Of Course The HALOS CAN WIN

1 GAME AT A TIME

When I'm not at the stadium, I'd rather be watching my Halos back in Costa Rica!

One pitch, one AB, one inning at a time.

Limit the errors and get some timely hits. That should at least get us to game 7. Otherwise, Spring Training is only 4 months away…

Of course

(insert cliche about 1 game at a time here, as if new york is not playing 1 game at a time either.)

Certain guys need to step up in order to win 3 games in a row. If they don’t, season over. We’re gonna see very soon.

Still got faith.

What's unfortunate...

…the series SHOULD be tied at 2-2. Unfortunately, Fuentes gave up the HR to A-Roid in game 2. Oh well…coulda, woulda, shoulda…

Aaron King is still my homeboy... iffy mechanics and all

So do I ...

It brings goose bumps and chills to my spine every time.

I love this team.

my first memory as an angel fan

was hendu crushing my hopes and dreams… as a 6 year old.

I’d like to say 2002 erased that, but actually beating the sox this year did.

So, i figure I’ll get over Brian F’n Fuentes in my mid 50s… unless we do something about this shit in the next three games!

ummm....I didn't vote.

The Angels are a warm weather team, I just can’t imagine them wanting to get on an airplane and freeze to death one more time.

I've got nothing.

by bc56274 on Oct 21, 2009 9:28 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

As opposed to the eskimos CC Sabathia, Andy Pettit, Robinson Cano, Melky Cabrera, Alex Rodriguez

etc etc.

As if these guys are more adept to cold weather more than anyone on the angels.

Well Boys & Girls...

The Doyers are officially out. Looks like it’s up to our boys to defend the honor of West Coast baseball.

(switching to Dragon-slayer mode)

God needed a starter. RIP #34

Slim Chance

If we are going to win this series it will have to be because the offense scores runs and pitching doesn’t allow runs. If we lose it will be because that didnt happen not because of some conspiracy.

by Ukidding on Oct 21, 2009 10:05 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Like a parlay ticket: difficult but not impossible

Lackey can take Burnett; then Saunders can take Pettite. Atter that it’s all hands on deck. Obviously if key hitters don’t produce they’re toast. But on the pitching end they need to show some ba**s as well. Why haven’t we seen a Yankee brushed back yet? Angel pitchers do not own the inside corner of the plate and haven’t all season. I’m not saying that a Yankee should get hit— but if they’re camping out over the plate.

by Culero on Oct 21, 2009 10:16 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

I want to see a high-and-tight pitch to A-Rod...

not to hit him, mind you… just to get him uncomfortable at the plate. I didn’t like his commentary about being comfortable playing in Anaheim comments. He is TOO comfortable.

I love this team.

Bud Selig doesn't want an all red Series.

It will be too hard for idiot play-off-only baseball fans to follow if it’s Phils and Angels. Ha ha. My idea is, make the Phillies change back to their maroon and powder blue unies. They looked better back then anyway.

No matter what happens from here on, it has been a great season.

Can The Angels Do It?

Shit…I sure the hell hope so.

I voted YWC (Torii said the fans are the 10th element, and I believe it to be true)

I hope we at the least can save some face, and take this back to NY…though I will hate to see them celebrate on their own turf (that’s if we do end up falling on our ass) It may be good for some of our future/current players to watch. Like some of the Doyers did tonight…excluding douche bag of the century MR.

We are about to see what the fuck we are really made of…bottom line!

Note to Angels: Not to sound cliche, but Nut The Fuck Up (cuzz yall…yes all yall are looking like bitches) and do us Loyal Fans Proud…for Nick…for the Best owner in Baseball/Sports and for the Loyal Fucking Fans who bleed for you!

That is all. Best of luck… I will still Be Fan Loyal….Criticize the fuck out of you, but most of all… I will still love the fuck out of ALL of you…….. and support you filthy mofos.

Yes. They can

The question is will they do it? I have no doubt in my mind.

The Big Red Machine V.2 is coming this Fall 2009. Go Halos!

Utterly, Completely, Absolutely No Chance

I’ve computed the odds of the Angels coming back to win the ALCS to be 1 in 498,740,231,703,270,328,798,473,249,807,203,847,390,709,276,876. CC, Kate Hudson, Mystique, Aura, Rudy Giuliani, Nicky Swisher’s Magic Grandma…how the hell can the Angels hope to compete with that kind of mojo?

I’m betting John Kruk’s Last Remaining Testicle that this series is already over. The Yankees are soooooo awesome. The Angels really don’t even need to show up tomorrow. It’s over. Finished. Definitely.

C’mon we’re talking the Yankees, they never choke.

by Zaius on Oct 21, 2009 11:24 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

I'll take that 1 / 498,740,231,703,270,328,798,473,249,807,203,847,390,709,276,876

That’s like a .20050518×[10^(-46)]% chance that I could buy out Angels Stadium every day for the rest of my life!

What? That was just a joke?!! Awww.

It could happen! Let's do this for Nick Adenhart, Courtney Stewart, and Henry Pearson.

I unfortunately was right

All I could think about after losing that heartbreaker game 2(which we won!you suck Fuentes!!!!) was facing Sabathia again,and what would happen if he owned us again. I’m praying his fat ass falls down the plane ramp when we head back to that freezer. And YES WE CAN!!!

The Angels can win this and send it back to NY

I’m not ready for this season to end yet….AND there is absolutely no way I want to see the stupid skankies celebrate in our stadium.

It’s time to send this thing back to NY

GO ANGELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The guys just need to go out there and have fun...

they need to stop pressing, just go out and play the game.

That being said, I have a feeling we take this game tonight.
As for Game 6 and 7 they don’t matter right now.

Keep Fighting Boys!

we hve the right go going tonite...

in Lackey.

But we have to hit. Can depend on scoring only 3-4 runs.

When we won it in 2002, we did because we mashed.

Different kind of club now, I know, but we have to start hitting.

If they can pull this out, I'd be the happiest man on the planet.

But until then, I’m in Halos Hell. :P

Patience

I only had brief, 15-second looks at Tuesday’s game via MLB’s Gameday. My first peek at the game was during the top of the 3rd inning; Kazmir had thrown almost 50 pitches. My next look was at the end of the 3rd inning. Abreu had just struck out—he saw six pitches. I noticed that he had walked in the 1st inning. CC had thrown just 29 pitches up to that point. So out of those 29, Abreu had seen at least 10. That means the other nine Angels’ plate appearences had seen a total of just 19 pitches; just a tad over 2 pitches per at-bat/plate appearence. Yikes! It’s hack-tastic!

That needs to improve tonight.

The '56 LA Angels (PCL) cap logo...a classic.

Clutch brought that to my attention...

I didn’t believe it, until I broke it down:

1st Inning
Figgins 1 pitch 0-0
Abreu 4 pitches 4-0
Hunter 3 pitches 1-1
Guerrero 3 pitches 1-1

2nd Inning
Rivera 4 pitches 1-2 (was 0-2)
Kendricks 2 pitches 0-1
Morales 1 pitch 0-0

3rd Inning
Aybar 1 pitch 0-0
Figgins 3 pitches 1-1
Abreu 6 pitches K 2-2 (was 2-0)

I love this team.
