LOS ANGELES, CA - JUNE 15:  Sean 'Diddy' Combs and director Spike Lee talk during half time of Game Six of the 2010 NBA Finals between the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers at Staples Center on June 15, 2010 in Los Angeles, California.

LOS ANGELES, CA - JUNE 15: Sean 'Diddy' Combs and director Spike Lee talk during half time of Game Six of the 2010 NBA Finals between the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers at Staples Center on June 15, 2010 in Los Angeles, California.

Erick Aybar injury report: the Angels shortstop has a torn meniscus in his knee according to the MRI he received tonight and will be reevaluated on Friday.

Final Score in Los Angeles of Anaheim: Angels 1, Brewers 7...

Star-divide

Thirty Miles down the road from the Staples Center, they sure were not rockin' although some of them were Brewin', but even then not all of them got their fedora hats in yet another botched stadium giveaway.

The Lakers had Diddy and Spike Lee, Michelle Obama and Jack Nicholson in the house on Tuesday night. The Angels had Bill Engvall in a pink shirt yammering about the radical idea of a fan like himself starting his own weekly baseball blog. Weekly? Ha, good luck with that.

Talk about the best night of the year to get your tail handed to you by a subpar mid-market midget squad. Southern California is raging for Kobe to crush Boston and me and the girlfriend are watching Ervin Santana's second consecutive slider-free start. And another high scoring mauling left everyone wondering if that team they saw stomp the Dodgers this weekend was actually an illusion... or perhaps the Dodgers are deeply terrible.

I'm thinking tomorrow's game thread shouldn't have any mention of 1982.
I second that

Bad MOJO

cool

you swayed me.

Tomorrows Thread title

“Hang Over Cure for Brew Crew, A WIN”

i hope so...

i’ll be at tomorrow’s game, and so far i’m 9 for 10 with wins over the past 2 seasons for games i’ve attended. the 1 loss was because i brought my now ex-girlfriend. she was bad luck.

No it shouldn't.

Forget ‘82, the first year my Halos broke my heart. I just knew the Angels were going to the WS, until the Brewer’s ruined that possibility.

I vote Torii Hunter for BOTG

if only for being either incredibly selfish or slim chance of being just incredibly incredibly stupid.

Guy is 2nd in the league in CS. The average number of stolen bases for people with 6 CS is like 17. Torii has FIVE………

Wow.

You guys are pretty bitter.

Thanks for stopping by
"i'm not bitter, you're just an asshole"

quoting one of my good friends’ jokes he always brings out when someone uses the “B” word.

Nice.

I’m gonna remember that one.

And I mean that in a...

… ooo, that’s a good one, I’m going to use it way, not a maniacal I’ll get you and your little dog toto too kind of way.

It's a goodie...

No explanation needed.

F*** the Lakers

I come here to get away from hearing about that team of rapists and soft greaseballs, not to hear about them more.

Let’s talk about the Angels, and not that displaced team of Minnesotans half-heartedly cheered on by bandwagon douches.

Agreed.

Lakers are the New York Yankees of basketball. A bunch of bandwagon, who’s who court-side nonsense.

How? Explain your wild accusations…

How am I a band wagon fan?

To this day, one of my favorite players was Eddie Jones. Still have his jersey. And I backed the Lakers during Pfund and Riley. I don’t consider myself a new found Cavs fan, circa Lebron’s drafting. There are many band wagon Laker fans. I ain’t one of them.

Matter of fact,

I left out the first coach of the Lakers, from my first game, Paul Westhead. That first game I attended was back in ‘78. But yeah, i’m a band wagon fan. Long live the Great Western Forum.

Eddie Jones and Nicky V.

Part of that failed “The Lake Show” experiment in the mid-1990’s. I remember those days well.

You mean Nick Van Exelent?

I’m just bummed that Sedale Threatt never really worked out. I liked that dude.

Thank you.

I also am a non-bandwagon Lakers fan, having followed from the days of Jerry West.

You left out the part where they also try to screw their housekeeper out of due salary.
speak for your self

ive been a Laker and Angel Fan all my life idk what the big deal is

I'm with you, my friend.

some people act as if Kobe raped them.

Agreed

When did supporting the local team make you a bandwagon fan? It’s as if were supposed to be condemned because they actually win. Silliness i say

Since clearly it's impossible for any teaam to be ALL bandwagon fans

making that extrapolation is on you, not on me. We all call Dodgers fans fairweather, and yet we all know they aren’t ALL as such. We make fun of the Dodgers for not being a “true” Southern California team, I’ll do likewise for this displaced team full of hateable assholes at most every position.

Spike Lee

What a pussy wearing his Yankee gear. Be a real fan for your team, rock the NY Knicks gear.

at least he’s rockin USA soccer.

Spike Lee is an asshole

Just showing up at the Lakers games because his Knicks are long out, and he’s rooting against Boston.

OK, that last part is a good thing.

Go Lakers!

Go Kobe!

Concur vlad,

Screw those chowd crowd bastards!

What a game.

No lie, I had a chance at Lakers tickets, but was given free tickets to tonights game against the the Brewers. I chose the latter, and am dumber for it, i’m awarded no points, and may god have mercy upon my soul. BOTG goes to the entire team, for losing a 2nd consecutive game to the Brew Crew. A Brew Crew that made us look BAD. At least the Lakers won.

Wow.

You’re dumb.

Yeah, I know.

Thanks for reinforcing my thoughts of stupidity. I really do suck. :(

he really did break it down to the point where it should leave you embarrassed.

The one thing I hate about Laker fans is the fuckin’ flags that they fly on the sides of their car. That’s the only problem, people do know the abundance of bandwagon fans the 2002 Angels produced, right? How’d did you have a chance at tickets, that’s some serious monies even with connections.

What, you’re ok with them rioting and burning people’s cars when their team wins? Well, you did say, the ONLY thing you have against them is….

If that’s a problem I suggest you move outta LA.

My bro-in-law has some serious money,

And a block of season tickets (4 of them) and was willing to part with one last night, based on a payment plan. My cousin had FREE tickets to the Halos game, mom didn’t raise no dummy Chuck. Leave the gun, take the cannoli, and free tickets.

He may be dumb, but he chose the FREE tickets...

as opposed to buying Laker tickets. Courtside were a mere $20,000 each on stubhub yesterday. Oh, and that was $20k EACH for four tickets, putting someone’s price tag at $80,000 for a night out with the family.

Spike Lee sucks

25th hour, Inside man, Do the Right Thing, and Malcolm X say otherwise.

How can you forget Mars Blackman?

“Money, it’s gotta be da shoes!”

Michael Jordan uses the force of his muscles to accelerate himself in the vertical plane, thereby creating a low-altitude Earth Orbit
It's Blackmon

And stay off my kicks

Confused with Rolando Blackman of old Dallas Mavericks lore.

My bad.

All great movies

Yet they still don’t cancel out that god awful hat.

Disappointed...

I have seen 6 blowouts in person this season.

The combined scores of those games is 10 for our guys to 54 for the bad guys. Yikes.

April 8: 1 – 10
April 9: 4 – 10
April 27: 2 – 9
May 24: 0 – 6
June 14: 2 – 12
June 15: 1 – 7

The “good” news is that the team is 4W-4L in the other games I’ve attended. Last season the team went 20W-9L in games I attended. Of the 9L last season, 3 were blowout losses.

I have tried so many different mojo boosters to end my bad luck this year. Nothing works. Maybe this team is just bad at home.

Wow, 6 blowout losses? You're really bad luck apparently.
Stop going to games!

Win ruiner!

TWENTY and NINE last year.

Read it and weep. If I’m bad luck, then what the heck happened last year? ;)

New season - you lost your mojo just like Brandon Wood.
There's only been two series this season where i didn't post a single time

and we swept both of them. I think i’m bad luck too.

Yeah, not posting didn't work for me last night either.

I think I’m not even going to turn on the TV.

I remember seeing Edmonds score, flipping to the Laker game, and coming back 15 minutes or so later, and it was stil the 2nd f-ing inning!!!

[EMO-TEEN]
I was all, like, WTF???
[/EMO-TEEN]

What kind of masks did the Lakers win?

halloween masks?

ney, Slipknot masks.
