Meg Whitman...

how I loathe you

We still got this.
that was terrible.
That was just STUPID
Wow

That was awesome and terrible all at once.

arrrgh Aybar

dude, what were you thinking

rocks for brains

What happened there?
bunted over the head of the 3rd baseman

then ran to second and was tagged out.

Oh man. We are really trying to lose today aren't we
aybar

fills the void of stupidity left by vlad

What the hell was Aybar thinking?

At this point just get on base!

with the heart of the order coming up

and their bullpen having a hard time, yea…..

a little "cockstrong" on that one
Rally Time!

Let’s Go Angels!

Aybar in 100+ years of baseball there have been maybe 2 bunt doubles to the SS.....

How #%#% stupid are the Angels…..

oh yea it all starts at the top of the flowchart.

And all we needed was a single there.
somebody obviously hasn't taught aybar to be a leadoff hitter

thats some coaching. coach should say, get to first base we need a baserunner. Not…we need an extra base hit, get the most you can.

Aybar thinks he's Vlad
Aybar on 5 times today
I'd say great game

But he kinda ruined it just now.

Aybar is like a little kid

It’s hard to get mad at him for stuff like that

That was NOT a strike
Come on Bobby, do something
Just don't try to stretch a bunt,

Into a double.

izturis quietly inching towards BOTG
really?

because Saunders let this one get away early

I dunno how about 7 ER against Saunders

none against anyone else….. Speaks volumes about Soth for BOTG.

and yes I know only players can get BOTG.....
wait, you're not a fan of Scioscia?

I must’ve missed that.

so you would have left Saunders in as long as Soth did?

if so I think you are the only one here.

yeah lets put in shields or bulger

and get our ass kicked

you do realize it took

8 of 12 runners reaching base before Soth yanked him, and one of the outs, Kotchman hit about as hard as you can

so you are under the assumption

the our long long relievers would have done a better job?

Bulger DID do a better job

but with the way Saunders was throwing he needed to be taken out, no control of the strikezone, and the weakest hitting bunch of scrubs were teeing off on him

saunders sucked

but bozo let the last two actually cross, which was a brilliant move by soth

pulling an "Artest" isn't as bas as being called out on strikes with the bases drunk
What Aybar did was one of those things that looks stupid when it doesn't work, but would be really cool if it did work

Trying it was stupid though.

and he also slid past 2nd base
In the bottom of the 8th, when we're one run down it definitely was dumb

TIming really, really is everything

And zero outs

All he had to do was get on base.

yep, very stupid
Roll fucking call
What would you say to LaRussa if Albert was thrown out at third last week?
Put down the beer Tony...

Wait til after the game. ;)

we continue making this last place team look great.

this releiver just threw 40 pitches

that aybar out stings

Aybar!

What are you doing?

When does Bell replace Saunders in the staring rotation?
Hopefully soon
But

who replaces Kazmir?

Saunders
Kaz replaced by Saunders

Saunders replaced by Bell

That still leaves one spot open

Actually, i've revised my plan.

3 man rotation, just tell Weave, Magic and Pineiro to man up until 2011

We could have an all bullpen day

and have relievers throw 2 innings each. It can’t be worse than what Kaz and Saundo are currently contributing.

I beg to differ
agreed

we tried that last year in minnesota. no bueno

I'm ready to give it another shot

Worst case scenerio: We get blown out anyway.

the outcome last year

was DO injured.

Who does that leave to replace Kazmir?

Oswalt of course
when they trade him for Quinlan

Shut em down Rod.
It's....BEER THIRTY!
bye bye folks until the halo is lit.
yes, lets throw balls to a terrible hitter
why is trevor bell getting praised

he gave up back to back hits and gave up 2 runs. I dont care if there weren’t his credited runs, if you are a reliever you are supposed to get outs and not let runs score. over reliance on stats
also…
the Angels have gotten 3 runs simply handed to them because Seattle pitchers couldnt find the strike zone with a 3 run lead and literally walked in runs, plus they got a catcher’s interference (how many times do you see that). The Angels havent really done anything to come back.

his first 2 pitches

led to those 2 runs.

then he got down to business once he made sure saunders era took the hit

What's your point?

or are you bitching just to bitch

no...its over reliance on stats

just as tons of people on this blog love to toss out all these fancy stats to say that so and so is actually playing good, etc…trevor bell should take some BOTG today too, I just got tired of Guby saying how solid the bullpen was when Bell allowed 2 runs to come across the plate

I don't know what you're talking about

If anything, this is one the least Sabermetrically inclined blogs on the net.

Unfortunate, but true.

Credit the M’s lousy pitching, not our awesome offense for getting us back in this one.

Maybe someone
needs to teach Aybar to be a better leadoff man. Its not like once Aybar gets to the leadoff spot he suddenly learns how to leadoff.

Said on a day he reaches base five times, steals a base, scores two runs
they say "The Beard" can only pitch with a lead
DP here please
Right now

The difference is that stupid run the M’s got when they hit the ball off the ump’s leg.

barfs

yea but they probably score than run and then some in the 3rd since Ichiro would have lead off with a single
That's the spirit.

Though it’s hard to think we’d have been alright with Saunders giving up at least 2 hits per inning.

That pissed me off when it happened, and it pisses me off even more now
Prediction: angels tie it up in the 9th... This thing goes 17 innings.

might as well try
to break the record for most innings (which i think was 26)

We aren't talking about Napoli at all

Guess he’s alright at 1B so far.

hasn't been really tested today - but he has caught what is thrown to him
He sucked at bat, though.

Maybe that’s the difference right now.

That "Clank" was Nap's mit
Overall this game was enjoyable

after Saundo was taken out

Rodney is kinda lame in non-save situations

which is why everyone here wants Rodney to save instead of the Fuentes.

With the way this Angels team has played

if I was Arte I would call the College of the Desert and make sure Tony really did graduate from there…. This team is shit.

Sounds like a possible George O'Leary scandal.
Back to back walks are not cool Rodney
his whip was .02 lower than a guy Tony released who they owed millions of dollars too
he's also been their best reliever this year
Naps played 1st in the minors so it isn't like

it’s new to him…he looks a little more relaxed….

Where was that?
they said he played it in AA & AAA

or BB & BBB or CC & CCC, etc …… heard it on pregame

course it was a few years ago...

Rodney is like a different pitcher in save situations and non save situations
if only someone would actually make the change.

Nap's moves at 1st reminds me of Heep Sop Choi
Okay offense let's win this one
lets see what happens w/this walk off
Rev...title should have been "r'obviously..."

;)

I almost got banned today.

Just causing problems everywhere I go.

here or there?

;)

Good job by the pen today
other than bozo's 1st two pitches

which are the difference

wow, rodney sucks

at sucking

Out mowing the grass and it came to me...

Kendry was upset that DoV was making better videos than he was…so he had to make a WIN/FAIL video yesterday… :((

Predication for the 9th
1,2,3 inning for Ms closer.

thanks for the pick me up
guess you missed that call!!

Yes
I always prepare myself for the worst. Makes me feel better when it doesn’t happen

Down to the wire.

LET’S GO ANGELS!

Did Figgins actually tag him?
On the Aybar play?

I don’t actually see where he got tagged.

But, man, what a stupid play.

well Figgy did what HK has yet to learn

when the throw comes to you, just put the glove down as quickly as possible infront of the bag and THEN look to adjust it to the runner… Howie catches it, looks for runner, then applies….

Figgins got tired of holding the ball and waiting for aybar to arrive
hey

She loves me.

Wonder if Lowell will get more playing time

since there might be a market for his services opening up

how many more balls do we need to win?
There's a good testicle joke in there somewhere.

But I’m too lazy to find it.

Confucius Say

Baseball wrong—man with four balls cannot walk!

TWO

Hopefully one of our players grows them.

Lance Armstrong only needed one.
plus "special supplementation"
Leadoff walk
Frandsen in to pinch run
Fransden sighting
I so want to see a walkoff homer here.
not only because it's a W

but to see what the Angels do

they aren't going to celebrate at the plate if that's what you're waiting for.
Frandsen for MAtsui switch

didn’t we do that yesterday

leadoff walk......

 bueno

terminator leg

walk off homer, no celebration

yea it'd be sweet to see them all just high 5 later in the clubhouse
Why fucking Frandsen he hurt Cowbell?
maybe because he's faster than Hideki?
Not Howie?
Where's Willits?
No baserunning mistakes! No DP!
nice miss Desmond and Casey
come on, Rivera

prove me wrong

walk off homer
Shit, so close
Juarning track power...again!
Oh, that was SO close.
sooooo wanted that
oh crap!!!! thought that was a goner....
how does that not leave in the day???

end of the bat?

%#$&^%$*(&

Thought it was gone

dam that was close
Could Frandsen have tagged up and made it to 2nd?
yea but since it was more of a line shot and not in the air all that long

he’s gotta at least go 3/4 of the way

Go yard big Mike
Hunter sighting
I thought that was it
Torii holding a bat
I too thought that was gone.
Holy shit, what was that
here comes Torii
Another wacky play.

Just a single away from tying this game.

I thought Aardsma had that one.

doo doo doo do do do do do...put a tent on that circus!
put a tent on that freackng circus
LOVED

 the juggling act!!!! I am so glad they are as bad as we are!!!! YAHOOOO!!!!

It was almost a Web Gem.
now all we need is a walk and a HBP
NO on the HBP - Torii is on deck
Need a HBP......THEN a walk.
torii would take a HBP

remember the man said once that he wears no jock

That solo bomb was nice

but Howie is GIDP prone

point?

oh, you want to say i told you so if the angels lose?

cool

just expressing my concern
Torii on deck!!
You are kidding??!?!?!

is he really???

ballsy right here to hit and run
here comes the K
EAT A FAT DICK

Howard Kendrick

******************HOMERUN************Howie Kendrick!***********************
The gentlest dogpile ever!

A rather considered celebration...
JIMMY JACK

BITCHEZZZ

That was awesome

notice the post game celebration

HAHAHAHAHA

Yeah baby. Eat it Seattle.

That was for all the DB's in Seattle

laughing at Morales’ injury yesterday.

WOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!

And no broken legs, too

Fucking Howie STEPPING UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PANTHER!

Light it up!

HK with the 3 run bomb!!!!!!!! Walk off win!!!!!!!!

HOW ABOUT THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's for you Kendry!!!!

Light it up…

HOWIE THE RALLY MONSTER

now this game’s
made me more positive again. Last time I though the Halos could pull this kind of win off is 09.

inside it outs it to right center

uncle hacker must be proud

Rob McMillin will be REALLY pissed
Now that's a celebration
matsui obviously didnt have a translator

on hand.

to give him the memo to stay away.
HK47 Baby!!!

Suck it Seattle

Can't wait to watch Mariner's postgame today.

Gotta read
LL’s reaction

SUCK IT Mariners!!! Hope you enjoyed wasting 3+ hours!!!!
That's the way to celebrate!!!!

it always made me nervous when they jumped on each other!!!

LOL

You really are the “rally mom.” Great win.

yup...

moms always worry!!! LOL

me too - glad it won't happen anymore
Howie... Panther, hands down
That was one hell of a wierd win!
What are the chances of ANOTHER walk off HR after what happened yesterday.
This is why we love baseball.
is that one of those weird Aflac trivia questions in baesball

how many times in history has a team won by walk-off grand slam and had the hitter break a leg on the celebration and then that team wins again by walk off home-run the next game against the same opponent roughly 24 hours from each other?

kendrick now tied with abreu and matsui for rbi

not bad, for a shitty second baseman

batting title nxt year!
FRIG YAH!!!!!! HK 47 in da House!!!!
Are you kidding me, the Angels "sack up"

damn my heart can’t take too much of this, but it is good to see the Angels show some heart and not lay down. Damn that was great!!!!

On to KC we go

Hopefully we have a successful road trip

the ab before Howie's first homerun

I told him he needed to step up his game…..

Howie you stepped up your game

I think I said "Howie please save our season"
Phenomenal. Light it the hell up!
i am so happy he steps up today., we ned him to be the good HK now more than evah!
Hell of a Win!!!!!!

Go Halos! And Texas will lose hopefully

What a great game!
FUTURE BATTING CHAMP

but still the current whipping boy of this site, bank it

He'll never be a batting champ

But he could still be a very good player if he can get it together.

u think willits is very good

so fuck your opinion

Never? how the heck do you think you know that?

  He still has his career year coming, could easily win one.

My phone is ringing off the hook.
You know Scioscia was thinking ...

ohhhhhh shiiiiiitttteeeee …. here we go again!

I think Soth asked HK jokingly if he was ok when he hugged him

at least that’s what I imagined.

Right now, he probably wants to adopt him!!

jajajajajajajaja

Hell yes.

If we play like this, (offensively at least), we’ll be fine without K-Mo.

HOWIEEEEEEEE.

its more like

if other teams play that bad.

sad

but true.

but hey

winning is winning. And I am a happy man :)

Now that I think about it...

We did get let back into that game… but at least we worked with what they gave us.

Massively

Against better teams we’ll struggle until we start to click on the offense and get more consistent pitching. Unfortunately.

But hey, at least we are better (currently) than Seattle. That alone makes me warm and fuzzy inside.

Makes me want to cry.

GO HALOS!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, REGGIE!!!!!!!!!!!
SO GLAD

all that time wasnt effing wasted. awesome end to a weird game.

HOWIE DO IT!

Take that freakin M’s

I just figured out twat the M's are good for...

walk-off HR’s…

And uniforms with teal trim.
Wow !, the magic is back !!!!!!!

Now i’m fired up!!! What a great Memorial Day weekend !!

I'll see y'all in KC!!!!!!!!

these last 2 games have been wierdness in a walk-off sandwich.

those 2 games are ball busters for the M's. Sorry Figgy thats what happens when you take the money
