Build me up Buttercup Rocks
Why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around
And then worst of all (worst of all) you never call, baby
When you say you will (say you will) but I love you still
I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin’
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) Buttercup, don’t break my heart
“I’ll be over at ten”, you told me time and again
But you’re late, I wait around and then
I went to the door, I can’t take any more
It’s not you, you let me down again
(Hey, hey, hey!) Baby, baby, try to find
(Hey, hey, hey!) A little time and I’ll make you mine
(Hey, hey, hey!) I’ll be home
I’ll be beside the phone waiting for you

few things
are as high level LOSER as this.
Rev Halofan - April 30, 2010
Exactly.
Why do the Halos play a song about a LOSER during games?
red floyd - April 30, 2010
Because it's fun
to sing along with such a bouncy little ditty.
Much more fun than the turgid “Take Me Out To The Ballgame”.
LittleCupcakes - April 30, 2010
Well then
How ‘bout “Here Comes The Sun” or somethin’ else even marginally applicable?
LAASurfin - April 30, 2010
Jack Norworth says F U
Harry von Tilzer concurs.
rspencer - April 30, 2010
Heresy!
opiejeanne - April 30, 2010
I really think it's because
Arte wants the Angels to have something similar to the Red Sox ‘Sweet Croline’.
Buttercup even has a ’woo woo, woo woo" refrain that everyone sings, like the “woah woah woah” in Caroline.
raskul - April 30, 2010
'Caroline'
raskul - April 30, 2010
I thought the same thing and it disgusted me so I never thought of it again
Commander_Nate - April 30, 2010
^This^
agent_99 - April 30, 2010
I agree
I won’t sing the stupid song. I just wave my arms hoping the strike force will shoot an XXL irregular t-shirt our way so everyone can fight for it.
raskul - April 30, 2010
and don’t forget you’ll get pushed out of the way by some kid 5 sections away.
angelsfan7 - April 30, 2010
That's my guess
but at least “Caroline” is a decent song. “Buttercup” is crap bubblegum from a one-hit wonder. If we’re going the bubblegum route, why not “I’m A Believer” by the Monkees? Much more appropriate, in several ways.
Or better yet, go a different direction: “The Angels Want to Wear My Red Shoes” by Elvis Costello.

"And then I saw her face, now I'm a believer" with a wigged monkey dancing on screen
I could get on board with that. Send this one down the pipe and see what comes out on the other end.
Commander_Nate - April 30, 2010
The Foundations?
one hit wonders how dare you?
DAD OF VLAD - April 30, 2010
True, I don't know that for a fact
What were their other hits?
rspencer - April 30, 2010
It's probably directed towards
the bullpen. I mean not all the time, but just when a winning SP leaves and then they fail to come through.
maze88 - April 30, 2010
Ive been thinking for a whole now that this song perfectly exemplifies our ability to win a lot of games in the regualr season then epically fail in the playoffs.
A better song would be This Badass Song
PhiSlamma - April 30, 2010
AGREED
princeton11loveshalos - April 30, 2010
That's not a 7th inning stretch song.
But this is:

"what's wrong with mark teixeira"

gary matthews jr. jr. - April 30, 2010
where can i sell my diamond in anaheim
Is Arte shopping the team?
44FAN - April 30, 2010
Every time I hear that song I can't help but think of Something About Mary

I'm mortified
stupefied,
petrified,
slightly refried.
Slyintine - April 30, 2010
This list is why we're all friends!
Commander_Nate - April 30, 2010
I picked 13
red floyd - April 30, 2010
I picked 17
agent_99 - April 30, 2010
I tried to calculate
And weight it for the pitchers.
Came up with 23 hits, hopefully they’re all Angels hits.
Slyintine - April 30, 2010
Did the same
Came up with 22 and change. Went with ‘22’.
But the logic has the same odds as an ice cube in hell.
LAASurfin - April 30, 2010

Answer to "What is wrong with Teixeira"
He’s a douchebag.
red floyd - April 30, 2010
Here's a shot.
1. I hope
2. No F’ing clue
3. Because the union would come in like the guys at the end of this video.
4. In my mind Disar will always be at short.
5. This guy goofed
6. Phys has been seen here.
7. Rex has been enjoying his severence package
8. Can YOU figure out what’s wrong with Tex?
9. What’s wrong with Jeter? He’s a lover scorned.

Jimmy Jack according to Wikipedia is “an Australian screenwriter, film director, actor and producer best known for his work on the 2008 film The Black Balloon.” . . . “Jack is currently working on Zombie: Sex, Brains and Rock n’ Roll with producer James Grandison, due for release in December 2011. The film tells the story of a dissatisfied zombie who decides to pursue a career in music.”.
So a 3-run Jimmy Jack would be a playing of his top films.— The Black Balloon, The Cherry Orchard, and The Bathers
deb d - April 30, 2010
But when is he comin' back?
red floyd - April 30, 2010
Wasn't that Jimmy Mack?
rspencer - April 30, 2010
Damn.... Excuse me while I kiss this guy...
red floyd - May 1, 2010
Jimmy Jack is the nerdiest thing I have ever heard a broadcaster say.
44FAN - April 30, 2010
Even Hud never stooped to this level of nerdiness
hbhalofan - April 30, 2010
Grandison
Is he available?
cath619 - April 30, 2010 via mobile
You want to get someone to eat the bra*ins
of the organization?
Cause it sure ain’t for the rockn’roll cause “Buttercup” ain’t even in the country for that conversation.
deb d - April 30, 2010

kbrown2225 - April 30, 2010

~MMP~ - April 30, 2010
Thanks!
Boy I do wish Izzy was getting more playing time.
kbrown2225 - April 30, 2010
The lineups are always available at MLB.com home page.
Click on gameday next to the game listed in the left sidebar.
44FAN - April 30, 2010
Lineups usually show up about 1.5 to 2 hours before game time...
I don’t think they are posted earlier than that.
Downing Rules - April 30, 2010
Well yeah, I meant to say once they are up at the appropriate time they can always be found at mlb.com.
44FAN - May 1, 2010
Thanks
I usually get the lineups from ESPN.com but they didn’t have it up for some reason
kbrown2225 - April 30, 2010
