Nice play Juan.
I like the Pechanga commercial
What the hell is Pechanga?
indian tribe
Ahhh...

We have the Turning Stone out here.

That's akin to saying I like getting stabbed repeatedly in the stomach
Juan flashing the fine corinthian leather
1,2,3 inning - yeahhh
He seems to like hitting the ball here.

I’m just saying

More runs

Rosie to 11-1!

Never a dull moment Juancho
Scott Boras singing take me away
I'm sorry, but that Take me Away song..

forces me to mute during commercials. Especially since it’s so Goddamned loud on the HD feed.

Ok, let's get 'em.
Little trick I've found

never get excited about a Lefty hitting a flyball to Leftfield. I think you could count on one hand the number of players that have pulled off that feat in Anaheim.

D-Mac.

Anyone else?

KMo
I've seen him hit some to LCF

you seen one to straight away left?

You're right.

But how about GA? I know I’ve seen him hit one at the short fence in left.

Bernie Williams hit one that barely made the short fence

Mo hit a couple but he played so many games here, I’m sure Edmonds did for the same reason. and I’m probably missing a few.

A WARNING TRACK THRILLA FROM GODZILLA
Whew good job Rosie Palmer

our good luck charm and most unsung Angel star

Let's Go Halos!

Rally in some go ahead runs.

Drowsy driver behavior

is that like stoner proof?

C'mon Hula Dula

the Shakezula, mic roolah

Gotta do better than that in cliutch-time..

is the year 2000?

whats w/the raver song?

fireman on the state farm commercial

is possibly more annoying than the pechanga comercial.

As annoyong the pechanga commercials are...

Ive lucky in more ways than one at that place.

If the Angels have like a 8 run lead in the final inning of the Division Series or LS

I hope Soth gives the ball to Palmer. He deserves that thrill of closing out a series.

oh god

Rally Monkey Time!!!!!

LOVE THE MONKEY

He is fantastic!

If you make noise, he will come!
In the year 2000

Conan and Andy good times.

did you see Andy lay a beat down on Wolf on Celebrity Jeopardy

CLASSIC

omg wolf sucked
yea horribly

for a guy with a BA in history, it was embarrassing just to watch

A lot of the comedians are smarter than the talking heads.

And more amusing.

K-Mo is unstoppable
IS dat sum KMO

Why didn’t I play him today?

Guh..

Yes K-Mo!!!
As Rev would say....Barbie Wet

Ken DRY!!

If K-Mo wasn't so lazy

that would have been a triple.

Nah

If K-Mo was faster …

yankees are afraid
C'mon Juancho, bring him in!
i liked this pitcher

:(

He wuz sooooo gud fer us
Looks like a day on the bench with Q on the field was just what Kowbell needed.
The Soth knows best.
Concern

about losing your spot might do that???

haha

pretty sure kmo doesn’t have to worry about losing his spot..

I doubt Kendry has anything to worry about. Get serious.
Good call bringing in Marte, Girardi!
Now you've done it.

He’s bringing in Hughes

I hear plenty of Kowbell now .... it's just right

Somebody dry off Acuda

Please show more of that girl dancing.
you mean that pink rally monkey?
Grounder advances the runner.

Let’s go Aybar.

Alright at least he's now on 3rd
Well then

lets go aybar

Dammit Juan, don't swing at the first pitch!
That what she said.
my hs team kick foothills ass
Why is it always 2 outs?
usually happens in innings
It wouldn't be any fun with just one.
It wasn't fun with 2.

Only time I’ll ever say that.

That's when baseball begins
All ships move to attack formation...
Fuck the evil empire
The Germanic tribes have been at those gates for a while
Canada pisses me off too Rev, but I'm watching the Angel game
Aybar

2-out 2-strike base hit FTW

lets goo aybar, keep the dream alive

HK YESSSSSSS YESSSSSS EYSSSSSS
Howie Kendrick grabs a bat

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS

wow abreu taught him well

Gameday slow
you didnt miss anything
dont let them celebrate on the field

god damn it, bring in naps

Ugh

We need to get hughes in the 8th. I don’t know if we can get Rivera in the 9th

He choked against the M's a few days ago.

It’s not impossible.

i mean

i dont like the odds

Never tell me the odds! :-P
We've beaten up Mariano plenty of times in the past

shit damn shit and fuck

Are you kidding?

It’s just a regular season game, end of 7th, down by 1, have scored 4 unanswered, Rosie in the game, HK coming soon. No reason to lose it.

Losing it?

Dude, You aint see nothing yet.

And no I'm not Kidding.
Gotta shut down. I'll be back for the postgame
We have HK coming

We will win

Great AB Aybar, but fuck it would have been nice to cash that one in

ya he definately fought that time

that's not gonna get it done
Am I the only one

who this game feels more like just a really exciting exhibition game?

I mean both teams are going to be in the playoffs. The aren’t playing in the first round. And I think we all know deep down, how you do against a team in the regular season doesn’t mean all that much once the playoffs start.

I’m loving the game…. it’s just not going to hurt that much if they lose.

u see the practice jeopardy game? funny

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/09/18/andy-richter-crushes-cnns_n_290883.html

posting links in the gamethread is distracting as hell.
brody asked before

don’t click or click on the black 2 get rid of it

make a fanshot instead
and tell them how? he asked just a second ago
if this was a exhibition game

there would not be so many PH and the yankees would have kept marte

agreed, this and the boston series were pretty intense.

2 rules of Baseball

1) No Crying
2) Always beat the Yankees

girardi used 3 pitchers in the 7th inning

he’s not playing an exhibition game

It means more to NYY and their fans just to beat the Angels in Anaheim.
playing for best record
this seems more a dress rehearsal for the big dance
smaller big dance u mean
depends how you look at the nl
didn't the nl win last year?
aberration? hahaha

I mean is still cool to say a player is being called up when he’s traded from nl to al?

The AL as a league is better than the NL

Unfortunately this doesnt always mean AL wins the WS

Domination

of the Yankees is good though…

This is the Rival

if we lose to the Yankees then fuck, and if we beat them FUCK YEAH!!

Did you have one saved up?
Same.

Pretty anti-climatic after giving texas the boot (well, realistically the boot..)

ohh no - I didn't know that Thurs. Oct 1st game was a 3:05 game - that's a weird time.
i'm there
I am too just didn't know it was a "day" game - and then the Rally after
we don't 100% have a playoff spot patched up

i would have waited till clinching to announce it

we have a playoff spot 250% clinched
magic number is 5

id be ok with waiting till end of week to announce

sat clinch
i need

a monday clinch ill be at the game for my birthday to

good luck w/the number being 5 now
oh and happy bday
They're doing the rally before the end of the season? And right after a game?

well this game sorta matters, if the yanks have a massive collapse, the angels could possibly avoid boston in the 1st round

we'll play whoever

bring it

i'd take the pirates and the nationals
Not by much, but out.
red sox fan buddy of mine would rather face NYY than LAA in the first round
Murder your friend.
He clearly doesn't know his history
he doesn't believe in curses
Never fight a 2 front war in Europe?
watch out for asteroids?
Never start a land war in Asia.

lol i guess everyone is writting off the tigeers

Yankee announcers are gloating over how many times the Yankees have made the postseason

hard to refute

47 times

either division or wild card

What Period of the Earths History did most of that happen?
early

but they have been there most of the last 13 years or so

First round drop outs most of the time

thank you very much

if you have slept with a hundred fat chicks

leave out the “fat” and you sound like a stud … how many of those postseasons were in a segregated league? how many were in a league made easy to get to postseason by repeating many games against only 7 opponents all season.

Against no PCL teams either.

hey...

I thought it was kind of funny the way they were telling it…sounded pretty conceited to me…

and don't forget the 110 to 1 scout advantage

and the bully trades, and …

one time

a skinny chick slept with me.

inflatable doesn't count :)
are over 40 now?
hey now

the first time was funny. now yer makin’ me mad. eerrrrrrr ;)

Dick Squisher

lol i really hate him for some reason, i dont know why lol

Easy.

Former Oakland guy.

Don't count out the upset in the central Gubi.

Especially if the twins make it. They’re hungry.

look at those skanks

Texas loses

magic number reduction and the sKankees just clinched playoff spot with that Texass loss

Sit down, Nick
Eish...

Try not to use the first name Nick…especially in that context

Let's go ANGELS

Make them celebrate after a loss!

More importantly, make them do it in their own clubhouse.
Matty P is PUMPED
What's Palmer's ERA as a reliever?
g o o d
zero with 50 wins.

dude is a beast.

But what is it specifically? As in, I am having difficulty remembering the last time he gave up a run.
2.42 heading into this game

must be lower now

M A T T P A L M E R

palmer shut the yanks downnnn

i was kinda hoping to clinch while playing against the rangers at home

so they watch the party but at this rate they’re not going to make til then

just win it baby

any place any time

it would be nice to get a W for Palmer

Road to a Dozen!

hit it out howie

Rosie Rosie Rosie
Posada going through pain
to hell with Posada already
Posada going through pain
Dang

Hate when that happens

Let's Go Angels!
figgi

thanks for the Conan link of the practice jeopardy. Very funny

Am I sleep-linking?

Lol JK

that's the Cano I know...
Howie smoked that BTW.
error on the buttcrack

LO bad time to get an error

slash bunt let go little league on their ass
I'm drunk

and happy.

DMANNNANANAN!!!

Howiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeee

HOWIE IS A MANNN!

LOL FIGGY THREW HIS BAT
no squeeze soth please no squeeze
In Boston Figgy would have been called for interference
holy shit

was anyone else yelling at howie to stay at second??? holy shit i thought he was gonna be gunned out

Gardner has no arm
looked like garnder was on top of second base though...

maybe its the alcohol

hahah yea, i thought he was crazy for leaving 2nd

Yes

I thought Canope was gonna grab it…

yea me too

hard to guage how long it was going to take to get to Gardner though

it always looks much closer than it is

the OF in any stadium looks small from camera angle behind the plate

He made the smart move and ran straight into Jeter.

Obstruction.

ump had pointed at Jeter for obstruction

HK woulda been safe anyway

Suicide

Sqz

no contact play with nobody out please
Ump had jeter for obstruction if Howie got thrown out...

nice

I saw that too!
I thought he signaled safe meaning

that there wasn’t interference

Yup.

Heads up play by Howie to just run into him.

if we dont bring HK home, i dont knoww what!

we'll be 7.5 games up

with a magic number of 6?

Magic # is 5 at the moment
Horrible Figgins.

wow figgy, u suck

Come ON

3-5 with a HR

Figgins!

That’s okay…you’ve helped out already

okay might mouse, just drive it deep, i just want this run!!

FLASH THOSE

Rodent Nipples

Bunt Squeeze
that would be too much like angel baseball
Ump loves that low strike
Bring the boy back home!
Ooooo

3-1 count. Come out swinging?

he’s gonna walk him and try to get the dp

MIGHTY MAICER!!!!!

I feel all warm and fuzzy inside

And its not the Vodka talkin’

GREAT AB GAZOOOOO
Oh hell yeah ... our two second basemen show up theirs
i love live look-in

BooBay

Make your former team pay for not paying

Any version of getting on base would be perfect

or a hr, i d take that too

tied up. I knew we'd get there.
fans finally alive now
what did I miss...I had to go ......
tied game
I got that.....HOW?
Izzy got a base hit, drove in what's his name.
Gazoo great AB

hammered a single to RF…after Figgy popped up to 1b weakly

might mouse hard line to rf

well not line, but over 2b headsorta

male and female streakers ran across the field
Howie reaches on error,

SB and throwing error, moves to third. figgins pop out, Maicer 1B

I was first to actually explain
Alright Angels, now drop a train on em.
I think Shawn Wooten retired bro
fox should have Upper View camera angle
arte luxury suite

cam – occasional buffet and wine bar shots

Abreu is a tough out for any team

I’m glad he’s on ours

Oh man. Izzy at 2nd

the yanks are choking it harddddd

The difference with Molina vs Posada at the plate is incredible.
Maicer to 2nd!

A single gives us the go-ahead! SWING BOBBY SWING!!!!

Or walk...

lazy bastard. :)

Not at THAT pitch.
screech dem brakes, yo
Abreu

God of the Walks

okay vladeee drive them in!!

I'm hoping for 10 runs tonight

Yankee bullpen sucks

VLAde better not DP or ill be pissedddddddddd

Vlad

Will get revenge

COME ON VLAD BE A HAERO
OR HERO

WHATEVER WORKS. :O

Vladdy Vladdy Vladdy Vladdy
this would be sweet

if this team was called the red sox and this was the ALDS

…..lol vlade isnt going to be up their long

a hero not a ZERO
make up time

Vlad. LOL @ 1st pitch

Not a patient bone in this man's body.

Yeesh, Vladdy.

Oh man, Vlad, that was your pitch...

thank god he didnt swing lol

need to see what kate hudson is doing

please show immediately.

OH MY GOD HE TOOK A PITCH

MVP! MVP!

common vlady just bloop it somewheree1!

Vlad looking curve there
1st pitch swing

no wonder he has so many kids.

…………… can live with him cant live without him

That same set of pitches to Bobby

would have been a walk.

game day is ahead of us.

tori will get it done!!

i jst told missus HF about LADYBUG's rally tinkle

she is in there now for the team

I do what I can for the TEAM!!
Dammit Vladdy

No playoffs for you if you keep that crap up.

make up for all the time on the DL

ok

That was your fault vlad

Torri " the MILF " Hunter
The man you'd like to........?

ouch, he is bringing the cheese

Phyzz please please stop blowing yankme players
ah ahahahahahahaha

thank you rory and gubi!!!!!

Tori

channel your inner Phelps

Torii behind the count

getting old.

k3yerout Vlad...

congratulations, you just made Hughes look like he was throwing 99

It's strange

Recently, when Hunter and Vlad come on the plate, I assume they’ll both be out

That's because you're silly.
Torii is pressing.
don't forget Mathis

wow, hughes blew it by us

K3yerout=Torii

FAIL

Dang.

Oh well, got one.

Rich guy fail
no gmj did well

oh the other other rich guy

man i think i'd rather have vlad in there than torii right now (hitting)
0-for freaking 5
i like our pen vs. theirs
our pen is mightier than their sword?
geesh crapazola

u need to go back to thebathroom lol

why? they have the crap, not me
it's up to Mrs HF for the rally tinkle
I'd keep Kendrick in the game at 2nd

so that he bats 4th in the 9th, instead it’s Naps batting there

ok they did that
Budde is behind the plate and Howie stayed at secon

if gameday is telling the truth

who are these catchers lol

Ryan Budde

Rally Buddy

The Budde Christ!
Rally Budde Buddy?
My Budde and Me?
My Budde, My Budde,

Nobody like you.

I want Budde to get some doinkers
Budde better be able to throw

He needs to hose Gardner

Gardner's swing looks like Damon's...
Leave him alone

Butcher

63 DP PLEASEEEE

Get the DP Matt.
i do not like this crowd right now

too many skankee fans

Too many Boos for Palmer
they paid good money to see their team lose.
like fleas

they’re everywhere, nearly impossible to get rid of and obnoxious as hell.

It reeks of skank in Anahiem
sheesh...how many ignorant sKankee fans are there?
Too many
They're all from LA, too embarrassed to root for the Doyers
the beasts from the easts

really?

I got the munchies.
me too...

kids caught me eating ice cream out of the container

jeter has a freaking hot gf

whats her name, she is on some show

mike piazza

she is on baseball tonight mets highlights

Budde you suck
that was on

Palmer

He could've thrown it to the 1st base side of the bag
Budde rushed it

because Palmer almost threw it over his head

nicethrow NOTTT

Noooooooooo
At Fenway

that’s a strike

only if the angels are at bat

our catchers Suck

thanks sosh

Awful throw Budde.
Bring on the robots

he was out

I would run on angel catchers all day.
Nice second effort by Aybar technically got him.
Unintentional intentional
Can we get Jose Molina back?

The Angels have an awful assortment of defensive catchers.

yea who the heck did we get for him?

definitely one of the worst trades Stoneman made

So many questions with the Just for Men comercial

what happened to the mother? why does a 10 year old have a cell phone? who is watching the kids when the dad is with the prostitute?

And,

Why are both kids sitting there together, WAITING for a pic message?

Daddy said he's send a pic

Daddy delivers. That’s what Mackenize Phillips said. Nominate me for f’ed up comment of the year.

Let's do it Cuz Ollie
Just a AA pitcher

Who got released last year.

Palmer?

The guy who has won 10 games this year?

no Palmer was a FA
Oh

Missed what he was talking about. Don’t me messing with my Rosey!

Jeff Kennard

This was meant to answer who the Angels got for Jose Molina.

dude these guys in the background

are ANNOYING

latest

Boras has stayed all season

Let's Go Angels!
3riple play would be great here
still went for a bunt

that bitch

Infield in, I'd think.
I thought Budde was going to throw it away
IBB

Okay then…

Walking Tex to go after A-Rod.
Walk Tex to set up the double play?
I think you have to

If more than one run scores, it doesn’t matter how many more.

Willits sighting!!!
so no Jepsen?

if we need a K he’s the guy….

Oh Boy..

with Oliver’s 30% Inherited Runner score.. I don’t like where this is going.

Soooooo

Budde…..wth man

Yeah, looked like he was just staring that thing straight into his facemask.
Nice throw to the plate though...
they walked to get to ARod?

UGH

Gardner just too fast.
Budde can't catch
That's why he's a career minor leaguer.
and yet he takes up a spot on the 40 which means the Angels

have left better players unprotected.

Not really.

We haven’t had any other good catchers besides Wilson until conger. Someone has to back up the major leaguers.

But Budde is replacement level

if Napoli and Mathis got injured Budde would still be our backup C. They could have left him unprotected and just called up whoever was playing catcher at AAA.

Budde IS playing at AAA.

That’s the point.

yea but they only have to give him a 40 man spot

if 2 guys get hurt, they give it to him regardless

Only if one of them is 60 days.

You can’t count on that.

I mean, it's not like Mathis and Napoli are paragons of health here.
If we lose this game this way...

It’ll be a real heartbreaker.

For some reason I don't feel that way.

Maybe it’s the new BP meds.

Guess who needs to NOT pitch with < 2 outs with a man on 3rd...
Fuentes?
i know i know

SPIER!!!

good job my buddy

damn u RODGER LODGE!!!

What?
go see game thread 1
I was cooking dinner and swearing at Lodge when he was in the booth and Gubi dropped the huge hint that he needed to leave.

Did he lay a curse on us that I missed because of the invectives that came out of my mouth?

Can we put Mathis back in?

Me scared of Budde

oliver with the

“im gettin too old for this shit” look

He needs a ring.
He keeps allowing IR to score...

he ain’t going to see one.

Let's get to Rivera like Ichiro did the other day
BOTG: LODGE
his voice is like nails on a chalkboard
Little early for that.

I recall the Angels getting to Cabrera at least once earlier in the season. Why not now?

Ugh...

how idiotic of me.

cabrera?

u mean rivera?

That's a double FAIL on me.

Bug is joking along with me totally getting Rivera wrong. What a dumbass. Sorry, people.

hey, it happens to all of us, lol
Is Matsui

Called Gidzilla because he looks like an old monster?

Ok, now we need to win it. GO GO GO!
i wish we were facing fuentes
i'll take a 40 year old mo
Then you'll be waiting until November...

He’s 39 for another few months yet.

That inning could have been worse

It’s just a shame that we couldn’t execute the pitchout correctly.

I prefer walk-offs anyways
So we have to get Rivera?

Ah man

Swing at the first pitch ladies..

that is how the M’s beat Rivera earlier this week

ok, it was weekend, but you get the picture

They don't listen to you

just doing my advance scouting

alrighty KMO, take him deeep@

Angels had plenty of chances to win this one

Bottom line is Guerrero, Hunter, and Rivera didn’t come through.

so did the yankees
Not over...
or Figgy
Figgy got a homerun
Figgy went yard to get us started
Rivera may get another chance

Game not over yet

bottomline: dont let fools in the booth to plug their shit, especially roger lodge. we always getting roughed up when people are in the booth, almost every single time!

Ugh... 0 for 5 from Hunter with 3K

5 LOB?

Awful…

Thats like, your opinion, man
send the runners
My hearts beating fast
BOOM

Take THAT Mo River’s K/BB ratio!

how does Rivera not get that call

I’ve seen him get so much worse

Oh man.......

what did gameday have that as?

Looked about the same as Palmer's non-strike earlier.
Ball. Middle Outside
Low. Below the fuzzy outline of the box.
Damn that was close

My heart stopped

Willits sighting #2

i love how patient we are, or at least some of us….Cough VLADEEE

K-MO>MO

MOty win

Skip over to 2nd, KMo

Johnny Rivers vs. Mo Rivers is brutal

This is so stressful!
And yet I am remarkably calm.

This is just weird. Gotta be the new meds.

please share
Hydrochlorothiazide. Tiny little pill. Made me toss my cookies yesterday.

Today they said take just a half and see what happens.

that's unusual

usually just makes you pee.

Watch your potassium…eat a banana or drink some OJ every day

I had both yesterday for breakfast, and they bounced.

I can’t look at sugar right now. Makes me want to toss more cookies. Maybe I’ll lose some weight from not wanting sugary stuff.

Anyway, they warned me about both, that the stuff is a diuretic and that I’d need potassium, so they gave me potassium pills.

rivera fears the angels!

Bring out the ThunderSticks!!!
has rivera tried to or actually picked anyone off in his career?
Reggie thought about diving

Then decided not to

Rivera vs Rivera
Juan and Mariano Rivera...

Put them under the same roof and you got yourself a sitcom

dont trip reggie
Do my eyes deceive me?

A guy who never walks guys walks a guy who never walks?

he is gonna thro the curve

Big lead there, weggie

Take one for the team Pantuso.

letss goo, work a full count

WHY DO U HAVE TO SWINGGG

Sniff your bat, grasshopper.

Worst thing that could've happened
No, it's not even close.
contextually
Contextually, there are worse ways to lose. Like getting shut out. Like getting shut out in a laugher.

We fought our way back to a tie despite Santana’s difficulties and had a chance. Oliver had problems. Could have been so much worse than it was.

wow… massive fail

Oh....My....God.....
Failure all around.

Noooot even close. Wow.

Rivers fails again.
SUCK

That was nowhere near the zone.

That's Angels Baseball

But hit and run with Rivera = STUPID

OH IS THAT HOW YOU THROW SOMEBODY OUT????????????????????????
it only takes one
terrible swing Juan.
He was probably trying to protect the runner.
he pretty much has to swing at anything close with the runner going
Wow

That was a bad game

No, it wasn't. It was exciting, right down to the last out. Just too bad we lost is all.

1st pitch…..

sending the runner cost us the game right there

no way Rivera swings at a pitch like that if he isn’t trying to protect the runner

Ah well. Get em tomorrow.
Yup. Another chance tomorrow.

I love baseball.

wow we blew it

I wonder why Scioscia didn't put in Jepsen.

I think we might have gotten out of it if he had.

Get em tomorrow

Lame ass game

MO was scared too
Ow.

Didn’t see that Willits got thrown out too. Dear God, that’s the worst thing that could possibly happen.

Rivera swings at balls 3, 4, and 5
The worst thing that could happen? You don't have much imagination.
UBER

LAME

shoulda been a win

another blown call costs us the game

nice umpiring again!

Good night

Never making it to work on time but oh well, the sacrifices we make….

Angels have 15 catchers and not one can throw

but they can call a great game!

so true

it hurts

no nap cant do both ;)
maybe, but Budde threw Gardner out...

ump missed the call

well it was more aybar

what a waste of a good buzzzzzzz

And Aybar to seal it up for the Skanks.

Goddamnit I HATE THIS SHIT.

I'll be at the game tomorrow as we win the series
Good. I was offered tickets, but mr opiejeanne can't ditch out on a meeting he set up, and I have a class from 1 to 4.

Rats. Will have to record it on the DVR.

well you could give them away...
The guy who offered was coming too; he's taking his dad and another friend.

BOTG: ROGER LODGE

Aggressiveness fail
the thing that makes that so lame

is that the Angels were doing just fine against Rivera until Soth tried to make something happen. Rivera doesn’t strike out much at all if left to his own devices and he was foulding off good pitches. Rivera makes a small mistake there and he’s going to take advantage of it.

Agree

He was fooling no one with that play.

totally disagree...

Rivera swung at balls 3, 4, and 5

a couple of em were close and he had to swing at the last one

the Angels are 2nd in stolen bases but 21 in SB %

1st in CS

woohoo!

Can't wait until it happens in the final game of a playoff series
Wrong thing to say.
