Halos Heaven

u from tustin too Ed?

I think the larger evidence is that the Angels have no faith in Naps ability to block the plate.

I think if it’s Mathis Fuentes throws a curve at the end there.

good point

I also don’t really grasp the 3-0 curveball to Papi to start off the rally. I do not believe he necessarily had green light with 2 out and nobody on. hello Bueller?

I dunno, I'd rather walk him than serve up a 3-0 tater.

I agree

And we actually got a lot of hits and runs tonight. This isn’t that bad. Would like to beat those guys, but this could have been worse. Team morale might actually go up if Soth spins this the right way, as I’m sure he will.

i dont see a moral win here zu...

You don't see a moral win in a game we only lost because the umps jobbed us?

Maybe they play with a little fire in their belly now.

That's possible too.

I hope it so. Depends on the team. The ’05 team let an ump-caused loss fester and got too anxious the rest of the series.

Umps blow ... bigger story

OUR CLOSER IS A BITCH

Did you expect anything else.

im only saying what everyone else is thinking

trojanangelfan - September 16, 2009 reply

tell me something i don't know

DFA Fuentes

HaloDutch - September 16, 2009 reply

Maybe this will fire us up

Us against everyone.

Brody - September 16, 2009 reply

Even GA would have tried harder there and slid to the ball

trojanangelfan - September 16, 2009 reply

In the regular season?

Nah.

Ga never broke his leg.

If GA wasn't so lazy, we would have been there to make the catch

angels_rally_mom - September 16, 2009 reply

LMAO!!! that's true!!

haha... classic

salmonforever - September 16, 2009 reply

what is up with that. he is not able to get to ball or what if he dives and the ball gets behind him it does not matter. it cant hurt

Bye Bye Funtues Hello Kevin Jepsen

WillGoAngels27 - September 16, 2009 reply

Jepsen has to close the rest of the season

I am so pissed off right now I can't even comment

u just did

isn't it ironic

don’tcha think?

deejayelleseven - September 16, 2009 reply

I wanna sweep these guys so much

we better play better..

that’s all, no more stupid mistakes and hesitations

trojanangelfan - September 16, 2009 reply

I guess...

we are saving our wins against the Red Sox until the playoffs

to be fair to the umpire

he didnt call that a strike on any red sox hitter all night.
gotta be fair to the home team.

Angel Aviator - September 16, 2009 reply

Not that pitch that bothers me its the check swing that wasnty called that was the killer

The hypothetical question is...

Would that be a called strike with papeldouche on the mound?

halofolife - September 16, 2009 reply

Down the middle?

it was low

at least for red sox hitters all night.
hell, i think that exact pitch was thrown by saunders in the first inning, called a ball twice.

fishy ending, whatever though. Hopefully fuentes isn’t the closer anymore. I want bulger or jepsen working 8-9

Gameday had it slightly below the center of the strike zone.

on tv looked like it crossed just at the knee

wherever that equates too.

no way that happens in a playoff game though, oh wait, it happened in reverse to teixiera last year against lester.

:(

Maybe i'm wrong, at least I hope I am.

But I have the unshakable feeling if the roles were reversed, and it was papeldouche on the mound, that’s a called strike.

halofolife - September 16, 2009 reply

Not to mention the infamous strike 3 on Glaus in '04 with the bases juiced that was about a foot outside.

facing lester, beckett, dice k

with an extra 6 inches on each side just for their side …. WILL SUCK …. again

dont we have home field advantage if we play the Suxs?

I'll take your word for it

but still think it appeared to be a strike on TV and an All-Star closer basically gets those calls. especially the god-awful check swing.

I freakin’ hate Fenway too. what’s with not having the side / reverse angle of the check swing showing the guy’s bat swept the entire plate? get with the damn program already, this is the bigs.

i thought it was a strike

but he wasnt calling that pitch a strike for the angels all night it seemed.
just like not calling interference, or calling an obvious swing 3 pitches before.

It's the swing that gets me. Dude swung so bad it's not even funny. For anyone else, that's strike three.

not only that

the home plate umpire would call it.

something good will come out of this game.

1. we need a defensive replacement late inning in left field, and NOT WILLITS.

2. fuentes needs to throw his offspeed, or he can not be allowed to close.

3. WIN ALL GAMES IN ANAHEIM

mastermind565 - September 16, 2009 reply

JEPSEN FOR CLOSER!

come playoff time Santana for closer!

OK so you agree, Soth is mismanaging his bullpen

Angel Aviator - September 16, 2009 reply

Fuentes did not want anything to do with Papi,,,,,dont walk him let him HR

good point

deejayelleseven - September 16, 2009 reply

There needs to be an investigation on these umps

This is just a joke

chairmanofthebar - September 16, 2009 reply

when did we have so many posters! haha

i dont really say much

but i read everyone else dont think theres alot id have to say anyone really cares about but im usually here from start to finish

devildogamp - September 16, 2009 reply

agree

I couldn’t post during the game, I was already going crazy enough. especially in the 9th, my brain might have imploded.

lol same here only enough concentration for the game

devildogamp - September 16, 2009 reply

oh ok

fuck the red sox

fuck the shitty umpires. MLB MIGHT GO AND SAY WE WANT THE FUCKIGN RED SOX TO WIN FUCK EVERY TOEHR TEAM I SUCK RED SOX MONKEYDICK

Fuck Umps and fuck the Red Sox

Lolmoarpl0x - September 16, 2009 reply

TROLL

ladybug - September 16, 2009 reply

Why is Fuentes

Still closing games? 40+ saves already doesn’t mean he’ll blow the next one in typical fashion???

blast21dave - September 16, 2009 reply

Thsi roach should calm me down a bit ......UUURRRGGGGGGG

The umps were shit

But Fuentes has no business closing out games right now. It’s got to be Jepsen’s job

i hope u guys own em it the playoffs

What's your team?

you a dodgers fan?

yes

Wow?

do you know if Rockies or Giants win the wild card you guys play the phillies. Its going to be tough.

phillies just moved up huh

yess

it will be tough
im hoping our offense can come through
the good thing is our bullpen has a ton of pitchers who can shut down left handed hitting…

yea dude your BP is good

you guys can beat them tho, you only face cliff lee twice. I have faith they reach NLCS.

thank u sir

best of luck to the angels
im hoping for that freeway world series…

arent we all.

playoff rotation will be tough...

bills has lost it…no balls for an ace
and is kershaw ok after seperating his shoulder?

so it looks like:
wolf
kershaw
padilla/garland

wolf should have 18 wins by now if troncoso and other bums hadn't blown 8 leads for him.

his last outing wasn’t his normal self but he might have been rusty after his elbow injury

yeah

like the first half of the season
the bullpen was failing on him and we werent scoring runs too
just a bad 2nd inning yesterday
but luckily he got it together

dodgers lead in the mlb in era since the allstar game

now hitting… ;)

although loney and furcal are coming around and martin already has more rbis than he did all of august

yeah
they were struggling in august to hit
but theyve seemed to turn things around in september

when i saw how kershaw hurt himself

by shagging balls…i was like

“Practice….we’re talking ’bout Practice?!” lol

kershaw should be ok
luckily its not his pitching arm
im definitely having doubts about bills
i think kuroda could take his spot
and padilla might be a no 4 starter…

oh i forgot about kuroda...his last game was good...good to see his ok after taking it in the head

wolf
kershaw
kuroda
padilla/garland

yep

he was great in his outing in SF and today as well

rocks up 4-0

btw

aight...thanks

peace out bro!

later

salmonforever - September 16, 2009 reply

wow, lot of Dodger luv there, Way to handle an outsider w/class after such a f****ed up loss

well I dont know about you guys but,

I follow the Dodgers to a average fan extent.

lineup:

kershaw
kuroda
padilla* if bills doesnt turn it around in the last couple of weeks

SonomaCoHalofan - September 16, 2009 reply

Rivera

Does anyone think he was playing too deep?

dodgers fan?

not u sorry

salmonforever - September 16, 2009 reply

Way Too Deep

EG Halo Fan - September 16, 2009 reply

yes and he half assed it to the ball

he can't run with the screws

Maybe a little too deep, you're right

That sucked. That just sucked.

Now I will wake up in the morning and hate the world.
