LETS GO HALOS
Jeez...

How many of these are we gonna need this season?

We needed 49 in 2002. Sounds like a record we could break. :-P
Excellent work, sir
TIE GAME OH GOD YES
NAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPSs

Game Tied

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Its Kool Aid Man for the tie

MORE RALLY BEERS!!!!

Corona is the ticket!

Napsilicious indeed

I’l ltake that bobblehead now

I want a Mike Napoli bobblehead now

Thank God I’m going to that game.

**************HOMERUN**********Mike Napoli!****************
Gimme Moar Please Gimme Moar of that sweet sweet lovin.
Napoli is so getting laid
Holy CRAP

Rally blouse Napoli!

The Admiral fails to deliver
K-bar
and his friend GMJunk
let the record show...

I am NOT a fan of GMJ but I am beginning to accept Aybar

Come on HGH, do something right for once
Don't swing like a girl Junior
Juice, you are not Mike Napoli. Do not swing like you are mike napoli.
I know Mike Napoli, sir. Mike Napoli wa a friend of mine. And you, sir, are no Mike Napoli
you leave my good friend GMJ alone
never mind...carry on
Matthews just get on base please.
Gary...you can do it

you can do it all night long

Maybe we should replace HGH with the waterboy
interviews would be more entertaining
Bulger/Jepsen in the 'pen
and theres another 10mil strikeout
the next one is always cheaper
Gutless Gary

We are going to be so much better when Torii returns…

HR K K

Only this lineup could deliver so much fun.

I know total buzzkill
REGGIE! REGGIE! REGGIE!
Reggie

Hit the one freakin’ career of your career already.

FAIL

*Home run

Awwwww

Nice play by Punto

Damn.... nice play by punto, tho
Captain Insano shows no mercy
Bad FSNWEST Camerawork

made that look like it had a prayer

...That's not even fair. Robbin' a dude as hard up as Reggie for playing time?
Bulger or Jepsen?

Fat Chick or Psychobitch?

Fat Chicks do more.
nom nom nom

get back to your snacks! ;)

slim pickings man times iz tuff n stuff
Fat chicks need love too

but they gotta pay

Psychobitch! Psychobitch!
psychobitch is usually better in the sack
until they bring

the butcher knife to bed!

every relationship has its ups and downs
I've heard some folks are into that...

Not that there’s anythng WRONG with that…

you are syaing

that it has its good points?

I wouldn't know personally
You say that like....
WAWANESA

Hey everybody…WAWANESA

Oh baby

Beautiful pitch.

well if they all stand there like wax statues Bulger's got a shot
He's attacking the strike zone pretty boldly
Guy has a .210 average.

You BETTER attack the zone against a guy like that.

THERE you are.
I work till 9.

And I had a guy I had to talk to.

was it about a horse?
A car. A Datson 280XZ to be precise.
Yeah, well I'll have you know while you were 'working' I argued with like half the people

on this site, made a zillion posts, AND saved Christmas. So there. :P

So I saw. About time you started pulling your weight, argument-wise.

Can’t expect me to carry the team forever.

I know it's not ideal.... but with the Angels injuries in the OF

they need to just bite the bullet and put Figgy or even Aybar out in the OF who both have played out there before. It’s borderline insane that HK is sitting on the bench with how hot he’s been and GMJ and Reggie both starting.

Torii Will be back soon
scioscia defies logic.

just look at the last inning speier pitched.

sometimes it works … sometimes a season comes down to willits’ throwing arm

Logic...

Logic is a little bird twittering among the trees.
Logic is a pretty flower that smells bad.
Are your circuits in order? Your ears are green.

Dare I say it...

But I think there may be two Zen masters in the L.A. area.

not soon enough
Figgy not at 3B and in OF

Pitching ERA meets the toilet

you really think Izzy is that much worse off at 3rd than Figgy?

Izzy is a stud defensively IMO and I think he’d do really well there. And I know Figgy could do better in the OF than Reggie or GMJ.

not a bad idea...

Soth does like consistency for his players though…

D E F E N S E

O F F E N S E

wonder how GMJ would do if we switched to Coach Pitch
1 for 4.

Single to the pitcher and 3 Ks.

C'mon Ump

Should’ve been called out.

Called that pitch a strike like 8 times tonight.
Oh come on, give that to him ump.
Rally Cup Of Noodles

lets do this

Wow

The outfield actually made a play.

LETS GO OFFENSE!!!!
Alright Fat Chick!

Bulger = Fat Chick

she gave good lovin tonight
She just tries harder.

I don’t try anything, I just do. Want to try me?
-White Zombie

Bulger getting himself some credit from me.
You didn't REALLY think a guy capable of putting up a .70 ERA in a launch pad like SLC and possessing the stuff

that Bulger possesses would just suck forever, did you?

I conisdered it
Oh good.

I worried I was the only one.

It crossed my mind the 4th time he came up and got instantly bombed. >_>
i swear i thought gmj was gonna play that on a hop
Who's going to the pretzel party at Jack's?
I'll see you there
Come on guys, let's score here
Let's get this party started
Figgy just missed a HR
We do not enter the Figgy Zone
Figgy hit a homerun if it was NY
just missed that one
I'm still in

Stayin awake … somehow! Come on Halos!

OK Izzy, show us some luminous resistance power
Screw you Morneau
...Looks like it's up to you, Bobby.
Hello police? I'd like to report a stolen base hit
It's CHUPA time
Wow, if Guerrier serves up pitches like the ones to Izzy and Chone to Chupa

he’s gonna get taken for a ride.

your mouth to God's ears
Make the crowd shut up
C'mon Abreu

Careful now.

Dude PREFERS two-strikes. He swung at the second pitch to make sure he got there. ;-)
hell of a play morneau
Stop booing, you 'tards

Obviously balls.

Crap

Good pitch.

That was too close to take
well that inning sucked.
Too close to take, Chupa.
Swing Bobby!!

crap

uh oh...

momentum

Fuentesaurus or Jepsen?
Leave Bulger out there.
I say throw Bulger up again, he only threw 11 pitches.
You didn't call that for Bulger you jerk.
send Bulger back out

nothing worse than a closer in a tie game

well he can't do worse than his last two outings can he?
HUH?

Bulger looked good

Think he referred to Fuentes
I was just shocked they took out Bulger
Me wants more Bulger
...jepsen....
here comes psychobitch
Ya know.... that's just not nice.
Or, send Jepsen out. Why not. OK kid, pressure situation. Go to it.
c'mon psychobitch
I love hearing the "Awwwws" from the crowd.
well, depending on your POV

Those are either Awwwww-some or Awwwww-ful.

are you saying boooooo or booo-urns?
Sending out Jepsen, huh?

Well, I can see that. Bulger’s our setup guy, can’t afford to use him up for the series on 1 game.

WTF

All three of those pitches were strikes.

This ump is insane. The only comfort is that he has been nuts for both sides.
Yeah, I still hate people like that.
Dunno. Feels like we're on trial and Richard Nixon just showed up to give our closing statement
You mean the disembodied head of Nixon, president of Earth?
indeed. with new robot body and VP Zap Branigan
1 out

now the fudgepackers are up

damn donut-punchers
Throw strikes dammit Jepsen
Careful kid. You're about to face the only 2 guys in the lineup that can actually hit

97 mph heat.

if they know it's coming even GMJ can hit 97
Got 'im

with the 97 mph heat.

psyKobitch
If he gets Morneau, I nominate that for Jepsen's HH nickname
Holy crap he struck out mauer.
To be fair to Jepsen

he HAS managed to halve his ERA from it’s highest extremity.

FINISH HIM!!!
"beat it slope, or you're next"
Mortal Kombat for the Sega Genesis is the best video game ever
great sequence

starts him out 97 mph paint, then comes inside

I'm having trouble with my reception. it looked like Jepsen struck out Mauer
morno too
Mine is acting up too

totally weird, it was if Shields and Frankie were setting up for Percy

that's exactly what you saw
sit the fuck down Mauer
PSYKOBITCH IT IS!!!!!

JEPSEN FTW

wow...

that is all

****ING OWNED!
Woot

Fat Chick And Psychobitch take us to extras!

That's not nice

sez a real life psycho-bitch.

Can I haz moar runz...?
ALLL RIGHT psyKoBitch!!!!
huh.

 well butter my butt and call me a biscuit. Psychobitch pulled it out

Not even pulled it out.

He flat-out dominated two of the best hitters in baseball.

Jizzpen

You nasty beast

if jepsen and bulger can pitch like that

i feel better about things

actually, psyKoBitch is a litle too nasty, but

psyKo has a nice ring to it.

I like psyKo, myself.
Thank you

from the real life psycho bitch.

We love you too, opiejeanne
I know, I know.

and right now I am not popular with someone on the jury.

Sounds good to me
Funny how the pitching situation has totally reversed itself

from the beginning of the year. In April the starters rocked and the bullpen couldn’t get anyone out. Now our starts sans Lackey and struggling, and our bullpen turned it way around

yep

assuming fuentes can start getting a few outs when he pitches

XTRAS thread?
Rally threads worked so far.
Somebody hit a HR.
let's make is specific - Someone on the Angels.

don’t want the “baseball gods” to give it to just anyone.

whoa

settle down juan

lol

saw that pitch come up red on gameday and lol’d

Monkey shaking that monkey
Nathan is our bitch
Joe Nathan is a motorboating sonofabitch
Wow, 10th inning - Did I miss anything?

Had to replace the lamp in my TV, now back up and running after a couple days of no HD Angels watchin’

Jepsen (now known as psyKo) struck out the M&M boys
Careful Juan

Don’t go swinging at everything.

I can haz homerun?
time to do work, boys
Ouch

Nasty stuff

Good Lord, Jaun
Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding
OK, Kendry, you have 0 hits in this game. Time to change that.
needs to sniff the bat
I got a fever...
Wtf was KMo swinging at there?
Jesus Kendry

You knew that was a ball.

geeze kendry....

calmate

I need MORE KOWBELL

[insert Christopher Walken picture here]

why are we chasing balls out of the zone????
Nathan being filthy probably has a bit to do with it
it sure seems that way
yeah those are some filthy balls
Run Home, Jack! Run Home Jack!
psychobitch and fat woman want a dong
LOL Oh God

That’s nasty.

I laughed

WAY too hard at that

hmm...Tagalong Blizzard..

may need to DVR the rest of this one

no you don't

those things are like 1000 calories…you can do it after we win, so it will celebratory

yeahm, but 1000 glorious calories
Nathan's had what.....

one pitch over the plate?

one...

and it was waaaaaaaaaay over the plate

and Jaun still swung at it

lol

Hit singles for ffs
same pitch bulger got
Oh, screw you Ump

Weren’t no strike

I love how suddenly all the HH crew wants home runs
Naps

The time is now

Pitch is ****ing outside you ****ing ********#*$%(&$#@().
Napiliicious

for the win

WHAT THE F---!!!

4-6 inches off the plate, easy.

Naps is going to hit for the cycle

cmon Naps triple

triple then passed ball please
that was not a strike
C'mon Naps, triple for the cycle.
watching naps run to third would be entertaining
he'd stop for smoke at 2nd
Put this one to bed
2-0 slider

poooooooooooooooo c

3-1

Good God almighty, I need a HR!!!

Napster

walk-off

They still get to bat, unfortunately.
Well, not our park.

But I’d take it. Also-this ump is nuts.

^ ^ ^ ^

Is this guy a friend of yours?

Yeah man.

We live in the same city and we’re both Angels fans. I’ve known him practically forever.

Why do you ask?
Just wondering
that was a hell of a pitch nathan tip of the halo
that pitch had hair on it

riding inside

Wow

That was a good breaking ball.

put it through their stupid dome Side Salad
Bad Nipples
bad angels in that inning
Naps took his eye off of that last one
Got 'im

Goddamnit Nathan

that was a pitch to hit

crap

wow

damn nathan

wel...that didn't go at all well
Positive side: He threw way more pitches than he probably wanted.
hmmm

maybe expecting slider

let's see if fuentes can record an out
We don't have the lead yet.

My guess is mike won’t put in the closer until we do.

Mike'll wait til we've got a lead.
law of averages is on his side
Oh god I'm up all night! 4.11 am here in England
now thats dedication
superfan
Chukka-Chukka-ShuWaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
DAAAAAAAAAAA Angels

Doesn’t have quite the same ring.

Jepsen back in
STILL in, I should say
i want to see howie pinch hitting for either of "the nothings"
leave my good friend Gary alone
Cuddyer? I dont even know her!
Get 'im Jepsen..
Does Jepsen have a scruffy mohawk under that cap?
thats what I seen
way behind that one
on to the 11th

w o o t

rally shower

hopefully that works

alone?
good things happen when i go away it seems :(
With a fat chick.
Well it can't be with a psychobitch...

opiejeanne is here :-)

Schweet

Go PsyKo

to the 11th!!!!!!
I think I love Jepsen.
He's got amazing stuff. If he can keep this up, we have a great new bullpen piece.
bow chika bow wow

thats what my baby said
mao mao mao and my heart starts pumpin
chick chicka chu wop never gonna stop
gitchie gitchie goo means that I love you

I’ve lost my mind.

PSYKOTIC!
Okay, that's awesome.
Meeeeeeeeeeeeean

Jepsen be

you sweet beautiful jepsen!
OK, guys, now go give PsyKo the win!!!!
C'mon Admiral

Be Admirable.

He and Bulger have become quite the pair.
By the way, opiejeanne

don’t know if I’ve told you how much I like your sig… :-)

I knew you'd like it.
It's as sexy as socks on a rooster.
Aybar, GMJ, Willits...

Man, you can just feel the pitchers start to sweat when they see THOSE names coming up.

well they do aybar

please don’t group him with those 2 pieces of #%@#

I like Aybar too.

And I made a whole post about how we could have expected him to be this good, but still, I don’t think he has anybody shaking just yet.

Awwwww yeah

Let’s go Erick

run baby run!!
The ump taketh away and the ump giveth back.

TOTAL gift walk. But I’ll take it.

10 million dollar bunt coming
They take out Nathan

and put in a member of the Blue Man Group

RISP!!!!!

Fellas on the corners!

He failed so much that it worked
Some type of Einstein theory
he ceates antimatter fail

lololololololololololol

My good friend Gary comes through
how much does he pay you per positive comment?
uh...

he hit that bases claering double and I sold my soul through the end of the week

You're a good man, Charlie Brown.
hahahaha!!!!!! GMJ!!!!
MILLION DOLLAR BLOOP SINGLE!
okay, this is the chance guys for some runs
hit and run.its a beautiful thing
Reggie, Reggie!
(howie at bat) >_>
lol

I demand an asterisk show up in the box score for that single

MR CLUTCH COMES THROUGH AGAIN!
Where? I didn't see Jerry West anywhere
Smart move, HK pinch hitting.
Mr. Suddenly Good is up
smart move taking out the nothing
SWEET

Run scores! UBERFAIL

HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa
yes, HK, we will definitely take that
HOWIE KENDRICK!
E4 but I think he'd have scored anyway
OMG, Is Q playing SS for them?
OMFCPONIES!!!1!
Do you ever go to slashdot, opiejeanne?
I'm not even sure what that is.

I’m only sort of cool.

Howie, can I have one of your big screens?
Keep it going, Figgs, we need insurance!
so would you have Figgy bunt here or swing away, hit and run, what?

I would have him bunt

Oh those lucky Angels!
Harris has to put

“R’s” and “L’s” on his shoes so he will be able to run straight

Let Jepsen close it out!
let oliver close it out!

just say no to no outs fuentes

Now that's just unfair.
don't remind us that Fuentes has not gotten an out the last two times
waaaahooooooo
Jepsen has throw 21 pitches in two DOMINANT innings.

Who here wants him taken out for a guy that has allowed his last 8 batters to reach?

Even one taker?

I'm with the Fuentesaurus.
did you just have some Del Taco with the Ninja?

Cuz you are going BOLD.

i want oliver or jepsen until 1 guy reaches base
how about we score about 5 more runs here and we don't sweat the bottom of the 11th?
Ask and ye shall sort of receive.

Four total so far

Figgy and Aybar have improved their bunting so much this year
Bases loaded, baby

Crappy play again.

Latest from LSB game thread

“THOSE STUPID FUCKING RALLY MONKEYS!!!!”

Aw, are they doing a game thread for us again?

That’s so sweet.

they're rain delayed
Those Incisive Virgin Analytical Texans
Steers and something else.
I vote for free pass on the F-bomb cuz its' a quote from LSB
xD

panther: Twins defense

what's wrong with these guys?

not that i’m going to complain.

HAHAHAHAHA!

Death by one thousand paper cuts.

TACK ON A GRAND SLAM

AND BRING IN THE BRI-GUY

Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha
Mice Tits

Base Hit

Sweet

Mighty Maicer with the clutch hit yet again.

MIGHTY MOUSE!
IZZY STARDUST!
I really like this.
Blow this one wide open
Jesus Christ

They’re leaving already

No outs bases loaded, we're already up two.

I’m pretty sure even the Angels faithful walked out after the Fuentes meltdown monday.

Hola Amigos!!!

just got back from dinner
i was ranting all night about our bullpen during the 5th inning
i was just shocked to see this rally

We need at least 1 more here.
We had the bottom 3rd of our lineup due up too....
I can haz salami for chupa pleaz?
C'mon, Chupa, keep it goin'!
C'Mon Bobby

tear this one OPEN big time

CHUPAAAAAAAAAAAA
wooohooooooooooo
9-5 Halos!!!!!!!
Workin' 9 to 5 what a way to make a livin'
Abreu, a great major league hitter
loud and clear gubi

we need 5 more because fuentes might still have the speiers

Here's Bob-Bay!
CAN'T STOP THE MERRY-GO-ROUND!
I'd pay 100 bucks to see Naps hit a 3 run triple this inning.
And if you go to the stadium to give naps the hundred dollar bill

he just autographs it for you and hands it back

This is great
Juan asks the ump if the game is still going on

since all the people just left

at this pace, Q is pitching the bottom of the 11th
Well, that WOULD save pitchers...
LSB

“Halos – Luckiest team in the history of organized sports………….. "

i saw that

what a crack up. It makes coming back that much sweeter.

Who wanted Cousin Oliver?

Ask and ye shall receive

what did i miss...?
Same ol' same ol'
were still losing...?
I mean tied...?
Naw, we came back again.

4 runs, still nobody out. You know—the usual.

dont think we are watching the same game
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
No. Go away again, so we'll score more runs
you aint right man lol
We're up 4, son
WHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
awesome extra inning big inning
Screw the cycle

Get another 3 RBIs right here.

MORE MORE MORE!!!
How do you like it, how do you like it?
Oh heck yeah Rally Shower FTW!!!
I felt bad when this happened to the Royals awhile ago against us

I feel none of that now

cmon

bases loaded…..

"The horse is out of the barn"

-Rory Markus

I <3 Rory
I am a big Rory and Terry Fan

ever him Roay call USC basketball.

I don't even know what that means
it's a little late to close the barn door.
Locking the barn door after the horse is gone
but i dont wanna get too cocky so later HH.
Can we finally have our first Granny of the season?

God, this is crazy.

Maybe just

save that abuela for when we are behind by 3…

Run it up, run it up...
I'm almost inclined to think at this point that our lineup is capable of scoring at will

and just pretends otherwise to preserve suspense.

Sneaky bastards.
Wouldn't want the pen to get lazy. >_>
I got a fever.......
and the Kowbell

Bangs one in!

good things happen when willits isnt in the lineup
18 hits?????

Wowzer! OMG RA Dickey??? I’m so calling a slam right here

Lol

Oh Kendry

darn it no grand slam

oh well 10-5

NOBODY FREAKIN' OUT!!!!!
Ain't it cool?
Kendry needs himself a hit.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Kinda makes you drunk with power.
KMO delivers, are their fans left in the stands, Terry Smith sounds alone
Triple, Triple, Triple!
Let's go Naps!
We still haven't gotten an extra base hit this inning.

we still haven’t made an out either

5 runs in 10 innings

and then 5 runs in the 11th

were in ur base

mowin down ur pen.

All your base are belong to Halos
Yo... youse got a problem wid dat?
Bronx cheers all around
there it was nap

right down the middle

He probably got told not to swing.
Does a strikeout contribute to the cycle?

No? Damn.

Dammit NAPOLI! You SUCK!

Just kidding.

took one down the middle...
Awwww. Napster.

’salright, though, 4-6 is still cool.

11-5, never can have enough runs
11-5

nice hustle aybar

I FREAKIN LOVE THIS TEAM!!
I agree

Though I could do without all the heart attacks.

it wouldn't be "this team" without the heart attacks!
Go my good friend Gary!!
All ships--concentrate fire on that Super Star Destroyer!
Yeah, Juice already got his hit for the week.
Dammit, GMJ!

Just when we had a good thing going.

Fantastic inning!!!
good inning

i guess….

LOL

Spoiled

naw im happy

just gotta seal the deal

Perfect time to get Fuentes

Back into the swing of things

Agree.

Just get the bullpen on standby.

Oh, and Tanana40?

There’s the 5-spot you wanted on top of the go ahead run.

XD.

Good call.

yes, I finally called one right!
I also wanted Q to pitch the bottom of the 11th at one point, so don't listen me to all the time
GMJ only has a certain number of hits he can spend this year.

He’s got to use them sparingly.

Reply button is your friend. :P
Reply?

That was just a general comment.

But GMJ was out like, 5 minutes ago.
oh shit, knock it off you two....WE JUST KICKED ASS!!!
ladybug, we've been friends for years.

You’re gonna need a tank to break up one of our arguments. :-P

I don't care...we won!!! no bickering...only rejoicing!!!
It's really not bickering so much as playful banter
same difference ;-P
And note that my comment was 4 minutes ago.
Though in retrospect

it matches up almost eerily well with your comment above… o_0

See my thought process there? ;)
nice..pitcher made it to first base without throwing to the crowds
Nasty pitch by Ollie there
77 mph, sucker.
Had some good movement at the end, at least :P
the "sucker" was the batter, not you. sorry i wasn't clear.
Two down

Victory imminent.

Was about to tell you not to jinx it, but they got the out as I was typing
I'm made of liquid uck

I got this.

LMAO

I mean LUCK.

heeheheheheeeeeheeeee
one more - c'mon Oliver
light up that hAlo!!!!
Light up the Halo!!!!

Just another Halo Victory!

There's 3.

OH BABY, LIGHT UP THAT HALO!!!!!

light it up, nice work Halos
Lights out bullpen

LIGHT UP THE HALO!!!

Light up the halo

just another halo victory

Happy Birthday to me!

Awesome.

light up the cake
happy birthday Matt!!!
Happy one.

Sorry we couldn’t get you a reliever, but who fucking cares (9 minutes for me left in the month, I had to use it)? We’re a .600 team!

LIGHT 'ER UP!

Just another comeback victory!

just another halo victory.

cuz we be lucky.

I'm tempted to lurk over on LSB to watch the teeth gnashing.
I've done that the whole inning

very amusing

Is the sight of a bunch of Texans gnawing on their own livers a pretty sight?
Feel free. I lurk constantly, it's hilarious.
I have found it amusing.
They *are* bitter over there, aren't they?
So much WIN in this team.

Roy who?

Nothin' cures the couldabeen's like winning. :P
