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

From a Newport Area hotel.

If GA wasn't so Lazy, I'd have something clever here.

“To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also 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!

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!

Anyone know the announcers for the TV games?

Is it the same all games for the halos?

by SFV88 on Oct 1, 2008 5:12 PM PDT   0 recs

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 was uncool before uncool was cool.

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!

by NoDakHalo on Oct 1, 2008 5:21 PM PDT   0 recs

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!

GO HALOS!!!

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

Very Churchill like

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

GO HALOS

by highlandhalo on Oct 1, 2008 6:36 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

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 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!

Go Angels!

Check out the Hot Corner on MLB.com, BTW. Right now they’ve got live cams of batting practice at the Big A.

by LittleCupcakes on Oct 1, 2008 6:11 PM PDT   0 recs

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!
