let's do this thing called WINNING!!
Slingbox is the best

being able to watch TV while keeping my 19th month old watching Barney for a bit is awesome, man I love that thing, actually of thinking of getting another one

Roll call. Time to turn this one around, Halos.
Heh. Now I KNOW we'll win.
Rats, 1 down.

Let’s go, Izzy.

can we get a rally
there is your start
cause i asked for it

now finish it Vlad

Aybar with a clean liner single to center
It's a trap!
You two have clearly been spending too much time together
It's always a trap.
Abreu with a clean liner single to left
YEAH! CHUPA HIT!
hope they groove one on the first pitch
i'm holding my breath

what is vlad going to do this time? please be good vlad!!

Lord please give Vlad some patience for one at-bat...
Now would be an awesome time to put one over the fence, Vlad.
Another broken bat....

but it got the job done.

I hate broken bats.
Vlad has had to many lately...

not getting around on the inside pitch.

An awful lot of broken-bat hits end as outs at first.
Ok, we'll take that.
Vlad with a clean liner single to center
Lewin had a rehearsed call for a groundout there

not meant to be, bitch

See that

“Poof” of something when he hits the ball?

Teh VLAD!

Keep it goin’, Torii!

Dear Torii,

Keep this going. No DP. Prefferably a hit.

Sincerely,
Figgi4life

PS dont do that.
Do what?

Get a hit? :)

That works.
Fox 11 SUCKS. Really don't love the yellow screen.
win #11 for palmer?

yaay for palmer’s offensive mojo!!

Evans on the bases.
WOOOHOOOO
Did Quentin fly out to center?
You gotta send Bobby there

Quentin has a rag arm

agree on the piss poor arm
They did
Hunter with a clean liner single to left
If I was a White Sox fan

I’d be pretty pissed at the location of that 0-2 pitch

3 - 2 pitching change

Johnny Rivers facing Redneck Whitebeard

i just saw

mike napoli and his high socks standing on deck with a bat in his hands..

I'm busting out the Rally Fox

Gogogogogo.

Dead Juan,

Please tie this up. A single. That’s it. No DP.

Sincerely,
Figgi4life

dear Figgy4life

I sucked on that one.
Juan

thanks for letting the genie out of that bottle
Juan's not dead, is he?
Juan Riviera you piece of Shit
Oh how I love Rivera.
Juan Rivera bigtime suckage

t e r r i b l e DP

JR f'd that up. F'd it up good.
The worse thing is I told myself that was going to happen.

You Bastard!

Juan Rivera with

2 GIDPs

Whee

Your lucky tour replacement is GMJ
Alright, that sucked, but it's okay.

We got two.

...Crud.

Gotta hold ’em. Send in Jepsen!

Palmer can hold them too.
Nah, leave Palmer out there.

His magic is working.

on the first effin pitch
vladdy influance
Nah. Common strategy vs a reliever.

They’re throwing a first pitch fastball to try and get the range, so you jump on it.

Typo:

*So you roll over on it

Well, that is also a possibility, yes.
If the game ended now,

It’d be a tight BOTG race between Rivers and Abreu

3 more outs, Matt.
Hey George Washington,

Grow a REAL beard

What?
Jenks
Yeah, but I don't remember ever seeing George with a beard.
YOu mean Uncle Sam.
Yes I did

Don’t know what the he’ll was wrong with me lol

You know for all that Matt Palmer is lucky to be 10-1

which obviously luck is a huge part of that record. He has a dang good shot of having a season ERA under 4. Well done Matt!

DP right here please
Oops. Come on, Matt, DP.
Get the DP Matt.
Quentin sticks his arms out a little
Right. One more.
Double play written all over it , with rivera at bat ....

I could predict that 10 out of 10 /

Honestly rather woulda had GMJ

Up there

???

Dude if you’re serious, I don’t know what to tell you other than that’s moronic, and very thankful Soth is in charge

Haha

Sarcasm

Ah. Nevermind then.

Sorry.

I think you might be alone on that one
8th inning the other night a dinger w a man on. did you predict that?
put up or shut up ed

lottery numbers NOW or stuff a sock in your crystal ball.

I think Rios misses the great white north
He no longer is able to derive power from Tim Hortons coffee
I want a K
Your wish is granted.
Eddings excited
Forget about the baserunner, Matt.
Good Palmer. We can win this now.
Palmer has nice movement on his fastball.
Sit DOWN.

Great pitch there.

play of the game coming up for UCLA

3rd and goal up by 6 late in the 4th

4th down Tenn

has to go for it with only 2:15 left

UCLA holds

1st and 10 from their like 2

SBN has a Bruins blog

thanks.

I want that WiFi toy for my car.
Juice in for Bobby? Really?
RISP-a-lot in. Watch him make me pay for my comment about not wanting him up.
THAT pitch was HIGH.
so is eddings

and probably rex too..

Wow, ump screwed Juice on that one.
Doug Eddings.

Should have seen the pitch he called Morales on last inning. I shit you not, 8 inches outside.

NOT A STRIKE EDDINGS YOU DOUCHE.
Geez, Jenks' beard makes him look like a goat.
let's hope he is

the goat!

here comes the shadow

creeping toward home plate

That doesn't help us, does it.
make up for strike 1
He didn't call that one lol
he called that a strike all game

finally called it right

That one wasn't even close

(The pitch outside) that was a strike

yea gamecast shows it WAY outside too
Haha,

Zu :P

Hey. Nice BB for GMJ.
leadoff walk gmjhgh
...Wow.

Way to go, Gary. O_O

walk off ding dong time
Sock it to 'em K-Mo.
Like I said. Totally kharma for ragging on him earlier.
same happened to me

you see that hit Q got? scorcher!

We should probably try ragging on Kowbell.
I'd say he's doing just fine without it
Settle down, Kendry.
A high fly to right should carry out for a HR right now.
Game winning Bomba!

but even a triple’s okay

anything that scores us a run is ok.
Can you feel the Abomb from bam bam
Just shut up now, please?
mockery, please

allow him to look even more foolish

you predicted wrong

when you did predict

shit. the shadow is right on home plate.
once the ball reaches the shadow

the hitter has already decided what to do with it..

WHOOOOOOOO
Perfect hit and run.
corners

no out

S O T H B A L L ftw

Maicer, your mission: GET THAT RUN HOME.
We're in business...
Maicer has been popping up a lot here in these situations

I’m not feeling that though this time

The 3-3 game yesterday has done wonderful things for my confidence in him.
opposite field double
don't push it

miss clio

Ya know,you're really annoying.
That works
that was a ball but we will take the SF
Walk doesn't help a whole lot.

Just lets them have a force at the plate. I’d WAY rather have the deep fly ball.

I want to meet the chick that finds Jenks goatee attractive
No, you don't. Not unless you're that unattractive and have a shitload of money.
it's not a chick man

it’s T-Bag from Prison Break

jeebus

i’m gonna pee in my pants…

Great throw by Quentin
Figginsnot so much
screw my fantasy team! make Jenks cry!!
aybar - you can be the hero again
Indeed.

Come on, Admiral, keep the inning alive.

Extras
Left side of the infield fail
Come on Rally Fox gogo!
It's a monkey. The monkey works, so let's stick with it.
Whoo!

Free baseball!

Well crap, Aybar swinging at the first pitch.
So Palmer for another inning, or go with someone else?
Palmer at 29 pitches.
......

I’m nervous….

"Don't be nervous, Phyzz, this is what we DO."
Ooooooooooooooo. Fuentes in.
hmm..

fuentes in a tie game? i never like seeing the closer pitch in a non-save situation..

ok... our win % goes down

dinosaur man in…

typical fuentes

Lets see how fast Brian can get us this loss.

Im guessing two batters.

you lose

FFFFFFFFFFFF

oh well

Go Jespen

Are they fooing or booing????
Oh for...

Come on, Fuentesaurus.

*deep breaths
POSITIVE THINKING!
I am positive that fuentes stinks right now. and I say right now.
on the bright side...

he didn’t hit a couple batters to get them on base… yet

this guy won't be

playoff ready…

F man needs some Ks now.
Someone go out there and give him a slap
Dear Brian,

I want 0 runs this outing. 0. And I vote Fuentes4Panther.

Sincerely,
Figgi4life

Pull him now

dude is a head case

Well Fuentes, I hope you're pulling a K-Rod here.
K-Rods insane K/9 rates were a thing of beauty.
Let me kick your dinosaur gonads

You blow ( since the ASB )

please give me a DP. Please.

Fuentes literally blows
we need a K here

Bulger and or Jepsen get a lot more K’s

nice torriiiiii now we need a Dubs-play
That's one.

Get the DP.

smart move, soth

Now get two more.
BBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
WTF is with AJs hair? He get into a fight with bleach and LOSE??
JEPSEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And Fuentes is out of the game.
have we see a switch in roles
Crap. I hate Fox. It just went straight to the ad.
Zeus descending from the heavens to SMITE these fools.
OK PsyKo.

Get that DP.

stupid FOX replay

two windows – one long shot on a shrunken screen to accomodate the other shot that is in the shadow so dark that it is impossible to tell what is happening – so you have a blackscreen and players looking smaller than ants.

This one is better than Fuentesaurus.

You can throw better than that, right?
I sure hope I will.

Mark this day down

As the day Sosh took out his closer in the middle of an inning in which he had not given up a run

That's no first.

Non save situation you know.

and he says he doesn't look at standings... yeah right.
funny sears commerical w/farve not being able to make a decision
Was that Favre? I wasn't paying a lot of attention.
Fuentes must kill the morale in the Clubhouse

he takes more wins away from people than anyone I know…

how many piss-poor closers are you friends with?

Yeah, all those.... wait, doesn't he have something like 40 saves?

yes, and yet he is still terrible. his luck streak seems to have run its course

Dear Kevin,

Get an Old Man River to GIDP.

Sincerely,
Figgi4life

Dear Mr. Jetson, smoke this chump
...Mathis?
Napoli remember?
I was saying

“Maybe Mathis gets that…? But then I saw the replay”

Annnnnnnnnnnnd thats it
Not yet. We're at home, remember?
Failing on the National Stage is what the Angels do.

Im just kinda used to it.

Right.

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

of course............

well, that was not very good at all.

Soth looked pissed
BOTG Fuentes
For not shutting the door when called upon
We haven't lost yet
I'm just getting my fuentes anger out now lol
Scioscia pulling too many levers
Geez, there's no pleasing you.
Well

That scores him anyway

And there is Scioscia's

justification for playing Mathis

I doubt Mathis gets that
Hey people--WE HAVEN'T LOST YET.
core of the order coming up
i know look at the last 2 innings

people need to calm down

That's three--Mark it

3 times we have said the same thing today.

yeah, but it makes it a lot easier to win when we only need to score 1

Pussednik runs like a girl1
2 down.

Just get 1 more, kid.

so fuentes is in line for the loss?
yep!

but we’ll get Jepsen the win

This is not The Soth's fault

Fuentes gave up a lead-off double to a lefty hitter.

I hate intentional walks
We can score here.

No problem.

Good job, now let's get 'em.
checking in......

and I had written this game off.

But... but... ... Angels Baseball!
was it a passed ball or wild pitch?
WP, according to GD.
Wild pitch,

It better have been. WAY outside.

And out of it.

I’d really like to have seen Jepsen in from the beginning. Ah well. Need 1 to tie, 2 to win Halos.

haha... this thread reminds of the one

that rev posted of the lonestar ball breakdown… not quite as bad though…

i doubt any of us are spitting chewing tobacco at the screen while we type

What, people freaking out for no reason and acting like the world is coming to an end?

I can’t imagine who in this thread you could be referring to … >_>

The Tyrant Lizard needs a long breather to regain his mojo
Abreu

Make up time right here.

so who is

going to hit in vlad’s spot? terry evans pinch ran for him..

up
Well Reggie is our best bunter

so…good call

But why have Reggie up with no one on

orrrr did he know Booby was going tog et on?

He knew.

Of course Bobby would get on. :-) It’s what he does.

I thought Evans stayed in as DH?
You could always leave Evans in.
Abrew! Abrew! Abrew!
Bunt time!
yup - he better do it right
Right to the first baseman.
hmm..

i wonder what reggie is going to do here?

Weggie
reggie jackson. we need you.
On base.

Let’s DO THIS.

good start......but can reggie do it?
just go for the W

and call a hit and run

His bunts are SO PRETTY
Shadow Bunting

Willits as Andy Gibb

Hula Dula the Pale Hose ruin'a!
haha, didn't see that one coming

nice bunt reggie!

didn't see it happneing

because of Fox National’s shitty cameras

Reggie does his job
Excellent!

Bring him home, Torii!

Yup, don't want to leave it to Rivera...

…well, not today, anyway

"BASEBALL MAKES ME CRANKY."

—Missus Halofan

Haha.

So true

Hey look,

The Angels got one of these commercials.

yup - it's pretty cool too
Are you watching Fox?
Brady Bunch Rally Monkey time!!!!
thats a cool commerical, except for fizz
Bad ending

Beyond devotion is sorta lame

Food for thought:

Knowing that Rivera has GDP’d twice, do you walk Hunter to get to him?

THat's not the optimism I was looking for
general rule you don't put the winning run on base

so I doubt it, but I can see why he’d be tempted

Also don't bring in a reliever and force him to throw four balls.
No way.

3 run bomb from JR if you try that.

Also why bring in the new pitcher in that case?
Torii, I love you and I know you can get this done.

Now get out there and ruin their birthday.

that was an AWESOME commercial

doing it for #34, all october long!

World series in November...crazy
Lewin loves pointing out the Angels have hit nothing but singles.
Are they trying

To make money off Adenhart’s death?

that was chuck richter

and foiled.

Rally Monkey power
Dear Torii,

Get a hit. Make something happen.

Sincerely,
Figgi4life

seriously tho

every single one of these has failed today..

has this ever worked?

sorry, I’m superstitious

Shit

come on Juan……………..

let's do it Juan
Nuts.

Redemption time, Rivers.

Rivera

PLEASE.

Fitting that Juan is batting
No one to DP this time.

Guess you’ll just have to win it.

3 2 1 Blastoff Johnny Angel
why did you swing at that
Just get a hit and we can tie it back up
Don't be the goat, Juan.
Give the Cuban

Some credit

Chops it by the mound...!

1st and 3rd!

Napoli

make up for that shit behind the plate AT the plate, Mke

that curve was like a foot and a half outside
???

That was ridiculously outside

not sure how that was Naps fault
Time for a power nap.
Nap-oh-lee, Nap-oh-lee, Nap-oh-lee!
Kdjdbdjeifkdjsbsvsbsjsjsksksk
Grounded to 2nd. :(

Baseball makes me cranky sometimes too, Rev’s wife.

FUENTES you blew this one
Alexi saves the game for the ChiSox
whats with the firs pitching swinging!!
Nice work cheering on the Rangers, Josh

Good to hear you’re always on the job.

fuck-a-doodle-do
how many

1st pitch swings were there today?

thanks, fuentes

NAPOLI 1ST PITCH, ASSININE!
That's what I was thinking..

And anyone who has more than T-ball experience in baseball.

BOTG

Rivera..

Fuentes
i still think its Rivera

very unclutch.. most closers suck in non-save situations anyway..

fuentes sucks in all situations

Fuentes didn't shut the door whether it is tied or not

his job is to shut the door, he didn’t do that and I think he might be done….(hoping)

Mathis

for being such a crappy catcher that he had to be replaced

another series win......

keep em coming fellas……I’ll take 2 of 3 everytime/

jumping the gun just a bit man
ha......

yeah I am…..damn I thought today was sunday.

my bad.

I often have a hard time telling one day from the next.

Especially after a 3 day bender.

Why the hell do we make the white sox look....

Like contenders almost EVERY TIME WE PLAY THEM!!!! Nobody was clutch enough today.

....not close for this team anymore!
