Looks like it's just me..
Wow.

Made Torii look BAD there.

Disagree

Torii mad Torii look bad

Dimple-chin Pettis looks sick. He has dark circles under his eyes, and he just looks unhealthy.
lack of 'getting-laid-itis'!
I don't know if that makes you look like that.
Good morning everybody from Barcelona, Spain

Let’s score some runs here

whoa

Barca, man you are all over the place

busy week
well hope you enjoy sir
thank you

other than being up at 5:30 to watch the game, I do

Props for waking up in time for the game.

What’s the game plan in Barcelona, headed to the beach or on business?

business for a couple of days
Every time we look you've moved to a new country.
Say hi to Thierry Henri for me
say hi to my main Swede Ibrahimovic
F' those hussies, say hello to Guti and Raul!
3 more

innings!!

Toyota Text poll on YES Network:

Who is the best baseball team in LA this year?

Oops. No biggy, Joe. Get the next guy.
Dang.

Singles don’t beat us though, Joe.

hope you get groped by Al Roker.....
That'll be another wasted homerun for A-rod

I have confidence.

Ultimate stat-padder! :P
yes

empty — I hope

Thee Castilian for Si
That'th how you thay it in Barthelona.
But it sure makes Roids look great
Easy, Joe. Throw strikes.
wow thats a loud chant

LETS GO ANGELS

LETS GO HALOS
Hey you. Where have you been?
that was a wicked googly
Gubi

HE and Posada were both thinking changeup … Saundo threw the fastball

I'm getting sick of these gratuitous camera shots

A-Roid pops up — cut to B List girlfriend reaction
A-Roid hits HR — cut to B List girlfriend reaction
A-Roid picks his nose & scratches his ass — cut to B List girlfriend reaction

she played a pretty good ho-bag in almost famous
She parlayed one decent film performance into an entire career

in the exact same manner that a certain player parlayed one decent season into a 5 year $50 million dollar contract.

i wish she was my b list girlfriend
i don't mind

closest thing Anaheim Stadium has to a “celebrity” besides, what… Mark Whicker in the press box?

Saunders just keeps on chugging.
1 unassisted!

nice Saunders!

No sweat, Colonel.

Lets get some more runs to back Joe up.

Joe Saunders...

in GREAT position to steal Kate Hudson from a-rod.

Other than being married and having a kid, yes.
did not slow A-Rod down
True. But Joe's not a 'ho.
what else would hokie joe stand for?
He went to V Tech.
(i know)

poor attempt at humor.

I have a greater appreciation for our UK brethren

these games are freaking early

PANTHER for dedication and commitment
speaking of

theres a girl down the hall from me who goes to Oxford.

uh...what's she doing in Princeton?

long commute

The one on Saturday must have just about killed you.
yeah...but I didn't have to get up early for a meeting on Sunday
Wayne Gretzski Pitching for the Yanks
lucky bounces

Yankees have had two outs their way that were LUCKY bounces

Ugh. Kick-save robbery.
can't wait for Wed game....already told work...nothing after 12!!!
THIS IS GREAAAAAAAAT
YOU NOT PITCH INSIDE!!

MAKE HULK MAD!!

NoNoNoNONONONONONO
??

Uh…

I believe that's the spanish language broadcast call.
Obvioso You No Listen to Beisibol in Espanol
No, I listen to it in Anglais.
HOLY SHIT

looks lie a 12-year old running the bases – legitimate happiness!

even in a batting cage it's fun

to hit a ball that cleanly!

once in Japan I hit a ball over two houses in the neighborhood

I rounded the bases like that with my fist in the air.

The opposing team was fielded by 3, 4, and 5 years old. TAKE THAT KINDER FOLKS!!!

LOL.

Way to rub it in.

he killed that ball
KOW-BELLS BE BACK

Chee-Hoo

I guess the Yankees didn't get the memo

that the league figured Kendry out. I guess it’s probably because the Yank’s don’t spend enough on scouting.

Let's not remind them
I won't tell them if you don't!
Too busy looking at themselves in the mirrors?
C'mon my good friend, Gary

beat this guy

Yankees suck chant going. :D
They are?
for a bit

it was awesome

Just after the HR by Kendry.
***************HOMERUN********Kendry Morales!**************
is that #99 RedBI for the K-Mo?
Yep. Gotta get that #100.
Bed Time for the Dirty Skanks
I mean its 12 over here
but that's like 5pm A-Rod time!
His evening chant

“I gots to spread the seed, and such.”

Why didn't they show Kate Hudson right after than homerun?

That’s what I wanted to see. Probably wiped that damn grin on her face.

More like she was thinking

Man, that’s WAY bigger than A-Rod’s… :-P

and he lives near by.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Doubt she's following the game
Probably because no clue what a homer actually is

Banwagoneer Bimbo

She has been staring at Mathis's ass for two hours

being hypnotized into being an Angels fan now.

so that's why Mathis got the start!
she will have to compete with napoli

for a piece of mathis ass

and Wilson and Budde

didn’t you hear? they are the 4 amigos!

It would certainly explain that

Mathis fangirl Zu met.

I hadn't noticed either catcher's hiney. Hard to erase the memory of Downing's near perfect posterior.
I'll have another Dale Ernhart Klondike Bar.
Figgy on First talking ot Teixeira

FIGGY: “So how much is one of them lofts in Soho goin’ for a month?”
TEIX: “I would have to ask my wife…”
FIGGY: “If I steal second, you thnk Robby Cano got the goods on the New York pussy?”
TEIX: “I usually am out the door before the guys talk about that stuff.”

... I've never heard any mention of Figgy's love life.
had an affair with a friend of a friend...................

he’s a floozy

Aw. I always thought he was a nice guy.
rhymes with gut

synonym of hoochie

oh apparently

no Jepsen for the night

what kind of name is Melky???
a really gay one
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
yea just more for A-Rod
I think Hideki means "Oh Shit!" in Japanese
Sunday paper in Syracuse this week

had a baby announcement for a kid named Zenon.

small crowd

a bit over 38,000

Monday school night

playoff spot not in doubt…..

Yeah, but usually the Yanks and Sox carpetbaggers fill the park.
wtf is that about?

Spankee games are usually sel outs

even the "Sell Outs" cannot afford tickets in this economy
We thought about going but this morning I started throwing up. Decided it would not be a good idea.
recession

nobody hopping on the ESPN teams bandwagon when they cannot afford cable

yea I know a lot of ppl that have given up cable this year

especially when with a PS3 and an internet connect I can watch my favorite tv shows for free before they are even broadcast in California.

S'okay Joe.

Singles don’t beat us.

Stop giving up long balls Joe.
Can i have a yankee broadcast call please?

ITS A THRILLLLAAAAA FROM GODZILLLAAAAAAAAA ZOMMMMGGGGGG

no i refuse

their radio is perhaps the worst thing EVER!!!!!!!!

Just as corny as "an A bomb from A Roid!"
hmm another PH homer.

interesting.

I'd bring in Bulger or Jepsen now
LOL "jackie chan wannabe" per my oldest son
The Yankees fans are such tools, cheering two single homers from overpaid

punks

I dunno, I always kinda liked Matsui.
FREE AGENT

I would take him as a full time DH for the Angels over Vlad or Bobby.

Sympathy be damned…

One good thing about Matsui is

He brings in the big bucks.

But I don’t see him signing anywhere except for the skanks again.

Definitely the better of the 2 Hedekis
what else they gonna cheer?

but they’re still tools

equal time

for Jeter’s boyfriend?

what?

are they showing Piazza in the crowd now?

WINNA WINNA WINNNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAHHHHHH
Why are they warming up Cousin Oliver?
insurance
Does Ollie give you cash (which is just as good as money)?
more skankee whoring
you know...

there was a fork in the road, and i took it

Come on Damon, strike out. You suuuuck.
Scioscia in full-on Jedi-Master pose.
Johnny D

just not the same without the locks

Great start Joe.
Nice work, Hokie Joe.

8IP 2ER

Joe......

you sir……

are the M A N!

Nice game, Joe.

2 solo HR’s are easily forgivable when you gave up nothing else and got 8 innings to rest the pen.

especially when he tweaked something in the 2nd inning

Bell wouldn’t have lasted 3 innings

Solo shots prove that he challenges the hitters, and

ain’t giving away any part of the zone.

How do you pitch the 9th?

I’d pitch Joe until he gives up a baserunner, but I’m sentimental like that.

he's looked good against Tex

but no way I want him facing A-Rod

Not this close to the playoffs in a start where he favored his knee.
2 run lead. Soth will use the Fuentesaurus.
101 pitches

he’s done enough

With 100+ pitches and Joe having tweaked the leg?

Nah. 8 innings is plenty. Though since the other option is almost certainly Fuentes, I see the appeal.

Best pitched game by Joe all year.
greinke game
That was the Royals.

This was the Yankees. Quality of opponent has to count for something. But I agree, if only for the amount of press that Grienke was carrying in with him.

but it is the new york yankees.
yeah yanks vs Royals?

no contest

I still take the Greinke game just because at the time Greinke was unbeaten

and getting a ton of press, and Joe out-dueled him. But this was a great start.

And lest we forget, that game was at a time when we were in desperate need of

good pitching.

exactly not against the Kansas City Grienkes
is it better to know that we can stick them if we meet in the playoffs?

Or is it worse because they have a whole game’s worth of film to adjust to?

What a great way to start off the day
Could still get better.
Isnt it like 5am where you're at?

I take it you must have mlb tv

This catcher they just put in

is the one that got injured in a spring training game when a TB minor leaguer ran him over at the plate which I believe tied or gave TB the lead. Then all of the Yankees went crazy mad against TB when there was a freaking easy solution.

If you can’t stand the heat get the hell out of the kitchen (errr off home plate)

last year, right?
yea
how dare TB think they're a competetive team

arrogant pricks

I know didn't they know they were Devil Rays

and should just let anyone tag them out.

Yep Fuentesaurus sighting
It's The GIMP gettin' ready
That's the same pitch they called you out on last time, Bobby.
Daddy's gonna take care of Bidness
I like what im seeing from vlad.
30% off? Holy crap.
its only marked up 70 percent
overstocked on the GMJ jerseys
You win the cookie for best reply.
and this Sunday...

it should be 50% OFF

DISCOUNT SALE

on Friday in the team store … clearing the way for the Division Champs merchandise

all Q merchandise is 94% off
Sweet! Q jersey for only $67!
Q Jersey runs $1K???
scarcity
I should get a Q jersey... just for the hell of it
to remember him next year?
will soon be competing with Sham Wows

as the cheapest dishrag on the market

c'mon Torii

get some insurance

Why wouldn't you pinch-run for Vlad right away?

And why wouldn’t the broadcast let us know whether they did or did not until the next batter hits a ground ball? So goddamned Bush league; it’s tiring.

gotta talk about the sale at the team store

keep jockeying for position with management against Physioc the world’s greatest asskisser

yea no idea

he’s not likely to hit again

Scioscia

worried about Fuentes letting them tie it up

because Soth knew a double was coming

DUH!

he so

smaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaart

Darn

I thought it was gone
damn phyzz

well one could blame you but the camera angle was apparently from section 523
I'm listening to the game on radio

broke college student = no mlb.tv

you have parents with TV in socal?
i mean its my home

so yes

a sling box is cheaper than MLB.TV
infield pop flies sound like they are out of the park when Phyz calls it
you hate him when he doesn't get excited

you hate him when he does.

lol

even I can tell by the sound if it's going to go far or not.
yeah but he is never listening to the game and hardly watching it

usually paging thru the media guide for some tidbit to make himself sound smart

at least it's better than paging through the tidbits

of some 18 year old by CJ’s

It's a Yankees game

got all that shit lazar etched into his mind.

timing is everything

like DON’T get excited about Andruw Jones opportunity to hit 4 homeruns!

Well he

doesn’t get excited for us, and he gets overly excited for them. Everytime.

no he said

and it…. BOUNCES OFF THE WALL

Damon played that well
Juan Hung Low
High actually but low is a better pun
RIVERA!

The only real problem was that Juan watched it like it was a HR for a minute.

J U A N R I V E R A
Juan forgot about the Marine Layer.
Time to redesign the Stadium.

Only by a few feet.

Reggie in for Juancho
One more and it's STFD Fuentesaurus
Get that hit, HK.

Or Sosh will start putting Izturis in again.

Any Gamedayers know Hokie Joe's K and pitch count?
3 K's, 101 pitches.
WOOOOOOOO JUANNY!

And yay Phyzz for actually sounding semi-excited about it!

He got excited because Juan used to be a Yankee

okay i keed i keed…

Saundoooooooooooooooooooo
Bah,

Got another one.

Whoa. Joe coming back out.

Wow, Sosh lettin' Joe finish the game?

Unexpected.

plausible

deniability on the Fuentescrisis

Hokie Joe pitching the 9th
Strike a pose Juancho...

Rivera going to get his ass chewed by the Soth

because???
Paused a good few seconds to admire his non-HR
HMMmmmmmmmmmm
Crash Test Dummies?

i got that

Post-grunge was a weird time for music

everything was given a chance

Especially dudes with low, unpleasant voices
Id let brian fuentes practice how to throw a baseball
Don't walk him, Joe, Mike'll yank you for sure.
that loked low

but I’ll take it

called it all night
As long as he's consistent.
OT, but how about an F-bomb amnesty for the Bosux game?
Got a call.

But it’s about time.

Thank you Sosh!

I feel better with the Colonel out there still rather than…

Reggie, Reggie, Reggie!
Reggie takes charge in the outfield.

kinnda cute

Cut to kate, please
93 MPH on 110 pitches

Hokie Joe

crap...zero points for Doggy
Looks like Texas broke out of that hitting slump
score?
10 to 1 Texas, top of the 9th
Assloads to few, Texas.
Are those metric assloads or imperial assloads?

(sorry, slashdot joke)

too little too late
with rivera,

that’s 2B

not with his arm...
UHHHH Fuentes?????
Awww.

Good job anyway though.

Put a freezer-ful of ice on that knee, Joe.
and the shoulder!
Goes without saying

But he tweaked the knee in the 2nd

Yes. Now I'm a little worried that he stayed in too long.
CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP
On your feet for him, Angels fans.
Saunders is pissed
But I think he understands why Sosh has to make that move.
Leave '
ARGH

Leave ’em hungry for more, like with Howie—is what I meant to say!

I think 'fuentes is more HR

prone than Saunders

Reaching for the Patron now...

don’t screw this up, Brian

Let's use the single camera angel inthe stadium

to NOT show the pitcher leaving the mound as the crowd stands. GOD is FSW an amateur telecast. Seriously, who do you blow to get a job in the truck with no experience?

Can an Angel run 2 cameras at once?
no one in the truck

they have monkey in the mountain doing the button pushing

Atleast they stayed with the broadcast to show joe take off his cap.
It's so fascinating to watch the scoreboard instead!
If the tying run gets on, one can hope Jepsen is ready!
not going in tonight

Soth said no Jepsen tonigh

fine Bulger then!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
You still suck ass, brian
heart attack!!!!
Marine Layer FTW!
Let the Fun Times Begin
THANK you Marine Layer.
Everybody still awake?!?
Thanks Marine Layer.
all the hail

the marine layer.

YAY REGGIEEEEE!!!!
Nice catch Reggie

is it psyKo time yet

Psyko sitting, gotta keep him ready for the postseason.
Reggie, Reggie, Reggie, Reggie
Did Willits shit his drawers or what?
Hello. Hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Reggie, do you know where your at
Reggie, Reggie, Reggie!
second shot of Patron coming up...

only makes fuentes pitching prettier…

Thank god Reggie isn't any shorter
By the way, shades of the flubbed homer catch with Reggie tripping there.

This time he made the catch.

my thoghts

exactly

Reggie = Lupus
Reggie just sealed his postseason roster slot
If thats all it takes

Soth, give me a shot

91 HEAT!
Blown away by a Fuentes FB.

That’s gotta sting.

***standing up****
Sit this pencil-neck down
Way to ruin the moment, T-Rex.
cmon the only thing you can't do here is walk him

I’d rather see a 420 ft homer

You had to say it, didn't you
That's Percy's stand for sure.
JEEEEEEPPPPPPPSEEEEEEENNNNNNN!!!!!!!

GET IN THERE NOW!

NO JEPSEN

SOTH IS RESTING HIM!!!
TERRY SMITH SAID HE SAID THAT!
BAHHH

fINISH HIM BRIAN!
Walked the tying run to the plate

He’s not very likable.

Once you get to know him
Why must you make EVERYTHING difficult, Fuentes?
Was that Posada's first career PH walk?
It wasn't a PH
so he's given up a near homerun and a walk

but because the homerun was caught on the track, he still gets to pitch? if it had gone in the bullpen I guarantee he’d be out of the game

No more drama, Brian.
Nobody should be surprised by this.
not surprised - just don't like it
I love how unconcerned Saunders looks.
That's an awesome shot of Joe being completely unconcerned. XD
Fuentes is kinda a chicken
The Angels win THA-A-A-A-A-A Angels win

take that Sterling

Robinson Can...

NO !

Only positive the YES Network guys can come up with

is that the Yankees had a late rally.

Which we countered every time.
Roll call

Light it up!

Light up the halo!!!!!

Just another halo victory

Light this MoFo up!!
And we take the season series!
Wait, nevermind

1 more win

I have faith you're correct
Now I can sleep!

Light it up!

sleep....ah sweet sweet sleep

I’l sleep plenty in November

Just another HALO victory!

…and Fuentes makes it look so easy

They should play New York, New York to rub it in
lol

keep that in mind for the playoffs!

A-Rod

“let’s get the party started Kate, I don’t have to be back here until 5 tomorrow!”

OT -- entry music

Mine would be “Dead Man’s Party” by Oingo-Boingo

No offense to Nick intended
Leave your body AND soul

at the door

Saunders shows toughness, perseverance, a little skin
woohoo

just another halo victory…mag #=6

now 6-20 in anaheim since 05 for the skanks!!!!
way too many yankee fans at that game
Hokie Joe mentioned that in his postgame interview
Terrible Lizard saved it, wow!

prehistoric lizard to you.

Did the Colonel just dis us?

too many Yankee and not enough Halo fans? Sadly I was once among them — Dad was from NY & a huge Yankees fan and used to take me to the Big A whenever they were in town in hopes that I’d be lured to the Dark Side too, only I became a Halos fan much to his disappointment.

Not a dis. If you can hear their fans at all it means that some Angels fans didn't do their job.
