I hope Mrs. HighlandHalo’s red knickers work out for the best.

Robb Quinlan pinch hits for Figgy, pops out to center field.
Simultaneously Becketts oblique explodes, Pedroia and Youkilis crash into each other on the 55 freeway driving to the game.
Quinlan for series MVP?
Driven into right-center field, Erstad says he has it...the Angels, world champions!
Completely unnecessary dude....
it would be, “Quinlan for series Panther”

and by 55 I mean 57 or 22 or 5.
I lower my head in shame for making that mistake.

They'll likely be taking th 55

There ya go. I was thinking about them staying at that hotel where they signed Torii at.
Savi Ranch how I love you and your shopping.

The Angels
This is the day we’ve been waiting for since the A’s decided to close up shop halfway through the season and concede to us. The post-season. This is it. This is why we got Teixeira. This is why we got Torii. This is why we celebrate walk off home runs, or balls caught at the wall with spectacular leaping catches. This is why we buy plush monkeys. This is why we deal with rats in our food, and sit through the Shooby Dooby Down To Ruby’s song at every game. This is why we turn up “Calling All Angels” if it comes on the radio. This is why we hate defeat, and love victory. This is why we take one game at a time. This is why we smile when we drive down the 57 and the halo is lit.
100 wins? That means nothing right now. What matters is who wins the last game of the season.
Instead of trash-talking the other team, I’d rather let the Angels do the talking.
This is the only division series that matters.

A Quote before I leave for the stadium
“To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.”
- Anatole France
BELIEVE!!!!!
We have the best pitchers. Our hitters are healthy. We have Teixeira.
Let’s forget about 2007. Let’s also forget about 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006.
NOW IS THE TIME: Let’s kick thos Sox back to Boston for an early October exit.
Hey you! What are horse mackerel!
Hey, the chair are sailing! You believe that I am toad of the month!
(Yes, that is K-Rod's entry music, translated)
I might have an extra ticket for tonights game
Anyone interested ? Don’t need money or anything for it – my son might not be able to join me and I’d be happy to give it to somebody else.

Man only if it didnt take 4 hours to drive from the San Fernando Valley.
I love to go but spending more time on the freeway then at the game stops me from driving anymore.
Tonight
Tonight I will have the good fortune of being able to watch the game with my Dad and my 1 1/2 year old son. When I was growing up, there were not that many opportunities to do this. Quite frankly, who knows how many more opportunities there will be? Lookin forward to an ANGELS VICTORY with three generations!

TBS has their #1 Announce team
Though I don’t know who that is, they should be on all the games.

I've been away from home for 7 years
I watch the Angels games with mixed feelings. Seeing the stadium reminds me of home and I feel good, but then I remember I’m not there…and I could be. Today the feelings are even stronger in both directions. I feel fantastic that my team is about to start another road to a championship, but I feel even further away from home.
GO ANGELS!

I Can't Wait
I can’t wait for the game to start. It feels like I’ve been waiting two months….oh, wait. I have.
I can’t wait to hear what Steve Phillips says over the next couple of days.
I can’t wait to see what the LA sportswriters say after the truth comes out.
I can’t wait to see the look on the chowds’ faces on Sunday.
I can’t wait to see my roomates cheering for our boys, now that the Twins have lost and they have become Halo fans out of respect for the way we play the game.
I can’t wait to be ignored by ESPN and other major news outlets until they realize they have to talk about us.
I can’t wait to sport Angel gear on a daily basis for the remainder of the playoffs.
I can’t wait for my HH t-shirt to arrive in the mail.
I can’t wait!!! AHH!!! GO HALOS!!!
Red Sox, we're comin!
Keys to the game:
Power chugs: The more full cans of beer you chug during the commercial break before the bottom of the side, the more offensive power the Angels get.
Defensive Curls: Build a shrine of Angels memorabilia, and get some free weights. Before we take the mound each time, do as many curls as you can while facing the shrine, and yelling out the name of the pitcher.
Rocks: After a good play of any sort, give everbody in the room rocks(knocking fists). Dont miss anybody.
Rally Attendance: If we are doing well, and someone comes over or enters the room, and subsequently the Angels start to slip in anyway, that person must leave the room/house for the duration of that game…possibly the entire series.
Whatever dude.

There are going to be 5 of us
out here in philly watching the game together tonight! Work is going to suck tomorrow, but I dont care because we are going to publicly humiliate the Red Sux!
10pm start baby! we are all pumped!
Some might question my parenting skills for teaching my kid how to say fuck the sox.
What can I say, I’ve always gone commando on the feet.
Now score some runs so Quigley can get in the game!

The Fall Ritual
After so many years of using October as a kick off to the hot stove season, I feel so
blessed to once again be partaking in the yearly ritual of Angel Playoff Baseball. IT
NEVER GETS OLD.
Fanatic since Fregosi
I'd like to say to my Halos Heaven brothers and sisters: this season has been rad, and finding this online community was truly a gift. I've made plenty of friends from it, and we have had the pleasure of sharing something we all can agree on, no matter wh
That being said, tonight is the beginning of the war…the real battle. The last march into territory of the gods. Let us all stand by each other, remember why we’re here and be brave. Let us not ever give up, no matter if we’re down by 1 or 10 runs…no outs or 2 outs. Positive vibes make their way towards the stadium and can lift these heroes of ours into the stratosphere. Let’s hunker down and be prepared for some nervous moments, because you can’t have the sour without the sweet. Let’s root for our team and each other. I love you guys and I will fight along side you and this team till the day I die. Once more into the breach, my friends. Tonight is the first night of the rest of our lives.
GO ANGELS
Whatever dude.

I say props to this post. And the positive vibes can go all the way from London to Anaheim.

I was wondering about something
With Beckett hurting, if the Angels had elected to go with the shorter series, would that have been better? That is if the series even lasts more than 3 games.
I was uncool before uncool was cool.
I want to apologize to the taxpayers ahead of time...
for i will be dragging serious ass at work tomorrow…GO HALOS!!!!

I just realized, like a dumbass, that I finally won't have to watch this on MLB.com
Awesome! I’ve seen like five games all year on TV, and if I saw a stoned Victor Martinez on my computer one more time I was seriously considering changing my position on the Drug War….
Rob Neyer hates MLB.TV
He listens to delayed internet radio feeds or if that fails he trys to find a knothole at the back of the stadium.
THE GAME PLAN: Plain & Quite Simple:
It is still a game. You are here while the majority of the league is watching. RELAX, PLAY YOUR GAME & HAVE SOME FUN & THE HALOS WILL WIN ! ! !
HALOS IN AN YAWNER: HALOS SWEEP THE SOX !
When I'm not at the stadium, I'd rather be watching my Halos back in Costa Rica!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
TELL ME THEY HAVE THE THUNDERSTICKS BACK
not those pos rally rackets, we need our thunder stix!!

Check out the Hot Corner on MLB.com, BTW. Right now they’ve got live cams of batting practice at the Big A.
That Hot Corner
Thing is interesting. You cannot watch a game like that if it’s your only video source because once the ball is hit you have no idea where it goes.

SOOOOOOOO Pumped
I’ve been watching the other games all day, and I’m so pumped to watch our beloved Halos slaughter the hated Booooo-Sox. If freaking James Loney can go yard and hit a bit tater, then Vladdy should hit TWO!
We are
THE BEST TEAM IN BASEBALL
time to show it baby!

I feel strangely calm
Despite my hatred of the Boston Red Sox, their players, their fans and especially their bandwagon fans, somehow I feel another Red October coming up.
Let’s be cool, calm, collective … and I’ll eat a moth if we lose this series.

Stuck out of town (Orlando)
And now, my fellow friends, I ask that we brace ourselves. Long has past sicne hte days when we were mere palyoff neophytes and everything was so cute and adorable and we were just so happy to be here. This team has flags. This team has pennants. This team has rings. This team is THE ass-kicker in all of baseball, and the pipeline into the future appears full.
We are their fans. We are pros at this. Now is not the time to commit suicide because of a simple error. The team shall overcome. Nor is the time to proclaim ultimate victory with every base hit. The team is merely getting started.
But now IS the time – THIS is the time – to rage in delirious fury in constant support of this new campaign: to win 11 more games. We are the adrenaline. We are the lifeblood. We are the sharpened eyes, the extra hustle, the dive, the slide, the lunge, the miracle effort. This is OUR job. This is OUR role. We have been here before. We know what to do.
Yield not one inch, not even to thine own angst.
Now let’s get out there in the stands, and on the highways, and in the bars and living rooms and garages throughout the planet, AND KICK SOME FUCKING ASS!!!!
