John Wooden...

greatest college coach…. greater human being.

This.

Great human being. But he’s been sick lately, so It’d be selfish to want him to keep on living like that.

Indeed.

Possibly the greatest coach ever, his off-court accomplishments far exceeded those on-court.

keep it going offense...........
Okay, Halos, add another 4 runs

… to be ready for Fuentes coming in later

go matsuiiii
....and jepson/rodney/shields

so…four more on top of that!

Go Halos
how the hell did that echo happen?
I blame Auto-Tune.
Wasn't there an article in the Register a while back

about Sosh meeting with Wooden? And Sosh seemed in awe of him and his career. Or maybe I just dreamt it. lol

It's a chapter in "Tales from the Angels Dugout"

So I’d guess if it was in the OCR, Bisheff wrote it.

Yes, I do believe in was in his column

But I’m going by my memory, which can be dangerous to… to… um, what were we talking about?

Snell sucks.

He should have been knocked out of the game by now.

is it me

or does Gubizca sound different? His voice sounds different tonight.

lol

Mark Langston is on commentary not Gubi

yeah...Gubi sounds not sucky tonight
what are you talking about?

he sounds completely normal.

ahh

thanks, didn’t know that. Just got back from SD

Rally Gnomes!
they ditched us
naw

they just haven’t cleared customs yet. Thankfully we still have the Rally Monkey!

I want to see the Garden Gnome dudes at the Big A again
good game from godzilla

working the BB

nice ab, Stan
I am curious about something..

has anyone seen a batter so “armored up” as Barry Bonds since he retired? I don’t think that I have seen a batter wear as much protection as he used to.

Not since Iron Man and War Machine were playing
Ozzy Osbourne played ball????
naw

that would be Zak Wylde. Ozzy was too busy biting off bat heads

Nap homer
instead

his patented rally-kill

Tinker to Evers to Chance
nice one Naps

crap

Coors commercials remind me of the Beef commercials

Coor’s…it’s what’s for dinner

short leash time
thank you board game
bored game?
board game = Milton Bradley

…i think.

Chupa's DH tonite?
now Juancho making a catch..

that’s a gift

Hokie Joe loves Safeco.
Boss... da train, da train!!!!
nice..

I can see Harve greeting the passengers…

corinthian leather!
What? George Hamilton? Where?
George Hamilton? huh?
Speaking of which....

Mr. Roarke… Brian, you have a smudge under your nose!

Fuentes: No boss… Is a mustache!

finish this guy, Joe
He did. The ump didn't call it.
the bastard!
east coast

officiating at it’s best

very small zone
oh look, the umpire is taking over the game
dam almost looked like joe west
that last pitch should have been a strike
BS ump. The 4th pitch to Wilson was strike 3.
Thought you guys

might like a laugh…….Ladybug just called and said the graduation went well. One slight hitch…….her & her girlfriend had to run through a downpour to get into the building and were completely soaked!!!! LOL She said they looked like they just got out of the shower…..see what you go through for your kids!?!?!?

she must have had a great example
uhhhh

what do you mean? huh?? and she did live in Seattle so she’s used to those sudden showers….at least she used to be….I think it’s funny….they had to go early to get the graduate there and everybody else arrived at 7 for the ceremony bone dry because it stopped as quickly as it started… :))

I mean doing whatever you need to for your kids

that example

oh...but of course...

sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice!!!

sounds like here in seattle
Saundo

job well done

Colonel pitch count?
95
Think he'll start the 7th?
the wayl the arson squad is going I say yes
looks like a no
if they go with F-Rod 2

im ok with it

Damn.... Victor's saying he's probably done

And based on the activity in the dugout it looks that way

Yes. That's the Way of the Soth: push the starter.
95 (thanks to the blown calls by the ump)
the MLB ump's are shameless

there have been so many bad calls over the last 2 – 3 seasons that it is impossible to keep track. Something has to be done.

screw the last 2 seasons...

more than enough in the last month or so to make a strong case

yeah I agree

I feel really sorry for Gallerags, he pitched a hell of a game, just to have it taken away by a f***d up call by a dumb a** ump.

Come to the forest

where poisonous bugs and snakes are waiting to get you!

Joe done, Snell having career outing.
Juancho!!!!!!
he hit it into the Q vortex
GOODBYE BASEBALL!!!

Juan Rivera!!!!

the Mighty Juancho !
juarning track HR
**********************HOMERUN************Juan Rivera!******************************

You hang it I’ll bang it. LOL

he crushed that!
Q sighting
booooooooooo!
Call Jean-Luc Picard!!!
Chad Cordero

CSFß

damn droid fingers fail
why is Q pinch-running?
He brought extra lasagna to the clubhouse
Juanderful

followed by Ryan……….whoo offense

nice up the middle for Ryan

Enter the Q

Best Q line

[to Sisko]: You hit me!! Picard never hit me!!!

What?!?! Fred Flinstone is faster than Ryan?
c'mon Juancho

show us how it’s done

thats kinda perplexing.
what is?
Q running for Ryan
pinch running as a defensive replacement...

Go figure

Q kept saying, "Can I go in, Can I can I can I?"

Until Soth said, “OK, just shut up!!!”

More Franny, let's not wear out Mice-tits, you know how delicate they are.
I'm getting the feeling, that everything is slightly delayed here
Speed of light delay
nah you're just watching Q run
lol

second coming of Benjie M

ryan woulda scored...
Ryan would have scored on that
Q cost Izzy a Ribby

great PR decision

Wouldn't a faster runner have scored?
faster runner, smarter runner, etc etc
Hell... MATSUI would have scored.
I was just about to post that

U mean out @ plate… ;)

If Ryan wasn't hurt, the pinch-running move was idiocy
Role call

Q thougth Ichiro would catch it

and Ichiro thought it was gone
Itchy didn't even go after the ball
cordeo is a fat ass
anyway... nice smack Izzy

i thought that was gone @ first glance. he’s driving the ball deep

woohoo howie
Howie DUB !

Q finally scored

OK, Q and Gazoo score.

HK47 picks up Izzy after Q’s brainfart

Don't you love the silence

of the crowd??? Angels Baseball!!!!!

GOOD!!!!!

Need those runs. Way to go HK!

HOWIE DOUBLES
I hate to be too redundant..

 but I am really, really digging Langston. He is so much better than Gubi

you are being redundant

and you’re right

I agree

I am enjoying listening to Victoria and Langston….they make a good team.

ooooops...Victor....LOL
LOL

Freudian slip? ;)

Victoria Rojas

is one hell of an announcer

jejeje she has kind

of a deep voice.

as long as you're not uclahy redundant
and somewhere...

UCLAHY dies a lil more inside

corder pitching like our blopen
Still not bullpen proof.

Need at least 4 more

I think that the Halos are OK with a 6 run lead

as long as Fuentes isn’t on the mound

Biggsy talked today about how they have to go with Rodney to close

Let Fuentes be the LH Reliever
Everybody thinks that but Soth I guess

heard that too

we all know Sosh… very loyal to the players. its a double-edged sword.

Rodney hasn't impressed me

he has sucked as much as any of them

Rodney has a walk problem

But when he has been allowed to close he has been dominant

THIS

you beat me to it. weird mental thing. like when shields would be called on to close. i dont have the #s to back up but i never recall shieldsy looking good closing out games in his opps

Hey, it's Chad Cordero

I used to really like this kid’s arm. Doesn’t look like he has any arm left though.

So with Juancho in RF, is Chupa DH?
Damn... my shoulder hurts
k3yerout Abrew
Time for Hula Dula to be the Mariner Rula!!!
Is it time for Francisco Rodriguez Part 2?
F-Rod II time
Mean ass "cutter" baby

This is the guy we need coming in the 8th before Rodney

He still hasn't learned... He eats Jack's face every time.

BTW, whatever happened to Phil? Haven’t seen him on JitB commercials recently.

that's ok tho, Jack wasn't even paying him enough to afford a car
Maybe he had a company car
STFD Alfonso
helluva game for the Colonel.........

even if it was against a craptastic offense.

A BP guy who throws strikes!

What will they think of next?

Are BP guys allowed to do that?

I don’t think so, otherwise the rest of them would too

he's new

give Butcher time

Just got home a bit ago...who is announcing this game?
Rojas/Langston
Ahhh. Langston must not have much experience.
hell of lot better than Gubi
Nice. Just a one-night gig for Langston?
for the entire Seattle series
Victor Rojas and Mark Langston
Juan's HR

was his 500th hit as an Angel.

cool

a lot of record hits & HR’s so far this year for quite a few of our players.

What I like about Juan Gone

when he hits it out, he hits it waaay out

chicking in... Who is doing the broadcast with Rojas tonight?
nvm above me contains the answer
Quentin, flying out to center
nice typo

CHICKING

being like Chick

faked him out of the popcorn machine

thats not a typo........ jk
is that a Freudian slip??
STFD Pancreas dude
Can't touch this!!

THREE swinging strikes on the fastball.

K-Rod 2 is LIGHTS OUT!!!
Francisco Rodriguez

what a baller

Can they stretch this guy out ...and put him in the rotation?
1-2-3

sitting em down F-rod deux

Francisco Rodriguez

THE MOTHERFUCKING ANSWER

He is nice...

and Soth likes him they say

all ive seen from this guy in the bigs is domination

so refreshing.

That freaking cutter of his reminds me of K-Rod's sinker

but it’s not as freaky and wild a pitch

where my bitches at?

go angels

K-Rod ......Part 2! Starring...

Francisco Rodriguez.

creepy commerical
creepy show

and boring

which commercial

they are blacked out on mlb.tv

not as good as Ice Road Truckers
I am really liking this guy. Oh and I don't know that he is K-Rod II as he isn't walking people like K Rod I did.
how many hits so far?
7
8 now
great stay at 8
I want 3 more. But as long as we win.
Let me guess... pregame was total Halos Hits
yes
DOV picked 2000 hits for 10 points
hahaha and what did you do?
it was either 10 or 12

I forgot…
Didn’t bet much—like 15-1 odds or something

close i had 8 for 2000
I bet 30000000000000000000000000000000000
you dont have thoughs points
maybe soon

44FAN is getting close

7
now 8 lol
for some reason i picked 12
very possible. That is what I was leaning to but then I said im usually wrong let me just go down one.

not sure if it makes sense but it did at the time lol

Stan with a hit up the middle!!!
Godzilla going good
Godzilla!

3 for 3..

Stan is having a great game
Reggie in for Stan
What would you pay Langston per hour to work w/your kid?
My brother paid Clyde Wright to work with his jid

wasn’t as pricey as you would think

he's reached base 10 consecutive times ?

impressive

Stanzilla is starting to warm up, baby

watch out Tokyo!! (or at least Boston…)

hwo is the family
ah.....well....no one said it would ever be easy, bro

I really wish that they hadn’t invented facebook and texting these days

What is this? I could care less about texting but do like having facebook even if I am not on it a ton.
It's caused a war in this house

I’m gonna have to go total Raaddad on these people and kick some ass

do it

facebook sucks

ha im sorry. Maybe you could tell me about what up when we meet for lunch.

I take it they are hooked and are none stop texting and such? Maybe set some guidelines like no texting when you are eating together and such? I know some who have done that though it is sad that it comes to that and they don’t just not text at that time.

or just slap the kid

and take the phone away

You would know lol
Good one--except his wife hits him
i told my daughter

she gets a phone when she needs one
1) car
2) job

ye but he needs it with our busy freakin drive all over the freakin place LA life
get him a pager

but he may start selling drugs

He may not know what that is
We got our daughter a prepaid when she went to travel camp

You know… summer day camp where all they do is field trips… beach, zoo, Disney, etc…

yea, we do that

it’s different in the summer—not at school

it's the mother who really pisses me off

unfortunately

wow she addicted to texting to? Wow there is an problem lol
no she's just a pyscho soccer mon who likes to ell
You youngsters are all addicted to the shit man

It’s like techno-crack—you can’t stop talkin

News to me.

No really I Don’t text cause id rather talk. And I am rarely on FB. However im on the computer a lot.

Yeah, but HH is different ... it doesn't count as nerdiness
No More Hits
I'm hoping they change one hit to an error!
bud selig is thinking about it
we only Ked one
time as of now
M's fans were voting in full force tonight
I take it that both Fox Sports networks are using the same questions and polling infor
apparently

even though you really couldnt go wrong with any choice… 95 % for Junior and 0 % for Mantle is pretty crazy

Q's batting stance is funny
his swing is goofy
"I'm Robb Quinlan, I'm a major league baseball player"
"and you're not."
Mantle 0%??

what a bunch of yahoos

Mantle & Mays 0%???
like 6 people vote in the fox sports poll
1st Q hit! 1st Q hit! 1st Q hit! C'mon dude
Anyone else think Q
's stance is horrible
ah.....will ever get another hit?
wow

that is the first time in a really long time that I have heard genuine laughter in the Halos broadcast booth. I am so sold on Victor and Langston.

yeah langston is doing a great job
They tried him out in the 2002 postseason

and offered him a job. He didn’t want it. What a shame!

seriously?

damn. you know if he gave them a reason?

spend time w/ his family
l a m e

kidding.

not really.

Yeah, right. Like nerd-boy will beat biker-dude at arm wrestling
13 ABs.......................

……nothin’ but zeros.

Those aren't 0s

They’re Qs

here is hoping for a 3 up 3 down 9th for the angels
let's get through the 8th first
i dont want the angels to get hits
Get a clue dude.

Panther points ALWAYS come second to the Halos winning

as far as i know the Angels are beating the AAAA team from Seattle
yeah, but our bullpen is pitching
i trust them
Then you're the only one :-P
You mean the espn preseason AL west champs
hahahhahahahahahaha--

B & S hits it out

keep foot on gas pedal
I want a 3 up 3 down 8th first
Role call

How we doin?

Q sucks
geebus!

you’re the twin who finds the shit under the pony

We need 4 more runs
totally f'n awesome.
Go Falcons!
random factor

10

That went over my head. . .
falcons seem a little non sequitur
Bell went to my high school

Crescenta Valley Falcons.

oh...

CV never entered my mind there

dam twins blew lead
The Bell strikes (out) again!
Swing and a miss on a mid-90s heater.
wow Langston's pretty high on Bell isnt he
wasnt langston his mentor last year?
not a bad teacher to have
Aloha everybody

whats with the ol switcheroo in the corner outfield spots today?

why is tomorrow's game tape delayed on TV?

How dumb.

Can't air any games during national broadcast slot.
why is that a national broadcast slot? We have had early games many times on saturdays before shouldn't be an issue i wouldn't think but ok.
google

would explain it

Fox national broadcast

I don’t know why they scheduled the game for that time.

ok I understand that. its stupid but I get it
What I have never heard of such a thing that is stupids
the world is full of things

that you have not heard of.

Where did you hear that?
I haven't heard that one before
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio

Than are dreamt of in your philosophies

One of my favorite Shakespeare quotes!
it's also full of stupid things
wow and i will be out in the afternoon

and not here to police posting of pirate links during the game

hmmm. yar matey
i will do it

i have the ability to ban remember

no you don't

and are you so stupid that you don’t get what i meant?

the wink wink nudge nudge

sails over DoVs head.

i got it dont worry
isn't that ..

the power to be banned?

I see what you did there
DOV

if you are trying to be funny, that is one thin, but if you are trying to be disruptive that is not cool at all.

I thought it was funny and meant to be
it went over my head

but a lot does

but dont you live on the moon?
pretty f'ing close
canada?
Thailand
is the shit still crazy there?
nah

back to the land of smiles

and whores

David Carradine Auto-eractic-choking yourself too?

my wife always cuts me down

and be careful, the “whores” bring the smiles

Then as long as he's not on farside, everything on Earth would be over his head
You're a garden gnome?????
if so can you stand outside my place?
I got held up in customs
lost in the sea of cheese?
i am funny

i dont have one serious bone in my body

check the last two IP's

they have to be the same guy. But I envy the speed that he can log out/in/out/in with.

me too

I though Baby Vlad was doing it all

You try to be funny you mean.

And I am not sure where anything was wrong with the last comment but yea I got it.

Why the hell would they tape delay. Is it 1983 all of sudden!
No, they think it's the Olympics
3 more hits plz
I already lost... guessed 6
That is what I wanted
way to deal Bell

the teacher is proud

Darn we are not getting more hits oh well though
Who had 8?
me

20 grand--nice--you're catchin me
and Los Angles of Anaminh?
I remember debating between 8 and 12, I dont remember what I picked.

i didn't :(

i think i said 11

Who pitches the 9th?
Yeah yeah I know...

Today’s pitching. Who’s on first.

Shields for the 9th?
Nope. Bell goes 2.

Today’s game would have been brought to you by General Motors.
