hello

hello, hello…….

hi...
best start time ever
we're brimming with activity!
People

Are still listening to the radio show

we can actually hear about the Angels

Unlike our so called “Home of the Angels” KLAA.

Cody Ross is brutalizing the Phillies

What is going on.

He's the playoff hero for the Giants, no doubt about it.
Go Giants!

and Go Yankees!

That would be a great WS matchup.

I absolutely will never say Go Ya... Go Yank.... err... what you said...

But I agree that Yankees/Giants would be a good World Series. I want the Giants to win it all, and I don’t care who they face out of the AL, but I think the Giants Fans will enjoy it more against the Yankees.

I hate saying it too,

but I hate Texas that much more . . .

First base... Bugs Bunny. Second base... Bugs Bunny. Etc.

The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant! Etc.

I can't believe they're putting AJ Burnett out there

He’s almost as bad as Kazmir. No joke.

Not bad so far.
Which team has more former Halos? Skanks or Rangers?

I forgot that the Skanks picked up Mosely

Vlad looked really bad at that at bat.
Vlad's looked really bad most of the postseason
How do the umpires not even look at that homer?

I mean it was borderline, to not even look at it? Fan interference is reviewable right?

I believe so. It was certainly close, but I don't get how they didn't check it out
That was ridiculous. I'm rooting for the Yankees because I don't want the Rangers in the WS.

But still! I can’t root for the Yankees in this case, especially with their assy fans.

The fan interfered with Cruz by hitting his glove but the ball was further up above them in the stands.
Tommy Hunter serving up meatballs
And that one looked foul
Hunter is the hunted.
I hate the skankees and their skankee fans
I really have never

encountered any obnoxious Yankee fans at the big A. They have always been polite, respectful of the home team and just liked talking about baseball. As for the Red Sox and Dodgers, their fans are annoying as hell.

in ny and in anaheim

yankees fans have never treated me bad.

then again, i’m not a pooos so that could be a factor

Same here . . .

I went to (old) Yankee Stadium wearing Angels gear and they didn’t bother me at all.

They probably felt sorry for you.
Probably,

It was pre-2002.

Was it the Disney era uniforms?
Dodger "Cholo" fans

are probably the most annoying. I say bcuz they don’t know squat about baseball and “their” team. I once shut my co-worker’s boyfriend up by confusing the hell outta him. I always wear my on field cap and whenever he sees me he yell ANGELS SUCK! A couple of days later I decided to wear my ‘61 Cooperstown cap and he didn’t know WTH it was. Lol Just don’t tell them that the Dodgers are from Brooklyn.

OMG Jeter is the greatest ever!
he's better than any of our collection of MI "talent"
you know uh, i want some crack uh, you know, juss tryinado what we gonna do

to try and you know, get sum runz ya know, uhm, you think them white foul lines is coke?

A-Rod got pegged?

Now this game is starting to get interesting.

Bengie is probably trying to comfort Hunter by promising to save some food for him after the game
Swisher - Whiffer.
Yankees are letting the Rangers off easy.
Is Juan Rivera available to pinch hit for the Skanks?

I’d like to see a DP.

Thanks for showing up Tommy
Time for some chow.
TBS must be pissed

That wasn’t a cheap camera

That was a really nice play by Andrus

With a broken bat coming at your face as well. Jeez.

Teixeira is overrated defensively
He actually had a very weak year at first according to UZR
Andrus is like a better Aybar
Walking guys in front of Hamilton is not a good idea AJ
im guessing girardi is waiting for this 3 run bomb

before taking burnett out.

good strategery

Lol at that fan
im rooting so hard for a 3 run bomb

just so that yankee fan can have his life ruined

Dang thats cold lol
Steve Bartman 2.0
Yay fat Yankee fan.
he got so lucky he didnt cost them their

he woulda been bbq fat man

damn

that was a filthy pitch.

throw it again

That fan is very happy now
hamilton has looked terrible this series

2 homeruns aside, he’s just lazily throwing his bat out there, which is enough to go deep in either stadium i guess

the homerun he hit last night looked like he was barely swinging at it.
Good they need to hurry up and lose this series like we did last year.
isn't he still banged up?

But is healthy enough to play?

DJ ballin like MJ tonight.

SWISH!!!
Ballin!!!

could get a cycle?
here come the MFY to put away the one-ace Rangers.
That was an awkward slide
Imaginary dog bit him in the hamstring.
Yankees got Berkman on the bench

Must be nice.

U-Haul blew out a wheel
Ha Ha

Tex is down

he hasn't really done anything anyway
Not Funny

I don’t like seeing anyone get hurt even if it’s Youk-a-douce and Rat Boy Pedroia.

I do.

Have you seen this slide?

Looks like Swishalicious will be moving to 1t
teix hasn't done jack

they are better off with fat elvis and thames

Lol @ Fat Elvis

Loves it

I hope he asked permission to get hurt.
haha

he always wanted to get injured in NY

U-haul never was good for much in the post season anyway.
singles

and obp

willits can do that

hey even Wood can do that - sometimes
Yay!

The fans that nest in New York.

nice

i love the fat dude just chanting f you over and over.

Dude took taunting classes from John Cena.
A-Rod is awful.
How much do Teixeira and A-Rod make combined a season?

All that money and nowhere to be seen when it matters most.

they just said Tex is 0-14 in this series.
Tex and A-Rod made a combined $52 million in 2010

source

52 Mill for those pretenders SMDH
Thats why Jeter is having a good night at the dish.

He has to represent for his Boss on team Jordan

TRAGEDY

i burned my s’mores pop tarts

But I doubt it was more tragic than that last inning. At least according to the announcers
RIP s'mores pop tarts

we hardly knew thee

what a waste of a great pop tart...
im still eating them

not the worst 400 calories i’ve had, but i’d be lying if i said i wasn’t going to cook two more

Tex may be done for this year's postseason.
Yankee collapse in 5...4..3...2...1....
-1,-2,-3,-4.....
Deejay was counting in minutes

be patient

Be patient it will come.
And it has!!!!
did that bitch just give himself the antlers?

,lol

Nice intentional ball AJ
Oh nice one AJ
GIRARDI IS BLOWING THIS
there was our token Angels post-season clip
I don't wanna think about what coulda been in 05.
at least they didn't mention that part
YOU CALLED IT
Meant for deejayelleseven
It was only a matter of time before the Rangers made the Yankees pay.

Just can’t let the Rangers stay in ballgames when you have the chance to put them away you do it.

BOOOM BOOOOOOM MOLINA

i knew a 3 run dong was coming, just thought it would have been last inning

I love hearing yankee fans boo their team
Id boo to after spending all that damn money only having 1 WS to show for recently.
WOW

What timing after that montage… lols

Good luck Angel Molina homerun mojo there.
Bengie's tired of the "he's so slow" jokes.

Try to catch him now, New Yorkers.

Its a wonder we ever got rid of him.
lol at girardi

announcers sticking up for him.

He's their hero
of course they are....

this is NOT what MLB wants

i love watching molina run in slow mo
that isn't slow mo
Beat me to it

that doesn’t happen very often but hey GMTA

Wait, that was slow mo?
That would mean he appears to be stopped.
Chubby Molina FTW!
Sabathia 2010 salary: $23 million

Burnett 2010 salary: $16.5 million

Hilarious
To add further insult to the Yanks

Derek Holland 2010 salary: $414 thousand

and we bitch about Kazmir.
Boo-hoo Fart Texiera
more reviews of teix going 0/14 and faking an injury

than bengie’s gigantic go ahead 3 run homer

What do you expect? It's TBS!
If the Yanks make it to the WS

FOX will be talking about how courageous they are for making it this far without the beloved Teixeira

at least Joe Buck will...

oh wait he’s in love with Jeter.

If Jeter got hurt tonight

His get well card to him would already be in the mail

Benny

Were we forced to break up that 2002 team?

They brought back virtually the entire team for 2003.

But only won 77they games.
That’s when Arte shook things up with a free agent spending binge (Vlad, Colon, Escobar, Guillen)

Crap. They only won 77 games.
as much as i love baseball

i won’t watch a rangers giants WS.

make the call uncle bud

But you'll watch a Yankee/Phillie world series?
the best and only teams involved in this post season

they should just start the series now

Giants winning the WS means

Angry A’s and Dodgers fans= Win Win

Oh, sweet and glorious justice.
Stick a fork in the Yankees their done.

Their lucky to have won a game in this series.

Girardi's Taco Bell stock just tanked.
Ryan's wife looks bored out of her mind.
She married for the money

She hates baseball

Shes happy she got to go shopping today it's cool
Bengie Molina

Top 100 Angel, Top 2 Ranger

MVP of the series.
Nice lefty specialist New York
Yankees being beaten in consecutive playoff games at home

I’m lovin’ it

I wonder if the fans will leave early again
Yankee ownership is furious right now.

They’re threatening to turn the Yankee roster into a human centipede.

They will have to sign Lee now if just for pure spite against the Rangers.
wish we could get him - for pure spite against the rangers.
Lee to the Yanks is pretty much a done deal

From the Associated Press published July 9, 2010.

"Cliff Lee and CC Sabathia were convinced they were about to become teammates again.
How much? THEIR WIVES WERE ALREADY TALKING ABOUT PLACES TO LIVE IN NEW YORK."
(I added the shouting.)

Think about it Angel fans!
Recall the power of Mrs. Teixeira and Mrs. Lackey during free agent negotiations. ;-)

Now mull over:
Mega free agent cash + New York City shopping for Mrs. Lee

It’s over. Done. Other teams need not even bid.
He’ll sign with the Yankees.

I hope you are wrong
You want the Rangers to keep Lee?
No, but I don't want the Yanks to get him either.
So let's hope he retires and rides off into the sunset, after this season.
I think the Yanks will end up giving Lee a 7-year contract

Which no other team will match.

All of these rediculous contracts

Will eventually bit them in the ass

hamilton has what, 3 hits this series?

all homers, all on half baked swings, all against lefties

Another former Angel?

Vlad something?

i love how vlad calls time

he makes the T sign, lol

Dude, he don't speak English.

He has to opt for the international hand signal.

he does too!

he looked at the umpire last night and said “LOW”

No, he was saying "Lo" as in "Lo Siento"

(I’m sorry.)

Remember when Yankee fans thought Joba was good?
I remember him being built up as the Yankees future ace when he was in the minors
joba = jepsen/bulger/arredondo/speier
JOBA

Jepsen/Oliver/Bulger/Arredondo

Fixed!

seeing yankee fans do the facepalm is priceless
It would have been 10x priceless to see it in 2009.
I still hate Kinsler
Fuck these greaseballs who watch baseball in a suit.
OH NO NOT AGAIN
but it is Patrick Wilson this time
I have never heard of this guy
1000x's better than last night
sheewwww at least it wasn't that granddaughter
Its ok it's not GSB's granddaughter
Id be slightly impressed if this was some random kid from a highschool singing.
don't know why

but Ranger offense reminds me of ours in 2002. frenzy hitting, speed game and they can hit it deep…..and they might get the giants. ;)

Sucks for the Giants then
Overheard at Pinhead Alley...

“This Rangers team is playing like the Angels teams that knocked us out of the playoffs”

“2002, you mean? That would be kind of an eerie parallel…we won Game 1 in dramatic fashion, then dropped the next three”

“A.J. gave him a pitch that wasn’t even in the strike zone, Benjie just pulled it”

“Right after they show a montage of the Angels killing us”

“WE ARE SO FUCKING FUCKED”

I'm glad they remember the pain

We inflicted upon them

That rendition of God Bless America was much better than yesterday's...

which reminded of, and I just played for my daughter, Rosanne Barr’s disgraceful rendition of the National Anthem twenty years ago at San Diego. My guess is the guy that booked her was fired.

I doubt he was fired...

she was “family” and that’s what happens when you let “family” who can’t sing try to sing.

So the Yankees have to beat Cliff Lee to advance, if they even make it that far. Good luck with that guys
I dont know what everyone is happy about.

Do you realize how much more of an asshole bunch the ranger fans will be next year?

They never one a thing and they were pretty close to being the worst thing in sports.

(won)
That will make it all the more fun when we take the season series.
but if they get killed by the Giants - that will be sweet.

There is no way I can even want the skankees to advance.

This ranger team is going to win the WS.

their bats are on fire and their SP will continue to deal.

They won't beat the Giants.
They'll smash the giants.
You'd overlook the Giants pitching?
I think these bats are too hot

and the giants offense is too impotent.

Those Giants are scrappy fuckers, that’s for sure.

I hope im wrong.

But for some reason, jesus hates me this year.

And the rangers will win, and i’ll be F’n miserable.

I agree - Texas wins, although by then I'm switching to rooting for the Giants.
Yep, as much as I hate the Yankees, I hate the Rangers even more.

it’s really a lesser of two evils thing though, when the World Series starts, I’m rooting for the NL.

for me - I hate the yankees more.

But I too will be rooting for the NL in the WS.

Damn I Hate the Rangers

How in the hell can they win.

anyone can have a good "year". We'll see what happens whey they don't have Lee.
seriously TBS you really think Molina is going to steal 2nd?
ohhh please it was Molina running - cano didn't do anything impressive on that play
I wanted to blow my head off listening to joe morgan earlier today
You listened to him on purpose?
hah.

on the drive home from work.

Him and miller argued for 5 minutes about the cano home run. It was possibly the most awful announcing ive ever heard.

I think it just gets worse when you have to listen to Joe Buck.
at least buck isnt announced as Hall Of Famer Joe Buck

after every god damn commercial break.

Did they really just say Cano should win the Gold Glove????

http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=3269&position=2B

TBS you suck

yes they did - and they said it on a play involving Molina... hahahahah
I could have been driven to the airport, landed in NY,

Gotten a taxi to Yankee stadium, ran out onto the field, tackled and arrested before Molina made it to 2nd base on that play.

But did you see that jump throw???
He batted .319 and plays alongside the Jeett

Eventually the press will notice his totally awesomeness. And this is the post season that clinches his award.

Mass exodus if the yankees don't score in this inning.
How about a

Grand salami time for the leaders in comebacks this year?…

Spotted over NY and then Texas?

’splain this if you can…

Stan Fullham predicted that.

Very interesting that he got it right.

Clouds of intestinal gas

sit next to Benjie & CC at a Hometown Buffet if you want to see more

You'd think He's learn from game 1. U suck Ron Washington.
Come on Swisher
Darren Oliver give up a dinger here?
Please and thank you
I wonder if TBS gives him a bonus for every pitching change (more commercials).
if by "bonus" you mean cocain

then yes

walking the bases loaded. What a joke.
sounds like Angels baseball
that's why we need pitchers who don 't walk guys. our BB/9 this season was horrific.
Darren Oliver again huh...
this could get ugly
Does the Texas bullpen do anything other than shit the bed?
a F-Rodney moment would be nice right about now
Looked to me like it did hit Swisher
he needs to take lessons from Jeter to sell it
I think if it did hit Swisher he would have raised more of a fuss
definitely ruffled the pant leg
In Russia dog polices you.

video link, sorry for the abused failblog Russia joke.

Wow

I miss Olly

wow nice play there.
If he had done that in game 1, this would be a sweep.
Yah VLADDY!!!

  4 hits tonight.

Yankee Stadium is cleared out now.
I hope to God Texas loses in the WS...

  if they win we’re never going to hear the end of it.

Yanks getting Killed!
This is turning into a LAUGHTER

WINGS

Ryan yucking it up
bahahahahahahahahahahaha
Oh, I thought Yank fans were supposed to be "true fans?"
Ryan is loving this
What up y'all?

This game and series are over. Of course this means Hank Steinbrenner will probably sign every FA available, Crawford, Lee, Beltre, Dunn, the ghost of Ty Cobb….

All of the long rediculous contracts will eventually bite them in the ass big time
One can only hope.

And i’m still torn about this game, I don’t like either team. And Texas fans will become insufferable.

I'm praying for a NL victory no matter who it is....
I was really hoping for some sort of loophole where both teams could lose the ALCS
I searched for one too...

didn’t find it. I’ll be rooting for the NL in the World Series.

Same here. Go Philly/San Fran!
the look on their faces is AWESOME
So my question of the night is:

Where the hell were these crappy Yankees last year?

#1 We didnt have Cliff Lee, #2, they have a much better hitting lineup
they umpires were helping them last year
^^ this, I almost forgot about this.

  This is #1 actually.

And we didn't help ourselves last ALCS,

When the entire team forget how to hit and play defense.

and all this just in time before our big World Series return.
I'm no fan of the Rangers...

…but I am so glad the Yanks are losing. It’s not enough that they had afford any player they want. To beat them, you also have to beat the controversial calls by umpires…and listen to “impartial” broadcasters that sure sound like Yankee homers.

Screw ’em all.

totally, they just said that Rivera is better than Lee. uh right.
Wow. Cheking in.

Halos are kicking Yankee ass once again.
7 for 9,
3 runs scored,
3 runs batted in,
11 total bases,
plus 2 pitchers holding done NY in relief.

Hats off to the Los Angeles Angels of Arlington.

Sadly reminiscent of the 2006 Los Angeles Angels of St. Louis
So true.

Kindofa nice legacy, though…

Jeter Christ Superstar,

Not looking so super this ALCS.

Ruh-Roh, NY threatening
texas 1 away now...
if/when Yanks lose

bank on them signing Lee, Crawford, Werth, Beltre and every other free agent out there. shit, they’ll be paying guys not to play for other teams just to make sure they have all the talent under contract.

Cashman is getting it all in order as I’m typing this.

Yep, totally agree.

They might even try to talk Bernie Williams out of retirement. ;)

this should have been a sweep.
The residents of the Bronx aren't going to be happy tonight.

They’ll be lighting tire fires and overturning cars. Of course this would probably be happening any normal day of the week there….

it'll be like

the streets of LA when the Lakers win a championship

Hey, we just overturn cars and break windows.

Tire fires are below our revelry!

don't forget setting the cab on fire.
Technically it's not a tire fire angelsfan7. ;)
true

we do it to celebrate and party, they do it because they are sore losers. pathetic

That's right 2pints,

We start fires and act unruly out of love. They start fires and loot because they’re douche bags!

it's still going 7 games

then Lee cements his place in history, by wearing a yankee cap as he no hits them to take texas to the world series

I'd like to argue that the Yanks losing to Tex is the best it can get...

The Yanks losing to the Angels is a blow, but can be rationalized easier by Yankee fans (since the Angels are always handful for the Yanks).

The Yanks getting embarrassed by a AL West team however that hasn’t been the post-season in over ten years (and from Texas!) is a new low for the Pinstripes. Yanks fans heads are exploding for sure.

The U-Haul is totaled


Girardi in the post-game said that U-Haul will gone for the remainder of this series, and to which he then optimistically added "means he won’t be available for the following series either" What series would that be Joe? Spring Training?

Nah, they play for third place, now.

So they’ll play the phillies around the time Texas vs Giants World Series begins.

Good postseason so far

ESPN’s east coast children are both down. Two west teams are up
Good

Oh the humanity!

Two West Coast teams are up in their series against the east. Heads are currently exploding in Bristol and NY.
