But first grateful congradulations friend of you'er Roayalness

Let's get a win for my birthday
Happy b-day!

If the Angels win on mine, well be in the ALCS

HAPPPEEEEE BIRFDAY!!!!!
It isn't actually my birthday for another 44 minutes
Well screw you then.

Just kidding.

is that a birthday treat?
I honestly don't know how to answer that.

Happy birthday none the less.

Happy early birthday!
Thank you one and all
DC's been hit.
yea on the radio they say it was a total

freak coincedence, it went through a doorway beyond their booth as he was walking past

What happened??
sounded like he wasn't exactly in the booth when he got hit

basically it had to go through the doorway in the back of the booth and hit him on the fly, something to that effect.

Darren Chan has a big welt (on his arm?) because a foul ball when into a booth, through an open doorway and hit DC as he was passing.

Why oh why couldn't it be Phyzzzz?
So has that baseball, nice job Aybar.
*clap*clap*clap*
Aybar!
good thing the people at work know I'm an Angels fan...

or they’d think I’m just nuts (well, yeah, but you know…..)

We will keep the really nuts part to this site
Just to let me down...
Please...no "Buttercup" references...my head hurts already.
and worst of all...
aaaarrrrrrrrggggggghhhh!
you never call baby

when you say you will

I need you
When you throw out the first pitch...

…can you modify the HH shirt to include “FIRE PHYZZ” on the front and “REPLACE BUTTERCUP” on the back?

YES

Perfect

Double Pluh-bray-u
not sure that will catch on
Settin' up nicely for the Nap-off...
Hunter can tie it up here.
Thanks Bobby!
Torii with the double. Nice.
Girardi wants to see more Rally Monkey!
Seriously, how many releivers can one manager bring in mid-inning?
He should do this in NY

let their fans “enjoy” this

Eh, it's his defenders out there in the sun.
Giving the whole bench a cup of coffee

would be better at home. Don’t cha think?

Nice Torii

Come on Kowbell, knock him in.

Hula Dula the Doubles rula
I hate september baseball

they should set a 2 pitcher per inning limit……

or after the 2nd pitcher is put in, he can only be taken out once he's given up a run
Marte and Albaladejo suck

Angels should be scoring runs off these guys.

Willits with the ball
oh good..still some tickets available for the ALDS

now all I have to do is sell some blood and my car…

#1,500 for the double

Congrats to the Hula Dula

That's awesome.

Lot of milestones this year.

I hope they make winning the World Series the next big Milestone.

"Alright, good time for Bam Bam to be a hero"

Rex

He needs that 100th RBI
Ball gets by Molina, Torii to 3rd

Thanks again Jose.

I am not a JoMo-phobe.
He's my favorite former Angel

who plays on the Yankees.

The only Yankee to hit a Grand Slam this year.

Last home run in the old Yankee Stadium.

Somehow all this is OK with me.

I agree with you, Jay.

He has more Grand Slams than Mathis Naps Budde and Wilson COMBINED

That’s some offensive prowess. Real offensive.

Morales

Do it for Acuda!!!

Phil "I spend my money on" Coke

Phil Coke, really. its like Jennifer Government come to life. Hi, I’m Joe McDonald’s…..

Yes!

WP

Just do it right handed....
Damn

t-storm just knocked out the satelite dish. I trust someone will let me know if soomeone scores?

No score.

Inning over.

Coke with a K to K-Mo

3-2

sounds like a beach boys song
Animal Sounds

w/lot’s of vitamin A

straighten that out Kowbell
Steve Howe should have had this Yankee pitcher's last name.
Should have played Quinlan.
Good luck Halos

I’m going home.

are the Angels the only team

that can turn a single a double and a wildpitch into NOTHING?

I mean besides the A’s

This game is proceeding like yesterday's...

…lots of missed opportunities.

as long as we use up the missed opportunities now

and then there won’t be any left for the playoffs

12 K's for the Yanks...

dang.

3 to K-Mo, 3 to Howie
Bulger allowed to throw more than 9 pitches?

what gives?

It's a non-lose situation

and it only take’s one pitch to give up a grand slam

listening to Build me up Buttercup on rhapsody

get the real stadium experience

wtf was that

Late roll call

Mike and his 80's Oakleys
Scioscia has got to wonder if a Pitch Out will ever work.
What!

no Dog Chapman type MP3 included?

our catchers need to pull their heads out

sheesh

only one catcher
Bwaaaaahahahahaha Napoli

Go take some juggling lessons you clown

Is Napoli Trevor Bell's long lost brother?
Jeez Napoli catch the damn ball
freakin Butterfingers Napoli
Build me up, ButterFINGERS
Shouldn't be an SB, should be an error
I'm getting tired of the "they blew the _________ "
I'm not even gonna say it...
you already thought it
yeah, I knew someone was going to HAVE to say something....

but whatEVER, dudes

I didn't say anyh
*anything
You are so not getting laid!
2 down...

let’s get ’em here.

Keep him at third

Or else

Good work Bulger.
Nice play Bulge

Almost got him in the Bulge!

I Like

how our catcher doesn’t know how to catch a ball.

I'm going to use this excuse if my first pitch goes way over his head or something.

Come on, don’t you know how to friggin’ catch a ball?

Are you nervous?
Well I've been practicing.

About 5/10 are pretty good pitches, 3/10 are wild but catchable, and the other 2/10 I throw right towards the visitng dugout.

It seems that I start off better and get worse the more I throw, so maybe I just have a 6 pitch limit, which would work for me as I only need to throw one.

Also I haven’t been able to throw off a mound yet, so I don’t know how that will affect things.

Ummm

Try to get on top of the ball? That’s all I got…

Can we please win this now???
yes we can
That's Don Baylor's cue to start playing "Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now"
Juan Rievra

best hit ball of the afternoon

HKKK, try not to suck this time
End of the line

Last chance against a non-Mariano Rivera relief pitcher.

We can hit Rivera.

It’d be kind of nice to pull an Ichiro and turn a one run deficit into a one run win with one swing of the bat, but I’m not going to complain if we can come back right here.

Dang this guy looks tough
Angels failing against a slew of bad relief pitchers
Bad pitches + Bad calling = tough for the hitters
they are not bad relief pitchers
Fat zone for yankee pitchers

are we getting those calls?

Maybe the Angels shouldnt have put themselves in a position to get a bad strike call

They should always swing at the first pitch, otherwise its a wasted opportunity.

out of the zone hit =

soft dribbler back to the mound

HK hit by the ball.
That works
Come on

HGHero

How about a differnet result

for this baserunner?

Go Angels!!!

HI everybody. Let’s get this party started.

hiya girl!!
Hey you. I just got home from ceramics class and I think I've got clay in my hair.
You just made me picture Fallon falling on his fanny.
Sorry. I don't look like Jimmy.
Almost hit another batter.

Sheesh.

WTF!

Premium lefties have been used up.

It's like the last episode of the Sopranos
Roll call. Go Izzy!

Izzy pinch-hitting for Naps

Soth has no confidence at all in Naps right now.

Not mine. Still commercials

I blame Ladybug and Opiejeanne

go ahead. We're tough. We can take your mess
I thought we don't take no mess.
Wi's mess.....no one else's!!
What??

Are you sayin’ everyone else can, well, give you mess…and I can’t?

Is there something wrong with my mess?

the 'collective mess' as in the HH motto

you know I luvs ya!

I know.

You’re the coolest.

Fouled off.

He’s in the game now. I knew Rex was going to say that. He did.

Izzy strikes. out. swining.
Swineing? Swinging.
Damn it, Izzy.

Figgs, it’s up to you.

Maicer not so much

Dang it!

Time for another Figgy Homer.
napoli

is undoubtedly in Scioscia’s doghouse

Okay figgs

It’s up to you

Damn it, Midget!

Nap could have done that himself

SCIOSCIA FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!
"Pills are good!"

A line from dumb and dumber that comes to mind for me right now after reading your post.

3-0 to Figgy.
the "high" pitches to Figgy are showing as right down the middle on gamecast
Wonder if Izzy should green light here...
Was that last one high?
Aybar up... bases loaded.
Figgins

Walks on 4 straight

BASES JUICED like A-Rod
I would say that this is the ballgame right here boys
Fat lady ain't singing yet.

but if you believe that you can leave.

Admiral Aybar witht eh bases loaded

Clutchy McClutchski

C'mon, Erick, basehit.
roll call

lets go Angels!!!!!!!!!

Aybar swings and whiffs.
id rather see him hit

the way he’s been lately

Aybar swings and whiffs. Again.
Aybar!!!! Bad
this sandwich could use something

like some GRAND SALAMI

Aybar tries way too hard with RISP
that was a GOLF swing, dammit
Come on, Erick, concentrate.
geez aybar

stop swinging at that CRAP!

got the shadows now

tough to see the pitch

he was swinging at that crap

all day..

really hoping for that slider in the dirt
it would be nice
Bring the boys back home!
jesus!

that was too close..

Thank god
You and Dono's comments conflict...

help me.

swung and missed but got a piece of the ball for a foul and J Mo missed it
Aybar

Barely fouled one off that Jose barely dropped

Fouled off, though Phyzz said that he swung and missed.
haha

slam dunk wrong

Phyzz don't know jack
so did yes network
Erick, please do this...
he's getting him with the inside pitches
Yeah. I just looked at gameday.
Just hit a line drive somewhere Admiral
insert "where they ain't" in-between somewhere and Admiral
Barely Hanging On-Bar
Kendrick, Matthews, Figgins.

LOB.

After this off day, can we start getting ready for the playoffs please?

Damn it. Atleast he made contact.
Stranded 12

Hmmmmmmm

NOW it's epic FAIL
GAME

Fail after fail after fail.

BUMMER...

Enjoy the off day, Angels! You need it!

"hello Mr. Aybar? I've got your delivery of FAIL"
playoff game....

seems like the pressure is …… well….

That just sets up the walk-off in the bottom of the 9th
shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

don’t spoil it for everybody

That's right.

Given that I’m in the future.

Relax, we still have one more inning

to blow some more scoring opportunities

Really?

I shut down gameday thinking it was the 9th… gosh, this office work sure gets in the way of properly following the game. ;)

I did that earlier this season

Couldn’t understand why there were so many more comments in the game thread.

LOB

we’re already in playoff form for that stat.

Bwaaaaahahahahahaha

Lowered Expectations

That team AVG w/RISP keeps plummeting

What was it, like .330 a month ago?

Still best in majors coming into this game

According to Phyzz though, so take that with a dollop of salt.

.299 coming into today

So they’ve been grinding for awhile if it’s dropped that far.

Chupa, Torii and Kowbell next inning against Mariano
Reggie Willits plays for the Yankees now

And his name is Brett Gardner.

I gotta go

Hold ’em, O!
We can get to Mo!

Right through the pachinko machine
wow

we had one of those when i was a kid. random.

Ok, now it really is my birthday
happy birthday!!!
Happy birthday bud
thank you thank you thank you
Got back from dinner just in time to watch the 9th inning comeback

Lord the Spanish eat all night long…I couldn’t wait to get to this game

What did you have? Was it good?
lobster in garlic sauce and spanish ham

it was great

Yum.

How is Spanish ham different from Mom’s Easter ham?

Kind of like that Italian raw stuff

Prosciutto(sp)

it's not raw, it's cured/smoked
very very thin smoked

and about forty other appitizers

Oh yummy. I didn't have lunch, so I'm figuring out what we'll have for supper.

We’ve got a few tomatoes left in the garden for bruschetta, and some leftover roast chicken. Maybe I’ll make a salad with the chicken.

Are you there on business or pleasure?
biz

pleasure would not take me away from a game

Inning over.

That was nice and quick.

Ok, time to win this. Let's go!
This whole not hitting with RISP lately is giving me the heeby jeebees

ah la last playoffs.

A HR to tie. Then a HR to win.

Then Ultra-Slim Fast Shakes for dessert.

It’s better when it’s a two run shot, because even though it just happened to NY the other day they won’t see it coming.

Oh how I hate the Yankees fans at this game.

Can we please send them home crying, oh please?

With those shadows

we wont get anything out of the infield.

MmmmmmBobbay

BOBBYBObbyBobbyBObbyBobbyBobbyBOBBAY !

Wow, chupa is on.

I’m amazed.

Here we go TORII!

Take advantage of that heat.
Yeah! Chupe was due!
where was that with the bases loaded?
That was a little out of the infield.
time to go Luis Gonzales on Mariano
MMmmmmmmTorray

ToriiTorriTorriiToriiToriiToriiTORRAY !!!!!

Mmmmmmmmmm Torray Babby !

Hunter avoids losing his head.
In the literal sense.
All right Mike

What kind of aggressive base running play can we come up with today?

Don't kill our players dammit!
Hey. Don't you hit our Torii
Torii Torii Torii Torii TORII

Torii Torii Torii Torii TORAY !

Aint nuttin but a thang
Say Hello To Our Little Freng
Golden Sombrero?

Tony Friggin Montana

"Nothing's good enough for anybody else...it seems"
SWING AT THAT DAMNIT
100,564,844,568,565,825,129,356,564,842=

Number of Angels LOB today.

If JR hits it out he's not allowed to admire it
how much more down the middle ya want, Juan????
It seems we lost our magic against the Yanks

Maybe we relocated it against the Sawkz?

FAIL ANGELS FAIL

See you in the batting cages tomorrow boys

"they had the chance but didn't execute"

understatement of the year

Hey, that's my Mission Statement
Failvera
K-fest...

A team that ran out of gas on the 41st day.

Boy, they shut off the HD really quick when the game is over.
That whole inning torii and kendry were swinging at balls
same exact gane as yesterday...

every opportunity to blow this thing out, but none taken! Damn!

Top 5 worst games of the season
so sick at the lack of clutchness
this whole series the team has NOOOOOOOOOO plate discipline Torii and Kendry both should have walked
They did take 5 walks today

16 base runners in all. Just couldn’t cash in.

Well it did not look like it in the last 3 innings Kendry torii and aybar were swinging at everything short of it almost hitting them in the head
Enjoy the much-needed off day Halos!

what a brutal stretch on the schedule. Relax and don’t think of baseball for the next 36 hours. I know I get tired of my job after 2 hours into a 40-hour work-week.

Im sick of macier it seems everytime there are bases loaded or clutch situation he never gets it done now a days
sorry to continue posting this...

but did you realize they just wrapped up their 40th game in 41 days? Yes, they are millionaires, but man, that’s brutal.

I say play howie everyday izturis sucks
He does not suck. Your memory is very short.
Nuts.

I’m thinking BOTG goes to anyone who batted w/RISP.

lately he has not been hitting clutch look at the boston series the only decent game he has had in a while was last night
Last year he was very clutch all of a sudden it has disappeared
If we had him last year in the postseason i think we win the world series the way he was so good in situations
