And we start off with a rain delay!

Hey you! What are horse mackerel!
Hey, the chair are sailing! You believe that I am toad of the month!

Day game tomorrow

Making the rain delay more of a problem — less sleep, just what the players wanted.

Luckily ...

they have only a short jump from Detroit to Chi-town for the next series.

by Downing Rules on Sep 3, 2008 4:06 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

and The first pitch by garland is...

pounded down by the rain and the ball slips away…

I love the shots of him fishing with his brother...

funny stuff. Figgs seems like a cool fellow to have as a brother.

And at least I can hear what he says. Can’t say that about those other people :-)

don't agree

with leap frogging a team (#1 no less) that also won. but, rankings are meaningless at thispoint. we have a big test coming up in ohio st….could get interesting.

by SCHalo on Sep 3, 2008 4:12 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

i actually hate USC

but i think the writers made the right call on that one.

but like you said, it doesn’t matter right now. wait a few weeks, then well see how everything goes

That's why I don't like College Football...

college football is amazing

BCS is stupid.

I was even more nervous than after the drive at the end of regulation.

i couldnt believe their kicker missed the chip shot

i thought we might go into 2 or 3 overtimes

Would a rain out tomorrow be that bad?

As long as they did it without making the teams wait around all day — it might be a good thing to see tomorrow rained out, right?

What are the odds this game matters for either team in the standings and they’ll actually make the game up?

by gilbert on Sep 3, 2008 4:21 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

oh guy thats no good...

i dont care how well we play on the road. we cant win at the other “juicebox”

by AnaheimHalos61 on Sep 3, 2008 4:24 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Yes, but it wouldn't be made up

This has happened before in last few years — when the two teams that would be tied are both in playoffs anyway, they don’t play the remaining game.

by gilbert on Sep 3, 2008 4:29 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Here's what's happened before

Let’s say the Angels finished 98-63 (missing 1 game), and the Rays finished 98-64 … the Angels would get homefield.

But if the Angels and Rays finished tied, the Rays would because they won the season series.

The tiebreaker for tied teams in the playoffs is the season series.

by gilbert on Sep 3, 2008 4:35 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

so when do we clinch?

i’m going with with 9/13/08 though it would be cool to do it against the yanks to give them another celebration at Angel Stadium to look at. :)

by SCHalo on Sep 3, 2008 4:25 PM PDT   0 recs

ah yes

just another time for Giambi to wait in the dugout and watch that “other” team celebrate

I kinda like Giambi...

NOW, that is.
He also went to the same high school as I did, so I would like to see him do well, especially now that he’s come clean.

I STILL HATE THE YANKEES

by Dono Romantico on Sep 3, 2008 4:46 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Well

Texas won today, so best case scenario sees the magic number drop to 6 after tonight. Earliest they could clinch would be Sunday. I say it happens on Tuesday.

by jjackflash on Sep 3, 2008 4:33 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

good call

i guess i built in for a mini slump. would be cool to happen against the yanks.

but more heavy rains are due in about 40 minutes.

Depends on which way the other bands are moving

“Storm Tracks” show them moving in differing directions.

Who here actually roots for the Dodgers (when they’re not playing the Halos).

by Dono Romantico on Sep 3, 2008 4:41 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

i can't

root for the didgers. too many years of taking crap from friends and their fans. it was justified back in the day but nowadays it’s nice to wear the gear and let the halo speak for itself. i respect dodger history as it is colorful and legendary but don’t ’dis what the Angels have done this decade, especially head to head.

if they played the red sox in the WS though….i’d root for them.
