Kaz just doesn't have it today
I said it last year

I don’t like the trade. Not because of who we gave up, but because of who we got.

whole team lookin like they don;t have it today
I'll stay positive for all of us
I'd take a rain delay today.

Better hurry.

Awesome. 6-1
Good night all.

Peace.

Boy oh boy

Do we suck.

little late sosch
why did we pick up this guy??
cause it was him or matt palmer
this game is an abortion
I've got better things to do.
Yankees homer hack strikes again
Who is that

Coming into pitch?

Stokes
All the

“42’s” confuse me

all the red ones are awesome

all the other colored ones suck

Does Mariano

Wear #1 just to change it up?

Oh great, Stokes is in.
I need him to pitch well....

he’s on my fantasy team.

Kaz only throwing 87 now with the "fastball"

Maybe by mid-May his velocity will be back

Looks like Kaz was throwin BP
rough game again huh?

i cant figure out which team is playing worse now, the Dodgers or Halos.

They have American Idol!
Looks like all our critics will actually predict our downfall correctly this year

We look nowhere close to a good team.

its early

but theres no doubt this is significantly worse than last year. Only bright side is that we play in the worst division in baseball and we still can make the postseason

I'm not going that far this early in the season.

We’re not good but I’m not ready to throw in the towel to the “critics”.

There's still plenty of time

But it’s amazing what the departure of 3 players can do. Because, in theory, Figgins is replaced by two people. Aybar and wood, neither of which are doing as well as he did.

Remember that

Figgy was getting old on this team, but with the Mariners he’s a new sparkplug.
Vladdy was getting old and injured, but with Texas he’s an awesome power threat,
Lackey was not a true ace but now he’s a #1 in a #3 role

etc.etc.

Vladdy

And matsui are almost even, or so it seems so far. And I think everyone started thinking the sky was falling when we lost.

our team throws a lot of fastballs

which is cool if you can throw harder than 92

f'ugly...

Think I’ll go mow the grass…

more like meatballs!
Sorry to hate,

But please use the reply button.

im just kinda down

that no west coast baseball team looks like they got a shot to win the world series this year. Its been a while since our end of the country has gotten the rings.

add a few more favorite's to your sig and you might get a winner.
rofl thats my plan

thanks for giving me a laugh after this dismal game had me in the dumps

i may get desperate enough to put the Giants and A's on there
Just the way MLB offices like it
So what is wrong with this team?
We're losing right now

Gotta be something mental, you ask me they are offensively stronger than last year.

*rolls eyes
i hate typing shit in a list format....
hey Bobby

no need to run. Leisurely jog and hand Granderson another triple.

he probably was running

we just cant tell the difference. Very GA like

someone please tell me why we didn't get Granderson?
he was available?/

cries

I think Yankees traded for him?
Well, if only someone here would have suggested it.
we need a good mop up man

they need to bring Q back up

never thought I'd see someone in here (other than me) post that request.
We need a good

Baseball player

Sheesh, two triples in one game?
Sorry Jackie, this team don't deserve to wear your number
thanks Torii - I needed the point
Ohhh yeah

Go high socks

ok guys

u know this one’s over, relax in the box

I was so looking forward to a year of Granderson jokes.

FML, the guy is wiping the floor with us. He is the best player on the field tonight.

He's a very good player.

I hate that he’s in pinstripes. Seemed like such a nice guy.

love reading his stuff for Yahoo Sports though
yeah 2 on no out
i refuse to buy into the idea that we might score this inning
might need two wild pitches
I get excited

then disappointed

Lower your standards
ok call me dumb...

has the crowd been chanting “huuuughes” ? is that the annoying noise ive been hearing most of the game ?

I think so.

good... get his ass out so that cheer stops
Mmhmm
Rally time please?
WTF is going on here??
i'm growing a beard
Mindy Cohn declared the same thing during the 5th season of "The Facts of Life"
ill shave when this team is good
Dave Robertson pitching

quit being a yankee lover Rojas.

Something seems different

About morales stance

kmo.. make me believe again
a Yankee hat phone what will they think of next
TIME TO GET BACK IN THIS GAME GUYS!!!!
Yada yada yada

Be optimistic, it’s early in the season, wood will come around, yada yada yada

yeahhhh WP
one more and we score
how come Lane moves more on a freaking passed ball than a

play at the plate?

he doesn't want to get hit
How bad was the pitch he swung at?

Kendry? in the dirt.

cmon HK

gapper time

please dont line out to right
I know why peoples stances are looking wierd to me!

The number 42 doesn’t take up the same amount of space as their regular numbers, so it look like you can either see to much or too little of their back

woohhooo RBI gound out. I'll take it though
No reason

To dive

howie needs to try and pull the ball
he doesn't like the

cat of 9 tails that Hacker inflicts each time he pulls it

would have loved to see Howie do a hook slide and

take Tex’s feet out from under him

one run at a time

hopefully time will not run out on the Halos.

Hopefully the angels

Bats won’t outrun the halos

get 1

give up 2

bullpen logic

forgetting to place my pregame picks on these day games.
me too

and the site is blocked at work cause it thinks it’s gambling.

We just need to load the bases

and have abreu come up to bat and we’ll be tied.

Big swing by side salad

Nippless doesn’t get cheated…

Unlikely Naps gets anything good to hit

They’ll walk him if necessary.

That's for that extra

Mound visit

wow that knocked posada's chin off

…oh wait.

where was that?
Inside

and not a strike.

Yeah.

Sorry naps, that was a strike

canucks play like the angels tonight

i will cut

And that's it. Well we got 1!
I miss Jeff Mathis
screw Lane

that guy is a pos, no way Kaz gets that call

LOL

LOVE THE UMPIRES

THANKS ERVIN

yup - need to learn to not NAME NAMES
That's how you get black listed at Hop sing's
Lies.

Glad this team is sticking up for themselves

I don't mind the calling out of the umps

just don’t name names this early. People can figure out who the ump was.

I guess...
voodoo call out the umps?
yeah

he should call out his slider that’s been weak since 2008
or the missing 4 mph on his “heater”

wow

Way inside for k3yerout

Bad call; that was way inside
Palmer pitching
ROSIE!
where's her sisters?
big fat white flag being waved

on the mound

I thought I was negative.
OT but.

Anyone go to Katella High School?

Class of 99 here

it was near where I went to school
keep it under double digits Q Palmer
HAHA

I swear that last pitch to Jeter was a strike on Naps.

Sucky

Actor

he should take lessons from Pierzynski
palmer

throws as hard as santana and kazmir.

lol

Somebody needs to question The Soth or Butcher about Santana's and Kaz's velocity issues

Either they are hurt, or they’ve lost it.

Or

They were never that good

No. They were great.

At least Santana was in 08 and Kaz in 07.
I don’t expect them to be that good again, but they shouldn’t be terrible.

ervin is hurt

he cant throw the slider the way he did in 08, and the velocity is gone

Not buying that on Ervin
his slider is not thrown the same way since 08

he is a shell of 08 ervin, and it’s because of the elbow

Sam Miller has a good post at the OC about Ervin's last start

His slider is fine.
It’s his fastball that is getting rocked.

because they are waiting for the fastball

not offering at the slider.
he throws the 08 slider maybe 5 times a game now.

i also recall a few rockets hit off his slider in the twins game.

Also

the two homeruns Santana gave up in his start against the twins.
both came on sliders

Who should be pitching

Right now?

why the f does swisher have a ring

I hate Swisher.

haha

i was just about to say the same thing

from batchelor party
Thank you

For using the reply button

sorry, am new to this
Don't worry about it

Everybody does it at first. The good thing is that you changed, unlike some (Raddad)

someone please make U-Haul ground into a DP

thomas the train wreck engine

2010 angels pitching staff
sans piniero & weaver

just keep it under 10 Qalmer
Why is jepsen pitching?
you mean jackie robinson?
The jersey got me and my contacats are out. I just took a shower to wash this game off of me
Contacats? Are they eating the squirrels again?
That's not Jepsen.

It’s Enrico Pallazzo!!

I think we’re just giving everyone a head start before the Angels start playing.

whoa

arod usually dongs that

Cano

Seems like a twit

yeah may not want to give a good pitch to cano
palmers got some action on his pitches.
hopefully does not provide a good launch angle
Please

Palmer? Get out of it? Yes? Good.

Out of it now.
yankees acting job at the plate also adds to the game time

jeter, cano … " umm hello, do you see what team i’m on ? "

very tempted to put in ninja assassin.
Kaz: 4 innings, 2 Ks. Palmer: 1 inning, 2 Ks.

Somebody gonna get hurt real bad.

Ya, certainly not a good start for Kaz.
It is required that you watch this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ut0WDb-xzks&feature=youtube_gdata

Oh no, I had my computer muted!

Does it still work if you watch and sing along, but do not hear it?

If you still remembered it,

Than yes.

time for b wood to break out
anyone ever been to one of the Angels "yard sales"?

Are the items really expensive?

Not expensive.

But by the time they let non-season seat holders into the yard sale, most of the good stuff is pretty much picked over. Unless you like game-used Estaban Yan jerseys.

ahhh - thats sort of what I thought.
I've never actually been.

But their was a shit-storm here on HH a couple of years ago about it.

Hitter's count!
Bring on the robot umpires

Basic math says their has to be at least 60 ML umpires (15 max games per day and 4 umpires per stadium) They make up to 300k per year, so lets round down and say they make 200 k per season, it’s probably far more than that when you factor in pensions and great health care.

So we have MLB paying umpires at least 12 million a year. With about 75 million fans a year, MLB could afford to reduce ticket prices by 16 cents per ticket.

So I ask HH faithful……

Would you rather have

A) a 16 cent per ticket surcharge for fat pos umpires……

or

B) that money refunded to you and the joy of watching a game umpired by something
that is infallible?

only if they looked like johnny 5 from short circuit.
is wood still sittin on 2-20something?
Wood on, Willits drives him in.

(this is a report of what I would like to see happen, not reality)

gee I wish I might have had some idea where that pitch was.

great camera work there

got a whiff of Boner
wood...

everytime you K, someone kills a kitten. think about that for a while

Wood can't hit a 90-92 straight as an arrow fastball

cool story

Alright folks

I’m gonna crumple up in a ball and cry

crying, there’s no crying in baseball.

As if I needed

Any more reason to hate springer

BB for Willits
If there's one thing willits can do

It’s work the count

WHo would we bring up if wood got sent down?

If i read more i’d know this

He'll be benched before he gets sent down.
Well

He’d be on another team…soo…

say what you want about willits..

guy is doing his job tonight

as long as he doesnt have to rely on his swing

he is fine

wood could learn a thing or two from that statement
wood stares at the first two strikes most times

then ks

This might be hard to explain

but does anyone else feel like when everyone wears #42 that you are sort of watching the game through a mirror…. like everything just seems slightly off.

I actually have literally used a mirror to watch a game.

Watching Vlad as a lefty hitter was interesting.

Yea

Looks akward

I could've hit a ground ball

That hard

this team needs to spend about 40 million more
Or not play the Twins and Yankees 7 times out of every 10 games.
We.

Look.
TERRIBLE.

they'd just buy 7 fernando rodneys
Nah

6 F-Rod’s, one Stokes

Let's Go Angels!
did they score?
it's 6-2

runner on 2nd 2 outs. top 7th

Bring back Erstad if only for the reason that he wasn't afraid to drop a shoulder

our team lacks the desire to lay someone out on the ground unconscious.

wow i just noticed the 6 BB's total the angels have totaled...

and only 2 runs… pathetic

Bobby if their catcher catches it it's a strike.....
Bobby

Will be rung up in this AB. unless he hits it

CALLED IT
you jinxed his AB
He jinxed his AB

By taking so long in between the “strike” and next pitch

zone has been the same all night though

wide to the umpires left, and high

I hope Scioscia puts a lid on Ervin

tonight’s zone is ridiculous, and I can only think it has to do with his comments after he sucked yesterday

Thats funny

That the umps decided to wait a day before screwing with the k-zone. They must really like Pineiro.

i didnt see the game yesterday

sounds like a good one haha

You ever notice how gloomy it always looks at Yankee Stadium?

Because it’s always sunny here and cold, windy and dark there. So fitting.

that's what happens when you're the evil empire
So is it 'Marte' as in 'par-tay'?
That wasn't a strike.
It was a strike.
ever since the 1st pitch of the game

that left side has been wide, but kaz was working the other edge lol

i started watching just as kaz got pulled.

another frustrating night behind the plate i take it

nothing that led to any runs

he threw too many weak fastballs without mixing anything in when he got touched.
when he mixed, he did fine.

I tend to agree

rule 5.439 clearly states….

“if a catcher adorned with a NY non-Mets patch catches a sphere without it hitting the ground, then said sphere must be deemed a strike, unless referenced game is already out of hand with the previously mentioned NY team ahead by 8 or more runs”

IT'S BEEN A STRIKE ALL NIGHT

SWING

man NY sure got the short end of the genetic stick
Take your hats off

asshole Yankee fans.

Umpire likes to speed up the game when Angels are batting.
Of course

and allow Posada to have 6,000 meetings on the mound per inning.

guess they can't get a person to sing God bless America live at the stadium.
village people!
couldn't even get them... they have to play a recording of the song.
Don't they play "YMCA" at every Yankee game? Isn't that song the Yankee anthem?
n a u s e a
We know the umps were going to screw, and we only have 3 hits, and kaz sucked

Potential BOTG= Entire team

yup.. these guys are pro's... adjust and hit the damn ball
Thank the lord

They rung up posada on strike 2. On a related note, where was this Matt Palmer when he started

Matt Palmer is a solid reliever and

a godawful starter. Scoiscia got 5 solid innings from him and then got greedy…..

AB Entrance song

fail

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAH

FUCKIN MILEY CYRUS!!!!!!!!! (my eff word of april)

Hahahahaha

Party in the USA

is his walkup song

seriously Miley Cyrus.

. . .

wow

between that and random reggaeton

AB music should be nixed

haha...

i dont care if thats for his daughter… that is just embarrassing

yea Curtis Pride would be embarrassed by it

so sick

I love how they killed all the sound so we could hear it

I’m guessing Gubi’s idea. That guy kills me.

Yeah. I thought my13 was having a commercial/promo
Way to honor Jackie Robinson
dude Palmer forget tagging the bag

just show us you got guts and go push Granderson over.

Question: can teams mess around with walkup songs for the opposing team?

For example next time in Angel Stadium, can they play Prince’s “Let’s Go Crazy” when Milton Bradley comes to bat? Or “Send in the Clowns” when Swisher comes up?

I don't think they ever would

I’m not sure it’s against the rules though, but they do stuff like that all the time at minor league games

Correct me if I'm wrong

But I think it’s more of a home team deal. Other teams don’t get songs on the road. I could be wrong though.

yes, Home teams have songs for their players.

But I thought it would be great to mess with the road players. For example, A-Rod might be a bit surprised next time in Angel Stadium when they play "Macho Man’ every time he comes to the plate.

Teixeira...

Money money money money…… MONEY!

with a picture of his wife with a whip on the jumbotron
Absolutely! That's EXACTLY what I mean!

How awesome to play the O’Jays song “For the Love of Money” every single time Tex comes to the plate.

I think teams should do this. Great fun for the fans.

that would be funny
I LOVE this idea.
Sounds like an idea for a Fan Post.

Link the player with a walk up song.

Do it!

It’ll be a great way to get our minds off of this anemic offense.

if it is allowed

I say we play Nick Johnsons song exactly as is…… I mean then we’d just all point and laugh at him

Qalmer looks good

results wise

Bodes well for his position as long relief specialist
I love Magic Man Matt Palmer out of the 'pen

The guy is a stud.

this is the proper role for him
Hopefully the real Kaz will show up soon--healthy

so Palm-ster doesn’t have to start again

and the real saunders, ervin, etc.
and the really Nipples
Saunders threw 6 innings of 1 hit ball

then gave up some crap hits.

yeah thats true...

too lazy and depressed to look up the finer details

True--he just lost it a little that last inning
whoever relieved him let the inherited runners score if i recall
Key word:

“Hopefully”

Okay, one inning left to get some runs up.
at least 2......

but I’ll take 4 for sure

No, Rivera will pitch

the ninth if the Yankmes are leading. So, one inning left.

with a 4 run lead?

er, maybe less with any luck…

My bad...

you meant “at least 2…” runs. I thought innings.

"Yankmes"

Thanks for the laugh—I don’t remember hearing that one before but I probably just forgot

yeahhhh they didn't score any runs
Good job Matt Palmer
w/3-4-5- coming up its now or never
Turn on the Rally spotlight

Rallyman is please come to the rescue

Aside from 3 BB's. that was a solid two innings for the palmster
Ok guys take off your panty shields and swing some lumber
What was the pregame pick today?
more than 3 runs
Shit i did more
me too-I forgot Kaz doesn't get any run support

way to get 1000 points the other night though, dude

Thanks

You got to go balls out to win this

impossible now isn't it?

some guys have like 100, 000 points

Not

Ova yet!

Number of visits to the mound by Posada
over/under 15?
That bet would be way too easy.

Definitely OVER. By a lot.

better get to it now Halos...

its doubtful you’ll get it going against Mo

Jeter sucks
your serving the truth borther
Yeahh Torii - thanks for the point
torii white shoes Hunter!!!
what's up with those shoes?
tribute to Robinson I believe
We want Joba to blow the lead
One of my buddies just asked

“Does Matsui know who Robinson was? I mean, do they even have black people in Japan?”

Sometimes I really hate my friends.

Well, they don't know a hell of a lot about African American history in general

they’re still in denial about their own horrific history during WWII

lets go big lizard !
lol

big Scary lizard

LETS GO ANGELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope that works…..First in game post in a while!

yeeah might be time to change the sig brother ... lol
C'mon Acuda

We need you in here more. Kowbell needs you!

Well he just let me down with that weak groundout!

but we still got 5 outs to play with………gotta turn it up!

Haha, Winn playing like GA
I just started watchin last inning

How many #42 jokes have our announcers made now?

42... ba dam ching
GA in right field for the Yanks?
I HAVE A FEVER!
GO HALOS!! Let's get some hits
way to break up the dp though.
Will somebody just get a freakin clutch hit here!
JOBA COMING IN!

Hopefully he’s drunk (good chance he is)

Btw, Izzy has a minor injury
bring on slug boy
joba the hut indeed...

man has he expanded

Yes!

Good pitcher is in

whenever Joba comes in to pitch

at Angels stadium, we should reference his drunk driving past……….. and make him feel like shit

I like to bring it up every Freeway Series

when Furcal comes up.

What assholes.

I'm surprised Jayson Stark isn't still writing two page stories about this guy
No Joba

I’m the other Howard.

Late call
AKA........Yankee Call
Howie

Wasn’t running his hardest

man screw these umps

if Soth doesn’t get thrown out of the game he’s not earning his pay

I want to see if Jeter did the vicinity play too
Did Aybar get reamed on that again?
sigh

Oh… I’m back. Mrs red floyd wanted to go out to dinner

red robins?
YUMMMM
I wish.

I happen to like RR.

Would you believe Subway, followed by grocery shopping?

you didn't miss much
how was In-and-Out
That was lunch, actually!
Good night folks, nothing to see here
nite - thanks for the jokes I needed the laughs.
need homeruns

not grounders

are they even trying?
weak AB's all around
This suckage since ST is really getting old

and I don’t look forward to going to Toronto either

So...

Are the Angels only allowed one win per series?

WTF IS GOING ON?!!!!

K-Rod II pitching
Hello NHL playoffs
Go Kings!!!

This year’s Cinderella team

i got to go to some kings games

exciting stuff. although im a ducks fan

LIke em both really

The Kings have been due for awhile

yeah

my dad’ a STH… he’s pumped and has been sure to remind me every day since they clinched who made the playoffs this year and who didnt haha

I'm with you on that one

Let’s do it Kings!

Pretty sure the 'Yotes are the cinderella team this year.

Throw the snake!

they aren't even going to show a replay?
The Angels are playing so badly they should just leave the country.

They should be exiled someplace north to a land of snow creatures.

I bet all my points on this game.....COME ON GUYS!
Me too
how many points?
76 lol

I have not been playing as much as I should!

Ok WTF!

If you had a FOURTH ROW SEAT right behind home plate, why’d you leave?

Streisand is playing at the Met?
this should be fun
Looks like we're back to making everyone look like CY Young
When did

We stop?

you're right, my bad
Hey! This Rodriguez throws 95.
I can't see K-Rod II's eyes.
hey ... VELOCITY...

this is cool

He got under

That one

Speaking of our daily guessing game

what happened to the 17- odds in the beginning?
The rest of us can never catch up at 4-1

strike him out - c'mon
Napoli should pull some HS stuff and just forget to catch a curve.
SIT DOWN UHAUL
except for Kaz the pitching was pretty good,
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.........TEX SUCKS!!!!!!!!
F-Rod II

lookin good
other than Kaz, we pitched great—even Stoked!!!

Beautiful.
I really hope Kaz and Santana get it together soon.
I remember the last time

We had a rookie name Francisco Rodriguez pitching for us. Please God, let this be a sign.

World Series baby!!!!!!
I'm more worried about the hitting really

We have 3 starting pitchers pitching pretty well at the moment

OK, so what did I miss???
extreme Halo suckage
that's what I was afraid of
Hey! But we're all dialed in for May 15!!!!

Let’s hope they win some games by then……

Well, let's see.

First the earth cooled. And then the dinosaurs came, but they got too big and fat, so they all died and they turned into oil. And then the Arabs came and they bought Mercedes Benzes. And Prince Charles started wearing all of Lady Di’s clothes. I couldn’t believe it.

Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?
this isn't it?
Welcome to Angels Baseball aka SAW VII
everyone on our team has a better average than Tex. Willits is the only one lower - and today is his 1st game.
Palmer & K-Rod II

3 innings
0 hits
0 runs
3 BBs
5 Ks

Kaz's line looks pathetic compared to that
i will be stoked when the rotation AND the bullpen have a good streak simultaneously
This game is so long
Francisco Rodriguez

Nice debut

dude wtf kind of visit it this

there is no strategy here, throw some freakin strikes, don’t worry about the runner

Posada should be banned from visiting the mound
seriously ?

douchebags

Surprise surprise surprise

Yet another coaching visit to the mound

Skeletor wants to hook up with crack mama
has to wait til he dets to Anaheim
take strike, swing ball

awesome

Maybe our coaches should show an interest

before implosion

Ugh, I'm still holding hope for Wood, but his routine is getting a little irritating.
I need to find my response to all the "bring up Wood" posts

be careful what you wish for

ugh

his new swing he’s not going to hit for any power, and if we want an OBP, speed kind of guy we already have Maicer.

popout, flyout, strikeout, strikeout.
do they throw under hand in the minors?
no they just don't pathetic hitting coaches

that are only ML hitting coaches because they are best buds with the manager who has a lifetime contract.

I think they pitched underhand to Tex his whole career ; )

Until this year

another horrible AB Woody

maybe we should start tracking his foul tip stats… u know positive reinforcement stats a la the bad news bears

Is Kelly Lee a free agent?
i heard Engelberg > Napthis
reggie "get on only if i dont swing" willits
Hey--he ahd a double at Rancho C
video?
I think the 1sr baseman fell down and it rolled by him down the line
must have been a tricky bunt
Naw dude.

He hit it HARD, deep into the RCF gap (he was batting right-handed). Most pop I’ve ever seen from him.

Freakin Wood is picking up his back leg, instead of his front leg.....what the hell is he doing???
whatever the Hacker tells him to
2 Out Rally!!!
so glad I got home in time for this ending
Gubi turning into Hud

“the Angels gotta get a baserunner here”

really with 2 outs in the 9th down by 4, they need baserunners?

There's a vacuum at the bottom of the lineup today
Maicer had a good game yesterday

he can only play in 4 ab stretches, something about Soth’s Maicer Rules

wasnt he a late scratch ?

shoulder issue i think

Apparently he had tenderness in his shoulder before the game
Mice-tits was a late scratch from the lineup today.

He was supposed to start at 3rd for Wood today. He plays in 4 AB stretches so his fragile frame doesn’t crack. Guess it didn’t work this time.

better Maicer's fragile frame

than wood’s fragile psyche

What, that wasn't a strike? I'm sure Girardi will appeal
Well, at least Wood is still hitting .100

:/

better than tex
still not that encouraging
willits still sucks

is it that hard to tell him not to swing?

Taking one last shot at his first career HR
This is hard

To watch

How in God's name was that a ball?

I’m all for shitty calls in our favor (and GameCast isn’t exactly the most accurate thing in the world, but that looked right down the middle.

umpire deliberately calling strikes balls

to make the graph look even tomorrow

SWING THE BATS!
did aybar decide not to swing at all today?
Will remember this moment when we're kicking everyone's ass by the all-star break
Thank goodness we pulled out that win against Oakland in the 9th... or

((u.g.l.y. you ain’t got no alibi…. [you can sing the rest]))

Ha Ha

You suck #42

Hey

Just a comment to have 3 Valley dudes ina row

Jeter still sucks
Hey jete,

Get in front of the damn ball

He just won the Gold Glove right there
And Rivera is in.
Love watching jeter look silly.
Oh come on

You’re up 6-2, 2 outs in the 9th and you need to have a full conference on the mound?

That's why the game lasts 3.5 hours.
1 per inning

New rule

Al Leiter

actually called out Posada on this earlier in the game. Qustioning the need to go to the mound when you could communicate just as easily with hand signals.

You're low balling them.

This game is getting close to 4 hours.

At Angels Stadium

I know Aybar gets an error on that

the umps would get hurt by the mob if they did that here
Bobbeh singles

Torii hits a GS, Matsui goes yard to get the go-ahead run

IT CAN HAPPEN PEOPLE

:P

oK, so where are the moose again?
give me some of those drugs
Puff puff pass man
Now that Rivera's in, you can scratch all that crap.

I bet Joba let two on just so Rivera could get the save on the day that honors his number

Uh, Phil, do you have something new, too?
I can't believe they bring Rivera in

Douchebags

oh cmon Soth did the same thing with K-Rod was leading the world in saves
Yeah the save stat is awful
He's got you, Raaddad
Drat

gotten again

go canucks go
boooooooooooo

to that and everything

Well that sucked
We don't seem to be very good at the winning thing so far
What is this "winning" of which you speak?
Game Over?

Dammit, I tried to be optimistic. They just had to bring in Mo Rivera. Jerks.

That's what I'm talkin about

No clarification on the moose eh?
My son is going to start crying

I'll come clean.

I have nothing to do with moose, nor have I ever. I don’t think I’ve ever actually seen a moose in real life. I just thought it sounded hilarious. But tell your son I used to wrangle moose back in my lumberjackin’ days up in Canada.

(I’ve never been to Canada, either.)

I've seen Moose. He was with Squirrel at Frostbite Falls
Santana pitching May 15 I surmise byw
Goodnight Angels fans.

Tough 10 games, but hell, its not like we’ve never gone through a 3-7 stretch. Shit happens. Eventually we’ll start hitting our 7-3 stretches, and all will be well in Haloville again.

Going to cure my depression with some tetris before bed.
is that what they call it now?
That's funny

Because I was going to cure mine with massive amounts of pills.

I kid, people.

Good thing we're heading to Toronto next, Halos always do so fucking great there
You just ruined my weekend
i watched Higher Learning last night....

the scene “WHYYYYYYYYY??!!” comes to mind

If the Angels had just won Saunders last start, I wouldn't be all that

down about 4-6, but 3-7 just sounds pathetic.

Yaaaawwwwwn.

3.5 games behind the Pathetics.
1 game back of the Balsa Bat Mariners.

Relax.

I reserve the right to panic
I think we have Phys 2.0 in Rojas... he sounds like a yankee lover
dunno about that man...

rojas had a rep for calling like it is…. the angels sucked and the yanks did enough to win. i think thats what the broadcast sounded like

this sucks

No lighting of halos tonight ;-(

Maybe
the Angels could’ve gotten some clutch hits with the other Yankee pitcher, but no, they put in Mo-Rivera, one of the best closers in the game. Maybe that’s how the other team felt when the Angels used Percival and K-Rod. K-Rod always had a rep for putting men on base, then crushing the other team’s feelings.
