cmon lets get out of this
Make an out John
Nice Double Play there
man that girl can't catch at all
Rev -- what's the pitch count for a new thread?
OK...he's not getting more than 10.

Get him outta there

nice turn nice scoop
any news on Torii?
since he was gatting x-rays

no

I like the way

“X-Rays” links to what I assume is the Rays’ page

yeah, is that automatic?
S-Rod!!!!!!!!!!
YES!!!!!!!
************HOMERUN*******Sean the Babtist!************
Boo Yea

that’s a legit HR, not some PCL induced homer

I love it!

Go Baptist Go!

wait.. what?

middle infielders can hit homeruns? wtf?

Hoooooooooooomerun!!!

Hi guys

The S Rod Has Landed!
S-ROID!

At least you are consistent.

Sean Rod

getting some action

We got yer Summer of Love

Right here, hippies!

Can S-Rod teach that swing to Vlad????

can vlad have one too

yes he can has one!
or not...

but its a hit at least!

We're definitely into LOLCAT territory now

Next up: All Your Base references

Don’t listen to him Sean.

Pinch hit knock for Vlad
Scioscia looked pissed, did you see that?
when?
when Sean hit the HR

when they showed him going into the dugout, Sosh looked mad

When he was high fiving him?
of course it wasn't his boy Izzy doing it....
even vladdy gets a hit today...
Vlad = 1b

hmmm, get well on NL pitching

Vladdy base hit
Vlade's our new slap hitter
GodDAMN I love DVRs

Out taking a piss when he went yard.

out? You peed outside?
LOL! They make-up for a lot of in game snoozing...
And Vladdy

Is he back?

Turned on it….

Vlad should be our new PR

we win more when hes not in the lineup…or so it seems.

no he's from dom rep
Excuse my ignorance...

….but wasn’t Sean Rodriguez a little singles hitter last year??

my thoughts exactly…and 11 errors at SLC…wasn’t he our defensive web gem a night?

That's what I thought too.

Maybe he has been going through Gary Matthews bags.

LOL at Vlad's attempt at a slide.
Figgy

getting Vlad off the basepaths

Vlad done for the night...drive home safely
Vlad didnt even make it to the bag...

wtf?

¡Si!

I thought he should be saying that.

Has anyone gone over to look around at McCovey Chronicles to see what they're saying?
Nope
Just wondered what they had to say about Torii
Nice things I am sure

The Giants should like the Angels to some degree we spared them from signing GMJ

2nd to last comment in their thread

is scareduck thanking Giants fans for being classy with Torii

not that much action

When was the last time the Angels starting SS and 2B had a homerun in the same week

let alone the same game?

Gotta love the Speier.

lol

Justin "First-pitch-homerun" Speier
Spier the Clown in to pitch.

Gives up a homer.

Oppo field BLAST

Off Chris’ son

that thing was WAY out to LCF…WTF?

unreal

and it begins

SPEIER PUTTIN OUT THE FEIER
Justin Speirer

Score’s gettin higher

Anyone that read my coin flip comment will understand...

Oh, must’ve landed nails side DOWN

everyone else will have a puzzled look
SLC update:

Kendrick: 2 for 4 with a double

Wood: Grand Salami

Arrondondo: 3 K’s one walk, no runs, no hits in one inning.

Sorry if someone already posted this info…

Wood is still in Salt Lake

thought we brought him up

one must come before him to prepare the way

that man is Sean the Baptist

Wood is gonna have it tougher...

Aybar and Chone are HOT.

Never fear...

some weird fluke injury will put one of them down for the season before long…so he can join the rest of our pitching staff and Vlad

now that is just funny! Nice play

plus, if the angels keep winning

I dont think HK will be back no matter how good he is hitting.

Since there isn't a chance ot do Howard's ads in SLC

Maybe HK47 can concentrate on baseball instead.

Evil Speier

His Dad was a minor Giants legend. Maybe there is some karma at work.

doubt it

seems to happen no matter who the opponent is

nice start Speier....NEXT pitcher please
At this rate, they'll bring in Fuentes for a save opp
speier was the reason

K-rod got those saves

Can I have the 2007 Speier please?
Or the earlier 2009 Speirer
You know, Speier doesn't give up that many hits... but when he does....

Kind of like Bulger the Grand Slam King

Dude,

where were you in 08?

Rolling over in my grave

Because Speirer was giving up so many HR’s

Oliver warmin' up
yes and we stopped the bleeding
That wasn't close
"they know they have the arms done there(the bullpen) to be successful"

what pen is he talking about… cant be ours

Dude Speier you gave up a 450 foot opposite field homer

why don’t you keep the arm pumps to a minimum alrighty?

or brian bruney will bad mouth you too
K3yerout = Lewis
CPK Meter

Nice signature…except I thought we had a blowpen?

The sig stays.
Correction...

Mini cowpen.

Did someone send Lackey the pregasm about K's tonight?
Does the red represent

Actually ball 3?

Speier's K came with some blood on his hands...
Didn't need to sa such a big word Rory

The bullpen SUCKS would have been enough

That was a strike

Not.

We are getting too many close calls. That sh-t will BITE you in the A$$ eventually.

Or maybe they are repayign us for all the screw jobs up to this point?
what?

we’re still covering the scars

eh...

it was debatable…

just above the knees?

Kendrick appearing in Angel commercials =

awwwwkward!

Didnt you hear?

He owns a television/appliance store.

thats the OTHER Howard!
he's not completely gone
Maybe if he's not taping new Howard's spots

he can concentrate on getting his swing back (along with some baserunning sense)

speiers era under 5

i thought that would never happen

Bruised rib...
Some awesome dude called that one.
Torri has a bruised rib

did i hear that right?

Yeah. And that was called "nothing unusual"
Thats the best news I have heard all day
Torii Update:

X-Rays show nothing abnormal in rib cage. Possibly a contusion.

So this doesn’t sound like it’s too serious.

thank you god
Im watching a feed online....

and the chat room to the feed is talking about HH and how they heard and think we are nuts on here.

WTF?

What feed is that?
nuts for the rib diagnosis or nuts in general
huh?

what’s their point?

I'd be the cashew.
i'm the chin nut
ouch

I’m a MACadamia.

I'd be the Brazil nut, but I don't have that suave latin look,

So I’ll be the coconut instead

I am the pistachio

because they are tasty

F.

They are tasty. I should have called that.

Nuts

Torii ran into a Nut advertisment.

ladybug called it

rib contusion…gotta hurt when you do baseball stuff though

I think it might have had something to do with him holding his rib.
Just give him some tussin
or soak it in cider...
Torii has got to know the score in that situation and play that ball off the fence!
agreed but easier said than done
no way

you’re right but too much pride

maybe, but the way he hit the wall reminded me too much of Griffey when he broke his wrist...

baaaaaadddd

and edmunds when....

all the freaking time

Love the guy

But Grif is made out of glass

Otherwise he would own every single offensive number. Every one.

Absorutely...
Perhaps he was compensating for the bullpen?
wow nice pitching there Kevin
If Jepsen gets 3 consecutive outs

does he become our main setup guy be default?

we could sure use a 95 mph gasser in the pen right now…

123 is out of the question….

finish this off kevin
That's it...

No more WBC for any Halos!

Shieldsy down. Jepsen sucks until the DL stint…

and all of abreu's power
Was Chupa an Angel by then?
yes I remember being pissed he would not play left for Venezuela
Jepsen, best ever.

Short term memory rocks.

ha, i knew it was too good to be true
this is the type of game last year where Frankie would get a 1 pitch save
You prefer, what, the 25 pitch blown save?
nah just saying Frankie has a TON of save opps last year
jon miller keeps singing

eli’s coming

tres annoying

anybody knew the strikeout comparison off the top of their heads

for picks reasons of course

Lackey had 10.

Zito got chased. You do the math

Watch out

I saw Jepsen give up 5 runs with two outs in Triple A earlier this year…

WARNING!!!

I just saw Jepsen give up 3 with 2 outs real quick....
5 run lead...get the closer up
I'd like to know why KLAA 830says "Big Vladi Daddy"?? It's Big Daddy Vladi, dorks
Hey BRIAN.....
I mean BRYAN
BURNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

B URNNNN BURNNNN BURNNNN BURNNNNNN

How did he hit that pitch out to oppo again??????
get him out!!!
Wow= failure
our bull pen BLOWS!!!!

is houston street on a plane to anaheim yet??

check that

San Francisco

I hate that bitch but I'd take him in a heartbeat
Dear Jepsen

“Not ready for prime time” is like, 30 years old.

Jepsen showing why he had an ERA of 9.00 in SLC.
What a Fraking blownpen
I smell gasoline
I predicted this.
See my 9:36 post.
Congratulations

Did you also predict the sun coming up in the west?

Yes. I also predicted that water would be wet
West = east

Sarcasm broken today.

you predicted the worst bullpen in baseball would fold?

Color me impressed

did i NOT just say WATCH OUT...

JEPSEN SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS

I blame you.
blame our crappy pitcher Jepsen...

the guy throws nothing but fastballs down the middle. BOOOO….

huh?

say he sucks all you want, but he didn’t throw fastballs down the middle

the first hit the guy went with a fastball on the outside corner, and the other two hits were on curves, the one Sandoval hit actually wasn’t that bad either

Its called the radio...

its this device where you cant see things but have to listen.

then say he sucks

but don’t describe how he sucks ;)

I will finish it...

CKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow fuentes is gonna get a sv opportunity
Jepsen and Speier

sittin’ in a tree.

And there went Lackey's game winning base hit...
OMG!! UNF*ingBELIEVABLE!!!
not very ladtbuglike
ladtbuglike
my ketboard sucks
ROFL..ot's ok Moondoggt
Must be the swine flu

mine is sucking also

and this isn't very bullpen-like!!!
Unfortunately, it's very *our* bullpen like
It's OK...

L’bug is one of the guys.

only much cuter
If you say so!!!
Kevin Jepsen

FUDJING GUTLESS

The ROFLPEN

talk about getting a chance and completely blowing it.

Fuentes is in an NL park though....

so he should be good.

Gotta love a bullpen which ROUTINELY turns huge leads into save situations
Lack gets 10 K's, 1 RBI

And he might not even win this one.

I'm guessing that

the Sosh didn’t invite the bullpen to that closed door meeting last week

fer real

they missed the memo

They shoulda put in Bulge.

The bases were empty, so he wouldn’t give up a homer. He only gives up homers with bases loaded.

Um, just checking in online, but why is the Panther vote up so early...

Rev, hope you didn’t jinx it

Yes, San Francisco.

Boo a strike right down the middle.

What a stupid, stupid game
YEAHHHHHHHH We WIN
LIGHT UP THE HALO!!!!!

Just another Angels’ Victory!!!!

yes light it up
I'm pretty sure I have a better chance of getting an out than anyone in the bullpen
HARHARHAR

SERIOUSLY that was nuts.

Light it UP!!!!!!!!!
K-rod type save

only one out.
Well light it up

Napoli looked pissed.
Do you blame him?
Fuentes getting a taste of what frankie got a lot of
Scary

Scary. Scary.

But I’ll take it

on a lighter note...

we are only 2 games out of 1st place…how scary is that?

On a @#%$ note ...

Torii is getting banged up, our catchers can’t hit, Vlad and Abreu have been less than stellar … our bullpen is crap, and our starters – though wicked – have been incredibly injury prone. If even one of these variables [aside from Torii] weren’t true, we would be running away with the division.

But on the bright side,

Abreu went deep and Napoli went 2-4.

Light it!

damn bullpen

are you 5ive in other worlds?
Honest Abe

was my fav.

No need to light anything up the bullpen is a freaking gas can
a win is a win is a win

light it up

Agree

Sanchez tomorrow should be an even matchup against O’Sullivan, but Wednesday we have two chances against Lincecum: slim and none. Unless the Defense and Offense for the Giants play down to their usual level.

It was a joke
The secret to success in 2009...

…score enough runs that the blowpen can’t possibly screw-up.

And we are at our season high over .500. 4 games!!!!..and only 2 games behind that team from Tejas!

That is worthy of a celebration to me!!!!!

Thank Jeebus we took our roids today.

Just 2 games back!
