Around the Halosphere

by Rev Halofan on Sep 30, 2008 8:22 PM PDT in News Comment 20 comments

I am pumped abut the postseason, and I know that YOU are pumped about the postseason, but is the Halosphere pumped about the postseason?

On John Lackey's Blog, he is pumped!

With his John McCain book now available in paperback, MATT WELCH has his playoff predictions and they will warm your heart. He is pumped.

Rob McMillin is so pumped about the playoffs at his 6-4-2 BLOG that he is liveblogging White Sox elimination games.

Is Chone Smith at ALL THE WAY pumped? Nah, he is crunching numbers about the relative strength of the AL over the NL.

Is Megan at Angelblog pumped? She is still focused on dissecting Sunday's 100th win.

At the MVN Blog they are still analyzing the 2008 season with a great "Top Ten Moments" essay.

John at the CHRONICLES blog takes Mickey Hatcher's yammering about walking more to statistical task. The numbers do not lie!

The Angelfans Flickr Pool has a great shot of the crowd at the fireworking moment of victory! They seem pumped!

Stephen Smith at FUTURE ANGELS got a shot of Jered Weaver pitching in the instructional league on Sunday. He will be fresh out of the bullpen if needed in this series. Jered, not Stephen Smith.

Is Gilbert Quiñonez pumped? Oh hell yeah, but scroll down and check it out, not only is he pumped about the playoffs, last week he was pumped about Arte lowering ticket prices for the View level to $3 for the final weekend series.

Over at The HALO is LIT, Jim has cut his ex-girlfriend comments down to the bare minimum and ratcheted up the detailed analysis of how the Angels match up, position-by-position, with the American League Wild Card team.

Is Marcus at IN-PLAY-NO-OUTS blog pumped? He wants a healthy Josh Beckett so that the Angels can claim a PURE, SUPERIOR victory over Chowds who will then not have excuses. He is stuck in Boston (Marcus, not Josh Beckett) but may be attending Game 3 at Fenway Pahk.

Meanwhile, L.A. SEITZ is still gloating abut Frankie's save totals trumping the Mariners' win totals... but essay or no essay on the playoffs, you gotta think of anybody on Earth, Bill Seitz is pumped about the Angels in the postseason.

The 2008 STAT LEADERS and Angel rankings therein are up at Rallymonkey.com. One can assume anyone willing to infringe on a team's legacy trademark for their website name is pumped about these playoffs.

The Halosphere seems suitably pumped for the 2008 ALDS!

Is DRaysBay ever going to

change their name so that it reflects the team they support?

The article at Chonicles about figuring out Jon Garland is very funny and right on.

This is worth going back and reading. Yes, I am so pumped I could pop, in fact I am plump.

Hey, thanks!

Thanks for the link to my Flickr pool - we’ve been getting a lot of action over there lately and are all PUMPED!

Also — You forgot to mention that Torii Hunter is PUMPED – he’s doing a postseason blog here: http://toriihunter.mlblogs.com/

Lets go Angels! Lets go!

It's late out here in Boston, I'm doing homework, and I'm generally sore from broomball.

So no long analyses of pitcher/batter matchups, no comments on neutralizing Bay and Pedrioa, no speculation on Lowell or Drew. Three words:

Just win, baby.

On the Lackey blog

Some idiot said something to the effect that the sox are going to wax us and Lester is a beast.

Thanks for giving more motivation to our #1.

Angel Pitching, Angel Defense - get past that.

I can't use my F-bomb

Trying to adhere to HH protocol, lets go ANGELS. As I stated on a recent post we are good enough, smart enough, and people love us.

I think, upon consideration...

…I’d rather be where you are

I see red people

At a different time of the year...

I would say the same thing to you. I’ve been to England once and would love to go back. I was… pumped on it.

Agreed.

Even though I still hold the war of 1812 against you British, I have to admit that your country is made of awesomeness.

Driven into right-center field, Erstad says he has it...the Angels, world champions!

My picks are up

Meanwhile, L.A. SEITZ is still gloating abut Frankie’s save totals trumping the Mariners’ win totals… but essay or no essay on the playoffs, you gotta think of anybody on Earth, Bill Seitz is pumped about the Angels in the postseason.

Just did it today, but it’s there now.
