Maybe first
Sorry
Huh?
I was first ;-)
I have me as first lol
Hopefully that was Ervin's last inning

I’m kinda glad I can’t actually watch the game

Where you at?
He's at second.
let's go Angels!

Hopefully Mathis can hit another Mike Napoli Style Homerun with a runner on.

This can't keep happening

Ervin is clearly not right, and either needs some work at Salt Lake or surgery.

Agreed.

Send him down. If he recovers and has his velocity back, send him up. If not, let him have surgery.

Either way: GET ERVIN FIXED.

He was dominating last year. He is TERRIBLE this year.

I think he's hurt and not admitting it .
Most likely
he cant throw the slider the same way he did last year

probably never will be able to again

I think the same of Saunders.
Santana does need surgery...

and everyone in that clubhouse knows it, too. Why keep trotting a pitcher out there in that kind of condition anyway???

GMJ, come on and hit the ball!
Lol

What a mess ofa game

lol

“2 solid pitchers on the mound”

give it a rest gooby

Gubi

he has to say soemthing after each Rory pause. HAS TO. no matter how inane, mundane or insane.

shit

now i’m noticing it … and it’s killing me

I like Gubi
somebody has to
he's super tan and has really nice hair
you've found his good points

but he mangles the English language more than an HH poster on eight beers.

or Mat on no beers
...but very early in the morning (for him)
Dye

almost killed himself there. quite an athlete.

looked like me playing whiffle ball after 12 beers
You've played whig
*whiffle ball after 12 years?
*beers

I’m havin some problems…

LOL

you rule.

A few buddies and I still play whiflle ball. and yes it is a blast.
everyone should do it.

3 attempts at a

7-word sentence. Mind boggling

mind bottling
whig?

this isn’t 1776

Accidently submitted it
when's the last time GMJ went deep ?

And I dont mean in Bentley ?

the last time he took HGH?
ask Jonathan Broxton
quick new gameday thread, much faster hook than Soth
cupie is good that way...
Yay

Another walk

I'll take a walk, Gary.

So will GAry. requires much less effort.

Just stand there

don’t need to know whats going on around him

Do it again, Mathis.
Angels need to blow this game out to win.

Fortunately, Mathis set the tone for them early.
>;-)

Dye caught a ball!
wonder when ozzie will make the call

for the bean ball

Gary needs to be running at some point in this count

sittin’ at 1B is just plain lazy

When Vlad, Guerrero or Morales is up.
Vlad, Rivera or Morales

I mean

Damn. Replying wrong again!
GA was lazy

Gary is just dumb

that's what aybar does
Obviously, Danks really stinks this game

So capitalize while we can. That means get Ervin out NOW.

you capitalized the NOW
I wish Soth capitalized the OUT
Told you, Gary!!!

>;-p

nice stretch konerko

lol

Probably hard to do with broken ribs
I know

why did he do that little hop.

it was cute, and all, but why?

Aybar forgot what Abreu

Taught him

I swear if Scioscia lets Ervin come out for the next inning...

well you catch my drift, lol.

Can you dumb it down for me dr?
aybar failing the litmus test

we’ll always have july, 2009 buddy

Ervin Blows....I'm done ignore it!

-

Aybar must work his way back from the "dark side" of the bat (Vlad), lol
Return to the "light side", Erick (Abreu).

>;-)

Ervin's still there :(
Ready for the lead off walk?
Trivia Question

isn’t that wrong, wasn’t it Esteban Loaiza?

what was the question?
Whoo!!!!!

No walk. Baby steps…Baby steps…

ooh.. an out
Boodoo back for the next inning
Arrghhh, Scioscia's so stubborn!!!!

You’re not helping your team out like this, Mike!

Mike know less than you

But that strikeout lookking sure makes your whinignlook stupid and MIke look smart

was that english or american?
that was 'beer'
or for the Rev

too many coffees

actually no coffee yet

that is what it was

do you need a shake?
And they still put you on the Radio

Besides the chocolates, what other considerations do they give you to make that drive?

go coffee now drink
I would give you a +1 but you'd just think I was sucking up.
still serving up meatballs

right down the middle

there's a good changeup
A 1-2 count!!!

Who are you andwhat did you do with voodoo? (Get it? XD)

Check the basement for pods.
Santana 09 reminds me of Colon 07

Bad, bad, bad with a few touches of luck – that make him look good at times.

k, I'll take that.
Oooh 1-2-3 inning

No shit. He’ll come out for the 5th!

CG???
He'll hafta throw about 230 pitches. LOL

For an infant, you sure whine like a toddler.

2 down , and still ... wow a 1-2-3 inning for VooDoo
Yay
I'm still not convinced.

Santana pitching on borrowed time now.

I agree.

Get somebody else in.

from what bank?

I wanna get me some of that

Kendry needs a hit
Can ya fly, Bobby?!?

lol
>;-)

HOLY

OPPOSITE POWER?

that park must be a joke

lol, what a bandbox
Abreu, our MVP, with the dinger
Bobby

the MAN

Categorizability meter

Categorizable -——————-|- Uncategorizable

Uncategorizable!!!!!!!! HR!!!!!! Bobby!!!!!!!

ABreu

Bobby Abreu

Has Vladdy got another one in him?

for as much shit we have been giving Boodoo and Soxh

Danks is still in the game

Managers do have other considerations

bullpen usage among them.

Having said that, Ozzie Guillen is a twat.

I think Ozzie just doesn't like Danks
*************HOMERUN*********BOB-BAY!!!!!!***************
Bobby "come through" Abreu

yup

I like that.
Bearing in mind the hysteria here about Santana...

…imagine what they’re saying on the White Sox boards about Danks

Best one I saw

Actually on the CBSsports thread:

“Breaking news, John Danks sucks.”

For some reason, that struck me as particularly funny.

Rivera!!!
Bobby "Will Never Be"-treu

:-D

C O F F E E

java java java …finally … good morning

folgers instant crystals?
Hahaha

Good morning

Good morning. or afternoon.
Soth and Ozzie playing chicken with their pitchers

and with waffles

There' that Juan Rivera double.
Big Crowd

MAKE THEM KRY, KENDRY

I'm excited about

Dotel

What happened?
He's warming up
I thought we might have traded for him
I got a fever
Dang it kendry
Yikes.

Kendry, you going to let these old men hit all the homeruns.

he should have 5 hr in this ball park
swing the bat!

its ok, i still love ya

btw i am excited for Naps Bobblehead

Me too. Got my tickets yesterday.
same here...

convinced dad to pay for them too… hooray!

vladdy is messing up kendry's mojo;)
Back from cookin

and HK almost kills someone

do you think it messes with the nerves

if you hit somebody with a bat that flys out of your hands?

naw

just hope he’s ok lol
give that kid an ice pack

Offspeed always makes the bat fly, lol
Kendrick tryin to make an exit

From Chicago

why can't he hit a ball that far
Single up the middle Howie!!
Pitch in the ribs,

bat in the stands,

the Angels are going to have to fight the whole of the South Side to get out of town

i suggest they use willits as a human shield
invisible force field
That's gonna smart
Damn

Hope lil dude is alright.

Ouch, that kid got a bat in the head.
I think it was the shoulder.
Rev must be laughing

like at Dusty Baker’s son

I laughed at Dusty's kid too. Little twerp didn't belong on the field during the game.
No, this was the post game bawling
Eh, you're useless Howie...

jk, lol
>;-)

is that a mohawk on your emoticon

or are your legs spread for Ozzie Guillen?

I believe it's his eyebrows

As in, mad

or as in plucked like a tranny

one thing you can say about Angel Stadium

They would have twenty ushers swarming all over that kid who got hit in the face by Howie’s bat. Meanwhile two minutes into it and the beer guy is still waving for an usher.

Its Chi-Town

Gotta raise ’em tough.

Yup

Kid got no excuse there.
;-)

baseball bat beatings are probably common in the South Side
It was only a bat

one f***in’ bat

vladdy is messing up howie's mojo
Here's Dye
sucks for that kid to get hit in the face by a bat

he’s probably scarred for life. I heard some fan say “HOW BOUT SOME PINE TAR!”

at least it's better than

a frank francisco chair to the face

That the guy from the Rangers?

He hit the wrong person. We know the woman’s husband, and he probably deserved it.

Howie bout some pine tar
The moment Santana starts grabbing his elbow...

I will breathe a sigh of relief like I’ve never breathed before! The charade must end now!!!

elbowist or

racist?

Bobby is "Against The Wind" today.
Homeplate ump definitely wants to get away on "getaway day", lol.
Grade A Moron gets it right
i cannot wait for the Premiership to start again

go MAN U

What Soccer ???

ona baseball site. Peh Peh Peh

im an open minded individual
does HH endorse any particular soccer team?
careful.....
that Brazilian one

that one where the girls got their kits painted on

Ive always wanted to be an artist
do they play in the premier league?
for only $19.99 a month

my PayPal link

santana in for the 6th

yes or no?

YES

and the 7th

Scioscia will leave him in until his elbow pops.

Knowing him, lol.

Yes

soth for the CG, got to win this game of chicken with Ozzie

GOOD GOD!

I didn’t check the score, but upon reading all these comments I swore is was like Sox up 12-7. Get a handle folks. “Bitch once.” My bullying into positive thinking ends here.

Dozens of dogs are not being kicked

because people are letting it out here

xD

but the Chinese won’t get the tender meat the year, bummers for them

Don't go kicking Aybar.

He looks MEAN.

hates the mini sirloin

Onions on the mini-sirloin, IIRC.

You're awesome.
Gary back to what got him up in the mjors to begin with...

>;-p

haha jeff

RUN!

He looked so surprised.
Mathis

got whiplash on that one

Looking like Alice Cooper ther Jeff

Welcome to my eye-black nightmare and all…

hahaha

this game has everything

im waiting for a fight

after the GS

Mathis for my panther of the game!

I “heart” Jeff (in a totally baseball-related way of course)
;-)

shaved

your mohawk I see, now your emoticon looks as brainless as your posts

ban
are you banning rev?
i'm sure he's broken some rule!
There wasa a rule

about not pool hustling on the site

I think he's just a kid
ban? No, ban is a roll-on.

anti-perspirant.

isnt Ban the head of the UN?

No not UN, but DEUX. Merci, merci.

Bad mojo, windbag. Not until 27 have been recorded.

Yeah, but I'm feelin' particularly giddy about today...

and not even Santana can shake that away, lol.

Whoa, I just made a rhyme...

and I didn’t even plan it like that! Honest!!!

Danks has given up...

6R 8H and 3HR… he’s still pitching? I think the Sox fans have more leeway to complain today.

“Danks for nuthin’!”

Drop and give us 20 figgy
Well....

…..that sucked

Ah what happened there in that inning?

Wasn’t Angels-like at all…

Someone decided to start talking panthers a bit too early. ;)

Hey now, there's still time...

and besides, I was the one that got Jeff going in this game so I say you should thank me for the “extra” encouragement!
>;-)

dem legs

dey grow back

Thanks.

But next time don’t forget the gravy.

So you like gravy, too?

And I thought I was the only one, lol.

Mike Napoli bobblehead!

im so getting laid if i get one

..... why?
that was a reference to Wihalofans comix
even though it looks more like Ryan Budde.
is he still with the organization?
Ok, has Santana actually settled down?
speakin to early

What did early say in response?

To quote the pregant dreadlocked Doyer

I’m BA-AACK

Hey Red. We missed you.
stop the bleeding
He got 9 out in a row. Walked one. Take a deep breath.
EXACTLY...

I was just counting as you posted that.

take him out
Why? HR to GETZ?

(gameday updates)
Single to picher. Ooh, yep, that’s the straw that broke the camels back (/sarcasm)

A's up 2 - 0 over Rangers
Lets go Choakland Lets go!

huh? wow!

c'mon rev

don’t act like you’ve never rooted for the A’s;)

top o the third
sorry

second

Yay Oakland! Sweep!
Bulger and Oliver in the bp.
One more voodoo
K3yerout
Totally rad
K'd
Finally a slider with a bit of bite
Someone here predicted that Mathis would make him throw the slider.
Wasn't me.

hehe..

Now if you're talking about Jeff's HR...

well that was ALL ME, lol!

Must've been resin... he's uncanny with his amazing predictions.
Oh, snap.
me

did he throw it?

ive just been listening in the background

I think he got a K on the slider. That would be an emphatic “HAI!”

Yay Santana
Take me away.
hate that damn song/commercial
Me too. They play it even more often on the radio broadcasts.
Should be southwests song
Good job voodoo

Roll call

MINI SIRLOIN BURGERS?????????????????

!!!!!!!!!!!!!

they’re BAAACCKKKKK!

Sales have slumped.

They need a slumpbuster.

no no no

they are all employed there already

The mini bufallo ranch chicken sandwich

Was a bust

the commercials were terrible
there a whole new dance thats sweepin the nation
And mini chicken ranch that's a taste sensation?
I thought they were cute.

So do my rugrats.

I'm tellin you all

Soth and Ozzie have a bet going. Who’s shit pitcher stinks more

I don't think it's us.

Skanks versus Voodoo.

Oh Aybar
admirable, admiral.
Aybar is frisky today.
Odd word choice

But okay

You remember Happy Days?
He's gettin' frisky widdit.
whereas GMJ is frigid
Aybar bunting

It’s a trap!

Aybar can go 5-5 in this game just gettin' it down

He’’s that fast and the Chisox fielding’s that bad, lol.

Hit it Bobby one more time
Bobby's not gonna listen to you today.

Watch…

Skankey fan?
Nope

just saw a glimpse into the future, that’s all.
;-)

You must work for the FCC and have that extra 5 seconds edge over us. You have no powers, man. ;)

Eh, who knows what really goes on here on my end...

you all just keep on wondering!!! Hahaha..

(scratches head, shrugs, moves on)

sorry not wanting to
Goin' all Britney on us.
Shhh, people will get overexicted

What is this “exicted?” Another “proper” spelling of a word? Teach me.

Heh. You're mean.
I was thinking of Britney and my hand control went awry...

…apologies

Wow...

Heh

Exicted?

I believe that’s incorrect ;)

No, it is exicted, not “incorrect”

Ummmmmm

Wow. My post made sense

Ummmmmm

Wow. My post made sense

Half the sense

for double the price.

gotta remember

he lives on the other side of the pond, and doesn’t get all the news like we do. They are amused with the continuing adventures of Posh&Becks

Go easy on him, Pineapple Express.

this America you so speak of
No-one is amused by Posh & Becks

The only amusing things that could happen to Posh and Becks would involve either:
1. A huge ball of flame
2. Inflicting them on our unsuspecting cousins in America – that would be funny…

Jeez. I am slow. Posh Spice and David Beckham. Didn’t they leave the US to go play in Europe? I thought that whole debacle was done.

they left to play with themselves

in different rooms

Leave Britney alone!
Ummmmmmmm
He has a good hitters count, 3-1.
AK hit one off of Feliz yesterday

the supposed second-coming of K-Rod

AK es muy feliz.
feliz was not

Feliz es feliz no mas.

Chupa dreams of walking in the winning run in a WS
quit throwing to first punk
And aybar just about fails
Note to Aybar: do not overrun 2nd.
drink everytime the pechanga commercial is on
TAKE ME AWAY! A SECRET PLACE!
almost as bad as the top gun challenge
Especially the radio
Santanais pitching swell now, Soth was right to stick with him.
He scared me a little in that last inning, but I'm better now.
No, Soth is a 'Grade A Moron'
in the words of the infamous Jim Rome

Have a Take and Don’t Suck.

me thinks

you are the voice of reason.

Speed kills!

But Guillen already knew that. I feel cheated there.
:*(

Crack kills.

Set down the pipe.

cocaine

is a hell of a drug

xD

best skit ever by Dave

You have something on your nose. Right there.
It's BARRY BONDS' big ass-terisk.
Yeah, that's my secret power.

It’s what allowed me to get Mathis on track today.
;-)

Unfortunately, it's only good once every game.

See ya tomorrow.

Nice
If Vlad tries to run here...

it will be “very interesting”, lol.

you laugh just too much

“lol” is a hot key on his computer.

the space bar
LMFAO!

goog one, man…

google one ...

goog = good in my world.

What is the relevance of the 42 in your name.

Paying homage to the great Mo Vaughn?

No relevance.

I just like the number.
:-)

I don't find it interesting

When people’s legs come out of their sockets, always a possibility when Vlad runs hard.

He's like a Frankenstein locomotive.
What did I say?

Not that I called that or anything. I did say “IF”, after all…

Come one Rivera.
I think it's spelled "Juan"
I believe it was meant to be Come On Rivera.
Sigh...

It’s so hard to convey sarcasm on the interwebs

I got it. It was funny.
You need a straight man.

I was just playing that.

Yes, and thanks.

Come Juan and come all!

Darn it
Oh dear God.

That was the worst baserunning I’ve ever seen.

angel baserunning genius
i insist that play never works

but vlad is “special”

2-2 Texas
Young homer
Well, crap. Now we have to win this one.
There's still plenty of game left in Choakland

for the A’s to show their prowess with the bat.

Aybar doing his "Thriller" moves..
need a "pick me up" from kendry
K-Mo!!!!

K-Mo!!!

i need more kowbell
Walk him
let him swing
Shoot, if only my power worked more than once...

C’mon Kendry!!!

Woopeee!!!

;-D

thall drive in one

KMO

i gotta fever baby
So do I, but not the good kind.
Do you need more Kowbell sir?!
Finally Kendry
Kowbell....

woot

YES!!!!!!!!!! KOWBELL BABY

I had nothing to do with that, folks!

That was on Kendry. Quite the hitter ain’t he?

I do not know why
Why not?
fat fingers

make my posts look funny.

I enjoy del taco so much.

It probably is going to send me to an early grave, but lord do I feel bold. or full. or whatever the slogan is.

Del Taco

is the food of the gods.

Del Taco kicks ass on Taco Hell
and we have Tori to prove it
Toxic Belch.

I’ll take “Smell Crotcho” over “Toxic Belch” any day.

Del race is quite good
Stupid iPod auto-correct system

Del Taco

Tacoist?
Who isn't?

Lol

Right now I'm not, but this too shall pass.
Is Howie planning on swinging?
Yes

But not until Dotel throws a slider in the dirt.

A lousy single would be nice right now.
we will

not be swept!!

Of course.... soon as I get back, staff meeting time. :-(
those do suck
Don't need to see the future to know that.

Just sayin’.

I did say the other day that the Angels only need to take ONE from the Chisox...

for them to still have a good road trip.

wouldn' know

don’t pay attention

Won't hold it against ya.

We’re only “human”.
;-)

I'm actually a robot

>;-0<

Glad I bought that insurance policy...
how did you get legs on both ends?
im a robot

LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

>;-0>

Did I miss something? Didn't we sweep somebody just before we got to Chicago?
More voodoo?
More bulge
That's what she said?
So obvious
if you don't pounce you don't post
How did Santana look earlier?
turdish
You're letting him off lightly
Terrible
Like a Pizza Parlor...

Shakey.

Tallish, dark complexion, wearing a red hat
Sounds about right
and a stupid beard
and stupid tattoos
Mathis looks great though.

So Ervin was able to pull through…for now.

Like the cheshire cat
Holy Crap

When did Bulger get his ERA under 4

Our bullpen has been steadily improving

Jepsen doing the ERA drop too, Tuesday night notwithstanding

I've been working too much lately

Haven’t had a chance to indulge my Angel obsession

And all it took was one new pitch...

incredible!!!

A cutter will do that for ya
I thought it was a sinker

A stinker sinker.

I'll have to look it up
http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-angels-fyi25-2009jul25,0,4075838.story

Says Butcher had him readjust his grip on his cutter and it paid dividends, so I guess it’s not really a new pitch so much as a new grip.

2 outs
Still

 want more runs

I wish I could share my secret power with you...

but I already used it on Mathis and it takes 24 hrs to recharge. Sorry.
:-(

the Angel's hunger for more runs is insatiable
That it is.

Which is why I can only use it on one player so I have to be very careful in choosing the right time.
;-)

GMJ or Willits are always a good choice
I may work a miracle in there every day...

but even I’m not God you know, lol.
;-p

You're like that special kid from that movie...
Youre gonna need to reuse that on Mathis
How did that kid get on the field without a helmet?
What kid?
the one with the replacement mitt
The pitcher?
batboy

this is taking too long, sorry

The kid came on the field without a batting helmet to give, and retrieve a catchers mitt(s). I’m wondering if some MLB dude, or dudette seen it.

But thats my beef.

Sorry, I am dense right now. I think I have the flu.
Time for a hit, Gary.
Knuckleballer?

Neww glove…He will unveil his knuckleball on someone…

wow

what a shitty defense

The phyizard

just said the Blanco Sox have 33 more errors than the Halos.

epic

thanks for helping us win.

greay play by Nix
that Tiger education at its finest
Learn from the Best

on a different note: I’m taking a class on baseball. “history of modern baseball” My friend, a huge Cubs fan, told me its an awesome class.

I want that class. Now
The class size is 16

which makes this class even more badass.

Get that PBS Baseball video.

and how back does Modern go?

What would Cubs fans know about modern baseball?
GMJ will take it
Good take
Holy crap Saundo going tmr

we are boned

oh yea

expect heavy showers

We'll be the ones doing the boning...

thank you.

Don't worry, I'm callin' it...

>;-)

Joe will be fine.

Trust me on this.

what was your answer to yourself after this one?

Talkin' to me?
He's had a rest, he's going to be tremendous
but we're going against Corey Feldman

we can’t win that fight

Oh, that guy. I hate him only slightly less than Padilla.
Kinsler is a little punk too
Kinsler is on the DL
Dang it figgins

Bad swing at a bad pitch

figgy doing his best pre-09 impression
Hi, late to the thread

Does everyone still hate Vlad? How’s that whole thing going?

2 for 6 with 2BB's since returning.

I told Scioscia Vlad should be batting at 7.

Vlad hit one out

2-3 with a jack and a bb
