GOO Angels

Twice as much chance to win one today

Shields....

is back today!!

All games in Flordia were cancelled
Florida sucks
Why?
I've just gotten an unpleasant perception of people there

from vacations I’ve taken.

Humidity sucks
I agree, at least with the panhandle/northern part

I was stationed in Pensacola for a few months near the end of ’03/ beginning ’04. Terrible weather, nothing to do, etc. It was an odd place.

A buddy of mine who was from Orlando assured me that South Florida is nothing like “Floribama” as he called it. Kind of like a So-Cal/Nor-Cal thing I guess.

Will play by play for the Indians game be posted

or do people watching the MLBN telecast not want spoilers.

Play by play is fine with me.
yowser NAP IS EVEN FATTER!

sosh, save him from the unlimited pasta bars, don’t let him go molina and colon on us

I think he actually lost weight

Or so it was reported. He and Rivera must have been workout buddies.

k... well i hope you're right

I wonder where his chin went off to.

Every year there is at least one story about how X player who wasn't in shape last year comes into spring trainer "In the best shape of his life"

And they lost 30 pounds and feel great.

Every

Single

Year

DON'T BITCH ABOUT THE ONLR GUY THAT HAS HIT THREE, COUNT TMEM, THREE HOMERUNS IN SPING TRAINING.
we need play-by-play from both games at the same time

This will not be confussing

No Q today

We will lose both shit

Q has certainly earned the day off

with his epic ST work thus far

Lineups?
NO Q does it matter? :(
lineups

 vs chicago

Izturis, M, 3B

Colonel vs W/Sox and Rosie vs Cle
Willits is leading off in the first game

He is due for a homerun.

So it appears that...

the W/Sox vs Angels is on KLAA and the Angels vs Indians is on mlb.tv

Interesting…what to do?

is it a 12:05 start for the w/sox game?

both are 3:05 ET

white soxs game not on KLAA – must be tape delayed.

go use the gameday audio on mlb.com

its free during spring training..

MY local radio guys talking about hunter

Gary radnish and Tony Bruno

Cleveland

This game is a delayed broadcast at 4pm pacific.

I'm in Ohio

I get it live!!!

SO do I

I’m in SoCal but I have DirecTV—which means I have the Ohio sports channel that is showing the Angels game. It’s channel #662 for others with DirecTV

sorry about the Ohio thing
Glad to see Hula-Dula (who created all the hoopla)

is back in action after mild groin problem

Who hits a homerun today?

Woods or Naps?

Naps...already did!

:D

Angels will go against

Jake Westbrook and Fausto Carmona in today’s game vs. the Indians.

Wilits leads off with a double down the right field line vs. Indians
Angels vs. Indians

Mathis gets an infield hit. Good start for the Halos

What up all?

And the obligatory GO ANGELS!

HOME RUN MIKE NAPOLI!!!!

Angels lead 3-0 over Cleveland

so getting laid

eat all you want, you fat italian

Already his 4th of Spring Training
Nipples goes yard

3-0

K3yerout = 3Wood
Any updates for the White Sox game?
I got nothing so far...gameday is showing warmup for me...

watching Cle game on mlb.tv

Sandoval grounds out, two outs in the top of the first
Ryan does the same off to the bottom of the 1st
gameday is so slow.
AJ will be booed at his funeral.
yes

that was pretty awesome to hear! lol.

I will be there

leading the chants

CWS game

1 out, runner on 3rd

Indians announcers

don’t know that Pineiro will be our fifth starter.

Stokes and Bulger

to follow Saunders.

Have audio on W/Sox game now...

Palmer k3yerouts batter

Saunders.
watching Clev and listening to W/Sox

Rosie did k the first batter, sizemore grouded out and the last guy popped up…1-2-3 for Rosie

really?

Where?

mlb.tv and gameday audio on gameday page…

Palmer is pitching vs. Cle

Saunders is pitching against CWS.

This is going to be fun, isn't it?
most definitely

the games just started, and i’m already confused!

Saunders K's

stupid AJ..

2 outs.

Sizemore - 4-3 groundout
Bah! Wild pitch allows runner at 3rd to score, runner at second to advance.
i'll stop play-by-play

didn’t realize our unofficial play-by-play guy was here. :-p

No no :-)

I’m out.

yeah, me too

in like 15 min.

Quick 1-2-3 inning for Palmer

Angels still up 3-0 going to the top of the second

Angels being the Cleveland Whitesoxs 3-0
thanks for the headache
huh...

my head hurts with this one.

Peter Bourjos strikes out against Westbrook
fly out by izzy

K looking by Abreu

2 outs..

3-1 angels vs. cleveland white soxs
Torii

liner up the middle, almost hit Peavy on the way by.

Going to the bottom of the Second agaist Cleveland
Gameday finally working on W/Sox game...

LINKIE again…

Matsui

groundout to 2B.

3 outs.

1-0 Sox.

Peavy vs Colonel in W/Sox game...

nice matchup… 1-0 W/Sox B1st

Indians have runners on second and third

with no outs

Sox game:

Rios with a lead-off double.

Matt Laporta drives in two

Angels 3-Indians 2. Palmer struggling after a solid 1st inning

RBI triple

2-0 ChiSox

0 outs.

v CWS

At least the Angels are preventing runners from scoring from third on sacrifices so far.

So much for that.
i'd rather have some sacfly's scoring these runs

hard hit XB hits with no outs are no fun.

is it just me and you posting here right now?
i don't think so

we’re just posting the most with play-by-play.

love the double play-by-play
RBI double

3-0.

0 outs..

K3yerout = Gross
Palmer really needs to get this out here

he’s struggling

yeah,

and he looked so good in first inning… :(

Indians Announcers shortchanging the AL West

Surprise, Surprise

Gloating about M's...

no shocker there…hopefully this will all motivate the Angels!

thats funny

considering that at least 3/4, if not all of the AL West teams are better than the Indians..

though I gotta say, I would love to see Sizemore in Halo red!

Groundout to 1B

runner to 3B. 1 out.

Saunders out of the game.

Good as Plamer may be

I doubt he is a bullpen arm to start the season – more likely he gets kept sharp starting for Salt Lake.

Brandon Wood

barely missed a pop out in the stands.

And Palmer walks the bases loaded
Travis Chick

replaces Saunders with 1 out and a runner at 3rd.

And promptly gives up a bomb.

5-0

2 run HR by Beckham

5-0.

still 1 out.

Palmer walks a run in

Angels/Indians tied at 3. New pitcher coming in

We need starters who can go at least 2 innings!
BAhhhhhhhhhh, bbyeron walks in a run! Bleepity bleep bleep
Quentin..

K’s to end the inning.. hmm, must’ve missed an out somewhere.

Mike Kohn in the game now
Grounder to finally end the inning

Going to the 3rd tied up at 3.

and he gets out of the inning easily...nice work
w00t! Go KOHN!
vCWS

Kendrick pops out.

HK rakin’ this spring…er, NOT!

then again…nobody but Nipples is really hitting the ball either…early on!

Wilits takes a walk to start the inning
Reggie walks
And he steals second!
KC 4 Sea 1 Top 3
Nooo, can't handle triple play-by-play

strictly for INFO purposes only! :)

5-0 W/Sox top 3, Pieceashitski up
Napoli hits a double to give the Halos the lead

Angels take a 4-3 lead

you keep at it....I am out for a bit...

:)

Nipples rbi 2b makes it 4-3 vs Cle

woohoo nippples continues to rake

Alright Napoli!
I'm out guys

See ya.

Have a good one bro.

Woody still not hitting that damned breaking ball...

K3yerout

Wood strikesout and Sandoval groundsout to end the inning

Going to the Bottom of the Third

Glad the guys have March

to get all this sucking out of their system…

Unfortunately

Napoli will probably start to slump come April

Wood has a lot of suck to get sucked out. So does Mathis.

Other than that none of the regulars have been playing much.

Rios HR to score Pieceashitski

7-0 W/Sux

Ouch. We're getting toasted in chicago
Two quick outs to start the bottom of the third against Cleveland
Fausto Carmona comes in the game against the Halos to start the 4th
Peavy crusiing thru most of our regulars in Tempe... :(
What has Matsui done today?
Talked to the Japanese press corps
reply fail

0 fer 1

Up 2nd next inning though...
Angels

Do nothing in the top half of the 4th. Still lead Cleveland 4-3

Trevor Bell comes into the game
He efficiently takes care of the Indians in about 10 pitches

nice work

Wow

Grady Sizemore takes away a sure double from Willits

Outstanding catch lunging/diving going back to backhand side in RCF...
Jenks replaced Peavy...

Godzirra gets on…

Shhhh!

How is someone supposed to make any money gambling now?!??

LOL

If you told me earlier today we'd be losing a game 7-0...

…I would NOT have picked the right squad to be doing so.

((now renting ledge space – by the day)) :P

7-3 and rallying

gapper by Padgitt

Ahhh I'm stuck with web only, no radio or TV...

Awesome!

((Ledge space is temporarily shut down for renovations))

Asdrubal Cabrera injured himself somehow for the Indians
He was imposterating too hard.

Too far?

((sigh))

Can’t post images on game day threads. Why lordie why, I have such a perfect one!

Gazoo drops in a 1b to knock in 2

Scot Shields!!!!
Gives up a single to AJ to start the 5th.

Still, SCOT SHIELDS!!!!

Scot Shields!
fyi...

In case there are any others of you out there…if you have mlb.tv and gameday audio.

You can run Firefox to watch one game and IE to listen to the other game…mute sound on one game…

That would require you to run IE.

How about a real browser like Chrome?

OH SNAP BROWSER BURN
1101100101011001111100101

0101011101101000011000010111010000100000011001000110111100100000011110010110111101110101001000000111010001101000011010010110111001101011001000000111100101101111011101010010011101110010011001010010000001100100011011110110100101101110011001110011111100100001

OH MY GOD WAY TOO FAR

YOU DIDNT HAVE TO GO THERE MAN

01010010011000010110001101101001011100110111010000101110

I DEMAND A BAN
well thats offensive
Ok...I don't use IE very often, but I have it as an alternative. Usually run FF

You like Chrome?

I like Safari, but then I'm not a native PC user.

Most people would prefer Chrome, I’d think. ANYTHING is better than IE.

Another sac fly for the Indians

they take the lead 5-4

force out to Finally end the inning

Napoli leads off the 6th

Might as well mark it 5-5 then
Napoli has a hit stolen by the SS
Let's Go Angels!
Scot gets Rios to swing and miss for a K!
Scot Shields is back!
Torii with a nice running catch to give Scot a scoreless inning!
Yeahhh Shields....

You know...Cleveland...Ohio. Derp.

01010010011000010110001101101001011100110111010000101110

Hey now, watch it.

Like I know wtf you’re talking about.

Is this base 4?

:P

And not one of those mothers is streaming it anywhere.

no one streams anymore or at least I can never find any.

you gotta know where to look

I guess I don’t know…and you can’t tell me in here or the site could get in trouble.

Very Good defense by the Indians
They'll probably win the division!
not according to Baseball Prospectus!
awful baserunning by Wood who forgets to re tag second running back to first.
did he get a hit to get on?
MLB premium is not very expensive guys...

gives you audio and video to all games for like $110 or something…

dvr ish capabilities…archived games…

i make only 100 a day
It isn't a daily cost!
If I could get live Angels games on TV, I'd be all over that.

And one day when I move out of SoCal I will do just that.

problem...agreed!

blackout rules need to be lifted!

they stopped showing A's angels games

I now only can watch, Saturday baseball when the angels play

makes me very sad

Halos go down 123 in b5...

still 7-5 Xus

We still got this. I think.
9-12 angels losing to chicago indians

you’re making my head hurt by doing that….ouch.

sure would be nice to have a 4-4-1 record after today's games.
Indians score another run

after a double and an error on Mount.

6-4 Indians

For 15 years...

I’ve been saying I’ll eventually go eat at Roscoe’s House of Chicken & Waffles.

For some reason, now is the time. Going there right now, alone, and hoping my Angels cap will protect my arteries. Like Pinks, it probably won’t live up to the hype but I do like waffles :P

Go Angels!

is that ON Roscoe?
I thought they used to have on in the Valley...

…but I think I’m thinking of Piggly Wigglies or whatever.

I’m heading to the one at 1518 N Gower St in Los Angeles.

no distance is too far

for good waffles, bro
(I have to have warm maple or forgetaboutit)

i make great waffle

but bad chicken

not black

Dad of Vlad

you are rad

not like you raddad
that may be a good thing
but my wife will not eat my waffles?
I'm glad I understand the...

…context here.

They sould combin the split squad scores

This could be the next big thing.

Split squad league.

two teams battle for one game.

Kazmir is now wearing number 0011000100111001 for the Angels.
He must have gained a lot weight at that gym...
Actually, 10011 expressed in more traditional base 2.
Mac or a PC?

That is the question.

just what I wanted to watch, white guys rapping.
Bourjos gave up on a ball he could have caught

Indians tack on another one 7-4

Q sighting in Tempe...

in for Gazoo; Conger in to catch; Efren Navarro at 1b for KMo; Stokes to pitch

I am stoked.
Q in

now comes the win

JUAN RIVERA!!! HOME RUN!!!
Nevermind. Caught.

Terry was confused.

Thus I was confused.
Juancho robbed of HR
And now the guy is hurt. :-/

First round 2009 pick.

sounds like all world prospect needs a golf cart to get off field! What a bummer for the kid!

Poor kid who robbed Juancho of HR

hurt himself pretty badly it sounds like…a foot or leg!

that is what happens

when you mess with gods team

sorry he got hurt but I thought Alan was saying Juan got hurt and I was about to cry – whether there is crying in baseball or not – I would have cried.

Jared Mitchell is the prospect who made the catch and got hurt...

being carted off…sounds bad.

#1 pick out of LSU
damn

thats rough

Naps needs to DH this year.
who?
Clue: Hes got a hot mom!

I meant, who was injured

Clue: Always gets laid!
Robb Quinlan?
Close but never getting laid
Dude

Q’s wife is H O T !

Are you suggesting another war with Japan?
We have Gadzilla
So how is Nap going to realisticly DH when Matsui was signed to do that?

Not very often.

Matsui was deported today

Too nucluear

Racist

Nuclear mutians

Using best Jack Bauer voice...

Imposternator

Anthony Ortega has a pink lip.
EEWWWW.

That just sounds gross.

It's a birth mark or something.
Take me out to the balllllllgaaaaaammeee....
Glad to hear that the 7th inning stretch SCREAMING of "ANGELS" is alive in the Spring.

No other team’s fans seem to do that, from what I’ve noticed listening to the commercial free radio streams. Just the Angels. We have serious issues.

And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Tired of other team’s fans out yelling us I guess eh?

Because we don't take no mess!
GA, Figgy, and Juan Pierre all roommates in Az this spring

hmmm

And GA is making the least amount of cash.
GA tells Dohdgers he is willing to play some 1b too
GA was too lazy to get his own place.
did not want to get paper cut looking
I don't know that you're properly embracing the meme.

SURPRISE!

No, wait, that’s tomorrow.

Angels walk away with a tie and a loss today.
