher out of the pen all season?
he's not a late inning pitcher though.
Thank you for your scientific analysis. I'll tell Scioscia.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

observation: Abreu is a tub.

*an unathletic tub
A tub

with a lot of stolen bases.

hey we got the lead back.....sweet
Arredondo.....Fuentes......?
4 hits in 5 batters you suck bro
sure that's the right thing to do - load the bases with 1 out. THIS IS SHIT
It's for the force pal
Figgins leads off

I see runs in our future

Torii is out

who will drive them in?

I'm scared
FUENTASAURUS

RAWR RAWR RAWR RAWR RAWR RAWR RAWR

I have to do work on my DFA Oliver Fanpost

I’ll be back in a minute

WE WANT SWISHER
a double play would be nice

just saying AGAIN

And the force at home
give him that ghetto heat oliver
Breathing but still scared
not breathing and scared
Figgy Fantastic Hops
Figgy wooooo
Nice

crisis averted

It’s on Fuentes now

now I'm REALLY scared
Thank the lord
I survived a heart attack!
Its only may

Watcha gonna due in Aug.

have a stroke
I never knew baseball was so unhealthy
hopefully we will be up like 20 games by that point.
I just crapped my pants
Me too

It’s time to start wearing depends

YES!!!! (sort of)

Can Figgy can play every infield position at once?

yes
haha...

he is fast enough…

I find your ideas intriguing and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
Oh hey, maybe his brother Shane Figgins can play one of them!
we can do it.

we can do it all night.

I forgive you ollie cause I know you can do better
I need a pacemaker!!!
I noticed on the 91 Heading to Cerritos

That the Manny My Town Poster has been replaced by #6 Ethier. AWESOME!

2 insurance runs would be nice
i'll take 10
with Fuentes,

that’s not enough

11/13 says otherwise
why stop at two haha
yeah about 8 of them
how about 20 runs
while I'd like some insurance runs

if no one gets anymore hits I get 2 points.

I need 1 hit for 2 points
if they somehow subtract two runs from both teams without talking away any hits

then I get all 4. possible?

I was sitting on 5 runs and 9 hits for the dogers before Hoffman got that hit and rbi
okay 8

that works

Ok, so we're agreed on 8.

Glad we got that settled.

now "they" just need to get them.
For all the criticism of Scioscia

Can you even imagine having to manage this team? I can’t even watch without laughing, crying, vomiting, crapping my pants. I don’t know what I would have to do if I had to sit in the dugout and not react to anything bad.

You must go through a lot of towels.
especially yesterday

it would have been crap my pants time

I couldn't do it even for a day
F-rex sighting

…look at his little stumpy arms, hear him raaaawwwwwrrr

Santana better be good - I want to see a win by him.
Let's win this one first!
Win or lose i'll still be at the yard tomorrow.
I'm jealous

:-)

Now would be a good time for an Abreu bomb
damn

almost an epic call right there

BOBBY!!!!

BOOM BOOM POW!!!!
So close BOBBY but I'll take a triple.
Nice HR... I mean 3B Bobby
that looked GONE..
Um Matt Kemp trying to pull "a Torii Hunter"

= LOL

Nice try though thats a tough play it's just Torii makes it look so easy.
That's what he gets for trying to put on big boy pants.
Thats the style though man .

Makes you look O.G. and the cholos love it essay.

Rock that top button on the jersey, too.
Kemp showing major concern for his body

The anti-Torii, that’s why Kemp isn’t the coolest man on the planet

doesn't have the wall skills of hunter

-hud

thanks! I'm watching the Dodgers feed cuz its in HD
One day, one day...
haha...

our 20/20 man is gonna be 0/45

Whomever said Abreu was a tub

can apologize now. Dude just made this interesting.

It wasn't interesting for you enough already? You must live in a Chuck Norris movie.
honestly when I wrote that

I thought we were tied up. Didn’t know we had the lead.

sarcasm :)

he just looked like he fell over and rolled at that ball

All I have to say is I hope Bourgos or however you spell his name can hit

even at league average. His defense is suppose to be something special

mini sirloin burgers
mini sirloin burgers
We usually do good things when the commercial comes on
I'll need a b-r.com link to confirm that, please.

;)

mini sirloin burgers
This is a big run

Let’s get it home!

Mini Sirloin Burgers.
IBB to Matthews

= more LOL

Who brings in the reliever to throw the IBB?

strange

special teams
he throws 55mph with reckless abandon

…unlike the other guy apparently

I hope we screw them again

Just like when they IBB’ed Abreu to get to Hunter

Not the low scoring game I envisioned...

I am back for the last inning from washing windows…and not the microsoft kind!

Kool Aid Time

OH yEAH!!!!

Nice running GMJ!!!!
yesssss juan

Agreed

We should stick to the plan. It tested well.

Holy wow!

Naps. 2B now.

I like naps. Even when he's struck out 3 times, he still trusts his eye.
hahahahahahaha
Dodgers imploding
Wow...the Dohhhger wheels are falling off!
Good Hustle Nappy
Naps with the SPEED

Scully: “Charitably, that’s a base hit.”

Yeah, what else could it be?

It’s not an error. Can you have a FC on that?

Not sure

But I will take it, whatever they call it!

Furcal doubleclutch fail

Bases Juiced one out

Is that like doubleplus ungood?
live long and prosper

Good job Erick
Biggest lead of the roolercoaster

-er game

No failBar this time...

excellent!

MINI SIRLOIN BURGERS
we've almost batted around...

I thought Maicer had lower back problems?

...he heard about Frankie's and decided his weren't so bad!
There's always something worse...
He does.... did I miss something?
That's what Hud said at the beginning!
Yes, I know. I was wondering why you brought it up now
he was on deck
Ahh, so I did miss something! :)

I heard that he was available today, but just not starting.

Izzy couldn't play third base today for Figgy because of a stiff back problem
LA Times update

http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-angels-fyi25-2009may25,0,2371898.story

Shields possibly to DL or shut down for next five or six days.

Woooooo!

Best news all day. That means call-ups. That means Reggie Down. Wood up

pitching around Q?
We better put Fuentes in.
No more save opportunity

Still, I agree

great inning fellas
Hey, there were supposed to be 5 more runs that inning.
After near implosion in the 8th

We are now up by more runs than we were when Ollie entered.

See? Ollie rocks.
and gets a Hold, hopefully
Quinlan has increased his BA over 100% the last two games.

outstanding

fuentes in!
Wow...did anyone have 10-6?
no 10s...

someone picked 11 though!

1,2,3 let's get this done
Funtesussaursususususrs
anyone else blackout for a lil
Put down the bottle
yes, - It did that last night too
the angels offense was unconscious for a lil bit there
just meyhem...

;)

I haven't started to blackout yet. It'll probably be somewhere around the 3rd quarter of the Cavs/Magic game.
...was worried about ya...

:)

Fuentes in scares me...

Dodgers have seen him before, he’s going to have to finesse it if we want to keep this 4 run lead.

How hard is Fuentes throwing?

Did he hit 93? That’s about his top speed. He’s usually around 90, 91.

gameday is showing 90
DAMN

now I get a 0.

I think I've had a 0 since the 4th or 5th inning
This sure is a long game. Great to see the Angels fight their way back.

Our guys are not wimps.

c'mon now close this out
Was 3 in the 9th enough?
It's just never easy
fuentasaurus wants to make this interesting
the savage beast

wants a save.

you cant pitch yourself into a save by giving up runs
The roar is weak today
Just need 2 more outs
Well. Note to Fuentes; you can't create your own save opportunity.

Enough.

ohhhh boy...
our bullpen is almost schizophrenic

The ones you think you can trust…you can’t trust. Then, the ones you think you can’t trust, well, they play well. What.

It's like trying to solve a Rubix cube
Good news...

the big russian guy is back tomorrow night…big bad vlad

any guess on roster moves?
Whew, ok, one more
cbs.sportsline has his fastball hitting 89

Not good. That’s too slow.

hes 90-91

Hasn’t pitched in awhile

just 1 more pleassssseeee
cmon one moreeeee
Fuentes is all about guile.
Light it up!!!!!

RAWWARARARARARAWWAARRAAR!!!!!!!!!!!

MINI SIRLOIN BURGERS!!!

YEAH!!!

Alright, light up the halo and run out of town
whew.

two out of three from those blue turds.

yessssssssss
Eybar with the cannon

Just another Halo victory! Woohoo!

and a big F.U.

for the most horrible unclassy fans in baseball
Don’t tell me otherwise
I was there last night

Oh yeah Bragging rights baby haha.
i love LA!
