I've come to the realization that there is no way
I could root for the Slegna. To rip off Bill Simmons, the only way I could cheer them on is if Lackey was on the edge of a roof and someone started to yell “jump jump jump”.

Ya know, I never thought I'd say this,
but I think that, given my hatred for these two miserable buttloving teams, I would even root for the Yankees against either one of them…
Is that Embry warming up?....... NOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo!!!!!!!!!
i can't bear to watch these two teams
i just hate them both too much.
i’m watching the boise state football game on espn.

I seriously consider messing up the color on my set so that it resembles Green.

...But,
It would be so awesome to see the Rays beat one of these bunch of A Holes to get into the World Series though..

Even if the White Sox do win (tear) the ALDS
I still want them in teh WS over them Red Sux/Angels.
Now with 100% more Canuck.
Indubitably
But in that case we could hopefuly root for the Brewers.
Is that Embry warming up?....... NOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo!!!!!!!!!
Lester is considered a heartthrob up here in New England
Then again, so is pretty much every Red Sox player. Ugh.
Thank God Anderson's a terrible hitter or just imagine
how well he’d be doing!

I love how 2 or 3 times they have shown pitch track
on a 1 pitch at bat. Thanks for that you idiots, I couldnt figr out the progression myself.
"Camelot sure fell apart, didn't it?"-Steve McCatty
I like it when a hitter is referred to as
“a first pitch fastball hitter” – no really? I thought he might be one of those “third pitch changeup” guys.

I was just rereading Ball Four and Bouton says something like that.
Coaches would tell them about “a first pitch hitter”-let me know when he always swings at the sixth pitch…
And since I am complaining about this wonderful broadcast-they mentioned earlier that Aybar led Slegna in infield hits. Who the hell cares? Like it was his incredible strategy not to be strong enough to get the ball out of the infield.
"Camelot sure fell apart, didn't it?"-Steve McCatty
He's proud of his string bean arms.
And I think it’s more referring to the speed it takes to beat out an infield hit.
Notice how no one jusr reads "Ball Four"?
They’re always re-reading it. I’ve worn mine out.
I'm here to talk about the past.
amen
My copy was a Christmas present from when I was in the 8th grade. It usually gets a reread every spring. The front cover finally came off, which makes me think I may need to get a new copy for Christmas this year.

"Camelot sure fell apart, didn't it?"-Steve McCatty
Crazy thing about the beer...
I thought I drank my last one (out of two), but as I was putting leftovers away, I noticed a barely open twelve-pack on the bottom shelf? How in the hell did I miss that among the one tortilla, Tapatio, and sour cream?
I'm here to talk about the past.
It was hiding behind the Tapatio
with 2 limes on top to look like a set of ears.

Well, lucky for us then
that of the last 16 teams to win 100 games in a season, only the 1998 Yankees won the Series.

Typical Lucky Angels
a gift run.
They might hit Lackey if they swing at the first pitch instead of looking like morons and taking it.
Attack, attack, attack.
Gotta swing to score
May the Angels have only bad luck in the playoffs and anything bad goes as long as they lose, short of DEATH that is.
Hey, a first pitch fly out - much better! :-(
Yes, the Angels got lucky, but then again Hunter did have to get the hit and he did. Cust would have walked or struck out. Hannahan would have struck out or struck out.

It can be found in two easy steps:
Step 1: take a time maching back to 1974.
Step 2: go to your nearest Woolworth or Liberty House and saunter over to the young men’s section.

from some old TV show I used to see on TV Land or Nick at Nite but never watched.
Yeah.
I want to say her name is Cunningham, but that is WRONG.
But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.
Not even close - she was an infielder.

I realized I still have some flavor aid in my system
I think it is Al’s fault, and I really want him to take at least a small step back, but as he was speaking, I admit I found myself saying “well, hell, if Lane did that, we should kick him to the curb.”

I told her the crushing low is when you’re on the AN game thread posting about the playoffs when your team isn’t in them. But this is fun. Mostly!
Lester gets better as the game goes on
velocity was at 95 there.
I would bring in Papelbon for two innings.
Their middle relief cannot be trusted can it?
May the Angels have only bad luck in the playoffs and anything bad goes as long as they lose, short of DEATH that is.
Damn
Just missed that one

Tough call on who should pitch the bottom of the 8th
I don’t know that Papelbon pitching 2 IP is the best option. If not Paps, maybe Okajima to face Tex and then Delcarmen or Timlin to face Vlad and Hunter. Far from ideal.
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
He's kind of their Foulke - hey he used to be great!
Delcarmen has the stuff but you never quite know what you’re going to get with him. If Timlin’s not on the roster, I’d say don’t use him.

Looked up stats- Paps has only pitched 2 innings twice in 2008
Both Sox wins.
Both in extras.
Now with 100% more Canuck.
I'm guessing Francona will go with experience
and try to squeeze the entire 8th inning out of Okajima – with Papelbon ready for a 4-out save if things get dicey.

You enjoy this cat-and-mouse stuff, huh?
Seriously, no one on AN gets in a manager’s head more than you. I like when there’s a close game, just to read your thoughts. And I never laugh when you’re wrong.
I'm here to talk about the past.
Good thing...cuz I wuz!
I didn’t realize Masterson would get the call to set-up in a one-run game.

And yeah, I love it - I like to "manage" in real time
I never criticize a move if I didn’t have a different idea before it was too late for the manager to actually make the decision.

I remember you saying that you agreed
with most of Geren’s moves this year. I know how easy it is to manage from the sofa, but you seem to have a real sense.

Thanks - I try.

What are those red clapper things the Angels fans have?
Whatever they are, they’re probably better than Thunderstix.
Whoa, nice catch!
Good Jacoby!
If I don't comment on your comment how will you know you are completely wrong? -Rocktopus
Hunch
Teix will be worthless in the playoffs.
Monkeys will have given up Kotchman for quintessentially nothing.

GREAT PLAY!!!! WOW!!!!
What a game!!!

I had flash backs of Emil running the bases
Eveland rocks! Eveland rocks! Somewhere Drew Carey just smiled.
hahahahahaa got love those angels
and baserunning errors.
it was like watching Frank and his triple there hahaha
except he was safe… and.. yeah.
That's the double edged sword
Being agressive on the basepaths went a long way in getting them the best record over the regular season. But one mistake and it could be the first step toward getting knocked out of the playoffs.

The idea of taking risks is good -
but Vlad had no chance. You can’t force something that isn’t there.

Youk made an exceptional play to short hop it cleanly,
get up and make a strong throw. But if an offline throw can get you by 30 feet? Not a good risk.

I think he thought Youk would take longer getting it.
Youk made a nice stab at it to keep it with him. I think Vlad thought if he missed it he would have a chance. And as it was happening, I thought that might occur. But thats why you have a third base coach that you should watch.

Shields has not been good of late
and lets hope that continues with an insurance run or two
May the Angels have only bad luck in the playoffs and anything bad goes as long as they lose, short of DEATH that is.
What would the A's have to give up to get Lowrie?
The BoSox do have Lugo for a few more years.
Now with 100% more Canuck.
Man would I love to have him.
But the answer is probably too much.
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
Rich Harden?
Probably have to add Gaudin as well to sweeten the deal.
Eveland rocks! Eveland rocks! Somewhere Drew Carey just smiled.
As far as pieces I'm at peace with giving up,
the best I can do is Street, Mazzaro, Crosby. More likely something like Gallagher and Street gets the Red Sox attention.
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
Gallagher and Street for
Lowrie and Masterson.
Eveland rocks! Eveland rocks! Somewhere Drew Carey just smiled.
Interesting - but I don't think the Sox would do it
They must feel Masterson is set-up material if he’s setting up Game 1 of the ALDS so Street would be a two-year upgrade of someone they like as a six-year option. Which means they’d probably have to like Gallagher – Lowrie straight up to do that deal.
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
They either really like Masterson or really hate their other options
I think Masterson could be a solid starter. I am a big fan of starters with a heavy sinker. A back end of Street and Paps would be pretty solid.
Eveland rocks! Eveland rocks! Somewhere Drew Carey just smiled.
Yeah, but the downgrade from Lowrie and his potential to Lugo
is pretty steep too.
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
How about
Gallagher, Street, Crosby for Lowrie, Masterson, Lugo. Exchange bad shortstops and their bad contracts. Am i correct in assuming that Crosby is better than Lugo.
Eveland rocks! Eveland rocks! Somewhere Drew Carey just smiled.
Eh. They pretty much both suck.
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
I don't think Gallagher's on the table, though
I think the A’s have him in mind as joining Cahill and Anderson at the front of a very good rotation come 2010.

He was back in action today, which was suprising.

or is it some other promotion?
Don't blame me, I voted for Bill King.
"They can manufacture runs at will!"
That explains why they have 3 runs all night.

go figure
other teams can manufacture runs besides the Angels…
the way Hudler talks about them.. you’d think they were the only ones that could do it
That last shot was awesome.
I love seeing depressed socal tan people with frosted tips and visors. It just looks kinda funny.
I love you Jacoby Ellsbury.

Now treat him well.
Now with 100% more Canuck.
Way to lose, LAAA!
Can’t wait to see Red Sox losing to the Rays. It’s like the big bad bully losing to the little guy that they always pick on. I may like this post season more than I think after all.
If the Red Sox hang on, every team I picked to advance
will have won today. Contrary to my rooting, I’ve picked the White Sox over the Rays (but go Rays!).

Scot Shields is pure win.
I love him and want him and K-Fuck to be the 8th and 9th inning guys.
I want Arredondo off the team.

LOL Pitching to Big Papi there
Not a good decision for Scioscia and his Rally Monkey swinging fans in the crowd.
Love the dejected looks
Go Rays tomorrow and all the way

I don't know how many 100 game winners have actually made it past the AL/NLDS in the years of their seasons
Now with 100% more Canuck.
This series, like last year, makes me hate the Angels all the more
Rooting “for” the Red Sox against the Rodentia makes me feel dirty.
