We'll leave all the negativity in the last thread
RexTookMyStash - June 30, 2010
no kidding
it was getting pretty nasty.
HalosFanInNorCal - June 30, 2010
nice catch bobby!
ZiK - June 30, 2010
Wow, good catch by Bobby
TheKingfish - June 30, 2010

I almost thought you meant to do that...
angelskid2210 - June 30, 2010
OK, heart of the order coming up
Let’s do this

People asking about Kaz contract
Angels’ contracts
linkbruin - June 30, 2010
thanks
grahams98 - June 30, 2010
The GMJ of starting pitching for the Angels
stolenbases - June 30, 2010
Huge premium
On lefty starters in this league
linkbruin - June 30, 2010
But like
good lefties, right?
TheKingfish - June 30, 2010
You'd hope so
linkbruin - June 30, 2010
Evidently washed up lefties with pedestrian stuff get them too
stolenbases - June 30, 2010
Jelly of the month club
the gift that just keeps givin Clark

ouch
i keep forgetting that we owe GMJ and Speier money
wowsers
dan73962 - June 30, 2010
wonder what reagins extension is
seems so intertwined in FO that he’s not going anywhere.
clover_black - June 30, 2010
Looking ahead for TXS ...
A four game series with the Baltimore . Thats just great .
Ed@northridge - June 30, 2010
screw that
let’s just beat their asses tonight and tomorrow
Dono Romantico - June 30, 2010
I heard they've got a road series against the little sisters of the poor.
angelskid2210 - June 30, 2010
i wonder who the Rangers had to pay off
to get their pathetically easy schedule,
HalosFanInNorCal - June 30, 2010
Goooo Halooooooos!
AlanFalcon - June 30, 2010 via mobile
get some
bringrexandstevebac - June 30, 2010

way too into it

Almost put that in
Parentheses at the end of my post. But then I’d have looked like I expected you guys to be immature.
Figgi4life - June 30, 2010 via mobile
Why is Mathis starting again?
blochead - June 30, 2010
Chicks dig him?
stolenbases - June 30, 2010
because he rarely wears underwear
and if he does, its usually something unusuall
OC Awhole1 - June 30, 2010
2009 Playoffs
TheKingfish - June 30, 2010
hah
the difference of a thread, last time it was why isn’t mathis starting tonight (I dont mean you, just Angels fans as a whole)
sctrojan13 - June 30, 2010
I don't believe that anyone really likes Mathis
blochead - June 30, 2010
I don't like him
I just think he needs to be given a shot at consistent playing time, he has sucked after injury as most people do. If he continues as is, he’s done. If he plays like the 09 playoffs/pre-injury this year then we win.
sctrojan13 - June 30, 2010
He has had 2 years to not suck
last year was an aberration.
blochead - June 30, 2010
Dude is 27
and has shown flashes. It was his first 2 years getting decent playing time and even at that he didn’t get anything consistent. He probably didn’t get every start in a series without Naps being hurt.
sctrojan13 - June 30, 2010
I know you have faith in Mathis
If he played say 130-140 games a season behind the dish, what do you see his numbers as? Do you feel he can hit for average, power, OBP, or all of the above? Just curious.
stolenbases - June 30, 2010
Good question
I don’t know much about trying to project out what kind of hitter someone would be.
sctrojan13 - June 30, 2010
He plays for a team that contends every year
They can’t waste major league at-bats hoping he develops.
blochead - June 30, 2010
Wood?
sctrojan13 - June 30, 2010

that's not gonna get it done
Dono Romantico - June 30, 2010
i got a feelin~~
so let’s not screw this up and score 2+ ru s
dan73962 - June 30, 2010
reggie sure got ahold of that one
clover_black - June 30, 2010
On the positive side, at least he didn't pop out to the catcher
Big Easy Halofan - June 30, 2010
Dammit Willits
Do not swing the bat
blochead - June 30, 2010
alright
i’ll take a run!
ZiK - June 30, 2010
AYBAR!!!
HalosFanInNorCal - June 30, 2010
Eh, got a run
Bullpen needs to hold for this offense though
TheKingfish - June 30, 2010
That was Willits homer
linkbruin - June 30, 2010
Woo hoo! They finally score a run with a runner on base!
“Future Batting Champ” is up too!
stolenbases - June 30, 2010
Howie you owe us
blochead - June 30, 2010
get on base Howie
Dono Romantico - June 30, 2010
wow this is kind of fun actually
watching Angels game and posting on HH at the same time is entertaining that is
dan73962 - June 30, 2010
Why do you think
So many of us do it?
Figgi4life - June 30, 2010 via mobile
none of us
have a life
sctrojan13 - June 30, 2010
YAH
what took you so long
bringrexandstevebac - June 30, 2010
A run is a run is a run
linkbruin - June 30, 2010
howie with the base hit!

What would we do baby? Without us?
stolenbases - June 30, 2010
That was terrible fielding by Abreu
blochead - June 30, 2010
you talking about the catch at the top of the inning?
ZiK - June 30, 2010
Both plays
He made them look harder than they actually were.
blochead - June 30, 2010
It's up to you Old Man
better not go 0 for 4
Dono Romantico - June 30, 2010
Yesterday
It was Juan saving our pitchers. Now it’s Abruu.
Figgi4life - June 30, 2010 via mobile
Howie pulled the ball?!>
linkbruin - June 30, 2010
It is such a rare occurence
the SS was playing up the middle or else he probably would’ve fielded that
angelskid2210 - June 30, 2010
Well
Finish the equation. “Howie pulled the ball!” is greater than what?
Figgi4life - June 30, 2010 via mobile
Howie grounding out to second?
linkbruin - June 30, 2010
striking out on ball in the dirt with runner on 3rd with one out...
???

cmon torii!

you heard it first
bringrexandstevebac - June 30, 2010
Why the hell?
blochead - June 30, 2010
double steal
angels baseball!
ZiK - June 30, 2010
Double Steal
doesn’t mean anything if Torii can’t come through. C’mon
TheKingfish - June 30, 2010
CRAP
HalosFanInNorCal - June 30, 2010
Sometimes I wonder
What’s wrong with the angels.
Figgi4life - June 30, 2010 via mobile
Mike Scioscia is retarded
blochead - June 30, 2010
I'm not sure what Scioscia did wrong there
Don’t think he told Torii to line out to the pitcher
linkbruin - June 30, 2010
No, but he called a double steal with two outs
Torii had to take a pitch to allow that boneheaded play then he was down 0-2
blochead - June 30, 2010
Could have been a contact play and Torii just didn't swing
Other possibilities as well. But I don’t think it was necessarily Soth’s fault.
linkbruin - June 30, 2010
Of course
stolenbases - June 30, 2010
gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The worst
linkbruin - June 30, 2010
Nice AB Torii
Dono Romantico - June 30, 2010
Why didn't we consider
Walking vlad with the bases loaded?
Figgi4life - June 30, 2010 via mobile
maybe next time
Dono Romantico - June 30, 2010
because then you have...hamilton with the bases loaded?
ZiK - June 30, 2010
this
sctrojan13 - June 30, 2010
And?
I’d rather face him than vlad, tbh.
Figgi4life - June 30, 2010 via mobile
not right now
Hamilton’s June has been ridiculous.
Plus if we walk Vlad yesterday we probably lose
sctrojan13 - June 30, 2010
If I were any other team,
I’d agree. But unfortunately, Vlad’s got a bone to pick with us.
Figgi4life - June 30, 2010 via mobile
That still isn't enough
A guy with a retooled swing that has made him hit like a god or a guy with intangible things like wanting to show his old team they were wrong. I’ll take the chance against the intangible guy instead of the potential triple crown guy
sctrojan13 - June 30, 2010
obviously you haven't been watching Vlad bat during this series..
b0rd3rline - June 30, 2010
Hamilton's gone from good to triple crown candidate
in a month, where he has a 1.301 ops. Yeah Vlad is killing us, but Hamilton is killing everyone. Hindsight is 20/20
sctrojan13 - June 30, 2010
Hula FAIL!
Way to tell Vlad that this is YOUR team now! NIce to see ya! NOT

RexTookMyStash - June 30, 2010
No, but the Reggie Jackson guy probably ate a couple during the Freeway Series
Big Easy Halofan - June 30, 2010

But this is a good what if scenario read for Lakers fans. Here
linkbruin - June 30, 2010
thats core
bringrexandstevebac - June 30, 2010
read that earlier today
Pretty interesting read, love those what-if type stories
TheKingfish - June 30, 2010
nice inning sean
let’s get some runs!
ZiK - June 30, 2010
Could our DH possibly get on base tonight????
Dono Romantico - June 30, 2010
Way to let Vlad dominate Godzirrahhh
pull your head out!
K3YEROUT - June 30, 2010
he did walk earlier tonight
ZiK - June 30, 2010
big f'ing whoopdeeedoooo
Vlad had Salami and double
K3YEROUT - June 30, 2010
well he asked if he would get on base
i was just saying: he has.
ZiK - June 30, 2010
"Kinsler is just a little bit too cocky"?
nice understatement there Terry
HalosFanInNorCal - June 30, 2010
Terry said that?
When?
Figgi4life - June 30, 2010 via mobile
Just before Kinsler popped out to end the inning
HalosFanInNorCal - June 30, 2010
First read:
Pooped out. Which would be hilarious.
linkbruin - June 30, 2010
lmao..
HalosFanInNorCal - June 30, 2010
Just before end of inning...he said, "KInsler is one of those guys you love to have on your team and hate him if he is playing against you"
K3YEROUT - June 30, 2010
the quote continues with Terry saying
because Kinsler is just a little bit too cocky.
HalosFanInNorCal - June 30, 2010
Don't look now but that is 7 straight for SOS
K3YEROUT - June 30, 2010
Damn. Sully's holding it down for the home team

Catchy? Kinda. But has some bad juju around it.

O’Sullivan for POTG.
Tom Servo 93 - June 30, 2010
Vlad would'a ran that out..
b0rd3rline - June 30, 2010
and maybe pulled a hammy
Dono Romantico - June 30, 2010
yeah he kinda jogged that
firebird81 - June 30, 2010
Matsui = Yawn

Is that the over/under on Matsui's real age?

What happened?
opiejeanne - June 30, 2010
Vladdy crushed another homer
TheKingfish - June 30, 2010
Dammit.
opiejeanne - June 30, 2010
Can someone tell me why we let him go?
bc56274 - June 30, 2010
We didn't know he'd lose like 30 pounds
and workout for the entire winter
TheKingfish - June 30, 2010
because he's 35, looks washed up and has suspect knees
…oh wait, that’s Matsui
Quad Fin Rider - June 30, 2010
EXACTLY..
b0rd3rline - June 30, 2010
Yeah, Reagins. Nice.
Robviously - June 30, 2010

tanana40 - June 30, 2010
"No pay for bunt"

Nothin' like playin' at home eh Vladdy?
K3YEROUT - June 30, 2010
victor rojas has a boner
i know this guy wears a ranger leotard under his suit

We Have MATSUI
We Have Matsui.
God Damn I’m Proud.
Dono Romantico - June 30, 2010
Thank God his splits are so bad!!
firebird81 - June 30, 2010
He IS playing at home after all!

So we are better than the Rangers
but not better than Vlad. I get it.

I don't know how I feel about being Vlad's bitch

WTF just happened in the last 5 min?
i went to take a quick shower after we finished 123 top of 7th inning
i come out of shower and score is 6-4
did we even bat?
dan73962 - June 30, 2010
well we were up
but we did not bat
Rev Halofan - June 30, 2010
Define "bat"
We stood up there with bats, yeah.
TheKingfish - June 30, 2010

I’ve heard of regressing to the mean, but disintegrating to it?

When hitters strike out we can say they got Kohn’d.

Nice job pitching to him
pitches down the middle of the plate with no movement is sure to not get Vlad out.

E6ybar
K3YEROUT - June 30, 2010
YOu piece of shit…that was an easy play!
K3YEROUT - June 30, 2010
…and you guys get on Wood for his defense? That was pathetic of Eybar!
K3YEROUT - June 30, 2010
We deserve this, because Vlad deserved better.
Clearly he can still hit outside of Arlington.
Halowood - June 30, 2010
Bullshit
Vlad would not be this motivated in an Angels uni. He could have done this in 09, but he was out of shape.
blochead - June 30, 2010
This
He was burned by 29 teams, so he worked out like a mofo
and the Rangers are reaping this reward.
TheKingfish - June 30, 2010
Exactly
Vlad would not be reproducing this production with the Angels right now. Simple as that.
linkbruin - June 30, 2010
but he would be reproducing
with Lackey’s leftover strikeforce girls
Rev Halofan - June 30, 2010
Plus he was unwilling to DH
until he had no other alternative. The Angels weren’t going to wait for him to make a decision.
blochead - June 30, 2010
It was a lose-lose-lose situation
linkbruin - June 30, 2010
I love Vlad and miss him, but I didn't expect him to hit THIS good.
He has found the fountain of youth (at least for this year) and is hitting like it’s 2006 Vlad
stolenbases - June 30, 2010
Basically what I am saying is the Rangers got lucky
They also got lucky with Colby Lewis.
stolenbases - June 30, 2010
But not Rich Harden
See there is a certain amount of luck involved.
blochead - June 30, 2010
True about Harden
They also got lucky with C.J. Wilson, but I think he will regress. Colby Lewis is for real this year though.
stolenbases - June 30, 2010
yep
we were pretty much screwed either way. it just so happened that him ending up with the rangers screwed us the most
ZiK - June 30, 2010
Aybar,
It’s legal to stop and make a good throw
Figgi4life - June 30, 2010 via mobile
Angels,
it’s legal to play good baseball
TheKingfish - June 30, 2010
Its also legal
to throw Vlad high fastballs
phoenix15 - June 30, 2010
SO glad we have Matsui.
This is such bullshit. Reagins needs to go.
Replace Vlad with gimpier Matsui, continue to let good relievers go while throwing ridiculous contracts at mediocre pitching, signing plenty of aging outfielders..
b0rd3rline - June 30, 2010
Yeah if I could go back in time, I would have resigned Vlad and Oliver
Let go of Shields and promoted Kohn and Thomspon immediately
Halowood - June 30, 2010
Shields has been pitching great lately.
b0rd3rline - June 30, 2010
Shields hindsight is 20/20 here
No one thought he would have returned so poorly.
linkbruin - June 30, 2010
so
no one expected Shields to start poorly after spending most of last year on the DL?
phoenix15 - June 30, 2010
Not this poorly
It was suspect, but no one knew. There was no reason to not let him have a shot
linkbruin - June 30, 2010
that is not what that statement means
it means that there was a chance it could go either way and looking back on a decision like that it is easy to say what the decision should have been
sctrojan13 - June 30, 2010
Thank you
Our FO doesn’t have the gift of hindsight that we do here.
linkbruin - June 30, 2010
haven't you heard
every other team’s GM does except ours
sctrojan13 - June 30, 2010
*re-signed
sorry, pet peeve.
TheKingfish - June 30, 2010
if we could go back in time to then, I'd sign Glaus
Quad Fin Rider - June 30, 2010
and not sign Fuentes
phoenix15 - June 30, 2010
Letting Glaus leave after 2004 was one of the all-time idiotic moves.
Vlad hit with no help for almost all of his best years in Anaheim.
Robviously - June 30, 2010
kRod II
i had almost two feet on the bandwagon.
wtf holmes
clover_black - June 30, 2010
Is Vlad going to hit 40+ homers this year?
stolenbases - June 30, 2010
no the texas heat will get to him
DAD OF VLAD - June 30, 2010
no, it wont.
clover_black - June 30, 2010
he's from the DR. The heat ain't gonna bug him
firebird81 - June 30, 2010
lotta road games for them
in the time they ordinarily wilt
Rev Halofan - June 30, 2010
Can we get pitchers
that don’t throw meatballs down the middle against Vlad? What do Angel pitchers have against throwing him high fastballs?
phoenix15 - June 30, 2010
snugge night 2.0?
DAD OF VLAD - June 30, 2010
Good night
can’t watch this guy stick it up anymore
grahams98 - June 30, 2010

ZOMG FIRE REAG1NS!
blochead - June 30, 2010
Haha, win.
Clutch - June 30, 2010
sarcasm noted
the fire tony reagins reactionary bandwagon after vlads bombs is funny.
its scary the intellect of people who actually believe in this GM though.
clover_black - June 30, 2010
It's been less than 2 years since he took the job
He has made some good trades and made bad ones. He has also had good signings and signed some duds.
It’s not like he is Dayton Moore.
blochead - June 30, 2010
Is Reagins doing a good job?
If we miss the playoffs this year, I think it’s a real discussion.
Robviously - June 30, 2010
It could be an after the year discussion in that hypo
It shouldn’t be one right now.
linkbruin - June 30, 2010
Yes.
But the Kazmir trade and letting Vlad go to bring in Matsui are killing us this year.
Hopefully we turn it around, and hopefully we made the most of the extra draft picks this year and last.
Robviously - June 30, 2010
reminds me of the OLD Angels moves...
Sign big name players past their prime for revenue.
firebird81 - June 30, 2010
Rodney also sucks
Reagins, Sosh, or whoever is making the player personnel decisions in regards to free agent signings isn’t doing a great job.
stolenbases - June 30, 2010
the only reason why someone signs Mastui
is for the postseason. He’s an average player in the regular season, but tears up the ball in the postseason where this team needs a lot of help. However, if the bullpen along with Saunders and Kazmir keep stinking it up, that won’t happen.
phoenix15 - June 30, 2010
I love
when people actually get it
sctrojan13 - June 30, 2010
Need to make the postseason first.
Robviously - June 30, 2010
I kinda wonder why this is
Is he saving himself? Does he only really get up for big games? Did he always just assume the Yankees would make the playoffs?
linkbruin - June 30, 2010
yea
with juicers surrounding him, who wouldn’t?
phoenix15 - June 30, 2010
Vlad 5 plus 1 run from Rangers to the Angels 4
stolenbases - June 30, 2010
Well... it sucks that it is likely a 2-game switch...
…but it’s pretty awesome with what Vlad is still doing. Can’t hate the guy…
RedFog - June 30, 2010
NO official word from Texass about Benjie deal...
K3YEROUT - June 30, 2010
really?
Several reports I’ve read have confirmed it
ryanfea - June 30, 2010

K3YEROUT - June 30, 2010
So Texas trying to sign ex Angels like the Ms did
although a lot of good that did
phoenix15 - June 30, 2010
The M's? No.
The Rangers? So far, yes.
Robviously - June 30, 2010
why would they do that?

I would love to see Q Pinch hit for a homerun!
angelskid2210 - June 30, 2010
got a better chance of Reggie hitting a HR, and I dont mean Mr. October
phoenix15 - June 30, 2010
I don't think it is humanly possible for him to hit one out
in a game.
angelskid2210 - June 30, 2010
i could see him hitting an inside the parker
ZiK - June 30, 2010
with Damon as the guy fielding the ball

TheKingfish - June 30, 2010
Exactly. Our best player was ranked like 50th in the world.
No chance.
angelskid2210 - June 30, 2010
That doesn't make sense

What's trolliing?
blochead - June 30, 2010
Trolling on shrooms
linkbruin - June 30, 2010
trolling but with gusto and an extra "i"
DAD OF VLAD - June 30, 2010
Should've added one more
You can never have too many
blochead - June 30, 2010
Bwahhahahaha
I think you’re being serious

And there's DOV.

you can’t repeatedly swing at the high stuff
sctrojan13 - June 30, 2010
the Rangers throw high pitches
why can’t the Halos?
phoenix15 - June 30, 2010
its a rule
lucky teams can’t throw high pitches
sctrojan13 - June 30, 2010
Well that was pointless.
Way to make him throw some pitches Reggie…
angelskid2210 - June 30, 2010
fireworks?
DAD OF VLAD - June 30, 2010
Just got home
Man Kazmir sucks. The guy needs to go. His arm is obviously not right. The last time the Angels had a starter this bad he pretty much kept the Angels out of the playoff by himself and his name was Jeff Weaver in 2006.
What scares me guys is do you realize that even before Kaz’s bad start today Weaver had the LOWER WHIP in 2006 than Kaz does in 2009 which is MORE pitcher friendly. I think after tonight their ERA + will be almost identical in the low 70’s.
How much more of his crap do we have to endure? Personally if I was Soth I’d tell him he’s going to start and that he’s only a 3-4 inning pitcher. Do go as hard as he can in those innings and see if that increases his fastball velocity at all. If it doesn’t, his arm is SHOT and you might as well release him.
MH252525 - June 30, 2010
I didn't read your comment but I'm pretty sure I know what it says
it looks like it should have been a fan post, it also would have been easier to ignore that way
RexTookMyStash - June 30, 2010
I'm guessing you two don't like each other
blochead - June 30, 2010
mh252525 is pretty much spot on
clover_black - June 30, 2010
Kazmir is done.
and the guy we traded for him, Alex Torres, is tearing up AA right now.
angelskid2210 - June 30, 2010
Let’s just trade Q for Oswalt and have this problem be over with
phoenix15 - June 30, 2010
Lol.
angelskid2210 - June 30, 2010
We can also thrown in Kazmir so he can play closer to home
stolenbases - June 30, 2010
its AA
who cares
sctrojan13 - June 30, 2010
Guys in High A?
linkbruin - June 30, 2010
I heard this one guy Brandon Wood is awesome in AAA
TheKingfish - June 30, 2010
yeah, but there was this dude at Salt Lake named Robb Quinlan who was even better
Quad Fin Rider - June 30, 2010
you mean the future HOF?
blind optimism, not sarcasm
sctrojan13 - June 30, 2010
You should have told Reagins this was coming
blochead - June 30, 2010
Not to REALLY bum everyone out but....
….we were supposed to have a great young pitcher in the rotation this year named Nick Adenhart. Unfortunately, the worst tragedy in Angels history had to happen. So we lost a great young player and our system doesn’t have anyone close to being ready (because they weren’t supposed to need to have anyone for us).
Robviously - June 30, 2010
Sadly, this is the case
TheKingfish - June 30, 2010
in Blazing Saddles it was "Reverend"
in HH it is “R’obviously”
K3YEROUT - June 30, 2010
yea
if it wasn’t for some drunk, Adenhart would be the 5th starter and S-Rod will be on the bench or on the field.
phoenix15 - June 30, 2010
yea that's a great point however
at this point I don’t think Bell or SOS could do much worse than Kaz. We know what we are going to get with Kaz…..
MH252525 - June 30, 2010
so if the Halos lose this year
we can blame the dumb drunk for ruining the Angels
phoenix15 - June 30, 2010
Sorta.
It feels crass to look at the baseball effects of the Adenhart tragedy, but I did immediately think that it really screwed the team over. We were really counting on him, and some scouting reports had him as our no.1 starter eventually.
Robviously - June 30, 2010
Aybar's

Finally back from the midwest, able to watch my Halos again. Lets do this!

No shit.
I regret trying to get back to Cali so soon. ;)

Hey Aybar
we’re playing baseball not grabass

Are you screaming at your dog or the player?
Or is there a difference?
angelskid2210 - June 30, 2010
His dog is smarter

since it's 3 minutes to 12 here in Texas
I’m about to use my July F-Bomb before I ought to.
HoustonHaloFan - June 30, 2010
I do not like Vlad Guerrero
UCIHalo - June 30, 2010
I love Vlad Guerrero
I do not like Vlad Guerrero the Ranger
TheKingfish - June 30, 2010
i named my son after him
ditto kingfish
DAD OF VLAD - June 30, 2010
Liar.
You said he was named after another Vlad. It used to be in your signature.
And yes, the only reason I know this is because you so annoyingly replied to every single thing anybody ever said during spring training to run your comment count up..
b0rd3rline - June 30, 2010
People count those things?
linkbruin - June 30, 2010
i said that to cover the lie to my wife
and are you stalking me? do you know where i leave and my car that i drive?
DAD OF VLAD - June 30, 2010
No, that's Inkara
TheKingfish - June 30, 2010
rev's got him
i got borderline
DAD OF VLAD - June 30, 2010
I know nothing about you DOV.
Except that you’re incessantly annoying. I was just making an observation, since I had to stare at your annoying posts day after day in spring training.
And no, I have no idea where you leave, in fact, I’m not even sure what you’re leaving or why it is that you are leaving it..
b0rd3rline - June 30, 2010
that is good to know
i am married and with kids
DAD OF VLAD - June 30, 2010
God bless their souls..
b0rd3rline - June 30, 2010
What happened to our great minor league system
3 years ago it was rated the best now it sucks?
DAD OF VLAD - June 30, 2010
Funny thing about saying "3 years ago"
That was 3 years ago. People were promoted, some were traded, etc.
TheKingfish - June 30, 2010
The guy killing Adenhart
depleted the farm system
phoenix15 - June 30, 2010
sad but true
DAD OF VLAD - June 30, 2010
He was our no.1 prospect.
Robviously - June 30, 2010
i know things happened but
how so quick?
DAD OF VLAD - June 30, 2010
Adenhart was killed
SRod/Torres traded
Few people made the big league club
And the Angels lost out on restocking the pool a lot due to the numerous FA signings.
TheKingfish - June 30, 2010
Wood bombed.
Can’t overstate how important that was. He’s not even an OK major league player and he was our other top prospect (with Adenhart).
Robviously - June 30, 2010
That too
TheKingfish - June 30, 2010
Wouldn't know...he is back to sitting on the bench...just like the last couple years...
management f’ing him up again!
K3YEROUT - June 30, 2010
and a lot of risks that didn't work out in the draft
if the Angels had Harvey, Cone, and Matsuz or however you spell it things would be looking a lot better
MH252525 - June 30, 2010
we'll trade Conger in two weeks
and call it a decade
Rev Halofan - June 30, 2010
god no
he is the Korean HOPE
DAD OF VLAD - June 30, 2010
It does?
I actually thought it was over-rated a few years ago but is getting a lot better now.
Robviously - June 30, 2010
We're watching some of them play right now
linkbruin - June 30, 2010
KMo ended his own season...
K3YEROUT - June 30, 2010
Director of Player Development went on to destroy something more significant
clover_black - June 30, 2010
kotchman?
DAD OF VLAD - June 30, 2010
The well is dry
It seems like Morales and Weaver are the only ones that have turned out to be All-Star quality. Maybe Napoli could join the list if he gets enough PA’s. Saunders was an All-Star, but he’s really just a 4th starter. Aybar and Kendrick are average. Mathis stinks.
stolenbases - June 30, 2010
So, at least 2 runs off Feliz? This one's in the bag.
~MMP~ - June 30, 2010
no prob
we got Spezio’s 3 run HR due up anytime
phoenix15 - June 30, 2010
it is the 6th inning?
DAD OF VLAD - June 30, 2010
then Salmon’s 2 run HR?
phoenix15 - June 30, 2010
GA is gonna clear the bases with a double
ryanfea - June 30, 2010
and then percey
comes in to close
the great old days
DAD OF VLAD - June 30, 2010
;o
i had a nap mid-this game and dreamt salmon was playing left field and batting sixth
ANewFoundThrice - June 30, 2010
Left?
TheKingfish - June 30, 2010
It was one hell of a nap I guess
ryanfea - June 30, 2010
Bat 6th?
Who was batting 3rd?
phoenix15 - June 30, 2010
pull out the world serise dvd
DAD OF VLAD - June 30, 2010
I hope so, there's gotta be a reason why I'm still watching this shit
Quad Fin Rider - June 30, 2010
Still trying to figure out what happened with Kaz
He was cruisin’ and then just forgot how to pitch in the 4th
red floyd - June 30, 2010
He remembered he was Kaz and not Weave
TheKingfish - June 30, 2010
he was told that
imitating other pitchers wasn’t very nice
phoenix15 - June 30, 2010
He Kaz'd it
linkbruin - June 30, 2010
yeah, honestly I dont think he was doing too bad
hittin the corners and making the batters swing.
his head just exploded in the 4th. take out that inning and its a 4-2 angel lead
clover_black - June 30, 2010
Doesn’t it seem that its always
1 inning that screws Kaz over? He always loses it in 1 inning, but its too late.
phoenix15 - June 30, 2010
It's better than him losing it in 2?
linkbruin - June 30, 2010
howie with the glove
now show us some bat and get us started!
ZiK - June 30, 2010
Dude! Why didn't we resign Vlad!??
Come one. Who’s with me on this?
RexTookMyStash - June 30, 2010
this is a fascinating thought
and i’m surprised that it has not yet been brought up today
ZiK - June 30, 2010
Just about everyone.
Bah.
HoustonHaloFan - June 30, 2010
No one expected this kind of year
Might as well also ask why we didn’t resign Washburn and Glaus
phoenix15 - June 30, 2010
at the time it didn't make any sense
who would of thought he would have made is big of a comeback.
UCIHalo - June 30, 2010
you don't bet against franchise players like that
at least make an effort to ensure HOFr retires as an angel… it would have been worth a down year.
clover_black - June 30, 2010
^^^^^^^this^^^^^^^^
b0rd3rline - June 30, 2010
Agree
It seems that 29 other teams and various projection systems didn’t think Vlad would have this type of year too. The Rangers basically won the lotto with Vlad.
stolenbases - June 30, 2010
i was for it
i had just got a Vlad shirt that winter wanted to wear it out
DAD OF VLAD - June 30, 2010
maybe
another couple of pitchers were needed instead. Pinerio was a decent signing, but Kazmir, the most inconsistent guy on the rotation next to Saunders
phoenix15 - June 30, 2010
At least Saunders pitches well occasionally...Kaz just sucks!
K3YEROUT - June 30, 2010
seems like a valid reason to re-sign someone
UCIHalo - June 30, 2010
ROFL
blochead - June 30, 2010
They should also fire the GM
amirite?
blochead - June 30, 2010
Yeah, and mike scioscia
I don’t think a lot people got my sarcasm
RexTookMyStash - June 30, 2010
haha i was suprised
how many people didnt get it
sctrojan13 - June 30, 2010
hey isn't past your bed time
RexTookMyStash - June 30, 2010
thats up to you
sctrojan13 - June 30, 2010
I love how everybody is blaming Reagins tonight about Kaz and Vlad
and I got shelled for saying that a month ago….losers.
DM_RMBRS '95 - June 30, 2010
fo sho!
the newds need to get off the tony reagins hate train
clover_black - June 30, 2010
Oh man, you're always right
You should make a fanpost about how you’re always right.
linkbruin - June 30, 2010
next why don’t u tell us
whose gonna replace Kazmir?
Oh wait
phoenix15 - June 30, 2010
Good for you!
wow!
Robviously - June 30, 2010
another boneheaded sarcastic comment
you guys are like the middle and h.s freshman I teach.

that 7th grade sarcasm

DM_RMBRS '95 - June 30, 2010
I think you'd have more friends on the lone star ball boards buddy
You aren’t impressing anyone with your end of game snipes….loser
RexTookMyStash - June 30, 2010
i don't blame Reagins. I was all for it
UCIHalo - June 30, 2010
great minds think alike
clover_black - June 30, 2010
So do poor minds.
Robviously - June 30, 2010
so why did you think he had an ERA of almost 6 when the Angels got him?
just wondering
MH252525 - June 30, 2010
matsui
3 run walkoff shot =]
sctrojan13 - June 30, 2010
f*** me for saying that
sctrojan13 - June 30, 2010

linkbruin - June 30, 2010
Only works
in the playoffs silly.
phoenix15 - June 30, 2010
The way a GM shows that he is bad
when roughly the same amount is being spent but your talent pool is at a a drop off
DM_RMBRS '95 - June 30, 2010
disagree
the same amount is being spent but these are the years were we are getting absolutely NOTHING from Stonemans horrible decisions. I think Reagins is slightly better than Stoneman, but I think they are both below average GM’s
MH252525 - June 30, 2010
that is true. Stoneman was awful
lousy signings
DM_RMBRS '95 - June 30, 2010
i dont want to trade stoneman
please
DAD OF VLAD - June 30, 2010
He better hit a 2-run HR here
blochead - June 30, 2010
This game was an abortion

DAD OF VLAD - June 30, 2010
I'd also love to see more from the people saying that Matsui
is a killer postseason player…he had a great series last year against Philly…but after A-Rod finally set up the table for him by finally being clutch. Hideki was in NYY for how many years and won how many WS titles until A-Rod finally got clutch and Texiera came into town.
DM_RMBRS '95 - June 30, 2010
playoffs
we need to think about .500 first and staying there
DAD OF VLAD - June 30, 2010
we are 8 games over
with no signs of turning back….
sctrojan13 - June 30, 2010
same thought process
that Kaz is a boston / NYY killer.
holds absolutely no truth.
clover_black - June 30, 2010
I'd like to hear from more people who can't stand you
might run out of server space though
RexTookMyStash - June 30, 2010
I think this "clutch" argument about Matsui performing in the playoffs is insane
Ugh….It’s still a small sample size. Plus you have to get to the playoffs first. I would like to think that our GM is a bit more rational. You never know though.
stolenbases - June 30, 2010
I'm gonna go give myself a stRanger
linkbruin - June 30, 2010
Don't hurt yourself
blochead - June 30, 2010
I have problems believing this is a real thing
linkbruin - June 30, 2010
At least I don't live in Texas
ryanfea - June 30, 2010
Glad I don't live in California anymore.
That said, screw the Arlington Rangers of Dallas and sometimes Fort Worth.
HoustonHaloFan - June 30, 2010
Awful awful awful
I can’t believe it’ll last, but the Halos aren’t good right now.
Enjoy the sheep-screwing in Grand Prairie tonight hayseeds.
HoustonHaloFan - June 30, 2010
this "turn" the page idea
is getting tired..
DM_RMBRS '95 - June 30, 2010
youre right...
its time to close the book on the season.
dr-awkward - June 30, 2010
Did you get locked out of your World of Warcraft account?
I’m trying to figure out why you’re torturing us after a loss.
RexTookMyStash - June 30, 2010
Haters gonna hate
blochead - June 30, 2010
I had a roommate who played for 16+ hours a day....everyday....
linkbruin - June 30, 2010
Are you sure it wasn't DM_RMBRS '95?
blochead - June 30, 2010
you can't make it this easy on me man
sctrojan13 - June 30, 2010
the fact that the fans are so blind to the problems of our team
is truly unbelievable..but the fact that you guys fight so adamant against the idea is worse…its like dodger fans
DM_RMBRS '95 - June 30, 2010
Hahahahahahaha
There’s so much negativity in the game threads. There’s no way to avoid it. The team has problems yes. You coming in here saying you knew it all along with some unearned sense of entitlement is entirely another.
linkbruin - June 30, 2010
First of all, this must be a reply fail because it makes zero sense here
Secondly, no one is saying the team doesn’t have faults, we are just saying your annoying bitching after we lose and saying the team will go nowhere literally adds nothing to the conversation.
And finally, we fight adamantly, didn’t you say that you are a teacher?
sctrojan13 - June 30, 2010
Cocaine's a hell of a drug
blochead - June 30, 2010
I'm Rick James bitch
linkbruin - June 30, 2010
uh huh
you really are a teenager huh? Why am I coming here during a loss? Because when we win, the organization is feeling like everything is ok and nobody listens…it just hides the faults. Even if we make the playoffs, there is no chance in hell we are winning anything. This team has no true scary bat, just many complimentary players. Matsui never carried an offense in his career, so why would he now? Our pitching staff has no true proven ace yet. Weaver is pitching amazing, but the jury over a whole season and in the playoffs is still out. Our bullpen is crap.
DM_RMBRS '95 - June 30, 2010
duuuude I know your alternate id
it’s desecrator_09 right?
sctrojan13 - June 30, 2010
until fans actually show some passion
and put some heat on the organization…they wont fix any problems and just continue to roll out the MLB’s version of the Dallas Mavericks
DM_RMBRS '95 - June 30, 2010
you mean the Clippers?
DAD OF VLAD - June 30, 2010
The Angels are neither the Mavericks nor the Clippers
Because they’ve actually won something
linkbruin - June 30, 2010
we are the yankees of baseball
DAD OF VLAD - June 30, 2010
in 2002
we are still stuck on that? 8 years ago?
DM_RMBRS '95 - June 30, 2010
Umm
Since it is our 1 title…yes. It was a bad analogy since the Mavs nor the Clips have ever won ANYTHING.
linkbruin - June 30, 2010
yes
2002 forever
DAD OF VLAD - June 30, 2010
how does that not show a defeatest feeling?
we are fine…we won 8 years ago.
DM_RMBRS '95 - June 30, 2010
I'm having problems with you saying you're a teacher
Poor reading comprehension and poor spelling. I know they go to town on these things in M.Ed programs, so I’m not sure what’s wrong here.
linkbruin - June 30, 2010
and your defeated comments serve to improve the situation how?
dr-awkward - June 30, 2010
Guess what?
No one gives a shit
blochead - June 30, 2010
which is why our team wont win anything anytime soon..no fan pressure
because you dont give a shit
DM_RMBRS '95 - June 30, 2010
you are nothing but a troll in sheep's clothing
so please leave
sctrojan13 - June 30, 2010
uh huh
i love the Angels too much to see them fail…but you could care less
DM_RMBRS '95 - June 30, 2010
Maybe you should call Arte and tell him all about it
or better yet
just buy the team!
blochead - June 30, 2010
+1
DAD OF VLAD - June 30, 2010
We give a shit
just not about defeatist posters who only appear after a tough loss in a game we all had an emotional investment in.
*muah
RexTookMyStash - June 30, 2010
you guys care?? you guys are the definition of bandwagon some of you
read a Game Thread back to yourself…its all highs and lows.
DM_RMBRS '95 - June 30, 2010
Wait
People respond with emotional highs and lows to the highs and lows of the game? What?
linkbruin - June 30, 2010
That's just crazy talk
What’s the definition of “fan” again?
HoustonHaloFan - June 30, 2010
Thats how all passionate fans react
ryanfea - June 30, 2010
can i be a low
i dont do drugs
DAD OF VLAD - June 30, 2010
tl;dr
RexTookMyStash - June 30, 2010
This is bold ....Angels will lead the division at the all - star break .
Ed@northridge - June 30, 2010
If by bold you mean high
Then I agree.
HoustonHaloFan - June 30, 2010
that statement
makes a ton of sense
sctrojan13 - June 30, 2010
Will Karmis still be in the rotation?
blochead - June 30, 2010
I can see how this is going to set up
Vlad has a monster year, wins the comeback player of the year award, is the running for the MVP, makes the playoffs, but disappoints. The Rangers happy sticking it to the Angels award Vlad with a 4/60 contract. Vlad has another decent year then craps out turns into a injury prone double play machine.
UCIHalo - June 30, 2010
Then vlad retires as a ranger in the HOF
yeah, woohoo, we won.
thats how we treat franchise players.
clover_black - June 30, 2010
wow someone actually said this
when i said it in my sarcastic rant i thought i was taking it further than anyone else would
sctrojan13 - June 30, 2010
nothing far fetched about that one.
and it wouldn’t be the first time the angels FO screwed themselves out of seeing their logo in the HOF
clover_black - June 30, 2010
So is Texas where Angel HOFs go to retire?
linkbruin - June 30, 2010
Apparently
Because the Angels hate franchise players and would rather have them retire with the Rangers.
It had nothing to do with the fact that Vlad was unwilling to DH and take less money.
blochead - June 30, 2010
Give vlad the money.
Let him hobble into the HOF as an angel.
clover_black - June 30, 2010
Unfortunately for the Rangers and Angels Vlad will likely go in the HOF as an Expo.
stolenbases - June 30, 2010
Most likely.
clover_black - June 30, 2010
No way
The playoff appearances and MVP sway him towards an Angel HOF
ryanfea - June 30, 2010
yes, yes it is far fetched
even if he does retire as a Ranger which is unlikely, what do you think it would take for that to actually happen for Vladdy stat wise
sctrojan13 - June 30, 2010
Kazmir gets traded to Houston and wins 20 games next year
Fans complain that we gave up on him too soon.
stolenbases - June 30, 2010
Howie for getting picked off 2b in first...
total blunder. Andrus had just gone out to mound.
K3YEROUT - June 30, 2010
It seems like an Angel is getting picked off every other game
This nonsense has to stop if the Angels want to win the division. The Angels are giving up way too many easy outs with their stupid base running.
stolenbases - June 30, 2010
Can Texas just fucking secede already?
To bump up the collective U.S. IQ by 10-15 points if for no other reason.
dr-awkward - June 30, 2010
I laughed
And not with you, but at you.
Mind if I call you MoMo?
HoustonHaloFan - June 30, 2010
touchy huh?
dr-awkward - June 30, 2010
some people on here need to take a chill pill........
a win tomorrow…….and the Halos come out of this series better than it came in..
And have to say……….I like their chances with who they have going tomorrow.
