Johnny LaRue needs to get on base somehow
he does
HE DID

good eye following a good glove!

Nice walk, Rivers.
Chris Petit in as a Pinch Runner
Chris Pettit in at PR. Interesting.
Quentin flied out
Aybar needs to single

and ChrisP needs to go 1st-to-3rd

popup sucketh

Bad Aybar

aybar once again

showing that he should never be expected to move the runner over

Juice in to bat?
he's significantly better than Mathis

so I ain’t complaining

it's still like trading in a Gremlin for a Chevette
GMJ

batting for Mathis

Checkin in

GO JUICE

When GMJ was announced, did the crowd cheer?
i have good vibes on this at bat

but petit needs to steal

good vibes on a GMJ ab?

maybe the signals are getting scrambled being 3500 miles away?

i felt sometthing
I used to get more feeling than I do now

but then I got married and so maybe only watch 1/3 of the games not in fast forward. I really think to get vibes you gotta watch all the games which I know you do

and your vibes were correct sir

well done! I’ll take a walk any day

it's the only "me time" i am allowed

but my second son is due any day now, so i’ll soon be back to watching replays at odd hours of the night

OJ!
I'd like it if the O'Jays sang the National Anthem
Yes?
GMJ=juice=OJ (orange juice)
=Simpson=Running back=criminal=jail=jailbreak......
That guy from Naked Gun.
I Love Playin' the SKANKS
me too...

this feels like a friggin playoff game…

Did figgins start a trend

By having his right foot open when taking leads?

Where the hell is Wood?

He has been up for two weeks and we have not seen him once.

SOSH is trying very hard not to get him hurt ......
homeboy doesnt have speed...

as much as chrisy p.

takin' pitches

Maffoose

hit and runneth
Feel like I've seen gmj whiff too much
they are gonna turn figgy around
turn him into a what .....6'5 270 ?
Juice walks, nice.

Let’s go Figgs.

Heh.

Nice dive, petit

This would be an excellent game to win
Yes, I think it would.
But that would force ESPN to show re-runs of Gilligan's Island

In hopes of distracting the masses.

plus the Pats are losing to the Bills

that wont help either.

really?

awesome.

yeah 17-10 2 min to go in the 3rd
But Brett Favre's back!!

Didn’t you see? He’s not retired again!!!

Figgy gonna get turned around

Lefty Pitcher … maybe bring in Wood to face the Lefty?

Maybe androids dream of electric boogaloo?
Pettit mashed lefties better than Wood in AAA

I’d like to see him get some abs!

Maybe green pigs fly over a blue moon?
3-2 Rory, way to keep track.
Haha. We heard that too.
that Rory, he's no fizz
rory is the worst with that kind of stuff...
Phil Coke replaces Phil Coke according to gameday
same thing happened in July
Time to crash this party Angels!
Figgy's been clutch all year
GMJ pinch-hitting for Mathis

Doesn’t that say something about what Scioscia thinks of Napoli’s bat lately?

atta boy figs..........

make him pitch to you.

Low, much?
bullshit call on that 3rd pitch
not just low, but he missed his spot by almost a foot
BOOOOO
Crap call that was ball 3!
figgy's been getting bad calls all night...
Lightning strikes 2wice
swing the BAT

you know he’s gonna call it

unfuckingconsciounable

3 Ks were SHIT

Count should be 5-0 now
Gotta swing the bat is he's called it there before, Figgs.
3 balls in a row Figgens got screwed
BOOOOO
BS called 3rd strike
Nevah Nevah Take a Close Pitch
time for MICE TITS

to shine

it BS too because Weaver hasnt been getting that call at all...
The last two were strikes

The 2-0 pitch was low.

Overhead reply on strike three showed no plate
It looked pretty good

After the previous two pitches, I don’t know how he could take it.

Agree with the philosophy, but ump still ganked
1st pitch against Maicer

Is a strike against Figgins

pitching around the rodent nipples

to get to Slobreu

Careful Our SLOTH is a Dangerous Sloth !
We Cooooh ! We Coooooh !
3-0 to Izzy. Green light?
WHERE WAS THAT THIRD ONE???
magic changing strike zone
now its not a strike to mice tits
Darrel Cousins needs to get fired...

some consistancy ump!

all umps need to get fired

I could find a whole slew of robots that could do a better job and not require a 401k

Tim Donaghy

behind the plate

The ump has decided that some guys walk and some guys don't
Full count....

Send ’em

See Figgy...

THATS how you foul a close pitch.

Little farther left, Izzy.
french judge getting ready

to call anything a strike

Here Titty TItty Titty
11 pitches so far by Coke to Fig and Mice. All fastballs.
Cause Jeter's the greatest everything ever.
wow

was maicer walking down the line?

Seriously

I can’t believe there was even a play at 1st base, much less that he got him relatively easily.

UGH.

Why did you slide, Izzy?

That play

Will be #1 web gem. Aybar makes that, not on the list.

well Aybar makes that play in his sleep

I counted, Jeter only went 3 steps and barely got it. His lateral range is shit.

looked like he was carrying a piano
yea I know

it was 3 steps and it wasn’t even smashed.

It sucks because it's true.
thats not true...

Aybar appears on web gems frequently…

compared to Jeter

he is an asterisk in plaudits despite being the greater of the two defensively this year by far.

Run through it

Don’t dive!

izturis

from the school of sliding into first

well...nice play...

have you give it up to jarhead and uhaul on that one….

really i was just kidding
homo shortstop, (not thats there anything wrong w/that)
sounds like you do have a problem with that
yeah, out of all the negative words you could use you pick one like that...

wack.

Kate Smith. Another person who died.
Abe Vigoda...

STILL ALIVE!

Jim Carroll, Roll Call.
I was wondering if someone would catch it.
Kate Smith still alive ?
You just get home?
weaver looked crazy
Why'd we stay for the 7th inning stretch?
Playin' the Skanks Just Doesn't Bother Me

No Stress….Only Joy Watching how the SKANKS struggle no matter what the score.

that was a sick play by Jeter
he made it look FAR more difficult than it was
walk

bad at bat

walk

umpire aided bad at bat

web gem for the mvp

so.......Oak is up on Tex for those who care.
OK all you Jeter haters out there

That was a hell of a good play. Sometimes you gotta tip the cap to the opposition.

for real...

i still hate his stupid haircut though…

But we don't have to like it, though, right?
nope.

i hate it too. still a good play.

it was a nice play FOR HIM

Jose Reyes, Aybar, MacDonald all make it look 10x easier

10x easier...?

u crazeee

yea not 10x but if that ball was hit to MacDonald he makes

that play and you wouldn’t even be thinking it was that hard of a play. Have you seen his lateral range? If he could hit just a bit he’d be an All-Star

if it was May i would say great play
and then make some homophone comment?

i kid…

geez i sorry
kidding...

no worries… i had to say it once.

would it help if i told you i was rooting for Kevin to win on Big Brother?
What did gameday say

About figgins’ AB?

im watching YES network...

and the replay showed that the third pitch was clearly outside.

It was clearly outside when they showed it live!!
That's what we saw with our eyes. Gameday needs calibration re: Figgy.
gameday showed the last strike as one the line of the strike zone. Barely.
FLASHBACKS MAN FLASHBACKS !!

Squatting Patriots are playing Buffalos

So now that Patrick Swayze is a REAL ghost

any chance he takes the subway in New York for a booty call at Kate Smith’s?

You Believe in Ghosts????
theoretical discussion
too soon
now we can only communicate with him through Whoopi...
Or Nancy
and who will rob our banks...

and then go surfing?

perhaps his only good movie
actually...The Beast was a decent show...

not a film but you know…

We're doin' this for Johnny!!

Figure that one out.

that's some scary kitty
Have you seen a photo of Kate?
Hey, Bobby Wilson sure is a fatty!
Weaver is pisssssssssed.....

ooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooo

Mr opiejeanne just left to pick up Chinese, he's so annoyed.
thats my favorite Weaver...

when hes all emotional and pissed.

Nice hat Jered
Jered's pitched a good game, get the damn lead, Halos.
Yeah, real responsible burning about a billion lightbulbs for the BMW ad.
who should they be responsible to?
Maybe you haven't seen the ad, but it's about how Americans are looking for new ways to be responsible.
Which makes no sense even without all the pretty lightbulbs.
I'm sure Americans want German companies telling them what to do
Think he was getting at the point that...

They’re “saving energy” but then light up hundreds of light bulbs….not really coming off green friendly lol.

i am wearing red

fuck green

they were powered by the hamster wheels in the kia commercial
That was a funny ad, the first six thousand times.
It makes the cars look really purty, but there may be more than a thousand

incandescent bulbs in that ad.

I hope they donated them to a school or something after they shot that.

Also,

Terrible throw.

Someone spread the news about Swayze in the Halos dugout...

it might motivate them.

Patrick Swayze died today??

That’s too bad but expected….

Is Jered finished for tonight?
He's at 102 pitches and his next start is against the Rangers.

So Mike might want to pull him.

I hadn't been keeping track. Thanks.
Still think Izzy might have made it

If he just ran instead of trying to dive.

Guess that is only a strike against Figgy with runners on base
Poppa Chubby at the plate
lot of SB for that nickname
Poppa Chubby

Up tha Middle

Bobby KNEW

That was outside

A-BREEW...

in the words of Rory…

MONKEY MONKEY

let’s do this!

Alright, lead off man on

Let’s go heart of lineup!

All right Barbapapa! Nice hit.
Again with the first ball hacking
Such a entertaining game
Big Bad comin' up HUGE in this game.
BOOOO

1st pitch swing

It worked, I don't care.
Why is Abreu always laughing his ass off at whatever base he is at...

hes like a comedian once on the basepath…

A lot of the Angels do that.
Good job boys

Let’s get them home!

i log on and theres a 2 on no out rally?

just sayin

Torii time

Santana has his personal catcher, Vlad has his personal pinch runner

make up time for Torii
Vlad

Don’t swing at the 1st pitch
All right! Be aggressive!

the pitch was outsdie too...

and he still pulls it that far…

Also,

Has any HHers been on TV?

oh yeah
Moondoggy?
Moondoggy and his crew got GENREROUS FSNWest time

in the 2nd or 3rd inning

3 run shot to left.....
Hey Ho, Let's Go

Let’s have some Blitzkrieg Bopping

i came in late has that Angel fan been behind the plate the whole night?

holy crap, I’m nervous…

Send the runners
here comes the curve...

watch for it torii…

WHOOOO
This would be a marvelous game to win
GOOD EYE

god thats cliche

Kendrick grabbed a bat
Bases are GMJed

Juiced.

Nice walk, Torii.

I’ve got a fever.

Slam Time K-Mo

make the first one of the season count

good f'ing eye

great AB by Torii

Another great at-bat

Bobby had a fantastic at-bat, Vlad did his thing, and then what a great at-bat by Torii. Things are looking up for us!

Hughes called off the curve...for that ball 4 fastball.
Very helpful for the playoffs to get all up in Hughes' head
BAM BAM McKowbell

do it!

the last angels Grand Slam

was hit in yankees stadium by a 1Bman.. just saying..

what have we not done & everyone eles has(dont say it)
an A BOMB from BAM BAM
The PERFECT Stadium for a Granny !
cmon Kowbell.

you know what we want.

Good time for that elusive GS
Remember when Tex hit a GS for us in a situation like this last year for us

hopefully K-Mo can do the same

that was awesome

to bad we ended up losing that game

Time to clear the bases
Be patient and wait for your pitch, Kowbell.
no grandslams yet this year
NoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNo
That works I guess
we score

Kowbell unclutch though…

How do you get nearly 100 RBI and not be clutch?
not clutch on that one...
He has been unclutch tonight

But obviously massively clutch for the season.

assuming the concept of clutch exists
It's a question of when you get them.

See Rodriguez, Alex

ARGH. Tied up, but STILL.
eh, tie game at least..

get the other run in Rivera..

Rivera out already for Pettit, HK in.
yeah, i totally forgot about that..
Argh.

Double plays have been coming at the wrong, wrong times.

crap

well, at least we tie it

Get that lead, Howie.
just get the lead .......
i leave for a sec to put laundry in

and the bases loaded no outs?

in that case

you should’ve taken a little longer to do laundry..

so if its good for the playoffs to get into Hughes head...

is it bad for Kowbell to f-up in a clutch situation?

nah hitters are used to failing
Nah

Stone cold Cuban.

Damn, and Patrick Swayze is dead
oh..

howie’s hitting for wilson right?

This is Soooooo COOL
lol...

keep it positive don juan….as usual.

hey what was your old screen name btw?

Guby is the blame of the inning

for mentioning the GS

wow, on the button

right at him

Tie game
tex's horse face gobbled it up
Good stroke, right at 'em
Damn, and he scorched that ball too.
Did I say SUXORZ?

Yes. Yes, I did.

Thanks.

OT: NE getting upset...
hahaha!!

this is so awesome!!

Buffalo was like +800 or something like that

crazy

Got it on the regular TV. Always nice to see someone beating the Pats.
I might have to see the end of that

I hate everything from Boston

I have Pats D on my fantasy team.

Who knew?

H2H

and TO is on the other guys FF team :)

FUUUUUXK

I got to go soon! Hotel closing!

Hold em

Whoevers pitching

Glad to see it's Weave
Jered holdin' out for that W.
wow

weaver really wants the win here.. hopefully he’s ready to go against texas this weekend..

Weave still in?

Careful Soth. His next start is in Texas.

Did sosh take opposite pills today?
Weaver local boy born and raise in Northridge and went to my Alma mater too

CSULB

Along with

Tulo, Bobby Crosby, Jason Vargas, Jason Giambi…and…and…

Steven Speilberg
Heh.

Didn’t know him

Okay then,

Weave.

Is that fence like 240 feet away?
It's ridiculously close.
Damn

Weave was so close to the K on the previous pitch.

Leigh Teixeira's husband with a double.
Teix flirting with the cycle...
Do you walk him at this point

For a GIDP

Yeah, but k-mo is cheaper...

so take that. :|

That's a strike against

Figgins

if the catcher catches it

it’s a strike against Figgy tonight

a lil' skip for arod
OT: patrick swayze died.
he flew out to center
my grandfather is too
And Jim Carroll

Show some love for the east coast!

Weave is PISSED

I like it.

that 11th inning against boston last year in the playoffs sold me on

Weaver for good. Dude is a competitor, no doubt.

i was there

it was crazy

i have pics if anyone wants them
Weave is a great competitor
Pitch count at 112.

That’s probably enough.

Get that DP, Oliver.
God. Weaver is so pissed.

Glares at Sosh the whole time…and then right when Soth gets there looks away…

love it.

Texas Rangers getting ready to call it a season .....

as they should . Hopeless .

not after we sweep the red sox
Worry about us

We have four tough games before we play them, this one included, and we have to be able to win these kinds of games to do anything in October.

Teix is out...

see ya u-haul.

Texas losing 0-4
Feldman getting shelled
The Soth would say that doesn't matter at all
angels losing 4-3
Have a seat U-Haul
im convinced DO has something gooey under hit hat...

watch him between pitches…

Fuck Napoli
fuck figgins...

get your body in front of it.

+1000000

that was a great throw! Figgins needs to get his effing glove down!

"What's up with that Ole! shit , Dorn?!?"

Anyone, anyone…?

Yeah figs was so far away from the bag. If he didn't run back so far would of had it easy.

Throw was low and right at the sliding player….tough by solid throw

whoa there mediator ........easy
FUCKING NAPOLI!!!!!

this is the MAJOR LEAGUES! learn how to THROW!!!

I was ready to scream at Napoli too

But it was on Figgy.

Napoli is a fat sack of worthless shit.
reason why mathis plays...
That was Figgins...NOT NAPOLI....
Napoli is thinking about suicide
throw is there where is figgy
Figgy was expecting a DECENT throw
which is exactly what that was

someone didn’t have his glove down

Where he is supposed to be

straddling the bag. Naps throw was 3 feet off the bag.

Fucking shitty throw
That throw was perfect!

see the replay jerks!!!! Thats all Figgy!

i will do a poll

the throw skipped a foot on front of Figgins as far as far as I can tell

they did a side replay

and the throw went under Figgy’s glove in the air. it bounced behind him

Napoli thought it was a good throw

pumping his fist then screaming in agony….

yeah it was a tough but solid throw.
It wasn't perfect

A perfect throw would have been on the bag so he could have made the play. The throw was not there, but it went right through Figgy’s glove. I don’t know how he managed NOT to catch it.

It was low and just in front of the bag...

perfect for catch and tag. Perfect throw.

GREAT throw by Nappy

way to blow it, Figgy

I think Figgy was a little slow getting over

so him momentum didn’t allow him to move AT ALL to get that throw. Can’t blame that on Napoli. Far more on Figgy.

I have offcially given up on both of our catchers.
that was Figgy's fault...watch the replay

throw was perfect.

Throw was 3 feet off the bag. But whatever doesn't matter now.
Should have kept both the Molina brothers
Figgy was daydreaming about his next contract.
That was a CRAPPY

throw….keep Figgy….give Napali to the Yanks!!!!!!

Naps reaction seemed to me that he was pissed

at himself

I have to state the obvious

Does Napoli have lingering problems with that shoulder that he spent so much time on the DL last season with?

Turn the page

Hello boston

will probably win 1 in Boston
Figgy will sign with the Yankees.....no doubt about it . Damon is obsolete
if he gets the same strike zone they gave him tonight

they can have him

.................……………….
Game Over

Way to blow it, idiots.

if the ump doesn't call Figgy out on strikes

or K-Mo just strikes out instead of hitting into a dp then the Angels are winning the game. Jepsen comes in for the 8th and Fuentes would have blown in in the 9th. I’ll take a loss this way thank you very much

your logic is wack sometimes man...
They should have just gone with Posada
OT: Pats take the lead.
figures.......

The Bills do this to me all the time :-(

all the bills needed to do

was hold onto the ball on the kickoff, and game over..

Missed the 2 point conversion
If the Angels lose this game

Better to lose it now, rather than burn out the bullpen in a 16 inning marathon and then lose.

Well looks like Mariano is gonna give up 3 now!!
+1

keep hope alive.

That' right baby lets do this!!
Patrick Swayze still dead

and buzzards are now circling the Halos

Game isn't over

Angels have scored runs in the 9th with two outs!!! Keep the faith!!

I'm trying

But its Mariano

thanks mom.
funniest post of the night
I'm keepin the faith!

F-cuck the yanks!

In better news

7-0 oakland

At least we can now watch the Chargers stomp the Raiders
hold on, Raider fan here
doesn't change the fact

that we’re gonna watch the chargers stomp the raiders.. lmao..

Haha!

Closest thing to a hometown team Go Chargers!

No offense bro

But the Raiders are AWFUL

so what if we lose ....magic number still goes down....to 13
I think it was 15 today

If we lose and Texas loses, it would be 14.

We're in good shape

But we’re still going to have to hear yankee bullshit the rest of the night if we lose.

Haha we would hear Yankee BS whether we win or lose.
Poor Weave

Charged with both those runs

It really sucks

that Weave gets tagged not only with those runs, but also with the loss unless we come back and take this game.

Here we go

9th inning. Bottom of the order against Mariano.

Okay, maybe that throw wasnt so great...

After 6 different angles on the YES Network…still Figgy looked like a fool on it.

This is what I said

Not a very good throw, but I don’t know how Figgy missed it.

Haha how about they both sucked.
NE missed 2 pt only up by 1
Naps throw was horseshit.
Why does Napoli pump his fist?

Even if figgins catches it, not sure they get Gardner

He was toast

Got a late break.

almost positive

that if that is caught, gardner is out..

and figgys job is to catch the ball, which he did not do
Hope is slimming away....
the real way to know my wife is in labour

the angels are losing

I will remember this post forever.

Gives me an idea of who you are.

nearly 3 years ago

same scenario, angels lose a close one late … and my son was born 4 hours later.
i think this one is still 8 hours away

And now I add another kid into who you are

:)

is this the part where we flap our arms?
GMJ is doing his part...lol
Physioc

Loves Mariano’s body.

Argh

We needed this win.

What happened in the NE game?

Two touchdowns in the final four minutes?

there were down by 11 like 30 seconds ago
edwards sacked game over
They suddenly realized they were Bills

and choked

thats 3 MNF games in a row they've had the lead

and then lost in the final seconds……….

$10 million man needs to earn his pay
Ha. Like that'll ever happen
Joba and his "starts"
hahaha wow bills
ANybody know why Jepsen didn't come in, in the 8th?
Two Lefties?
Well Weaver started the inning so I figured why not Jepsen
Because obviously Weave wanted the ball

And he had enough left to start the inning.

matsui was coming up

and he’s a lefty..

prolly because he's pitched a decent amount recently
Haha that was a strike
If Mo throws it in the stands will the Ump call a strike?
guess not
but ya still have to ask

lol.. Suzy Colbert FAL…

funny
lol

she’s failing to catch up… and Brady says " I’m going in… bye.."

Tom Brady is a jerk

:P

Whoo figgins
Wow...

Momentum Shift time.

TIMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Izzy over the right field wall
doubt they'll pitch him inside

it would sure be nice tho..

But not with that girl swing.
Make up for the fail earlier in the game

Come on mighty mouse!

cmon tits

find the overpriced cheap seats 220 feet away

You're kidding!

That pitch was eye-level.

can this ump be fired already

that’s laughable

The FIggins at bat pushed it over the edge for me.
another BS strike call
I swear they pay the umps
I want a bomb from Izzy right here
Send figgins

DI

nice call there coach
Thanks for listening,

Sosh

Who is more hateable...

The whole Yanks team or Papelbon?

Any singular Red Sox

vs. the entire Yankees team.

:X

Let’s just call it a scratch and sniff

Dinner's on Molina
Well they didn't beat us so thats a good sign.

We gave them that one on a silver platter

Way to go Nap!
figgy
QFT

That throw was money.

Yeah I was listening to radio

Not watching it. You guys are right.

I take it back.

Brandon Wood in ’10???

if anyone is going to close it out against the angels

i prefer mariano

damn..

we could’a had this game.. oh well, turn the page.. lets sweep the SUX!!!

So.... the inhereted runners % for Oliver...

Has to be 80%

Way to knock those runners in tonight, boys!
that game plays out differently

if scioscia had to have it.

that 8th inning was a 6 games in the loss column decision

or if Figgy catches that damn ball
oh, and most likely

we lose no ground..

Loss goes to Weave

Didn’t deserve that

We'll be back

For the ALCS baby!
