OH NO GODZILLA!!!!!
Game?

How long until game time?

5 minutes
DOES IT MATTER BASEBALL
Congrats!

On your son.

game may be postponed... again

at least according to the guys at the OCR blog

Delayed until 12:30, but it will be played.
Yay, baseball to watch.
The game will be played... but not now.
Mother Nature does not want to be shown up by Godzilla.
that's two games now

maybe mother nature is afraid of Godzilla.

Mother nature caused GODZILLA
Atomic Bombs made Godzilla

Know your historical facts

the folly of man

“I can’t believe that Godzilla was the only surviving member of its species… But if we continue conducting nuclear tests… it’s possible that another Godzilla might appear somewhere in the world again.”

there was that cloverfield fella
I was quoting from one of the movies.
Did you watch

Clevagefield

nah

The camera work, would probably make me vomit.

not very scary

bad acting.

in comparison to Godzilla movies?
alot of boobs

cleavagefield

Only if the Angels secure the contract first
sorry for my bad knowledge
What was Wood's HR like, yesterday?
I wish I could have seen that live.

I’m seriously considering getting out to a few games next weekend.

Anyone have the gameday link?

I'll go hunt it down
thanks

I tried to figure it out from yesterdays but I don’t know how they post it.

Here you goeth

San Diego at LA Angels
10:05am HST
Tempe Diablo Stadium

Do you have the package?

How did you find it if you don’t?

Looked at an older Game thread (ST Game 1)

then found the link, and changed the day date in it … VOWALLA … GAMEDAY BOOOOiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Hey! You're in violation of my patent!
leather shoes?
My patented method for finding the ST Gameday
This is the interwebs, and nothing is safe
I thought everyone knew about that lol
totally choked on trivia questions.

so bummed.

will not even touch with a 10 foot stick
Question 5 is giving me heartburn
same here

I think I have the first four correct though

I answered Celine Dion for all five
You must be the winnah
You spelled weinah wrong

OH!

Dis komputah dose no have the speil czech
What you do during rain delays?

I cry and make some of my own rain

Build up my Mota calluses
I can just see Hatcher leaning into Scioscia at Game 7 of this years ALCS

Mike Scioscia you have a responsibility no man has ever faced. You have
  your fear which might become reality. And you have Godzilla, which
  is reality.

Who has the MLB phone app?

What type of phone?

How well does it work?

My dad does.

On his iPhone, put it this way, he could listen to games live on radio through it, all the way across the Pacific.

I have an Android Hero

and they say it times out, so I haven’t purchased it yet until I they fix it or I hear different.

I heard the Iphone also has live video. Thats something the android lacks.

My dad still uses one of those rock-and-horn phones like Fred Flintstone had

Yabba-Dabba-Doo
not having to hear the 714-tickets commercial anymore is the best part
Rain delay? No sweat

I can just watch Arsenal whoop Porto on MSG+!!

Lets talk about the Sydney Swans

I wish they would play harder

Never an issue of playing hard, only of skills.

And I will be amazed if anybody knows which game the Sydney Swans actually play.
AFL

Aussie football league

Touche

And for a bonus point, where did they come in the ladder last year?

Worst football name ever?

Or does it make them more badass?

No

THERE IS A Canadan Soccer team called the Serbians

It's not brilliant, but...

The worst is in rugby league, the South Sydney Rabbitohs.

Rabbitohs

What is that?

Cereal?
pellets in a different shape?
Hence why they are so bad.

Everyone shortens it to the rabbits.

what is the best team?
In terms of name probably the.. Melbourne Demons (AFL)

But in terms of playing ability, the Geelong Cats (AFL)

what about in name
Melbourne Demons

Or, Penrith Panthers

there is a team called the magpies?
Indeed

The Collingwood Magpies of the AFL, arch enemies of my Mighty Sydney Swans

that is a weak rivals

magpies and swans

Better than the Rabbits and Roosters of the NRL
I see you know a bit about Australian sport.
wikipedia told me
Haha
but i still watch it when it is on american tv

once a year
the championship

Do you like it?

Last year was Geelong beating Hawthorn.

it is fun

no idea what is happening but it looks exciting

It takes a long time to learn all the rules

It’s like me learning all the rules of the NFL, it’s exciting, btu no idea what’s happening

true
But trust me

When you are in the stands at an AFL match, most exciting thing ever.

Alot of drunks?
It's an Aussie tradition.

NAh it depends where the game is and where you are seated. In the grounds in VIctoria, there are lots, up here in Sydney it’s actually a really family friendly arena.

i need to add that to my bucket list
Just like myself going to an NFL game

I hear they are pretty wild.

The best party is the tailgate before

before the game people drink and eat different meat items for 3 hours before the game no matter the weather.
Also the wetter the weather the better the game.

Niceee

AFL in wet weather over here is good and bad, bad because the skills are awful, but good because the tackles are twice as hard.

I've never seen

leg breaking videos more gruesome than the ones from Aussie football. Thighs snapped like twigs. uggghhh…

how is the baseball over there
Umm, in a word not fantastic.

Every year there is the state competition, where each team would have at least 2-3 either ex MLB players or A-AA players from over there. More and more players are being scouted and signed, like just a few weeks ago the Rangers signed a guy I played with for 150 000

The ACL from the knee snaps the most.

But yeah the injuries are fair horrendous. But the best videos are from the marks, where the guys jump off of the player in fronts back.

injure must be common?
Oh yeah

Every game there will be at least be someone from both teams who can;t play the next few weeks

do they get all there money

when they get hurt?

Yeah they do

But the money made over here is nowhere near teh amoutn of money in the MLB or any other American sport, because in all the sports over here there is a salary cap.

what time is it over there?
It is currently

8:15 am on the east coast. And time for me to go to school, all the best gentlemen

go swans kill the magpies
They are owned by Russell Crowe
i could totally kick his ass
The Dead Rabbits were the toughest gang in all the Five Points
I could kick there ass too
You b a bad mofo
that is what my wallet says

bad mother f

Sounds like game time
Ooohhh...It's starting.

BANZAI!!!!!!!!

Gameday still shows Rain Delay
I'm watching fox sports west

first pitch is seconds away

red floyd standing by

and staying on target!

Game is not on over-the-air

there’s some stupid informercial

SD has too many Hairstons.

Hairston is on deck and in the hole

Bugs Bunny style
Pat Burrell style
nice 'n dirty
In the words of our beloved(?) Governator...

I’ll be back….

Favorite Hairston?
anyone know the pitchers that

are going to pitch today

Ortega for the Angels
i know that

im talking about all the pitchers who will pitch today

Sosh should start Fuentes a game or two this Spring

Teach him how to keep runners of base in a no pressure situation

Where did the players go

Did Scotty beam them up?

technical difficulties...
FSWest

need to get this feed fixed

Oh, sure. The commercials work fine.
of course they do
They are acting like Ch.13

I think the wind probably had something to do with it.

game still out

huhhhhhh

nevermind

its back YA

well only one camera angle though
And crappy audio.
fixes Mota's voice

a little

still better

then a frozen picture

and were back!
I wonder...

do people actually listen to the programs that are on AM830 during the day… after the Sports Lodge and before The Drive?

Cause I’d really like to listen to the games.

People pay to air the programs during the day, that's what matters to Arte.
Izzy with a base hit and the Angels are going.
Thanks Alan

I need the play-by-play.

Haha, can't commit to it today, but I'm sure enough of us are here to help share the game.
HR for Morales right here
or a strike out
Or a foul tip strikeout.
which one is it?
Vladd#27 was wishful thinking.
a strike out is a stike out
2 ABs for Matsui today, he's down 0-2 on this first.
Cameras are all back

still bad audio

thats back to
nevermind, audio back
1つの球、2つの殴打
english!!!!!

LOL

打つ。 Oh健康。
Matsui strikes out!
dang
two strikes looking then one swinging weakly
What's Bud Black's record vs the almighty Soscia?

 I know Madden has had his number lately. Anyone wi those records?

8-10
Thx Vlad.

How bout Maddon?

no clue made it up
that's f@#$%d vlad

Lol

Ortega gets his 4th straight groundout.
Ortega is looking good
Great

Heard a lot of good things about him from last year.

Not in his cup of coffee...

he was terrible. I saw him start against the M’s and he got shelled.

I meant Spring Training.
afternoon all

Lets go Halos!!!!

good afternoon
So the almighty Adrian Gonzalez is playing today..
Quinlan >>>> Gonzalez
q for g

possible?

not a good deal for us

Gonzo only plays 1 position

Your a very samrt man

giving up to much for Adrian

84 days left

Until he is Yankee

Where would he play?

Teixera is at 1st. A-Rod is 3rd. Where would he play?

DH?
Would NY

Pay the premium of Gonzo to play DH?

I sure hope he doesn't get traded to Boston.

But where will he go?

hopefully not the M's or Bos
Forgot about Seattle

And they’d gladly move Kotchman for Gonzo.

Chicago

Mark my words.

I hope you are right

But I’d actually like to see him go to the Dodgers, he’d be a great fit in the community. Unfortunately the McCourts about to bankrupt the Franchise. Stupid Bostonian.

Checking in.
My tv guide says English League Soccer

but to my delight it’s ANGELS BASEBALL BABY!!!! Sorry this is the first game I get to watch this ST. I am honored to share this moment with all of you.

Welcome to the party!
Wow Ortega.

2 shutdown innings, not bad.

Woody up to bat now.

My Woody is cheering him on.

It didn’t help though.

Just wanted to say "hello"

first post of the year. cant see or hear the game but GO HALOS!!! look forward to joining in all year. just gotta get through college hoops season

Mota believes Mathis can hit .270
Did you see him in the playoffs last year? He can bat 1.000!
Smith saying Mota called the TB 2008 season in Spring Training.
Mathis flies out to center.
Or more succinctly ...

Mathis pulls a Quentin. ;)

Only if we could give Mathis Napoli's bat.
Which bat

Mathis would get laid more if he hit better

Judging from the Mathis jerseys at least year's game 4 in Anaheim against NY...

He can get laid all he wants as is. Well, doubly so after that game.

ladies dig the long ball

let’s not start that again…. please.

Reggie is due for a homer.

Guess not.

ya for the past 3 years

ikay masho Angels! (let’s go Angels) … (sorry about the spelling, but it is sounded out as best as I could).

Ortega still in there after going a quick two innings.
Ortega two outs away from retiring the order in order.
Totally jinxed him.
True.
Just like me prematurely lighting up the cactii...

oh wait, I didn’t jinx it, did I?

;)

Oh Shi-

ITS MATT STAIRS

ALL IS LOST

First hit off ortega

A double

our Triple-A rotation is stacked

Trevor Bell
Sean O’Sullivan
Trevor Reckling
Anthony Ortega
Timmy Mendoza

Damn.

Friggin’ Matt Stairs.

Mathis

get infront of the ball

Mathis

FAIL

just go home... PLEASE
go hunting or something lol
Or just get better. It's Spring.
he hasnt gotten better

in the last 3 years

will not get laid today
I'm Baa.aaaack!
Classic Mathis
Once again Gameday is FUBAR'ed.

Someone will have to do play by play!

Snap throw to third goes over Wood, runner at third scores
Mathis throws ball into left field.
At least he threw it to LF for a change.
Aha! He's versatile, then.
Nice Catch for Michael Ryan
Michael Ryan for MVP
[CENSORED] Gameday is still showing 0-0 end of second
OH NO HAIR! JR!
Another pick off toss. Soth is keeping Mathis busy.
Stolen base on a low pitch.
Mathis not looking good behind plate either so far
bring in buddie the elf
Congo
yes

talking monkeys

Ball hasn't been in the outfield yet

so I consider him reg. season ready.

So what's the score then?
1-0 SD
runners on

1st and 2nd 2 outs

1-0 San Diego in the 3rd.
Ortega walks Hairston on a full count, two on.
Strike 3 WTF!
Hairston is up to bat now.

(Hairston’s brother.)

Is that Hairston, or Hairston?
Hairston pops out to Aybar.

On to the bottom of the third!

Does that mean

Padres 1 Angels 0? Bottom of the 3rd?

Michael Ryan walks
Chris Young gone wild
Why do I want to do a Girls Gone Wild parody after reading that?
That would probably be a very boring DVD ;)
umpire fell

hahahahahhaaha

Umpire fell down!!!

ha ha

you guys are harsh...

hehe

Was it Eddings? Please let it be Eddings!!!!

Of course, then we’d have to stomp all over him

i think they

said it was minor league umpires today

Ah well, one can dream....
Oh no Ryan.

Bad baserunning?

hit and run

fail

Not really in reach of Aybar, no?
ummmm it was close
Gotta stay on the basepath.
that was ugly

I agree

Care to be a bit more specific for those of us without streaming?
hit and run was on

ball was in the right hand batters box, Aybar was hitting left handed

so Aybar swings doesnt hit it

Ryan stops half way

then plays tag with their SS

That is ugly.

Gotta keep running.

thay was ugly
great outing by Vargas, eh?

there’s a pleasant surprise

triple for Blanks
2 out triple. Damn.
Big boy can run

Triple

Fuentes gets him.

Chopped to Izzy.

Fuentes 1-2-3-4 inning
Gameday shows Stairs with a Phillies cap
Let's Go Angels!
松井 秀喜 could bat this inning!
for you guys who watch football

Antonio Cromartie has 7 different kids in 5 different states

had to get 500k pay advance from the Jets to pay child support… WOW

Thats Shawn Kemp like status.
Maybe the Chargers could use some of them as replacements.
hopefully they can

tackle unlike him

They should see if one of them can kick under pressure

Unlike the my namesake who gave all of us Nate’s a bad name. I don’t even have a football team and I was pissed.

Chargers are mine

i was super pissed

Damn breeder...
松井 秀喜 could hit a home run right now!
What did Izzy and KMo do?

And don’t say “flew out to center”

Got out.
both flew out to center
松井 秀喜 gets a base hit!!!!
Go Four Squares!!!
Godzilla base hit
Hell yes
First of many this season!
Oh no! There goes Tokyo!!!

As always, holding my Woody.

Maybe it’ll work this time.

it should be HalosHeaven on the computer
That post can be taken many different ways my friend.
That's why I supplied a picture!
Hey! Number 3 is coming out this summer

there ya go

Yup, I can't wait to get my hands on more Woodys.

I have a whole bunch right now, plus all the others.

The trailer looked funny actually

More Woody hooking up with Jesse (so to speak)

Oh yeah, I'm a huge Pixar fanboy.

If Pixar released 162+ movies a year, I’d love them more than I do the Angels.

Kids o' Raaddad

all psyched up for Toy Story 3 and How To Train a Dragon
The owl one—no

How to Train a Dragon was pretty good...

saw the first draft about a year ago.

really

animator?

Nope, just on a mailing list for movie screenings...

movietickets.com; join up.

Oops...

http://www.ocatv.com/

That’s where you sign up. Movietickets are the ones who invite you to the private screenings, but I joined up at ocatv first to get onto the email list.

Aldridge DHs for Matsui

also Aldrige changed his number from 19 to 22

Kazmir traded

pinch running then DHing
Wait, so Kazmir is 19 now?
They're playing Fun With Numbers
Gawd I <3 MLB streaming with no commercials...

…so you can hear everything between innings.

I’d pay double during the regular season for an option to avoid advertising and have an uninterrupted stream.

((sigh))

That's how it was last year, for $5 less!
So during the season there was no advertising between innings?

Damn, wish I considered it earlier.

I guess I’m assuming there will be advertisers during the regular season, maybe this time it won’t happen either.

It looks like this year they plan to have ads, but who can say for sure?
bunch of changes

new infield

Another triple for the Padres.
another triple

sigh

Sac fly, 2-0 score.
sac fly

2-0 SD top 5th 1 out

Nice catch, Mathis.

Inning over.

Bad call, Mota.
going to the bottom of the 5th
Mathis grounds out to SS

1 out

Reggie K's
I thought he was due?
due for a K
no for a homerun?
nope

hes allergic to those

Michael Ryan aka MVP

hits a Double to RF

Starting RF for the Halos in 2010!
So are most people in favor of Mota on these broadcasts or no?

I’m guessing if I asked would you take Phys over Mota, the answer would be…?
I know most of you would prefer Hud over Mota.

Dead horse, sure. But I still just don’t dig him. I appreciate his knowledge but it just does nothing for my listening experience.

I’m trying to be open minded and all but I guess it’s just a taste thing and he still won’t grow on me.

I hate Mota

ill take Phys over him

I’m not in favor of it. I didn’t like it a couple of years ago and it still hasn’t changed for me.

Thing about Hud is, he's a color guy. Mota and Phys are play-by-play.
I'll pay for Hud to take classes...

…I think his ‘behavioral’ approach and energy would keep me awake, even if he just repeated “Angels blah blah Angels blah blah”

I thought Terry was the play by play.
Crap.

You’re right. Terry and Victor are play-by-play. That means Gubi and Mota are color.

I like him thus far

I’ve been won over. He’s better as color on radio than interviewing on tv

what will happen first?

Mathis over 300
or
Willits homerun?

Mathis will win the batting title first...
Willits HR
Mathis over .250 or Willits HR

still Willits HR

I was being a bit of a smart ass in that...

…even with his lack of power to clear the infield, if the ball speed and bat are perfectly aligned, he will eventually hit one.

Mathis obviously would need a chain of talent, so percentage wise you are right.

But from a true potential, I’ll still take Mathis and some growth. We’ve seen all the upside Wilits is ever going to have, and it’s gone downhill since.

well he hasnt gotten playing time

Mathis has

Yes, might get lucky

and hit the foul pole someday

or Jose Cannseco

will make a come back and Reggie will hit a HR of his head

Head bounce homers

are priceless

Bourjos walks

1st and 2nd, 2 outs

Sandoval up

When willits hit a homerun

i will name my next kid after him

Sandoval lines out to 2nd baseman

going to the top of the 6th

Trevor Bell is in
Willie Davis

found dead today, 69 years old RIP

Seriously?

Loved Willie, he was a great guy. Met him numerous times over the years.

was with the Angels in 79 (way before my time)

played in 43 games

Gonzo flys out to LF

2 outs

broken bat ground out to second

going to the bottom of the 6th

Hello all, good afternoon.

Slasher52 checking in from the Deep South (get me outta here!).

This is the inning, I know the Angels will score!

((remembers you can’t edit or delete posts and panics))

You win!

HR Ryan Mount.

Thats right baby, I know how to call 'em!
((starts up car and heads to Hollywood Park))
I'll take the Trifecta.
Hah not for the ponies...

…but might as well parlay my blind luck into a poker game ;P

Then put it all on Black.

Or…

19. Hit me. 20. Hit me. 21. Hit me. 22…hit me.

Simpsons…

Efren Navarro bouncer to second

bad throw safe at first

1st and 3rd, 1 out Bobby Wilson up

Let's go Angels!!!

[clap clap, clap clap clap]

Alright. Looks like I came back at the right time.
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit smoking
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking.
Looks like I picked the right week to start both.

Supply went up…now I demand it.

Well played Mauer, I mean Slasher.
That's a funny commercial.
Need at least some Angels small ball for a sac.
Wilson >>>> Mathis
Wilson walks baseloaded

Bases loaded.

C’mon Reggie, just a friggin’ doinker, BB, something.

grand slam right here
Inside the parker...
I jinxed him earlier. I ain't sayin' sh#t now ;)
PLEASE do _something_
The Doyers lost Martin for 4-6 weeks.

Could the Angels trade from their catching surplus with the crosstowners?

Mathis for Broxtan
Deal.

Wanna buy a bridge?

Pick up GA?
Could be worse acquisitions....
Reggie, swing at a good pitch.

1st and 3rd, 1 out, Willits gets a pinch runner

pitching change for the Pads
Michael Ryan up
Totally random...

…but surfed TMZ to see if any new Big Ben updates and another person offs themselves.

http://www.tmz.com/2010/03/09/hard-rock-president-suicide-gunshot-las-vegas-hotel-casino/

What is it with all the suicides? Every single day it’s someone else. Sad times…

You're right

It’s tough times. I’ve been unemployed for almost a year, not a decent job here in GA. I should hang out with Big Ben, and keep him out of trouble.

I'm currently looking for work as well...

…and I have quite a strong background in IT but have done everything from lead to architect to manage to hands-on, etc. Laid off and never thought I’d end up here.

But it’s hard right now. You can’t really target what you want but rather take what comes your way. A lot of hurry up and wait.

But I don’t think his situation is $$$ or career, though who knows.

Well, on the plus side, heading out to the Arclight to watch The Crazies before the wife gets home ;P

Wilson scores on a base hit!
hit and run

Ryan hits it right where SS would have been

4-2 Angels 1st and 3rd, still 1 out, and Bourjos is up

4-3 Angels runner on 1B

Mount, Bell, Wilson.
NO MORE ERRORS PLEASE!
runner steals 2nd

bad throw runner goes to 3rd

This ain’t the way to impress.

Trevor Bell seems to have more than his share of bad luck on the mound.

  • REGGIE!!! Homer1 Game winner!!!!!! *********
Haha

I guess somehow it interpretted a combination of exclamation marks and 1’s as a URL. Heh.

1B screwed up the DP

1st and 3rd, 2 outs, wilson up

Wilson knocks it into the gap! Out to the wall! 2 runs score! TRIPLE!
that's the chunky monkey hitting like a pro
Yeah, Bobby Wilson
Wilson 2B in CF/RF gap

2 score 6-4 Angels

Wilson with the 3B, 2 outs Nate Sutton up

I think Wilson is making the case for sticking on the roster.
Mathis should be off

Wilson on

What about Conger too.

Sooooo many good catchers.

later in the season

he needs some time in Triple-A

i think he gets a September callup

starts in 2011, Napoli DH, Wilson backup

Interesting.

I was thinking about this earlier today. I was kind of thinking that Abreu plays DH next year and Napoli takes over in DH in 2012.

Sutton flys out to shallow LF

6-4 Angels going to the 8th

If Wilson is looking good

Maybe he can be traded to the Dodgers for some prospects. I don’t see the Angel’s keeping three catchers on the Major League Roster and I don’t see Mathis or Napoli going anywhere.

Mathis should have been released

last year

even with what he produced in the post season?

Wow… you are hardcore.

just sad that he's not on this team anymore
HEY EYESPY

EMAIL ME or check your email

karmaball1 at gmail dot com

a couple lucky hits

doesnt change my mind

what about the "great game called behind the plate"

doesn’t that count for something?

when i see it

it will count for something, but Mathis is a below avg defender… at best

Carlos Zabrano is a career .236 hitter

Jeff Mathis is a career .200 hitter

he is garbage

Will Smith in the game
grounder up the middle

almost hit Smith in the leg

Smith walks the hitter

1st and 2nd, no outs

fly out to the OF

1st and 3rd no outs

I was about to ask how this happened
runner on 1B caught stealing

2 outs, runner on 3rd

Work interfered with the Angels game -- how rude

Where are we now and what’s the score?

6-5 Angels

top of the 8th

2 outs, and a runner at 2B

2-2 count

Will Smith is pitching

hit in the LF/CF gap

ground out to the SS

1 out

Not that it will affect us

But have you guys heard about Chris pettit and that he will be out for the season with season ending surgery I just saw it

Yeah. Sucks. I liked that guy.
So do I hopefully he will heal well. I don't think there was any way he was on the roster this year anyway (25 man roster)

I wonder who will take his place on the 40 man roster though?

we have 3 spots on the 40
still I didn't know I though they had to be filled already
you dont always have to

have 40 guys on the 40 man roster

We've just saved an option year on him.
ya sucks

i think hes better then Willits and Evans

but he had options so he wasnt going to be in the MLB

yea I think he would def. bring more to the team than Willits
ground out to 1B

2 outs

Light it up
ground out to the SS
