COME ON ANGELS
Damn Hula turned Rally Killer
Vlad almost took

a BIIIIIG rip at it

OK, we don't need this all back at once.

1 or 2 an inning will work just fine.

Need more runs.

damn June Bug buzzin’ the monitor.

sigh

only through 5 innings though

vladdy

should not be batting 4th

Hey Rev

I thought you said you couldn’t rec game threads…I rec’d (and unrec’d) this one just fine!

2nd game thread

loads manually, 1st one loads on a different machine … or some shit like that in tech land…

K that sucked
Done i cant watch this anymore.

Lackey why you mutha

While I find the fact that Vlad can hit that pitch hilarious,

I wish he wouldn’t swing at it.

I'm giving some of this FAIL to Naps

he called for the hanging pitch to Andruw Jones and a few other of those meatballs.

Is he really calling those?

or is Soth calling them?

yeah, i'm sure he called for it to hang in the strike zone, too

no doubt he called the pitch, but it’s lackey’s job to locate it.
it probably was a ball pitch call, but most of his curves were poorly executed

Didn't Andruw Jones bat like .157 last year?
actually, isn't that how much weight he lost since last year?
Juan hit .247

Howie hit .300+

Whole new season, unfortunately.

still..

my man crush on Rivera going strong…

In that particular instance, anyway.
Well yeah.

Rivera and Hunter parts of that equation have admittedly worked out pretty well. Not to mention Abreu, Morales, and Figgins.

agreed.,

I was really enjoying the no wife no kids couple beers and the Angels game night….Then Lackey forgot how to pitch

STFD Kinsler
yay

so excitng

and THAT'S how you throw a baseball!!

lackey should take some lessons

sounds like a good

WiHalofan comic plot…

*winks at WiHaloFan

I could use some suggestions

I’ve been struggling lately (if you haven’t noticed).

start a post and ask for suggestions

pick the ones that inspire you!

nice catch, Vlad

he still scares me in the field

Vladdy heart flutter
Vladdy looking perfectly

UN-smooth

At least Bulger has been looking pretty great, recently.
True that. 1-2-3 no fuss.
Nice 123 Bulge
nice job, Bulger

now let’s get those runned!

Kendry making a fairly tough play look easy

way to go K-MO

Juan HR

K-Mo HR

WTH?

finally turn on the TV, 5th inning, 3-3 score and bam bam bam.

SO IT'S YOU WHO CURSED US!!!!!!

;) it’s all good, ’bug

haha glad i don’t have to take the blame anymore :)

tried to take some of the weight off
WEIGHT?? WEIGHT????

are you saying I’m FAT???

hee hee hee. Sorry, gotta act like a girl every once in a while :-)

Oh snap, Figgi, RUN!

I’ll try to slow her down! Or take pictures. You know, whichever one seems less dangerous.

Just to be clear, no one was ever actually blaming you. ;)
Glad you said it.

I was afraid you’d yell at me again. :-P

no...if i was yelling

I WOULD HAVE SAID IT LIKE THIS

You had an exclamation point!

I saw it!

that shows enthusiasm

NOT YELLING, LIKE THIS DOES

this must be one of the stupidest arguments I’ve ever participated in lol

All of my arguments are stupid.

It’s what makes them special.

Horrible

Leading 3-0, 2 outs in the 5th and Lackey shits his pants

it was 3-0 before the Lackey meltdown
Epic Lackey implosion.

A pity, it had been an awesome game to that point.

:bangs head at wall:
K-Mo batting righty
has he had any extra base hits from the right side?

i’ve never seen one ever

I can check
3 doubles

per his B-Ref page

about to say that

no joke

lol

beat ya

thanks

just proves his suckage from the right side, i wish he would stop switch-hitting

small sample size

it’s in, like, 60 ABs.

but yeah, he should just go lefty

Wow.

Our lineup has gone into reactor shutdown mode.

What in the Sam Hell is going on!?
ERA of 6 and dude is mowing us down.
HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!
butterfingers

exploit this gift please

duhrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

i can has baseball

Gotta love that one

A dropped ball, are you kidding me!!!

hahaha yay!

time to make up for it, Naps!

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Ahhh, I needed that.

holy crap!!!!

Holland threw only 19 pitches, 17 for strikes. Salty drops out 3 and Wash pulls t e guy with a 3 run lead????

I don't get it either.
Yeah...don't understand this move.

Hope it helps us…

...You know, I have to call this a dumb move on Washington's part.

Holland has absolutely crushed us other than the hit by Bobby and he’s getting taking out now?

*taken

I has can spoke the English.

This move does have fail written all over it.
Only Mike stops watching these hanging breaking balls.
oh Naps

that…was….SMASHABLE

wtf?

Naps, hit the crap out of those!!!!!!!!!!

Napoli

bat on your shoulders does us no damn good

except when i makes the pitcher come inside and hit you

*it?

I’d guess?

what are you waiting for, napoli?!

those were MEATBALLS!

oohhh

that was the ONE

Naps gets hit
not what we wanted...

but at least it’s another runner

We don't take no mess
Tieing run at home
...C'mon Admiral, make this work.
Fellas

do something cool!

C'mon *****Bar!!!!!!
Aybar

he is kinda hot at the moment.

he's not THAT good looking rev
HAHAHAHAHA

way to lighten the mood

like, good looking hot..?
it's the socks, isn't it?
well, his pants ARE pulled high...
Maybe it's a trap...
*gulp*

LET’S GO AYBAR

no ducking pitches, FAILbar

gotta swing at it

e e e e e e s s s s h h h h h h

this is a ball buster

phiz disappointed it wasn't a strike
classic Physioc bullshit

auditioning for the other team

Please don't swing at that **** again.
I almost can't believe he didn't swing at that ball in the dirt.
breathe in, breathe out

:0

runners go...and
Aybar CLUTCH walk
i'll take it

i guess

Lases Boaded
ok

good eye….uh….bar

he.... WALKED?!

wow.

help the cause, figgy! earn them votes!

Nice walk, Erick.

Figgy, time to earn yourself an ASG spot.

Figgins

play like the All-Star you deserve to be

ok

PLEASE don’t let us down

I'll start this over.....

worked last time

Dear Figgins,

PLEASE GET A HIT!!! And I will love you even more than i do now.

Sincerely,
Figgi4life

that works too
Figgy, if you make this our first grandslam of the year

I will not sleep tonight. I will spend all night clicking the vote button, I swear to god.

per angelsbb.com

“I’ve been voting so much, my battery is going dead,” Figgins said, looking up from his phone. “I’m voting for myself, and I don’t care who knows it. I want to be in that All-Star Game.”

earn it!

Do it for MJ
....i love little Michael
calling it ... fig home run
walk!

is cool

i meant walk for a ... errr ... a run
Not tense at all. >_>
walked him!

6-4

Walked him!
I will so take it.
doesn't give you anything...

take it

or he can just walk in a run

nice move washington

Yeah, Ima say that's officially a retard move at this point.
Good eye Figgy
worth a few more hundred votes via moi
Oh dem fans. Need to be told when to stand up

Howzit from Hawaii

oooo which island?
Oahu

in the middle

Also, love whoever the old guy in the white shirt is in the front row.

Telling everyone to get off their ass and cheer. Way to go, buddy.

Lets go Chupa.
Dear Abreu,

PLEASE GET A HIT!!!!! And I will love you…or at least for now

Sincerely,
Figgi4life

Jason Jennings WHIP = infinity

keep it there

for tonight at least
wonder how LSB is doing
The word is 'tense' I think.
breathe in, breathe out...
woah

right down the middle

yeah that one was hittable
did they give away thunder sticks tonight?
Best two strike hitter on the team.
fightin it off
stayin' alive, Bobby...
Ah .. Ah .. Ah ... Ah ... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
you mean...

stayin’ alive?

that's EXACTLY what i meant
good eye robert
What's with the smirk? I kinda like it, but seriously.
Bobby FAIL!

GAHHHHHHH

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

dat Hoits

oh geezus

come ON Bobby

oh crap

all that for one lousy run. actually a good pitch from Jennings, the only one he had all inning.

i don't think i've done it all season ...

FUCK!!!

Headdesk.

Admittedly the best breaking ball he’d thrown all night, but ugh.

Yeah, but Bobby had like 3 pitches to rip down the middle.
Granted.

First pitch swinging didn’t work out any better his last time up though. Lineout is still an out.

@(#$*@#)$*(

ARRRRRRRGH

At least holland is out.
True, I'll take Jennings all night over Holland's Greg Maddux impression.
hey, we got one

if we do that for the next three innings we win

if our bullpen can hold 'em
but the blowpen........
Palmer plus Oliver plus Speier =

semi-reliability.

It's been better of late...sort of...
might blow it for us
I was watching for Saltalamacchia's boo boo

my big fat Polish curse has ended

....

yay

ROFL.... I like that one
hamilton is blazing
M A T T P A L M E R
Palmer

tightrope time

double play, palmer?

please?

Needs more DP.
C'mon Palmer, gotta hold'em down so we can get your 8th win.
oh Figgins

how ridiculous of you

that was

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO smooth

all-star
I think Salty looks a little like Brandon Wood
There's an easy way to tell the difference though-

one has a major league uniform on. /sigh

Figgy!!!

yet not an all star? WTF`

Man, nice try Figgs.
Nice stab by the Figster
is there any way (besides mlb.tv) that i can watch these games on the computer?

even if it might be slightly illegal?

sorry not allowed to help on this site
if you give your email,

someone can email a link

oh...

was that illegal?

oops

not allowed to discuss it

Rev says talking about it is illegal

not illegal

just something my ass could get sued for.

we can't be a third party to the sharing

of pirate feeds. sorry.

it's alright

sorry i asked

not your fault

how were you to know?

it is cool to ask

and cooler to understand what keeps a community cool

Let's pick

a rally BOTG

wow that was close!!

could have sued a makeup call on that tag of Byrd

have "USED"

shit TYPO

you can sue the shit out of anything these days ...

eff tort reform

Oh come on, you called Figgy out.
ya know what?

F it.
so what.
I have to wake up at 8:00 tomorrow.
I’m staying up ’till 12:45 voting

*1:15
hell, i wonder what the run differential between figgy and kinsler is
you mean runs scored?

or some sabermatrician-esque “Runs Created” stat?

Figgins: 63 R

Kinsler: 60 R

i meant in votes
carefull ...

you don’t want to be late for the fry station at Carl’s Jr.

Would have gotten by howie.
??

Howie has one of the best fielding ratings of any major league second baseman according to fangraphs UZR

MATT PALM PILOT

b a m m o

OK, time to get Matt that 8th W.
Sigh. we lose. We have no chance.

we can’t hit,pitch, or field. By now, you should now I’m lying

That's a rally monkey?

Yeeee.

" so build me up, buttercup,.....
SLAY THE TRAITOR O'DAY
i miss you, DOD

but you need to lose right now

So here's a familiar face I wish we'd kept around.
booo.........
crowd the plate vlad!!
nice vladdy!
pinch run

I’m serious

BIG DADDY for the hit
Nice job Vlad.

Knows it’s a two run gap, so he’ll take the single.

Vlad gettin' us started.
w00t

rally!! Commence!!!

Who is the guy with his arm around Scott Boras in the dugout suite?
me.

not really

ewwwwwwwwwwww
I SAID NOT REALLY

calm down…

she was jokin

I think….

ummm yeah....thanks vlad

geesh figgi…..it’s ME

Vlad blogs on HH?

Cool!!!

what are you talking about?
it's you that's arm is around Boras?

oh have you’ve decieved us :)

CAL1FORNIA ANGELS
Pink Shirt Guy's "friend"
Mel from Fullerton?
Jordan Chandler

Jakko was framed, and died an innocent manboy

bring Willits in

I’m pretty sure he’s still in the Majors

how about another one juan?
you mean, like - Juan more?
I see what you did there

and I like it.

use it

in a comic…

along with Lackey taking pitching lessons from Bulger

Don't need another long ball Juan,

though I wouldn’t say no to one.

I'd rather have a long bat than a long ball

… for the record

Kindda low strike call there
Juan is the kind of hitter O'Day struggled against when he was with us.

struggle away!!!!!!!!

good semi-call
Nice!

Great job Juan.

I have a problem if they bat Q for K-MO

a REAL problem

I'd like to see Kendry get this one myself.
I think

K-Mo should stay lefty

i second this motion
Angels always score runs when Matt Palmer pitches.
Which in turn kinda makes it a good thing he's a reliever now.

More chances to get the O goin’ in games where we need firepower.

Rally monkeys have appeared.

Kendry Morales remains in the game.

O'Day's a littel pissed

coulda been worse … BUT…

High Chopper advances
if Morales hits that lefty

he’s safe…just that litttle difference

grr

at least he moved them?

bleh

Figgy would be safe…

MP could be the new ...

Brendan Donnelly

Crud, needed a few more feet of bounce...

Need you to come through here Izzy.

At least he moved them up.

Need the Mighty one to come through here.

Base hit here cmon Izzy
I love you...

IF YOU GET A HIT IZZ

down low, 3 and 0

Phyz pullin out the rhymes

Looks like they may walk Izzy...
i really hope he doesn't walk
Naps hits .400 vs Lefties.
You have to think he'll get a pitch to hit with Naps on deck.
Swing the bat with 1 swing

Rex FTW

caught that tidbit too

classic rex

let's go naps!!
let's do this nap!

he’s due

Bases juiced

>__>

Walked him.

TIME FOR A POWER NAP.

ohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohplease
*joing 'bug

in the chant…ish thing

*joins

intereting typo there

HEY KOOL AID!!!

badluck blondie there

pigtails girl sighting!!!
Where was FSW's Mr. X?
Napoli -

get this.

fastball count

side salad!!!

f word

already used your quota,

eh?

Missed it.

Crap.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
i am so frustrated
shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit
whee

this “leave bases loaded twice in a row” thing doesn’t seem to be working.

FML

unclutch NOT FTW

Dammnit i dont have an f word.
can't keep leaving them loaded
We need a batter

Not a deli platter.

... and then we're mocked with a Howard's commercial
Stroke, stroke
what's up with your avatar, BTW?
rat
rally rat of last season???
yeah ... i have a trademark on it
well he WON'T be getting laid tonite...................
Stroke, stroke ...
replied to the wrong post
Suuuuuuurrrrre you did. :P
really?

because it worked perfectly

Some guys have all the luck
maybe not....he IS on his own tonite
You know, it claims on ESPN that we hit .330 with the bases loaded, but man, I just wonder how that's even possible.

It seems like we blow so many bases loaded situations…

.330 means 2/3 times we crap out.
Yeah, but it SEEMS like more than that.
Rangers are very flucky (fluke + lucky)
That F could stand for anything, really.
"flucky" ... you can get that, for like, nine dollars in Thailand
are the Rangers gonna try and use Wilson to get the last 7 outs?
Bedtime, unfortunately. Here's hoping we pull it out.
your bedtime is 10:00?
for me its 1AM

just saying

Midnight in des moines
OHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOO
oh no

vlad!!?

oh no vladddddd
and there goes Vlad...
NOOOOOOOOOOO CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP
That looks a lot like the game film

I have of when I blew out my ACL…

Jammed his knee down, but atleast it didn’t twist

Thats it for RF Vladdie
BLEEP ME IN THE BLEEP
well this sucks. even more.
Big Daddy Vladi is becoming Big Daddy of Pain
well at least he's walking by himself

doesn’t seem too bad

FML

you were the man!!!!

okay...

at least he’s walking off

It's the knee
Other knee though.
Now Steve Physioc gives us the gloom and doom

pour it on ASSHOLE

permanent DH spot
wow...

its amazing to me that those legs don’t splinter like a slider hitting a maple bat when he runs. period.

Hope he’s just “day to day”

Looks like a twinge

a major one, but Vladdie has just become a professional hitman for the Angels

well he didnt blow his ACL because he is still walking
W H E W !

good point

That was my first though when I saw his leg fold underneath him on the throw.
thats not true

you can walk, but once you get off it it , it swells up to the point that movement is not possible. Probably the worse injury I ever had.

I think he might of strained his ligament and not popped it just because of the lack of a true twist

Vlad is old
turning 67
According to the "Benchwarmers",

Vlad is only 13.

Vlad's twice the size of Tori
anyone could do that

though

And thanks to 10 years on turf

his knees are ancient

Salty..

Am I the only one that thinks Hud invents the nicknames then COMPLETELY sells himself on them? He’s in love with using anything BUT peoples names…Love the guy but….wow.

just like calling kendry “bam bam” last night?

he's in love with HIMSELF
His brain is so fried,

that if he doesn’t do some kind of name game/recognition type of thing. He would be quiet all night.

hmmm

time to turn off the radio yet?

jesus christ
arrrrrghhhhh stab stab stab
STFU PHIZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
I don't know why..

Vlad doesn’t just get arthroscopic surgery to clean up his knees. It’s a pretty routine surgery for athletes.

he had knee surgery in the offseason
He just went through painful surgery

to correct his long-standing condition, natty dreaditis.

yah hud just...

pulls it outta his ass. that and that whole 7’s things earlier. wtf hud, talk some random shit – - we love it – -but mab oh man, sometimes you try WAYYYY too hard

Palmer imploding.

Think I might have to call it a night here. Gotta get up and work tomorrow.

see you all in the rubber match
lameeeee

hopefully, we’ll pull our heads out tomorrow

bye bye first place

efff ... couldn't cash in on our opportunities and Lack let us down ...

MJ died, the Dems want another “stimulus” and the new Tron 2 script sucks

*pouring another glass of red

The new Tron script sucks?

and you are comparing it to the Pulitzer winning original “Tron” script?

Maybe Dave Eggers and Carrie Fisher can punch it up before it hits production.

Just put that guy in the homemade suit in it

and everything will be allright

touch it up, Palmer
okay, he can now hit the shower.
Woo hoo

Sorry, just realized that sbn finally got mobile posting! This is great!

lol

Did you know you can comment on Halos Heaven from your phone or PDA? SB Nation has launched mobile commenting. Check it out next time you’re at the game or bar and have something to say.

awesome ... posting while drunk and/or driving is all we need
and that's different than posting from home...HOW???
true ... i'm so drunk at home right now

that i think i’m texting on my pda while driving …

can’t find the clutch on my mac though ..

I'm on my second SG margarita

but I have my seat belt on my desk chair

i just tried to lock the doors ...

… my “current” files are now on the floor

The future is luminous.

Screw jet packs and flying cars. I’m glad they finally invented a means to type on your telephone.

i've been sending smoke signals for the last year ...

has nobody received them???

I get unliminted smoke signals under my calling plan
hahahahahhahah

nice joe to cheer up dead hH

lol

that’s a great plan … do you get unlimited morse code as well?

got to show you this hilarious thing

http://twitter.com/helen_Keller

that's just wrong ...

AND funny

WOW

that was a meatball to Jones…..

Normally you hear announcers say, “He just missed that” on those monster pop ups….

But that one could have been real bad

Anyone see Dexter?

Kinsler = Ice Truck Killer

great show

but i don’t see the resemblance

Paraphrasing

“we are a quittin”

Any word on Vlad?
sigh

sighsighsighsighsighsighsighsighsighsighsighsighsighsigh

ok, i'm here

time to put 6 more runs on the board.

Com'on, more runs!
Sure looks like Texas will always have our number.
It's only one game.

There’s a long, long way to go this season.

Yeah, we've already lost 4 others.
strained muscle behind the right knee

is the preliminary on Vlad…

I think that one will take some more tests tough to be sure

strained muscle behind left knee
for Vladdy

just make a postgame post Rev!!

Airmails it to first base ???!!!???

WTF Phyzz. It landed straight in the guys glove.

LSB thinks our Rex and Phys

were hitting on Elvis Andrus

That because they,

both wear only one glove

A bummer in the summer this game is
couldn't find a word to ryhme with "soltice"?
Nope

I am sure Arthur Lee could have though

Assuming game ends in regulation

Pregame picks winners: Y (4) – N (7) – Y (48)

is it too late to change my picks?
yes
you mean to tell me that in the 9th inning, with 2 out, 2 strikes ...

it’s too late???

that’s not fair.

does anyone have the number for the white house?

checked in

holy crap
hope we rebound tomorrow
night guys

nice summation
that was weak, Torii
sigh

Roll call1!!!

Frank Francisco has a good fastball.

But of greater concern is if he is going to throw a chair in somebody’s face.

he DID hit Juan more!!!!!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
heeeey

why not right?

Juanito x's 2!
Pad those stats up Juan!
