If GA weren't so lazy. Since we always used to call Garret Anderson(GA) lazy we came up with a saying and a example would be like. If GA weren't so lazy he would have traded himself back to the Angels.
If Kotch were here. This started as soon as Casey Kotchman(Kotch) was traded. An example would be If Kotch were here we would have already won 100 games.
"Quientin flied out to Center"
Used as a joke whenever there are multiple identical responses to a question in a thread. It is a call back to a game thread from last year when Gameday cut out. People kept asking what happened, and the number of responses kept multiplying each time asked.

Tony Reagins: NINJA
Steve Physioc: THE GRAND PHYZZARD
Shea Hillenbrand: KATRINA

Miek NApoli: NAPSTER, SIDE SALAD, NIPPLES

I still don't get Frosty
’Splain? Is it anything beyond that his bat was somewhat frosty and not hot?
RIP Nick Adenhart.

Ah yes
Very nice. Shame, still, that the Halos had a terrible record with guys named Steve in 2005 and 200—oh wait, Shea does not equal Steve (except in baseball skill, apparently).
RIP Nick Adenhart.

For some reason I thought
“Frosty” was referring to Juan Rivera and his frosted tips.
by WiHaloFan on Aug 13, 2009 4:37 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
SOTH = Mike Socisia
This is probably the one that is hardest to get. It has to do with a misspelling written by a Halos fan from Japan, I think. (Correct me if Im wrong).Its also just easier than figuring out how to write his name or just calling him Mike (which confuse him with about 3 other team personel).
Oh and mattwelch said one the other day that I didn’t even know:
D-MAC…I’m assuming Dallas Mcpherson….the great white hype(behind Todd Greene).
Sean Rodriguez = S-Rod or Sean the Baptist
Also, Abreu is often called Chupacabreu cuz…well…hes ugly.
Finally, Fuentes can also be called Tito. Since that is what everyone on the Angels call him.

Juan Rivera is called “Juancho” sometimes. And a small matter: Jeff Weaver was WTE for Weaver the Elder.

I don't remember where Juancho started. I think I might have started it.
And Jered Weaver is still sometimes referred to as WTY, Weaver the Younger, for no apparent reason.

Aybar: E-bar, also a general use of “IT’S A TRAP”
Howie: HK-47, also “Truck,” apparently
Torii: Spiderman
Vlad: the obvious Big Daddy Vladdy
Mathis: Mattress
Oliver: Ollie
As for sayings I think it’s amusing that the “Quentin flied out to center” from last year still pops up from time to time.

Well done with the list.
Gary Matthews Jr. = HGH Jr. as well
We used to call Mathis SHOTGUN, but I’m assuming that launching the ball into centerfield trying to catch a runner stealing does not apply.
Howie also equals HOWITZER.

The person whose hobby is baseball and he is not able to get information for his favorite team then 1866Baseball is the best place for him to get all the information of the team
Their section on the Angels is compulsory reading for every true fan:
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim is my first preferred baseball team with very brilliant players. All the members of this team is first-class contribute in baseball. I like it extremely. I am study every match of it
Every player this team played very well & with luminous resistance power

Yes that's where the "luminous" came from
And it has a double meaning, as in “light it up”, ie light up the halo after an Angels win.

Santana
Is also known as “The Shaker” in English, and “El Minejo/Minnejo” (not sure what the exact spelling is) in Spanish(?) I did a search for it, and even typed it into an on-line translator… neither of which was very helpful. I’m just going by how it sounded when Hud said it during broadcasts.
Thanks for explaining “Hula Dula”… I’ve been reading posts on here for a few months now, but could never figure out who that was referring to.

I hated the Finley and Matthews signing
God, especially the lining up to suckoff how great Finley was when i turned out he was just a roider who did yoga on the juice instead weight lifting. And Speier was good for the pen in ’07.
So there.

Torii Hunter is the most quotable Angel – I’d love to hear him miked up for a game. That would be excellent.

I actually saw his family hitting the exit ramps last night. I gave a fist pump and a “good job” to one of his relatives who expressed his appreciation of my gesture… Ervin’s little rug rat was being pushed along in a toy airplane or car, which the general public certainly cannot bring into the stadium. Good times.

"Quentin flew out to center field"
Used as a joke whenever there are multiple identical responses to a question in a thread. It is a call back to a game thread from last year when Gameday cut out. People kept asking what happened, and the number of responses kept multiplying each time asked.
