Alright

Lets Roll

at least his defense is still there
howdy....here's some bug mojo
how can i meet the acai berry chick?

>>>>>

she is friends with

the Plams Place sunbather

Don't try waiting for her after she gets off work...

pepper spray really burns.

Can we put Palmer in the starting rotation and put Saundo in the bullpen?
You sure you want that?
man did you see that HR from the Astros game?

now that was a man’s homerun

no
they showed it during the ESPN telecast

I think it went out of the stadium

2 CS already? Jeesh...
26th best SB% in the bigs.
should have just beaned him.
HR's taken AWAY at fenway?

HA

Howie cannot dive for shit
this would happen

i drop JD drew and then he plays amazingly

he's hit a couple of grounders to 2B

that Howie was a mile away from for some reason

obviously are advance scouts are Red Sox fans

why the heck is Howie continually playing in Morales’ back pocket while he hits grounders exactly to 2B

ARGH this is pathetic
k-mo, izzy only good players today
good grief, can NO ONE catch the damn ball??
This team sucks right now
Angels baseball is depressing
now the Angels playing like crap on defense

no way you let Lowell get to 3rd when he shouldn’t have even gotten to 2B

score 1, give many

Angels baseball thus far

is Joe still pitching?
I think I'll listen to the radio with the sound turned off
read the closed captioning?

ha ha ha ha ha ha

and lay quietly in my bed..listening to Terry Smith mop this one up
I had spaghetti and MEATBALLS for dinner in Palmer's honor tonite
uh... cursed thread?
Jeez, I could have hit that pitch out
I'm sorry but I have to....

Palmer threw over 3 innings like 3 days ago, and now is taking one for the team because a complete and utter waste of space like Q is taking up a roster space, even though he hasn’t started one game, and hasn’t been put in one critical situation all season…… how does Reagins not see this?

then who the hell do we throw out there

I really want to know?

anyone with an arm

our long reliever is now in a situation where you wouldn’t be able to throw him for a couple days and our short relievers are on pace to get like 80 games……

but all that has to happen is he has to be more useful than Q

please tell me what legit baseball value Q has….. at least a pitcher could ease the workload a bit

sorry misread it

i completely agree

np

I do the same ;)

7-4 ok we are in this

11-4 good grief

I give up

Call me when the Angels graduate from AAA

I'm not giving up....

I’m just tired of losing.

I'm giving up on watching them lose.

My blood pressure can’t take it.

When did we graduate from AA?
We could make the O's look like a 1st place team.
*bang bang bang bang head

D’oh

your replies are all over the place dude...

uh are you alright ?

Well, There's Jeopardy
i hate the red sox

but i limit my hatred to only their players, management, ownership, sponsors and fans, including casual fans, and non-fans who accept the tickets of fans.

Drama in the land of the Halos!
We are playing

the Red Sux. Everything we do wrong is magnified.

Dear Mike

This team really really really sucks.

Even Jose Mota

Dropped the fouled ball that he initially caught right now……

2006?

well is it?
because I thought obama was president
not bush

What position player would we like to see pitching out there?
Unleash Conseco!
Get the Roger the Peanut Dude from Dodger Stadium
COME ON!

don’t act like spoiled, prissy, pussy Red Sux and Yankers fans. Being negative is NOT productive, and it in no way helps our Halos.

I don’t mean to keep preaching, but, we need to believe in our team. We need to believe in the players, in the Soth, in Arte. They have been one of the best teams Major League Baseball in the last decade. Is that a mistake? Is that fluke? no, I do not think so.

So, please, all of the Angels faithful, do not despair. do not give up.

Our team shall prevail.

Positive or negative

Won’t change the way they’re playing right now.

I didn't realize halosheaven.com was dugout reading material
I believe!
this will end up 12-7

a meeting will take place
better 2morrow
wedsday we smash lackey

let us be passionate

I eat, sleep, breathe and think Angels baseball. Loosing to a team I hate this much sucks

Just let Quinlan
pitch.

Santana says

“F**k it, let Q pitch!”…

somehow it feels like 2006...
is this the second time u say that
Nah.

I think its the 5th or 6th time.

While many argued with me...

…it seems you may be right and I must admit I was wrong.

I went against the 90+ win ground and went with 83-85 wins. But I was wrong.

Should have shot for the 75-77 range :P

Palmer wisely pitched around Darnell McDonald

You don’t want him to beat you.

Stokes is making his 13 app.

in our 27 game and he’s like our 4th/5th best reliever……

I just can’t believe it isn’t an obv decision to get another reliever up here.

Tony R. did well with the Gary Matthews trade
yea but overall the Angels did horrible

they are paying over 10 million a year for their 5th best reliever

Suando 1-5 now? Or soon.

What a load of crap.

What the Halos need to do is
clone 4 more Weavers, 5 more Jepsens, and 5 more Rodneys. Then the pitching staff will be dominant once again.

I will get my cloning machine
You know what?

Go red sox. Score 50 runs today.

oh shit sully from southie caught it!
Soth maybe this is what happens when you pitch your relievers every game

and then on the off chance they pitch well you take them out after 8 pitches………….

The clown that caught that gopher ball looks like a real frigging "Chowd"
REV

I really think that we need an increase in our f-bomb allowance this month. Please? I’ll clean my room every day and do the dishes every night!!

I'm trying so hard

to hold on to mine till Lackey’s start

let's hope that they make him look like the a$$clown that he is
I'll take out the trash

Even when it’s not trash night…

hand wash and dry right?

no using a dishwasher? ;)

whatever it takes
you might as well hit a HR youk

i could use the fantasy points

WHAT you have a bosux on your fantasy team?

that’s just wrong.

14-4......no words
Later

This is the most pathetic game ever.

Wow

Just wow… how is it that we cannot record the 3rd out this inning?

I'm only wishing I would have put more money on this game......
may be time to rethink things sosh
Rev

Can you just delete today’s game thread? And nobody bring this game up…..again…..please..

Batting practice for the red sox

I second the suggestion
GT 1 has disappeared....

Was looking for that one

left column---> game threads
Agreed.

Don’t put up a post-game, either.

I'm just going to pretend

today’s game was RAINED out…

Q could use some work
turn the page... again... maybe skip a chapter or 2

This is pitching fail at its finest.
Saunders gives up 7 runs, the bullpen gives up +7 runs. Can anyone just clone more Rodneys and Jepsens so they can pitch everyday?

We cAn Do This!

We are ONLY down by 10

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH trAdition !

well...I DO see some age old Angels traditions playing out this year....
heh

at least the Halos don’t have those lame Jason Bieber billboards

That's tell'n Gubi
Abreu:

Learn to play defense.

saunders is a heaping pile of suck.

he needs to go on the DL and sort out his inability to pitch, like last year… except, try and miss postseason as well, since he can’t seem to manage to pitch in clutch games.

seems to me we were in position to WIN

his start in Yankee stadium before Fuentes decided to take a crap…..

joe gets the L

because thats his destiny.

thing that makes me the most upset

our team leader being a selfish prick, trying to inflate his SB total, and attempting to steal 5 runs down with NOBODY OUT.

who????
Ol Torii Hunter

That’s who

Torii is NO leader
leader of outs, it sounds like
Not when his actions

are conflicting with team baseball

zactly

who is our team leader

Weaver

is probably the closest. He at least has the attitude of one.

Well, let's look at how good our starters are doing?

Yes it’s early, but if the rest of our starters continue down the road they are currently driving, then Weav’s doesn’t look as good as our former #1.

I'm most concerned about Kaz

his fastball is never going to be the dominant one it once was, and for some reason his slider is no where near the pitch it used to be and I’ll be honest his change…. eh….

and when the Angels finally decided to trade one of our untouchable

AAA’ers, what did we get in return.

trAdition

Nobody was beefing when he was hitting 3 run homers
for the money the Angels are paying him

he needs to hit 3 run homers and at least pretend to act like he wants the Angels to win.

Torii

must be Consistant if he’s gonna be a LEADER

Yeah, he stunk it up getting thrown out down by 5...he was trying to light a fire
Where is Q ??????????
Well

the Mariners still suck

I think at this point even we surpass Seattle Suck
I was trying to raise our spirits a little
14-4 is beyond spirit raising...unless the spirits are in a glass
Terry and Jose

are making me feel a bit better tho….very optimistic

Meh

We can regain ground during the division games coming up in a couple weeks

it is still really early in the season

the team will sort itself out, it always does. no one can dispute how resilient they are, especially after last season.

so, for the 4th time during this game thread I am going to say:

do NOT give up. do NOT give in. Have faith in our team, they will prevail.

now I am going to get off of my soapbox for tonight

Anyone need good news?

- Grichuk goes deep 3rd game in a row, he’s getting hot. In your stupid bias face Keith Law.
- Trout goes deep 2nd game in a row, he’s pretty good.
- Lucho goes 3-4 with a triple and SB.
- Skaggs goes 5 innings, 0 runs, 1 K. Season ERA 0.47.

AA: Michael Kohn pitches 1 inning, 1 K. Season ERA 0.84

yea that's good news
Yes, that means

Sosh will let them sit in favor of floundering veterans, and the organization will refuse to trade them

Fine

Call them all up and send down half our starting lineup…. NOW :)

Yeah I wouldn't mind seeing what Ryan, Alrdridge, Evans, Bourjos, Trumbo and Conger can do

Couldn’t possibly be worse than our team right now.

Does Kohn

have anything to prove at the AA level???

No, but did Wood have anything to prove in AAA for 3 years?

How about Weaver in the minors for as long as he was? How about Morales while we watched Kotchman grow in his quest of ultimate suck? The Angels hold their prospects down for as long as they possibly can. Not always, but usually. This means we can reasonably expect Kohn to stay down for another 4 years.

nah not a pitcher....

their pitchers get plenty of opportunities.

I got my ticket today for May 15th!!

wooohooo

Are we all situated in C347?

I received mine on Friday. Thanks to Christy for mailing them out!

yup row G seat 11 I think for me
Oooh

I get to totally recline back and take up space. I gots seat 11 as well

I just double checked G-11
I know

Besides, I have E-11

pththththt

I’m sure we’ll all play musical seats

C-13/14 for me.
Willits is in.

We got this one.

Wow Juan

You’re supposed to catch that

trAdition continues......
the ball passing the players seems to be a theme tonight
and again

and again

  and again

     and again

Bring in the batboy to pitch

Heck, couldn’t do much worse

STINKING IT UP BOYS
just put Q in

and have him drill every other batter with his 80mph fastball…. and he’ll put his hands up after every HBP and no one can get mad because it’s Q pitching……

Let's never have Matsui play defense again
Hell, I'd volunteer to grab a bat and give it a hack
I'm calling a HR from Dickhead
From the knees?
Damn I Was Close !!!!
Just another GR double

Damn…

heh

You are a goddess on your knees?

oh my God

I almost crapped my pants, the part with Beltre falling to his knee hitting a foul ball LOOKS EXACTLY like what the batter does half the time in MLB The Show 10 when you pull it

When does

the mercy rule kick in?

thing I love about Soth let teams is when

someone #@%# in the ass, they turn the other cheek

Does anyone believe Stokes is a better pitcher than Rich Thompson?
I'm not sure ANYONE is better than Rich right now
Rich looked mediocre when we had good pitchers

with this crap, he’d probably look damn good

I'd rather have Mike Holtz in there right now

I’m sure he still can throw a wicked mean 55 mph curve.

The fans are dancing around

like they just hooked up with Mindy McCreedy

We are still trying right?
Of course!

I mean… I THINK so

Man I'd hate to be at the game

At this point its take out as many chowds as you can while the ship is sinking

I had a ticket to this game, but didn't go

Be there tomorrow, though.

spread some matt mojo, OK?
I plan to get on Torii Hunter a little
you do that!

give him some bug-crap too for me

Will do. Don't understand his deal this year
he went from SuperMan to SuperBad
Yes, here at Halosheaven, we are still trying

Baseball team? Not so sure.

This is pathetic.

The last two guys we have sent out there need to be released immediately. They should NEVER get into a game in which the result is still in doubt.

Most pathetic game in Angels history?
Not very old, are you?
yea but a long time ago it was expected to have like 5 games like this a year

with a Top 5 payroll it shouldn’t happen…….

I wouldn't want to agree

for fear they’d try to prove us wrong

Dude ! Don't you understand the word trAdition
Sweet Caroline time!
I'm calling it right now.

Massive 16-run comeback in the top of the 8th.

Willits hits 2 hrs in the inning
Of course!

Then Wood comes up and hits 2 HR in the SAME AT BAT.

We should have just left Saunders in
I'm calling out all the people who

criticized the Saundo / Wood / etc for Halladay trade

around the horn...tht was a big league play
Can the Sux drop a 20 on us???
Noooooooooooooooooo
shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Just close your eyes and swing

at this point in the game, it applies to all Halos

Why is Matsui still in this game?

Dude’s old, looks tired, and we never give him a breather, while Q rots.

not like it would HURT anything
game is still too far from over to put Q in

the formula is….

run differential/ number of innings left

must be > or 7….. So Q almost was able to play this inning

come on guys

throw yourself in front of the ball. Take one for the team.

take 10
17 actually to tie it up
There's Waldo

THE MIGHTY SPLINTER. TWIGGY !!!!!!!

Eerg.

Not a pretty score to come home back to :(

welcome home?
I suppose

o

Yeah....

It was bad from inning 1 to 9

one handed swing
I can't bear to look anymoe

will cheer for tomorrow.

Vince Ferragamo has been warming up and looks about ready

Wendell Tyler’s 3 fumbles have been costly.

Best news about this game?

It’s gonna turn our pythag W-L record to like 6-20.

Angels I believe are 0-6 in games decided by 5 or more runs

Which is the main reason the pythag record is so skewed

Back in the day....you were supposed to turn these into "laughers"
therrrrrre's Q
Q BUDDE WOOD

The Future has Arrived!

Bulger....please don't fudge it up
Are we there yet?
I'm sticking to the end...I got "Nurse Jackie" therapy
I love that show
8:00PM PDT
I watch it

ummm elsewhere

it's wigglebutt
For the hell of it

in the 9th we should try out Alfredo Griffin on the mound.

works for me
nevermind

Boston won’t bat in the 9th, lets put him in now

Does Youk look like he has to go make potty?
13 Run Rally

here we come

no pressure AT ALL
Every? what?
OMFG this is ugly....
The greatest indignity of this game is allowing slider-speed bat Beltre to hit a HR
No, It was Saundo's inability to hold'em at 5 to 3
the boo birds deserve to have this one
So.... BOTG

Pretty much the 25 man roster right?

Schoenweis?

Wow… been too long since I’ve last seen him

Hey....Come On......

So what if this a preview of our entire season. We have the ALL STAR GAME!

Managed by Skeletor himself

Big freakin deal

and....

trAdition

Like gubi saz..a litttle carry over to tommorrow Howie
They still get a big spread

for dinner in the Clubhouse………..
Chowda included……
For FREE

Don't forget all the tap water you can handle!
c'mon QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ
seeing q get an ab

down 13 runs still makes me angry

Let the Sox score all their runs now

And then none in the postseason.

yeahhhhh Aybar
that was nice

too late, but nice

the 9th inning is NOT the time to perk up, dudes

And...

yet we couldn’t plate a run off of that, fabulous

lefty tomorrow
Chowds still chanting for their team

Figures

Roll call: Cortland, NY!

Oh, WTF?!? Nevermind…

don't even ask... :/
I went to I.C.
It is, as the t-shirts say, Gorges.
upstate

represent!

c'mon Reggie
pleaseohpleaseohpleaseohplease

get at least ONE run

Maybe?

It could happen?

I hear Dick Dale in the background there
Squeeze, Mikey?
Reggie needs to be on 3rd for that to work
willits uncorks a granny
nice Reggie
yeahhh Reggie
woo. here we go
Very nice

just 13 more to go

The second team delivers
That has always been the big knock on Reggie...

…is that he hits tons of homers when they don’t matter.

Kendry Smash time!
Reggie showing why he at least deserves a roster spot....
Rally Time!!
woo one more
nice work Schoeneweis!!

thank you

sac fly - yeahhh
What's the over?
If the Angels had any balls they would have just pressed the issue there

had a guy get thrown at at the plate, but had Victor getting up spitting blood out his mouth

clap~clap~clap
woooooooooo
yeahhhhh 2 more runs
Who's gonna catch the the 10th Mikey?
the ball was fair people!
Typical wankers

booing even with an 11 run lead. Right on the chalk! Way to go Budde!

I can't add...

only 9 to go

I hope terrorists blow up Fenway Park

when no one is in it of course…..

Youk has to be there, of course
and the ghost of Tom Yawkey
If only we had scored 8 runs yesterday...
Maybe Schoenweis thinks he's on the Angels' staff
no one remind him he isn't
This is a good thing
Well at least we'll lose by less than 10...
Still a game full of suck

whether its 9-0, 10-0 or 17-8

True Enough.
this is the only excitement I've felt all night

patheti-sad

What'chu talkin about?

It’s rally time!

hey...

we got them to boo when they’re up by 9…
A small glint in a vat o crap

c'mon Brandon
Well

They are at least making our offense look respectable

which is sad

that it’s taking a sucky pitcher to accomplish that

come on Wood....don't suck
C'mon big bucks no whammies...
A homerun here would almost make me smile....
I wanted to see you smile
Yeah only almost 'cause it wouldn't be legitimate, right?
That ball was a foot inside
I guess the ump was in a hurry to get to the food table

And figured “Aw, they’ll never catch up anyway”

ump wanted to go home

like everybody else

Really? Called third strike? REALLY??
the final suck
wow

ump just wanted to go home on that call

chowdah was getting cold
the douche calls him out on a ball

he had seen enough.

Woody don't get no respect
it's ok guys

Torii is still well rested after his day off against the worst pitcher on this roadtrip!

Holy crap that wasn't even close

Like shoulder high and that’s a STRIKE?!?

Not even close to a strike
he got robbed with that one
Lazy ump was hungry.
Saunders and that ump for the blame.
Saundo and Matt (freakin) Palmer

for co-blame

I understand u want to go home but dont cheat someone out of at bat two strikes bs calls sorry brandon the ump is on the take
Oh joy

the fail music for the post-game recap
