and he got an additonal 3 months of roster time.
made a bad toss up high and the pitcher had to lunge and hurt himself.
that sounds very Q-esque

not the base
I retract my statement
But I’ll take it
vladtheimpaler - August 9, 2010 reply
that’s the only way Mathis could throw somebody out stealing
Quad Fin Rider - August 9, 2010 reply
He was out. I take back my previous statement
after that throw, he’s never playing again under soth
He plays it better than Howie
Tony just traded Conger for Omar Visquel and Carlos Ramirez for a guy at Home Depot who throws some wicked nice BP.
Good play by the Admiral, blocking the plate with his foot.
Or I’m gonna lose some panther points (must get to top of the lineup)

because it gives soth leverage to keep him in the top half of the lineup.
I feel a double play coming from Juan
there will be another Jaun
he hits the ball in the same damn spot everytime
IN LEFT
shit
he plays our style. (sarcasm included)
and firepower ?

“Rodney wears his hat slightly askew, probably to throw off hitters”?
gubi was snickering.
on the Puppy Who Lost His Way…. everyone is now dumber for having listened
There I said it.
I like Rojas. I can’t take much of Gubi
Rojas is the man.
whose Dad name is my favorite dessert?
My 2nd favorite dessert. Jello is #1
Is that you?
is former Angels manager Cookie Rojas
But somehow when you said dessert, all I could think of was jello
and gubi a little bit too much hate…
they’re both pretty forgettable and I find myself tuning them out frequently.
Just making a clarifying statement. I prefer Terry Smith and Rory Markus (RIP), but it is what it is
this is a rare game I’ve seen on TV — I guess I’m not familiar with what I hope is Victor’s sense of humor
Ok, I’m easy.
that or walk batters
while our 5+ ERA pitcher only increase theirs?

What the hell is Maffis doing??? Lighting the world on fire?
even more than FUentens
Fleeter Peter?
Been busy getting ready to paint the house.
rspencer - August 9, 2010 reply
Drink beer and bbq.
But I’ve put it off long enough. I actually need to paint it to get cheaper house insurance.
So a lot of colors. Kind of a cappucino body color, light tan second story, forest green trim, dark red sash, and dark brown foundation.
Sounds complicated. Will there be numbers to follow?
No, but I did have to do a color drawing of the house to make sure I know what goes where. There are actually rules for this sort of thing. Victorians had very specific ideas about color.
You’ve seen those Painted Ladies books?
You can make book on that!
Shields comes in and throws 2 shutout innings (albeit with 2 walks) Booby hits triple to win game!
Giving Abreu a shot in extra innings
wow
Unfortunately, they don’t share pitching talent.
just barely….
just throw him a strike
dont EFFIN WALK THE EFFIN LEADOFF GUY YOU STUPID SOB!
hard to blame Fuentes as he hit the glove
they needed to throw something closer to a strike.
hobbit_86 - August 9, 2010 reply
so… not much of a chance for fuentes to show his true colors.
did you hear that?
it is our bullpen imploding
wumbug - August 9, 2010 reply
out of millions
you can’t assume Peter is going to throw it to third
one more.
AngelsBaseball - August 9, 2010 via mobile reply
We must have him!
Win!
Just another Halos Victory!!!
Now only 8 1/2 games back. We’re a roarin’ back!
suddenly things are looking up .
8.5 is like Dumb and Dumber “so you’re saying there’s a chance”
midget
gaining a half a game is G U D

MH252525 - August 9, 2010
might want to change that both starters gone thing Rev
MH252525 - August 9, 2010
one gone from the game
one gone from our team
Rev Halofan - August 9, 2010
nice
MH252525 - August 9, 2010
one of those games where the other team has the right to complain about the k zone
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - August 9, 2010
All right!
LanaBanana - August 9, 2010
nice throw by Mathis
hbhalofan - August 9, 2010
THAT'S WHY HE'S IN THERE
SINCERELY,
SOTH
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - August 9, 2010
because he correctly called a pitchout
and the runner was probably still safe? lol
MH252525 - August 9, 2010
that play is good for an additional 3-4 years of mathis starting
clover_black - August 9, 2010
one time Q fielded a ball cleanly and underhanded to the pitcher covering
and he got an additonal 3 months of roster time.
MH252525 - August 9, 2010
didnt he hurt a pitcher with a play like that?
made a bad toss up high and the pitcher had to lunge and hurt himself.
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - August 9, 2010
possibly
that sounds very Q-esque
MH252525 - August 9, 2010
Where is Q these days?
opiejeanne - August 9, 2010
He looked safe to me
ryanfea - August 9, 2010
Heathen
red floyd - August 9, 2010
Shhh!
~MMP~ - August 9, 2010
hand on Maicer's shoe
not the base
Rev Halofan - August 9, 2010
Yep
I retract my statement
ryanfea - August 9, 2010
There, Jeff, that wasnt so hard, was it?
red floyd - August 9, 2010
Not sure he wasn't under the tag
But I’ll take it
vladtheimpaler - August 9, 2010
Imposter!
red floyd - August 9, 2010
umpires giving back all kinds of terrible calls to the angels
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - August 9, 2010
Getz must have broken his leg halfway to 2nd
that’s the only way Mathis could throw somebody out stealing
Quad Fin Rider - August 9, 2010
Ah
He was out. I take back my previous statement
ryanfea - August 9, 2010
napoli just retired from the angels
after that throw, he’s never playing again under soth
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - August 9, 2010
Why the heck isn't Naps at 1B?
He plays it better than Howie
red floyd - August 9, 2010
and after seeing that throw
Tony just traded Conger for Omar Visquel and Carlos Ramirez for a guy at Home Depot who throws some wicked nice BP.
MH252525 - August 9, 2010
Clearly out.
Good play by the Admiral, blocking the plate with his foot.
red floyd - August 9, 2010
We need to get some hits here
Or I’m gonna lose some panther points (must get to top of the lineup)
vladtheimpaler - August 9, 2010
Now THAT was safe
vladtheimpaler - August 9, 2010
And then some
LanaBanana - August 9, 2010
Why does the title say "both starters gone"?
bc56274 - August 9, 2010
There's a technical term for that.
It’s called a “mistake”
red floyd - August 9, 2010
predicting the future is an inexact science?
vladtheimpaler - August 9, 2010
It's now correct!
bc56274 - August 9, 2010
OK, now it's accurate.
red floyd - August 9, 2010
Callaspo kinda looks like GA
blochead - August 9, 2010
thought that like a minute ago. haha
IE Angel - August 9, 2010
Needs more mustache though
blochead - August 9, 2010
But you were too busy channelling your inner GA to post it?
red floyd - August 9, 2010
exactly
IE Angel - August 9, 2010
yea but GA is luckily too lazy to hit his wife
MH252525 - August 9, 2010
What are the odds that there could be two major league ball players NOT realated to each named Texiera?
agent_99 - August 9, 2010
It would be better if they were both named Kanekoa
blochead - August 9, 2010
...and that both are famous for home runs?
Quad Fin Rider - August 9, 2010
Some guy on the Royals has the last name Kuntz
~MMP~ - August 9, 2010
First name Harold?
blochead - August 9, 2010
and the A's have the Wuertz reliever around
MH252525 - August 9, 2010
There was once a bench clearing brawl, and he didn't even come out of the dugout.
Turns out he was a big pussy.
bc56274 - August 9, 2010
well he had gone to the beach previously that day
MH252525 - August 9, 2010
But doesn't the one
who wasn’t with the Angels for 1/2 season spelled without the “i?” Texeira, instead of Teixeira
LanaBanana - August 9, 2010
Yep
~MMP~ - August 9, 2010
You're right
agent_99 - August 9, 2010
Lets go Outsui......
get the Ribbie
norcaliangelsfan - August 9, 2010
BALK!
Quad Fin Rider - August 9, 2010
This guy looks like KRod II, except the cap is higher
red floyd - August 9, 2010
no one wears the cap lower than Francisco.
MH252525 - August 9, 2010
I don't think it's possible to wear your hat lower than he does
~MMP~ - August 9, 2010
Awesome way to score a run
~MMP~ - August 9, 2010
All right!
LanaBanana - August 9, 2010
BALK in run
red floyd - August 9, 2010
OK that works
thanks for the gift run KC
hbhalofan - August 9, 2010
Balk you very much

Sookie
DAD OF VLAD - August 9, 2010
slap hitting FTW
norcaliangelsfan - August 9, 2010
izturis getting these useless singles is awful to me
because it gives soth leverage to keep him in the top half of the lineup.
IE Angel - August 9, 2010
yeah because people in the top half of the lineup getting on base is so awful
norcaliangelsfan - August 9, 2010
Ok since last time didn't work
I feel a double play coming from Juan
MH252525 - August 9, 2010
nope
norcaliangelsfan - August 9, 2010
the need to dump
there will be another Jaun
DAD OF VLAD - August 9, 2010
that's why Howie's BABIP is so low
he hits the ball in the same damn spot everytime
MH252525 - August 9, 2010
wouldnt be a porblem if it was into the stands
IN LEFT
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - August 9, 2010
there goes the batting title
shit
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - August 9, 2010
I wonder if any team would give up decent talent for HK
blochead - August 9, 2010
Didn't we just have a thread on this one?
red floyd - August 9, 2010
Granderson?
DAD OF VLAD - August 9, 2010
we need a player like Omar Infante.
he plays our style. (sarcasm included)
IE Angel - August 9, 2010
He is an all star after all...
ryanfea - August 9, 2010
Maybe if they have Howard's Appliance stores in their town....
LanaBanana - August 9, 2010
How many runs does Rodney give up here? I say 2.
~MMP~ - August 9, 2010
At least
ryanfea - August 9, 2010
any chance of bringing back GA for some hustle.....
and firepower ?
Ed@northridge - August 9, 2010
We have enough bad hitters.
~MMP~ - August 9, 2010
Last day of season
ryanfea - August 9, 2010
So was that one on HK47 or F-Rod?
red floyd - August 9, 2010
HK.
gyoung08 - August 9, 2010
Reply fail.
gyoung08 - August 9, 2010
I'd say Howie more than Rodney
MH252525 - August 9, 2010
did some fucktard really say
“Rodney wears his hat slightly askew, probably to throw off hitters”?
Quad Fin Rider - August 9, 2010
I think they were kidding, well actually I hope they were
~MMP~ - August 9, 2010
it hard to with this crew sometimes
Quad Fin Rider - August 9, 2010
i think that was sarcasm, from rojas.
gubi was snickering.
clover_black - August 9, 2010
you mean you actually listen to what they say
MH252525 - August 9, 2010
that could rot your brain
hbhalofan - August 9, 2010
Just like Billy Madison's speech
on the Puppy Who Lost His Way…. everyone is now dumber for having listened
MH252525 - August 9, 2010
I believe that "fucktard" would Victor Rojas
agent_99 - August 9, 2010
I know I stand alone here, but I like Gubi and I like Rojas.
There I said it.
LanaBanana - August 9, 2010
GASP
I like Rojas. I can’t take much of Gubi
ryanfea - August 9, 2010
Gubi= Less annoying Hud
Rojas is the man.
blochead - August 9, 2010
yea how can you not like a guy
whose Dad name is my favorite dessert?
MH252525 - August 9, 2010
Huh?
LanaBanana - August 9, 2010
cookie rojas
IE Angel - August 9, 2010
Oh, duh!
My 2nd favorite dessert. Jello is #1
LanaBanana - August 9, 2010
Bill Cosby????
Is that you?
MH252525 - August 9, 2010
his father
is former Angels manager Cookie Rojas
MH252525 - August 9, 2010
I knew that.
But somehow when you said dessert, all I could think of was jello
LanaBanana - August 9, 2010
i think rojas gets a little bit too much credit..
and gubi a little bit too much hate…
they’re both pretty forgettable and I find myself tuning them out frequently.
clover_black - August 9, 2010
I wasn't making a judgement call
Just making a clarifying statement. I prefer Terry Smith and Rory Markus (RIP), but it is what it is
agent_99 - August 9, 2010
I like Terry Smith, as well, but he is suited for the radio. I loved Rory, but he's gone
LanaBanana - August 9, 2010
I usually always listen to Terry
this is a rare game I’ve seen on TV — I guess I’m not familiar with what I hope is Victor’s sense of humor
Quad Fin Rider - August 9, 2010
Me too.
Ok, I’m easy.
opiejeanne - August 9, 2010
Giving up runs is what Fernando does best
that or walk batters
blochead - August 9, 2010
And here comes the BB
red floyd - August 9, 2010
Thank you betimit
vladtheimpaler - August 9, 2010
Hey, he only gave up 1 run! Success!
~MMP~ - August 9, 2010
Tony should give him a contract extension
blochead - August 9, 2010
Will Bobby get a triple?
red floyd - August 9, 2010
He'll need a day off to recover from all that strenuous activity
blochead - August 9, 2010
Of course he will don't be ridiculous
vladtheimpaler - August 9, 2010
To be honest, given it's a 2 run game, I'd rather see a solo shot.
red floyd - August 9, 2010
I was kidding
vladtheimpaler - August 9, 2010
looked outside.
clover_black - August 9, 2010
Why do pitchers from other teams who have a 5+ ERA come in and mow us down...
while our 5+ ERA pitcher only increase theirs?
gyoung08 - August 9, 2010
Because Callaspo bats third
ryanfea - August 9, 2010
Because other teams' pitchers get to face our offense, ours don't
~MMP~ - August 9, 2010
So Naps is on the bench because he's struggling......

ooooh almost a triple
vladtheimpaler - August 9, 2010
when will they start
Fleeter Peter?
DAD OF VLAD - August 9, 2010
sorry start him at leadoff
DAD OF VLAD - August 9, 2010
Good evening, all
Been busy getting ready to paint the house.
rspencer - August 9, 2010
Don't do it
Drink beer and bbq.
vladtheimpaler - August 9, 2010
Excellent suggestion!
But I’ve put it off long enough. I actually need to paint it to get cheaper house insurance.
rspencer - August 9, 2010
What color?
LanaBanana - August 9, 2010
Plaid
red floyd - August 9, 2010
It's a Victorian
So a lot of colors. Kind of a cappucino body color, light tan second story, forest green trim, dark red sash, and dark brown foundation.
rspencer - August 9, 2010
Wow.
Sounds complicated. Will there be numbers to follow?
LanaBanana - August 9, 2010
paint by number
DAD OF VLAD - August 9, 2010
Ha!
No, but I did have to do a color drawing of the house to make sure I know what goes where. There are actually rules for this sort of thing. Victorians had very specific ideas about color.
rspencer - August 9, 2010
Well, it sounds great. I'm looking forward to being invited to a house warming party when you are done.
LanaBanana - August 9, 2010
If I don't fall off the scaffold!
rspencer - August 9, 2010
Cool!
You’ve seen those Painted Ladies books?
opiejeanne - August 9, 2010
A little late here, but yes I have
rspencer - August 9, 2010
Halos Red, no doubt!
Quad Fin Rider - August 9, 2010
Ya, a red house should get hime cheaper insurance....
LanaBanana - August 9, 2010
*him
LanaBanana - August 9, 2010
Oh, there's red there
You can make book on that!
rspencer - August 9, 2010
No cycle
red floyd - August 9, 2010
Of course he didn't, what would the odds be of that.
vladtheimpaler - August 9, 2010
Fuentes gives up 2 runs
Shields comes in and throws 2 shutout innings (albeit with 2 walks)
Booby hits triple to win game!
MH252525 - August 9, 2010
Fuentes might blow this game
Giving Abreu a shot in extra innings
ryanfea - August 9, 2010
RAWR!
vladtheimpaler - August 9, 2010
Fuentes's and Percival's birthday today
~MMP~ - August 9, 2010
Same day?
wow
DAD OF VLAD - August 9, 2010
Both wore same number as Angels
ryanfea - August 9, 2010
So Fuentesaurus and Percy share a birthday.
Unfortunately, they don’t share pitching talent.
red floyd - August 9, 2010
Fuentes is clearly better
blochead - August 9, 2010
Joe Mauer catches that
just barely….
MH252525 - August 9, 2010
Where did that miss?
~MMP~ - August 9, 2010
outside
MH252525 - August 9, 2010
thanks for calling for the same pitch off the corner twice in a row Jeff
MH252525 - August 9, 2010
And here comes the lead off walk just to spice things up.
gyoung08 - August 9, 2010
Where the heck did Ball 3 miss?
red floyd - August 9, 2010
with a 2 run lead he couldn't afford to try to paint the corner.
just throw him a strike
MH252525 - August 9, 2010
wtf FUentes......
dont EFFIN WALK THE EFFIN LEADOFF GUY YOU STUPID SOB!
norcaliangelsfan - August 9, 2010
Mathis was setting up outside
hard to blame Fuentes as he hit the glove
MH252525 - August 9, 2010
And ball 3 was probably strike 3
red floyd - August 9, 2010
after already having a similar pitch called a ball the previous pitch
they needed to throw something closer to a strike.
MH252525 - August 9, 2010
That's on Mathis
red floyd - August 9, 2010
I agree completely
MH252525 - August 9, 2010
MEOW!
vladtheimpaler - August 9, 2010
Victor dissing the umps
red floyd - August 9, 2010
DP please
hobbit_86 - August 9, 2010
Why? Why can't it ever be easy?
gyoung08 - August 9, 2010
In Fuentes' defense, this is the first drama he's given us in a while.
red floyd - August 9, 2010
we've been losing games on the regular, however.
so… not much of a chance for fuentes to show his true colors.
clover_black - August 9, 2010
boooooooooooom
did you hear that?
it is our bullpen imploding
DAD OF VLAD - August 9, 2010
Who did Fuentes think he was fooling with that pitch?
wumbug - August 9, 2010
the angels front office
out of millions
DAD OF VLAD - August 9, 2010
Is it too late to include Fuentes in the trade for Callaspo?
Quad Fin Rider - August 9, 2010
RAWR?
vladtheimpaler - August 9, 2010
That was a perfect throw by Bourjos
MH252525 - August 9, 2010
Gordon makes a huge baserunning mistake
red floyd - August 9, 2010
huh???? his run counts as much as Torii's did when he got caught stealing third
you can’t assume Peter is going to throw it to third
MH252525 - August 9, 2010
one more brian
one more.
AngelsBaseball - August 9, 2010 via mobile
your asking alot of him
DAD OF VLAD - August 9, 2010
bourjos has that easy
clover_black - August 9, 2010
Peter would have caught that
vladtheimpaler - August 9, 2010
Kotch would have had that
red floyd - August 9, 2010
That boy is chunky
We must have him!
blochead - August 9, 2010
RAAWWWWWRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!
Win!
vladtheimpaler - August 9, 2010
Light up the Halo!
~MMP~ - August 9, 2010
LIGHT UP THE HALO
Just another Halos Victory!!!
red floyd - August 9, 2010
Yay!!!
LanaBanana - August 9, 2010
Light Up That Halo!
agent_99 - August 9, 2010
Back to .500!
Now only 8 1/2 games back. We’re a roarin’ back!
ryanfea - August 9, 2010
another lose for SOS
DAD OF VLAD - August 9, 2010
from 10 to 8.5
suddenly things are looking up .
Ed@northridge - August 9, 2010
yea 10 is like "next year can't come soon enough"
8.5 is like Dumb and Dumber “so you’re saying there’s a chance”
MH252525 - August 9, 2010
Just need like 19 more of these in a row to get right back in it.
MH252525 - August 9, 2010
Hey! We won't get swept by the Royals!
gyoung08 - August 9, 2010
post of the night!
MH252525 - August 9, 2010
it'd be nice to get an easy win for a change, but I'll take it!!!
Quad Fin Rider - August 9, 2010
sean farnham is a fucking weirdo.
clover_black - August 9, 2010
makes BA look like a midget .
Ed@northridge - August 9, 2010
probably the most useless player in UCLA basketball history
Quad Fin Rider - August 9, 2010
Farnham makes Bobby look like a midgit
agent_99 - August 9, 2010
midget
agent_99 - August 9, 2010
