GO HALOS!!!!

Only 7 days and 6 hrs left until opening day

Good luck to both our squads

Hopefully we’ll actually seem them win some ball games.

are either one going to be broadcast? anyone know?

if you can listen on your computer I know the KC one is on now.

http://losangeles.angels.mlb.com/mediacenter/index.jsp?ymd=20100329

I guess ill do that :)
wait it isn't free this time it seems
try going on the Angels site and click the "listen" from there.

sooo…..
how the angels doing?
looking better when regulars are in.

They haven't got stung yet either.
That happens to me alot.

Scream like a girl, I mean.

just wondering

do people scream with accents?

HA!

I love that idea!

no
dogs bark with accents.
No they don't but different types of don't have different barks. They are not accents though
i heard that they do

a yorke from the US sounds different then a yorke from Spain?

I think that's only in cartoons!

(just joking; I don’t know)

Makes sense, since you're female.
hahaha sorta funny picture it creates in my mind
change your tag line?

now makes sense

well it made sense before to many but now make it more clear to other sports blogs

http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2010_03_29_kcamlb_anamlb_1

You are a god

no
I just figured out how to change it from game to game.

Still..

Smarter than me.

no not really it is quite simple
I go to an old gameday then I scroll to today, but then I can't click on Angels game.
clicking on his link takes you to todays gameday. I checked
Yes it does.

But I wasn’t able to get there myself, hence why I asked him.

yea thats interesting
And now I have soem stupid motorbike add covering the whole right hand side of the screen.

Fucking MLB.com

3 wheel motocycle?

Hard core

That's the one.

God, it’s pissing me off

When you want to be a badass

you ride a backwards tricycle motorcycle

One way to pick up the ladies..
Kendry pops out to left. 1 out
I have bad news about

Ricky Martin Agent 99 dont cry

I'm trying to hold back the tears.

It’s just so tough to type and cry at the same time. Thank God he wasn’t on my short list of celebs I would like to take to an Angel game!

i knew i was not the only

person that would be shocked

The birth fo his twin sons led him to come out.. There just is somthing not right about that sentence.
I noticed that, too
If you have ever seen a women give birth

alot goes through your mind.
Mostly “oh my god” and “All the blood”

Okay...

That put me off my cornflakes real quick.

Rivera strikes out looking. 2 outs

Good day all, sorry for being late...

Piniero doing pretty good I see…

Wood gets a roster spot and relaxes.
I hope he has at least a decent season offensively.

He’s looking more comfortable.

you always have the kindest thoughts toward people
???

You’ve confused me with our team’s manager.

did he not hit a triple over the weekend?
Abreu gets a RBI single, Aybar to 3rd. 2-0
Abreuuuuuu
Aboooooooooooooooooo
A- Bear-oo

NICE 2-0 Angels.

farnsworth only pitched 2 innings

i guess no starting spot of him

Read today somewhere that Abreu bought a basketball team in Venezuela called...

Panteras….

Interesting...

…how do you translate “We don’t take no mess” into Spanish? Could be their team motto.

heh..

we need Acuda’s skills right now…. My espanol is very rusty…

Torii walks, bases loaded. And pitching change

Bases juiced – NO outs.

GRand Slam Time

tick tock

Matsui sac flys out to center. 1 out. 3-0,
Nice try Matsui...

…but now I’m voting less than 20 HRs on the season!

He is going to miss NYY right field porch
He hit more HR on the road, so I doubt he will miss it that much.
Kendry sac flies out to left. 2 outs. 4-0
Rivera pops out to the catcher. 3 outs. 4-0 headed into the 4th

MMP doing good today
DAD OF BLAB
?

DAD OF BLAB???

oh no double post fail
Nooooooooooooooooo...
Aybar steals 2nd
Aybar gets another bag

Really working that leadoff spot.

Abreu flys out to center. 3 outs. 5-0 headed into the 5th
The Royals need to figure out how to clone people.

They should just have Greinke clones in every pitching spot.

Royals may still be a losing team with 5 Greinkes

He gets crap run support.

They seem to build their team off Mariner cast-offs.
there's a winning combo
way better commentary then mota
Thorman grounds out to 1st. 1 out
Betancourt grounds out to 3rd. 2 outs
ok im back.

MMP why were you not here yest.? I got stuck with PBP lol though had to stop after 5 innings.

I got stuck doing other things during the game
oh us and getting stuck with things lol
Did you request the time off or call in sick...
I'm really liking these groundball outs.
Kendall HBP
Falu walks, Kendall moves to 2nd
doubleplay coming right up..
It's 2 outs right now.
woops... missed one..
DeJesus grounds out to the pitcher. 3 outs. 5-0 headed to the bottom of the 5th
we've needed 4 outs before
reply fail
did you just reply fail while pointing out a reply fail? wow impresive
I aim to humor
raaddad status

but he still has 387 more reply fails

good to know I have something to shoot for.
I represent that remark
Lots of groundouts
Aybar's average is up to .308 now
Torii flys out to left. 1 out
Let's petition the Halos to have MMP and AlanFalcon replace Jose!

Seriously, though, Jose signed a ball for me the other day, and was pretty cool when I ran into him on the concourse iat Tempe Diablo as well.

+1

MMP does good color as well. Alan Falcon could be the play-by-play

AS LONG AS THEY DON'T HIRE

Dad of Vlad to drive the team van

i am a good driver

just not with hornets in the cab

just not a good parker...
i am a great packer

best around

that's disgusting!
i am a good driver

just not with hornets in the cab

AGAIN?
sorrry laptop?
That's my excuse, hands off.

There goes Joel's nohitter :(

CY YOUNG!!!!
jinxed him

how could you?

ST...
I know but

we as fans need to warmup and know what to do and not do to prevent common mistakes.

sorry don't believe in that jinx stuff
baseball is a very

SUPERSTITIOUS SPORT… sorry cap lock

It is but doesn't mean the spectators are
BOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Jose again?
No

Podsednik and Ankiel

well I always booo guillen
of course....
Oh. Thought you meant Guillen
Well, at least it gave a ST game some excitement...!

…err wait, ST games have no meaning.

I would never want to receive the “stare of the Sosh”…

dont become an umpire
Nice job Pineiro!!!!!
I thought he pitched very well and if he can do this all season that is going to be some great rotation
although I don't know why he can't continue....

gameday says he’s only thrown 29 pitches….29 pitches in 6 innings really?

Gameday Sucks
If this is "live" what does MLB.com consider dead?
the ultimate perfect game

27 pitches 27 outs

only done once
what you talking about?
in my dreams

angels win game seven with a 27 pitch perfect game and i get to watch 60 minutes before i need to go to bed

HAHA yea that would be something
No way is that real? there is no way that is accurate
That's less than 5 pitches/inning. I doubt it's accurate.
that would be like 1 pitch per batter with no one getting on lol
ohhh wait... the inning finished with 34 pitches..but still...
YEAHHHHHHHHHHH WOOD

gets a triple.

needs a homerun for cycle?
WOOOD TRIPPLES
That's 2 today. Plus a stolen base.
yea hope he hits like he is today all season :)
Figgy says once you are allowed to relax the numbers just come.
4th hit for Aybar today.
Can we ship Wood and Aybar over to the B team for tonight's game?
would be nice...but I think they deserve the rest after playing so great today.
Is there going to be another gamethread tonight?
this is a luck ST game trend
would be nice if it was on TV...or radio but it's not.
i think it's on MLB.com
MLB.TV, actually

According to the Angels official site.

Trout!
Players named after fish!
When Tim Salmon throws out the first pitch, they should let Trout catch it.
dick and kevin bass
or randy bass
Randy Bass

Greatest American Japan League player

Steve Trout (no relation)
Mike Carp as ceremonial 1B man.
Lookout landing did post about this

link

Prince Fish!
Baby Kingfish
that is better. "golden trout"
Aybar is half our offense right now
My bad. Aybar and Wood
I was about to say.

Those worried about his cold spring can stop worrying.

did not start for most of ST
Doesn't seem to be affecting him now that he's got his rhythm though.
I wish they would give us his pitch count.
gameday says 35 pitches.
yea it is off lol
Nice play by HK47
Pinero out.
really?

I wanted to see him finish 7

Pineiro out

i hope it does

i work with lots of raiders fan. more crap to put on them

Can't wait for opening day!

For all the obvious reasons, but:
I am soooooo sick of having to listen to Mota.
Anyone recall the movie Airplane?
Mota keeps talking.
I keep pouring gasoline all over my body.
I strike a match…

I think the same is felt all over the baseball world
but...

he’s going to be calling the games on the radio and I enjoy listening to the games on the radio… bring back REX!!!!!

you could just tone him out

or call arte

man, sad but true.

I was totally thinking about t.v.
I miss Rory.
I would take Rex in a second!
Who would be worse – Phizz or Mota?!? (shudders).

Fuller scores 9-0

Mathis infield single. 2 outs.

Navarro (?) grounds to 2nd. 3 outs going into the top of the 8th. 9-1
Fuentes in for the top of the 8th
does that mean rodney top of the 9th?
Announcers say Shields
yeah I read that SHields is scheduled to pitch today...
Why does Scot only have one "t" in his name

i always thought it was a typo

Parents don't know how to spell?

They should haha. I bet if they made the majors they do something like that (still years away)
I hope not.

I love chicken wings.

There’s probably some fish that tastes like chicken… ;)

A huge sigh

to poorly prepared food.

Romine grounds out to 1B. 3 outs heading into the top of the 9th

10 – 1 Angels.

No shields?
F. Rodriguez in to close it out
F-Rod is in to pitch the 9th

Shields might be pitching against the White Sox.

By F-Rod, I mean Francisco Rodriguez
the new improved K-rod

It is 7pm on Monday

Waiting for kid to wake up,

You can go to MLB.com and the games are in the left sidebar.

Click on boxscore next to the LAA game. The only gameday I see is for the AZ/SD game.
http://mlb.mlb.com/index.jsp

Yeah tried that

That’s how I normally do it but it will not let me selct the angels game.

Halos
1. Izturis SS
2, Willits CF
3. Napoli DH
4. Q LF
5. Wilson C
6 Evans RF
7 Ryan 1B

Andrew Jones singles to center, 2-0
Ortega, this could get ugly.
jones is on the white sox now?
confired a dutch jones
Dude game over...

The only way the Angels score 3 runs with this lineup is if Napoli hits 3 solo homers….

ha.

due up… Q, Wilson and Evans

I don't know, Q does have major power..
And Willits is due for a bomb.
Then you are going to miss Willits first homerun ever. Angels History.
i think Lackey will be an angel before Willits hits a homerun

I would think he would have hit an in-side-the-parker yet.

Pierzynski grounds out to 2nd

going to the top of the 2nd

I'd rather be watching Trout and Grichuk

get em in there Soth

seriously

Trout played earl;ier, had an RBI double

Terry Evans grounds out to third

bottom of the 2nd, 2-0 bad guys

Teahen walks, no outs
Ramirez singles to left, 1st and 2nd, no outs
I wish I hadn't have ordered MLB.TV

so I wouldn’t be enduring this right now…. hehe

yeah, this is gonna be ugly
if you want I could take over MLB.TV

for you?

nah I'm thinking team

Z won’t be playing come April

Oretega not looking so good
Like a train wreck.
he just needs someone to bunt horribly 3 times.
he did not look good in his call up last season

dont think he will be a major leaguer anytime soon

Pierre out on a 2 strike foul bunt
actually had 3 consecutive bunts foul
Beckham flies out to left, 2 outs
the other Q grounds out to 3rd
OH I see what you did there!!
going to the top[ of the 3rd...

Ryan, Sandoval, and Statia due up

what a joke

this is the AAA team with naps

and Izzy
but he will be back up

as long as wood hits like he did today

that's why Vegas won't let you bet split squad games.
you tryed?
tonight no

in the past maybe

Sandoval singles to right!!!!
hits are good
Statia grounds into a DP...
Is this game what it was like being a M's fan the past couple years?
go angels

got to give the Vlad man a bath

ok, catch ya later.
Rays 9, Red Sox 3

Niemann: 6 IP, 0 ER
Beckett: 6 IP, 2 ER (2 HR)

I think Boston fans will just need to get used to being on that side of the Rays.

Let us all hope so.
top of the 3rd, Konerko doubles to left
Kotsay 2 run HR, 4-0 bad guys.

oh and no outs

Dude Mark Kotsay

is a pile of crap and he hit a homerun

But atleast our actual team won today.
announcers are fawning over Kotsay

how many 86 mph fastballs you going to see come April, Mark?

AJ singles, Jones scores... Aj caught between 1st and 2nd...

5-0, 1 out

can't throw strikes

can’t throw with velocity
can’t hold runners…..
things not looking so bright for his baseball career.

Teahen flies out to Center, 2 outs
Ramirez singles to left
maybe pierre will try to bunt again
Ramirez steals 2nd
Pierre HBP
funny thing was it was the first legit strike he threw that inning
ha, yeah Pierre just kinda put his elbow there and took the base
For the love of god pitching change, PLEASE
84mph fastball

WTF, he has to be injured

Beckham walks, bases loaded, 2 outs
83 pitches through 2 2/3 innings
Soth shouldn't give him the hook

he should give him a Costco App…..

had to give him the hook...

got to his 90 pitch limit

the other Q walks, run scores....

Ortega is gone… 6-0

meh

Ortega has only thrown about 50 innings in the last 2 years IIRC.

One has to wonder why they keep trying this guy.

I would like to hear Soth’s expalation.

I don't wanna know what will happen if one of our top 5 go down this year
Palmer, then Bell then probably SOS or Reckling

Thats how I see it anyway

Taylor Wilding in to pitch
Konerko walks.... 7-0...
kotsay grounds out to SS,

end of 3, 7-0

back, why has soth not pulled him yet?

Kid clean, dad soaked.

How old is the little tyke?
5 months

and a ball of hungry energy

Izzy flies out to Left
Hmm

Izzy went with the Junior Varsity squad today. I wonder…

Willits grounds out to 2nd
Napoli needs a 8 run homer here
He is due...
Napoli doubles down the third base line

The real Q softly grounds out to 2nd

bottom of the 4th coming up

okay, I gotta get the house cleaned up before the Mrs. comes home....

Anyone wanna take the PBP?

here's the gameday

MLB Gameday

Sorry if you guys were looking for it earlier, I was taking a nap. 8 hours of class the first day back from spring break is BRUTAL.

Stokes now pitching
Andruw Jones K's

Pierzynski grounds to SS
Teahan flies to RF

3 outs.

Wow

So, Michael Ryan started at 1st?

Interesting.

I can see him making the 25-man as a super utility guy…

For the 25 man roster....

I think Scioscia will begin the year with 12 pitchers, mostly because at this point in the season, starting pitchers tend to only go 5 or 6 innings. What’s this mean for Michael Ryan? A lot probably.

Starting 9
BENCH: Izzy, Mathis, Willits, Quinlan and toss up between Ryan/Alrdridge
Rotation 5
BULLPEN: Fuentes, Rodney, Shields, Jepson, Bulger, Stokes, Palmer

I’m not particularly happy about seeing Quinlan on the roster again, and we’ll be losing Evans and Wilson, which is regrettable. Aldridge has earned a spot this Spring, and Ryan’s versatility and ability to just plain hit probably earned him a spot too.

I don't really see Q making it.

He hasn’t had that great of a spring, and there are others that are more deserving. I do think we’re going to end up losing Evans and Wilson though.

I wish the Q escapade was done....

Ugliest swing I’ve ever seen, tip toeing yet heavy footed, uncoordinated, bad defensively at every position. But the Soth loves him. He’ll be on the roster.

You left out SOS
Yeah

BR says Ryan only played 1B 6 times in 1200+ AAA games. The fact that Sosh is trying him there says to me that he’s looking for a way to use him.

wonderful... I leave and the Sox don't score for the first inning this game...

I should just stay away

Jepsen in to pitch.
Ramirez grounds out to the pitcher, 1 out
Pierre grounds out to 3rd, 2 out
Beckham K's

just another 1,2,3 inning for the Halos, 7-0 badguys

Nice job Jepps.
Statia singles up the middle
Jepsen is money.

I am liking Stokes too.

the 2 bright spots for tonights game
Nap hitting the double was quality
and I guess Izzy going 2-3..
Love that l'il man...
Is Gameday

Waaaaaay behind again or is it just that I’m 18 hours away from my office VPN?

way behind as usual
Izzy singles to right. 2 on, no outs
Borgous in to run for Izzy
Close

It’s Bourjos. We should probably start spelling Gorgeous’ name right, before he gets to the show. :-p

dang, I mispelled it last time too...

and it probably doesn’t help me out to say that I’m ESL

Lol, probably not.

You have a few months before you really need to spell it though.

Willits infield single... bases juiced for Naps
Napoli K's
bah
he was swinging for the fences
like, I'm so sure!
The mighty Q is up!
I'm saying that after this at-bat the score will be 7-4

Call me crazy

Pitching change...

Putz coming in

Yay Bobby W
Bobby Wilson with a SB
horrible throw by AJ...

bounced it half way between the mound and 2nd.

Won't read that too often.
Sothball checking in...

…for a couple of minutes. 7-3? Could be worse i guess.

All 7 runs

charged to Ortega.

Thanks.

Ortega not so MLB ready.

Ortega....

Nothing but a strike thrower. Doesn’t get outs, just throws and leaves it up to the defense. He’s better than SOS at least. That guy belongs in Rancho at best.

threw 6 walks tonight
defintely could been worse... Ortega had 90 pitches through 2 2/3 innings
!!! Pathetic.
Evans walks... 1st and 2nd, 2 outs
Ryan reaches on an error, or a hit or something to 1st...

Bases loaded

This is the 1st time I clicked on yur avatar.

Beautiful family. How Mrs. S-I-R?

Thanks!!!

She’s doing alright…. actually she said yesterday that she had some pain where she had her operation… Hopefully nothing serious.

maybe just the weather changing or something...
Yikes.

Hopefully it’s just scar tissue, or something else benign.

Sandoval K's leaving the bases loaded

3 outs

Putz. Oh wait...
missed who's in pitching... sorry
Bourgos (did I spell it right?) in CF, Patchett at SS.
Close. Bourjos.
Closer than before.

You’ll get it one of these days.

running out of options on misspelling it.
Konerko K's

2 outs

Top 'o the mornin'
still having issues with MLBtv--->keeps having 'seizures'

it’s annoying

Use your internet skillz and powahs...
I be tryin'!
Kotsay grounds out to first.

Kohn gets them 1,2,3

Kohn looks good.

A couple more seasons in the minors, and he may be ready for the big show.

Rancho Cucamonga

Just an A+ ball guy standing up pretty well to an ST with the big boys.

End of 6

7-3 bad guys

7-3 douchebags

The White Sox tend to develop them and encourage them to flourish in all their douchiness

New pitcher for the Sox, Linebrink
Don't believe he's been as successful with the Sox as he was with the Padres.
Statia ground out to 2nd, 1 out
Patchett Ground rule double to center

Bourjos scores, 7-4

Go Angels (JV)!!
Napoli reaches on an error by the 3rd baseman

Napoli steals 3rd!!!
this must be funny to watch
Get the &#@! outta here!

Our catchers ave 2 SB's in the game...
Q singles, Napoli scores, 7-6!!!
singles to rightfield
Q has skillz!
That's it, hes opening day starter.
Quarantine that idea from Scioscia's mind.
Q steals 2nd as the throw goes to CF...

Q goes to 3rd…

Woo-Hoo!

We got playahs!

The announcers talking about how fast the Angels are

It’s Napoli and Quinlan stealing bases guys…..

a catcher and a guy that runs like a duck

Q had a perfect chance to bowl over AJ

and didn’t take it…… bah

Wilson hits a ground ball to 3rd...

the throw home gets Q by a mile

Pitching change...

Tony Pena coming in.

Who was it that said the Angels would'nt score three runs in this game?

Dude game over…
The only way the Angels score 3 runs with this lineup is if Napoli hits 3 solo homers….

I told him Q had major power, and look an RBI!
I think he's got 2
See? Major power
and he probably just stole the opening day spot from kendry
2 RBI in ST > 34 (?) HR during regular season.
yea my bad

I didn’t see the White Sox putting guys in to pitch that think you can do the hokie pokie on the mound with runners on first and third before not throwing anywhere

I like the go-for-broke managing

Whadda ya got to lose, down 7-0 with the JV squad?

Sosh managing?

Evans singles to right, Wilson to third.
Balk, Balk balk!!! 7-7
No need to curse...
chicken noises?
Well the pitcher sure looked like a chicken with that move over to first.
yes, and an ugly one...
Ryan pops out to left...

7th inning stretch

Well, time to go.

Thanks for the PBP. Best of luck to you and the family.

Cassevah in to pitch
Anyone have any remedies for a sprained ankle

I am dyin here

4 words

Hot Tub Time Machine

soak in warm water bath with epsom salt
Ice first, then heat...

THEN epsom

RICE!

Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation!

How’d you sprain it Rev?

my dog tackled me at full speed

it was funny until it started hurting

shots of Patron always work for me

also a cold compress — like a TherapyGel pack helps

You slay me, man...
Patron is my first answer to anything that ails me
As it should be...
what about a hangover?
Compress well with bandage, ice on and off for 20 minute intervals, raise above level of your heart.
preferably by laying down...
AJ reahes first on an error by the pitcher
Nix grounds out to short, pinch runner advances to 2nd on the hit and run.
Ramirez infield single... runners on 1st and 3rd
Let's Go Angels!
Are you telling me squad b came back from 7-0 and it's tied?
correct!

mission impossible

Nice! It wasn't the magic of Q was it?!
well the Angels had to clone Ortega, send him to the White Sox

and teach him to pitch like a chicken just to draw even…..

Juan Pierre grounds out to 2nd...

still tied 7-7, top of the 8th coming up

Sandoval grounds out to 2nd

Segura replacing Statia pops out to right.

Gameday is stunningly

Slow through a VPN. I’m showing Sandoval up.

Holy shit

7-7
it was 7 - 1 when i left
Could you go away just a little bit longer?

just kidding…

kid fell asleep

was looking at Fantasy trades before i need to make lunches

how it happen

Naps grand slam and 2 run homerun?

Q a few RBI's and Wilson the same...
Both making desperation bid to make the team

Biggsy was talking about how well Wilson’s been doing this ST

but doesnt Wilson and Q

suck?

How are the wasps?
WASPS

White? Anglo? Saxon? Protestants?

The one that scared the piss out of you today (1st game thread many hours ago)
ohh

it was a hornet. i really dont know where it went i hope it left the van

Single to left for lillibridge (sp?)
Who we got pitchin?

Thanks for PBP, btw

I’m working

Lillibridge steals 3rd
ground out to somebody... inning over...

Patchett BB

Napoli K
Q K
Carlos Ramirez K

Middle of the 9th.

Lucy walks... 1 out
That was quick
well it's 11:20 here... She was pretty tired
looks like there are about 100 pepole left there in the stands
night St games are pointless

I went to a ST game at Anaheim and it was soldout

Not pointless for Wilson, Q, Ryan, Alrdidge, Evans
Aldrigge was with the big club today!!!
i mean games in AZ

the fun of ST is drinking and the heat

for a 7-7 game?

horrors!

Q also switched to first if any one cared
Well, I liked Ryan playing first a lot--take Q's spot as reserve infielder too
Ramirez flies out to right
Tie game!!!!

not bad for how it started

Sweet Halo dreams!
I went to a minor league game with like 20 people there

it was a rainout makeup at 7 on a tueday. it cost 2 dollar to enter

three outs in the inning
yes, gameover
i cant wait for the season to start
there's no ties in baseball

I watched that comeback only for a freakin tie????

your anger is valid

i hate ties
this is why i love baseball

clip-ons are okay...
Oh god the 6th and 7th innings were hilarious. The White Sox radio guys are hilarious too
oh, now you show up....
how so?
They seemed completely uninterested in the game and in the last couple innings they started talking about other stuff completely unrelated to the game
And talking about how fast the Angels are when Napoli and Quinlan stole bases, comment on the balk.
yeah the Balk was pretty weird looking...
Steve Stone gave one of the highlights of the night...

as he picked the Angels to win the west…

Good man

Guess he’s not reading Fanshot or whatever…

Outside of Ortega, some good pitching

Stoked, PsyKo and Dehoyas

and Kohn
King Kohn

should replace Palmer

I can't believe that 27% of the voters above

don’t think Stanzilla will hit over 20 HR’s.
Are they expecting him to be injured?
He hit most of his bombs on the road last year.
