Hello new thread.
Be our friend?
AlanFalcon - May 6, 2010
oh oh
Fred Fredrix - May 6, 2010
Kaz' fastball down a few clicks
Fan Since 1981 - May 6, 2010
it starts
firebird81 - May 6, 2010
Here's where the lead evaporates to nothing.
gyoung08 - May 6, 2010
unfortunately Kaz proving me right
OC Awhole1 - May 6, 2010
it begins
Fred Fredrix - May 6, 2010
It happens.
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
The always deliberate and patient Mikey S...can't let this one get away..geet somebody up ..NOW
angelfan1954 - May 6, 2010
Soth will let Kaz blow the lead
OC Awhole1 - May 6, 2010
5th inning.....geeze feels like a doubleheader
angelskid2210 - May 6, 2010
Go Kazmir, Go!
Slyintine - May 6, 2010
Kaz-tastic...
Pedroia is an amazing talent.
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
and sosh has no one warming up in the bullpen. great
GutterDem0n - May 6, 2010 via mobile
And tied game.
Blech.
AlanFalcon - May 6, 2010
Shit
~MMP~ - May 6, 2010
And tied
Slyintine - May 6, 2010
Figures, Kaz stops walking people and starts giving up hard hits
~MMP~ - May 6, 2010
Kaz will have a meltdown in the dugout after he's pulled
Fred Fredrix - May 6, 2010
Maybe he will ask the team for help with personal problems.
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
or ride out of the tunnel on a bicycle...
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
Well the lead was fun while it lasted...
angelskid2210 - May 6, 2010
yup
angelsfan7 - May 6, 2010
It's 1992 again.
Fan Since 1981 - May 6, 2010
Poop.
We have been V-Marted.
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
Man, fuck baseball so hard
God is being such an asshole right now.
Caseys Kiss of Death - May 6, 2010
atheist!
Fred Fredrix - May 6, 2010
wow
angelsfan7 - May 6, 2010
Great time to turn on your green buddies...
They are doing quite well.
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
If only the game were one inning instead of 9.
gyoung08 - May 6, 2010
This is funny!`
;)
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
What the hell happened to our ability to hold leads
RexTookMyStash - May 6, 2010
I've more been focused on our inability to *get* leads....
mattwelch - May 6, 2010
I think 75% fastballs at 91 MPH isn't good enough here, Kaz (and Naps)
AlanFalcon - May 6, 2010
Everybody in America thinks Kaz has shot his wad..except Mikey
angelfan1954 - May 6, 2010
Bullpen?
Fan Since 1981 - May 6, 2010
Stokes is warming up
~MMP~ - May 6, 2010
THIS is Angels baseball
OC Awhole1 - May 6, 2010
Sosh is ticked off - he won't even look
angelsfan7 - May 6, 2010
Uhm Kaz is a 6 inning pitcher when he's going well
when he’s not….. I dunno why Soth is so determined to get inning out of him during a 6 game losing streak.
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
I was saying to my Masshole co-workers just this morning...
… “we’re gonna have to find some inventive new way to lose, to seal this deal.” I guess the boys don’t lack for imagination.
mattwelch - May 6, 2010
only it's not inventive
for Soth to watch his starters struggle and not take them out until the game is out of hand.
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
You know what? If you can't get to Dice-K after 4 innings in the first, to hell with you
mattwelch - May 6, 2010
four runs in the first inning
You are right. The offense vanished.
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
I don't mind Stokes in this situation right now.
Yes I really just said that.
Slyintine - May 6, 2010
The only team Strokes could shut down right now ...
is the Halos.
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
Balls Kazmir ... the first few innings...
and now “Meatballs” Kazmir.
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
Nice try Aybar.
AlanFalcon - May 6, 2010
Aybar tried to pull a fast one
firebird81 - May 6, 2010
Diffr'nt Strokes warming up...
Whatchu doin’ out there, Kaz?
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
He never did catch it....stupid umps
angelskid2210 - May 6, 2010
Like winking on the telephone...
AlanFalcon - May 6, 2010
yea but he did drop it on purpose
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
didn't even try to close his glove
firebird81 - May 6, 2010
yea not going to fool anyone doing that
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
Eric didn't sell it
angelfan1954 - May 6, 2010
what was that?
angelsfan7 - May 6, 2010
Aybar trying to get a double play out of a flyout. A nice try.
AlanFalcon - May 6, 2010
Dropped it on purpose to get a double play....which worked but the ump is a moron
angelskid2210 - May 6, 2010
Because there's an infield fly rule???
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
no you aren't allowed to intentionally drop it like that
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
No, he's calling infield fly as is his right.
AlanFalcon - May 6, 2010
on-field delay?
Fan Since 1981 - May 6, 2010
Soth talking to umpires.
AlanFalcon - May 6, 2010
I want Sean Rodriguez back!!
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
not gonna happen
angelsfan7 - May 6, 2010
Oh, I thought there was a grace period...
“cooling off” “warranty” …
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
lemon law...
Like toyota of orange… ;)
K3YEROUT - May 6, 2010
As do I.
Gorbachav5 - May 6, 2010
i miss his strikeouts
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - May 6, 2010
I miss his Howie-esque drives to the gap ...
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
and he's carrying TB
Fred Fredrix - May 6, 2010
He has tuberculosis?
Poor fella.
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
OK Mike...Stokes has had enough time
angelfan1954 - May 6, 2010
Here comes the 6-spot.
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
but Kaz hasn't fully given the Blo-Sox the lead yet
OC Awhole1 - May 6, 2010
he just wanted
the basesloaded for stokes
im closing my eyes
GutterDem0n - May 6, 2010 via mobile
Note to Kaz: facing a LHB is in YOUR favor
Fan Since 1981 - May 6, 2010
this is just terrible
angelsfan7 - May 6, 2010
Kaz is done, hopefully Stokes can keep it under control
~MMP~ - May 6, 2010
At least it didn't take a GS this time.
AlanFalcon - May 6, 2010
Stokes will handle that chore
OC Awhole1 - May 6, 2010
It was Bulg(ing)ER(A) last year ... remember the Kubel cycle?
(barf)
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
butcher has worked wonders with kaz
and every other pitcher we have
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - May 6, 2010
FIRE BITCHER!
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
just as Hatcher has worked wonders with our hitters
Fred Fredrix - May 6, 2010
Just like Saunder's last start
Mikey stayed with a shot pitcher to go lefty-lefty
angelfan1954 - May 6, 2010
I honestly don't know if we can win another game this year.
gyoung08 - May 6, 2010
5 walks. Angels got hosed.
They traded for a 1974 Mercury Bobcat
Fan Since 1981 - May 6, 2010
can't be it
Reagins has a BA from CSUF
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
FML
I check the score and we are losing. wtf
princeton11loveshalos - May 6, 2010
Huh?
It’s only 4-4
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
He has a DeLorean.
Fan Since 1981 - May 6, 2010
wait a minute
OC Awhole1 - May 6, 2010
my bad
just jinxed it. Sorry guys
princeton11loveshalos - May 6, 2010
We are losing four to four.
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
you know what
man ive been off the whole day
princeton11loveshalos - May 6, 2010
It's all good, man.
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
Are you from the future?
AlanFalcon - May 6, 2010
He does to go Princeton
I hear the hoagies at Hoagie Haven give you clairvoyance.
Slyintine - May 6, 2010
Hoagie Haven
best hoagies in the world. Fat lady deliciousness. u ever swing by?
princeton11loveshalos - May 6, 2010
Kazmir SUCKS
It is official
K3YEROUT - May 6, 2010
blends in with his teammates
OC Awhole1 - May 6, 2010
CONSPIRACY THEORISTS:
This is as high leverage a situation as it can be.
STRIKE ONE WAS HARDLY TOUCHING THE CORNER.
Thank you for your time.
AlanFalcon - May 6, 2010
Where is 44fan's dead horse photo when we need it?
;)
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
kazmir didnt get that pitch
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - May 6, 2010
Here is your Dead Horse.
AlanFalcon - May 6, 2010
Struck out Beltre
~MMP~ - May 6, 2010
Wha?
Diffrn’t Stokes did? Wow. Kimberly and Willis are smiling somewhere.
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
what choo talkin bout Willis!
Fred Fredrix - May 6, 2010
HOLD THE LINE!!!!!
firebird81 - May 6, 2010
CRAPPPPPPPPPPPPP
angelsfan7 - May 6, 2010
HISSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!
mattwelch - May 6, 2010
Having a 25 man roster is important: sox ph-ing
Fan Since 1981 - May 6, 2010
Well, now we're losing
Slyintine - May 6, 2010
stokes is a terrible pitcher
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - May 6, 2010
He has allowed all of his inherited runners to score.
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
blame howie
he could have ended the bleeding but he choked.
Rev Halofan - May 6, 2010
Has Howie EVER dove and caught a ball?
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
and why does he always play in Kendry's back pocket
all I see is groundballs to where 2B is and Howie struggling to get to them
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
totally unacceptable
howie sucking the big one
Rev Halofan - May 6, 2010
Does Grich make that play?
Fan Since 1981 - May 6, 2010
with his eyes closed
one arm tied behind his back and running up hill
Rev Halofan - May 6, 2010
your hard on for hating howie kendrick
arouses me
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - May 6, 2010
Kendrick's garbage glove
when even Q will do
Rev Halofan - May 6, 2010
His glove has taken a turn for the worse this year...
horrible defender. Terrible.
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
he was bad the first 58 games last year too
Fred Fredrix - May 6, 2010
wow. i dont like this casey blake wanna be with his beard
but blake is clean shaven now..
GutterDem0n - May 6, 2010 via mobile
Soth is sucking too
OC Awhole1 - May 6, 2010
DAMN
UGHHHH I killed it. :(((
princeton11loveshalos - May 6, 2010
No...the Angels just stink right now badly
angelskid2210 - May 6, 2010
The Delorian?
Don’t tell me how this ends.
AlanFalcon - May 6, 2010
And Stokes had one good batter in him.
AlanFalcon - May 6, 2010
ahhhhhh
turned the TV on just in time.
clover_black - May 6, 2010
You know, at least the 2006 team was still fun to root for
We were breaking in a lot of young people in the second half, even almost made a run for it.
This team is just awful so far.
mattwelch - May 6, 2010
when the equivalent of gmj is brought into a tight spot
it shows you how horrible things are going to be
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - May 6, 2010
and i have no rooting interest
in the majority of the team…… built around yankee castoffs
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
I have been thinking that, too.
What the hell is this? Nothing but Yanks.
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
suckage arrived -game over
OC Awhole1 - May 6, 2010
wait
Fancoma(sic) will try to get another inning out of DiceK
1970cs - May 6, 2010
But he will pull him if the first batter walks...
Brian Strokes or Justin Speier will be adequate to shut our lineup down at this point.
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
Soth doesn't understand leverage at all
keypoint in the game. pretty much impossible for them to be a bigger moment for a pitcher with the bases loaded and 1 out and he brings in who I’m sure he would consider his 4th best reliever.
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
yeah, why not Rodney?
Fred Fredrix - May 6, 2010
Tito has his number..even before his suicide squeeze too many
angelfan1954 - May 6, 2010
managers don't win games
they lose them.
clover_black - May 6, 2010
He's throwing 96 and we have Howie expecting him to pull the ball
that’s genius right there
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
is someone supposed to position the infielders?
Fred Fredrix - May 6, 2010
I have no idea how the Angels are going to score 4 more runs
Slyintine - May 6, 2010
in Seattle maybe
OC Awhole1 - May 6, 2010
Go back in time and relive the 1st inning.
gyoung08 - May 6, 2010
I rarely give up here...
but man, this game is fucking over.
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
Napoli Grand Salami.
AlanFalcon - May 6, 2010
he'll eat one
OC Awhole1 - May 6, 2010
His mom's areolas surely resemble grand salamis...
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
Sox pitching isn't exactly tearing i up
Even tough Angels hitting isn’t either
Drizzzy - May 6, 2010
We have done nothing since the 1st inning.
gyoung08 - May 6, 2010
Huh?
Another drizzy?
Although this version is positive-thinking.
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
"Hello. United? Yes, I'd like a one-way ticket to Salt Lake"
Passenger name?
Last name Stokes. S-T-O-K-E-S
First name: Brian. B-R-I-A-N
First class?
No, no. Cargo will be fine.
Fan Since 1981 - May 6, 2010
get a discount for adding 12 other names
OC Awhole1 - May 6, 2010
hire a bus
angelfan1954 - May 6, 2010
lol
angelskid2210 - May 6, 2010
You know its bad when they're showing highlights of chowds
angelskid2210 - May 6, 2010
damn.
needed that leadoff speed on the bag.
clover_black - May 6, 2010
i find it humorous that mlb.tv is ahead of cable's mlb network feed
K3YEROUT - May 6, 2010
At least we have...
gyoung08 - May 6, 2010
Brian Stokes is about as useful as the guy we traded him for
UCIHalo - May 6, 2010
eh...
i’d rather see GMJ pitching than stokes.
daze - May 6, 2010
i would argue HGH Jr had more value...
K3YEROUT - May 6, 2010
especially since we're still paying him $10mil
Fred Fredrix - May 6, 2010
I have been thinking that GMJ is much more useful...
He is a mobile outfielder, as opposed to the concrete-shoed outfield we have been fielding.
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
no chance?
OC Awhole1 - May 6, 2010
Rivera off the monster!
AlanFalcon - May 6, 2010
Juanchoooo
Slyintine - May 6, 2010
jeez he finally got one past the SS
Fred Fredrix - May 6, 2010
any Bryce Harpers in next years draft?
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
In Angels stadium
That’s a warning track flyout
Slyintine - May 6, 2010
Freaking matsui is working his way toward batting .200
RexTookMyStash - May 6, 2010
No genki
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
Godzirra becomes the Geico lizard
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
its ok though
Angels don’t have to return the billboard money 4 signs we can’t read
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
this stadium is so fucking dumb.
clover_black - May 6, 2010
WATCH AND LEARN MIKEY.....WHEN YOUR PITCHER STARTS WEAKENING.....
angelfan1954 - May 6, 2010
He hooked Daisuke, right?
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
yeah
Fred Fredrix - May 6, 2010
Yep
Slyintine - May 6, 2010
Why the heck didn't Scioscia hook the cookie-tossing Kaz earlier?
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
I guess Soth wanted to give Kaz the chance to have a decision
Slyintine - May 6, 2010
He'll get a decision for sure
Fan Since 1981 - May 6, 2010
Francona 2 The Soth 0
Hermida in to PH for Bill Hall
Pulling DMat with the quick hook.
Fan Since 1981 - May 6, 2010
Delcarmen shreds, too...
Then they will follow with Barf and then Paperbon.
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
THAT'S JUST FOR TODAY
angelfan1954 - May 6, 2010
Stick a fork in em
chairmanofthebar - May 6, 2010
I get the feeling that
this game’s over. Relief pitching besides Jepsen and Rodney are suckage. If any other guy besides those 2 come up, I get worried.
phoenix15 - May 6, 2010
I'm revoking your strike force duties until you change your attitude.
RexTookMyStash - May 6, 2010
Why oh why...
do Kazmir and Saunders suck so bad?
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
Butcher doesn't understand lefties
possibly.
Slyintine - May 6, 2010
and everybody knows it but Mikey
angelfan1954 - May 6, 2010
At this point, they are not even close to their usual selves.
And they’re too young to be washed up.
Unless they are hiding an injury, both should bounce back.
Fan Since 1981 - May 6, 2010
Here comes Mr. Strike-out
firebird81 - May 6, 2010
followed by mr. strikeout
angelskid2210 - May 6, 2010
2.0
firebird81 - May 6, 2010
i find it hard 2 believe HK ran that all the way out
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
Another man on 3rd with 2 outs.
gyoung08 - May 6, 2010
howie, i thought u were fast?
K3YEROUT - May 6, 2010
you can hear that girl in the first row
can’t tell what she’s saying though
Fred Fredrix - May 6, 2010
LOL?
NAPPO SMASH
Slyintine - May 6, 2010
NAPOLI HR!
~MMP~ - May 6, 2010
NAPS!!!
daze - May 6, 2010
Naps!!!!!!!!!
Fred Fredrix - May 6, 2010
holy crap!!!
firebird81 - May 6, 2010
TAKE THAT CERA
clover_black - May 6, 2010
Nap hits mistakes
angelfan1954 - May 6, 2010
in his eyes?
1970cs - May 6, 2010
to right center
angelfan1954 - May 6, 2010
hr naps? wtf?
K3YEROUT - May 6, 2010
Huh
mattwelch - May 6, 2010
yeah
firebird81 - May 6, 2010
That wind is carrying
Slyintine - May 6, 2010
I'll take it
angelsfan7 - May 6, 2010
who was it that jynxed it?
victor or gubi?? i want them to jynx our hitters more!!

in my dreams
Fred Fredrix - May 6, 2010
Brandon actually does want an egg in his beer
angelfan1954 - May 6, 2010
Yep. The career .485 slugger is coming back.
Fan Since 1981 - May 6, 2010
oh please, brandon wood isn’t worried about the pitcher’s confidence. he’s just trying to decide whether to strike out or ground out
daze - May 6, 2010
ah, strike out wins the coin toss.
daze - May 6, 2010
Thanks NAP
angelsfan7 - May 6, 2010
b wood needs to start roiding.
clover_black - May 6, 2010
still need to hit the ball
angelskid2210 - May 6, 2010
i hope that's a fancy term for "sitting on the bench"
daze - May 6, 2010
Whoever said this stadium is dumb
They are so right.
Rivera doubles in a would-be flyball out. Napoli homerruns in a would-be popout
Slyintine - May 6, 2010
Riveras was a shot!
HR anywhere else
angelskid2210 - May 6, 2010
huh
Riveras is an easy homer here
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
juanchos woulda been a HR
and this stadium is complete horeshit.
clover_black - May 6, 2010
It is a POS
hauldog - May 6, 2010
Maybe we would be wining
if our pitching wasn’t so craptastic
UCIHalo - May 6, 2010
roll call
got home just in time to hear Naps hit a homer! NICE!!
ladybug - May 6, 2010
For these last three losses ... I blame 44fan's anger over not getting his vote in on Monday...
he has not posted since he could not log in to the pregame picks on Monday…
Come back to us, 44!
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
Actually I decided to quit posting until Nap hit his first homerun.
I changed my avatar to a Napoli road sign to change his luck. It only took for days…..
44FAN - May 6, 2010
*four days
44FAN - May 6, 2010
Benvenuti!
Buona nota, Amico!
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
Well
isn’t the Sox stadium a bit small compared to others? Maybe at the Big A it would’ve been a out on the warning track.
phoenix15 - May 6, 2010
Mikey...call down to the bullpen
angelfan1954 - May 6, 2010
Stoks sucks
UCIHalo - May 6, 2010
Stokes is still in? Scioscia must want to get swept.
hauldog - May 6, 2010
Stokes will be playing alongside Justin Speier real soon.
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
Wait, Stokes is still in
WTF?
mattwelch - May 6, 2010
sosh you moron!
pull out stokes!
GutterDem0n - May 6, 2010 via mobile
Stokes still in the game?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
But I ordered that ticket to Salt Lake for him.
Damn it!!! I even paid the $10 convenience charge.
Fan Since 1981 - May 6, 2010
Oh Jesus I hate this team right now
mattwelch - May 6, 2010
TAKE HIM OUT!
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
Wow that was awful
Slyintine - May 6, 2010
Oh god Aybar
~MMP~ - May 6, 2010
um stokes
hauldog - May 6, 2010
Oh, was it a bad throw? All I saw was Pedroia safe and they were saying Aybar couldn't handle the throw.
~MMP~ - May 6, 2010
E1
hauldog - May 6, 2010
Ahh, then I change my above comment to "Oh god Stokes"
~MMP~ - May 6, 2010
don't blame the rally socks

well, now i’m just disgusted.

I don't want to see Stokes in this uniform after tonight

DFA will occur tonight...
isn’t Chopper ready to go?

Me neither he is freaking awful..
hauldog - May 6, 2010
Worse than Reggie Willits in your book?
;)
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
no
hauldog - May 6, 2010
Just getting a gauge on that.
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
he is an abortion of a baseball player
hauldog - May 6, 2010
at least he hit youlk
hauldog - May 6, 2010
Francisco Rodriguez Part II in his brief appearance looked much better than Stokes.
Fan Since 1981 - May 6, 2010
But, he's been Stokes, Jr down in SLC since...
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
wow..
simply wow

Or at him
Slyintine - May 6, 2010
i’m alright with that hit.

Haha that made the game better...
Hit in his pussy pad
angelskid2210 - May 6, 2010

Wow, Rojas is taking out his frustrations on Youk
I likes.

PU, stinky pedo.
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
Where are all the Soth kool-aid drinkers now?
6 game losing streak, tie game bases loaded and this is his decision?
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
More to managing than in-game decisions
mattwelch - May 6, 2010
he aint playing...his players r pussiees
K3YEROUT - May 6, 2010
We've been listening to your constant bitterness...
and have now joined your chorus of anger.
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
He ain't helping
angelfan1954 - May 6, 2010
Lowell has no bat speed. If Stokes can't get him, he can't get anybody.
Fan Since 1981 - May 6, 2010
Oh come on
Don’t walk Lowell
Slyintine - May 6, 2010
Wow
Stokes had all the time to throw a perfect throw to Aybar, yet he throws the ball to him down low, and worse right near Pedroia’s feet. No way Aybar was gonna get that tag.
phoenix15 - May 6, 2010
BURN THE WITCH!

"But how do you KNOW she's a witch?"
“Cause she LOOKS like one~”

Lack of Major League ability, mostly

I will be shocked if Drew doesn't drive in at least two
mattwelch - May 6, 2010
i figured hed walk him
or give up the gs
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - May 6, 2010
jeez.
why they still have him in is beyond me. why does sosh always wait for the bases to be loaded to get a reliever to warm up?! and palmer of them all..
GutterDem0n - May 6, 2010 via mobile
STRIKES
MORE STRIKES
Slyintine - May 6, 2010
STOKES IS TERRIBLE
top 5 worst relievers last year, going for #1 this year
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - May 6, 2010
Yeah Stokes!! Let's go!!
angelskid2210 - May 6, 2010
Stokes vs. Drew

More like Yugo vs Hyundai.

I can't believe this

Does Soth even realize
it’s still only a one run game?
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
He's gonna walk in a run
chairmanofthebar - May 6, 2010
Nice Stokes
~MMP~ - May 6, 2010

i'm dying here
MAKE THE MOVE ALREADY SOTH
daze - May 6, 2010
and how come the first time I've seen a reliever start a fresh inning
after pitching the previous inning, was when he got lit up the previous inning?
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
And Palmer is coming in
~MMP~ - May 6, 2010
fuck you sosh and stokes
my f-bomb for the month

clover_black - May 6, 2010
the worst players

Quinlan's Goofy Swing - May 6, 2010
For someone with a mid-90s fastball, Stokes is awful. Bring back Paul Byrd.
Fan Since 1981 - May 6, 2010
Bring in Rodney for shit's sake!
Fred Fredrix - May 6, 2010
he'll pitch the 9th with them down 5 runs
he has to start a fresh inning
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
Did Jarrod Washburn ever sign with a team?
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
maybe
time to use him as a RP
phoenix15 - May 6, 2010
Not sure he would go for that
~MMP~ - May 6, 2010
isn’t he jobless right now?
phoenix15 - May 6, 2010
fine tell him he's starting the first 3 innings of every 5th game and have Kaz relieve him
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
No. I'd bring him back right away.
He’s mediocre, but he’s a consistent mediocre.
Fan Since 1981 - May 6, 2010
Barry Bonds!
44FAN - May 6, 2010
Yeah...
his face in Fenway has great memories for me…. Papi, Green Monstah … game series.

Aren't we still paying Speier?
Maybe he’s not busy
Quad Fin Rider - May 6, 2010
Doing stand-up comedy and puppet shows in kindergarten classes...
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
A DP and we're still within striking range
A bases-clearing double and… well… on to Seattle
RedHatHalo - May 6, 2010
Palmer only allows 50% of his inherited runners to score...
as opposed to STrokes’ 89%
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
So that's why stokes was the obvious choice
angelskid2210 - May 6, 2010
different stokes for different folks
daze - May 6, 2010
NOBODY deserves to get swept by the Red Sux
chairmanofthebar - May 6, 2010
He's never recovered from the "Boston Masacre Suicide Sqeeze"
He covers his ass
Plays the percentages (lefty/lefty
His “patience” is killing any chance at momentum
angelfan1954 - May 6, 2010
exactly he manages like a freakin robot
you could make a flow chart to predict who will pitch and be right 95% of the time
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
Beltre isn't going to walk, no way he takes 4 pitches
1970cs - May 6, 2010
Our bullpen blows
Slyintine - May 6, 2010
sub "team" for "bullpen" and I think you are spot on.
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
terriboe
just terriboe
Rev Halofan - May 6, 2010
If that was our batters they wouldve rolled over into a DP
angelskid2210 - May 6, 2010
And somewhere the ghost of Casey Stengel
… is saying “Is there anybody here who can play the game of baseball?”
RedHatHalo - May 6, 2010
yes
we should definitely sign Washburn. He’s still a FA, he actually throws strikes, and pretty decent still. I say sign Washburn to a 1 year deal, move him into the bullpen with occasional starts.
phoenix15 - May 6, 2010
panic move
oh well … it might be panic time…
Rev Halofan - May 6, 2010

decent numbers with Detroit?

MH252525 - May 6, 2010
Come on Palmer, DP
~MMP~ - May 6, 2010

this freakin bullpen needs to be rebuilt.
GutterDem0n - May 6, 2010 via mobile
oh so this is the reason palmer was going to retire from baseball
and make a career in landscaping.
clover_black - May 6, 2010
He'll get a lot more bush that way!!!
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
Glad I got the over. I saw Kazmir…thought…hmm he’s good for 4-5 innings 5+ runs, bullpen!?? f’gettttttt abouuuuuut it!!!!!!!!!
muddybox - May 6, 2010
All right, just got back and saw this. Here's my one for the month.
FUCK YOU, KAZMIR.
Clutch - May 6, 2010

Quad Fin Rider - May 6, 2010

Mostly Kazmir
The offense finally comes out to play and scores 6 runs, but Mr. Scott shits the bed and gives up 7? In less than 5 innings?

C'mon it was obvious...
we miss Darren Oliver
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
going from an All-Star 3B

only if i make the mistake of turning on this shitty game
yeswecan - May 6, 2010
Look on the bright side...
at least this isn’t as craptastic as the great collapse of 1995.
We are sucking before our expectations are too high.
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
well plus I actually cared about that team
you know lots of homegrown players, and some of them actually spoke English.
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
wow
yeswecan - May 6, 2010
whoops...
that is a something cist statement.
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
maybe you should follow the D-Backs
angelfan1954 - May 6, 2010
Or any pre-integration MLB team.
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
part of following a team for me
is knowing the team’s character…. I find it kind of hard to know a players character when everything he says goes through Mota. I’m sure they great people and all, but you going to tell me you didn’t love a postgame interview from King Fish……. more than hearing Kendry talk through Mota?
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
ask a Cuban-American, for example
yeswecan - May 6, 2010
yea I'm sure having Cubans to follow is special for Cuban-Americans
LGPA wanted all their golfers to speak English for the same reasons I’m talking about. Care a lot less when their is a language barrier.
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
You have your beliefs and that is fine...
but I am just going to let it go. Rough night.
“Look at that little monkey go!”
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
character has nothing to do with language
angelfan1954 - May 6, 2010
I didn't say it did
I said it has everything though with me KNOWING their character. I want to follow players that I feel like I KNOW. Us speaking different languages gets in the way of me feeling like I know them.
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
Learn some Spanish...
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
when I'm a fan of a team
in California???? The signs outside of Angels Stadium say “STOP” yes? Not “ALTO”
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
plus to follow the Angels
I’d have to learn Japanese as well as whatever the hell Rodney speaks
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
I spoke some Japanese to Matsui at ST...
he got a good chuckle out of it and ended up stopping for a minute. Reaching out goes a long way. Being a stubborn “This is the US of A, DAMMIT” red-neck does not go far in endearing our friends from other nations.
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
yea believe it or not I speak enough Spanish to get my point across
but unless I go back to college and take Spanish I’m NEVER going to be fluent enough to understand what they are saying.
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
in fact I said I'm sure they are great people
gg reading comprehension
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
Most of the current players speak English too
~MMP~ - May 6, 2010
season's not over yet
yeswecan - May 6, 2010
I'm not goin' "scareduck" just yet.
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
haha, well what I really meant was...
….it can’t truly get worse than ‘95 until we get to the end of the season, so there’s even time for the Angels to right the ship and then wrong it again!
yeswecan - May 6, 2010
My God
Ten hits, seven walks, two errors, and a hit batsman in six fucking innings! “Get ’em tomorrow” just doesn’t work for this team right now.
Suboptimal - May 6, 2010
Get away game to Seattle..the whole division sucks..they say Seattle's even worse that the Angels
angelfan1954 - May 6, 2010
The question is
Does Angel pitching suck more than Mariners hitting? Smart money isn’t on the Angels right now…
Suboptimal - May 6, 2010
I'm putting money on...
the Mariners getting a 10-spot at least once in this upcoming series…
And Figgins will get a slumpbuster and be loved by the Pac NW.
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
Smart money huh?
hauldog - May 6, 2010
Angels will be the first EVER WS Champs with a Top 10 pick the following June
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
I think even the Boston fans are tired of cheering now
And probably think “The Angels are just too pathetic to jeer anymore”
RedHatHalo - May 6, 2010
I bet they left this thing... such a stinker
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
We need to bring in Andy Hassler, Dave Goltz, and Dave Laroche
to coach our relief pitchers.
And then Triumph the Insult Comic Dog can poop on them all.

The sad part is, even if the Angels score some runs to give us hope
I know the blowpen will just turn around and give them all back

no
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
hideki vs hideki..
who will win?
GutterDem0n - May 6, 2010 via mobile
Head-achy
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
Hideki. I'm sure of it
~MMP~ - May 6, 2010
the one that doesn't suck
Quad Fin Rider - May 6, 2010
both do
OC Awhole1 - May 6, 2010
well we know which one sucks more now
Quad Fin Rider - May 6, 2010
BadSushi at the plate
OC Awhole1 - May 6, 2010
That was a Vlade swing
RedHatHalo - May 6, 2010
all his AB's look like sh*t
OC Awhole1 - May 6, 2010
I guess you missed the first couple weeks of the season, when he was doing really well.
~MMP~ - May 6, 2010
seems like eons ago
OC Awhole1 - May 6, 2010
Well...
RedHatHalo - May 6, 2010
And there goes the game
~MMP~ - May 6, 2010
You arrived at that junction a lot later than most!
Kudos to you! ;)
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
I was pretty sure of it going into the inning, but then I saw 2 on No outs, and had a little bit of hope. That's gone now
~MMP~ - May 6, 2010
DAMN this team...
for making me switch over to the MLB Network and deal with Cackling Pseudo-Redneck /Fulltime Scab Kevin Millar.
poguemahone - May 6, 2010
If Hud was working...we'd be hearing about that time in Topeka.."We were getting beat in the 7th.....
I could tolerate this outrage so much better
angelfan1954 - May 6, 2010
9 L's lookin more likely now
OC Awhole1 - May 6, 2010
7 losses inarow is the alltime record
angelfan1954 - May 6, 2010
then this a record setting team
OC Awhole1 - May 6, 2010
I guess the pitchers figured "Why bother? The relievers will just give it all back anyway"
RedHatHalo - May 6, 2010
Oops, I meant the hitters
RedHatHalo - May 6, 2010
probably both.
The starters dont feel like pitching their very best because the blowpen keeps giving up runs, and the hitters don’t feel like trying because everytime they get up, they crumble down
phoenix15 - May 6, 2010
Watching this game is warping my already warped brain
RedHatHalo - May 6, 2010
prediction for tomorrow
Cross country flight, playing like crap, facing felix in pitcher’s park, EQUALS no-hitter tomorrow. Glad I’m @ Nickelback concert.
K3YEROUT - May 6, 2010 via mobile
is Tiger there?
angelfan1954 - May 6, 2010
tomorrow night
K3YEROUT - May 6, 2010 via mobile
it's ok though
Torii is well rested for August
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
i think the pickle on FaceBook
has more fans than nickelback
Rev Halofan - May 6, 2010
Wait...I thought it was 7-11...
do we suck so bad we actually LOST a run?
dr-awkward - May 6, 2010
we sucked a run off the scoreboard
OC Awhole1 - May 6, 2010
ROFL!
lightupthat420 - May 6, 2010
we really need Rex – we need his encouragement right now…
angelsfan7 - May 6, 2010
7 straight..enough blame to go around.. Don't exclude the managing..Mikey has sucked as much as anybody
angelfan1954 - May 6, 2010
I'm so glad I don't have to watch Youklis bat anymore after tonight.
44FAN - May 6, 2010
Just bet against the Angels guys.
If they lose you win money and feel at least a little better.
If they win you feel great, although I’m forgetting what that kind of feeling feelsl like
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
in like AAA
there has got to be someone at least as good as Palmer ,,, or maybe even sitting at home on some couch somewhere…
Rev Halofan - May 6, 2010
Kohn is way way better
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
Ill give it a shot.
dr-awkward - May 6, 2010
Jarrod Washburn anyone?
LazorkoRules - May 6, 2010
Me
phoenix15 - May 6, 2010
nein danke
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
Can we get a more
dependable bullpen? Seriously, the rate of inherited runners scoring is just absurd. Jepsen and Rodney are the only dependable guys in the bullpen. I say sign Washburn, test Reckling out ( he can’t possibly be worse then Stokes). This bullepen is so much fail.
phoenix15 - May 6, 2010
Not sure putting Reckling in the pen is the answer
~MMP~ - May 6, 2010
Right now,
the only guys good in the bullpen is Rodney and Jepsen. Say Shields gets his mojo back, but that’s probably not gonna happen until Jul-Aug. And the way Mike likes putting pitchers for 1 inning even though they dominated.
phoenix15 - May 6, 2010
they say he a long way off
angelfan1954 - May 6, 2010
doesn’t necessarily
have to be Reckling. Im sure some pitcher in AAA is better then Stokes to take his spot.
phoenix15 - May 6, 2010
17 3 ball counts
wth is going on
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
as the world's number one ump-blamer
our pitchers could not find the strike zone tonight.
Rev Halofan - May 6, 2010
Diaz was consistent
angelfan1954 - May 6, 2010
How good is his fastball, though?
Downing Rules - May 6, 2010
Gubi & Rojas , soooo milktoast
OC Awhole1 - May 6, 2010
welcome to the Corporate Front Office
ridding this franchise of all personality.
As an independent media goofball, this is as good a window of opportunity as I will ever have…
Rev Halofan - May 6, 2010
hunter never been to fenway before?
hauldog - May 6, 2010
apparently not - since he doen't know how to play with that wall they have.
angelsfan7 - May 6, 2010
I need my Hudler security blanket back
poguemahone - May 6, 2010
I have my Matsui blankie
Fred Fredrix - May 6, 2010
way to back up Bobby A
angelfan1954 - May 6, 2010
or Juan
Fred Fredrix - May 6, 2010
yea Jaun should have gotten their first
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
worst OF defense in the league
OC Awhole1 - May 6, 2010
by far
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
just the oldest
angelfan1954 - May 6, 2010
which correlates with worst defensively
to the tune of like 85% hehe
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
at least Naps is still playing
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
at least Napoli has GRIT on that play
or maybe just big tits
Rev Halofan - May 6, 2010
Jesus Christ
mattwelch - May 6, 2010
Van Halen Jump comes to mind
hauldog - May 6, 2010
F%^@ me...
dr-awkward - May 6, 2010
nice throw nips, NOT
OC Awhole1 - May 6, 2010
Its pretty sad, but i think
Matsui played the best defense in the OF this series.
phoenix15 - May 6, 2010
AH - yep.
great throw to the plate for an ASSIST… take that Big Lame Hunter
Rev Halofan - May 6, 2010
I kinda feel bad for Palmer
he’s not such a bad pitcher when he’s not used in long relief every other game. He’s going to have thrown over 7 IP so far…… this roadtrip
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
That's his JOB
mattwelch - May 6, 2010
yea I"m just saying his ERA is taking a hit
because he’s the last guy in the pen. I’d take Palmer over Stokes or Old Shields anyday and I’m dead serious
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
huh?
his ERA is only affected by runs earned on his watch.
dr-awkward - May 6, 2010
yea I know
but Palmer doesn’t have someone come bail him out nearly as quickly as other relievers because Palmer is the guy that is suppose to take one for the team.
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
some bad fielding behind him too
OC Awhole1 - May 6, 2010
yeah....what a pity.
a well payed major league pitcher not getting the job done.
dr-awkward - May 6, 2010
Was
Palmer used that much?
phoenix15 - May 6, 2010
well, the good news...nobody was injured
angelfan1954 - May 6, 2010
Rojas: "The Angels are just not playing crisp baseball right now"
As Howard Cosell would say: "That man has an uncanny grasp for the obvious"
Quad Fin Rider - May 6, 2010
The only thing funny is watching Gub and Rojos struggle to stay positive or say anything positive right now.
44FAN - May 6, 2010
oblivious to the true suckage nature of their play
OC Awhole1 - May 6, 2010
I wish
we had 2006-2008 Shields, 2002 K-Rod, 1999-2000 Percival, 2002 Donnelley, and 09 Jepsen/Rodney
phoenix15 - May 6, 2010
probably
the best bullpen in game
phoenix15 - May 6, 2010
With how Mike Lowell has been doing this series, I would be okay with trading for him on one condition
He gets to face our pitching
~MMP~ - May 6, 2010
That he punch Lackey before he comes here?
rspencer - May 6, 2010
That would be good too, so actually 2 conditions
~MMP~ - May 6, 2010
Here's a guy I'd like the Angels give a shot to
scouting report has always said he has a killer slider.

MH252525 - May 6, 2010
IF...Mathis wasn't hurt....IF Izturis could play everyday....
angelfan1954 - May 6, 2010
if pigs could fly
OC Awhole1 - May 6, 2010
I'd wear a hat more often
rspencer - May 6, 2010
a Halo helmet?
OC Awhole1 - May 6, 2010
I hate this stadium
Teixeira Who? - May 6, 2010
I put away all my sharp objects. I am signing off.
hauldog - May 6, 2010
I've turned the gas back on
rspencer - May 6, 2010
(and put my head back in the oven)
rspencer - May 6, 2010
what’s the score?
Too scared to look
phoenix15 - May 6, 2010
11-6 Boston
~MMP~ - May 6, 2010
trAdition
Dono Romantico - May 6, 2010
Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse
they have to show that on our telecast????
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
retards
dr-awkward - May 6, 2010
those chowds need a monkey
angelfan1954 - May 6, 2010
NOT ours
angelsfan7 - May 6, 2010
sorry..retahds
dr-awkward - May 6, 2010
what the hell are those people doing?
angelsfan7 - May 6, 2010
jabba the hut
red sox fan
Rev Halofan - May 6, 2010
LMFA Soth
you can’t pitch Rodney when the bases are loaded in a tied game, but you fucking pitch him down 5 runs in the 8th………………. Am I not the only one peeved beyond belief at this?
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
Yes
rspencer - May 6, 2010
that had to be the stupidest thing I've ever seen at a game
angelsfan7 - May 6, 2010
so who is winning the B.O.T.G.?
Dono Romantico - May 6, 2010
Kaz
nibble nibble
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
Abner Doubleday
rspencer - May 6, 2010
the entire bullpen
phoenix15 - May 6, 2010
the people who let Rex go at the beginning of the season. They are to blame for all of this
angelsfan7 - May 6, 2010
Hard to say, everyone who stood on the mound in an Angels uniform has made a strong case for themselves
~MMP~ - May 6, 2010
Jesus
dr-awkward - May 6, 2010
whole team is a giant suckball
OC Awhole1 - May 6, 2010
Gene Autry
For bringing baseball to Anaheim.
mattwelch - May 6, 2010
I wonder why
they keep saying tradition? The Angels until this decade have been quite horrible.
phoenix15 - May 6, 2010
letting good players go
losing
Dono Romantico - May 6, 2010
What was Jobba Chamberlain's mom doing in Boston tonight?
44FAN - May 6, 2010
lol
angelsfan7 - May 6, 2010
oh wow
so funny! niiiiicccccccccccceeeeeeeeeeeee
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
As the medical examiner's report will likely show
the operative question will be ‘What wasn’t she doing?’
0157H7 - May 6, 2010
Proof Cock!
Jay Alfred in the house
Rev Halofan - May 6, 2010
Gee that K might have come in handy
say in like the 5th inning
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
you are complaining
abut Soth being Soth … I did not see you whining here when we were winning 97 games about strict bullpen roles over high-leverage percentages, but now you are fixated on it.
Rev Halofan - May 6, 2010
you don't remember me complaining about Soth the last 4 years????
I’ve always complained about his handling of the bullpen. I think Soth has definite strengths but I’ve always thought he was a lousy chess player…….
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
Italians are not known for chess players
we should of gotten a russian manager
Dono Romantico - May 6, 2010
fantastic cheese player though.
clover_black - May 6, 2010
personal experience you want to share?
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
ricotta . lasagna.
it was funny in my alcohol soaked mind.
carry on.
clover_black - May 6, 2010
Nice play Aybar
angelsfan7 - May 6, 2010
yeahhh Rodney
angelsfan7 - May 6, 2010
Hey a 1-2-3 inning!
~MMP~ - May 6, 2010
baby steps
Dono Romantico - May 6, 2010
RALLY TIME!!!!
dr-awkward - May 6, 2010
we'll spank our monkey this inning
OC Awhole1 - May 6, 2010
the royal "we"?
dr-awkward - May 6, 2010
oui
OC Awhole1 - May 6, 2010
When was the last time they lost seven straight?
Tom Servo 93 - May 6, 2010
trAdition tells me.......
Dono Romantico - May 6, 2010
2002 i think they said
dr-awkward - May 6, 2010
Maybe that means they'll win the World Series this year...
Tom Servo 93 - May 6, 2010
naturally...
dr-awkward - May 6, 2010
8 straight?
OC Awhole1 - May 6, 2010
I got a Travis Tritt problem......The Whisky ain't work'n
angelfan1954 - May 6, 2010
rally socks
angelfan1954 - May 6, 2010
HERE WE GO!!!!!
dr-awkward - May 6, 2010
Not to pour salt on wounds right now with our bullpen
but does anyone remember the specifis of dropping O’Day? Man would he ever be useful now.
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
"Nice piece of hitting" just does'nt have the same ring to it when coming out of Rojos' mouth.
44FAN - May 6, 2010
we were winning in the first what happened?
DAD OF VLAD - May 6, 2010
ha ha ha
dr-awkward - May 6, 2010
we're losing...
again
Dono Romantico - May 6, 2010
basically Kaz showed why he's a 4 inning pitcher
and then Stokes crapped the bed. Naps did hit a homerun than off the bat he got pissed at, kind of amusing
MH252525 - May 6, 2010
4th to much credit
DAD OF VLAD - May 6, 2010
Suck
~MMP~ - May 6, 2010
c'mon Bobby
