Halos Heaven

BUCK MARTINEZ just ran down stairs to do some whiiiiiite lines

with ron ron

Hamilton will be joining them shortly

"pitch is a ball"

as it sits in the strike zone lol

I like how they keep calling Rangers Ballpark one of the "most picturesque ballparks in the league"

They’re really reaching for material. If you compiled a list of the most picturesque ballparks in the league, I highly doubt anyone would vote RBIA anywhere near the top 10.

No kidding

That place looks like crap.

Yah, it is not a nice park.

feels so contrived. No real baseball ambiance.

It looks like a practice field that crashed into a Mississippi River Boat

reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehab

needs a quick pick me up

hamilton has crackhead strength

to carry so many baseball players for a season

Outs, please.

c'mon Davis

walking hamilton

so vlad can first pitch swing and ground out

i like it

i dont even know how hamilton can concentrate

with all those white chalk lines on the field.

it;s just not fair

crap

well, here comes the 5 run homer

Come on Davis

if wade throws that last pitch 3 times to vlad

he gets out of this jam

steeeeeeeeeeeeerike

that was a ball 2 batters ago lol.

Rangers/Rays

Got the worst officiating crew of the playoffs so far

That was a strike Vladdy

thats the best pitch vlad will see

and he’s crying about it like a dummy

stay hard and in

dont let him doink one

that's why they make the big bucks

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

FLAILDIMIR

CHOKEDIMIR

SHITSTAINDIMIR

Thanks Vlad...again!

I was a little afraid there

Ha, ha, but Vlad was never much of a clutchy hitter anyway.

clutch does not exist in this dojo

antlers

jazz fingers

sweet shirts lolz

Are the Rays mocking

the ‘claw’ and ‘antlers’?

Love ya Big Daddy

But thanks for that.

Sonnanstine was just doing the antlers. Sweet

What are those antlers even supposed to me?

Besides “we’re dumb yokels,” which is what it means to the rest of America.

hamilton has a big deer head above his locker

the jazz fingers are for plays involving speed? to taunt all the drug users on the team

Hamilton has a mounted deer aboce his locker and it all started with that I think.

Are you shitting me?

You couldn’t have come up with a better example of fulfilling stereotypes if you hired a committee.

Rec'd

Antlers = acknowledgement for play whyere speed was key

(Hamilton hunts)

Claw = long distance high five.

Say what?

Then what’s the sign for a play in which cocaine was key?

maze88 - October 10, 2010 via mobile reply

"The Spoon"?

I love the mocking of the antlers sign.

Is that what the handprint on the t-shirts is?

that's the claw

I must have missed the explanation of why?

It is like a long distance "high five" between the Rangers players

from the dugout to players doing something good on the field.

oh ok. it just looks dumb on a shirt.

Attention Angels: Do not do a shirt as stupid as the rangers have right now.

Don't need a shirt

We sell badass rally monkeys

A.k.A. what the Angels have been doing for years and the rangers stole..

Nolan Ryan looks sad

Nolan Ryan doesn't look very happy

All this antler talk just reminded me of that stupid moose in seattle that broke his ankles on roller blades or w/e

I would like to call this video to all of your attention

I like that SUCK is even in the URL.

and now for something completely awesome

“swallow sadness … send some faxes”

what a STUPID video

I could only take 30 seconds of that before I had to close the window

crap

good job Madden - time for a change

Maddon is pushing his luck with Davis now.

Thanks to commercials on TBS

I now want to start a vineyard

do the claw

like a boss

choate, but i can't help but say chode

need a DP please

I hope Scioscia is watching this how managers play match ups with thier bullpen.

Helps to actually have a lefty specialist

Would you be in favor of us signing Scott Downs?

Depends on the circumstances

He’s a solid reliever, but I’d never give him closer money. That would repeat the Fuentes mistake.

His 2010 3.03 FIP is great

but significantly lower than his career numbers

(-_-)

i have a chode … haha so funny

wheres_bourjos_at - October 10, 2010 reply

hickey removed chode

rawr

claws

Umm, that was a strike

Of course it results in a run

SHIT

moreland does a good job keeping it fair

lol, did he huff and puff and blow it fair?

'nother out please.

Thank you!

ok - no more runs for Texas though - do you hear me - NO MORE

The Rays might be willing to give them more runs

At an exchange rate of 2 to 1.

if we sign CC

i’m going to hav to change my screen name to crawfords goofy stance ;)

wheres_bourjos_at - October 10, 2010 reply

Lol...

His stance bugs me sometimes bcuz it’s like he’s getting ready to run but he’s still batting

maze88 - October 10, 2010 via mobile reply

Wagner

Career over

Sad

He was planning to retire at seasons' end

but still kinda sad. Reminds me of Shieldsy..

maze88 - October 10, 2010 via mobile reply

sort of a bummer for Wagner

NICE catch Pena

Big claw for you, Young!

great job Vlad

Claw for Big Daddy!

Yeahhh Evan

nice throw

clawr

Hey Maddon and Scioscia were battling for the most different lineups in a season

Benoit and then Soriano time

Precisely zero of those pitches to Johnson were in the strike zone

WOW, that looked like it was gone for sure

thank the wind for that out

what no oday chant today?

They don't care about this game anymore

The Cowboys are about to get started.

Are there people at the game with those annoying horns from the World Cup?

I've only heard the horns a couple of times

c'mon Soriano

Do NOT walk the 9th inning lead-off!

Are you Fernando Rodney?

1 out

NICE catch CC

2 outs. Nice catch Crawford

claw

get the first guy

like a boss

get the second

like a boss

got the last guy

like a boss

pump my fist

like a boss

slap some fives

like a boss

NICE

Headed back to Florida

GAME 5!

Do it Rays

big collapse

just saved it for the alds

whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite
liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiines

All the Rangers fans look so sad

someone go over to the Rays blog

and tell them to show up for their teams game and not let the ranger fans outnumber them.

There aren't any Ranger fans

Just Texans who got lost on their way to the Cowboys game.

true about the fans - they are actually bandwagoners

looks like tomahawks were given out

Buster Posey!

They're booing Posey? Seriously?

That was closer to a strike than the strike

bounding balls

more dangerous than bouncing ones

This has been a fantastic series so far

OUCH

Brooks Conrad sucks so much

wow it got quiet in here

very quiet

Too quiet

less filling...

Lowlights of Ankiel fail...

This may be OLD news but...

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — The USA Baseball Pan American Qualifying Team held off Venezuela, 6-3, on Saturday in a game decided in the 12th inning by the international extra-inning tiebreaker rule.
Under the international tiebreaker rule, established before the 2008 Olympics, each team starts the inning anywhere in the lineup it chooses with runners on first and second. U.S. manager Ernie Young began the inning with his eighth and ninth hitters — Brian Barden (Marlins) and Chase d’Arnaud (Pirates) — at second and first and Mike Trout at bat. The former first-round pick reached on a fielder’s choice, with Barden safe at third on a close play. With the bases loaded, Pacheco doubled to left, scoring Barden and d’Arnaud. The U.S. wasn’t done, however, as Texas League MVP Mike Moustakas (Royals) was intentionally walked to load the bases. After Brad Eldred (Rockies) flied out, Royals prospect Eric Hosmer hit a grounder to first baseman Javier Colina, who stepped on first but threw wildly to the plate, allowing Trout and Pacheco to score.

TROUT POWER: Trout led off the game with his second home run of the tournament. The blast to center field traveled approximately 415 feet. The 19-year-old Angels prospect slugged 10 homers this season during stints with Class A Cedar Rapids and Class A Advanced Rancho Cucamonga.

LINKIE

oh, and...

Team USA, which faces Canada (4-3, 2-3) on Sunday at 2 p.m. ET at Hiram Bithorn Stadium in San Juan. Monday marks the final second-round game for the U.S. when it takes on Cuba at 7:30 p.m. at Paquito Montaner Stadium in Ponce.

So evidently, USA beat Canada 4-0 and Trout hit another HR

LINKIE

Come on Braves, score runs

Think they might settle for a hit to start with?

;)

Ya, that's probably a good idea

No, please don't.

;-)

Clutch - October 10, 2010 reply

Who's on first?

Buster Posey!

Haha, Hudson broke up the no hitter

too funny!

I hate that chant

tits

who is winning?

DAD OF VLAD - October 10, 2010 reply

Giants

They could have set a Guiness World Record for most people holding toy tomahawks

there today.

Nothing in comparison

To our Snuggie record

The Braves better hope that the tomahawks don't jinx them.

want a boigah

Mini sirloin?

country boy - in Atlanta GA - Really?

It's helpful when batters swing like Vladdy

i.e. at pitches that bounce on the plate

that was a BAD swing

Come on Braves

Wow

The Atlanta crowd is very excited, considering how little they’ve done offensively today.

They haven't missed a chop.

GLAUS!

Ha, the post-season is littered with former Angels.

No Glaus :(

Brooks Conrad can't do anything right

wow

HINSKE!!!

Hinske determined to get to the World Series for like the 4th year in a row

We need to sign him somehow

Jonathan Sanchez is pissed

The postseason hasn't been kind to Romo.

Touchdown Titans!

Eric Hinske AGAIN?

Does Hinske ever get hits that don't score runs late in games?

crap

I'll Huff and I'll puff... until I tie up this game.

"...until I tie this game up" would have rhymed better

But I get the point. For me, I rootin’ for the CA team.

Yay me too!

Clutch - October 10, 2010 reply

Yeah, it makes Atheletics Nation even angrier.

Why didn't the Braves just go to Saito?

Brooks Conrad is so bad

Wow

Conrad is fucking terrible

He's just trying to make the Reds feel better

The wheels are coming off the cart

Buster Posey to the rescue.

I'm pretty sure there is still pressure in the 7th and 8th inning guys.

A true emotional roller coaster for the players and the fans

This has been a fantastic series

Come on Wilson, blow it

This strikezone is very unique

agree

Do the Giants relievers use the same barbershop beard example?

I'm sure they use the same bottle of beard dye.

jet black

at least it's only game 3

Crap

agree

Brooks Conrad will be burning in effigy tonight

At a minimum, they'll be checking his glove for holes.

Look at that stadium...

THEY know their team color.

+1

Green? I can't tell!

I know you are being facetious, but I can't help but saying...

Sounds like you need to go to Howard’s.

More baseball.

Go Reds.

Howard is killing it in the playoffs

Really Orlando?

just saw a "free pete" shirt

Reds should be worrying about the "one pete" first

Stubbs was out

Looked out but I'll take it

wow nice catch by victorino

do most people in here want the Reds to win?

I do

I have a new word for an error: A Brooks Conrad

As in “Wow, Mathis just committed another Brooks Conrad behind the plate! How premium!”

Wow, Cabrera got a massage

Score some Runs Reds

Holy shit, giant numbers!

If we traded for Ryan Howard,

How would the competition play out for the flat-screen TV sponsorship?

I think Subway has exclusive rights to bad commercials featuring Ryan Howard

is anyone still here?

Back for the end of the game

Which appears will come all too quickly

it looks that way

Last chance

Well crud

hey guys pardon my ignorance

But I heard ryan had the fastest MPH on a fastball in documented history.. Is that accurate.. And if so did chapman break that?… I kno stadiums bump up the radar gun.. We all saw that on Totally Bias Station (TBS).

wheres_bourjos_at - October 10, 2010 via mobile reply

I didn't hear that he had the fastest fastball. I thought Chapman had it.

Nolan Ryan has had his record broken

A long long time ago by many people. Chapman is the current leader.

We know how the Reds feel don't we.

at least how their fans feel.

Oh yeah.

Complete lack of hitting in post-season play resulting in quick elimination.

Anyway - it's been fun spending the day here. Tomorrow game 4 of Giants vs Braves.
