Angels Arms The Story

by Rev Halofan on May 27, 2008 1:16 AM PDT in Angels News

The Angels pitching staff has allowed 14 runs in its past 67 innings.

At the stadium on Monday the zeroes piled up for both sides, but the support of the crowd never waned. Disappointing Left-On-Base numbers didn't slow the fans down. By the time the 12th inning rolled around, there were about half as many people as the number listed on the jumbotron in the 8th (40K+). The dramatics, aka an anticlimatic fourth ball to Garret Anderson led to the only fireworks of the night - the scheduled Memorial Day Fireworks. Even though the Angels started the game early, at 6 PM, Disneyland's regularly scheduled pyrotechnics beat ours by over half an hour.

If we ever find some sticks in this haystack we are going to win 110 games. We have Wood substituting for Figgins and S-Rod covering for Howie (and Izzy semi-competing with Aybar in his absence) so that might be the answer to any owes all right there.

UPDATE: While I was at the game, looks like the action around here was pretty wild with almost 1500 posts in3 Game threads, NICE, and for the record I banned the Texas Ranger Fan who posted the video of Hitler (on Memorial Day, classy) in the game thread and sent him this message:

Posting pictures of Hitler on Memorial Day? You are a douchebag lowlife and banned from Halos Heaven.

i just hope the arms can hold up for 5 more months......

because it could easily be 110 losses if they dont…......nah….im kidding…..but now holding on to all the “young talent” isnt really looking all that great…..and that trade for Garland has been a better move than the FA signing of hunter IMO

i root for teams that lack offense! go halos and bills!

I changed my sig two or three days ago

Hey, why get all stressed out about the offense. Pitching and D baby.

I would like to get involved in the game posts but i’m at work. I tried to run game day and post the other day but It didn’t work out too well. Too busy.

See, I even missed the hitler guy. Had no idea what was going on. Guam time isn’t the greatest for blogging.

Angels Defense. Angels Pitching. Get past that.

I doubt you "missed" anything.

Bills?

That’s pretty wild. Do ya miss OJ!

Just kidding. Except for the Rev insomniac, I don’t ever get a reply at this time of the morning (6pm Guam time).

PS (I thing OJ is the greatest running back of all time. Don’t tell anyone).

it is cool

Lance Ito is the idiot to be blamed in all of this.

An Angel fan mentioning OJ here is miles away from a Ranger fan posting Hitler videos here.

Earl Campbell and Eric Dickerson

drink OJs milkshake and don’t behead their wives.

by Rev Halofan on May 27, 2008 1:10 AM PDT up reply actions

That is not fair

Didn’t you see the quotations and the “Don’t tell anyone.”

Eric ruled. Earl, whatever. Jackson might pass em all before it is said and done.

Steven Jackson?

No offensive line, man. C’mon, get real.

Dickerson was an awesome runner, but he also had a great O-line. Charles White and Greg freaking Bell led the NFC in rushing behind that line after ED left. My grandma could’ve gotten 1,000 yards in a season behind that o-line.

I'm sure he misses Thurman Thomas and Jim Kelly

What a great team and a crying shame that Norwood shanked it…otherwise, it’d be the most celebrated 4-year run in NFL history.

Most celebrated 4 year run?

Seattle I would like to thank you for sucking. It allows me to get back to my roots: Hating Fremont.

yes, even going 1-3 would have established it as such...

name another team that has been to four in a row haul. NONE.

None have correct.

The Cowboys won 3 in 4 years – 27, 28, & 30. The Niners beat them in the NFC Championship the year they did not make it. The AFC was like a minor league team during that period so the NFC championship was the defacto Superbowl.

Thanks but no thanks. That Cowboy run was more impressive and I’ll take it hands down Downing. (I hate the Cowboys)

Ok...

allow me to correct my post…”one of the most celebrated 4-year runs.” And still, the ONLY TEAM to ever reach four in a row.

Peace, out. Go Halos.
