good call, i think
it’ll give Vlad some extra days off, and it’ll assure that we have Lackey, Santana, and Saunders starting every game (barring some freak injury).
i hope revenge is sweet this year….
Kotch would've had that.
I hope so, too
Is it true (memory fails, and I wasn’t following the team as closely then) that we also had home field advantage for the 2004 Chowd sweep?
Light Up That Halo!
2004
yes this is true, and Bartolo Colon got squeezed by a home plate umpire later found to be a season ticket holder in Fenway Park, but hey, Tim Donaghy is just an NBA thang…

Wow I didn't know that....
you’d think having season seats would disqualify someone from umpiring that teams playoff games at a minimum. I personally don’t remember Colon getting squeezed but I remember Glaus getting called out on balls like at least a foot outside. I really couldn’t believe the calls the umpire was making, now to here that he had Fenway Season seats that makes me sick
Oof
Doug Eddings, Tim Donaghy…
Does ESPN pay off MLB to have these idiots ump our crucial games?
Light Up That Halo!
Did he really have seats in Fenway?
The Angels may have beat them 8 times in a row, but winning three before they do is all that matters.
yes
a true but of course underreported story … you know, how the “magic” was aided and abetted by crooked umps and anyone pointing it out is a spoilsport…
by Rev Halofan on Sep 29, 2008 11:04 PM PDT up reply actions
The number four is involved
There was either 4 umps involved with the season/selling post season tickets, or for seats.
I’m thinking it was four umps with four tickets to each post season game to sell.
That is BS he should not be able to work Sux games.
The Angels may have beat them 8 times in a row, but winning three before they do is all that matters.
Yeah I was at game 1 of that series
This was our first playoff series since 02 and you could tell some of the guys were nervous. Figgins especially was a train wreck that series. The only two good things I remember about that game: 1. Glaus hit a ball farther than I’ve seen anyone but Vladdy hit to left field. He almost got it up to the concourse behind the left field bleachers and 2. I saw a couple Boston fans get kicked out of the stadium
That about sums it up. Hopefully this series will go better. I just know all of those weaselly beaneaters are snapping up all of the StubHub tickets. DON’T SELL YOUR TICKETS TO BOSTON FANS!
I feel the need, the need...for speed!
So was I
and we were surrounded by the most obnoxious Chowds I’ve ever had to suffer through. It’s the closest I’ve ever come to going postal. Exhortation re selling tix to Chowds seconded heartily.
And re Figgy: whenever I hear anyone suggest putting him back at second, I have a Nam flashback to that game.

GAME OVER
by Rev Halofan on Sep 27, 2008 12:34 AM PDT up reply actions
And...
we’ll start Jeff 55 OPS+ in game 2 of this series, too. Scioscia is silly like that.
Jim Scully
Yeah, we saw how well that worked out
In Game 2 last year. Let’s hope Danny Vinik isn’t sitting front row again.
Light Up That Halo!
Are you kidding?
I bet that the Sux organization gave him free tickets to those seats this year.
Angels fan since '67
Unlikely.
Because of the time-lapse between each game, Scioscia doesn’t really have the excuse of protecting Napoli. In the ALDS, I’d expect to see Napoli catch the first three games at least.
~Till the Halo burns out...
I think Mathis is Santana's personal catcher
The Angels may have beat them 8 times in a row, but winning three before they do is all that matters.
Agree...
I posted a fanshot about catchers a few days back and it says as much (Mathis will catch game 2).

im trying to not get started on this again
Kotch would've had that.
by howiestheman on Sep 30, 2008 4:47 PM PDT up reply actions
Wait, so is Mathis catching or not?
I know that Nap should catch, but the Soth is the Soth. Don’t mess with the Soth.
by Downing Rules on Sep 30, 2008 4:59 PM PDT up reply actions
game 2, yes
and i’m going to mess with the Soth, ESPECIALLY if we lose that game.
Kotch would've had that.

Can we give him BOTG if it's a Mathis induced loss???

OH SWEET
I dont have school any of those days so I dont care what time they play….I WILL BE WATCHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Rev.....
If Chicago ends .5 behind the Twins what happens? They twins have played 1 MORE game than the White Sox, so would the Sox make up the game with the team that got rained out or whatever, and if they win that game then they would play the TWINS in game 163?
Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ANSWER:
DET @ CHI (makeup of Sept 13 rainout) on Monday
if CHI wins having been a half game ahead, they take the division by a game
if CHI loses having been a half game behind, they lose the division by a game
BUT if after the game with Detroit on Monday, Chicago and Minnesota are tied, there is a 1-game playoff in Chicago on Tuesday, the winner then flying to Tampa for ALDS Game 1, to be played Thursday.
Guess for lineup for G1 ALDS vs. Beckett and the Sux
1. Figgins, 3b
2. Anderson, lf
3. Tex, 1b
4. Vlad, dh
5. Hunter, cf
6. Kendrick, 2b
7. Rivera, rf
8. Napoli, c
9. Aybar, ss
Napoli-an Dynamite
put Vlad in RF and Rivera at DH
and you’ve got it, methinks.
Kotch would've had that.
by howiestheman on Sep 27, 2008 9:45 AM PDT up reply actions
I think personally I'd rather see Rivera out there; Vlad is just brutal in the field
but yah, I think it’s something very similar to that post above
Napoli-an Dynamite
They're BOTH pretty brutal out there IMHO

by halofan4life on Sep 27, 2008 10:14 AM PDT up reply actions
Rivera's not THAT bad
he moves better than Vlad, and he’s got a GUN out there.
either way, you’re not throwing Ichiro or another Torii out there… it’s either “save Vlad’s knees” or “make Vlad happy”, and Soth usually leans toward the latter.
Kotch would've had that.
by howiestheman on Sep 27, 2008 10:17 AM PDT up reply actions
problem is, Vlad still thinks he's really good
Rivera’s a little better, if he plays like he cares. Which he might- playing for a contract and all.
Napoli-an Dynamite
RIvera's no GA lol
i really haven’t seen him ever play like he didn’t care.
Kotch would've had that.
by howiestheman on Sep 27, 2008 10:26 AM PDT up reply actions
I really hate Boston
I am super nervous about game 1 they way Lack has been throwing. I predict Santana throws a gem in game 2.
Who’s starting game 2 for the Sux? Lester or Matsuzaka?
Napoli-an Dynamite
looks like it will be Lester in game 2 and game 5 if it goes that far
No surprise here as Matsuzaka is one of the most overrated pitchers in baseball. We just need to work him in game 3 in Boston and watch him throw 115 pitches in 5.1 IP and then get to the juicy Boston pen early.
Napoli-an Dynamite
there we go! I give up and it works
sorry for all the multiple posts, that’s annoying
Napoli-an Dynamite
hmmmm
i like the four pitcher rotation schedule better, including weaver would of been nice

Oops...we beat THEM....2002.

WTF does this have to do with the Lakers?
The Angels may have beat them 8 times in a row, but winning three before they do is all that matters.
its called regional competition
the NorEasters need to stop jacking SoCal teams from our championships.
Driven into right-center field, Erstad says he has it...the Angels, world champions!
agree to disagree
If the Celtics beat the Lakers every year I would not care.
The Angels may have beat them 8 times in a row, but winning three before they do is all that matters.
Some people are regional fans, haul.
I am one of them, too. I am a firm believer in regional fandom.
Although, my NFL team abandoned me (boo hoo).
Maybe you didn’t grow up in SoCal? That might explain the mixed fandom. Not sure how a person living in San Francisco can be a 49ers fan AND a Dodgers fan. It just doesn’t happen — most 49er fans are GIANTS fans. However, (in my experience) a lot of the “Bay Areans” are also Lakers fans, not Golden State Warrior fans. Huh? Pick a winner, I guess.

Nothing wrong with being a regional fan
I’ll take my Angels alacarte
The Angels may have beat them 8 times in a row, but winning three before they do is all that matters.
I predict a 3-1 series win...........
winning at the Chowds home would be oh so very very sweet
Miss you Kotch......Love you Trent

I see Boston has been PPD'd once again
Does this mean they’ll play on Monday or Tuesday, thus leaving them without a possibly much-needed rest day? Or will it just give them added momentum coming into the series?
Light Up That Halo!
Looks good to me
We are ready this time around!
Lets us all take a very, very deep, deep breath...Before the ALDS....
And repeat, we believe in the lore of the Panther, we believe in the Angels, we will prove that we are deserving of the best record in baseball, we got HFA because were good enough,smart enough, and people like us…. LETS GO ANGELS……
YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARKSIDE.....
One more thing lest I forget, as deejayelleseven pointed out...
This is also payback for the Lakers. Lets defend SoCals baseball and basketball honor!!!!!
YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARKSIDE.....
Lakers have nothing to do with this
The Angels may have beat them 8 times in a row, but winning three before they do is all that matters.
Guys, guys, guys (and girls)
“I hope,”“I think,”“I’m nervous,” etc, etc.
Seems to me everyone is so afraid about jinxing the team or being disappointed.
I hope the Angels aren’t feeling like that. I hope they have confidence and fire in their eyes and are ready to rock and roll.
I am. Because I’m not worried about losing. If we do, we will be back next year, and we will be competitive for a long time to come with our current management. All you can ask for is to have a team that can be good and have a chance to make it to the playoffs every year. Once there, everything else is gravy. It’s not like we don’t have a ring.
Now let’s go fuck up some Red Sox.
Halo’s Rule!
Angel Pitching, Angel Defense - get past that.
there's a fine line between confidence and arrogance.
Me personally, I’m gonna let you guys do the talking and I’m just gonna hang back enjoy the games and explode at the right times. Shit as far as jinx’s go, I’m not gonna wear my angels hat at all this postseason, because it seems like everytime I take it off of the top of my computer monitor and wear it, they lose or something bad happens.
We are all definately walking that fine line between confidence and arrogance, somor of us have said eff it and burned the dame thing down. I think I’m one of the few of us who are gonna take the quiet confident route and like I said, explode at the right times.

Swagger required, but humility is still on your mind.
Put that hat back on.
by Downing Rules on Sep 30, 2008 11:21 AM PDT up reply actions
Plenty of swagger, I promise.
But I went my entire freshman year in High School maintaining a certain dressing ritual and in my mind it worked, started that year off 2-4 and finished 20-5. My hat will have the same role I keep it in, it will sit proudly right above the instrument I use to watch the games, the computer in the regular season, and the TV in the postseason.

I used to keep every ticket stub...
to every halos game I attended. In 1995, I threw them all away.
Now, I still toss my stubs after each game, but only because I don’t have the storage space, no more superstitions after 2002 had exorcised those demons. (I do have my WS stubs and Jered Weaver’s 1st pro start (RC @ Lake Elsinore) and 1st big league start ticket stubs—not sure why I kept those.

take the quiet confident route and...explode at the right times
Same advice Joey Silvera gave to TT Boy once upon a time
There may be a fine line
And I don’t think I crossed it.
I guess it’s just a matter of perception.

Comentators for the Series
We will be getting Chip Caray (play-by-play), Buck Martinez (analyst) and Craig Sager (reporter). You can find the rest of the info here.
question about central and tie-breaker
CHW & MIN finished with the exact same record but MIN beat them head-to-head….why isn’t MIN the outright champ? is it different in baseball?
thanks for the info on that ump in 2004 Rev, i didn’t know that story. that is shady. revenge will be sweet. Halos in 4!
Yes, in baseball the only way to decide a tie that would knock someone out of the playoffs
is with a 1 game winner take all.
*Visiting Angels fan* Never give up, never surrender!
Blech
I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. Thanks for the reminder.
I feel the need, the need...for speed!
Anyone thinking this day off is a bad thing?
I was worried about it before the series started, and here we are. Time to think about a VERY disappointing loss. Then, another day off after game 2.
I recall a week where we had two days off, and we went on a pretty horrible streak after that. It was a Monday and a Thursday off, with a series against the M’s, back in August. We then went on to play a crappy series against Cleveland, then a crappy series against TB, and against Minnesota as well — winning just 2 of 8.
It’s all I could think about when I initially saw the ALDS schedule, even before the series started. Sorry to be a downer, and I hope I’m wrong, but I just had to say something because it’s been driving me nuts.
