Dooohhhhh Bobby

I saw a play at the plate happening big guy

Don't think too many here saw that ab ending all that well

Santana was gassed

So are we resigning bobby?
depends on the money
Bad D!
yea but that is an understandable play

he has to charge to try and get the runner, he can’t lay back for a good hop there

I officially hate this game
I think we just really don't want to sweep the season series.

So we’re intentionally throwing this one.

It's a solid theory
i'd agree

if the getaway day lineup was in there

good velocity from ervin

but that slider looking awfully fat when it’s anywhere near the strike zone

Gameday had that fastball Butler hit at 97

too bad it was up…

it looked really good when he just focused on getting it down in the zone

and wasn’t really worried about which side of the plate it was on

can we get a little rally?

pretty please

By the way: Doug F’ing Eddings just ran Manny from the Dodger game, lol

my two favoritest people in MLB
what happened?
Questionable strike zone by Eddings (duh)

Then Manny swings and misses strike 3, he throws bat and helmet and says the magic words to Dougie. Kind of a quick trigger, but Manny must have said the right thing, only two words probably.

If it was "those" two words

fair comment when applied to Edd^&%s

checking in...

3 errors?

Hasn't been a good day for us defensively.
1-6-3 double play ball in the 1st led to 2 runs

kendry had 1, led to no runs.
bobby booted one last inning, may have had a play at the plate

or offensively...

and the pitchings kinda sucked.

why did Wright stop throwing fastballs right down the middle?
Figgy being a warrior up there.
such a great ab

I’d resign him

Nice AB Figgy...

hadn’t had a hit in awhile, bet that felt good!

nice ab

now lets string together 6 singles

Way to battle, Figgy!

great AB…

damn if that wasnt one of the best AB's I've ever followed........
Let's go Gazooooooo

rally time

F*********************************

@#@#% $#$!

yeah, what he said ^^
unreal

un friggin real

Damn, Howie coulda done that!

:((

howie

deserves to be starting.

That's how it's done, Ervin...

in case you were wondering.

mICE tits is officially gassed on this road trip
Can't give Macier this many starts

in a row without a breather.

Howie was in last night.
maicer hitting .250 over the last 30 days, .283 post all star break

howie hitting .350 over the last 30, .373 since the all star break

I'd rather have Howie in there too
hmmmm I dunno

I can’t decide.

Bobby does KC again

Nice stroke Chups

that did not look pretty
CHUPA!

If only there were someone on base!

At least bobbyis playin
Abreu seems to be out of his slump. Which is a good sign.
Bobby may have boo-boo'd but he's made up for it
Sure would like to put up a 2 spot at least here...
big daddy vladdy is due for a whopper
I'll also take a dinger
Royale with cheese
Would be nice if Macier would just strike out...

so we’d have someone on for Abreu.

ouch

that was a hanger….

+1

big FAT hanger

Vlad of old please surface

and go yard

it's time, Vladdy....
Wright tempting Vlad...

with pitches in the dirt.

Vlad takes FIVE SUCCESSIVE PITCHES
When is the last non-intentional time that Vlad took 5 straight pitches????
when the Big Cat helped him out for a few weeks one of his first years with the Angels

is my guess

our team BA

falling down,
 falling down,
falling down
  
our team BA
falling down,
we need Vladdy…

Team ERA is plummeting just in time
Patience is a virtue
Come on, Torii....

3 run shot right here!

Some of 'yall sound like a whole passle of Rangers fans

there’s no crying in halos heaven

best Corona commercial...

EVER!!!

+1

thinking the same thing!

Farnswhorth's glasses are from the future
lol

at screaming girl……….

Yeah baby, I prefer the Miller High Life commercials
Need more Halo fans...

like the KC ‘screaming girl’

infantile

they are showing highlights of infants in the stands from this weekend series because it is an infantile broadcast.

anyone drop a carrot today?
Donnelly has been the coolest dude in glasses
Torii, nice hit

Damn Gazoo and the DP…

man if Maicer just would have struck out.....
I got a fever...
D U L A

wit da HULA

Make 'em pay, Kendry...
1st pitch again BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
first pitch swinging

K-Mo

Chip-chip-chipping.
"lets follow him and see"

and then proceed to show no replay of it

BAM BAM

Te quiero chico

Johnny Rivers

pls hit!

Did two players just come up lame on the same play????

HOw is KMo not on 2nd? and VLaddy’s ?

struggling with the CaPs kEy
Soth must be bogarting all the pedialight
Vlad always looks hurt running

Kendry just looks like he got a bad jump pout of the box

Dude, relax, they're fine.

Vlad was doing his gimp thing, and Morales just wasn’t feeling confident after getting gunned down earlier.

i had a dream about rivera last night

and i asked him what his bat smells like

Johnny Angel is ready to explode

I meant implode

Oh, man, he smoked it too.

Nuts.

Bat sniffer

warning track smoke

7th inning stretch time

Root Root Root for the ANGELS

if they don't win it's a shame
but not a f***ing disaster
Are you playing to win the game???
Dang. Drop shot.
Got my wish...was hoping for a 2 spot in that inning...

…two more innings to score 3 runs…

Damn grenade by Callaspo

The 7th inning shouldn't be the only time you stretch

Ben Gay takes care of all your sore muscles and joints. Ask for it by name at any local Walgreen’s!

To rejuvenate Juanny, he needs himself a jersey nite…..

Agreed, the Latin player coaster didn't do him justice
Good call, he touched it.
I liked the xmo on that...

you could see the spin of the ball change direction!

Cool...don't see that play everyday

:P

After the game,

I’m going to burn that Billy butler RC card…

I'm liking Ollie out of the pen

He’s going to be our dark horse go to guy in the playoffs.

like Jered Weaver last year?
Voodoo will also bolster the pen in the post season
racist, ban
why?

everyone in OC is a racist, including Angels fans in the view of one local columnist

Angels fans? Why?
because we never really warmed to K-Rod

don’t you remember the big deal about it earlier this off season?

or any worse than Hud saying "the monkeys woke up"
"dark horse"

/sarcasm

I know I was just playing along

and poorly I might admit, my bad

OT: Carpenter w/ 1 hitter...
i hope it's a Red World Series, Halos vs Red Birds
I want the Giants again
i want the dodgers
that's a double edged sword though

if we lost that we’d NEVER hear the end of it

Boring, seriously?

For variety’s sake the Trolley Dodgers

Angels Vs. rockies

Fuck the ratings!

I still think the Rockies were one of the best teams we played this year
We'd be spoiled having to travel to Chavez Ravine

to celebrate a parade from Main St to Katella would be lovely

let's go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ummmmm,

K3YEROUT

How did the runner get to 2nd btw?

my wife told me the batter was called out for running into the ball

Just wondering here...

but with it being early September and all…couldn’t Soth find someone to give a blow against KC to let Woody play? I mean really!

get this guy D-nasty
Be careful with what you wish for, it could've been worse: Q instead of Bam Bam
fizz loves his media guide
Where did THAT miss?
Nice play Figgs.
Ump missed that 2nd pitch big time

NICE PLAY BY FIGGY!

score some runs
I'm thinking I like 2 mo runs plz!
red floyd signing in late
What is a Roman Colon?
it is an empty space

if you use the vomitorium with any frequency

ohhhhhhh, yeah, that’s what I thought…thanks! :)

half of a Bartolo Colon...
Sweet! Pinch hitter for Mathis!

Oh wait it’s GMJ.

GMJ for Mathis...

hmmm

apparently Howie can only hit lefties

or so it would appear

so can

GMJ, so I don’t know what the point of that switch is.

An out is an out, Mathis or GMJ
Mathis coulda done that!
HGH worthless as usual...

Ho hum

PHing matthews for mathis

is like trying to cure cancer with AIDS

that was productive
2 ridiculously quick outs

and Soria waiting in the wings …

Figgy has to have a magnet on him that repels balls from the strikezone

that’s the only explanation pitchers fall behind and walk him so much

They also don't want him to single because they fear his speed.
NIce Figgy

double

good news

Maicer cannot hit into a DP

that was a nice play by Willie
difference

royals have gotten that drop-in on the first batter of the inning, not the batter up with 2 outs and the bases empty.

Nice job Maicer

that was great

Mice tits on ice…. :(

shoot

Maicer needs some pine for Howie IMO

How about waiting for your pitch, Izzy?
Mice Tits

heading for some major blame

1PS... really Maicer?
that sucked

maybe howie can play more than twice a week now.

Would also like to see HK play more vs. righties
or maybe PH instead of MATTHEWS

might be a good idea too

Abreu, Vlad, Hunter

we might have a chance. Maybe

BOTG

Izturis. Gosh, he’s been horrible

The 2 DPs by themselves are awful
BOTG=KC BBQ

the team’s seriously lagging

When Figgins gets on base 4 times and has zero runs

It’s time to put some blame on the #2 hitter

No doubt

Maicer is running away with blame of the game right now.

jose speier

has a homerun problem

Who's this Butler dude?
The lone offensive bright spot the Royals have.
Here's hoping Texas loses
Checking in

9th inning rally!

What would be your entrance music, if you were a closer?
Welcome to my nightmare
Indestructible.
PYT

Just kidding, I’m a cocky SOB. I would chose “Bad to he Bone”

Joakim Soria seems tough

But not invincible

Noice one, Bobby
I'm thinking Vlad's arms hurt too much to swing...

never taken this many pitches in a row

Vlad just took 9 pitches in a row...

counting his last AB

Vlad walked on 4 pitches.

No, really. He did.

Vlad has now taken NINE successive pitches
We should probably check to see if he's got the swine flu
bloop & a blast time
umm..

pinch runner? why are we leaving the gimpy DH on 1st base?

his run doesn't mean anything

if it went to extras you really want Willits batting for Vlad?

Exactly

If he was the tying or winning run, obviously we would pinch run.

You weren't calling that a second ago you jerk.
eh?
Strike 2 to Hunter wasn't a strike to Vlad.
i didn't know who you were talking about...
outside on Gameday
JAGUAR

of the game… Billy Butler. pretty prophetic I thought (they announced it right before his 2nd HR)

cmon lousy single
Vladdy steals a base

On a fielder’s indifference

which is not a steal

IIRC

oh well, the Under wins either way.

We need back-to-back HRs
Why are you sucking so bad, Torii???
The calls he didn't get were not helping.
dude's playing hurt

I guarantee his back is aching.

not making an excuse, just stating a fact. and not a major injury. but I predict GMJ starts for him the next game, just to give it a rest.

Ball game

3 of 4 ain’t bad. D:

Flail AND FAIL!
um.

why did phyz get excited when K-Mo k’d?

Well that sucked.

Should we all go into a LSB orgy of swearing and suicide threats?

I prefer just chillin.
+1

let’s not resort to LSB-esque behavior. that’s just wrong.

FULL OF FAIL

Crappy game

Kendry was unhappy.
leaving 6 on base can do that to you.
6? Try 11
Actually we left 22 men on base in total

That’s rough

well I'd take 3 out of 4 any series....

so no harm there

A lil help from Cle would be nice though.

IMO this game is a gimme for the Rangers

They’re facing a not-so-great pitcher.

Might hit a roadblock with Laffey though. He’s been on recently.

I vote Santana BOTG

it’s one thing to hit the ball into dps, but Santana looked like a little leaguer in the 1st on two occasions. Everyone knows just throw the ball over the bag, never lead a runner. Then he couldn’t even cover 1st. Get your head in the game.

Yard work time...

I’ll take 3 of 4 and let’s kick some Felix ass tomorrow at home!

So...

I would prefer to see Howie in the lineup with Maicer getting the spot starts, not the other way around. I also would hit Vlad 3rd, Kendry 4th, and Torii 5th.

I wouldn't have Vlad at third

Third is for someone who doesn’t GIDP often, since a walk or single from either #1 or #2 would not add any extra outs for the team.

Extra outs = more chances for good hitters to hit
