V&G: Mr. Scioscia, we represent some… statisticians, as well as some beer makers. They’se gots something they wants to discuss wid youse.
[Enter SABR guys and Bud Selig].
SABR Guys: You can’t keep beating our statistical projections. It’ makes us looks stupid.
Bud: Look. You can’t beat the Red Sox in the playoffs and expect to get away scot-free. OK, if you’re the Yankees (bows his head in silence for a second) you can. But you don’t manage the Yankees (bows his head in silence for a second).
Bud (continuing): So you need to lose a lot this season, or Vinny and Guido here will be… paying you a visit…. if you catch my drift….
Vlad infield single up the middle, 3rd base coach Dave Anderson makes contact with Michael Young going around third, who was called out on the spot. 6-5 Minnesota Win.

wow we are winning for once… greeting for med school fellow angels fans…. don’t have much time to post/watching during games, but just wanted to see what the vibe is on here now the we are well out of the realm of getting into the post season
in flow-chart form and send them snail mail to Soth in order for him to do that Matt. Also make sure you mention the word “clutch” a lot and if you have to mention a stat make sure it’s CERA.
This team looks like my beloved Angels, hitting, hitting with RISP, stealing a base or two. I love it! But the question is who are these guys and how to we keep them around?
well, you see, it's not a landline because they don't dial a number to reach the bullpen
it’s a permanent line, and I meant fixed as in attached to the wall, and, when all is said and done, it was a perfectly legitimate and understandable question.

You said that thread, implying one. You should have said those threads.

He'd make a hell of a cricket player though, I'll tell you that.

In what way?
UK Halo - September 5, 2010
My older daughter has the same gray World Series T-shirt that old guy was wearing.

Apparently he has it now.
ChargerBill - September 5, 2010
That was quite the failure, Reginald.
red floyd - September 5, 2010
Reggie and Jeffee must have switched bodies this inning.
sheisalovelyladyandmyapologiestoher - September 5, 2010
No, that was just Reggie muscular atrophy showing up.

Will Reggie be showing up at Jerry's telethon today?

Two outs.

At least Howie didn't throw it away.

Howie grabbed that ball at midfield.
sheisalovelyladyandmyapologiestoher - September 5, 2010
But he called for a fair catch.

that wasn't a very good punt then.

Yabut you gotta consider that the Arson Squad comes in soon.
red floyd - September 5, 2010
especially since you'll be at home and your fans would LOVE to see a win at home.
angelsfan7 - September 5, 2010
I would so pinch-run right here
Why not get another guy in scoring position?
mattwelch - September 5, 2010
If you run in a blowout, they throw behind your back, then you charge the mound, then the 1st baseman knocks your lights out
It’s a whole complicated process.
UK Halo - September 5, 2010
you are going to need to put those thoughts
in flow-chart form and send them snail mail to Soth in order for him to do that Matt. Also make sure you mention the word “clutch” a lot and if you have to mention a stat make sure it’s CERA.
MH252525 - September 5, 2010
also attach a 50 buck gift cad to Little Maggioanos
and you’ll get his undivided attention on your letter.
MH252525 - September 5, 2010
Time to be non-premium and not pressure the D here, Mikey
red floyd - September 5, 2010
That was premium.
Did you see how Little Mikey pressured the D there?
red floyd - September 5, 2010
Aybar pressured the defense too
~MMP~ - September 5, 2010
Yabut, Mikey saved an out by doing it.

no, but he was a friend of mine.

I thought that was Jeremiah
red floyd - September 5, 2010
No he was a bullfrog

That's right.
Twas a little bit before my time. I should google the lyrics.

Jeremiah was a bullfrog

Never understood a single word he said
But I helped him drink his wine

Or learn how to bounce the slider.
mattwelch - September 5, 2010
Forget the curveball, Ricky! Throw him the heater!
red floyd - September 5, 2010
that's the thing though
he wants his fastball to be up a bit because thats where it’s hardest to hit, so a lot of the same sliders thrown at that level are very hittable.
MH252525 - September 5, 2010
Gubi can tell you all about eye levels.
sheisalovelyladyandmyapologiestoher - September 5, 2010
stop throwing that pitch - guys are hitting it.
angelsfan7 - September 5, 2010
never quite understood throwing crap
when you can throw 99 mph. Percy threw 95% fastballs for like 7-8 years.
MH252525 - September 5, 2010
but I'm not premium like our catcher
so good pitch selection Jeffy
MH252525 - September 5, 2010
Apparently Bengie wasn't premium either.
Calling for fastballs instead of nibbling.
red floyd - September 5, 2010
Is that on Soth, Butch, Mercado, or Soliz?
red floyd - September 5, 2010
Larish... His uniform looks rather GARISH

Good show, Reginald. Advancing the runner.

Ten bucks says, Skip will mention Mathis' performance during the postgame interview.
And then he’ll cough.
sheisalovelyladyandmyapologiestoher - September 5, 2010
Ok what is going on here?
This team looks like my beloved Angels, hitting, hitting with RISP, stealing a base or two. I love it! But the question is who are these guys and how to we keep them around?
kbrown2225 - September 5, 2010
duct tape?

Dirty bug!

Do bullpens have the last remaining fixed phones in the world?
UK Halo - September 5, 2010
What do you mean by "fixed"?
opiejeanne - September 5, 2010
attached to the wall?
red floyd - September 5, 2010
I think he means 'corded'
ladybug - September 5, 2010
fixed [fikst]
–adjective
1. fastened, attached, or placed so as to be firm and not readily movable; firmly implanted; stationary; rigid.
UK Halo - September 5, 2010
whatever Brit
ladybug - September 5, 2010
I think we call them land lines here, and that's what I thought you meant,.
but I was making sure you weren’t referring to a “hotline”.
opiejeanne - September 5, 2010
well, you see, it's not a landline because they don't dial a number to reach the bullpen
it’s a permanent line, and I meant fixed as in attached to the wall, and, when all is said and done, it was a perfectly legitimate and understandable question.
UK Halo - September 5, 2010
no one is knocking your legitimate and understandable question
ladybug - September 5, 2010
Ah, then you were referring to the "hotline" not the land line.
In answer to your question, I have no idea if the White House still has that set of special phones.
opiejeanne - September 5, 2010
yeah
UK Halo - September 5, 2010
We had one at the last house, and may get one here.
And we were in the UK this spring and everyone had them, not to menion phone booths. I had to explain the concept to a small child recently.
opiejeanne - September 5, 2010
Added for clarification:
we had a phone that was fixed to the wall. We did not have a phone that was a hotline.
opiejeanne - September 5, 2010
We call them "wallphones" here.

we finally brought up a legitimate bullpen arm, nice piece for next yr. Its time to see what Conger has.
The Blake Griffin Era - September 5, 2010
Conger was a much inferior hitter to Peter Bourjos this year in AAA
mattwelch - September 5, 2010
Actually, with his recent hot streak, he's pretty close
And he’s a year younger. Still, it’s premature to expect him to hit ML pitching in 2011.
mattwelch - September 5, 2010
the new ones always start out hot
it’s staying hot that is the issue

mattwelch - September 5, 2010
Ran about a mile, waved off Chupa, and dropped the basket catch.
red floyd - September 5, 2010
Running an out pattern.
Pass lofted gently over his left shoulder about 20 yards deep. Looks back into the sun. Ball hit him square in the hands and he drops it.
Stirrups - September 5, 2010
Hey, maybe he was looking at the end-zone instead of the ball.
red floyd - September 5, 2010
Flyball into shallow left, Abreu was playing Cust really deep so Aybar had to go after it. Went off the heel of Aybar's glove
~MMP~ - September 5, 2010
fail
he went running back, tried to do a basket catch and missed it
ladybug - September 5, 2010
went deep out towards left field, would have been a great play if he had held on
UK Halo - September 5, 2010

Worse than Mathis, isn't he?

I've never trusted him. Never.
I’ve watched him blow too many easy plays, which is really annoying when you think about some of the spectacular plays he’s made.
opiejeanne - September 5, 2010
he cant get a bunt down when it matters most
why trust him to do anything else?
he’s one of arte’s favorites though, he’ll get the mathis treatment until he retires
