red floyd - April 7, 2010
Rally thread...c'mon Capt Caveman
K3YEROUT - April 7, 2010
wtf is with Pavano's squint before the pitch
it’s mildly disturbing
TheKingfish - April 7, 2010
It's only cool when Percy did it
BruinHalo - April 7, 2010
somewhat useful
vlad IS my man - April 7, 2010
that was a strike????
MH252525 - April 7, 2010
I guess it moved Matsui
But now that he’s on third, he is all but stranded.
BruinHalo - April 7, 2010
LETS GO HALOS
eyespy - April 7, 2010
Pitch selection is horrible
K3YEROUT - April 7, 2010
juan putting up B-Wood numbers
clover_black - April 7, 2010
Now
we will rally.
ryanfea - April 7, 2010

vlad IS my man - April 7, 2010
wow that was cloossee
TheKingfish - April 7, 2010
Finally!
red floyd - April 7, 2010
Juanny Dollars

eyespy - April 7, 2010
Can I have a dollar?
ryanfea - April 7, 2010
Wax on,

Match Day 5 - April 7, 2010

[VOICE type=“Beavis”]
He said “Wax off”
[/VOICE]
red floyd - April 7, 2010
Well played.
Match Day 5 - April 7, 2010
Rivera now having a better year than abreu and wood
congrats
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - April 7, 2010
I bet anyone 10 dollars Howie hits it to the right of 2B
MH252525 - April 7, 2010
You're on
BruinHalo - April 7, 2010
all bets are fictional in nature
MH252525 - April 7, 2010
thought I'd get that in before he actually grounded to ss hehe
MH252525 - April 7, 2010
Haha
It’s a bet using Internet dollars… I still have some left over from my investment in Chocolate Rain
BruinHalo - April 7, 2010
for amusement purposes' only
eyespy - April 7, 2010
I'll bet you 20 Panther Points!
angels4adam - April 7, 2010
How many Shrute bucks is that worth?
BruinHalo - April 7, 2010
1/1000th
Commander_Nate - April 7, 2010
He would actually have to put the bat on the ball to do that...
K3YEROUT - April 7, 2010
Matsui!!!!
6th inning…Angels doing their usual 6th-7th inning awakening
angels_rally_mom - April 7, 2010
I actually said "aww"
which quickly became “alright!”
BruinHalo - April 7, 2010
Rivers flashin the .182
RexTookMyStash - April 7, 2010
Say it ain't so, I will not go...
Commander_Nate - April 7, 2010
Be back later. Gotta go into the other room
red floyd - April 7, 2010
Pitch selection guys...
c’mon…
K3YEROUT - April 7, 2010
As I mistakenly asked in the other thread - does anyone know why Kendry's jerseys are always torn up?
Commander_Nate - April 7, 2010
he turns into the Incredible Hulk between every inning?
eyespy - April 7, 2010
Well look at them, they look like he washes the sleeves with a steel brush
Commander_Nate - April 7, 2010
he chews on them while playing with his Xbox 360,
like my son
eyespy - April 7, 2010
that is a cheap hit
Angelsrthebest101 - April 7, 2010
Why are the Angels making Carl Pavano look like Cy Young?
Angelsrthebest101 - April 7, 2010
They are all in awe that he played for the Yankees
can you imagine, the Yankees
eyespy - April 7, 2010
K3yersoooout = Howard :((
shit Howie…swung at balls…sheesh!
K3YEROUT - April 7, 2010
one of those games
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - April 7, 2010
no worries guys
Wood is due up next inning.
MH252525 - April 7, 2010
You just made me cry
ryanfea - April 7, 2010
Yeah... good point
The pitcher will be 3 pitches more tired after him
BruinHalo - April 7, 2010
lol
so true
MH252525 - April 7, 2010
Rojas named his daughter Mattingly
Wow
ReggieBullits - April 7, 2010
What a loser
angels4adam - April 7, 2010
Bulger sighting...
K3YEROUT - April 7, 2010
MATTINGLY?
naming your daughter “Mattingly” in 2003: COOL or LAME?
Rev Halofan - April 7, 2010
LAME
angels4adam - April 7, 2010
stupid
angels_rally_mom - April 7, 2010
Cool
BruinHalo - April 7, 2010
a little self serving if you ask me
course no one does
RexTookMyStash - April 7, 2010
lame because by the time she's in HS
no one is going to know who the heck Mattingly is
MH252525 - April 7, 2010
He'll be the manager of the Doyers
ReggieBullits - April 7, 2010
and by that time their payroll will be 50 million a year....
and they’ll be the Clippers to our Lakers….
MH252525 - April 7, 2010
lame
salmonforever - April 7, 2010
LAME
yeswecan - April 7, 2010
Interesting
to say the least
ryanfea - April 7, 2010
Aww Phys kids were never on tv...
I would have recognized them…
we went to high school together and played little league
BruinHalo - April 7, 2010
The Bulge is in
fear him
ryanfea - April 7, 2010
So far so good.
opiejeanne - April 7, 2010
Let's go Bulge
Slyintine - April 7, 2010
If you make noise, he will bulge
RexTookMyStash - April 7, 2010
I'mvbaaa.aaaack
red floyd - April 7, 2010
Dude I know Pinto just hit a triple
but seemed like Bobby was playing awfully deep
MH252525 - April 7, 2010
Victor Rojas is a chubby chaser?
bc56274 - April 7, 2010
haha
clover_black - April 7, 2010
Even though we've shown pictures of players wives/moms/gfs
Somehow I feel like that’s kinda mean/personal
BruinHalo - April 7, 2010
I missed it
what happened?
ryanfea - April 7, 2010
camera cut to Rojas' daughter and possibly wife (didn't say)
They were enjoying their ice cream.
clover_black - April 7, 2010
oh
I thought she looked too young to be the wife. I thought that was his other daughter.
ryanfea - April 7, 2010
Maybe I didn't get a good look
ryanfea - April 7, 2010
I like the giving type
RexTookMyStash - April 7, 2010
Let's go Fat Chick
red floyd - April 7, 2010
i think anyone here discussing high standards
needs to post a photo of themselves with their missus and the combined weight.
Rev Halofan - April 7, 2010
haha
Count me out
angels4adam - April 7, 2010
High standars?
I have NO standards. I was using Bulger’s nickname, that’s all.
red floyd - April 7, 2010
The thread seems much more manageable and peaceful for some reason.
Oh yeah, DOV isn’t here. I’m going to enjoy the “peace and quiet,”
Go Angels!
b0rd3rline - April 7, 2010
no
Commander_Nate - April 7, 2010
You jinxed it
red floyd - April 7, 2010
LOL
He did!
angels4adam - April 7, 2010
Ah shit.
That didn’t last long. My bad guys.
b0rd3rline - April 7, 2010
I thought it was just me who felt this way.
clover_black - April 7, 2010
Not just you.
opiejeanne - April 7, 2010
way to talk about the no no
RexTookMyStash - April 7, 2010
Damn still behind
Clean Baby
dirty game
but we got one on it
DAD OF VLAD - April 7, 2010
Does Aybar know you have the ball in your glove for the runner to be out
Angelsrthebest101 - April 7, 2010
XMo shows that to be meaningless
BruinHalo - April 7, 2010
Please forgive typos and half-complete posts.
Netbook keyboard and touchpad (mosty touchpad) sucks
red floyd - April 7, 2010
Is it part petpad?
Commander_Nate - April 7, 2010
update the driver to the touchpad
eyespy - April 7, 2010
Linux system, and it's running the latest synaptics driver.
red floyd - April 7, 2010
ubuntu?
I could never handle that OS. not a very good typer
eyespy - April 7, 2010
Mandriva
Been a Mandrake/Mandriva guy for years
red floyd - April 7, 2010
I am starting to develop a moderate distate for Nick Punto
Commander_Nate - April 7, 2010
I'd rather the Twins do well than just about anyone else in the AL Central
BruinHalo - April 7, 2010
Billy Heywood still needs a World Series
BruinHalo - April 7, 2010
I said moderate...
Commander_Nate - April 7, 2010
I'd rather the Twins do well than
anyone else in MLB except us.
red floyd - April 7, 2010
dunno
I want to see the Rays succeed
TheKingfish - April 7, 2010
no way.
Go Cards!
angels4adam - April 7, 2010
scew the Twins, and scew all the other teams not named ...
THE LOS ANGELES ANGELS
eyespy - April 7, 2010
I said "Except for us"
red floyd - April 7, 2010
just saying that I don't care for any other but
eyespy - April 7, 2010
He's a real punto, hold the n.
RexTookMyStash - April 7, 2010
Walk Hudson to get to Mauer I see
Angelsrthebest101 - April 7, 2010
ok got him out happy
Angelsrthebest101 - April 7, 2010
that has been a strike against us
all night
MH252525 - April 7, 2010
I would rather not Bulger have to face Mauer
Slyintine - April 7, 2010
who would you rather face Mauer???
MH252525 - April 7, 2010
rawr
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - April 7, 2010
Kelvim Escobar
BruinHalo - April 7, 2010
I'd prefer
Mauer to come down with the flu before gametime
ryanfea - April 7, 2010
scioscia was quickly looking for speier
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - April 7, 2010
and O Dog delivers
BruinHalo - April 7, 2010
Oh man...
that “due up” was just pathetic
BruinHalo - April 7, 2010
I'm impressed with out bullpen thus far
What a relief!
RexTookMyStash - April 7, 2010
after 2.5 games?
DAD OF VLAD - April 7, 2010
twas a joke
BruinHalo - April 7, 2010
Hey, people are already giving up on Wood after 2.5 games too
~MMP~ - April 7, 2010
You'll be here all night eh?
BruinHalo - April 7, 2010
Perhaps we should have them each throw an inning or two per night 1-9
Commander_Nate - April 7, 2010
nice play on words there
eyespy - April 7, 2010
Napoli shows bunt!
I’ve seen it all now.
Slyintine - April 7, 2010
yeah
what the F was that
angels4adam - April 7, 2010
Dammit my feed must be slow
BruinHalo - April 7, 2010
that reminded me of
Darin Erstad’s diving, tumbling catch against the Yankees in 2001(?)
The announcer went “I HAVE SEEN IT ALL NOW!!!!!”
Figgi4life - April 7, 2010
We should take 2 out of 3 from any team when at home.
It’s not like Pavano’s pitching that well, the Angels are just slumping right now. Woody can’t hit, Kendrick’s not warmed up yet, Abreu’s ice cold, Napoli probably won’t get regular PT….
Halowood - April 7, 2010
pavano is actually doing a pretty good job of mixing it up (or rather mauer)
keeping the angels off balance
clover_black - April 7, 2010
How about out of 4 games?
2 of 4 isn’t exactly bad.
b0rd3rline - April 7, 2010
It is too
It’s what PECOTA predicted… I refuse to settle for that
BruinHalo - April 7, 2010
okay, scratch my earlier comment about Pavano's disturbing squint
it’s straight up freaky now
TheKingfish - April 7, 2010
The lip curl is weird too
Slyintine - April 7, 2010
Greetings sportsfans!
Are we winning yet?
Raaddad - April 7, 2010
Nope. 4-1
~MMP~ - April 7, 2010
If wood gets a hit I'll donate $30 bucks to PBS
RexTookMyStash - April 7, 2010
Hahah
your comments make me feel like I’m watching an MST3K version of Angels baseball
BruinHalo - April 7, 2010
haha
I love that show
RexTookMyStash - April 7, 2010
We getting owned on that changeup
Slyintine - April 7, 2010
that was a slider
MH252525 - April 7, 2010
k3yerout
K3YEROUT - April 7, 2010
Napoli
some of the Wood anger should be aimed at Mike
Rev Halofan - April 7, 2010
nipplefudge
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - April 7, 2010
Does the X-Mo camera trip anyone else out when they show it normal speed?
Commander_Nate - April 7, 2010
see his short swing will give him warning track power
MH252525 - April 7, 2010
and he's not going to hit all that many homers going to RCF
MH252525 - April 7, 2010
At least he understands that he'll see good pitches on the first throw
BruinHalo - April 7, 2010
yea but I'd rather he'd go up there like Torii does
Torii will use RCF a lot but he doesn’t use it all that much with 0 strikes.
MH252525 - April 7, 2010
Torii is also a respected hitter who doesn't have a tendency to strike out 75% of the time
BruinHalo - April 7, 2010
what the hell was that
…again?
TheKingfish - April 7, 2010
Pavano
Looks like Cy frickin’ Young tonight.
Suboptimal - April 7, 2010
Yea, what's up wth that?
Raaddad - April 7, 2010
He's toking like Timmy
eyespy - April 7, 2010
Timmah!
red floyd - April 7, 2010
The Angels
can do that to anyone. ANYONE.
Figgi4life - April 7, 2010
?
what does that even mean
angels4adam - April 7, 2010
they can make
anyone look like Cy Young.
Figgi4life - April 7, 2010
Yeah
but we had the 2nd best offense in the AL last year
angels4adam - April 7, 2010
Woody finally gets the clue and swings at the first pitch fastball
K3YEROUT - April 7, 2010
yeah except he still cant hit it
Angelsrthebest101 - April 7, 2010
Not bad...
Just under it.
Halowood - April 7, 2010
This is goddamned embarrassing
Commander_Nate - April 7, 2010
No first pitch swinging!
Except on Pavano, I suppose.
At least he’s not striking out on these last couple of plate appearances?
Was that almost out?
Clutch - April 7, 2010
To the warning track
but in RCF, so it would’ve hit the high wall anyway.
b0rd3rline - April 7, 2010
at least we set a world record last night
salmonforever - April 7, 2010
What an epic moment indeed
a sea of red blankees
Raaddad - April 7, 2010
everyone will tell there children about it
DAD OF VLAD - April 7, 2010
did you see me i was the one in the red blankee, o wait
salmonforever - April 7, 2010
did you see the pic with the twins fan not wearing one
DAD OF VLAD - April 7, 2010
also some angel fans who thought they were to cool for blankee time
salmonforever - April 7, 2010
it is spring training all over again
I dont know if i will be able to last this whole season
DAD OF VLAD - April 7, 2010
Wow, how close to being out was that for Aybar?
Clutch - April 7, 2010
10 ft of warning track
clover_black - April 7, 2010
Not very
BruinHalo - April 7, 2010
just to the warning track
good contact, but was definitely short.
b0rd3rline - April 7, 2010
hatcher has ruined wood
short swing fail
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - April 7, 2010
how do you know
that Hatcher has done that? Has he said he shortened Wood’s swing?
Figgi4life - April 7, 2010
I've seen it mentioned in all the stuff I've read
but I can’t point you to an article or something
MH252525 - April 7, 2010
well
I trust no one on the topic except Hatcher and wood himself :P
Figgi4life - April 7, 2010
Once again, this is Game #3, chill out
~MMP~ - April 7, 2010
RUINED
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - April 7, 2010
you can't see that it looks like Wood is swinging at like 80%?
like look at that swing by Morneau, he put everything he had into it and it was still didn’t go that far.
MH252525 - April 7, 2010
And Aybar almost muscles it outta the park
eyespy - April 7, 2010
Aybar
Again trying to be a home run slugger
ryanfea - April 7, 2010
Again, why is Aybar swinging for the fence?
ReggieBullits - April 7, 2010
thinks he's chone
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - April 7, 2010
Ha!
Simul-post!
Clutch - April 7, 2010
He thinks he's Vlad, remember?
Vlad hit one out tonight, therefore Aybar should too!
Clutch - April 7, 2010
I think he's just going for solid contact and getting under it.
BruinHalo - April 7, 2010
I heard he Kashi for breakfast this morning;.
RexTookMyStash - April 7, 2010
what up raaddad?
DAD OF VLAD - April 7, 2010
nada--fighting with the wife and kids
business as usual around here
you?
Raaddad - April 7, 2010
kid cry but stops when i put on Baseball tonight
DAD OF VLAD - April 7, 2010
that's a very very good sign my friend
Raaddad - April 7, 2010
he loves it
DAD OF VLAD - April 7, 2010
reply fail
Figgi4life - April 7, 2010
o man
I’m reformed
Raaddad - April 7, 2010
whats your count now?
DAD OF VLAD - April 7, 2010
up to 341
but I’ve had a dry spell of 222 in a row
Just wait til it’s your turn baby
Raaddad - April 7, 2010
Only 3 games in
and I’m already driven to drinking
ryanfea - April 7, 2010
But I hope you're not drinking and driving!
BruinHalo - April 7, 2010
No chance
ryanfea - April 7, 2010
Looks like I picked the wrong week to give up amphetamines
red floyd - April 7, 2010
Roger Roger
BruinHalo - April 7, 2010
What's your vector Rojas?
RexTookMyStash - April 7, 2010
WIN.
See, it’s funny ’cause his first name is Victor.
Clutch - April 7, 2010
Indeed
I just didn’t get it because I don’t speak jive
BruinHalo - April 7, 2010
No, it's "Is funny"
Haven’t you ever watched “Family Guy”?
red floyd - April 7, 2010
I know I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.
Just wait til this game gets really intense—you’ll have to pry me down from the ceiling!
Clutch - April 7, 2010
What's your poison?
I’m drinking 3 dollar Zin.
RexTookMyStash - April 7, 2010
I'm college student
So cheap cheap beer
ryanfea - April 7, 2010
Sad
I’m glad I missed that phase and moved straight to microbrews and scotch… and as an extra perk, my empty wallet won’t cause any back problems
BruinHalo - April 7, 2010
Speaking of microbrews
I’m have an oatmeal stout and an IPA in primary fermentation right now in my closet. win.
RexTookMyStash - April 7, 2010
that sounds good!
ladybug - April 7, 2010
With such discriminating tastes
how are you drinking $3 Zin?
BruinHalo - April 7, 2010
Lots of bills and school debt
I splurge when it counts though. Going up to the anderson valley Micro beerfest in May!
RexTookMyStash - April 7, 2010
Are you? I'll need to look it up
That and Gilroy are on my list of “wanna do’s”
ladybug - April 7, 2010
Please do. This is my 3rd year in a row.

RexTookMyStash - April 7, 2010
I wish I wasn't 10 hours away
BruinHalo - April 7, 2010
where do you stay?
ladybug - April 7, 2010
Huge campground right next door.
we usually just bring a bunch of tents. there’s hotels nearby as well for those who don’t like camping. I think we’re taking an RV this year though.
RexTookMyStash - April 7, 2010
I'll let you know if we can go. Should be fun!
ladybug - April 7, 2010
cool!
RexTookMyStash - April 7, 2010
Barefoot makes great wines for $5 bottle
Tisman is good too and they are even cheaper
ladybug - April 7, 2010
nothing wrong with cheap beer my brother
Raaddad - April 7, 2010
WTH? this is the Twins
ladybug - April 7, 2010
generally when u score one run you probably won't win
Angelsrthebest101 - April 7, 2010
They're pretty good
Mauer – Morneau – Kubel/Thome – Cuddyer is an awesome heart of the order.
Slyintine - April 7, 2010
I feel conflicted about the Twins
I want to win, but it feels like beating your friend. When they win, it feels like losing to your little brother.
Same goes for the Rays.

does this game make me look PHAT?
ladybug - April 7, 2010
On the bright side the bullpen has not given up a run yet
Angelsrthebest101 - April 7, 2010
during the season thus far
Angelsrthebest101 - April 7, 2010
thas right
keep to the positive
Raaddad - April 7, 2010
Okay, now we should score some runs

Stirrups - April 7, 2010
2002 certainly did.
b0rd3rline - April 7, 2010
for a multitude of reasons, yeah
we’re supposed to be healthy though.
TheKingfish - April 7, 2010
2002: 6-14 to start
yeswecan - April 7, 2010
I remember there was one season in which we started out 6-14...
Can’t remember which one, though!
Clutch - April 7, 2010
yeah
and we bitched about it then too!!
Consistency is the key
ladybug - April 7, 2010
I laughed
Figgi4life - April 7, 2010
:-) heeheee
ladybug - April 7, 2010
how ya been,
bug?
Figgi4life - April 7, 2010
good
getting ready to take #1 son to grandpa’s so he can catch his flight back to Ohio. :-(( He’s been here since the 17th
ladybug - April 7, 2010
now now, Bug
don’t play favorites with your sons. Calling him “number 1” must make the others feel un-loved
Figgi4life - April 7, 2010
LOL....it's only number 1
ladybug - April 7, 2010
last year was a disaster in many ways to start
Raaddad - April 7, 2010
yeah.
and every other post was “OMG THE SEASON IS OVER” countered by “THERES LOTS OF BASEBALL TO PLAY” repeat 1000 times.
clover_black - April 7, 2010
New pitcher
yay?
Figgi4life - April 7, 2010
can we get some offense
finally?
TheKingfish - April 7, 2010
Shields in the pen
~MMP~ - April 7, 2010
YES!
ryanfea - April 7, 2010

Chupa CHUPA CHUPA
red floyd - April 7, 2010
soemthing i noticed
since 2002, they never showed the rally monkey on television broadcasts, maybe once in a blue moon on a national telecast, but NEVER on a local telecast. This season, bammo, come back form a commercial, show the monkey on the jumbotron.
Rev Halofan - April 7, 2010
what?
I remember them showing it for a while now…
Figgi4life - April 7, 2010
Monkey Time
Let’s go!
yeswecan - April 7, 2010

I thought this guy threw a lot harder than 89???
MH252525 - April 7, 2010

Angelsrthebest101 - April 7, 2010
Wood now

Oh wait, Napoli still making him feel good
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - April 7, 2010

red floyd - April 7, 2010

Stirrups - April 7, 2010
Didn't even think of that.
I’m ashamed to admit
red floyd - April 7, 2010
TORI !!! TORI !!! TORI !!! TORI !!! TORI !!! TORI !!! TORI !!! TORI !!! TORI !!! TORI !!! TORI !!! TORI !!! TORI !!! TORI !!!
eyespy - April 7, 2010
Wide strike zone tonight
Fan Since 1981 - April 7, 2010
Hula Dula, Gojeera, Kowbell
we better score some runs.
TheKingfish - April 7, 2010
Damn it torii
Angelsrthebest101 - April 7, 2010
FC
Definitely not Torii-licious
red floyd - April 7, 2010
Thank god
Tori (Emphasis on one “i”) beat that one out
Figgi4life - April 7, 2010
4-4? Please?
ReggieBullits - April 7, 2010
OMG STEAL A BASE!
Commander_Nate - April 7, 2010
UGH
Shoulda took that pitch!
chairmanofthebar - April 7, 2010
collective suckage on pitch selection tonight…
K3YEROUT - April 7, 2010
Save us obi-wan Godzirrahh
you are our only hope
K3YEROUT - April 7, 2010

eyespy - April 7, 2010
STAN NOOOOO
TheKingfish - April 7, 2010
Kowbell HR time.
~MMP~ - April 7, 2010
/approve
TheKingfish - April 7, 2010
Our offense is pretty shitty, no?
bc56274 - April 7, 2010
Not yet 3 games.
Fan Since 1981 - April 7, 2010
i am glad this ump-bashing foxtracker
is available to us to feel justified that we are gettin scrued.
Rev Halofan - April 7, 2010
screwed too!
K3YEROUT - April 7, 2010
Kendry shot off the foul pole.
Count it!!!
Figgi4life - April 7, 2010
If I am pitching I would stay off the plate...ump calling it all night
K3YEROUT - April 7, 2010
chalk is the new black
Rev Halofan - April 7, 2010
Save us K-Mo
Slyintine - April 7, 2010
ughhh Epic fail by the offense tonight
desecrator09 - April 7, 2010
fml
TheKingfish - April 7, 2010
Wow
Figgi4life - April 7, 2010
fail again
vlad IS my man - April 7, 2010
nice job torii ending the inning on a steal attempt
Angelsrthebest101 - April 7, 2010
****!!!
just not our night (again)
desecrator09 - April 7, 2010
That was a really bad jump
Slyintine - April 7, 2010
and a horrible time to steal
MH252525 - April 7, 2010
hit
angels4adam - April 7, 2010
hit
angels4adam - April 7, 2010
omg i'm an idiot
that was supposed to be hit&run
angels4adam - April 7, 2010
out by a mile
Angelsrthebest101 - April 7, 2010
WTF how can we get CS
3 runs down….. with a guy at the plate with one of the highest SLG % in the league last year.
MH252525 - April 7, 2010
South Park better be good tonight...real good.
Commander_Nate - April 7, 2010
what tonight about?
DAD OF VLAD - April 7, 2010
why the hell
is torii attempting to steal with k-mo at bat?
sctrojan13 - April 7, 2010
because he doesn't have a stop sign
because Soth despite “pouring over the stats” still doesn’t know when a good time to steal is.
MH252525 - April 7, 2010
what was that?
ryanfea - April 7, 2010
The hell?
Down by three runs with a power-hitter in the box and you’re stealing second?
Suboptimal - April 7, 2010
Tori does dumb stuff like that too often for my liking
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - April 7, 2010
it's Soth that allows him to do dumb stuff like that
MH252525 - April 7, 2010
had late classes tonight
how’d Ervin look out there?
desecrator09 - April 7, 2010
nice velocity
slider got pounded as is usually the problem since the elbow tear
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - April 7, 2010
awww
so he’ll probably never be the same guy from 08. But I still think that with that velocity he can still be solid.
desecrator09 - April 7, 2010
Excellent velocity.
Consistently around 95 with the fastball.
Fan Since 1981 - April 7, 2010
That's brilliant. Get thrown out on the base paths when you're down three runs.
bc56274 - April 7, 2010
hit and run? triple fail?
Stirrups - April 7, 2010
They're playing like last season before Sosh's big "pep talk"...
chairmanofthebar - April 7, 2010
Dayum
Troy Markus FIRED that thing in.
Figgi4life - April 7, 2010
obama needs to take notes
clover_black - April 7, 2010
The only good news so far today is that the Red Sux lost
and Lackey didn’t get the win
Raaddad - April 7, 2010
Rangers lost too
desecrator09 - April 7, 2010
SHIELDSY!
Figgi4life - April 7, 2010
one of the nicest guys
saw him on a rehab stint in Las Vegas and saw my jersey and hat and got me like 5 balls and talked for a while
Angelsrthebest101 - April 7, 2010
yea, he autographed Son of Raaddad's ball and was way cool in 08
Raaddad - April 7, 2010
onr T is in the game
Welcome Back Scoty
eyespy - April 7, 2010
K
Slyintine - April 7, 2010
YES
My Boy Scot Shields is in!
ryanfea - April 7, 2010
Yea! Last hero from 2002
Raaddad - April 7, 2010
Read that as "Boy Scout"
red floyd - April 7, 2010
Just like old times
Figgi4life - April 7, 2010
shields looking NAILS
clover_black - April 7, 2010
Is Terry Smith that white-haired dude?
bc56274 - April 7, 2010
Yep
red floyd - April 7, 2010
How old is he? Any idea?
bc56274 - April 7, 2010
I missed the no-seamer
ReggieBullits - April 7, 2010
The movement on that fastball is awesome
Slyintine - April 7, 2010
i've admired it
for years. When he doesn’t have the movement, he gets lit up
Figgi4life - April 7, 2010
Shields is back
hell yeah
TheKingfish - April 7, 2010
Nice work so far, Shieldsy
red floyd - April 7, 2010
Shields throwin' purty.
opiejeanne - April 7, 2010
So was Voodoo until that homer rattled him
red floyd - April 7, 2010
Yeah. But he was fine by the 6th.
opiejeanne - April 7, 2010
and his curveball was one of the lowest
BA against pitches two years ago
MH252525 - April 7, 2010
please give me something positive for tomorrow's game
will Pineiro pitch like last year? Will the offense from opening night show up against Slowey??
desecrator09 - April 7, 2010
hasn't Slowey given the Angels problems in the past?
MH252525 - April 7, 2010
I'll start him in fantasy tomorrow
That should put to old hex on him
hobbit_86 - April 7, 2010
offense looks like 2006-2007 Angels offense
Angelsrthebest101 - April 7, 2010
that pitch is so not a strike
MH252525 - April 7, 2010
PUUUUUUUUNTOOOOOOO
BruinHalo - April 7, 2010
PUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNTOOOOOOOOOOOO
clover_black - April 7, 2010
looked more 11 to 7
gubi get your watch out and FACE the facts
Rev Halofan - April 7, 2010
Shields looks really good right now
ryanfea - April 7, 2010

k3yerout
K3YEROUT - April 7, 2010

Figgi4life - April 7, 2010
Okay, now our offense needs to wake the hell up
~MMP~ - April 7, 2010
Beautiful
Shields is back (it’s Game 3)
ReggieBullits - April 7, 2010
can we trade one of our excess lights out
relievers for a 3B?
MH252525 - April 7, 2010
No.
~MMP~ - April 7, 2010
granderson?
DAD OF VLAD - April 7, 2010
I want Mighty Macier
ryanfea - April 7, 2010
anyone but Q
MH252525 - April 7, 2010
wants to ignore, but you need to give it a rest on Wood…
K3YEROUT - April 7, 2010
i stumbled upon your
2002 “last out” video…Memories…
Figgi4life - April 7, 2010
no such thing as excess lights out.
opiejeanne - April 7, 2010
very true
MH252525 - April 7, 2010
At least the bullpen has been solid
Angelsrthebest101 - April 7, 2010
Good One T!
Oh, how I’ve missed that beautiful 2-seamer.
b0rd3rline - April 7, 2010
Same late break?
How it starts inside to the LHB, but then cuts back over the plate?
Fan Since 1981 - April 7, 2010
Yessir, that's the one.
I LOVE it.
b0rd3rline - April 7, 2010
If Scot has that pitch back, he will be excellent this year.
Fan Since 1981 - April 7, 2010
Sure looks that way.
I’m really liking our bullpen. Having One T back makes life good!
b0rd3rline - April 7, 2010
Oh yeah
Lots of movement
ReggieBullits - April 7, 2010
Dear Major League Baseball
We got Shields back. You’re screwed.
Stirrups - April 7, 2010
rec'd big time
angels4adam - April 7, 2010
Commander_Nate orders: Blast, Blast, Bloop, Blast.
Let’s get this over with, boys!
Commander_Nate - April 7, 2010
Good job by Shields.
Rodney to pitch the 10th.
Fan Since 1981 - April 7, 2010
How old is Terry Smith?
bc56274 - April 7, 2010
no idea
been trying to find out since you first posted it
Figgi4life - April 7, 2010
Me too, Google isn't much help.
bc56274 - April 7, 2010
try wikipedia
ryanfea - April 7, 2010
It didn't mention birth date.
opiejeanne - April 7, 2010
do you have google on your internet?
clover_black - April 7, 2010
LOL
K3YEROUT - April 7, 2010
I don't even have the Internet.
bc56274 - April 7, 2010
i bought the luxury model internet
clover_black - April 7, 2010
doesn't have it
I was gonna do a “Let me google that for you” but decided to check out the results first, the was you should have before posting sarcastic comments on the interwebz…
Figgi4life - April 7, 2010
was = way
Figgi4life - April 7, 2010
yeah, i thought of that...
but im too lazy right now.
clover_black - April 7, 2010

Lesgo!
chairmanofthebar - April 7, 2010
Let's Go Halos!
Come back win here.
44FAN - April 7, 2010
A knock, a walk, a bloop and a blast
Let’s get it done.
Slyintine - April 7, 2010
9th inning summary
Kendry doubles to right center, Rivera pops out to SS, Kendrick singles up the middle Morales scores, Napoli pops out to CF and Wood pops up to shallow left center to end the game
Halowood - April 7, 2010
WTF?
chairmanofthebar - April 7, 2010
rofl
that wiped the frown off me
desecrator09 - April 7, 2010
Prediction fail
BruinHalo - April 7, 2010
0/5
Doing your best Boner Wood impersonation.
angels4adam - April 7, 2010
I correctly predicted a double, a single up the middle and a run.
I just mixed up the names is all. Not bad.
Halowood - April 7, 2010
Why the long faces?
Our relief has been solid so far for the most part. And we’re not scoring enough runs against a very potent Minnesota lineup. Too early to boo hoo the squad.
RexTookMyStash - April 7, 2010
i think we're just alittle dissapointed
that our offense hasnt gotten going alot more against two average pitchers the last two nights. But I get you that its not time to trash the squad
desecrator09 - April 7, 2010
plus we're just an overall better team than Minnesota
desecrator09 - April 7, 2010
Closers
got bad tattooos
DAD OF VLAD - April 7, 2010
His whole body is tattooed
44FAN - April 7, 2010
look at back of neck
DAD OF VLAD - April 7, 2010
is english your second language?
clover_black - April 7, 2010
no
hard to type
DAD OF VLAD - April 7, 2010
mine is after a half 5th of jack
RexTookMyStash - April 7, 2010
It's not him.
It’s his son trying to type. That’s his story at least. I’m with you though.
b0rd3rline - April 7, 2010
he trys to type when i am
DAD OF VLAD - April 7, 2010
Again.
That doesn’t explain piss poor grammar.
b0rd3rline - April 7, 2010
yes it does
DAD OF VLAD - April 7, 2010
It explains spelling, not grammar
TheKingfish - April 7, 2010
this is how
i got a jumping kid in my right hand trying to smash the keyboard and typing with my left. Trying to type fast and not like i am writing an essay. Sorry if you can get my quick typing. Maybe i should write a blog and then you can read complete sentences with structure.
DAD OF VLAD - April 7, 2010
You're welcome to type however you want.
But just know that nobody takes you seriously.
b0rd3rline - April 7, 2010
if they did
i am sorry to disappoint
i see this as sitting with my buds watching a game
not a serious discussion about the stats of baseball and the suckage of Bill James
This should be fun not boring
DAD OF VLAD - April 7, 2010
I would love to know how.
But I really don’t give a shit.
b0rd3rline - April 7, 2010
read above
DAD OF VLAD - April 7, 2010
The little laurel leaves are kind of nice.
opiejeanne - April 7, 2010

No Nathan
C’mon guys!

Don't let Rauch beat us twice!!!

Angelsrthebest101 - April 7, 2010
Holy crap
TheKingfish - April 7, 2010
not nice.
Figgi4life - April 7, 2010
fricon Rivera is so slow
Angelsrthebest101 - April 7, 2010
Rivera is so f'n slow
Halowood - April 7, 2010
Bionic leg fail
MH252525 - April 7, 2010
Yeah. Didn't even make the funky bionic sounds Steve Austin's used to make.
Fan Since 1981 - April 7, 2010
If only Juan had wheels
Slyintine - April 7, 2010
Dammit Rivers
A one hop throw from shallow LF, and you still get thrown out?
b0rd3rline - April 7, 2010
by 2 steps nonetheless
MH252525 - April 7, 2010
Wow, this team looks like shit
chairmanofthebar - April 7, 2010
its been pretty ugly the last two nights
matsui and Shields were the only bright spots tonight
desecrator09 - April 7, 2010
Seattle 5, oakland 5, in the 8th
RexTookMyStash - April 7, 2010
Damn
ryanfea - April 7, 2010
Web gem for Hardy
If only Rivera wasn’t slower than Abe Vigoda
BruinHalo - April 7, 2010
Yes, but is he slower than Bengie Molina?
Clutch - April 7, 2010
Or Prince Fielder?
Commander_Nate - April 7, 2010
Prince Fielder may be fat but he has some wheels way faster than rivera
Angelsrthebest101 - April 7, 2010
hell no
desecrator09 - April 7, 2010
Howieeeeee
Slyintine - April 7, 2010
damn
so close
now, if Naps can get a hit
and Wood can homer
we’re in business.
TheKingfish - April 7, 2010
HOWIE DOUBLES
red floyd - April 7, 2010
Was gonna post the same thing.
Instead, I can just rec yours.
b0rd3rline - April 7, 2010
Alright, let's go Naps!

Quinlan's Goofy Swing - April 7, 2010
A walk would be fine
Fan Since 1981 - April 7, 2010
If nap can get on it bring up b wood to pretend to get redemption then epic fail
Angelsrthebest101 - April 7, 2010
napoli wants to hit a game winning grand slam right now
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - April 7, 2010

TheKingfish - April 7, 2010

Figgi4life - April 7, 2010
Fingers are officially crossed
ryanfea - April 7, 2010
Yes plz?
Clutch - April 7, 2010
another pressure situation for Wood
UCIHalo - April 7, 2010
NAPOLI!
opiejeanne - April 7, 2010
And this is why Napoli should start over Mathis
TheKingfish - April 7, 2010
Victor
I wouldn’t exactly call that looped into center, I’d say stroked hehe
MH252525 - April 7, 2010
Wood left alone in suckville.
clover_black - April 7, 2010
Woody?
Please? You got this kid, just relax and put the bat on the ball.
b0rd3rline - April 7, 2010
Wood
If there was ever a time you could show us your power, now would be it
Slyintine - April 7, 2010
NOW IS THE TIME TO BECOME
THE LEGEND
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - April 7, 2010
Brandon Wood is up. Everyone drive home safely.
bc56274 - April 7, 2010
Good. Pressure situation for Wood. He needs to face these kinds of situations.

Figgi4life - April 7, 2010
Time to be the hero, and not the goat.
opiejeanne - April 7, 2010
Did I ever see that.
vlad IS my man - April 7, 2010
And Wood grounds into a force out.
Slyintine - April 7, 2010

clover_black - April 7, 2010
Nice try Brandon

Hahaha
Sorry, but that’s funny. Wood looks so freakin bad right now.
ReggieBullits - April 7, 2010
Wow, every first pitch to Wood is a called strike...
even the breaking stuff…
K3YEROUT - April 7, 2010
lets not like pinch hit someone for a guy that is 1-11 with 5 k's
nah that would actually make sense
MH252525 - April 7, 2010
believe in the Soc
RexTookMyStash - April 7, 2010
he got contact
this is progress
. . .
my optimism is failing me
TheKingfish - April 7, 2010
too early to call him a bust??
desecrator09 - April 7, 2010
Yes, we're 3 games into the season.
~MMP~ - April 7, 2010
OK now its over.
Guys, the first week of the season is NOT a good time to pick for a collective “slump”
red floyd - April 7, 2010
Rauch makes Mauer look short.

robi s - April 7, 2010
Who would win a race, Juan Rivera or Benjie Molina?
bc56274 - April 7, 2010
Bengie
Angelsrthebest101 - April 7, 2010
Today? or Benjie when he played for us vs. Juan now?
opiejeanne - April 7, 2010
Bengie. Duh.
opiejeanne - April 7, 2010
Lets not over analyze.
bc56274 - April 7, 2010
I was remembering that I pronounced the "g" like a "guh". I can't remember which announcer did that, but it always made me laugh.
opiejeanne - April 7, 2010
bengie would dust his ass so bad...
desecrator09 - April 7, 2010

Quinlan's Goofy Swing - April 7, 2010
we get the split tomorrow
RexTookMyStash - April 7, 2010
Spitting is rude.
opiejeanne - April 7, 2010
1 thing is for sure
Your #9 hitter will never be the reason you lose a game unless he makes error in the field
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - April 7, 2010
See how Mota just said
Hardy didn’t cut down his swing even with 2 strikes….. Wood is cutting down his swing with 0 strikes…… If Wood hit like Hardy from the 9 spot which he would do I think we’d all take that.
MH252525 - April 7, 2010
I miss REX!!
robi s - April 7, 2010
maybe the angels just arent used to
seeing the pitchers throw so many balls in the zone
desecrator09 - April 7, 2010
Guby thinks the Yankees are going to miss the playoffs.
He’s not only boring, but also stupid.
bc56274 - April 7, 2010
in nearly spit out my cookie crisp when i heard that....
desecrator09 - April 7, 2010
I could see it happening....
Their OF is not all that good. Posada is OLD.
But more importantly the Red Sox and Rays are outstanding teams along with the Yankees.
MH252525 - April 7, 2010
Good night guys. See you tomorrow if we don't go to the game.
opiejeanne - April 7, 2010
Goodnight Opie!
