Greatest Announcer in the World effect.
Torres grounds out to 3rd. 1 out
nice play Wood
DeRosa lines out to left. 2 outs

The game thread picture...

nickname #17 for erick

Aybarlator

yeahh Torii onbase
Torii gets a single off Downs's glove
Godzilla grounds out to 1st. 3 outs. 0-0 headed into the 2nd
Barry Zito, skinny as a mosquito.
the state bird of Minnesota
Ron Washington Diet?
Or the Kate Moss version
Bengie K's swinging. 1 out

NICE

throw by Wood

Wood just earned himself a few more at-bats
But the LA Times story today Soth says he still has'nt earned the third base spot.
Posey grounds into DP. 3 outs. 0-0 headed into the bottom of the 2nd.

Nice diving stop by Wood

Never mind, It wasn't a DP.
I've been waiting to see him play like that.
Schierholtz K's looking. NOW 3 outs. 0-0 headed into the bottom of the 2nd
Kendry gets a leadoff single
Kowbell

being unstoppable.

Watching today with my 4 year old daughter...

How in the world do you explain this game to a 4 year old?

Hit ball with stick

Then run

yeah I guess...

that and root for red, cuz red is a good color.

Make sure to say that

whenever we play the Red Sox, the B stands for Bad guys, since both teams wear red.

Also, the best way to teach a kid anything

is have them experience it. She should definitely play some baseball/softball, if she’s willing to, of course.

Took her to a "Sky-sox/Bees game last year and all she remembers is...

Sox the Fox (mascot) , who she thought was a skunk…

tell we are the good guys

and let her ask questions … don’t force anything on her but if she wants to watch something else just say “in this house we watch baseball and the angels are our team.” Kids love certainty.

nice.... yeah she knows daddy loves the Angels

and of course they are the good guys

My 4 yo asks if John Lackey is pitching.

Only player she knew.

Did you tell her he pitches for a BAD team now?

Nah. She doesn't get that yet.

But what is worse, my son plays on our village’s (yeah, village) team. They use Red Sox hats.

Rivera pops out to 1st. 1 out
Izturis grounds into DP. 3 outs. 0-0 headed into the 3rd
HERE IS A GOOD ONE

Ron Washington After the Game

I get the same results, minus the dope
((sigh))

I wish I was 65 and could live my life like Hunter S. Thompson.

I will never understand why he took his own life, but then I never understand why anyone does – and of course, if I were him, I probably wouldn’t think like I do to analyze all this sh!t.

Ishikawa K's swinging. 1 out
Downs pops out in foul territory. 2 outs
Torres gets a double

what is that pile of dirt out there?

No clue, but Rivera was glaring at it
thats where they burried lackeys stuff
or his chin lifter
Why would they bury it?

Burning seems like it would be much more fun

fire makes everthing more fun
Thank Jobu

for not letting Juan get hurt

DeRosa flies out to left. 3 outs. 0-0 headed to the bottom of the 3rd
Life is almost back to normal...

…running errands, Angels on the radio keeping me company, coffee in hand. Good times again.

Mathis grounds out to 3rd. 1 out
Sheriff Woody K's swinging. 2 outs
HOw many is it this spring?
Aybar gets a single
nice to see him starting to get some hits
BRING BACK REX

Mota does not sound good as the color commentator. I like his happy time interviews, color not so much.

Rex was ridiculous, but he was our ridiculous.

couldn't agree with you more.
Mota is only going to be doing radio at least
yeah but radio is a big...

…part of my enjoyment…and he is KILLING me.

Abreu 2 run HR! 2-0
HR Abreu
he did the hack

he did the MONSTER HACK!

It was a whack

a really big smack

AH-BROO!!!111!!!
don't get me started on that...
******************HOMERUN************Bobby Abreu!*********************
Torii pops out to the catcher in foul territory. 3 outs. 2-0 headed into the 4th.
If Bengie had any speed

he would have cleaned out the backstop.

that beanie is ugly.

it thought it was pretty cool looking..
Digging that TRADITION commercial

I had it muted, were they playing Fiddler on the Roof while shots of Saunders and Tanana floated by?

"If I were a rich man"?

then that would have been GMJ.

It’s going to be a cool couple of years… this year the All-Star game next year our 50th Season anniversary

Sandoval gets a leadoff single
he reminds me of Kevin Mitchel
fantasy pick

Pablo Sandoval with Figgy’s legs

Fatty Fantast team

Sandoval
Fielders
?

Hainley Statia playing 2nd now for some reason
Why didn't someone tell me the game was on the MLB channel??

I’ve been watching on my computer!

Wait, it's delayed.
I honestly didn't know... watching FSN

Maicer out of the game…. did anyone hear what happened?

They didn't say
I hope he's not hurt

already.

It's Rev's fault... jinxed him in his Angels Preview
The top of the Fourth

they would like to see other players have more time with the glove? It is Spring Training.

Unlikely this early in the game

Announcers wondered why he was out though also.

Bengie gets a single, Sandoval moves to 2nd.
Uribe singles. Bases loaded
c'mon Joe

get some outs.

Hard to blame Joe.

Rivera should have caught that double — and a little more effort and Aybar probably wouldn’t have booted that ball.

Not blaming him just wanting outs.

Double play get us out of this inning. C’mon DP

It's only because you titled your bracket to be the winning one...

And the entire NCAA realized it couldn’t let you down…Seriously, though, good job! I’ve been bouncing all over the place 2-11-15-4-15-now back to 9…if Duke loses, I’m done.
