^ what he said
clap, clap

clap, clap, clap

we can do this!

probably

your unqualified support

is inspiring

lol

i like … “We can most likely do this!”

Lets Go Halos
Come on Halos. Let's get a comeback win.
Can I Haz Win on ESPN...?
time to pull Weaver
Oliver coming in.
yay Allover
DAMNIT ... Weaver's pitch count garners me no points
how was that HR derby, inge?
Do you ever think that Oliver thinks "that i am too old for this?"
i'm too old for this shit
me too
all you Murtough's

make me sick

Fudge

Not good

"Hockey Town"
Arrodondo

which is Spanish for open the flood gates

LAME
OK Dane Cook

come up with better

don't get it... sorry
LAME is spanglish for "You are absolutely correct sir"
oh...my bad...sorry cupie
still don't get it
Nice

New Game Thread Rev!

Think that might do it for me.

Need sleep.

wish I could go to sleep now

 earlyit’s not in my blood…I can’t leave any game, even one on the net

bad timing for the offense to go dead/Weaver to struggle

national tv… on the evil 4-lettered network. God only knows they’re touching themselves to this game right now…

Are you kidding?

Perfect timing. With the amount of malais this will generate against our team, we’ll be able to fuel the hate engines once more.

i dig the optimism, Zu
Let's go Joe Anderson!
Do better tomorrow, Angels.
damn

theyre gettin all the lucky breaks

I wish we were a lucky team
verlander + anemic offense + shitty pitching = lucky break?
it seems like all the little bloops are falling for them
oh weird...

english for Arrodondo
GG

This week has been ugly

Whee. Angels letting in the runs now.
justin speier is yelling at the tv "I CAN DO THIS"
5 games up still.........

all is well :-)

Arrodondo

which is Spanish for open the flood gates

unoriginal basterd
i was giving moondoggy props
cupie...what' the paypal address for the shirts?
oh i know silly
If this is what our playoff performance is going to look like

May as well give up

Comments like this

are ridiculous.

Why didn't Aybar turn two and end the inning?
Good thing

We are slumping now instead of the playoffs. Hopefully we make them.

Arrodondo

which is Spanish for open the flood gates

Free Wings!!!!!

oh wait….

Moondoggy

Is there something bigger than floodgates?

the ump's wife's ass
way to bring it back around
U-G-L-Y!

You ain’t got no alibi…

well gnite guys

too old for this shit

AirAMeatballdo
taking woodstock...

the brown acid sounds pretty good right now

dondo fail...

anyone see inglorious bastards?

i think we're watching them right now.....

they have the “A” on their hats

want to

haven’t had the chance yet. i know a few people that have said it’s really good

its a tarantino film so...

its better than death proof even tho that movie was supposed to show how 70s horror films were cheesy. bottom line my friend is that its a great movie with usual tarantino dialogue…

I was disappointed……prety slow-paced.

like i said that movie was all dialouge like the daniel day lewis movie there will be blood

its good dudes a great director but hes pretty cocky.

that Big Carl is pretty darn good
+1
yeah ... well worth the $2 1/2 Obama dollars
If the offense takes a dive to basically come back into line

and the pitching stays like this, we may not make the playoffs.

Im just speculating, and not doom-and glooming it.

This might be the start of a Mets-like collapse.

ehhh

our offense was ridiculously amazing for a month… we were bound to hit a stretch like this. we’ll pick it up big-time in a week or two, and it’ll be right in time for the playoffs.

i have a good feeling about this year….

I hope so, but the offense only really clicked when Vlad was gone

Coincidence, maybe, but it still worries me.

i've thought the same thing

but Figgy, Abreu, Morales (to an extent) and others are mini-slumping. Torii is still working stuff out. this was bound to happen sooner or later. better now than a month from now

and add Rivera to the mini-slump list
maybe.

but i’d prefer this than a 21 game lead and get knocked out in the first round.

I think theyre gonna step their game up in september.

tap tap tap

Toriiiiiiiiiiiii

where've you been?
Thanks man

I decided when I’m in game threads the Halos lose so I been avoiding them for months. Trying reverse psychology KENDRY!

We're not dead yet!!!

just 9 more and we can send this into extra innings!

woo hoo

no surrender in this team

flood gates

Reverse psychology:

Buttplug

keep it mellow
listen to cupie ... i got banned one night from a thread
  • whispering

for quoting joe buck … shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

kk. Earplugs.
KK Downing
Some Heads are Gonna Roll...
* whispering

i now go into my bathroom, close the door and turn off the lights and quote Joe Buck.

shhhhhhhhhhhhh

hahaha

’08 All-Star game….

ssshhhhhhhhhhhh!
what did you say?
Slyintine, you are under oath:

“Have you recently, or have you ever quoted Joe Buck?”

Somebody better beat the crap out of the Monkey

cuz he’s gonna have to earn his money tonight

of course

a little league game breaks out on the base paths… fail.

cliff lee = jesus christ in the NL
Gotta like the Phillies chances if he keeps it up.
Yay, more runs.
man we have horrible timing
We're sneaking up on them
ROY HALLADAY

has been mauled in each of his last two starts…

doesn't seem like he gives a crap

since all of the trade rumuors before the deadline.

poor guy got his soul ripped out

probably wanted to get traded to a contender..once it didnt happen, he said “to hell with it”

my guess

Probably conserving. Doesn't want to get injured on a team that has no chance of playoff.
yea i heard about that, whats wrong with Doc?
Maaaaaiiiizerrrr
inching closer and closer
mice tits doesn't want the rally to die
Phys is stupid

ok i’m done

Tell us something we don't know.
Never give up! Never surrender!
no retreat, no surrender?
How is Verlander clocking 100 this late?
100 mph

Just sayin

Verlander is getting yoinked.
Good night Justin
Rally Fireworks

Disney Magic ? ? ?

i love it

how our offense decides to show-up.. after arredondo blows up. where was this when it was 1-0?

Tis a big defecit

but manageable. Let’s rock Detroit’s world

I love your optimism!

Stuck with Verlander a little too long there

but I’m not complaining

i mean hes the ace of the line up

its understandable

hey...you were supposed to have left!!!

I’m proud of you, Ivy

Chone Chone Chone

Riggatoni

If for no other reason

I hope we come back so we can torture princeton11loveshalos and the rest of the nancies who left ear;y for the rest of the season

hey im still here

couldnt resist

way to hang with, Ivy
its the angels

even when they are down by this much i gotta watch

yeah that 7 spot hurts in the top half of the inning now..........
Anyone wish Nick a Happy Birthday?

Of course you did.

Happy Birthday Nick.

happy birthday nick

you are missed very much

At least Arredondo found his location in salt lake
Wow Figgy that was pretty crappy
great fielding rodriguez
i think arredondo

misses preston gomez more than anybody..

bad juju

shouldn’t mention Raffi-Rod and Ramon Ortiz in the same sentence, Phyz…

i thought they were Catholics?
pinball wizards
Hope NewRod is OK
Our guys are getting injured like no other
Another one bites the dust....

damn

LIP READING

Scioscia on the mound to the infielders:

WE ARE STILL IN THIS GAME

WE WILL WIN WITH WHAT WE GOT!
Soth

knows it!!!!!!!!

Since I have an unreasonable passionate hate for that saying

can we agree to never use it again if we lose this year, hence not winning with what we had?

He means 'it all'

WWWit allWWWG

Well yeah. the WS obviously

I dont know, I just dont think we should preach the Stoneman motto every year.

I remember hating that he basically said that to himself every year no matter how retarded it was. I dont want the HH contingent to start being all Stonemany.

Agreed.

Also I’m pretty sure it’s We Will Win With What We Have.

You can't possibly subscribe to the laws of grammar

with that sig

Yup

it’s too late anyways

would (sic) after my sig help?
palmer in position for his 10th win.

:|

W6G

make it happen

c'mon palmer

bring us your offensive mojo!

Palmer ...

Napoli’s twin bro, separated at birth?

Dinnersalad?
What happened in the tigers dugout?
Verlander and Laird barking at each other.
well then

good for us, right?

kick his ass, Laird!
cmon be defensive torii
Steal second Bobby
or

go to second on Vlad’s walk

time for Juan Bomb............

Vlad just drew a walk

shocking, isn't it?

I think the earth just shifted on its axis.

I watched a movie with the wife

why did Oliver only throw 3 pitches in the boxscore? Is he hurt?

lefty righty BS

a mistake

whew.... that's way better

than him being hurt though, so that’s a relief

def. a mistake!

i agree

if they left him in this game could be tied at 4….

let's go johnny rivers
Come on Juan Rivera
We need something for K-Mo now.
Wow. That ended quick
I really wanna know who made the idea of the howards commercials
As bad as the televised ones are...

the radio spots are horrible / bizarre.

Firemen fighting fires.
what were they doing when Arredondo was getting ripped to shreds.....
collecting ridiculous overtime and getting a fat pension
not a big fan of firefighter union

in LA

yea was I the only one not too upset about rolling blackouts?
oh trust me

im workin for the mayor and the firefighter union was just ridiculous.

all I know is

my sister is a 1st grade teacher with 42 students, and I don’t think many firefighters lost their jobs. I’d much rather lay off the firefighters than the teachers. I’d rather not lay off either of them, but guess that’s not possible.

Ah so Miggy gotta a homerun

that one is all on Howie, total jinx job right there

Does this mean Palmer isn't getting the start?
one can hope we are trading for Harang.....
Hes out for the season, silly
soth says bell gets another turn in the rotation

i heard it on the radio before the game, and i think there’s an article on angelsbaseball.com

let me see how much money I can find lying around

to bet on that games over….

il bet he wins his next start
run support is key

his pitches have absolutely no movement … not very impressed with his stuff at all.

yea he'll win it Matt Palmer style

8-6

thats what im going for
it's still better than having SOS's mid 80 fastball getting teed off
Come on Angels. Let's make something happen
6 runs in 2 innings

let’s get to work

How come the Tiger fly outs, and hits, seem to be more exciting than ours Phyzz?
GET THE FUCK OUT
Keep fighing bobby
RALLY RALLY RALALRKLAHR:LAHG:ALGN:GN:LSBNS:LN:LGJN:LGJN:SDGDSKL:SDG:
Arigato Bobbi-san
Regardless of if the Angels win this game right now

you know Leyland is shitting his pants right now

I'd be shitting if the team I was playing against scored 7 runs when down 0-10
LOL

this team…………….

I love it and hate it all at the same time

I came for the party

to get naughty

for the gangbang?
you guys are watching a different game than I

Two Out Baseball

vladdy is HUNGRY
cmon vlad

1st pitch waterfall action

vlad vlad vlad vlad!
wooooooooooooot!!!!!!
tying run to the plate
Dear God I wish I could see this.

Great to be back in Berkeley, but I’d rather be able to watch a Halos comeback. BTW, I looked at the score with 2 out and said, “No way they’d score that much with only four outs left in the game.” Have I learned nothing from this season???

That my friend is called

a learning experience

VLADDYYYYYYYYYY!!!
Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnnn
just wondering

does that sign in the background have to be green so that ESPN can put their own advertisements on it? or is it green on ESPN2?

Someone wake up ZuLong
Big Bad Vlad!!!!!
win or lose

this team has something special

I take back my upsetness for this team's offense

It has come alive. If we lose, at least we can look towards the future

wrote a song about it like to hear it here it go

We Will When With What We Got

isn't matty palmer in the game?

PALMER MOJO!!!

palmer = RUNS
so does

Palmer = Taco Bell

too?

hahah

that took me a few seconds

Palmer is the best run producer in the game.
And look who's coming up to bat.

My goodness folks, this could get crazy.

one swing away from a brand new game

I LOVE THIS TEAM!!

c'mon johnny rivers

just put one in the gap somewhere.. or over the fence..

C'mon Juanito!!!

It’s Rally Time!

johnny rivers

let’s go

damn but great inning
dammit..

K-mo, Izzy, Naps, Aybar.. i hope they can get it done..

damn

just shut them down this inning

Great inning. We need one more 3+ run inning. Come on!

No slacker in our lineup. LET’S GO ANGELS!

ok...walkoff i guess...
hell a win is a win haha
Stupid GameDay

“Juan Rivera grounds out softly…” That hurt.

haters

is it ESPN’s gameday?

Nope, MLB.com

I think that hurts a little more.

everyone’s a critic

to their credit

that was putting it kindly.

matt palmer

going back out for the 9th..

And promptly gets an out on two pitches
Make that 2 outs on 3 pitches
Palmer making it look easy.
Palmer raking.

this guys DESERVES the starting spot.

matty

wants to get the offense back out there quick, before they cool down..

and get a win too!
seriously.....

lets pitch Palmer every game the rest of the year…………lol

Even if his arm falls off
What kind of thinking is that?

You meant to say ESPECIALLY if his arm falls off.

nice AB juan

my dead grandmother could have bunted it that far. just sayin’

but not like Figgy’s double play ball that was a rally killer was any better. so it’s not like I’m picking on him.

MATTY

he be bad

w00t!

RALLY TIME EVERYBODY

very quick inning

i like it

Aight Game Time now

LETS GO ANGELS

MIKE EFFIN PLUMBER!
Kendry Morales needs to bat 5th

There have been many times rivera has multiple runners on and doesn’t come thru.

as a big Rivera fan

I actually agree with you.

yeah he has 6 LOB today.......

not a great day for Juan

definetely

should be batting in top 5 no doubt

lets do this!!

i’m studying for a clinical ortho test, and this game is making it managable.. seeing how my ortho professor is at the game tonight.. WOOT!

you sure he didn't leave at or b4 the 10th inning

or is he hardcore?

I mean the inning it became 10-0
he's pretty hardcore

its all he ever talks about in class.. all of his class examples have to do with angels baseball.. lol..

give me a clinical ortho Angels example

you’ve piqued my interest

I study every match this team.
LSB watching the game too

and they are scared

For those of you with MLB.TV

Very interesting game between the Giants and Rockies

Btm of 14 Giants 4-1 with the Rockes having the bases loaded and 1 out

got more important things to worry about
I have the angels on tv

and the NL game on my computer

Ugh. Dang.
well u did just call him K-mo
Freakin' Kowbell!
c'mon izzy

get it started boy king!

base runners Boy King

we need base runners

walk would be great
walk off grand slam for the rockies?

wow

Rockies love the dramatic
sweet that won me my 3 team parlay
3-1 changeup?

pussy

Go Gauchos!

Spilborough walk off grand slam

weak 9th

just too far to come back from

oh well, good game.

Arredondo can go far away.

yea he's just not that good

maybe he should try his hand at SS again….

why not

why did they just not keep him at AAA until he shows his really good stuff consistently? monday morning quarterback, hindsight is 20/20, yadda yadda, but let him prove himself all over again against slightly lesser talent. but I think even Rodriguez et al would have been better tonight.

to think. If we had put in our good relievers instead of the bad ones

We might’ve won.

Wrong Hud

Miggy didn’t hurt nearly as much as Arrodondo did

well nice that the offense came around..........

too bad Dondo had to channel his inner porn star and blow

My buddy just exploded in anger at the Giants game

Walk-off GS after the Giants take a 4-1 lead. That’s gotta hurt. But not as much as today’s loss. We coulda had ’em!

no way a walk off Granny hurts way worse than this game.........
Yeah, but I'm not a Giants fan ;)
what's worse is that they walked the pitcher with the bases loaded b4 that GS
