someone in our bullpen could come in to the game and keep the damn lead at what it was when they entered. How many times in a row is the lead going to get bigger?
So when Rory said that the Angels got their first hit today
in the 6th inning, my wife was shocked that it came that late in the game. I told her that Mathis was starting for Napoli and Q was starting for Morales and the first thing out of her mouth was.
" I don’t even watch the games but I’m not that stupid to start them against the Rangers".
lets go!

damn
sure feels nice to get rid of that old thread’s bad mojo
ZiK - August 9, 2009
ah roomy.........
norcaliangelsfan - August 9, 2009
seriously
LETS GO HALOS!!!!
princeton11loveshalos - August 9, 2009
3 innings to score 5
The Limey - August 9, 2009
Gary Matthews Jr. is the worst baseball player in America
JoseGuillenSux - August 9, 2009
he's freaking ARod compared to Q and Mathis
Moondoggy - August 9, 2009
Lackey did not deserve this
Moondoggy - August 9, 2009
well he kind of does if he tells Soth to start Mathis against lefties
MH252525 - August 9, 2009
It's not the lefties, it's the Lackeys
mattwelch - August 9, 2009
yea but I don't mind Lackey having Mathis as his catcher when a rh is on the mound
put putting a 1100+ ops on the bench is inane
MH252525 - August 9, 2009
oh...true
if he tells Soth to start Mathis against anyone
Moondoggy - August 9, 2009
I just got here, so this is probably redundant, but i am disapointed with Mathis's play.
I would really like to see Napoli in the game more. He has been on the bench too much lately.
Big Bad, 'Vlad'! - August 9, 2009

trojanangelfan - August 9, 2009
count me in on this one
nscfsu - August 9, 2009
The Angels
are not doing a good job at the plate. That will make any pitcher look stellar. Hell we made Park look stellar one time so anything is possible.
nscfsu - August 9, 2009
hmmm.
I might be agreeing with you on that one pardner
Moondoggy - August 9, 2009

HaloDutch - August 9, 2009

Big Bad, 'Vlad'! - August 9, 2009
I dont undertsand sitting Kowbell against anyone

HaloDutch - August 9, 2009
And what's even worse
Is Q is the replacement. I mean if it were someone decent then maybe that’s acceptable but come on, it’s Q.
nscfsu - August 9, 2009
he had two games in row of 3 and 4 hits, then Sosh benches him. I mean really, WTF?
Big Bad, 'Vlad'! - August 9, 2009
Let's Go Angels!

Start the rally now
nscfsu - August 9, 2009
three errors today!
JoseGuillenSux - August 9, 2009
it should be 4
but they counted the 1st base incident as a hit
princeton11loveshalos - August 9, 2009
5 with GMJ looking like a ballerina in CF
JoseGuillenSux - August 9, 2009
those are just the recorded ones
GMJ’s f’up in center, Mathis shitty pitch out throw
Moondoggy - August 9, 2009
3 official errors
Mattews great route, and nice job throwing out the runner on a pitchout Mathis. Has he ever thrown a runner out on a pitch out?
Big Bad, 'Vlad'! - August 9, 2009
yeah it was a t ball game

Good Oliver or Bad Oliver
HaloDutch - August 9, 2009

The Furious Bat of Howie47 - August 9, 2009
I think it was that movie
Something About Vlade
Moondoggy - August 9, 2009
Mathis, Q, GMJ and Speier all went out to dinner one night and decided
that it should be played. Blame them!
MH252525 - August 9, 2009
Third that
Makes me mad even from 3,000 miles away
mattwelch - August 9, 2009
and worst of all
you never call Baby when you say you will

JoseGuillenSux - August 9, 2009

dr-awkward - August 9, 2009
he has a 4-0 lead Bobby, wth you expecting with 3 balls?
MH252525 - August 9, 2009
God
this is just downright depressing. Striking out looking? Really?
nscfsu - August 9, 2009
Bobby
takes strike 3 and Vlad swings at Ball1
Rev Halofan - August 9, 2009
Does Holland look like a 13 year old on TV too?
UCIHalo - August 9, 2009

good Vlad
HaloDutch - August 9, 2009
Well Matt
Vlad certainly has made you look right since he returned.
nscfsu - August 9, 2009
His outs have been hit hard, too
mattwelch - August 9, 2009
horrible
salmonforever - August 9, 2009
This boy is throwing a lot of strikes
UCIHalo - August 9, 2009
oof
ZiK - August 9, 2009
I haven't seen the games being here in Fresno
but that’s what I take from the gametracker which says all of his outs have been line drives.
nscfsu - August 9, 2009
Jesus hope he didnt hurt himself whiffing so hard
HaloDutch - August 9, 2009
flyout to rf Howie
you know you want to
MH252525 - August 9, 2009
Holland does look like a teenager
JoseGuillenSux - August 9, 2009
a teenager who's kicking our ass
HaloDutch - August 9, 2009
and his necklace looks like it was made by his sophomore girlfriend
Moondoggy - August 9, 2009
change change slider.......
done.
norcaliangelsfan - August 9, 2009
If this boy is so good why is his ERA north of 5
UCIHalo - August 9, 2009
Arlington
Rev Halofan - August 9, 2009
does that explain the 4-7 record?
Moondoggy - August 9, 2009
but his ONLY good start on the road
was at SF, and 2 of his more recent road starts, the Royals and A’s have hit him hard
MH252525 - August 9, 2009
HAHAHA Howie was hoping his mind would swing for him!!!
PATHETIC!!! take 3 straight fastballs for strikes, not gonna give you more playing time!!
FanStrong - August 9, 2009
The Angels
are not doing a good job at the plate. That will make any pitcher look stellar. Hell we made Park look stellar one time so anything is possible.
nscfsu - August 9, 2009
Ok...based on Juan's last swing...I'm done with this game, I hope we pull it out
but I will not be watching…good day to everyone, we’ll get em next time
The Furious Bat of Howie47 - August 9, 2009

Moondoggy - August 9, 2009

angelsfan777 - August 9, 2009
Damn this is embarassing
JoseGuillenSux - August 9, 2009
LOL
this ump blows
norcaliangelsfan - August 9, 2009
Uh, those last 2 were not strikes
chairmanofthebar - August 9, 2009

FanStrong - August 9, 2009
Holland is dealing can't take that away from him
Let’s still beat him though
Oh yeah roll call
highlandhalo - August 9, 2009
This is killing my fantasy team,
I have Torri, Vlad, Jaun, Naps, K-MO, and Kendrick filling in
Big Bad, 'Vlad'! - August 9, 2009
Wow... I hope you are playing in a Team League
That is way too many players from one team to have on a fantasy team!
FanStrong - August 9, 2009
It's cool
I was getting tired of winning the division in early September. We need a good division race so WHEN we win we’ll be ready for the playoffs.
UCIHalo - August 9, 2009
Ump just wants to get this one over with
so he can get to whiffing his way down the bat skank ladder
HaloDutch - August 9, 2009
Three K's
Two looking in that inning. Not the way to come back when you are down four.
nscfsu - August 9, 2009
Seems like it's been awhile since we have DFA'd anyone
UCIHalo - August 9, 2009
Speier needs to be DFA'd

Damn Taylor Teabagger!
HALO N BRIMSTONE - August 9, 2009

HaloDutch - August 9, 2009

mjhsieh - August 9, 2009
Hey Soth why don't you bring in your scrubs now that the game is over
you know that Mike Napoli guy and some Cuban. They might be worth taking a look at, now that the game is over now…..
MH252525 - August 9, 2009
I've heard the reinforcements are on the way: RC Quakes.
HALO N BRIMSTONE - August 9, 2009
yeah
it might be worth it to get Naps and K-Mo some at bats since we need to play Q and Mathis so often.
nscfsu - August 9, 2009
hey! it's jose!
long time no see buddy
ZiK - August 9, 2009
I wish
someone in our bullpen could come in to the game and keep the damn lead at what it was when they entered. How many times in a row is the lead going to get bigger?
nscfsu - August 9, 2009
Don't know why we lose so often to these guys.
Even years prior.
chairmanofthebar - August 9, 2009
might have something to do with the lineup Soth rolls out there
or more fittingly “deposits” on the field
HaloDutch - August 9, 2009
Because of all the Texas offense hype,
their team BA is .255, it’s a connondrum.
HALO N BRIMSTONE - August 9, 2009
welcome back jose
JoseGuillenSux - August 9, 2009
We can learn from the Blue Jays...
They put Rios on waivers in hopes to get rid of his insane contract… We should do the same with GMJ
FanStrong - August 9, 2009
Arre 51 back on the mound
HaloDutch - August 9, 2009
How does Arredondo go from throwing 98 to 92 in one offseason?
Wonder what his offseason was like.
MH252525 - August 9, 2009
And it looks like he is trying to throw hard too!!!
and topping out at 93
FanStrong - August 9, 2009

by the Big A’s early light
HALO N BRIMSTONE - August 9, 2009
DFA Q
what the heck does he do
MH252525 - August 9, 2009
He's a left hitting specialist according to Soth
Ironically college playing levels don’t always bode well in the Bigs
HALO N BRIMSTONE - August 9, 2009
Power threat up next:
Q
HALO N BRIMSTONE - August 9, 2009
Down by 6 and swinging at the first pitch!
You really are a piece of shit Quinlan!

Good ole' Q!!

Alright Q Matthews and Mathis!!
Yeah!! quickest inning in baseball!
angelskid2210 - August 9, 2009
From one POS to another
Q followed by GMJ… Fucking spectacular lineup SOTH!!!
FanStrong - August 9, 2009
Mathis career batting average is 196
UCIHalo - August 9, 2009
holy baby jesus batman!
mathis got a hit
JoseGuillenSux - August 9, 2009
Mathis gets a hit
to ensure his place in the lineup through 2013
Rev Halofan - August 9, 2009
(weeps bitterly)
HaloDutch - August 9, 2009
Carlos Ramirez could come up here and do better than him.
He has like a 500 OBP in Orem and the AB’s he put forth in the CWS showed better plate discipline than anything Mathis has ever showed.
MH252525 - August 9, 2009
I feel bad for Conger, Wilson, Ramirez
they all have to sit there and question how good they really are because Mathis is playing ahead of them.
angelskid2210 - August 9, 2009
huh. Mathis singles. well, even a broken clock gets it right twice a dayq
HaloDutch - August 9, 2009
Getting shutout by this cocksucker is not acceptable
highlandhalo - August 9, 2009
But this is the sweet gem the Rangers refused to part with in the Holiday deal
UCIHalo - August 9, 2009
Still ... let's fuck up his shutout
highlandhalo - August 9, 2009
So when Rory said that the Angels got their first hit today

UCIHalo - August 9, 2009

no
Moondoggy - August 9, 2009
in order to maintain my image of Mike Scioscia
I am going to convince myself that he wanted to loose this game and or force Reagins hand in DFA someone
UCIHalo - August 9, 2009
best case scenario
he wanted to give Q one more taste of the high life before he gets DFA’d
MH252525 - August 9, 2009
I see alot of green
