Angels Comeback Destroys Red Sox Curse

Final Score in Fenway Park: Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim 7, Boston Red Sox 6
If you tuned in for an exciting baseball game, you wouldn't know it by the saddened sound of NESN announcer Don Orsillo, pouting a mumble of would've-could've-should've plaudits to his beaten and bruised Red Sox. Tell the equally tin-eared Buck Martinez that no matter how much lube he warms up for Clay Buchholz, the Angels did it.
In dramatic fashion against Jonathan Papelbon, baseball's 2nd best closer, the Angels scored 3 runs in the top of the 9th inning to stun a Fenway Park crowd of smug and entitled chowds into deadened mute agonizing silence. And it is going to be a long cold winter of silence. Maybe Red Sox owner John Henry can get Dave Henderson to throw out the first heating bill of winter for his lonely mansion as he bitterly relives the TEAM OF THE DECADE destroying his mythological masterpiece in the final Fenway game of the decade.
Monday will be the 23-year anniversary of the fabled Donnie Moore Game. But it will be the first day of the rest of the franchise's life!
Genius manager Terry Francona walked Torii Hunter to get to Vladimir Guerrero and for every idiot who whines about taking the first pitch, Vlad swung for your ignorance and dropped a base hit into Centerfield to give the Angels THE lead. The rally started with two outs and TWO strikes to Erick Aybar. Four minutes later the previously untouchable Papelbon had surrendered three runs and the lead.

Rev Halofan...
Congrats to all Angels fans. The Angels outplayed the sox through and through and they deserved the sweep. Congrats on a solid divisional victory.
That being said… Rev Halofan, you handled the victory with a lack of class that I would expect from only you. I used to hate Yanks fans and Jets fans the most. But since finding your blog I have channeled all that anger solely at you. You represent the LAA Angels fanbase with loathing, jealousy, anger and childish mockery. Your mother should be ashamed. You clearly enjoy the Red Sox loss more than the Angels victory. A true fan would celebrate the performance of his players rather than take the time to call another teams’ fans “smug” and “entitled”, let alone while declaring his own team the “team of the decade.” You sir are a hypocrite. The fans of your team deserve better than you.
by adubson on Oct 12, 2009 5:24 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Ha! We ALL enjoyed the Red Sox loss at least as much as the Angels victory precisely because of the smug entitlement
of the Red Sox fans, not to mention the biased reporting and announcing that we had to put up with for this series.
Your team was the Wild Card because we beat the Texas Rangers for you, and you didn’t bother to send a thank you card.

A huge load has been lifted
In 1986 my father was stationed in Brunswick Maine and I was only 18 at the time and I was talkiing alot of crap to all the Sox fans. When Dave Henderson hit that home run, the next day at school was probably the worst day in my life. The reason I am sharing this is because IT FEELS SO FUCKING GOOD to know that them assholes got it back at them. I love Karma. Go Angels.

He’s so obvious too. Everytime he talks about the Sox it’s like a little girl talking about her favorite boy band. Even when he tries to pay the Halos a compliment you can tell it’s like forcing out a stubborn turd.

SWMBO just took back everything bad she’s ever said about Fuentes. If anything’s better than beating that arrogant ass Papelbon on his own field, it involves Russian tennis divas and 55 gallons of Hershey’s syrup.

And when Fuentes got the second strike the door opened with no one out I got some chills and the first thing that came to my head was Nick coming onto the field to help us finish of the Red Sox, the 1st team we played after his passing. And then I scroll down and read your Post and I felt the chills again.
RIP Nick we are ding this for you! but please continue to be a part of it like when you tripped Blueberries in the outfield on Friday to get us the nice lead and when you came in to help us clinch today.

I’d like to chalk it up to being traumatized from the previous series’ against BOS (and even the 2005 job after Eddings), and if they hadn’t come back, it very well could have been over.
But now, with this—I WILL NEVER DOUBT THIS TEAM AGAIN!!!!!!!!

The moment Bobby was up with 2 outs and he was grinning
I knew something special was about to happen. Just his presence in the lineup I believe got Figgins to finally get on base. When Chone was held at 3rd when he would have made the tying run had me a bit nervous. Walking Torii I thought was brilliant because of Vlad’s free swinging. But when I saw Vlad step up to the plate, All I was Yelling was SWING AT THE FIRST PITCH SWING AT THE FIRST PITCH, and the rest was CELEBRATION !!!!
There was something confident all along during this game. And it took a little while to get it done but we got it done !!!!!!
Bring on the next team cuz either way, the boys are going to perservere. See you at the World Series !!

I basically called it over, but I ain't no bandwagon chump
I’d still root for this team either way.
Just traumatized from the previous four postseason outings…ok the two most recent, but still…

vlad’s last big hit in the playoffs?
bases loaded in fenway.

Funny enough, that may be the way to get to Paps. We nailed him first pitch not
once but twice, Rivera did it then Vladdy. It goes against all logic, but I guess sometimes you have to do the oddball thing against a really good closer.

Fucking awesome
Two outs, two runs down, bases clear, and all of a sudden the Boner has lost the game. Just willing the Red Sox announcers, I mean, TBS’s announcers were reminding you that Papelbon is Mariano Rivera 2.0 with a 0.00 ERA in October. Vlad barely had time to wipe Francona’s spit off his face before he shot the first pitch into centerfield. But if you’d rather pitch to one of the best hitters of the last 15 years instead of Torii Hunter, I guess you take it, right Terry?
Postseason “choker” Guerrero went 4-for-10 with two walks in the series. Big Pimpin’ David Ortiz went 1-for-12 with four strikeouts. Good thing the Red Sox had all that historically clutch postseason hitting on their side. The media wasn’t about to let you forget about it. You can suck it, East Coast Media Elite.

and it’s exactly what so many others have said all season.

Aybar has impressed the heck out of me this year, he really has.
but i still call him “FAILbar”, just in case. :P

When we lost OC, I thought we were doomed with Aybar. He shut me up all season. Great job this year. And no more platooning with Howie, Izzy all the way.

Figgins
did have a big walk today in the ninth, but someone needs to tell him that the playoffs have started. Come on figgy we need you!
by CaptainCarlos on Oct 11, 2009 4:09 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
no, no, no...
we need to convince Figgy that this is NOT THE PLAYOFFS. If he can be hypnotized into believing it is just the regular season, he might perform as he normally does — igniting the offense and wreaking havoc on the basepaths. Otherwise, it’s “O-fer Figgins” come playoff time.
(Disclaimer: I am desperate for some Figgy crow. Serve it up, Chonie!)

On TBS pregame show for Yankees/Twins, when they were reviewing our game, David Wells’ expression seemed demoralized to me. Also to me when he was talking it sounded like he was about to cry. Ha Ha!!

Unbelievable
OK…..I have been reading these commentaries for some time…..but now finally I went and signed up on SB Nation because I just had to comment. I have been an Angel fan for their entire history……and today’s game just has to be perhaps the SWEETEST moment of all…..to put to bed that f…g Red Sox “hex”……payback is so sweet.
Well …. all the above comments have pretty much said it…..I have laughed at some….but I know the Angels are a class organization and team, and they will calmly go on and do what they gotta do. I am looking forward to an all-LA series….which I know the East Coast media will try to ignore.
GO HALOS!!!!!

should be home by 1130 pst

and JWA (known as SNA to us pilots) doesn’t have a “curfew” per se, the control tower just stops operating around 10PM

They never fly to LAX. If they are past curfew, they divert to Ontario.

Sorry didn't mean to sound concieted there..
I learned to fly at JWA so I’m always there. You do get a lot of celeb sightings there (more than LAX) because it’s where most private charters operate. About a month ago, I was on the flight line and saw Tiger Woods getting out of sweet Lear Jet. Sweet!

This site has some of the best/funniest fans. I’m sure from looking at my SB nation name you can all tell why I am here. Anytime a Boston team is swept it really makes my day. Unfortunately I am not a huge baseball fan but I think I just became one. Great game and great passion by the Angels team. I hate Boston!
