"Tampa Bay Manager Joe Maddon called Angels Manager Mike Scioscia on Wednesday to express his regrets about not playing Angels third baseman Chone Figgins and closer Brian Fuentes in Tuesday night's All-Star game..."

Fine, Joe, we still like you.

I take back everything bad I said about you, Joe.

Aside from your glasses and hair.

What do you need a fancy suit for, Charlie, you ain't got no job to wear it to.

There was someone representing the Angels at the All Star Game

Yeah, it was Andy Richter, but he hit a damn home run:

He also bungled balls to help out Jenna Fischer.

So double win! I will double my efforts to never miss Conan. :-)

Let's do this for Nick Adenhart, Courtney Stewart, and Henry Pearson.

FOR NOW.

Please get rid of Kendrick and Aybar. And Santana. R.I.P. Nick Adenhart, Marquis Cooper, Steve McNair

Did Phys apologize?

If so, I missed it! Link?

This season is my best chance to get called out of the stands to pitch.

Haha no

During that Texas series, when Andruw Jones hit 3 homers, Phys spent the entire game praising Jones and made it seem like we were watching a Rangers telecast.

When that game was over, Rev posted that whole thing about Phys being the worst announcer in baseball, then the next Physioc was doing much better.

That’s what I meant haha

oh

yeah, i knew about the horrors he uttered concerning Jones and the Rangers, but I didn’t watch the next game, so I didn’t notice that he had improved.

Well, at least he apologizes

But he might inadvertently be doing us a favor.

im with you there

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

No.

I don’t care, Maddon. You shouldn’t have had to apologize. You should have played them — at LEAST one.

Pu-Leez, Maddon.

34 - N.J.A - R.I.P

PLAY FIGGINS ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!.....or not

I'm gonna say this here, too

That comment was said before I was over the anger stage.

(Somehow, reading HH comments helped)

I am not mad at Maddon. I’m mad, dissapointed, that Figgins didn’t get to play.

Me Too!

That Flip could have been a great addition to the All Star game..(in so many ways) alongside his probable 2 out 2 rbi triple.

Bottom line is: a player like Figgins is good for MLB in more ways than 1…

34

Nope, still not satisfied.

Stuff it Maddon.

I am happy to introduce All Star Third Baseman, Chone Figgins.

by 44FAN on Jul 16, 2009 2:08 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Wait did Scioscia play in this game?

He should aplogize to Brain Funetues(Rawr) and Chone Figgins.

Nick Adenhart.

by WillGoAngels27 on Jul 16, 2009 2:41 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Apology not necessary. An Angels World Series victory will make this a forgotten fact of the 2009 season.

I love this team.

Classy

He didn’t have to apologize. If it were any other manager, (aside from maybe Bud Black) would you expect him to apologize? It’s a nice gesture showing Maddon values his relationship with Mike.

Plus, if you asked Figgins or Fuentes, they’re big boys and I’m sure they aren’t as upset as us fans that they didn’t get to play.

I aint gonna let a petty grudge against Joe Maddon increase my risk of heart attack.

This season is my best chance to get called out of the stands to pitch.

Fuentes

has pitched in the ASG before, so probably not as big a deal for him. He might be annoyed that he started to warm up, though.
