This dude Aldrige is hitting the ball

2 jacks already this postseason
He, Ryan and Naps are pretty much are only hitting stars

That would be Aldridge

my bad

Able to listen to the whole game today.

Not a good first though, down in order.

Zilla grounds out.
lineup

Kendrick, H, 2B
Abreu, B, RF
Matsui, H, DH
Morales, K, 1B
Wood, B, 3B
Mathis, J, C
Aldridge, LF
Bourjos, CF
Patchett, SS

Bloomquist hits

Callaspo grounds out, Bloomquist out at second. 1 out, 1 on.

Lot of Halo fans attending
Mathis GUNS DOWN Callaspo trying to steal.
And it didn't go into Centerfield!
Mathis throws a runner out!

there is hope! 2 outs.

Sit DOWN Butler. 3 away.
and a K by Voodoo

nice!!!

Strikeout!

Nice job Ervin

Kendry up to bat.
DOUBLE for Kowbell!
sounds like Kowbell

ripped that ball. Double!

Work that count Kendry.
Wood gets the runner over.

I’ll take it.

Mathis up, man on 3rd.
That's a productive out right there for Woody.
ditto Mathis

Angels score a run

Grounder scores Morales.
1-0 Angels. None on, 2 out. Aldridge up.
What do you think of Aldridge Zu?
He's interesting. If he keeps hitting, he could earn himself Evan's spot.

It’s too bad he’s so old.

I'm not familiar with him

a journeyman LF type?
Must have missed comments about him previously but I don’t remember rghan or anyone talking about him

He's a minor league free agent OF. 31 years old.

Hit .946 OPS with 22 HRs last year for the Royals in Omaha.

Wonder why he didin't crack

Royals’ stellar lineup?

It's a good question. If I were a team like the royals, or the Pirates or something, Aldridge seems like a guy

I might give a chance to.

Loved those boo's for Guillen

hahaha – sit down Jose

Santana is dominating.

Great inning Santana

3K's for Ervin.

He seems healthy again for sure.

wow

Voodoo sounds like he’s throwing pretty good today. 2K’s and a weak groundout to 1B that inning. This makes me excited to watch him pitch this year. Stay healthy my friend!

Bourjos on with a single.
Peter Gourjos gets a hit.
Patchett double!

Howie, Howie, Howie

2nd and 3rd for Kendrick.
Come on Howie.
yeahhh Howie - RBI
Howie grounds out. Run scores, runner to third.
Abreu up, runner on third, one out.

Yeahhh Bobby – 1st RBI of ST.

3-0 Angels. Matsui up with no one on.
Inning over, but two runs.
Matsui has one single thus far in st I believe

This too shall pass

Sit down Maier.
Santana invincible.

I hope he keeps this going all season

I have an Announcement to make

Ervin Santana rules! That is all.

Ervin ate his Wheaties today.
Wheaties AND Flintstone chewables.
Got his hoodoo voodoo mojo goin'
Kowbell up once again.
Morales grounds out.
Mathis out. Lack-luster inning, but we're still up 3-0.
Good afternoon all

I have seen this Ervin before…been awhile though…

Love playing those 4A teams…

Raf-rod takes over.

In case anyone cares… going to double OT in the Big 10 tourney game Illinois vs Ohio St.

Standing O for Ervin

clap, clap, clap

standing...

clap, clap, clap

Bloomquist up again.
Nice DP turn by Kendry.
the Kowbell shuffle

3-6-3.

He’s pretty good at those!

one of the most under-rated 1B-men

fielding wise

That's how we turn those....
Back to our side.
Kaz to throw Monday vs Dohhdgers
Aldridge with a drop-shot.

On with a single.

The game is on AM830. I did'nt realize that.
Bourjos, GIDPs.
Patchett pops out.
Santana and Raf Rod are looking GOOD!!

That’s one thing you could never deny, when Ervin’s on, he’s one of the best in baseball. His stuff is filthy.

"his stuff is flthy"

Such a great American idiom
I also like “His stuff is sick”

er, "filthy"

where’s my glasses?

and, "He's lights out today"
The batters that face Ervin are his victims.
Yet another amazing revelation by Mr. Halowood. :)
Attitude looking pretty good today.
Spoke too soon.

Gives up the HR.

Get it together Raf-Rod.
wheels falling off RR
another great expression

sorry, I’m working on something involved baseball and sports idiomatic expressions

all 4 of them...

TIHS 4-3 KC

Another 2-run homer.

Fael-Rod returns.

Random Saturday factoid

If Matt Stairs makes the Padres’ opening day roster, it will mark his 12th major league team, the most for a position player and testament to his unparalleled staying power.

LINKIE

I wonder if his wife would agree about the unparalleled staying power part.

that’s a different product!

A number of our pitchers

throwing 4-5 run innings this ST
ouch

I am out...

have fun gang!
Go Halos…
Go Woody!

HK ofer 3 in leadoff spot today...

ouch…nice experiment! Now I am really out! ;)

The guy calling this game on MLB is good… we need to sign him – Mota can do the spanish broadcast.

Robb Quinlan enters the game
Q playing now
Soth is gettin serious about this game
changes

Brian Walker – C
Tommy Mendoza – P
Amarista – 2B
Aldridge – RF
Quinlan – LF

Mendoza is getting creamed.
Gotta split. Bye guys.
so is this game on TV??
nope

gameday audio on MLB.com. its free right now..

oh

I cant do that right now though :(

it's on AM830 radio too.
Im just worried right now cause of other work im doing slowing down my internet that it will really go slow

This is just crap

what is?
this game...

Santana was great – then it fell apart.

8-3 Royals in the sixth.

Pitching depth (or lack thereof) not impressing in spring thusfar.

K-Mo on base...
red floyd standing by
Michael Ryan seriously vying to be the new Q.
where'd everyone go...

did everyone give up?

eh

trying to be productive today, with finals coming up next week.

Looking at the live box, Voodoo was good, but RafRod stunk up the place?
Santana did a great job
more or less

RafRod was good in his first inning, then gave up a pair of 2-R HR’s in his 2nd inning..

but Voodoo was AWESOME.

Tomorrow’s game is on WGN as we’re playing the Cubs 1pm (pdt)

And now it's at least 9-3 (depending on how far behind Gameday is)
10-3 Royal... :(
now it's 12-3...
someone make it STOP
WTF is Brasier still doing on the mound?
Inning's over.... FINALLY
Amarista >| King Conger in for Godzilla
Conger pulls a Carlos Quentin and flies out to center.
So glad that's over.
Look at the positives. Voodoo pitched well.
Hey just got in

What did i miss?

A root canal procedure - minus the anesthesia
more serious spring training sucking
the first 2 innings were nice: 2-0 Halos

and Mathis threw the first runner out stealing
damn things were looking good….

Heh yeah I cracked open a beer and was anticipating...

…a good ’ole fashioned beat down. Even if it is ST, I can really use one of those games right now…!

The will crush the Cubs tomorrow. I’m feelin’ it!

The WILL of the Angels is going to crush the Cubs.

I like it.

or if not

are there any college teams on the schedule?
We haven’t beaten down anyone since september

Haha man...

…this site is doing one thing for sure. Making me realize just how bad my grammar and spelling are, with no do-overs.

But maybe it was a purposefull slip as you said, heh. Although execution might not be there, I’m sure especially now their will to not be in last place (even if it is ST) must be strong.

Tell me about it

I JUST have to remind myself every time to press “preview” first!
