Kentucky Fry Some Doyers!!!
I hate being first
good thing your second
looks like 1st to me.
Lodge still sucks.
OK I'm here...when's the game start?
MINI SIRLOIN BURGERS!!!

it starts right now. If you make noise…he will come!

Roger Lodge should never come back to the announcers booth again

Go to channel 9. You’ll feel much better. They’re muting the chants a little more too.

cue the Disturbed intro!
Rex is in the house

I feel a big inning coming.

Let's Go Let's Go Angels!
5'10" aybar???
I don't think so
I didn't know they stacked fail that high.

This ump is incredibly tight on that strike zone…

sooooo..

…this isn’t fun yet.

is it safe to say that our win streak came from beating the crap outta horrible teams?

No, but the Dodger’s record has!

Ethier should have caught that ball.
nice one figster
need

some homers

good thing we've got the slap-hitting infield in!

….oh wait

baserunning errors

are getting really effing old.

sleepy baserunning returns
we make so many stupid baserunning blunders

SIGH!!!

Nice job Figgins. That's 2 blunders on the basepaths tonight.

Three times… he should’ve ran to third with Hunter’s hit the other inning.

oh now come on

Jesus Chirst Figgins….

Jesus would've been safe.

Figgins is no Jesus.

WHAT THE HELL

that is the third time Figgins has F’ed up on base today

and the bad baserunnin' continues
Great inning. Sheesh.
WOW figgins has 2 hits but has given them back each time
Figgins BOTG so far
I guess this is what happens when you have a day off during a winning streak

“On this day in 1938, Babe Ruth made his debut, it was also my 21st birthday…”

Today or in 1938?

Either way, happy birthday.

lmao no not me, just something that Vin was saying… with the second half added on.

Geez, look what you did!
ooy
can you imagine that Vin was 21 in 1938, amazing
Nah. He was 43 in 1938
you almost had me there
Happy Birthday

It would have been my dad’s 74th bday today.

Again, it is not really my birthday… that won’t happen for another 5 1/2 months, lol.

This is more entertaining than the game!

I can’t stop laughing.

well then I want my birthday greeting back.

no seriously!

Ok

So I was talking mess on Lodge. But he just replied to an e-mail I sent to the sports lodge email. so as much as I think he’s a hack, I find it refreshing he’d read an email.

What'd you write?

And what was his reply?

If you don’t mind me asking.

I asked him...

“Where is Dave Smith, I thought you were strictly platonic life partners…”

His response was “Not tonite!!!!!
I”m solo!!"

That was pretty cool.
He's read a few of mine on the air on the Sports Lodge

I wonder if he recognized the email.

he's good at answering e-mails - of course he answers them from his phone.
I mailed him back...

Just a suggestion. But if you are preaching to the fans to wear Red all week, you should have, I don’t know, wore red?

Bless ya Lodge. Keep shilling the show.

This ump has no consistency. Does he pick teh call BEFORE the pitch?

he's an old bum just like all the rest of the league umpires
The Dodgers DH is helping his team much.

as I pass by the computer to grab another Bud-lite.

Torii BB

….Vlad GIDP?

NOOOOOOOOOO!

i am praying

way to be positive
lemme try again...

Torii BB
….Vlad GIDP? :)

better?

no DP please
come on Vlad

take him deep. you are due!!!

OK, Vlad. This is called the clutch.

wooooo vladdddddy
NEEEEEEEEEEEED

HOMERS

that'll do, Vlad

not bad, sir.

quick say something about juan
hey juan...

…you suck!

LOL

i’m praying that translates into a tie game

lucky bastard.

effin Blake

damnit…..but i’ll take it

robert duval

umpiring?

THAT explains it!

Looks like Wilfred Brimley umpiring at 3rd.

Open the windows. Time to hear the fireworks!!!

c'mon Juan

time to hit it over the fence (fair)

lets go Juan!!!
i can haz moar homerz???
just missed
that's twice.

same pitch, too

lets go kendry!!!
It was pretty close.

They’re at risk for the GIDP.

My Man Kendry.

dude

ump sucks. srsly. does he have a zone??

The ump took some vicodin before the game!

I'm going to want to take some after the game.

You’re killing me larry!

kendry driving one here would be nice
who needs a zone

when you swing at that

bad ump calls

bad swings

let's go, Gitmo!
cmon

no walks, DONGS R BETTER

whoa whoa.......

that could be um……interpreted wrongly

That’s that northern california thinking there….

C’mon Angels!!! These guys are BUMS!!! hehehehhe

Vin keeps wondering if Vlad’s gonna go…

good AB

time to make it a great one

Hells yeah

Walk the Kow Bell.

Our best hitters keep getting walked…

nice ab for kendry
we're going streaking!
ok micetits

its clutch time

Where’s the monkey!!!!

MIGHTY MAICER
and Vladdy made it to home
that might just be more impressive than Maicer's

slap.

Maicer

Awesome.

ANTI GAP

ANTI DONG

I NO CARE

2 RUNS!

WIN!!

Gazoo comes through!

i can't believe

“Glass Knees” Guerrero scored!

I'd love to see S-Rod get at bats.

But Maicer is so clutch.

THERE"S the little bastard!!!

I have always loved Maicer

he is so good in the clutch

Vlad with the wheels!!!
now's a real good time, Nappy
just thinking that myself
i feel a 3 run blast coming
i'd settle for a sac fly
good call scotty
to think this rally started when i switched to Vin
you have to be a patient lover

cant always knock one out of the park

Naps

Drive my fantasy league bus.

the second i start

leaving mean spirited comments on random blogs, they score runs!

MIGHTY MAICER!
i love how he came up thinking hit right away
that was a good pitch
Squeeze it

Naps.

Billingsley at 108 pitches
that cop looks like

he wants to shoot a dodger fan tonight

any1 else notice Naps new tattoo on his arm
twas noticed a while ago
Nice Nipples
back to back runs driven in by tits and nipples
tie game!

sweeeeeeet

Anaheim has mmore cops on light duty at events than any town I know.

Eat It!

Bitch!

TIE GAME!!!

BOOYAHHH

how'd he hit the ball that far?
just thinking the same thing

he’s scary strong

whatcha mean? Naps is more power hitter than plopper
he swung one handed at a change-up at his shoe-tops
and it almost hit the track
oh....that.....it's my Nappy-Man!
holy doink,

napoli is strong

he barely tapped that with a flick of those boob loving meat hooks

I'll admit it - I had given up
i know i thought u were gone
told ya they didn't perk up until the 7th...this is foreplay
Rally Rally Hit it up the Alley

The Pitchers name is Sally

whoever said game over last inning

FAIL

Way to go Naps, Torre lets his pitchers throw a lot of pitches
The Pharoh getting to second was sweet
SMH at all of you who wanted dongs.
Yay Naps!

Yay Angels! Tied it up now.

hey Aybar...

don’t fail this time

why don't you just tell him

to grow wings and fly.

i was trying that reverse psycology thing...

but Aybar doesn’t get it.

Lots of leather in this game
homers win games

groundouts do not

muscle up aybar

there’s a reason he’s batting 9th

same reason I'd have Maicer at SS

And S-Rod at 2nd.

there's also a reason

why Wood should be our SS

In a perfect world...

In a perfect world.

stupid un-perfect world...
Seriously

In my world… Figgins in LF, Wood at 3B, Hanley at SS.

darn but the team shows some spunk and ties it
good to se the bats wake up!
POTG: bills
Texas is winning 4-3
comepletely forgot about that game
Rangers have taken the lead 4-3 in the 6th
I've been rooting for the Giants to gain ground.

But realistically we just stomped a mud-hole in the Gs and walked it dry. They should be easy pickings for a while.

this might be his last inning

at 100 pitches

Juan keeps ending up looking that kid in the face.

nice play Admiral
giants just took lead 5-4
aybar should hit with his glove
Aybar

Clinic Tonight

on hitting?
he needs to be sent to a clinic

there

they put those on in Salt Lake, i hear
BTW

Howie homered in SLC tonight… drove in the only 2 runs of the game so far for the Bees.

nice throw Aybar

but we need you to hit too please.

Aybar shows his potential……I think he’ll be great one day. Go ahead throw stuff at me.

i have my stove aimed right at u
Giants have just reclaimed the lead

Fred Lewis just hit a 2 run home run

great.

Joe’s on my fantasy team and I’ll get nothing.

get the rolaids ready
well......not the best job by Joe......

but it coulda been alot worse…….left the game as he started it……all tied

considering where this game was headed...

i’ll take it.

Giants 5 Rangers 4 End 6
1 more out bulger
Bulger's got great stuff

i just hope he can put it all together. then leave it all together

infield single for Furcal

Bulger always looks STRESSED out there

Sorry, Phyzz, but I gotta hear Vin.

Phyzz isn't on TV tonight
u mean rory?

I didn’t even listen, so ok, rory.

Bulger K!

siiiiiiiick hook!

That was an interesting stat

17 of Bulger’s 19 appearance were scoreless

which makes his 4.94 ERA that much worse.
Yeah, when he was bad

he was terrible

nice pitch Bulger!!!
Nice job Bulger
STFD blake

he should hit with his glove too

who scored the 4th run for us?
kendry

sac fly by naps

Naps sac fly scored Morales
The Angels have been good lately pooping up the other teams' ace pitching records.
i hate that effing song.
why?
cuz its 2009, not 1979
or whenever that song came out
i just heard that lady owner's voice

of the cleveland indians in “major league”

uhh oh there playing the damn buttercup song
i feel a Torii bomb coming
Figgy is too busy winking

at Pierre to put out an effort tonight.

That guy pitching looks like

a skinnier version of Sean O’Sullivan

both this game and the Giants game are really good

im watching the Texas game on my comp its pretty intense

OT -

Working till 1AM blows…………

where do u work?

im curious now

and what do you do?
Dispatch for LE.....

at a lake……

LE?

Law Enforcement......

Park Rangers to be exact

which lake?
Whiskeytown......
get a lot of action at 10 pm in Whiskeytown?
that a personal or business question?
....can't it be both? ;)
Mostly bay area hippies smoking the grass....

and teenage boys drinking Keystone……lol

lol

that sounds about right

they try to use their 215 card as an excuse.....

but thats a state law that allows them to smoke……

we here are considered Federal land……

takin down dem hippies
they usually have the best stuff though.......

not that I use it……but it’s the best smelling atleast.

lol

freaking hippies…

pablo sandoval just made another error for the Giants

he had like 5 vs the angels

RALLY MONKEYYYYYY

Giants just got out of Texas having bases loaded.

yeah i was watching on my comp

it was pretty intense

Vlad bomb.

i’m calling it

my bad.
reverse of the reverse

FAIL….damn!

OK, call it

just make it happen

Why did you have to call it

Vlad is horrible with a guy on first!

Vlad did indeed bomb
you made a crank call
too predictable
Skinny chick with dark hair medium length hair on

buffalo chicken JITB commercial looks like Lincecum

lol

yeah pretty much.

Every time I see Darren Oliver

I think… Danny Glover saying, “I’m getting to old for this shit!” from Lethal Weapon.

Is the memorial gone from the front of teh stadium?

nope.

still there

no but they have made it smaller
yeah the flowers die eventually......

dont want it to look trashy…….

It looked like when they showed the front of the stadium it was gone….I woulda been angry.

that is an old shot they dont have a live camera out there
It looks nice. Lots of caps and baseball etc. No flowers anymore
need one more out
This game has been quite the

Clusterfbomb

freaking loretta is clutch cargo

Perfect spot for Shields

two out and we need a groundball out.

Justin

I’ll go postal, dude. Pitch. Well. VERY well!

I’m gonna kick his ass.

does our bullpen even know what a strike is?
Speier......

you sir…are a b****

speier.......COME ON! (a la Arrested Development)
OH COME ON

I loved that show. I hope the movie films a scene at the Angel’s Stadium.

And they are going o leave him in to face a lefty?

we are stewed screwed and tattooed

....we're Napoli'd?

THAT was a strike.

THROW F'IN STRIKES
now do it again, Speier

ARE you sure, ump?

where'd that miss?!
Speeiririeieiriiree just pisses me off sometimes ...

C’MON STRIKE EM OUT!!!

he better not pull a JOE
im gonna have a heart attack!

I think I might cry. Our bullpen is growing up right before our eyes.

YES!!!!!

WOOOOOOOOO!!!!

F YESSSSS

good night guys. I'm leaving you

in Maicer’s hands.

featured the meat of the Dodgers order actually…

Yeah, but Furcal can make stuff happen
and so can hudson

3-4 tonight

dong da dong dong

dong

Napoli

buy some damn insurance

too bad he wont get any love.....

but Juan deserves some ALL STAR consideration

That was such a pretty home run
1 Dong is nice

2 dongs is nicer

blake and hudson have hit fuentes the hardest in the past

fuentes has a 2.32 career ERA against the dodgers.

5-4 ... I'll take that
I'll take it when the games over
grab your drinks

fuentes time

welcome everybody to the wild, wild west
the stadium is infested

with dodger fans

i HATE doyer fan
Back in the beginning,

When someone on the Angels DIDNT tag for home, tons of people cheered

that's usually a good sign

now he can get 2 outs with 1 pitch

Uh-ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
18 saves ...

but what’s his era?

not where it should be
60% of the time

this works everytime

LOL

pretty much

no whammy no whammy no whammy
whoa ... was that Obama logic?
nice pitch
Let's do this thing!
That was a strike

bullpen POTG

kept’em in it the whole game

First place is in sites this weekend, gents

and ladies.

I don't understand what Rivera is saying???
did my tv just switch to telemundo?
Dude, your country has turned to telemundo
Um. This was mexican land before it was USA.

So “turned to” is a matter of perspective. Let’s have some respect for our neighbors to the south.

Didn't the US win the Mexican-American War?

but if you really want to blame someone for making Cali part of the US … blame Zachary Taylor.

In much the same way that the moon belongs to the United States
guaranteed a HR

rivera u beast

Man, Fuentes might make the All Star game if he keeps this up.
