I hope
it goes back to 1900’s. Taught in a classroom. Chris Young took the class in 2001.
It should be taught by the webmaster / CEO of 1866baseball.com.

Three threads for a game that starts at 11:00 AM.
Wow
posting like typing fools
and I just realized that I might need to add some time at the end. 3 hours is sometimes a bit short.
opiejeanne - August 6, 2009 reply
And it’s more like 2 hours 50…Because the start times after 11:00 and then the game starts late, most of the time…
On with the game…

blochead - August 6, 2009 reply
1 out
Wasn’t a pretty sight to see, that’s for sure.
…be afraid
prefer Speier? Fuentes? Oliver after yesterday?
Rev Halofan - August 6, 2009 reply
…I can’t help myself
I’m more fearful of Jane Jetson… she takes the wallet loaded with ca$h.
That was the funniest thing I’ve read all day.
Jay Cal - August 6, 2009 reply
when he isn’t relying on the slider so much. that thing hangs 80 % of the time
I’m getting positive energies from this game…and quite a bit of negative vibes from the Chisox dugout…
top 5
boooo
RexTookMyStash - August 6, 2009 reply
would turn down the chance to bathe with Barry Bonds?
We both get to games in the 8th inning.
You were the only one.
UK Halo - August 6, 2009 reply
Dont like the Angels?
as a pitch flies to the backstop…
lots of twists and turns…
Question mark was for ;)
Nailing baseballs into the screen.
When I was 22.
No lie.
They thought you, ahem, swung the other way.
Gorbachav5 - August 6, 2009 reply
Right?
If that’s the look you’re going for
Are a profiler
It was thick enough for someone to dig in?
WiHaloFan - August 6, 2009 reply
You need a stronger guy in the 8th anyways, and I think Bulger looking great for that role.
When I was 22
All that acne was gone the minute I graduated High School.
when i had my wisdom teeth pulled out
S the first thing I see when I see Ervin
That’s his self-doubt manifested on his physical being.
all day.
Was actually quite serious.
And I’m giving you a zero for the day.
I find it somewhat flattering, lol.
Santana needs spiritual uplifting. Then the physical manifestation will disappear like it never existed in the first place.
When did the Angels get him?
ZiK - August 6, 2009 reply
It’s like seeing people’s thoughts come to life right before your very eyes…
Yeahhhhhh
.
i might poke my eyes out
boom goes the dynamite
Really?
Categorizable -——————-|- Uncategorizable
Uncategorizable!!!!!!!! HR!!!!!! Erick Aybar!!!!
yeah
What game am I watching?
god bless fox
I have never called him anything but AYBAR and POOPER
I still don’t like him. I wish we would have dealt him. I think he’s playing ANDRE THE GIANT above his head. And it won’t last.
…we’re too fickle not to get on his back as soon as he has a bad day
I’m already mad at Rivera for being 1-4 today. The guy’s had like 100 rbi’s lately.
…misery
I’m already tuned in to the exciting redsox-yankees game!
According to ESPN this should be a good one and warrants 28 hours of front page coverage.
the more ESPN covers two overhyped teams, the more people come to my blog looking to see what the Angels are all about!
for the greatest rivalry of all times
First the dude on the Indians and now this guy. The ‘h’ goes after the ‘o’ people!!!
it means mama was bragging about her profession
Hey, you calling Jhonny’s mama a hore? ;)
i think he was callin her ‘hon’
:(
First mistake
There is joy in Oak-town. All 2,600 fans in attendance go wild.
more tarps at todays game
There are actually only 12 people in the stands, and most of them have just been sleeping there since last night.
mastermind565 - August 6, 2009 reply
that all fine by me
Best Case Scenario: Angels Win, Dodgers Lose Angels Lose, Dodgers Lose, Angels Win, Dodgers Win Angels Lose, Dodgers Win
Gonna be a good one. I can feel it…
who’s on first
idk…
highlandhalo - August 6, 2009 reply
Hitters don’t like gettin’ squeezed either. ;-)
That pitch has bad mojo on it. He should’ve left it alone for this series…
fastball yanked
seems to be alright
i dont care
Is it US Cellular or is it the team?
That’s going to ruin our run differential which will ruin our Pythagorean W-L which will make people think the Angels are overrated!
The horror!
…the only thing worse than David Beckham is herpes (and it’s a close run thing)
This kid has one good outing and everyone is all over his wagon.
KubanKowbell19 - August 6, 2009 reply
His ERA is half of what it was a couple of months ago
then its a save situation

tanana40 - August 6, 2009 reply
And nice to see my power affect the outcome of this game today. It never fails to amaze me everytime I use it…
*shivers
I don’t understand this reaction…
So that’s it. Okay, thanks for helping me make sense of this. :-)
thanks to all of you for a memorable time here! I will not forget you…for the next 55 min. >;-)
The one time we beat the Sox, I’m stuck running errands. Ah, well, they won. That’s all I care about.

it goes back to 1900’s. Taught in a classroom. Chris Young took the class in 2001.

He needs a semi worthwhile outing

Who woulda thought
Three threads for a game that starts at 11:00 AM.

A lot of slacking in the workplace in Orange County today

I'm in here a lot, too
Figgi4life - August 6, 2009 via mobile
Thanks for reminding me. I'm recording the game,
and I just realized that I might need to add some time at the end. 3 hours is sometimes a bit short.
opiejeanne - August 6, 2009
Yeah
And it’s more like 2 hours 50…Because the start times after 11:00 and then the game starts late, most of the time…

eyespy - August 6, 2009
Alright
linkbruin - August 6, 2009
Good to see the offense shake off that bad case of RKS the past two games.
Wasn’t a pretty sight to see, that’s for sure.
rosinbag42 - August 6, 2009
They're warming up Jepsen...
…be afraid
The Limey - August 6, 2009
you'd
prefer Speier? Fuentes? Oliver after yesterday?
Rev Halofan - August 6, 2009
yeah Jepsen more appealing than all those at this point
linkbruin - August 6, 2009
I've been conditioned to be fearful of Kevin Jepsen...
…I can’t help myself
The Limey - August 6, 2009
I’m more fearful of Jane Jetson… she takes the wallet loaded with ca$h.
Downing Rules - August 6, 2009
for some reason
That was the funniest thing I’ve read all day.
Jay Cal - August 6, 2009
Jepsen's been pretty good recently. I still hold my breath, though.
opiejeanne - August 6, 2009
jepsen is fine
when he isn’t relying on the slider so much. that thing hangs 80 % of the time
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - August 6, 2009
Bothers me none
I’m getting positive energies from this game…and quite a bit of negative vibes from the Chisox dugout…

Hey what's the difference b/t me and a Giants fan?
RexTookMyStash - August 6, 2009
You
would turn down the chance to bathe with Barry Bonds?
Rev Halofan - August 6, 2009
Giant fans have stash?
eyespy - August 6, 2009
Nothing!
We both get to games in the 8th inning.
RexTookMyStash - August 6, 2009
I thought my joke was funny
RexTookMyStash - August 6, 2009
You were the only one.
Downing Rules - August 6, 2009
It was true; Rev's was funny.
opiejeanne - August 6, 2009
I'll stick to fart jokes next time
RexTookMyStash - August 6, 2009
I'm all for a good fart joke.

Nah, more like screws...

rosinbag42 - August 6, 2009
That's what the
Question mark was for ;)
Figgi4life - August 6, 2009 via mobile
Nailing baseballs into the screen.
Downing Rules - August 6, 2009
I used to wear a beard like Ervins...
When I was 22.
Jay Cal - August 6, 2009
why would anyone admit that?
UK Halo - August 6, 2009
The chicks digged it.
No lie.
Jay Cal - August 6, 2009
they were wrong
UK Halo - August 6, 2009
As was their grammar.
opiejeanne - August 6, 2009
That's because
They thought you, ahem, swung the other way.
Gorbachav5 - August 6, 2009
not that there is anything wrong with that
Right?
Jay Cal - August 6, 2009
Not at all
If that’s the look you’re going for
Gorbachav5 - August 6, 2009
You sir
Are a profiler
Jay Cal - August 6, 2009
So,
It was thick enough for someone to dig in?
Figgi4life - August 6, 2009 via mobile
Not the one's I'm interested in.
WiHaloFan - August 6, 2009
bulger will be the closer in the post season
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - August 6, 2009
Im hoping Fuentes finds his stuff
You need a stronger guy in the 8th anyways, and I think Bulger looking great for that role.
linkbruin - August 6, 2009
I used to have acne like Ervin
When I was 22
Rev Halofan - August 6, 2009
I was lucky...
All that acne was gone the minute I graduated High School.
Jay Cal - August 6, 2009
I used to have cheeks like Ervin
when i had my wisdom teeth pulled out
blochead - August 6, 2009
Acne
S the first thing I see when I see Ervin
Figgi4life - August 6, 2009 via mobile
That's not acne Ervin has
That’s his self-doubt manifested on his physical being.
rosinbag42 - August 6, 2009
the first funny thing you've written
all day.
Jay Cal - August 6, 2009
Wasn't trying to be funny there.
Was actually quite serious.
rosinbag42 - August 6, 2009
then I take away my compliment
And I’m giving you a zero for the day.
Jay Cal - August 6, 2009
Ah, the number of the Divine One
I find it somewhat flattering, lol.

Santana needs spiritual uplifting. Then the physical manifestation will disappear like it never existed in the first place.
rosinbag42 - August 6, 2009
Bulger is pretty awesome
linkbruin - August 6, 2009
I'm liking this Bulger guy
When did the Angels get him?
WiHaloFan - August 6, 2009
Rams traded Bulger because their offense line couldn't keep him on his feet.

I have never called him anything but AYBAR and POOPER

As good as he's playing.
I still don’t like him. I wish we would have dealt him. I think he’s playing ANDRE THE GIANT above his head. And it won’t last.

the more ESPN covers two overhyped teams, the more people come to my blog looking to see what the Angels are all about!

What's with spelling Jhonny incorrectly?
First the dude on the Indians and now this guy. The ‘h’ goes after the ‘o’ people!!!
Gorbachav5 - August 6, 2009
it means mama was bragging about her profession

Jepsen gettin squeezed
highlandhalo - August 6, 2009
Jepsen needs to squeeze harder then.
Hitters don’t like gettin’ squeezed either.
;-)
rosinbag42 - August 6, 2009
Jepsen had to throw that breaker again.
That pitch has bad mojo on it. He should’ve left it alone for this series…
rosinbag42 - August 6, 2009
the homer came on a fastball
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - August 6, 2009
good things happen when jepsen avoids throwing the hanging slider
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - August 6, 2009
nevermind
fastball yanked

Is it US Cellular or is it the team?

That’s going to ruin our run differential which will ruin our Pythagorean W-L which will make people think the Angels are overrated!

Sweet! We won!
The one time we beat the Sox, I’m stuck running errands. Ah, well, they won. That’s all I care about.
