PrintGAME THREAD - Rangers at Angels - Padilla V. Lackey - 7:05 p.m.
Kinda wish we could have put those 4 runs from the 8th inning last night in the bank for tonght...
Intentionally Altered Movie Lines
Miyagi: Your friend, all karate student, eh?
Adam Kennedy: Friend? Oh, yeah, those guys.
Miyagi: Problem: attitude.
Adam Kennedy: No the problem is, I'm getting my ass kicked every other day, that's the problem.
I took the day off yesterday due to an illness which I believe was caused by a Carls JR burger at the stadium on Tuesday. But now this is all Boy Who Cried Wolf - I warned you all and then I did it to myself...
Beat My Runs and Hits Picks: LAA: 7, 13 ... TEX: 2, 8

Cobra Kai: 3/7

down and out in the OC
Scioscia: [the team is visibly smashed] Hey, team?
the team: Mmmmmm?
Scioscia: I thought we weren't going to drink any more.
the team: Well, Sosh, yeah. It's true. We are vegetarians. But we hear... that vodka... comes from a potato!
Dang, those mugshots on angels.com-Padilla looks dark and evil and Lackey looks like a white boy goofball from Abilene Texas
Big John from Abilene 6/11
The Dark Side 4/9
the winning side, of course
just going with the "on the road bar" theme. I know I was way off---
we all know the team drink is TEQUILA!
I cannot make a prediction..
If both are true we score 3 runs on 8 hits tops.
If AK sits, Q is at first, HK at 2nd where he belongs and Juan is hitting in front of G.A., 6 and 9.
Oh and Lackey holds Tex-Ass to 2 runs on 5 hits in 8 innings.
wait until the lineups are posted then
4 picks per person, no contingencies...
Peter Cetera Rules..
Those guys from elsewhere in Texas: 3,6
I'll be out in 241, next to the Knothole, avoiding the Carl's Jr. gutbombs!
Jeff
pass on that...
Jeff
If Etta James married Peter Cetera...
YIKES
<<thwap upside the head>>
Ahhh...
The Owner and the Manager
Walked out to center field,
And then they rested on the rock
that Disney had revealed:
While all the roster players stood
And waited to appeal.
"The time has come," the Owner said,
"To talk of many things:
Of first--and left--and second base--
Of pennants--and of rings--
And if this team still has a shot--
And whether pigs have wings."
(to be continued...)
More
"Before we have our chat.
For some of us are aging fast
And few of us can hit."
"No hurry!" said the Manager.
(Ersty thanked him for that bit.)
"A bat at first," Mike Scioscia said,
"Is what we chiefly need.
Or a thumper in the outfield
With skill and glove and speed
Now if you're ready, Angels dear,
We'll trade and take the lead."
"But not with us!" the Angels cried,
As Erstad barred the door.
"We hate the Philly weather
And D.C.'s even more!"
"Good thing for you," the owner said,
"Jim Bowden barely knows the score."
Wow. My very next stanza and yours are close.
"But wait a bit," the players cried,
"Before we have our talk;
So we lack the skills to drag a bunt,
A few of us can walk!"
"Don't worry!" said the Manager.
They sat down on the chalk.
"A leadoff bat," the Owner said,
"Is what we chiefly need:
Relief pitching besides
Is very good indeed--
Now if you'll shut it, players dear,
We are ready to proceed."
"Don't blame us!" the players cried,
Turning a little blue.
"After so much kindness, that would be
A dismal thing to do!"
"The night is fine," the Owner said.
"Do you admire the view?
"It was so kind of you to come!
And you are very nice!"
The Manager said nothing but
"Someone must pay the price:
I wish you guys were not so deaf--
I've asked you more than twice!"
"It seems a shame," the Owner said,
"To play them such a trick,
After we've brought them out so far,
And made them trot so quick!"
The Manager said nothing but
"Let's get this over quick!"
"I weep for you," the Owner said:
"But some of you must go."
With sobs and tears he sorted out
The quickest from the slow,
"Howie, Kendry, Juan -- all yes.
GA, Ersty, AK --- no."
"Q can stay, and Izzy too.
OC, Vlad and Nap.
Our starting 5 remains intact
But mid-relief -- just crap.
Shields and K-Rod stick around.
And Adenhart's on tap."
"O players," said the Manager,
"You've had a pleasant run!
We loved you back in 2002,
But now it's all undone."
"That leaves just two." the Owner said,
"And Figgy is but one."
"Improve or go!" the Owner charged,
"Nothing else will do!"
"Start getting hits and scoring runs,
Or your career with us is through."
"So who's the last?" the Manager asked.
"Why Sosh, that one is you!"
Angels MLB Site
The site now features:
Johnny Rivers, O.C., Big John, Li'l Weaver, and Napoli.
Remember way back in the spring when the site boasted the distinguished photos of Ersty, Colon, GA and Vlad?
Ah...they were simpler times.
Didn't they remove AK a few months/weeks ago also?
by cardinalwraith on Aug 4, 2006 12:04 PM PDT up reply actions
Yes, they did...
But Rivera, Weaver and Napoli (to my knowledge) are very recent additions.
I'm glad they have the rookies highlighted up there now along with Hot-Like-Fire-Rivera.
I checked last night...
Recent history of the Angels' masts
BONZAI!
Chad McQueen - 6/10
Remember in The Karate Kid near the beginning when Daniel meets some new friends and goes to the beach with them only to get beat up by Johnny and then his new "friends" abandon him because he got beat up? Some of the naysayers and poo-pooers on this site remind me of Daniel's "friends."
Furthermore, we all know that there is much to be learned from The Karate Kid. I, for one, never set my empty beer bottles on old Japanese men's vintage trucks. But think about it - The Karate Kid is an allegory for this Angels season:
Daniel LaRusso - Your Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
Johnny Lawrence - The Oakland A's
Mr. Miyagi - Bill Stoneman
John Kreese - Billy Beane (only not as cool)
Daniel's Mom - Darin Erstad (was around in the beginning but then just kind of disappeared)
Ali Mills - Rev. Halofan (sorry Rev, but we're just talking symbolism here)
Bobby - The Seattle Mariners
Dutch - The Texas Rangers
Let's get to that All Valley Tornament.
You're the best around. Nothin's ever gonna bring you down.

My predictions
Rangers - 4/9
I further predict that if the Angels should happen to lose, there will be no shortage of people pointing out all the obvious things Scioscia should have done. This will all occur after the fact, of course.

Rangers- 2/8
by MistaRaggy @ Halos Heaven on Aug 4, 2006 2:12 PM PDT reply actions
P239 tonight Row P
Ranglers: 3/8
Enough is enough with loosing to these AL West teams, loosing 3 out of the first four at home suck donkey balls...
Bench AK, Move Howie to 2b, Call back Morales and platoon him with Q, Bench Figgy, Let Carrasco be the last man out of the pen like Jones last night, Move Donkey to the 7th inning,
That should just about do it!
Pix and Pans
Rev: [Rev hits Sosh in the face] Don't put AK in the lineup! Do you hear me NOW?
Sosh: No I didn't quite catch that Rev.
[Rev hits Sosh again]
Sosh: Still not getting it.
[Rev hits Sosh a few more times]
Sosh: Ok, I got it. Shit I lost it.
Texan: 9/13
Texas: 7/10
P.S. - We need to get us a new breed of Rally Monkey
Best quote from that story
Wax on, Wax off
Vladdy's bizzos - 4, 8
Who's going to be at the game tonight?

Wow a slam. We're screwed.
But Hud Explains It All
Oh. Well, then. Ok. I guess tonight is just a valley. Like last night. Like all of June. and May. And a good part past the All-Star break.
I feel a lot more hopeful now.
