thanks for the reminder

Rev Halofan - April 26, 2010 reply

plus for anybody still whining & bitching about Wood replacing Figgy...

0 for 4, 3 K tonight & .179 AVG

I haven't heard much about that.

Maybe Wood replacing Izzy, but I doubt we’ll hear anyone singing that song tonight.

AlanFalcon - April 26, 2010 reply

While it's true that Wood went 3 for 4 in last night's game,

his batting ave. is .158, and he has already made 4 errors, giving him a fielding percentage of .907. Izzy’s batting average, however, is .219 and he has made no error in fielding. If the Angels are hell-bent on making Wood their starting third baseman, then I hope like hell he pans out. But Izzy is already a clutch hitter with a great glove. I’m not sayin’, I’m just sayin’. But then that’s already been said.

I went with Chupa

But another great outing by the Dream Weaver—mister consistency in a season of some inconsistency

I only wish Weaver could have lasted longer.

So I went Abreu.

But serious respect for the Dream Weave.

AlanFalcon - April 26, 2010 reply

They showed sats on Weave on the broadcast

He’s got like a 1.00 era first 80 pitches;
And I think it was something like 3.41 after that

*That would be "stats" not "sats" or SATs

David Huff is my Panther!

lightupthehalo29 - April 26, 2010 reply

didn't Sizemore hit the ball Abreu caught?

i actually don’t recall

SCHalo - April 26, 2010 reply

you sr are right

fixed that.

Rev Halofan - April 26, 2010 reply

if it was Shieldsy with Hafner up

and bases loaded…. :) thank God

SCHalo - April 26, 2010 reply

Panther = Wood

gotta show him some love to balance out all the hate posted here — I think he may just have finally turned that proverbial corner.

+1

His approach is so much better

He looks way confident—and hitting the ball to the left side
I was wrong earlier this season thinking the opposite field approach was working;
he definitely needs to keep looking for the first good pitch and pulling the ball like he did today

Still has a lot of work to do as you saw in that last at bat where we seemed to be reaching for balls down low and way out.

Never is going to be perfect but still needs work (was better though)

TheAngelsColts - April 26, 2010 reply

I'm looking for Wood to keep improving at the plate and hoping his glove will follow

He hasn’t played anywhere near his potential. After his 2 rbi including the go ahead against ny he gave a great postgame interview (his first of the season as well if I’m not mistaken) and you could see his confidence isn’t shaken. And I was starting to doubt him…keep it up Woodsy!

Jepsen.

Absolutely saved the game for us, coming in with runners everywhere and only one out, and not allowing a single one to score. That, is PANTHER.

Yepsen.

Voted for Jepsen, too.

true dat.

NW angels Fan - April 26, 2010 reply

Same here

Jepsen got my vote.

CLUTCH summarized it all.

agent_99 - April 27, 2010 reply

Also voted Jepsen

hk47 - April 27, 2010 reply

I have a boner for Wood

Give him the Panther, he was rawwww-tastic tonight and he is stocking his way back to .200 and an All-Star invite.

“GIVE IT UP FOR YOUR STARTING THIRD-BASEMAN, Brandon WOOD.” – Joe Buck

Don't you mean I have Wood for a boner?

NO but that sounds like a stupid joke that Joe Buck would say

This is embarrassing

What is “Panther”?

SportsChicken - April 26, 2010 reply

A Panther is somebody so getting laid tonight

What does that have to do with the Angels

I can’t make the connection.

Pardon my ignorance.

From WiHaloFan's comics last year

A meme was having Napoli saying “I’m sooo getting laid tonight!” after doing something awesome.

Speaking of which,

This has probably been addressed already, but what happened to the comics this year?

i thin WiHaloFan

1) ran out of good ideas
2) is busy
3) Got laid so much from them he is afraid of what happens if he makes more

*think

Haha, probably true.

I think it's more of a case of where he's no longer snowed in

I hate to sound like such a selfish prick, but I was hoping for some bad weather up there to keep him behind the computer.

I suppose #2 is the right answer

but I like to believe it’s #3

SocalAngelFaninOC - April 27, 2010 reply

Here's the breakdown as to why...

1) 98%
2) 2%
3) 0%

The world would be a much better place if you could get laid by doing comics. Sadly, that’s not the case.

At least for me.

WiHaloFan - April 27, 2010 reply

Do something with another Hitler video

Those were the absolute best!

Hope that helps!

Do you know Kenny Powers?

In his prime he was a panther every night on the mound.

PS. find and read the story on the home page, i think right side

here you go

Lore of the Panther

b0rd3rline - April 26, 2010 reply

The Panther

represents the metaphysical ontological side of Halo Heaven.
Our Rev Halofan has shown us the light
and the power of the Panther.
Iand t was there tonight, brothers and sisters

^"and it"^

Maybe instead of "Moralesland"

We should do “Panther”, and make the Lore of the Panther mainstream. I’m sure Throwbacks would love it!

b0rd3rline - April 26, 2010 reply

I was thinking Kowbelland or Kowbeland

TheAngelsColts - April 26, 2010 reply

Nice.

also, because we will all be parked out in left field foul territory;
so AngelColts is right—it’s the wrong field and area for the Moralesland sign.
*Maybe Throwbacks can “commission” the giant letter posters in time.

Alright I read the story

Thanks to everyone.

I voted for Jepsen.

SportsChicken - April 26, 2010 reply

It is the equivalent of Player of the game basically.

TheAngelsColts - April 26, 2010 reply

No, it is so much more. It is PANTHER of the game!

AlanFalcon - April 26, 2010 reply

Tough one tonight. Weaver, Wood, Abreu and Jepsen all made solid cases for themselves.

~MMP~ - April 26, 2010 reply

Going with Jepsen though

Tip of the Hat

Abreu with that great catch. He sometimes gets criticized for poor D, but that catch probably saved the game. Video
And his 2-run HR; an impressive shot to deep right-center. Video

Wag of the Finger

to the hitters for going 2-for-15 with RISP
needing 5 relief pitchers

Not bad though; the team hasn’t clicked yet, but still manages to win games.

Fan Since 1981 - April 26, 2010 reply

The Wag of the Finger award

you should give that out on a regular basis here
(and the Tip of the Hat as well)

Who else remembers the Flying FIckle Finger of Fate award?

Say Goodnight, Dick

Goodnight Dick

Huge Rowan and Martin fan
back in the day

The best part of that show was Goldie Hawn

About 10 years ago I worked as a Business Manager at a firm in Century City that handled both Goldie Hawn & Chris Robinson. So I would often see Goldie early in the morning without any makeup on & then later in the day catch Kate Hudson all dolled up after a photo shoot — believe me there was never any comparison — even though Kate was much closer to my age, Goldie was always WAY, WAY hotter.

She was (and still probably is) the essence of hotness

Goldie is definitely still hot.

But did you see the Racquel Welch interview in the LAT a few weeks back? They had some current pix of her, and she is STILL smoking!

No, didn't see it

Now Raquel Welch was my favorite as a kid—1,ooo,oo Years BC blew my mind as a kid, and she was unbelievable in that film with her little torn lioncloth deal, the long wind blown wild hair, the big expression-filled eyes, that perfect body, and the cool fight scene with the other “caveman” chick.

LATimes didn't seem to put the pic on the electonic version of the story. I'll try to find it later.

Verrrryyy Intereshtink!

Who else is glad Bobby’s hitting the long ball early? That was a big blast tonight.

LIGHT THAT BABY UP haha.

Neekohlai - April 26, 2010 reply

I mentioned this in the game thread

But Fuentes looked angry out there tonight. I like that in a closer, you need that fire.

He's been reading Halosheaven.

Didn’t appreciate all the negativity towards him.

My last comment tonight (applause)

Caption for picture above:
Matsui: So you hit the first pitch now, my friend—are you listening to me Chupa?—and you crush it out there—yes—above the right centerfield wall. As they say around here—stop f…king around and hit the f…king thing!!
Bobby: Yes, my exalted Japanese amigo
