Come on guys...

please?

ugh

This team… ugh

remember.

2011…

core of really good, young, (hopefully) motivated players and all of the dead wood gets thrown into the fire and burned to ashes.

Why the hell isn't Napoli catching now?
defensive specialist

HA!

So Mathis replaces Napoli
Putting in Cassevah is like Mike saying

I give up…

Never fear, Angels fans

Soth’s savior is now behind the plate.

Napoli is out

and Mathis is in…in an extra inning game

hahahahahahaha

so our future closer and the guy who shouldnt be a closer

both sucked tonight

and we made game winning outs on the paths

yesssssssssss

Story of this season...really
At least Walded struck guys out
where is Conger and Trumbo.

This team sucks.

They're not here to play

They’re here to ride the pine and learn how to be premium players.

maybe the suckfest will last long enough he will have to put both of them into the game...?!
Bye guys. Gotta go cook something at the daughter's house.

Will be keeping track on the phone.

have a good one Opie
whatcha making?
Pork chops

She’s cooking for us, as it turns out.

Bwahahahahahahahahaha!

My God this team SUCKS

Y'all really think KMo is enough to make this team decent?

Really? Really?

We want Crawford

We want Crawford

it's gonna take alot more that Crawford

to get this team back in the playoffs

Crawford would be amazing for both the offensive and defensive side of the ball.

So the FO will fail to sign him and instead get Aubry Huff or some shit.

Crawford will sign with the Yanks or Sox probably

for like 150 mill way more than he is worth.

Sure, sign him

And then get ready to let Weaver and/or Kendry go when Boras takes them into FA without negotiating an extension.

That is a guarentee

Regardless of us signing Crawford

We would've been closer to .500 anyway
two seasons ina row their bubble has been burst

being pros they shouldn’t let it happen and overcome such obstacles, but it seems to have happened.

I only watch to see this team invent fun/interesting ways to lose.
came to the right freakin' place!
you must be easily entertained.
ps...I would replace the word "lose" with the word "fail!"
pAthetic

get used to it boys and girls

Unfortunately you're right

If we don’t make the right moves in the offseason then we are looking at a repeat of this performance in 2011

At least by now when the Angels do something awful it doesn't make me upset.

It’s more like “well, of COURSE they just did that. Were we expecting anything else?”

Quote from Major League

Harry Doyle: In case you haven’t noticed, and judging by the attendance you haven’t, the Indians have managed to win a few here and there, and are threatening to climb out of the cellar.

my favorite is

we won one yesterday
if we win today thats two in a row
if we win tomorrow… thats called a winning streak it has happened before- Lou Brown
it basically sums up this season

Please Rev, we need some more cussing quota.
cussing isn't going to help
no, but it *will* help us feel better
but cussing does ease the pain,

see mythbusters

how bout distruction theropy?
anybody see that block

mAthis!!1

A prEmium stop on the ball in the dirt
hahahahahahahahaha..........

Napoli out, Jefffffuckin Mathis in!

I would have never guessed that move. Soth, you truly are thu mahn in cherge.

Where’s Kendry?????

Now that Mathis is behind the plate...

(fill in)

am I hearing things?

or does Victor sound like he has a hard on every time he talks about Mathis?

Soth got him with his brainwashing machine
Victor was signed on to be the homer of our suckass team for the foreseeable future
Nice

we can still lose this thing

Now that there's a PREMIUM passed ball

Luckily his lack of bulk makes him faster chasing it down.

This is how i feel about the Angels right now

Harry Doyle: That’s all we got, one goddamn hit?
Assistant: You can’t say goddamn on the air.
Harry Doyle: Don’t worry, nobody is listening anyway.

hahahahahah yes
I don't blame Mathis

NObody could stop those things Cassevah is throwing…

Victor callin joe west out

i like it

for what

not having a neck?

for bein a little crybaby

and throwing his mask

Indians Announcers were doing the same thing

rightfully so

seriously

Selig needs to call Joe WEst out for being a FUCKING ASSHOLE

hurry up

West is HUNGRY

He should have thought of that while Rodney was pitching.
Hey Joe, call the batter out on strikes in the 9th and this game was over an hour ago...

don’t go getting your panties in a bunch cuz the players are doing their thing!

got out of it

Cassevah – that is Latin for “Smoke and Mirrors”

Nice........New nickname?
Famous Jean Gavin line ...

" Take me to the Cassevah "

oh boo hoo Joe West

quit yer bitching you could be reffin a Yanks Sox game which is like 30 seconds in between every pitch. and premium D by Callaspo.

to his credit

he called them on that bullshit and then got reprimanded

Right here pinch hit

Mark Trumbo for Rivera.

Heck, I'd pinch hit the ticket lady from the side gate for Rivera
Victor acting like he isn't getting OT for this game

reminds me of the LB Armada play by play guy—any game that went over 2.5 hrs was “Broadcaster Unfriendly”

Angels are 0
Rivera got robbed
Lol

We have no luck ever. Nice catch though.

WTF When did the Indian have rocket up his ass?

Harry Doyle: He’ll need a rocket up his ass to catch that one; that baby’s out of here.

Trumbo woulda hit it out
Johnny's act is getting tired.
Torii: "I could have been at Target Field in the middle of a pennant race. FML."
how many extras before we lose this thing?
At least 3 more
that's a very funny post .
torii

“i remember when I could do that… now pay me my 18 mil”

More like pay me a million for every CS.
The Angels organization doesn
wow, really? unlucky
Mathis on fence, watching the game... napoli in the dugout, laughing...

papa sosh sees all.

Bourjos sucks!
i like Bourjos..

if he’d hit a HR we’d all be sayin he’s awesome.

I like him too I was just messing.
Without him Cleveland would have won the game.
I don't know which is worse

watching this trAinwreck or having to do the dishes instead of this torture

you could double the fun

and watch the game while you do the dishes.

Dishes don't allow passed balls or daydream on the basepaths.

I’d stick with them.

eating on paper plates in 2002
That inning was full of robbery
At least losing was more fun when it was the Anaheim Angels

ANA: L

Yeah, Im like 4, get over it.

I don't get it.
Well you see, when a boy loves a girl

and buys her new diamond earrings….

And its his birthday

And anniversery

And he begs a lot…..

ANAL! now is LAAL!
what about when Colon was our pitcher...

haha! I remember there was an OC Register headline about “Colon getting pounded”

Ha yeah

Or the Classic:

Johnson shines, Colon Collapses in pounding.

I miss O'Sullivan

We’d still suck, but he could take your mind off it with his dancing.

Wood would have scored on the wild pitch...probably anyone but Collapso woulda scored...

maybe even Godzirrahhh

With our luck tonight

Matsui’s knees would have exploded five steps away from third base instead.

or he would have celebrated after he scored

and then his knees would have exploded.

would anyone have noticed?
Time for another 2 our rally

for Cleveland.

Please, no low throws to first
i just ate a baconator.
how's the colon?
preparing for imminent disaster.
Johnson shines, Colon Collapses in pounding.
Clogged

As when Nap is on base

Did your heart explode?
my heart is on pause rignt now.
It's just a bad baseball season

No reason to commit suicide.

I just snorted mini sirloin burgers.
Is that the one from the Jack in the Box commercial
My 11 year old cousin

can make a better throw than Willits just did…

Every time I see Willits shot put a throw from the OF

it reminds me of Eckstein.

I think everyone except Willits and Juan Pierre throw out the runner there
don't forget Damon/Jesus
I would give Damon a 50/50 shot there
Rivera wouldn't have thrown him out either

he would have just walked over and picked it up and casually thrown it to 3rd.

christ is this inning still going on?
Hey did anyone get the pitch count right?

I was only about 40 off

nope...I missed by 2 and someone else missed by 1

presuming final count from GD of 88 was correct

Damn--almost nailed it bro

you would have had like 8 zillion points

...another prEmium stop by Mathisn't
For all the talk about finding new ways to lose a game

I think we already took the world record in that when K-Rod dropped the return throw from the catcher way back when.

ha I remember that.
That was a classic
Wow

I remember that game. Day game against Oakland, right?

Oakland yes, not sure about day game

I think it was in the evening.

Day game - I was watching the game while on vacation in Cambria
Yep, I remember where I was, too

In the Bay area listening to the Oakland feed

I stand corrected

Tried to forget that game; maybe it worked.

Cassevah couldn't find the ball

then almost throws it away, good grief…..

I thought Cassevah was gonna throw the ball away
Does anybody know what happened with the umps before the game?

Sorry, just got here, but someone said there was a bit of a thing between the umps and the radio broadcasters outside the stadium today.

Yesterday

Biggsy was talking about it with Juan Tolentino (Spanish Halos announcer) on the pregame show on the radio; they were under the hats yesterday and one of them took a shot at Joe West. During the break two guys walked up and started talking s*** to them like they wanted to fight, and then walked off calling them “idiots.” They looked up the guy later and found out it was Angel Hernandez.

interesting...do you think anyone will do anything about it?
can't touch the umpire mafia
I doubt it

at the moment it’s all just hearsay and hot air.

Why am I still watching this trash?

Do I hate myself that much?

You really want to see the Willits walkoff blast
You can't do a write-up/commentary

if you don’t see it all….

Nah, you're just like the rest of us

Gluttons for punishment.

It's called addiction

Like alcohol, drugs…nothing good comes of it

Oh, I don't know

Raymond Chandler did his best work drunk.

this is going to a looong night
NO DP NO DP NO DP
torii is going to try and steal second
He won't have the chance since they are IBB Callaspo
Thankfully they're removing that option for him
Please, no

Anyway, he knows his run doesn’t matter

(joke)

and no, he really doesnt.

IBB for Callaspo, Mathis better not bat here
You know Scioscia is going to want "defense" if the game keeps going

Which it most likely will if Mathis bats, a self-fulfilling prophecy.

You're kidding right?

Soth thinks his ideal man is up.

Oh great! Mathis?
maybe he'll get back to how he was in the 09 postseason..

but its not likely.

Why anybody with arms isn't being used as a pinch hitter right now

is way beyond me. This is the type of move that makes you think Soth doesn’t want to win.

Let Hatcher PH for him!
That double-switch looks brilliant now
It's Premium Time

Pardon me while I use my non-HH profanity allowance.

I can't believe Mathis gets this much playing time

I feel like this is just one horrible nightmare.

Why not pinch hit Hank Conger?
Because Conger isn't premium
Just don't make two outs Jeffee!
Luckily it was just one
FUCK YOU MATHIS
My thoughts exactly
Well I wonder if someone is for him to be getting this much playing time

Gssh….

At least it wasn't a DP
What in the blue hell was that!?
FUCK YOU MATHIS!!!! JAMF
Hahahahahahahahahahahahah

what a joke

Jeff Mathis leads the universe in pop-ups
HAHA

Fucking premium!

Aybar!

Ugh. We have too many of these no offense clones.

Hahaha

Didn’t see that coming….NOT

Was Soth so desperate for a botched squeeze he couldn't wait for Aybar to do it instead?
can we please let them swing the bat Mike?
Conger can catch too.
WTF he should have been pinch hitting in that situation
2 outs bases loaded and Aybar tries to bunt
It's allright guys

Soth obviously knows what he’s doing with Mathis right? (So says the zombies that attack anybody for even questioning Soth).

some dumb motherfuckers on this team

and the ones that aren’t dumb, just suck

Why does Moreno supposedly like Aybar?
Maybe because he never takes any game seriously?

He’s always playing grabass with the opponents when they land on second base? I’ve never seen that guy have any desire in his eyes, I hate him :(

Does anyone remember the last time Aybar did anything other than make an out at the plate?
I heard he knows his way around a hot dog bun.
Tribe!

Please score a run in the 12th and put us out of our misery!

Maybe if Mathis fails at Soth ball enough times

then Scioscia will realize that he is not premium.

Then again, maybe pigs DO fly.

Hasn't he failed more than enough already?
That will happen the day

When DOV makes a thought provoking post

Okay FUCK this garbage

I’m leaving now. Going to find something else to watch whether they win or not. Have a good night fellas!

I wish I understood why Mike does what he does

because in the absence of this knowledge, I can only conclude that he WANTS TO LOSE.

holy crap............

just effin pathetic

i love the desperation of the bunt with the bases loaded

from a fucking sub .500 team

Just think, we have another decade or so of Soth being under contract

-Washed up veterans playing too long
-Ironclad bullpen slots
-Premium players all the way

Enjoy your Sothball, everyone!

Just got home from work to see Lil Jeffy pop up a bunt with the bases loaded and 1 out...

Thought was I watching the comedy channel for a second.

What makes you think you aren't?
good point...

this channel isn’t as funny as the other one though. I should change it but somehow I can’t?

We did everything we could to get out of the 11th without scoring
Time to Kohntribute
Much to our Kohnsternation, this game is continuing.
Kohnsidering how he has pitched this season

No reason for us to Kohnplain. Good move.

MAAAAAATHIIIIIIISSSSSS
That last inning represents this season in a nutshell

Bases loaded… one out… need just one run in to win the game.

And….. we…… can’t ….. do ….. it

Haha man, the classic Angels loading the bases with 0 to 1 outs and getting no runs out of it.
Choo gets KOHN'D!!!!
Country Joe West must be getting hungry by now
He was hungary several innings ago

Now he’s famished

He's not quite as big as that

Slovakia, maybe, but not Hungary.

you sure he didn't eat Bobby Wilson for a snack in an earlier inning?

This could on all night then.

I wish he would eat Mathis
I can't believe the day would finally come that I would actually want Quinlan to hit over anybody

But Jeff Mathis, you’ve pulled it off. Even Quinny could have hit a goddamn fly ball into the outfield.

i hope this game goes on forever
OK, I emptied the dishwasher

AND reloaded. I did my share and yet the trAinwreck lives on

C'Mon everybody, be excited Kohn's in the game!
Just waiting for him to finish the inning so I can show him the proper appreciation
When will this game ever Kohnclude?
In the wake of a mathis failure

lets not forget how horrible aybar is at baseball.

I'm pretty sure even Aybar has a better OPS than Premium Boy
Aybar, Rivera, and Mathis

When all three of them are in the lineup, it’s easy to see why the Angels are where they are

who the F would even go to this game?

wed 4pm start, shitty club vs shitty club

Nobody came to the game
I still have all 4 of my Mini U Storage ticket vouchers

This is one of the games on the voucher list. That’s all I can think of.

i guess I would have gone – but I went to the horrible game last night instead.

KK
KKohn is our best reliever!
KKOHN'D The evidence is inKOHNtriverertable
Kohntain your excitement Halowood
these are getting reall Kohrny

i had to tweek it a little

INNING KOHNPLETE
See Rodney? That's how you do it.
He's in the shower - not seeing a thing
KOOOOOOOOOOHN!!!

Someone’s a success on this team for once.

I'm going to miss Kendrick being in a dozen hilariously awkward Howard's ads once they deal him off for pennies on the dollar
Kohn should pinch hit for Mathis.
Haren!
I think Haren could pitch hit also for Aybar and probably Rivera
Hey, Rivera got robbed of a HR earlier.

Not going to disagree with you on the others.

I should have hit for Mathis
no put a real hitter in

matt palmer

That fat guy in the stands behind home plate

should pinch hit for Mathis

I'm pretty sure if they'd dug up Jimmie Reese, fungo bat and all

he would have done better.

Get that godamned monkey off my TV screen!
I'm so Kohnfused
Tony Sipp

His name reminds me of George Zipp.

His middle name is "Hava"
Anyone else think Roger Lodge is a serious douchebag?
Don't say his name!

The minute you do, a hundred more 714tickets ads with him singing are made.

i wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find a woman like that?
No

Annoying, maybe, but not a douchebag. His producer kinda is, though.

It's kind of like watching this game...

…I listen to him in the morning, but I don’t know why. He’s really horrible.

I only know who he is from the commercials.

  and they suck balls

I like some of his regular guests
I really liked Dave Smith when he was his partner.

gave roger some credibility. maybe that’s why they let Dave go.

It was money.

They couldn’t afford his salary.

i think he should hit for mathis
andrew siciliano is a douchebag.
So which reliever will blow it?
You're looking at him warming up now
not fair, you guys can see him

  Terry often is more interested with plugs than actual game information.

That's not fair.

Darren Chan plunks those in front of him, and he has to read them. They help pay the bills.

It;s fair if I am stuck hearing them all season long.

    Besides, we know they made millions . . . what’s that about FAN strong?

Frankie version 2

AKA Grand Slam server-upper

the recent version, but Bulger is the true slam giver.
tony sipp

haha yeah right

Jepson, no wait , uh Rodney. v yah, uh BULGER!
Francisco Rodriguez.
This would be an ideal time to get Trumbo and Conger into the game.
This would be an ideal time for Reggie to hit a walkoff HR
It's gonna happen eventually
hes waiting for the playoffs, ala ozzie smith.
PLAYOFFS

were talking about PLAYOFFS?!?!?!

Conger or Trumbo soon?
yeah conger or trumbo need to come in

its not like we could expect any less from this offense

Reggie working the walk again
so who blew the 3-2 lead anyway?
Rodney
yeah but west kinda screwed him

and those were some weak ass hits

rodney

walden gave up a dong in the 7th too

They were afraid to pitch to Reggie there, didn't want him getting that HR
Willits' first ever HR...I can see it now

Hits a popup, a hawk mistakes it for food, grabs it, and then drops it over the fence.

lol, THAT would be awe!some!
Well anything is possible!
it could happen.
That still wouldn't get coverage

on ESPN

Sadly, you're absolutely right

…unless it was on the Not Top 10 Plays of the Week.

It would if it was against the Red sox. "see what bad luck the Sux have had this season."
Heads down baserunning.
that's how good basestealers do it.
thats the kinda year its been

chance to have a runner on third
but the little guy dives

shit, it sure is better than getting thrown out at third.
Nice to see the Tribe's catcher is just as premium as ours
finally some conservative baserunning
and a nice conservative fly out.
If Mathis comes up to bat again, I will say something I've never said before.
"There is no God?"
The tension is building

What could it be?

"I enjoy the company of men?"
"Hand me that plutonium"?
"mmm, donuts"

or was that “beer?”

Okay, I give up...I'm so outtahere...

This is little league baseball and I am thankful I didn’t buy tickets for this 2010 September bullshit…cuz it smells a LOT like the July and August bullshit!

GAME OVER

Francisco in

Frankie 2?

But the bases aren’t loaded! How will he cope?

What happened to frandsen?
Matsui was going to PH for him, and then they brought in a lefty, so Howie came in to PH
They pinch hit for him
There is a fierce competition going on

To see whose offense is the most inept

I don't recall seeing two of their hitters pop up BUNTS with the bases loaded
I could see the Mariners and Angels looked up in 0-0 "pitchers duel" going into the 13th
Funny how this game was on record pace to get over.....through 7 in

NOW………..it seems like it wont end.

.... like this season
this is revenge on Joe Wilson for that bad call in the 9th.
Joe Wilson = Congressional "You lie" bozo

Joe West = Fatass umpire bozo

No electioneering!
You mean Joe West?
The volleyball in cast away?
dang. tired. got to stop typing....
It won't end

Because these teams f**king suck

Only 165 days, until pitchers and catchers report to Tempe
They might as well head off there now and beat the traffic
can't get here quick enough
He's getting a butt chewing
Yep, I saw him motioning towards the dugout. I'm guessing it was the "Throw strikes or else" conversation.
"Hurry up and blow the game! My postgame spread is getting cold!"

That lasagna ain’t gonna eat itself.

Looks like Mike wants to slug FRod.
He told him "Don't you make my premium catcher, Jeffy, look bad out here!"
whats soth saying

“listen franky
are you trying to hurt jeff
you could tear his arm out
then how would he pop out
did mike put you up to this?”

Ya think Papa Sosh was chewing out the pitcher for making his premium catcher look bad?
I miss Robb Quinlan
Rodney wouldn't have blown the save if we still had Q
I miss having real hitters in the lineup
oh come on....this is no damn time for a wild pitch
fuck you jeff

that was my swear for august by the way

Didn't we see this the last time Mathis caught a game
we see it every time Mathis catches
I sure wish I knew what Soth's definition of "premium" is. I really just don't have a clue.

All I can say is, I hope he doesn’t push for more premium players to be on the roster next year.

I think it means

that Mike thinks Jeff’s a cracker.

Any fan still at this game deserves a medal. Or metal. For their mettle.
The Giants used to give out a Candlestick medal for sitting in the cold so long

What would ours be, a pile of cow chips?

A bronzed rat?
a bronzed banana
Hey, Watch it
He didn't say a bronzed LanaBanana...
Rats are survivors

It would be an insult to them.

Well, so are the fans who stayed.
I meant associating this year's team with rats would be insulting to the rats.
a jeff mathis bobblehead
A snuggie medallion?
A Disney era jersey signed by Mo Vaughn
Don't they still wiped down the seats with those?
We can Lose this

trAdition

a walk? sweet

really

wonderful

did palmer gain weight?
Hung out with P-Mac in the minors.
They probably tried to eat each other
+1

Well done (or rare, depending on how they did it).

I know the Angels have an AED (automatic external defibrillator) in the dug out

They may need it tonight for Soth or Joe West

P A L M E R

its taken expanding to the 40 man to get up here? Dude has been killin in AAA… we could have used him when this season still mattered…awhile ago.

The way F-Rod wears his hat reminds me of the comic strip character Andy Capp
At least Andy Capp was funny.
this IS the comedy channel ya know!
Some of their wacky baserunning could be put to funny music and sound effects
Benny Hill makes everything funny
Why did they cut Stokes?

We could have used him tonight. Joe West would have been in a food coma by now.

This is one of the guys the FO evaluated as better than DOD, who of course is All star caliber in a hitters park.
wow

he got out of it

well,,,

going to 14 for sure now.

This guy has such an issue with finishing off innings
If we don't score now, the game is in Matt Palmer's hands.
He IS a former double-digit game winner
I think this must be what it's like to watch paint dry...

…or grass grow. With intermitten commercials.

The 10 fans left at the Big A

Disagree

Wow, they're really prolonging it tonight.

Maybe this is the moment where they win this game through a long struggle and take such momentum out of it that they win every other game this season, including taking the Rangers for 7, and then sweep their way to the World Series.

Hey, a boy can dream, and hey, it could happen, right Gubi?

Nah. Unless all remaining games were against Seattle.
or baltimore

oh… wait…

they almost just swept the Skanks
As long as they take it one game at a time.
And turn the page when necessary.
we are getting a hit once every 2.6 innings
is it time for one right now?
can trumbo or conger please pinch hit
Shit. Abreu hit that one hard
A tired swing
Was that a typo? A tire swing or a tired swing?
Tired.

I didn’t think his heart was in it

Torii is going to win this one.

      TORII>>>!

yeah like against baltimore

oh wait

For the Indians in the 18th inning when he drops a fly ball
wow...so this is what being a mariners fan

feels like

Can we send Jeffy to ride with the Subway biker gang?

Maybe then Soth will recoil in horror and go back to playing Napoli.

oh man....if this game is still going on by the time I have to go home at 9pm.......

thats just sad.

by the way, how did Jordan Walden look tonight?
IIRC all those innings ago

1 inning, 1 HR allowed, 3K

AWESOME. except for a solo shot. 3 K's
k'd i think

gave up a bomb to make it 3 2

Other than the HR, looking good

Hopefully he can be a piece to the bullpen puzzle next year.

The only thing I can think f to make this game worse...

….is if John Garland came in to pitch. With men on base. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

oh man, I remember those days.
I pitch every 2 minutes...
Who was worse, Garland or Steve Trachsel?
a collective scream
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Geez, Victor.
He'll have to check his Depends after that one.
LOL Victor got WAYYYY too exited for a Torii Huter fly out to RF
he wants this game over so bad

hed scream for a willits fly ball right now

When do they stop serving beer?
Like 3 hours ago
oh that sucks.

   I dont think I could still watch this game .. .

5 or 6 innings ago, I think
only when you're in Hell
I expect the High Life guy to come in and take away all the beer there.

“You all play like little league babies. This ain’t no place for the High Life”

that would be funny
he'd take away our beer over the monkey.
Jesus Christ the game is still on?

I thought after AcaDeca and math HW it’d be done

Game Highlights?

Homers by Napoli and Bourjos
Angels Suck

Indians Suck

And now it’s the 14th

Ahem...

Rodney sucks.
Jeffy sucks.
Aybar sucks.
The Indians CF played Spiderman with a Juancho HR.
Victor Rojas just wet himself over a long flyball.

Senior,

There are some things that just aren’t suitable for young guys such as yours.

eyes-guys, aww who the hell cares anymore!
I wish we still had Quinlan, so that he could pitch.
We've collected 5 hits in 13 innings. We're coming up on one hit every 3 IP, pathetic
I expect to see ads for the suicide prevention hotline.
800-273-talk(8255)
Matt Palmer time
There are kids still at the stadium?

Ring the parents up for child cruelty.

Nice to see him back
How many LOB?

Hi again

just tuning in

we’ve only given up 3 runs!!!!

you need to change your ID to "notheycan't"
Palmer will lose it
What the hell does it say about Angel fans when there's ads for Alladin's Bail Bonds?

Do they think we’re the Doyers?

this Angels season is a crime
And I wouldn't bother to bail them out
You'd think you'd see those at Doyer games.
MINOR LEAGUE UPDATE

Good news, the Quakes put up a 5 spot and are now leading 6-1 in their playoff game.

Whoa

Winning? What does that feel like?

call all of them up

send all of these losers down

Palmer is being hit VERY hard
Soth brought him in so he can go drown his sorrows in his desk drawer of Ho-Hos.
That's a bad stutter you have there.
palmer is so good
Can we win one for Mattie?
Has the Rally Monkey been retired for the year?
They showed him earlier.
He's been in a slump
He's worn out like an old rug
His agent wanted a better contract
Dear Palmer, you're not fooling anyone. Do something different.
i know what youre saying

but hes getting groundballs

I just got here and I'm bored.

Look for my Alto Sax lyre or continue killing brain cells with this game. . .

Use a tenor sax lyre instread.
Yeah, I need to either find my old one

or borrow someone who has an extra. I think a bass clarinet would work too.

Absolutely.
Heh, found it buried under some old music sheets.

…downside is I have to keep watching the game with nothing to distract me.

You'd have better luck finding the lyre than the Halos would finding a run tonight.
Juan tagged his foot
I think Rivera tagged his foot
I take it there's nobody left in the pen...

maybe Conger can pitch

Well Trumbo used to pitch
speaking of which

whos left on the bench/ in the pen

Palmer, stop being AWFUL
Ha Ha

Victor Rojas is online on facebook right now

haha he just accepted my friend request
Struggling to win 1 of 3 from Cleveland?

How low can you go???

Lose 6 of 6 from Baltimore

ohwait

We got swept by Baltimore

I’m pretty sure that WAS the low point.

There must be a virus in the bullpen

It prevents pitchers from quickly getting the third out

The Angels can just drag out the pitching machine when they run out of pitchers
Just back, heard the Jeff Mathis botched squeeze on the radio

was it pretty bad?

Wow, there is seriously nobody sitting in my section
you might be easy to spot on teevee then!

where are you siting?

at home. couldn't do it this week.
Palmer gets very lucky
Mathis up first!!! WOOHOO!!!
pinch hit conger

than a 2 run trumbo bomb to let the old guard know their days are numbered

scioscia would flip his wig
please please oh please
Do you recall who's managing?
Premium lead off hitter. The Tribe stands no chance.
Mathis walkoff HR right now.
c'mon Angels let's end this now with a W please.
The only "W" that applies to most of the players on this team is "Washed-Up"
Merciful God

Please give us a Conger pinch-hit appearance.

Can't risk anymore Palmer

If we don’t win it this inning, we’re toast

Mathis Rivera and Aybar

this should be a quick inning

Holy shit Mathis is actually batting again
double up on buttercup

please no

worst idea ever

song should be banned from any ballpark

ok I promised I would sya something if Mathis bat again
FUCK YOU MIKE SCIOSCIA!!! YOU BIAS FUCKING TURD, EAT SHIT.
For some reason this reminds me of Divine and Pink Flamingos
Yes

We are waiting…..

other than "Fuck no, not again"?
Take me home from the ball game
just singing along with the TV
HAHA Goobi said a double dose of buttercup!
Halowood promised to say something he'd never say if Mathis came up again

It is time to reveal

2 helpings of Buttercup?

How much further to rock bottom?

Roger Lodge singing Buttercup
mathis is in a brandon wood like hole
maybe he gets HBP

only way i see him getting on base

Well he could have struck out swinging and the ball could have rolled to the backstop
aaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Pretty soon the stands will be so empty

… that when a foul ball is hit into them, it’ll take 10 minutes before anyone gets there to pick it up

hahahahahhahahahahhahahahah

thats just too funny

ahahahaha

premium fail

HA HA HA HA HA HA , Terry got excited.
Victor getting a bit punchy
Rojas keeps jizzing in his pants over every fly ball.
Wow, Victor wanted that
The more I see of this game the more I'm glad I'm at home instead of the ballpark

Between 2 playings of Buttercup, Jeffy batting, and Rodney blowing I’d have had a Howard Beale moment, rushed the field and done a Gaby Sanchez clothesline on someone by now.

oh my god control yourself rojas...
Marine layer...
damn you victard
^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^^ is Funny
Premium Jeff, just fucking Premium...

Is Victor drinking too much coffee?

He is busy on facebook right now
Geez Victor wanted that one BAD
wow victor calm down
OMG VICTOR IS SO EXCITED THAT MATHIS MADE CONTACT
HAHA Mathis got all of it.
Can we make history in this game?

What is the least number of hits in 14 inning game?

ha ha ha

oh man that would have been tooooooo much…

you have to ask yourself

does conger hit that ball out?

i don't have to ask myself

i know he does, you know he does, he knows he does, but Soth… Friggin Soth don’t know he does.

Of course

Which is why he wasn’t at the plate.

Conger hits a homer a long time ago
Mathis made contact, so Scioscia feels he's easily worth 5 million a year now.
How are we doing?
it's the bottom of the 14th and they SUCK....you know, the usuAl
Pretty much per usual
lets go chi chi balls!
Two Things

1. Don’t the Angels they are not getting paid overtime? 2. What a shitty game to be at when you would have to watch so long without beer.

yes, the beer part sucks.
walk off would have equaled

a 5 yr. extension for jeffy

we all dodged a bullet there
Can't watch another Aybar AB
Aybar is 0 for 6

guy needs a week off

September would be nice
Torii's second FML moment of the night
we should be wishing for a jeff mathis walk off

then soth would get scared of his offensive potential and bench him

Indians broadcast showed a women rocking a baby in her arms

Indians announcers joked that she was 3 months pregnant at the beginning of the game.

thats great haha
good thing I didn't have you get the boy

he overslept and missed the train!

uh oh

What happened then?

he found a friend

who drove him from CP to the airport in Detroit. Made the flight bythismuch

Now THAT is funny
sounds like more child support payments for Nap
Those are true fans there

They all look miserable, but they’re hanging in there nonetheless.

Funny hats and all
I wish I was there - really I do
We're worse

We all actually have things in our houses we could be doing instead.

You mean better!
peter goes deep twice?
It'll take four hits to score Juan.
and a stolen base
The way this guy is pitching it might be four walks instead.
How Sad

a game neither team wants to win

please pinch hit trumbo for willits

he can play left correct?

Here it is , hitters count
I have to ask again...

We must be close to history here, right? Has any team played a 15 inning game with 5 or less hits?

That would take some effort to find out
sigh....rookies.....
I love Pete, but WTF? bunt?
stop trying to bunt with 2 outs and runners on

PUSSIES!

Hat trick for Bourjos
We need "Dika!"
Any relation to "Ditka"?
One and the same.

Using the traditional midwestern prononciation.

Is that how you say "Hank" in Korean?
Could they just go ahead and cut away from this game to show "Heidi" ?
Trumbo and Conger please.
trout 1-3 so far. quakes up 6-4
The drama here is...almost breath-taking.
you mean it's killing you right?
you mean yawning, right?
after watching Mathis, nitrous oxide is breathtaking
14 innings, 5 hits

No Trumbo, no Conger, 2 Jeffy ABs. Soth has officially invented a form of torture worse than waterboarding.

Might need a PH for the 34th inning.
Hey now, we're still averaging over 1 hit per hour.

barely

Sad to see Bourjos has nothing going on upstairs, either.
Yeah, I don't get this.
bunting with 2 out, hitter count, willit on deck? seems like aybar-like
We have 5 hits in 15 innings

He is Einstein brilliant by Halo standards this year

Make that 14 innings but you get the point
If you're scoring at home....

You’re doing better than all of us.

cedar rapids won today as well 3-2

i can see a champoinship for rancho, cedar rapids and orem. all of our good talent is in the low minors

We are going to need an Extra-Extra Innings game thread
I don't know whether to be happy or sad that I apparently missed Gubi

“doing the Running Man to Buttercup.”

is it me or does joe west look fatter now than when the game started
He' beginning to feed in preparation for winter hibernation.
He rocks!

I just love Cowboy Joe West & The Four Chins!

I bet the Indians regret scoring now, they have to put up this shit
put up with this shit*
Oh

I thought you meant like putting up strawberry preserves or something.

Watching this game is like being constipated and sitting on the toilet just waiting for something to happen.
All 99 people in the crowd are getting restless
its like watching a marlins game
or the '99 Angels
Is it that many?
Maybe they can try to start the world's lamest wave.

Okay… ALL waves are lame.

They can do the two man wave from Major League.
if they had a beach ball they could start a 10 on 10 game in the stands
If the open f bomb limit was activated

This would go by quicker.

the analagys her e a r e fun ny
They stopped serving beer at the 7th...

I take it they opened it back up at the 14th?

Nope

All they opened up was the Buttercup mp3 file.

K K

The Big Bulge flexing.

i need sone pretzel m&m's
What inning are they in now?

The 15th?

What is that guy yelling in the background?
that was awesome, he sounded like he was from Mordor.
Seriously

Sounds like satan is heckeling

The game is hell even for him
Satan must be bored
START SELLING MORE BEER!!
the last remaining fan.
no wait its "youre fucking out" from eastbound and down hahaha
we just decided

to play our own day night double header

YES! Matt Palmer strikes out the side
THAT WILL GET HIM SENT DOWN TO AAA
Remind me why palmer has been rotting in AAA this entire season
because he doesnt throw 97 like jepson
MacAnulty filled up the fat guy quota first
he was inspiring too much winning in the minors

against the rules in the show

Injury, wasn't it?

Or at least part of the season

He was injured a large part of the time
animal cruelty

the poor monkey

is willits really gunna walk us off right now
Willits walkoff HR now
The Indians pitcher might be willing to groove one just to end this mess
A $2 bet would be worth $63 Billion
Now I remember why I hate the National League.
Rally Monkey attempt #3

I imagine the ASPCA is firing off a protest letter right about now.

victors going craazy

he just called a 92 mph fastball an offspead pitch
and he still believes that fransdens in the game

at least when Rex was stoned he was entertaining
Oh Mickey, please don't talk to Pete.
"Listen, kid. Pitch equals swing! It's foolproof!"
I wonder what our Manager of the Year is thinking
thinking he cant wait for another epic mathis ab
that was too easy.
gotta take the cheap ones sometimes
You've met my ex-wife?
hahaha

shesalovelyladyandmyapologiestoher

GET OUT STRETCH
i'd be stoked if this goes 20.
20 innings 6 hits

trAdition

Think they might give Stokes a call and see if he's not doing anything? We could use another pitcher at this rate
hit up speier while we're at it.
Yeah, make these gutless bastards play 25 innings!
but Billy Mac's girlfriend has a 9 o'clock curfew
ahahahah +1000000
it IS a school night!
Fans get 2 games for the price of 1!

Like going to a drive-in theater. Not sure which is the A or B game though.

Too bad it was a 4 PM start

If it did go 20 innings we could’ve gotten it suspended and prolonged the torture until tomorrow.

can we get a call to the bullpen...

for the announcers booth?

Okay, we have to have some kind of modern day record at hand

5 hits in 15…soon to be 5 in 16

I say we are at least top five all time futile extra inning combatants

Good news

We’re not leaving men on base!

weve had 2 in like the last 10

i think the longest pg was like 13 so we got while to go i think
we need to go like 10 more

Someone end this already.
Not until everyone watching this is dead
Cockroach baseball
If this team was a dog, it would have been put down hours ago.
Do you think any of these players still want to be playing?
Conger and Trumbo

Would like to start playing.

They have to be watching and thinking "This is the MAJOR leagues?"
tonight or the rest of the season?
i see it's Victor appreciation night
Nice, a kids camo hat night coming up

The better to fade into obscurity in.

that's one ugly hat
god forbid they have regular hat night.
I was half expecting it to be another frigging argyle one
it's a rehashed giveaway from the D Backs in 2007

I have one of those and they are really UGLY

Cleveland entered this game 3rd worst in the AL in ERA at 4.77...

…behind KC and Baltimore.

Hysterical laughter or hopeless crying? A

TrAdition
.

I guess we should be glad they are in the 16th and kinda fighting for it?

it’s not a flat out loss in the 9th

and their LOB is way higher than ours
Ya, I'm up with that
palmer is gonna go 9 innings
Mathis's CERA is plummeting

With all these scoreless innings.

That explains why he's still catching
Reverse Standings

http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/reversestandings/

Astros won today. If we lose, WE’RE MOVING ON UP!

Holy crap

The Freaking Astros are better than us?

rut roh
Brew Crew

Watch out Brewers, here we come!

Currently tied

At 66-73, which includes their win tonight. If our game ever ends, it’ll break the tie.

+1

or-1 i cant decide

at this point, we might as well make lemonade with oranges.
mix it with some rum or vodka and count me in!
Remove "some" with "lots of"
thats fer sure
Give it up for the fans!

They’ve still got a little fight in them.

"choo why do you bother"

wasn’t that funny.

gawd, I'm bored
Im playing a online game so its just entertainment
that guy is awesome!
Do we have any pitchers left
NOPE
Perfect

Bring in Jeffy and his premium arm to relieve Palmer and hope he has a Jose Canseco moment.

Shields claims to have an ouchie
we don't even have any hitters left
weaver mAthis b wood?
Has Bulger pitched?
what about chopper?
A ha!

Somebody is left!

Not since like 1974.
The only player in the park who doesn't care how long the game goes is up

If Choo doesn’t win a gold medal in the Asian Games he’s gonna have to serve in the Korean Army for a couple of years.

That is bullshit.

  Hes too good, and it’s not like its WW II

The only good thing about this game is watching that fatass Joe West have to work 16 innings!
That can't-get-the-third-out virus is still affecting the pitchers
This is getting stupid
WHY OH WHY can't the pitchers throw to first base?
Rodney blowing that save feels like a couple of games ago
thats because he also blew one a couple games ago
trumbo blocks that
Isn't this the part where Bud Selig is supposed to announce a forfeited tie for this game?
due to lack of interest?
THIS TIME IT MATTERS!
Rivera needs an appointment

with an optomitrist

damn it Jeff, you're supposed to make Palmer throw better!!!
no its dammit matt

now how is jeff going to throw the ball into center when choo steals

even the fans can't play this game
that guys catches like Rivera
those 3 guys shop at Lands End.
ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Palmer reacted like a fan catching a ball.
palmers like the fat kid holding up his cup cake in front of everyone
I got a cupcake, I got a cupcake!
That was fucking brilliant!

+1

the highlight of the 16th inning!
the fan (non)catch
Palmer's rocks the AAAA Heisman

Hilarious

the Los Angeles Angels of the Oakland Coliseum

major props to those 23 true believers still remaining

geez those people are champs
Almost a 5 hour game now
are they chanting torri or boring?
well, at least those staying are getting their money's worth---2 games in one
Hud wouldn't have minded that the game is so long

I miss the enthusiasm

+10000000000000
TORII TORII TORII!!!!
a slightly optimistic start
I guess the advantage would be the fans could pass gas freely and there is no one around them to notice.

Hey, one has to dig deep to find any benefit for being there at this point.

Now steal third!

Marginal situational advantage!

LOL!!!!!!!!!

  He is a junkie and has to get his fix

Don't try to stead 3rd Torii!
Double for Torii

Finish this, for the love of God, finish this!

Don't do anything stupid on the base paths.
You know he's looking to steal 3B...
hes like mike mike

the 3rd basemans in i can do it

wow, that is 2 sets of rechargable batteries given their life for this game.
mathis isnt coming up this inning right?
MEMO TO TORII : DO NOT NOW FUCKING STEAL 3RD!
A hit? A hit? Someone got a hit?

The wife turned off the game an inning ago, so I’m flying blind at this point.

Callaspo's new name per the hubby "dingledorf"
lead off double

have to do it here

Torii will get thrown out stealing 3rd
we don't do the rally cap, jerk-offs
Bell rocking the rally cap
Still.....
I would like to point out

That the Indians pitched a CGSO from innings 7-15.

Wow.

Just the one pitcher?

I think it was 7 pitchers
i think we need a new game thread
WTF is with the arms flapping?
Angels in the Outfield???
it could happen
did they say mathis in the hole

god no

Productive out
steal home, torii!
Jeff Mathis will somehow screw this up
another squeeze pop up?
if you cant get up for this AB...

well…

WILD PITCH BALK WILD PITCH BALK
Just a lousy fly ball
suicide squeeze sosh! It works every time!
Mathis will somehow GIDP
Wow! The Angels finally Win!
LIGHT UP THAT HALO!!!!!
MATHIS!
Time to sign him to that lifetime contract!
no way really?
bahahahahah

there is no justice.

He'll start the next 20 games
he just earned a 5 yr extension
premium player
don't break his leg, dammit
We win

Mathis to the rescue

They're gonna win it like last time

With a bunt

WE WIN!!!!!!!!!!
WHY SOTH WHY IS HE BATTING?????????????????????????

darthno.ytmnd.com

Like I said

He leads the universe in lazy fly balls.

What the fuck?

it is still going on?
How many pitches for Kaz?

80000000000000000
What'd Mathis do?
pop up to outfield

Torii tagged up and scored

omg give him Arb next yr
I don't know if I should be happy or fucking sad

That now Jeff Mathis will be playing for us for another 10 years.

well this is an interesting end to a game thread

certainly unique haha

Great...Another reason to

Not release Mathis….very Premium..

thanks for making it interesting, folks.
we scored?
It took 16 innings to beat somebody but we finally did it!
Or at least 34 innings--

However you want to look at it.

: (

We remain behind the Astros for Reverse Standings.

ThIS game was Awesome
