who is the last player/manager you guys can remember. I was a kid in the 80’s when I know Pete Rose did it for awhile right? Was he the last one to do it? And was it common in earlier times?
I think what saved him (so far anyway) is that his car spun in the air
and the back end hit the pillar. If he was ejected, it was on very soft ground and he didn’t lose momentum….if he slammed to a stop, his brain would be scrambled
is that after last seasons ALDS and his performance before he was hurt, I was pretty jazzed about him. Now, whatever it is that he had, is gone, and he sucks.
It’s like when fans blame Scioscia for every mistake on the field, or every bad pitch, or every fail at the plate. We lose sight of the fact that he is the winningest and most successful manager in Halo history. So you’re right, we rip on Juan alot, because much like Sosh, we forget that sometimes Johnny Rivers is better than we give him credit for.
all i got in the freezer is coconut and all 7-11 has is strawberry and i am CRAVING lemon popsicle … anyone know a place in south central i can get a lemon popsicle at 10 PM on a weeknight?
Let's go Halos!!!
moosemastr - August 23, 2010
ahhhh... new game thread smell
Come on guys, WIN THIS DAMNED GAME!
HalosFanInNorCal - August 23, 2010
does it smell like a bat
after you just fouled one straight back?
MH252525 - August 23, 2010
dunno
ask Juanita…. he could tell you
HalosFanInNorCal - August 23, 2010
Buntbar??

Lol, yeah!

Question guys
who is the last player/manager you guys can remember. I was a kid in the 80’s when I know Pete Rose did it for awhile right? Was he the last one to do it? And was it common in earlier times?
MH252525 - August 23, 2010
Are you suggesting Mathis as the next one?
angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
for the Rangers Single A team sure.
MH252525 - August 23, 2010
I was thinking more on the lines of a mexican league
angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
what and give him access to 29 cent tacos, dollar beers, and 5 dollar hookers?
no thanks, it was meant to be a punishment
MH252525 - August 23, 2010
Very true.
Single A Texas league is perfect.

"Those who can, do; those who can't, teach"
agent_99 - August 23, 2010
Rev's the only one old enough to answer that...........
wumbug - August 23, 2010
Bobby is old enough
Dono Romantico - August 23, 2010
I think LaRussa was one
but Rose was the last to do it.
It has happened a few times in bb history but was never “common”
Rev Halofan - August 23, 2010
thanks
MH252525 - August 23, 2010
hmm.
Let’s see. Joe Torre comes to mind.
HalosFanInNorCal - August 23, 2010
Here is a list
angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
Kaybar
gyoung08 - August 23, 2010

Mathbunt
~MMP~ - August 23, 2010
he cant even do that right
LeeUnitxxx - August 23, 2010
Shields is going to have 12 K's before he's done.
sheisalovelyladyandmyapologiestoher - August 23, 2010
How many will Scot Shields have?
ryanfea - August 23, 2010
More than you and I combined.
By one.
sheisalovelyladyandmyapologiestoher - August 23, 2010
ugh
Halos2011champs - August 23, 2010 via mobile
Sad part is that could refer to almost anything
ryanfea - August 23, 2010
clearly the media doesnt watch this team
starting pitching is not this teams problem
Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010
Hey, he didn't strikeout!
~MMP~ - August 23, 2010
All 3 guys just tried to bunt....
that is a new low.
angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
Angels flexing their muscles
Bunt, Bunt Bunt
Dono Romantico - August 23, 2010
Well that didn't take long.
halofolife - August 23, 2010
surely other teams must practice their bunt defense before angel games.
i
river-z - August 23, 2010
Why practice anything else?
angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
I have a serious love/hate relationship with this team.
gyoung08 - August 23, 2010
Get in line.
moosemastr - August 23, 2010
i ahve a hate relationship with this team
but has not affected my love relationship with the Angels
Rev Halofan - August 23, 2010
very true
MH252525 - August 23, 2010
Same here. Love the Halos.
Just not this bunch in particular. Still, Go Halos!
halofolife - August 23, 2010
I seriously hate to love this team.
sheisalovelyladyandmyapologiestoher - August 23, 2010
Hey, Kazmir might make it through 6 innings!
~MMP~ - August 23, 2010
this is whats sad.
as bad as kaz is the offense is worse.
LeeUnitxxx - August 23, 2010
What is the over/under on a leadoff walk?
gyoung08 - August 23, 2010

gyoung08 - August 23, 2010
HalosNorCal
amazing video….I used to live right off the exit where he crashed.
ladybug - August 23, 2010
really? must have been kind of strange to see it then?
HalosFanInNorCal - August 23, 2010
that's actually a radar trap in that area...
just weird to see some place I used to live like that
ladybug - August 23, 2010
I bet that it is
glad that you liked the video though :). I had to post it because it has to be one of the best crashes that I’ve seen recorded
HalosFanInNorCal - August 23, 2010
I think what saved him (so far anyway) is that his car spun in the air
and the back end hit the pillar. If he was ejected, it was on very soft ground and he didn’t lose momentum….if he slammed to a stop, his brain would be scrambled
ladybug - August 23, 2010
yeah, but I imagine that he is still in really bad shape
It’ll probably be a couple of months before he recovers enough to stand trial
HalosFanInNorCal - August 23, 2010
Cowart is now 3-1 with a single
MH252525 - August 23, 2010
Nice!
angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
1-3
river-z - August 23, 2010
I wonder if we'll get to see Walden again tonight
~MMP~ - August 23, 2010
why throw a 22 year old with a history of arm problems
in back to back games when we are going to be 9 games out….
wait just a minute, sounds like a perfect opportunity in Soth’s mind to get him in the game.
MH252525 - August 23, 2010
True, I hadn't thought about the arm problems. Doubt we'll see him them.
~MMP~ - August 23, 2010
are you accusing soth of poor bullpen management /sarcasm
LeeUnitxxx - August 23, 2010
dont worry
Iron Mike has his script for this game just like every other game
Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010
yea Jeps 7th, Rodney 8th, Fuentes 9th
and a Costco size of adult diapers next to the tub of bubblegum.
MH252525 - August 23, 2010
thats for Mikes pasta
Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010
including the obligatory cough during the postgame interview.
sheisalovelyladyandmyapologiestoher - August 23, 2010
k3yerout Longo
2nd time tonight homie
K3YEROUT - August 23, 2010
Kaz has settled down nicely to pitch mediocre.
sheisalovelyladyandmyapologiestoher - August 23, 2010
How has Kaz struck out Longo twice?
gyoung08 - August 23, 2010
How has he only given up 5 hits?
angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
they know they have an insurmountable lead
and are trying to end the game as quickly as possible so they can go clubbing with our usual 2B, Howie TalkShow
MH252525 - August 23, 2010
squirrel, nut, visual issues.
sheisalovelyladyandmyapologiestoher - August 23, 2010
k3yerout Abrew...
K3YEROUT - August 23, 2010
holy Crap
he pulled the ball!!
angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
2 in a row
Hacker will have words with these guys later.
MH252525 - August 23, 2010
Howie working on that batting title...(finally)
:)
K3YEROUT - August 23, 2010
who cares about batting titles
Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010
Alex Johnson
MH252525 - August 23, 2010
so I hear anyway
twas before my time
MH252525 - August 23, 2010
okay, let's tie this up!!!
stuck in Romania - August 23, 2010
Slappy Callaspo up.
sheisalovelyladyandmyapologiestoher - August 23, 2010
…and gets a hit…
K3YEROUT - August 23, 2010
He can slap those singles all night.
sheisalovelyladyandmyapologiestoher - August 23, 2010
Hey, another single.
angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
We're going to slap Shields right out of this game
~MMP~ - August 23, 2010
Callaspo's becoming quite the ticket, isn't he?
wumbug - August 23, 2010
Callspo has the most
meaningless hits in the history of mlb they produce and score no runs and yet Iron Mike bats him 3rd, he wouldnt hit 3rd on a AAA team
Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010
Callaspo's BA is now .289, second to Torii's .290.............
wumbug - August 23, 2010
its not how many hits
its when you get hits that matter BA is totally overrated
Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010
It totally matters...
How would Torii GIDP?
stuck in Romania - August 23, 2010
clearly
you think like Mike, its way more important to get hits with runners on base of RISP
Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010
but but
How do you get RISP without getting on base? Others are clearly failing way more than Callaspo
stuck in Romania - August 23, 2010
Now lets see if we can score with RISP.
halofolife - August 23, 2010
dont get too greedy
LeeUnitxxx - August 23, 2010
No kidding bro.
halofolife - August 23, 2010
We could use a HR right about now
agent_99 - August 23, 2010
No no
Iron Mike doesn’t like HRs, goes against his game plan
Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010
ok
we are almost 3 hrs into the game and it’s only the 5th inning. WTF? I thought that just the MFY and BoSux milked games like this.
HalosFanInNorCal - August 23, 2010
I wish we had 3 hrs tonight...
K3YEROUT - August 23, 2010
Callaspo has raised his batting average 14 points since coming over.
gyoung08 - August 23, 2010
who cares
Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010
Good job Torii!!!
stuck in Romania - August 23, 2010
Nice.
~MMP~ - August 23, 2010
Too bad our big bad #4 hitter can't get a hit...
K3YEROUT - August 23, 2010
I'd like to take this opportunity to call him out
it looks like’s he’s playing scared in the big games when we could really use him….
That’s for you Howie.
MH252525 - August 23, 2010
Torii Hunter pisses me off.
gyoung08 - August 23, 2010
!@#@$%^&*&*()(*%^$#@! Shit!
sheisalovelyladyandmyapologiestoher - August 23, 2010
protected pick clap clap clap
MH252525 - August 23, 2010
Man, good thing I didn't get to excited with those 2 crushed singles
angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
Why do you build me up?
agent_99 - August 23, 2010
...just to let me down.
sheisalovelyladyandmyapologiestoher - August 23, 2010
and mess me around
agent_99 - August 23, 2010
Just to let me dowm
so fitting……
angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
-10000000000000000000
for the buttercup reference.
HalosFanInNorCal - August 23, 2010
that's so very sad
agent_99 - August 23, 2010
this song is better
than buttercup
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbH_sDyWZqo
HalosFanInNorCal - August 23, 2010
but One
agent_99 - August 23, 2010
Ignore that errant post above
I meant to say that One West Bank ruined that song
agent_99 - August 23, 2010
is that the song that they use?
I’ve never heard their commercials.
HalosFanInNorCal - August 23, 2010
So I've been told ;>
agent_99 - August 23, 2010
but Mike would be very happy with that inning
they pressured the pitcher, forget about scoring runs Mike prefers sbs and running the bases, what a tool
Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010
Commenting about yourself again?
Post #7 of the day, I see. 8th ever.
wumbug - August 23, 2010
and your point is?
Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010
Lol Kazmir is still in the game?
Must be stretching him out for the playoffs
angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
You very funny.
sheisalovelyladyandmyapologiestoher - August 23, 2010
Are the Angels going to trade him?
grahams98 - August 23, 2010
Who on Earth would take him?
~MMP~ - August 23, 2010
Sarcasm...as in that's the only way he's getting to the playoffs
grahams98 - August 23, 2010
Oh I was serious about him playing for the Angels in the playoffs.....
Lol
angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
I pray this is Kaz's last batter.
gyoung08 - August 23, 2010
ever!
sheisalovelyladyandmyapologiestoher - August 23, 2010
I'm ok with that.
gyoung08 - August 23, 2010
+1,000,000
grahams98 - August 23, 2010
his last inning for sure
Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010
If he reaches base, most likely
~MMP~ - August 23, 2010
Yes!
Now we get to watch our stellar bullpen shut em down!
angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
Picking up a "W"
is not on Kazmirs mind Gubi. come on.
angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
Thanks for that Kazmir
~MMP~ - August 23, 2010
Denny Green said it best...
He is who we thought he was.
sheisalovelyladyandmyapologiestoher - August 23, 2010
nice!
grahams98 - August 23, 2010
KOHN!!!!
Please don’t let this game get outta hand.
halofolife - August 23, 2010
Kohn, Rodriguez, Walden
Our new look bullpen??
angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
I guess so. Bring on the young 'uns.
halofolife - August 23, 2010
I wish Trumbo
Was our new look first baseman.
ChargerBill - August 23, 2010
K
~MMP~ - August 23, 2010
Unrealized potential OR?
wasted promise
grahams98 - August 23, 2010
k3yerout Kelly
K3YEROUT - August 23, 2010
He sure Kohntrolled that atbat
nice job.
angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
I see what you did there. Well played!
gyoung08 - August 23, 2010
Shoppach couldn't Kohntrol himself and check his swing
~MMP~ - August 23, 2010
He was glad to Kohntribute.
halofolife - August 23, 2010
He looks kinda Kohnstipated
stuck in Romania - August 23, 2010
are you really trying to win when
you bring in Kohn into a 2 run game?
Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010
Why not he Kohntrolled the inning
angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
yeah he only hit it over the fence
Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010
Well
He took out Karmis… Coulda left him in to give up 13
stuck in Romania - August 23, 2010
I'm still not Kohnvinced that he is the real deal yet.
sheisalovelyladyandmyapologiestoher - August 23, 2010
Upton is crying...
Kaz is out of the game
grahams98 - August 23, 2010
Lol he still hit it to eht fence
angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
BOURJOS!
~MMP~ - August 23, 2010
Fleet Pete!
ChargerBill - August 23, 2010

that guy’s got it!
river-z - August 23, 2010
Bourjos is the man!
agent_99 - August 23, 2010
Way to go Petey Ballgame!
sheisalovelyladyandmyapologiestoher - August 23, 2010
Bourjous is the sole excitement on this entire team
and I love it!!
angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
are there bourjos jerseys in the team store yet?
LeeUnitxxx - August 23, 2010
nice catch
Mike will says its the best catch in the history of MLB during his BS postgame comments
Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010
Great play by Bourjos!
If we’d only called him up earlier.
halofolife - August 23, 2010
Yo y'all
red floyd - August 23, 2010
red my boy.
What’s up?
halofolife - August 23, 2010
This way ^
red floyd - August 23, 2010
Very clever.
You must be drunk. That’s the only time i’m clever!
halofolife - August 23, 2010
Hung over *again*?
red floyd - August 23, 2010
No, early day tomorrow.
The only thing i’m drinking is coke tonight.
halofolife - August 23, 2010
No, early day tomorrow.
The only thing i’m drinking is coke tonight.
halofolife - August 23, 2010
is there an echo in here? :)
HalosFanInNorCal - August 23, 2010
Snortin' whiskey... and drinkin' cocaine.
red floyd - August 23, 2010
It's my computer.
I haven’t drank or snorted anything tonight. Tomorrow maybe, not tonight.
halofolife - August 23, 2010
one whiskey, one bourbon and one beer
makes for a great night
HalosFanInNorCal - August 23, 2010
when have you ever been clever?
and no, that wasn’t a lame attempt at a bad rhyme :P
HalosFanInNorCal - August 23, 2010
I've been clever sporadically.
But nothing to brag about.
halofolife - August 23, 2010
we all have our moments :)
just giving you a hard time
HalosFanInNorCal - August 23, 2010
I got that bro. No worries.
Were all friends here in Haloland! ;)
halofolife - August 23, 2010
This.
angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
Hey Red
How’s it going?
HalosFanInNorCal - August 23, 2010
Hola Rojo
agent_99 - August 23, 2010
What did he do im not watching it
mathisrocks5 - August 23, 2010
so I think it was worth watching this super slow game just for that
river-z - August 23, 2010
pete is the only reason to watch this teamperiod this season
LeeUnitxxx - August 23, 2010
well i would say that that's true after kendry went down
river-z - August 23, 2010
So Pete would have -1.5 HRRAR
HR robbed above replacement
K3YEROUT - August 23, 2010
K3yeroutsui trying to K 2x's today and get on...alas, NO!
K3YEROUT - August 23, 2010
He robbed a HR?
mathisrocks5 - August 23, 2010
Someone besides Matsui want to try to get us some runs? Anyone?
~MMP~ - August 23, 2010
you mean besides St. Peter?
HalosFanInNorCal - August 23, 2010
ZzzzzZzzzzZzzzz.......
angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
PLease stay down Juan
stuck in Romania - August 23, 2010
Juans hurt?
mathisrocks5 - August 23, 2010
That's going to dramatically affect Juan's speed!
sheisalovelyladyandmyapologiestoher - August 23, 2010
Ha!
ryanfea - August 23, 2010
From "Really Slow" to "Wow, he's actually moving?"
~MMP~ - August 23, 2010
wait are you saying juanito is slow /sarcasm
LeeUnitxxx - August 23, 2010
I have no first hand knowledge of his intellect.
sheisalovelyladyandmyapologiestoher - August 23, 2010
Watching Pete play CF makes Angels baseball almost tolerable!
K3YEROUT - August 23, 2010
Watching him bat makes me wonder..........
wumbug - August 23, 2010
Watching Pete play CF
makes Juan Rivera look like he never moves.
angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
Gameday shows an injury delay between Outsui and Juanta GIDP.
What happened?
red floyd - August 23, 2010
look like Juan fouled one off of his calf
he’s ok for now
MH252525 - August 23, 2010
if we can just get a couple of guys on
then our premium players come up
MH252525 - August 23, 2010
nice AB Juan
AlohaHalofan - August 23, 2010
Juarning track rolls one down the LF juarning track...nice double
K3YEROUT - August 23, 2010
Nice AB Juan
~MMP~ - August 23, 2010
Juan with a couple of good AB's tonight.
gyoung08 - August 23, 2010
you know, sometimes I think it's too bad Juan wasn't simply the primary DH this year...
river-z - August 23, 2010
Matsui has been better than him though
ryanfea - August 23, 2010
that was a hanger if I ever saw one
AlohaHalofan - August 23, 2010
Oh wow
~MMP~ - August 23, 2010
I still am amazed at how hard Juan can hit the ball w/o striding at all.
MH252525 - August 23, 2010
Wow...I thought Eybar was supposed to be fast...
K3YEROUT - August 23, 2010
Can we get a 2 out hit?
gyoung08 - August 23, 2010
From Mathis?
ryanfea - August 23, 2010
mathis is up to bat. so... no
LeeUnitxxx - August 23, 2010
You should have said "may"
I’m not sure we can.
sheisalovelyladyandmyapologiestoher - August 23, 2010
And now Mathis needs to get a hit. We're screwed
~MMP~ - August 23, 2010
If Aybar was a jerk he would have stepped on Shield's ankle on that play
MH252525 - August 23, 2010
prediction time: Mathis will strike out on the 6th pitch
river-z - August 23, 2010
Pff, since when does he take pitches?
~MMP~ - August 23, 2010
ok, so it was the 4th pitch. my bad.
river-z - August 23, 2010
Ain't that the truth.
A 6 pitch AB by Mathis? It’ll never happen.
halofolife - August 23, 2010
youre giving him 6? generous
LeeUnitxxx - August 23, 2010
fouls off 3?
stuck in Romania - August 23, 2010
Only took 4
red floyd - August 23, 2010
If I was at the game right now
I would be booing the ENTIRE time Jeff Mathis was on the field.
MH252525 - August 23, 2010
on offense
MH252525 - August 23, 2010
Why just on offense? He's not good at defense either.
~MMP~ - August 23, 2010
because I would like to be able to talk at some point within the month
following the game
MH252525 - August 23, 2010
Mathis needs to swing a tree to actualy make contact.
gyoung08 - August 23, 2010
Premium player right there.
MH252525 - August 23, 2010
I could strike out every time. I would love his paycheck!
gyoung08 - August 23, 2010
Mathis rally killing K
no big surprise there.
HalosFanInNorCal - August 23, 2010
Yeah, what a shocker.
God he sucks.
halofolife - August 23, 2010
the really sad thing
is that after last seasons ALDS and his performance before he was hurt, I was pretty jazzed about him. Now, whatever it is that he had, is gone, and he sucks.
HalosFanInNorCal - August 23, 2010
Yeah, I remember the Mathis love earlier this season.
I was afraid all along that the ALCS and his early season success was a fluke. I would have rather been wrong.
halofolife - August 23, 2010
yeah, me too
HalosFanInNorCal - August 23, 2010
Haha keep trotting out there SOSH!!
By law of averages he is bound to get a hit or at least hit the ball.
angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
hey he got a triple when we were already way ahead on Saturday.
MH252525 - August 23, 2010
Yeah
that was his one hit…he’ll get one another one eventually.
angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
sometimes even shit doesnt stink
LeeUnitxxx - August 23, 2010
Thanks Jeff, glad you showed up.
~MMP~ - August 23, 2010
he showed up?
really? I see a meat puppet, not a baseball player.
HalosFanInNorCal - August 23, 2010
So sick of Mathis.
If you don’t want Napoli at least put in Wilson
stuck in Romania - August 23, 2010
aren't the Angels like 15-6 in games he's started?
MH252525 - August 23, 2010
that's what i hear
stuck in Romania - August 23, 2010
Yeah, I guess Soth abandoned his CERA philosophy
ryanfea - August 23, 2010
Mike has a philosophy please share
Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010
You're an idiot
ryanfea - August 23, 2010
If Mathis can get a hit here, I will change my user name to a symbol, a la Prince.
I was typing this and he struck out before I could finish this
Sumbitch!
sheisalovelyladyandmyapologiestoher - August 23, 2010
You gotta be quick....
To keep up with a Mathis strikeout.
halofolife - August 23, 2010
Jeff Mathis
50 strikeouts to 4 walks. That is positively Wood-esque.
Suboptimal - August 23, 2010
I rather have Wood play
~MMP~ - August 23, 2010
which one looks better in a uniform though..
and who has the prettier swing?
clover_black - August 23, 2010
He is who we thought he was.
To bad our skipper doesn’t.
sheisalovelyladyandmyapologiestoher - August 23, 2010
Good to see Sosh isn't playing favorites
and it’s good to see Matshit sitting….oh wait nvm.
angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
mike has his favorites
but mostly he manages like AYSO, everyone plays
Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010
except Brando.
sheisalovelyladyandmyapologiestoher - August 23, 2010
Wood is still worse
Mathis: .200 / .218 / .300
Wood: .163 / . 180 / .219
Suboptimal - August 23, 2010
the amount of suck is minimal though
they are both horrible.
HalosFanInNorCal - August 23, 2010
Don't worry, given enough ABs, I'm sure Mathis will fix that.
~MMP~ - August 23, 2010
Mathisrocks!

grahams98 - August 23, 2010
Anyone gonna Kohnplain that K Rod II is in
Instead of Kohn?
ryanfea - August 23, 2010
I Kohncur with Sosh's decision
but I Kohn’t wait till Walden comes in!
angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
like I said
are you really trying to win when you bring in Kohn then the new Krod. That’s hoping to get outs not expecting to get outs
Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010
Why...
the rest of the bullpen sucks. You bring them in just to pad the stats of the other team. At least the new regime has a chance of getting outs.
angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
Because the bullpen we started the year with was so effective at getting outs?
~MMP~ - August 23, 2010
in a game you have to win
you go with your best pitchers, Kohn and Krod aren’t it
Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010
And who is?
Rodney, Jepsen, Fuentes?
angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
They have been decent enough this year
With Bulger out and Jepsen and Rodney having bad seasons, it makes sense to go to these guys
ryanfea - August 23, 2010
i agree with going with the hot hand so to speak
but Mike is pitching wrath of Kohn and Krod because the Angels are behind not because they are pitching well
Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010
Uh... Bring in Weaver, Santana and Haren
stuck in Romania - August 23, 2010
Haren isnt all that
Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010
Well I wasx gonna write Saundo, and then Piniero... BUT
stuck in Romania - August 23, 2010
I Kohn't believe it
~MMP~ - August 23, 2010
Cowart sucks..........he stuck out twice tonight
wumbug - August 23, 2010
That AZL team is going to combine for over 200 k's
what is 2 more
angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
If the season were a little longer...
…they could all have 200 K’s each.
Robviously - August 23, 2010
Bolden could make it to 300 K's
ryanfea - August 23, 2010
I think his Avg. is 2 a game
angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
I think his batting average is .002.
Robviously - August 23, 2010
He has 10 effing atbats
mathisrocks5 - August 23, 2010
Mathisitis is contagious
ChargerBill - August 23, 2010
Better send Hatcher to work with him
grahams98 - August 23, 2010
you mean Hatcher the clown?
for what to tell some jokes
Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010
Fire Hatcher!
Quad Fin Rider - August 23, 2010
just wait until Hacker will get to talk to him
those 3-2 K’s will turn into 1-0 flares to the opposite field
MH252525 - August 23, 2010
It's not Hatcher's fault.
He’s a great hitting instructor and hitting instructors don’t do anything anyway. Or something.
Robviously - August 23, 2010
yeah I read that article
what a joke then why have a batting coach at all? Total crap
Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010
Can you believe this, Rev?
wumbug - August 23, 2010
Two quality outings was too much to ask for.
gyoung08 - August 23, 2010

sheisalovelyladyandmyapologiestoher - August 23, 2010

clover_black - August 23, 2010
We sure have two winners in the booth don't we.
sheisalovelyladyandmyapologiestoher - August 23, 2010
Strike 3 damnit!
Speed up the game!
angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
Soth always looks either pissed off or confused
not used to seeing that from him, can’t be good at all for the team
HalosFanInNorCal - August 23, 2010
hes grinding all season
like he can’t believe what’s happening on the field.
Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010
can someone teach Aybar to drop a knee
MH252525 - August 23, 2010
This crappy year...
might end up being a blessing. A lot more guys that give me hope than I thought we had in the minors are now getting a shot to play.
grahams98 - August 23, 2010
I will always remember this forgettable season.
sheisalovelyladyandmyapologiestoher - August 23, 2010
plus
every loss brings us that much closer to a top-tier draft pick
HalosFanInNorCal - August 23, 2010
the closer we are to danger...
the farther we are from harm?
grahams98 - August 23, 2010
The next Brandon Wood?

Dallas McPherson II
grahams98 - August 23, 2010
Troy Glaus V2
HalosFanInNorCal - August 23, 2010
The next Jered Weaver?
Robviously - August 23, 2010
Garret Cole??
If we can fall that far and get him, that’d be sweet.
angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
Walked him, dammit
red floyd - August 23, 2010
he got the job done
no blood, no foul.
HalosFanInNorCal - August 23, 2010
That was terrifying

Great approach by Bourjos on that swing..............

nicely done pete
Dono Romantico - August 23, 2010
Bourjos wasn't trying to do too much there, Gubi approves
~MMP~ - August 23, 2010
way to stay within yourself, inside the ball
grahams98 - August 23, 2010
Did he stay within his mechanics like Dean Chance?
ChargerBill - August 23, 2010
I muted Gubi several seasons ago
Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010
Great 2-strike approach!
B-Wood take some notes.
angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
approach?
hes a slap hitter anyway, same approach every at bat
Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010
Petey doesn't seem like he broods on his batting issues like B-wood

Much like our team, we suck.

stuck in Romania - August 23, 2010
Does neutralizing the Angels offense
…really require multiple pitching changes in one inning?
The_Question - August 23, 2010
there should be a rule
only 1 pitching change per inning
Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010
seriously, this game is long enough already
river-z - August 23, 2010
Chad Qualuude up
red floyd - August 23, 2010
From whom did Maddon learn the mid-inning pitching change?
Lord knows it wasn’t from Soth.
MH252525 - August 23, 2010
He might have just thought about it
And reached a logical conclusion.
Suboptimal - August 23, 2010
I blame Tony LaRussa for this trend
The_Question - August 23, 2010
He's been hanging out in the AL East.
Probably learned it from Skeletor and Francona
red floyd - August 23, 2010
people forget
Maddon was with the Angels well before Iron Mike got there
Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010
Bourjos!
~MMP~ - August 23, 2010
Qualls is crap
Hit this bitatch Howie, then sell him a TV.

Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010
aybar is fast
How is that working for him?
Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010
and he's only going to get better
HalosFanInNorCal - August 23, 2010
I sure hope so.
sheisalovelyladyandmyapologiestoher - August 23, 2010
Yep
that’s why the full season will be fun.
angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
Under Hatcher?
ChargerBill - August 23, 2010
unless he follows
Wood’s career path
or Mathis’, or Howies, or Naps…..
MH252525 - August 23, 2010
but yes my bet is on him getting better
MH252525 - August 23, 2010
We can only thank God
he is not Mathis lol
angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
only 2 catchers in MLB have 20 HRS the last 3 years
Napoli and this other guy whos pretty good in Atlanta
Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010
That was Gorgeous.

angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
Then we'll all be bitchin about our lack of power hitting in the outfield.
sheisalovelyladyandmyapologiestoher - August 23, 2010
I won't lol
I love speed!
angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010

Hunter looks tired and old
Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010
send him to Texas
grahams98 - August 23, 2010
its probably because hes tired and old.
clover_black - August 23, 2010
Statistically
He’s still our best player.
Robviously - August 23, 2010
he'd make a nice #6 or 7 hitter on a championship caliber club
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - August 23, 2010
15th in the AL in OPS
That’s pretty damn good.
The problem is that we’ve only got one guy like him right now.
Robviously - August 23, 2010
if hunter were izturis
he’d say he was hurt and take a vacation
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - August 23, 2010
id rather have Quinlan
Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010
Maicer is as fragile as a newly discovered Egyptian mummy
sheisalovelyladyandmyapologiestoher - August 23, 2010
That sure looked like a ball to me too

angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
Weird Beard Time?
ChargerBill - August 23, 2010
Don't worry
Mathis will save us in the bottom of the ninth.
The_Question - August 23, 2010
no chance
Mike is pinch hit for him
Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010
I would hope so
The_Question - August 23, 2010
I have a problem with it on several levels
it shows Mike has no confidence in him in the clutch
and what manager pinch hits for their every day catcher late in games?
Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010
What other manager would have Mathis
as there every day catcher?
angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
Mike shouldn't have confidence in him
And he is there for his defense, it shouldn’t be an insult to be pinch-hit for if you are a defensive specialist
The_Question - August 23, 2010
If he doesn't pinch hit for him...
we call a fan-strike and don’t spend anymore money on the Angels!
grahams98 - August 23, 2010
Oh wait...
I already did that a couple months ago
grahams98 - August 23, 2010
I like how Mike basically admits that mathis is completely useless on offense
and will pinch hit for him after he strikes out for the 1000th consecutive time .. too bad he keeps on giving him the start.
clover_black - August 23, 2010
there's a skeleton in Mike's closet
and Mathis has pictures
grahams98 - August 23, 2010
At least Juanita couldn't GIDP
red floyd - August 23, 2010
Not watching...
how does Rivera look at first base?
grahams98 - August 23, 2010
Not great. Not terrible.
Which is to say he looks the same as in LF.
halofolife - August 23, 2010
I dont know why fans rip on Riveras defense
He has consistently put on better than average defense stats in LF and is way better than Abreu in the OF.
Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010
I see what you're saying.
It’s like when fans blame Scioscia for every mistake on the field, or every bad pitch, or every fail at the plate. We lose sight of the fact that he is the winningest and most successful manager in Halo history. So you’re right, we rip on Juan alot, because much like Sosh, we forget that sometimes Johnny Rivers is better than we give him credit for.
halofolife - August 23, 2010
This isn't to say that Sosh doesn't piss me off,
Or do shit that makes me shake my head.
halofolife - August 23, 2010
I take that back.
Sometimes Johnny Rivers looks terrible in LF!
halofolife - August 23, 2010
ok
he made a pretty good play early in the game, scooping up a sharp grounder
Then he blew a tag on a pickoff that really should have been an out
river-z - August 23, 2010
F-ing commercials on Gameday?

is Rodney actually wearing his hat straight???
Quad Fin Rider - August 23, 2010
I think you're really really drunk...lol
angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
Nope, it is eber-so-slightly askew.
sheisalovelyladyandmyapologiestoher - August 23, 2010
Sort of
It’s facing straight, but tilted vertically
The_Question - August 23, 2010
torii reminded him he's an imposter
and he straightened it up a tad.
clover_black - August 23, 2010
Hunter should do less talking and more hitting
Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010
playing the stupid comment race card are we?
sheisalovelyladyandmyapologiestoher - August 23, 2010
You make sense.
clover_black - August 23, 2010
I want to slap him every time I see him
and his wanna be gangsta hat
grahams98 - August 23, 2010
He DID have it straight at one point, but every time he wiped the sweat off his forehead, he moved it more askew

stuck in Romania - August 23, 2010
Well this will be a quick inning lol
angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
Napoli gonna pinch strikeout for mathis.
clover_black - August 23, 2010
Mike likes to be his own batboy
grahams98 - August 23, 2010
No RISP, so Napoli will go yard here
~MMP~ - August 23, 2010
I would Pitch hit for Mathis
UCIHalo - August 23, 2010
extra dressing, please
yeswecan - August 23, 2010
for those Mike lovers
If you are going to PH for Mathis why not for Aybar? In late close games he sucks
Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010
Because we only have one good hitter on the bench
~MMP~ - August 23, 2010
And not that many good hitters in the lineup really.
Robviously - August 23, 2010
hey this is the team Mike put together
so blame him and Reagins, this team is less exciting that watching grass grow
Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010
They said something about changing course.
Or something. Things will get better. Right? Right?
Robviously - August 23, 2010
Depends on the kind of grass
that Augustine stuff grows like a champ.
angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
with who?
stuck in Romania - August 23, 2010
Brandon Wood of course!
angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
Oh yeah, the other shortstop
How could I be so stupid
stuck in Romania - August 23, 2010
Another future Angels superstar.
Robviously - August 23, 2010
That's the rumor.
Heard he hit like 50 HRs in AZ
angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
dont worry
Iron Mike is looking forward to seeing his new stance. WTF?
Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010
That was the pitch...
…and he fouled it off.
The_Question - August 23, 2010

Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010

UCIHalo - August 23, 2010

Quinlan's Goofy Swing - August 23, 2010

Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010

UCIHalo - August 23, 2010
Big Gulp, eh? Welp, See ya later!
angelskid2210 - August 23, 2010
meanwhile bourjous looks like a pitcher who hasn't swung since college
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - August 23, 2010
kid has no chance
but Mike doesnt PH for him, why ask why?
Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010
Because the options there are Brandon Wood and Reggie Willits.
~MMP~ - August 23, 2010
Wood is an expert
on stiking out on 3 pitches whats the difference?
Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010
christ i watched that entire turd of a game.
clover_black - August 23, 2010
talk about not being intimidated by your competition
UCIHalo - August 23, 2010
k3yerout Pete
good night…drive home safely!
K3YEROUT - August 23, 2010
I wanna see pete at 1
no reason for sosh not to try it, since its a different lineup every day.
clover_black - August 23, 2010
i'd rather see willits at 1
bourjous is overmatched
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - August 23, 2010
and i cant stand reginald
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - August 23, 2010
Reggie Jackson?
is he avaliable
Big Daddy Vlad - August 23, 2010
Well i'm watching Seinfeld and calling it a night.
Goodnight everybody, hopefully we get them tomorrow.
halofolife - August 23, 2010
Jose Mota is a tool too
Maddon did not learn from Mike, he was with the Angels long before Iron Mike got there
