the irnoy:

SBN invented that for me to keep A’s fans from trolling here in 2006!

Heh.

Like a 10 Day waiting list on buying a firearm?

Dude, a punk move like posting on their site to try and jinx their perfect game is the best way to ensure that

he DOES get a perfect game. Karma’s like that.

Hmn.

I dunno. I’m owed quite a bit by my Karma. I’d let it all even out.

Figgins bloop hit to right

Figgi4life - July 19, 2009 via mobile reply

Bobby "come through" Abreu

Bobby skills!

Now to SCORE.

CRAP

quit washing his balls phyzz and rex

WOW...Of course!!

But were still doomed

Figgi4life - July 19, 2009 via mobile reply

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

wow that sucked

Thank you, Bobby

Note to self: send one box of kleenex to Fizz

Phyzzard

ill now be low-key sulker the rest of the way.

uhhhhh OK

great baserunning

wow, bad base running continues

Wow, it looked from that angle like he beat the tag into the base.

TOTALLY

ump punishes him for getting caught off without him ever getting picked off

Picked off?

Are you trying for 27 up, 27 down?

Don’t worry, the 28th hits a bunt HR.

Should we go back to the 1st thread now?

To be fair I think Rex was still behind us, he didn't want the Halos to be no hit

unlike Phys

A G R E E

Remember the 1994 perfecto against us by Kenny Rogers?

Wasn’t Ken Wilson going bonkers on the Rusty Greer plays?

I think that game was 4-0 so maybe it was out of reach?

ESPN

Shows the first two outs, and then the hit.

He calls it a pinch-hit single. WTF

Figgi4life - July 19, 2009 via mobile reply

just watched that

but cmon its espn what do u expect

Yeah,

just odd.
I mean, where’d he get the idea it was a PH?

Figgi4life - July 19, 2009 via mobile reply

The A's broadcaster immediately before the hit:

“Anderson has not allowed a base runner all day."

see, it wasn't our jinx

it was their’s. haha.

He wont have a job tomorrow

Kinda Obvious Sosh...

cant get a hit all game.. Of course sosh is gonna steal the first chance he gets to get Bobby into scoring position… Maybe not on the first pitch huh bobby??

Lackey has retired 9 in a row.

His own mini perfect game.

whats lackeys pitch count

l o w

just said 71

71

Figgi4life - July 19, 2009 via mobile reply

73

Now. Heh.

that angel mom was a MILF

THE O.C.

The “C” is for “C O U G A R”

There's a ranger Sunday game

That’s time is TBD…

Sunday Night Baseball, anyone?

Figgi4life - July 19, 2009 via mobile reply

not ESPN

too f’ing hot in Texas for afternoon games this time of year

Yeah time says 5:05 so must be ESPN

its the only game scheduled for 5:05

nah they're showing 2 sub-500 teams (again)

Mets vs Braves

Fred Fredrix - July 19, 2009 reply

yeah theyre showing that game at 3

because of the ESPYs

oh I think you're talking about 8/9/09

no way in hell Sunday night baseball

Boston is at Yankee Stadium that night

Then why's it TBD?

Figgi4life - July 19, 2009 via mobile reply

good question

but if you think they’ll show Texas @ Us instead of BOS @ NYY, you’re crazy

DUUUHHHHH Phys

that is the t-shirt they gave away….

Know what's funny?

If someone gives up one hit in the first, then goes 6 hitless innings, it’s the same as no-hitting someone through 6.2, and yet the person who gives up his hit in the first gets NO recognition

Figgi4life - July 19, 2009 via mobile reply

Well...

We’ve had that once. And he got recognition for pitching a no hitter after the first batter.

And that guy is pitching today!

What a coincidence

Yeah,

But he didn’t get nearly as much as someone who did the same thing differently (And yes, in context, that sentence does make sense :P )

Also, remember Lackeys near no-no against the Red Sox?

Figgi4life - July 19, 2009 via mobile reply

Its the recognition leading up to the hit.

Of course Anderson is going to get more coverage.

It's been really interesting to watch Lackey pitch without that changeup.

I really don't like that corner he's giving Anderson on those curves.

+1

A few of those are having me wonder.

Cmon and kill that lefty

Lets go NAPS

Great eye Naps.

Power nap?

Figgi4life - July 19, 2009 via mobile reply

Almost

And I DID post that before he hit it

Figgi4life - July 19, 2009 via mobile reply

no walks for Anderson, but pitch count at 91

Damn

damn it!!

So close

oh my.

damn thought that was gone

oooh

AmyAngel - July 19, 2009 reply

Damn

ugghh soooo close

Oh, you've gotta be KIDDING me.

How did that not get out?

balls go to die in that ballpark

almost nice try

Off the bat I was already celebrating

Damn

Lackey comes out of the mysterious

Door

Figgi4life - July 19, 2009 via mobile reply

Why is Matthews in??

I would rather have K-Mo play CF, at least he can hit.

matthiasstephan - July 19, 2009 reply

TMI Dugout Shot

Napoli cussing, Lackey walking out from taking a dump

lol

Big John did have that satisfied look on his face, as he brushed his brow

"Napoli says 'Darn it!' "

I have a feeling it was a * little * more colorful than that…

Figgi4life - July 19, 2009 via mobile reply

as was

John’s contribution to Oaktown’s plumbing

normal day for HGH

gonna be 0-3

Howard

Figgi4life - July 19, 2009 via mobile reply

That double makes me want to buy a TV.

With my Angels Extra Bases credit card.

YEAHHHHHHHHHH

Nice try Juice.

HK47!!

Where is Amezaga?

We're the ONE team in the Majors without one.

So yeah.

I'll take that.

yes phys reminds us of that on a daily basis.

HK, come on Brandon, avoid the trip back to SLC tommorow

Do it Woody!

Go Howie!

tcberry - July 19, 2009 reply

c'mon woody you can do it

And only one has given up an extra base hit.

Sorry REV...

In regard to the Pre-Game Picks violation!! MY BAD

just a reminder from me

Thank You!!

You're here?

Figgi4life - July 19, 2009 via mobile reply

I want one big hit

Figgi4life - July 19, 2009 via mobile reply

A pain.

oooh

shocking

AmyAngel - July 19, 2009 reply

eaten alive

bad wood

why do they show the replay of wood striking out like this is an a's broadcast

+1

WTF is anyone else wondering why they replayed that Wood K

before the commercial??

Brandon

Flight to SLC leaves at 6:30 … O’Sullian might already be in KC waiting at the hotel desk

Hope not...

O'Sullivan is pitching

Figgi4life - July 19, 2009 via mobile reply

phyz has something to do with that i bet

about the wood k

Brandon showing so much potential there.

I have a fever.............

Figgi4life - July 19, 2009 via mobile reply

And the only cure is

Figgy in the 9th!

Figgins

Then K-Mo

Figgi4life - July 19, 2009 via mobile reply

Fred Fredrix - July 19, 2009 reply

Looked like GMJ could have got there easier though

but still looked sweet

Good Aybar, you get a treat.

lol

Easy little can of corn there

I think I twisted my neck watching it

WHAT A JUGGLING BRILLIANT CATCH IN SHALLOW CENTEFIELD

—Steve Physioc (yelling)

“What a Tough Catch”
—Rex Hudler (relaxed)

and....

“should’ve left it for Matthews to get’
- MattUK (moody)

AmyAngel - July 19, 2009 reply

Anderson is done.

Sit down. Stay down.

105 pitches.

See??????

Even the A’s fans want K-Mo to play!

(In response to banging the cowbells)

Figgi4life - July 19, 2009 via mobile reply

Soth better

pinch hit for mendoza mathis!

Kendry Oh My Hitting Streak?

Has Wilson had an AB since he's been up?

No

Figgi4life - July 19, 2009 via mobile reply

No time like the present.

nope..

i'd say

izzy leads off, K-mo bats for Willits? i dunno..

I would use Izzy to start things and see what happens and then use KMO as needed

Got him looking!

Why is it when we score eleventy-bajillion runs

We can’t do squirt the next day?

Checking in late again

wow, 8 shutout innings for both pitchers?

TheKingfish - July 19, 2009 reply

K'ed

SIENTATE

6 K

John – shts that cowbell down.

Maybe we pinch hit KOWBELL KENDRY for Mathis here…

Wackey?

mastermind565 - July 19, 2009 reply

Attaway

Hey rev/Scottnak

If nobody in this game ever scores, is yes or no the correct answer to “Angels score first”?

Figgi4life - July 19, 2009 via mobile reply

... what?

joke post? lols.

Going into the 9th... Game time: 1hour 45min

yesterday we were in the 4th inning at 1 hr, 45 min

Fred Fredrix - July 19, 2009 reply

Followed by Wilson K-Mo PH HR

Figgi4life - July 19, 2009 via mobile reply

Figgi4life - July 19, 2009 via mobile reply

Mighty maicer

at least MIke is pinch hitting Mathis

K

Nothing doing in the Angels 'pen.

damn..

mathis could’a done that..

darn, Mathis could have done that

hook lackey up please

Willits bunt

Figgi4life - July 19, 2009 via mobile reply

why is willits hittin?

he is batting

he is not hitting

yeah, no Juan?

Juan

is hurting

They said he could DH

Figgi4life - July 19, 2009 via mobile reply

Mice Tits

be slumping lately

i'd say K-mo should pinch hit here

but who would play left next inning?

Q

Willis Tower.

Willits uncorks first HR

to win the game

time for school

WAKE UP!!!

yup

and then vlad will actually hit the cutoff man

Know what's funny?

Willits could have been as good as Inge was in the HR derby…

Figgi4life - July 19, 2009 via mobile reply

Damn.

K

C'mon Mr. All Star Third Baseman.

Show us what you got!

Man oh man

the league SO has Willits’ number

I wish they would give Terry Evans a shot, the guy is like 29 years old so he doesn't need more seasoning in SLC

I've got more hope for Chris Pettit myself.

Long term, I agree but isn't Chris hurt and not playing

Yeah, broke his arm or something.

he's rehabbing in tempe right now..

went 2-2 with 2 BB’s in last nights game..

Figh

Figgi4life - July 19, 2009 via mobile reply

crap

Ugh.

wow

the strikezone has miraculously gotten HUGE..

I thought it has been all day, thus this pitcher's duel.

its been big

but that last inning it stretched up and outside somehow..

I hate extra innings on the road.

Oh yes I do.

At least we have one more inning before the bullpen.

The worst part about no one in the stadium is that you can hear the douche bag yelling in the stands.

Me have bad feeling about this inning..

Figgi4life - July 19, 2009 via mobile reply

hush

What happened to Bootcheck?

Can we lend him to the A’s?

Figgi4life - July 19, 2009 via mobile reply

Wilson in.

DH intact.

but if izzy would have went in as a position player

our DH would have been lost right?

Right.

If Naps had come in to catch.

Base hit AK.

I'm hittin the road

GO HALOS

Figgi4life - July 19, 2009 via mobile reply

Kennedy on base.

Another ex-Angel comin' up.

Sac bunt situation.

he will get it down also

DP

happens all the time

sac – AK on 2B, 1 gone

note

just saw the aybar play on espn

Bunt.

Fair. Sac.

John will nibble on Hairston

probably will walk him

Hair.

Two outs. Runner at third.

...and a rookie catcher....

Oh boy.

True.

Fears unfounded

Crowd cheering

drowning out Physioc

The crowd cheer does seem to be in the same key as his voice

One more John.

get the out.....

5-3

AK to 3B, 2 gone

Halladay? Holliday? What's today?

# It would be SO nice #

for no one being there - it's pretty loud

Imagine it if it was full

not that that will ever happen

c'mon Lackey!

don’t break my heart today.. get the out, lets go to extras!

1-2 to Matt.

AK at third. 2 outs.

nice save BDUB

WILSON

I LOVE YOU

Nice block Bobby.

game savin' block!!!

WTF HE WENT!?

agh c'mooooo

Popped up!

WOOD!

Did I say I hated foul territory?

trojanangelfan - July 19, 2009 reply

extras here we go!!

the kid makes the play

salmonforever - July 19, 2009 reply

Extra Innings

Get it!!!

he caught that like GMJ

Nice job Wood.

And WAY TO GO BIG JOHN.

Should get a CGSO.

Agreed.

But then we’d have to give one to Anderson too.

I see the problem.

We’re in a Perfect Game thread.

thanks fizz for letting me know, in the middle of a critical, situation what state the catcher is from

salmonforever - July 19, 2009 reply

I was lol at that too.
