LETS GO HALOS
I can breathe...
Here's to new mojo
wow Sosh where was that quick hook LAST NIGHT
no more suckage
Good night, all
don't be that way, welch-inator
let's FIND the mojo!!
momentum is underated
I wonder how I could get a job

Writing Howards commercials?

Fail every class in grade school. Drop ou of high school.

Sniff enough glue to kill every current and future brain cell.

That might do it.

haha isnt that how you get a job writing a "progressive" auto insurance commercial?
I love FLO

and her tricked out name tag

Her name tag? I never noticed. What does it say?
her name

hence the title Name Tag

UGH.

The white overalls, black hair blue headband, and bright red lipstick are enough to make me change channels.

that was one of the commercials

the benefits of working for Progressive. Having a ‘tricked out name tag’

you're thinking of all beer commercials

AND carl’s jr.

we know where the mo-fo is
Joe reminds me of Jim Abbott with his inconsistancy
Gonna be a long night

One hour in and it’s only the top of the third.

Let’s see if
Palmer can close out the Detroit offense. I still blame Fuentes for breaking the momentum from the 5 game winning streak. I gotta wonder the look on Weaver’s face when Cabrera hit the tying HR off Fuentes.

Hey did you know that Rodney's tears cure cancer?

Too bad he has never cried….and that’s why all the Chuck Norris jokes went away—because Rodney found out Chuck was taking his accomplishments and ripping them off, so Rodney finished him off with a 95-mph heater…

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100423/ap_on_bi_ge/us_sec_porn

Totally OT but I had to share.

that's a link back to here
oops

copy paste is in order then

that requires soooo much work....waaaaaa
Copy/paste it into the browser
Something was going up,

while the economy was going down

SEC Win.
I knew that conference was no good
hey palmer in against detroit

this reminds me of his very first start, high scoring with the halos winning…. this could be good. i was there !

hey

i was at that game too!

Let’s see if Palmer’s magic works. He seems to attract a lot of runs his way.

Let's go Halos

Howdy, y’all, from Berkeley, CA

howdy from across the bay
ola from the south bay
mmmm.... pop tarts
Time to send verlander to the showers
yea he needs to clean up all that "stink"
Yeah Baby

New Mojo.

Oh Behave!

Why am i doing so bad in my Fantasy team this week

have Joe and Verlander and Pujols and he is worthless this week.

I can't help but be pissed right now still at Fuentes and letting it bug the shit out of me...

…I know, let it go. But I want to punch him in that smirky face (even if he doesn’t smirk much).

He better not let him close the next opportunity or I’ll be making a vodoo doll and post pics of it.

I hear ya

I could handle a beatdown tonight much better if I wasn’t still sore from last night.

Wood looked worried

I wonder why

He's been reading HH

Also, he’s been receiving hate mail from Dale in Anaheim.

meh

need more Kowbell.

NFL Draft = Boring !
the 49ers drafted over 650 pounds of offensive lineman

protection for SMITH

You Chose that over Angels Baseball?
moosemastr

i am competing against you in our fantasy league?

No sir.

I have never played fantasy baseball. Clearly someone has infringed upon my kickass username.

ok

i am getting my ass kicked by mooses

You're getting pwned by Bullwinkle and friends?
That was the day I became 44FAN when Naps hit that HR off Verlander in his first plate appearance.
I have a baseball signed by Naps
Dedication from day numero uno
Our No. 2 Starter is pitching like "the number 2"
who is number one
the pitcher who wins while being pissed
doodoo
doo doodoo doo doodooo doo doodoo doo doodoo doo

heartbreaker with your 44…..

gonna tear Verlander

apart

he's laughing so hard at Wood's swing

he started to cry

keep battling naps
naps could breathe some life into this one right now
roll call

greasy start for Colonel

Way to go Nap
NAPOLI awake

Nice Ribby

MIKE NAPOLI!
odds on wood k?
lol everytime he hits, the count is 0-2
Just Chipping away...
Come on Brandon, put some Wood on the ball
The Mighty Splinter
He does a diservice to the bat
Hey Dick

Quit swinging like lil’Sarge

tying run @ the plate.. haaaaa

couldnt resist

he's soooo getting kissed
not anymore
that was posted after Naps

it was slow in posting

that you were referring to Brandon, although he could use some love
I love all those strikeouts and LOB's
Put Q in and we'll get the same results at 3B
Man Soth fail again

He’s going to have Wood on the bench once or mostly likely twice a week anyway. How about having a guy that is struggling with K’s sit against a K machine. Howie is a fastball hitting machine and he’s the one chosen to sit against a guy with a great fastball?? How did he choose to give Howie the night off??

Ouija board
Soth probably spilled a little bit too much alfredo sauce on it

to read it properly…….

this guy needs a slump-buster in the worst way...

foxfire ?

Cougar bite infection for the win?
the only place in the free world where a strikeout is IMPOSSIBLE
I know why Wood is #3

That’s how many pitches he sees per AB.

Cant we get Dave Chalk to play 3rd for awhile
I remember him well . Number 7 .
Can we permanently bench Wood?
That's called DFA
I said that the first game of the year.
put Wood on the pine?

supposedly that will kill his confidence — as if he had any left at this point

when has he had enough time?
who's there to replace him?
you mean how many people do we have in our system that can plat third and hit higher then .089?
he's not going to do anything with the Angels

Hacker f’ed up his swing beyond repair for this year.

too much hype?
we'll never know IMO

when he was doing well in the minors they’d call him up and he’d get splinters in his ass. So he never had consistent playing time in the majors until this year, but this year since he had never consistently done well, they “revamped” his swing which appears to be the last thing that ever should have happened. Gotta love those flyballs to right……

Things that make you say HMMMMMMMMMMM...

Will MS still put Brandon Wood in the line-up is he’s batting .025 ?

Let
Q get his start at 3rd? If Q in his first full game hits 2 HRs and comes up in the clutch while making spectacular plays at 3rd, Wood might be looking for a new job.

Wood will probably be waived at the all star break if he doesnt start hitting
what a waste
Fuggit

put in our mighty pus throwing closer direct from Colorado….John Denver

What the hell happened there?
trAdition creeping in
Jess Jeeeeeee-yes!
Did Soth really not see a ton of K's coming for Wood against Verlander???

I think Vegas would put the over under at 2.5

Naps with the GUN!!!
nice makeup throw Naps
Napoli makes up for the error

Way to Go!

If Wood’s not hitting by at least the end of the season, maybe Mathis or Napoli should start taking some ground balls during the offseason.

Woods got lucky on that one
Umpie in the "perfect" position...behind the play.
I don't think Wood ever touched him.
not before that right foot hit the base. he didn't tag the first body part aimed at him
Dude Wood can't even tag a guy when he has the ball 2 seconds before the runner

gets there…..

He hasn't earned the title "Wood"

he is only a Splinter

Thanks Tigers & Thank You BLUE for keeping us in the game
Let's keep this a two run game rosie palmer!
REGGGEEEEEEEE
Watch out GA .......errrrrrrrrrrrr Torii
REGIE, REGIE, REGIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that was a beauty!!!
Nice play

REGGIE

Reggie, Reggie, Reggie!

sexy little midget

Reminds me of them old pictures of Ty Cobb
Terry Evans

May as well register to vote in the state of Utah

Hold On

Can he play 3rd

Take note Juan Rivera ,
Reggie could follow up that play with a single - you know, keep the momentum going.
Let's Go Halos!
Hit a Home Run Reggie!
OMG! we knead to trade wood and fuentes tonite for some bats!!!!

gawd they fustrate me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

who would take them?
donation to the salvation army?
I don't think the SA is that desperate
u get a tax deduction

Next
Gold glove award goes to Reggie Willitis? Now if his bat starts to come alive,

Isn't it ...

when his bat comes alive he’ll win the GG?

dude Torii Hunter has it all locked up

did you see that catch he made 3 years ago????

Put Napoli at 3rd and call up Conger.....

this is pathetic!

it couldn't be any worse.....

than Matsui, and Abreu in the same outfield…..

lets get vlad back and put him in CF ... thatll complete the balky knee OF of the century
it was more gimpy that balky
Bit on the high fastball.
Let's Go Granpapi
at least we are keeping verlanders pitch count way high

still feel really good about this game

dude can throw more than 130 in a game
he's at 94 through 4...so he's got about two innings left then
doubt Leyland is stupid enough to trot Fuentes out there.....
Guillen looked Matsui-like on that play
Alright, I'm out.

Gotta read some Chaucer so the prof doesn’t chew me out tomorrow. Later folks. GO ANGELS!!!

canterbury tales?
Les Miserables
The Communist manifesto
victor hugo I think?
wow Palmer threw inside, we never do that
that was a good play woody
Can anyone explain to me how the Angels

went from unwilling to trade Howie Kendrick for Miguel Cabrera (I’m pretty sure Arte said something to the effect that the deal was in place if the Angels would have given up Howie) to sitting Howie on the bench so that a guy hitting .087 or something like that can play instead in like 2 short years?

Howie was just heating up too
Jesus

They’ve put a lot of time, coaching, and effort into wood thus far.

And everyone thinks they’re just going to shit can call that because of a slow start this season?

This start is beyond slow at this point
it is an epic bad start though...

he wasnt even this bad when he was getting spot starts during call-ups

YEAH!!!

If you don’t produce in two, or thre … nah one game, you get canned. THIS IS THE SHOW BIOTCHES

.238 'aint great, but it's not .087.

Wood is not filling in for Kendrick.

but Izzy could have played 3b
Wood is our starting 3B.

Like it or not. (And I don’t.)

you have to be patient, or you'll never get the next DMac
no way does howie make that

barehanded catch at 1B like Izzy … Face it, the cement is filling Howie’s defensive shoes and with Saunders starting tonight no way does Scioscia risk mister “past a diving Howie”

Georgie Porgie puddnin Pie
Injury saves a run
guillen just got sniped..

hope he’s alright though

Palmer's Luck
he said something to him after he tagged him too...

“sorry, you just got palmered”

That happened to Erstad in 2004

lead to Kotchman’s debut the next afternoon

I don't remember that play

but I would bet anything that even if Ersty tore two hamstrings he still would have scored on the play Guillen let himself be tagged otu on….

Erstad's was worse

he was crawling on all fours but they got him … looked like a war movie

Although I don't remember it, I can totally picture this.

Erstad would drag himself forward by his eye muscles rather than lie on the ground.

I'm makin' a ruling on this right now - This is officially a weird ass game.
yes your honor
Such ruling virtually guarantees an appearance by Fuentes.

Reconsider that motion?

But. We would be in the lead to see Brian tonight

I’ll take them chances

Ouch sucks to be Guillen.
Gotta look for them gopher holes

That
was just pure luck. Well, Palmer’s gotta take that.

One of those rally rats tripped him....
hungry for ankle
OM NOM NOM NOM!!!
Come on GA
He's too lazy play for us anymore
We've had a lot of luck in this one.

We’d better capitalize. That stuff won’t show up this weekend.

Aarrrgh, At-Bat went down.
If that guy can hit

put him at 3rd…

torii battling... good AB
how many innings is Palmer going to pitch for? 4 or what
Lots of good ABs against Verlander tonight.

Too bad it hasn’t resulted in a ton of runs or hits though…

4 runs in 5 innings with the Wood fail in the the lineup?

isn’t awesome???

If Saunders hadn’t have done poorly and been unlucky, the Angels would be sitting pretty.

Good evening from somewhere in the air over the Mississippi

or somewhere lie that. C’mon Halos…beat these bums

we need some killer breath right now
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
This is shaping up to be as long as a Yankees game
some of the fans are yawning
Who's winning the Laker game?????
ugh... The Galaxy??
thanks soccer fan
That was an epic ab!!
MATSUI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO STAAAAAAAAAANNNN!

GOODBYE BASEBALL!!!!
YAHOO!!!!!!!

GODZIRAAAAA!!!!!!!

**********************HOMERUN*************Hideki Matsui!***********************
Ooooooooooooooooooooooh Oh there goes Justin Verlander

there goes GODZILLA

cue the Godzilla jumbotron !!
Probably going to be it for Verlander then, isn't it?

No, maybe not looks like….

Gotta give him a chance at the W, thinks Leyland.
OOOOUUUUUTTTTTTTAAAAA HEEEEEEEREEEEE!!!!
Uh, now Gameday is all f---ed up.

It thinks Hunter homered and Matsui is now up after homering earlier. Are we peeking into the future?

tomorrow's game maybe?
Who knows?

:-D

Ok, there we go, now it works.
the future is dark and desolate, and must not be toyed with
I think we are very much still in the stone age as far as computing goes.
speaking of the stone age

mike cameron

Back to the future???
ahead to the past
Gamecast sucks too
my screen is frozen on a shaun white commercial
Eeeewwww.

…And I’m not even sure who that is…

frozen listening to that "More than a feeling" commercial would be a glimpse into Hell
Lakers are going down this game
who got sent down/ released for Fuentes to come up btw?
Francisco Rodriguez the Younger
FRTY
FaRTY

didn’t stink as bad as some pitchers’ crap

Palmer could end up with the win. That would be nice.
still losing
Just started listening.

Why can’t Verlander be taken out?

he is historically a five inning guy.
No pull clause in his contract

killed him in high school though

On the radio

They were saying that Leland was getting in a tough situation because verlander has thrown 119 pitches. Why don’t they just take him out?

Damon is going caveman again
why are fans booing Damon?
maybe because of lastnight

or the fact that he’s played for the Red Sox, Yankees and the A’s????

And everyone hates

At least one of those teams!

seems like a lame reason

seeing as Aberu, Matsui and Rivera all played for the Yanks

pssst

He played for our other two big rivals

yea it was weird seeing Ju-an

playing against us in a 2002 ALDS replay

they don't think his ass is the sweetest in the league
damn that pitch looked good

no love for Palmer

i think the outfield tv cameras

are not aligned with the actual corners of the plate

Correct
Gameday agrees though. Palmer through a couple borderline pitches that could have been call strikes.
What if Damon gets ejected two games in a row?
do you mean like does he get fined or something?

I don’t think so….. I think he just showers early two nights in a row

Lets win guys!
Yeah! Let's Do This......Yessss
isn't Magglio the name of a Muppet?
It's actually the name of a line of Venezuelan hair care products
I'm the other howard
I've actually never seen a howards' commercial

i feel depraved

and deprived too

possibly both??
you look different somehow
I changed to my Godzilla avatar....

in celebration…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqQoYK6GhSw&feature=youtube_gdata

Wow

That was the worst commercial I’ve ever seen

That channel

Has a few

don't know if i can take another one

i have kids to think about

Well now you know

Why we talk about them so much

Howie Does Not Sell Flatscreen Tv's or Appliances
Brandon should be doing that soon
maybe that's the real reason he has the night off
WTF Zumaya is their 6th inning guy???

man Leyland plays for keeps… unlike someone else…..

Really think it's a good idea to bring in your best arm against the dregs of the opposing lineup?
depends how he plays the rest of the game

If he has Zumaya go at least 2 innings I think it’s alright, but yea not very smart at all if he doesn’t

Considering he pitched 2 a couple nights ago, I don't think mike would do it.

But I think Leland will do it. Of course, you’re risking another arm injury to Zumaya. It’s not a coincidence he’s been hurt a lot the last few seasons.

I'd rather a guy go 2 innings every once in awhile

which I agree Soth doesn’t do too often, rather than have him warmup a guy and then only have him 8 pitches even when he’s dominant like he did with Bulger lastnight.

Oh I agree there's nothing wrong with having a guy go two when he's cruising.

But I look at Zumaya’s arm problems last few years and wonder if there isn’t some wisdom to being protective of your power arms.

M Cab plays for booze though, so we still got a chance
in my front row seats right next to their ondeck circle I yelled at him lastnight

Hey Miguel you want to go get wasted tonight, it’s not like you got a playoff game tomorrow or anything.

-200 Wood strikes out here.....
wood looks like crap
Guys need to cheat on their swings against Zumaya
Whoa!

Wood Made Contact!!!

0 fer 1,000,000,000.00
It's really not fair putting Wood in front of these power pitchers
yea he's going to sit a couple times a week

and you can’t make it the times he’s facing guys that throw 100mph? when Howie has never seen a fastball he doesn’t like???? GFG Soth

Well, tomorrow that ball is going to look like it's going 60 MPH by comparison!

So of course he’ll just swing way too early.

Not fair ... as in "he sucks"?
Gubi just psuedo explained leverage.....

more momentum than leverage though

If Willits was ever going to hit a homer

this would be the guy he’d have to do it on

yup, it would just richochet to the stands
Lakers Lose
Is that possible?
I just saw Wood put the ball in play

so I think ANYTHING is possible

not a very intimidating team right now
lost to a damn good young team that feed off the crowd's energy.

Hopefully this wakes the Lakers up.

i was hoping the last 2 weeks of the season would've done that
Kobe stuggling in the 4th didn't help either.

Fisher keeps getting lit up. It won’t be pretty knowing the other PGs awaiting Fisher.

they look slow
they'll still win the series

no worries… yet

Took too many 3's
our offense really blows, no fire, no continuity, just god-awfully weak
Well we have a National League lineup.

Except our Pitcher bats 8th.

greetings fron nj

my dad and bro are at the game

can one of them hit a 100-mph fastball?
pop quiz

who on the team has more K’s this year than Wood?

Aybar?
by 1
Twice as many ABs?
more by like 10...i think wood will overtake him in a game or two though
Matsui
matsui is close but i think wood is starting to break away
K-Mo
pop quiz: who has more RBI's than Wood?
How about my Mom!!
Me.
Lincecum
has more than Fat Papi too
How about palmer keeping us in this game

Go halos!

Very good stuff.

Even if there has been a lot of Bad Tiger Karma involved.

Palmer has done a good job tonight,

but i still don’t like him. I feel like he isn’t as good as everyone thinks he is.

I HATED him too originally

but the guy has a major league curve and plus movement on his fastball. useful guy to have.

It's Luck, son.

Or faith?

Rosie and all his sisters deserve credit
Need to stay within 1

so that an error and 3 wp’s can tie it up

Shields is pitching for the tigers now?
You crack me up.
How many doubles can a team hit in one game?
With this outfield?

15 minimum

Brandon Wood

Mikey is patient, (for better or worse)… remember how long he stuck with Steve Findlay?

Finley was at the end of a mediocre-to-good career.

Wood is at the beginning of a absolutely shite career.

how much did that blow, watching Findley's dead bat game after game
Can't forget Shea Hillenbrand

At least they aren’t paying Wood anything.

Where did that miss?
it didn't get hit...therefore it's a ball
nolan ryan would have got that pitch

where’s the love for palmer?

I think Rosie is doing fantastic. It was a bad call
how many RBI's did you

have when you played those years ago?? member?

Palmer

Is really pumped up

I could be wrong, victor rojas,

but im pretty sure it wasn’t Mathis who held on to that foul tip.

Shhh, it's a secret to everyone.
60% of the time, it works every time
"the fans go crazy" referring to 'Buttercup'

but it’s not the good kind

Good kind of what?
i don't know karate, but i know ca-razy
I thought maybe the wrong kind of "Buttercup".

Glad that was clarified.

you going the 15th, YWC?
i will be there. you?
yup! It'll be good to see you again!
If a guy throws 100 mph

You don’t need too much strength to hit it out of the park.

Let’s see some more homers.

I think B Wood's bad mojo has spread to the rest of the offense
Bobby's brain fart cost us a run
Alright!

Nice hit Chupa!

I think all the kids went to bed

a lot less rambling going on

no we didn't
you're grounded mister
Offense Offense Offense
bobby is getting

the run back…..

Back to back hits are just as good :D
playin shallow kept him from gettin that one
Abreu!

LET’S GO HUNTER!

HUNTER IS DUE!
mini sirloin burgers!!!
Has Bobby redemed himself?
Only if he scores the tying run
2 wp's
How Many times do i have to tell you:

That won’t happen unless we’re facing Scot Shields

Lightning flashes...
GODZILLA TIME!
Dang.

So close

Torii almost got it up the middle
I need chocolate!!!
Lefty?.....Mothra!
Roll Call.

I’ve been watching, but its hard to keep up with so much going on. Doesn’t help that 2 weeks of midterms start next week. But all is good, as long as the Angels win!

now only need 1 wp to tie
or 3 hbp
or a balk
Or three catcher interferences
Stolen base.
I'm amused that opposing managers keep bringing in lefties to face Matsui

He has almost no platoon split.

Has any body noticed? That very blonde babe in Boros' box is back.
Thank god that one got out.
just what I was thinking
You got this,

Matsui

that's what a good bullpen does
Stan, Stan

you keep doing this
We get another man

Angels blowing it
not to worry, Woody will save the day
we could only hope
will he go to Soth and tell him to PH for him???
I really want to believe that
LETS GO ANGELS

GET SOME RUNS

Spokes

is in. Hope his wheels don’t come off.

hurry up, I need to go to sleep

early morning!

DAMN!!!! REGGIEEEEEEEEE
REGGIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Reggie Willitsssss
REGEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

PANTHER!!!!!

If only Reggie had power
he can run & he can bunt
Reggie!

Got up like, “What? I do that in my sleep. Torii who?”

Another double

If Torii was in CF.

Rojas said inside the park homer
if the ball got passed Wilits and he couldn't make the catch
Torii couldn't make that catch

the way he has played this season

REGGIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I'm reminded why I like Reggie!!
Reggie Illits - Gold Glover?
gold medal bubble blower
great catch Reggie
Speaking of bobbleheads

someone/people/gangbangers have been breaking into my classroom, and they thought it would be funny to dismember my Naps bobblehead…. So sad……

they also steal my lousy school computer and random stuff
You should leave them some sort of surprise
Who wants to steal from schools

they have no money, and they are all full of old and crappy stuff nobody should want

well they break into the other classrooms and steal the LCD projectors

that are in every room

what about

document cameras? Or do you use overheads?

mostly every school by now has document cameras

except for mine, and we are apparently ordering them. If I had one I would take it home over the weekends and hide it all the other times.

I've got it

Get a small lock box. Leave some rotten eggs or a deuce in there before you leave for the day. Then put a strong padlock on it, like strong enough that they will need to carry it away and use bolt cutters.

Then, laugh when it’s gone in the morning.

n1
You're welcome

Former Marine, Former frat guy, and I have a younger brother.

I know how to mess with people.

you're a teacher?
you are apparently shocked by this?
You teach middle school,

I take it????

nope HS

I would go crazy at a Middle School

i didn't know...

haha not shocked

those bastards!!
that's why I said

obviously bastard Dodger fans

did they eat his face??
Geez

that was beautiful…He knows he has it all the way

Reggie could have screwed up his arm on that one
wow....good pitching tonight!
k3yerout
Let's do this Angels.
yeah

where the hell is howie?
not like we have more than 2 .300 hitters right now

he's selling flatscreen tvs
Will Mikey pinch hit for Woody?
now I'm really scared

Fuentes is warming up

he needs the work

unless we get the lead

hopefully he's helping a catcher break in a new glove

then again, he probably doesn’t throw hard enough to get the job done

rofl

but don’t you want to break it in with some actual heat? :o

Kendry

Still sitting on just one walk this season. And it was intentional.

if Rojas says "double-barrel action" again, i will have to bust out mine
nice leadoff hit

lets get it

Morales on base!
sacrifice?
I dunno...

Izzy is probably our best changes for a hit…

kowbell single

Very nice leadoff

Leadoff hit, I feel a rally coming on
Nice hit by Kowbell.
sac bunt. we need to play small ball right now
instead of smell ball
do you have a hot Lasagna line directly connected to the dugout?
If you make noise, he will come
Ron Jermey?
Not that kinda noise...but about as hairy though
Jermey...that's a funny typo

I imagine he is germy! hahahaaaa

you're a "lady"bug and you know who he is? hmmmm....
oh please

Ron Jeremy is his own marketing campaign.

You might be able to fill Fenway with his...um..."list"
Let's Go Angels!

Let’s win this one now boyz

Is Izzy really bunting so that Napoli and Wood can drive him in???
Fear the monkey!
get it through the hole
let's go Boy King
Fling the flaming monkey poooooo

< insert flaming monkey poo gif >

shock the monkey
which is more sculpted: Izzy's beard or his eyebrows?
those brows have been prominent from his first days as a halo
eyebrows

like Pudge….highly sculpted…err waxed

Hit it out Napster
Oh mice tits
gazoo- k3yerout
that was way cooler than moving the runner over
Curveball Galore

oh noes.

Nap's a looker
women do find him attractive, even with the beard
unfortunately
i heard a rumor that Naps mashes...

make me believe Naps !!

Thank you

Howie is on deck

Kendrick to bat for Wood.

Mike playing to win.

Wood might be the most relieved
WE WANT WOOD!
and everyone else wants to win lol
C'mon Naps....
bring back the Naps of 2 yrs ago!!!
I'll settle for the one who hit 6 HRs during Spring Training
Sosh is doing all that we ask.

if I were sosh, I’d make Rodney our closer

you are sooooo NOT getting laid, dude
Bring on the robots

I hate umpires

each batter has their scan card

they scan prior to stepping into the plate and a computer automatically calibrates for strikes and balls

we have the technology

but we also have a bunch of old geezers running the game

because you know how many people come to the game

wanting to see umpires umpire

but no umpires would mean no umpire school

i couldn’t live with that

God dammit Napoli, how do you just look at that?
he was suppose to
come onnnnnn

thats wasnt even close

Come on Mike

Why look at that one?

That was not good.

Methinks both Naps and Wood’s confidence have been destroyed. Although Napoli SHOULD feel more comfortable this time around…

Given that he definitely has the every day job for at least the next four weeks...
the mustard's off the hot dog
Wow. Not really.

Especially not after the zone you gave Palmer.

this offense BLOWS!!!!
advancing the runner fail
Looked a bit outside.

But then again, i’m a homer.

okay

when Howie fails here I want all you Wood bashers to demand we cut Howie

CUT HOWIE NOW!

WTF ARE YOU DOING SOTH KEEPING HIM IN THE STARTING LINE UP WHEN HE CLEARLY SUCKS AT BASEBALL.

I haven't been dissing

Too much….yet

when howie fails?

nice faith in the guy….looks like we dont have to cut him

reverse mojo

working here

NOW you say :)
I TOLD YOU HE'S A LOOKER
Pat, I'd like to buy a homer?
what happen to manufacturing runs

soth is trying to play NL ball again or what?

Maicer was our best bet for a hit there
Kendry can't steal off a 96-mph fastball
That was the same pitch asshole!
brutal k3yerout call Blue
at least we have willits leading off next inning

might work a walk

Innling alive.
Howie keeps the inning alive!
Woooot
Inning still alive.

Gracias HK.

Sniff the bat
no pinch runner for the cuban ?
Q's only man left on the bench.
Rivera in to bat.
wow Sosh is working tonight
Vindication!
Reggie! Reggie! Reggie!
Let's go Number Juan!!
uhh Rodney is now warming up in the bullpen?

shouldn’t this have been like, last night?

Who the hell plays CF now
Torii.

Matsui DH’s while Johnny plays left

no

You can’t double switch the DH. We lose the DH postion doing that

they could put hunter out there, and just sacrifice the DH spot
Johnny Rivers sucks in the clutch
And I was thinking

It was willits’ night

Uh.

Who is going to play CF in the 9th?

Torii

probably

torii

we lose the DH

I'd have Bobby play CF

you don’t really want to lose the DH unless you absolutely have to in a game that might go extras

let's go bat sniff
Lets do this Juan!
Soth is just happy he had time for thirds tonight
Quinlan is available!!!
yea this is the time I really question

Q being on the roster.

He doesn’t hit for average so you wouldn’t pinch hit him when you need a single
He doesn’t hit for power so you wouldn’t pinch hit him when you need a homer
He doesn’t run well so you wouldn’t pinch run him.
He doesn’t play defense well at any position……

At least bring up someone that does 1 of those 4.

sniff it, juan
aromatherapy
woo hoo runners advance
Lousy single puts us ahead Juan.
cmon angels!!!

PLEASE!

YES!

Now hit one for Jobu Johnny.

Balk
Is what I want.
damn

stop hitting Juan

JUICED

for Ackbar. PLSPLSPLS

It's a TRAP!
HBP

bases GMJ’ed

Hah. I like that one.
Hey, why you hittin' my boy dawg?!
Rivera

looked pissed

ruined his plan to groundout to short
I don't blame him...he keeps getting hit
He's seemed upset the last couple of days

Cussed after he struckout last night.

What'd he say?

Details details details

I dunno, they cut out real quick, but he definitely yelled something obscence

Sounded like something involving the Lawd’s name…

Juan looking to become an MVP

ALA Baylor

Oh yeah...

Baylor was a good target!!!!

2 strike outs, 1 HBP, and one infield single

this is Halos baseball

batters box offense?
Eish

Don’t like scream.

who closes when we get the lead?

quinlan is fresh and ready to go

Aybar is up???

good…..all we need is two!!!!

Groove Baylor never rubbed it
Laird is like Ricky Vaughn....

“He was right on top of the plate!”

Talk about a pinch hit!
whadya say now kid. whadya say whadya say
C'mon Admiral...
he took the pitch he had to hit

1-0 fastball, what else you going to look for there?

F word

Echoed here...

no, i think we’re safe from fuentes for now

DUDE! you HAVE to sing at that.
swinging would have been better than singing
I'm so pissed I can't type...
I've taken to listening to this game with Benny Hill in the background.
his music fits..lol
Benny Hillifier FTW

Yakety Sax

I'm very saddened that the speeder-upper has been broken for over a year now!
WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
Fuck you Aybar
ughh

I wish I had my bomb with me

you can borrow one of mine
I have some saved up

help yourself…

Why the hell is everybody looking at strikes down the middle?

Get the bat off your damn shoulder!!!!!!!!

ugh

protect the plate !

SHIT!!!!!!!

Screw the beer, it’s tequila time.

Downside of patience.

Gotta know when to hack Aybar.

yea Bobby is good at that

dude is all patient in the right spots but bases loaded or in a situation he knows he’s going to get a fastball he goes up hacking.

Figgins used to drive me crazy.

Hopefully Aybar learns to stay aggressive in those spots.

he got fooled. was looking for a breaking ball
looking for a breaking ball he wasn't going to hit well even if he got it
I wish I hadn't used my

F-bomb already.

some real pussified hitting going on this year
aybar retains the halos K crown
What was that guy thinking eating Jack's face?
Sniff Sniff

It was a trap

I'm gonna eat your face

keep it up

Aybar ate his face.
f'ing k3yerout Eybar

Looking? Really?

its okay...Q will get an atbat
HAHAHA

Juan in center

Doesn't he belong at second?
i think juan is spanish for 1st
Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Abboooootttttttttt
LOL
this lineup has 4 guys that could all be #9 hitters
i hope you are not including wood

he’s not so much a hitter

Slowest outfield EVER!

Remember when GA was playing CF for us?

GA actually hit his first HR of the year today

and just like old times for us, it was totally meaningless

Johny Rivers the new Willie Mays
oh this should be fun

Rivera in CF ?

Umm...

What’s wrong with torii?

Lose DH if you use him

Which means our pitchers bat

What

don’t want them giving Wood a run for his money?

What's the problem with that?
What is Hatcher's offensive strategy?

Don’t swing

Swing, no don’t

Don’t, I mean yeah don’t, I a ah …

the only saving grace was that Wood didn't have to get another K
I have no idea why Mets fans liked Stokes so much

straight fastball, decent command….

I don't think they liked him

he was statistically one of the 5 worst relievers last year

a lot of the Met's fan reaction I read about the trade they seemed to like him

unless I totally didn’t get east coast sarcasm.

I think they just like the fact that he was leaving
stokes lost about 5 mph during that half inning

he is shitty with the extra 5mph, so … DANGER

I hate losing records
that is why you take Wins when you can get them

ie last night

Don't worry sports fans.... Godzilla in the ninth
*Cue Toho Films gong sound
Do we currently have the worst defensive outfield ever out there?
I believe the Braille Institute of America had the worst OF ever.
What's the definition of endless love?

Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder playing tennis…

That comment was perfect
so the RIGHTY walks Mcab

but the no zip Fuentes gets to throw BP … tota logic

oh look my words are sharing letters again
our effin bullpen keeps us in the game and we reward them with 3 lousy hits

unreal

huh......

Bulger 3 games in a row in a losing game????

thing I really don't get

2 games ago he threw 1/3 of an inning
yesterday he threw 8 pitches.

throwing more games is worse on his arm than if he was allowed to pitch longer when he is in there

advise as to why Bulger comes into the game

I feel a 3 run bomb coming

Soth is thinking ahead

To tomorrow’s game.

Outfield defense is cool I give Bobby's boiler a 10......for size
Bulgers fastball is down to 89

throwing 3 games in a row

why bring in bulger to face a lefty?

does mike even look at splits?

only ones that start with

B-A-N-A-N-A

This is a great

“ZING” thread.

He actually uses a complex algorithm designed by some kids at MIT
no wonder we keep losing

he’s letting Red Sox fans decide our fate?

Oh bulger
Some Drunk fan

is really giving Kelly a rough time

Give him a freakin' medal!
I would say: "D Kelly? More like D Smelly!!"

burn

I'm calling this

Bulger walks this batter then gives up a Grand Slam.

That’s what he does.

that would be a pretty big bulge.

i do not want to see that.

Yep here it comes.

The Grand Slam Specialist shall strike again!

half way there
he threw a filthy bulging curve!
No Victor, walking him is NOT, what you wanna do.
They need to have a Keystone Light Unsmooth Moments clip for each game

We just had 2 in the last 10 minutes.

K'd !

building up the suspense

That's even better
Phew.

One more to go….still an opportunity to give up a fat one…PLEASE PROVE ME WRONG JASON!

Just making sure I have this right.......

Rodney can’t go 3 straight games with a save situation against all righties…..

but…. Bulger can go 3 straight games when we are DOWN in the 9th…..

Does that make sense to anyone?

but... but...

“fuentes is our closer”

thank god we are behind
i suppose that is the only good thing about this
Not really, no.
The lord doth work in mysterious ways
it makes perfect sense

if your name is Mike Scioscia

Nice recovery.

2 out.

The "Bulge" is deal'n
Thank God

Laird sucks

they squeezed him
a little outside

but i would’ve rung him up because it’s laird

ibelieveibelieve
YES YES YES YES YES
Umpires are all sadists
YES! THANK YOU FOR PROVING ME WRONG JASON!!!!!!
uh, same location 2 pitches ago blue!
YES!! NIIIICE!
like Houdini

outta the jam!

huge bulging pitch!
YES!!!!!!

Lets score some friggin’ runs!!!!!

What a difference a year makes for Bulger!

At this time last year, he was giving up Grand Slams left and right! Now he’s great!

Its amazing how 2 games

can completely change people’s opinions of players.

or 45 seconds
yea but

the guy did basically finish the year with an ERA around 2 the last 3 months of the season

Well yeah

The scars heal slowly, though.

Just glad to see Bulger can get out of these jams now!

walk off win, let's go
THAT IS A CUT THROAT SEQUENCE

AND I LIKE IT

Fat Chick Super- Size Me!
JB does it

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G

this is the good Bulger we remember from last season
Laird wasn't ever gonna swing at that pitch...he started walking before the release
I'm getting a Bulger!

better than Wood!

Get ready to "Rory Marcus" 'em

Godzilla……Hie!

Bulger is a GOOD pitcher.
Bulger had his breaking pitch working
Bullpen tonight: 5 hits, 5 walks, 5 strikeouts

It’s like, you know, a sign man

5 5 5 dollar foot long
maybe some damage by a couple of more?

Back to back backs npw.
Let's Go Angels!
Go! Fight! Win!
Whose belly's bigger...Booby's or Valverde's?
baseball is great as one of the few sports fat people can be really good at
we'd be tied if bobby doesnt get doubled off

good time to make up for that buddy

yea so and we'd likely be all celebrating if Howie starts instead of Wood
take 2 Bobby

he’s still throwing a 3-2 fastball

Steal like they do at MH252525's school!
Mikey needs to stay outta the DP
I'm not saying it would not have happened but .............
Valverde is wild
Torii

it’s called taking one for the team…. pain is only temporary

gamecast had that one taking out his team
This guy can't throw a strike
ok now torii

dont swing until u have to

awesome...

MLB.tv just went out

You don't wanna know
You missed a pretty disheartening play there.
jesus christ

5 straight balls and u swing and do that?

moronic

you've got to be shitting me

Torii with the epic failure…. guy hasn’t even been close to the zone and you help him out

this isnt the first time this has happened

mike needs to teach the guys to not swing when the pitcher cant throw strikes

it's called a red light

which Mike apparently can’t give? if he wants them to do something then as the manager he could have them do it.

then y isnt he giving it

when he should

because

he is a Grade A MORON

ur right sorry

sosh is the perfect manager who never makes mistakes…..but anyways i still feel the hitters should have common sense not to swing when the pitcher has thrown 5 straight balls and again when you are ahead in the count and the pitcher has thrown 7 balls and one strike (excluding the pitch hunter hit)

Insta rally killer
this is why Rodney should have pitched yesterday.......
big fail by TorII
Alright, games not over.
matsui will walk

then walk off

oh well over and out
Is Torii mentoring Wood or vice versa?
Torii is always good for quite a few of those...

Who needs vlad?

Has this guy thrown a single strike?

Answer is no

that was pretty lame
Torii is playing for Torii

you gotta make him throw a strike there. 5 straight……

Bah. Disheartening guys.
again a 2-1 count

what the hell are these guys thinking

Fuentes has given us the Lose By 1 curse...
Did you know that Rodney once sued NBC for trademark infringement?

They copied the names of his right arm and right hand—Law and Order.

Valverde...

Lay off the meth…

Good job guys.

Well, can’t win all the baseball games—that’s why they play 162. Now let’s go get ’em next time!

admire your optimism
Optimism's all we got sometimes!
Who's gonna finger Booby?
I'm not into hairy bungholes, and I bet most on here are not either. Even if I like him as a player.
that image is a little gross...
the beauty of ground ball pitchers

they can walk ppl, and then still get 3 outs on throwing 3 strikes an inning

disheartening...

so many LOB’s

3 outs on 2 pitches in the strike zone
blame of game

Joe Saunders

blame of the game

clutch hitting…..so much fail

blame of the game Soth

for only starting to try and win the game in the 8th %$@ inning.

He can do no right in your book, huh?
I think it was a good spot start by Willits

I like that…. I just don’t understand how he is willing to extend a pitcher when we are already down…. but he wouldn’t do it when we had a lead in the 9th……… pathetic

That sucked.

We gave yesterdays game away, and failed with RISP tonight, Torii, that DP wasn’t cool at all.

craptastic
now the Yankees coming to town..................

Take the W’s when you can get them…. I would have pitched a hot Rodney 4 games in a row having to face Verlander and the Yankees the next 4 games. Now the Angels are likely going to be in the same hole they worked hard to get out of. GFG Soth, you are CRAP.

That's why he's the only Angels manager

To win the WS, go the playoffs 6 times in 10 years including 3 straight appearances, have a winning record in 6 consecutive seasons, and get a 10-year contract extension…

fuck the yankees
just what i needed

Lakers lose
Chargers over draft
Angels lose

awesome

Hey, at least you don't have bleeding blisters on your nether regions...

…but the night is young so give us an update tomorrow just in case.

Blame of the Game: FUENTES

Yep, I ain’t over it. So he wins again. Two nights in a row.

Grats!

Awful game.

Blown chance all around.

whole team fails
the bullpen did great

if everyone hit like Bobby or Matsui we would have won.
