Sayings

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.

W6G= We Will Win With What We Got!

This was just a rough draft to try and get everyone going. Please do add whatever you like or any corrections to my Fanpost.

Go Angels!

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.

Do it for Nick '09

Fuentesaurus is much more fun.

Also

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

Fixed.

Thanks

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.

Don't call me Desmond

I'll add a few nicknames

Kendry: The Cuban Missile Launcher
Rivera: Juancho
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.

by neochoa on Aug 9, 2009 7:18 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

after today's game Mathis: stinky old stained mattress

I used to call him Shotgun for his quickness behind the plate, and sharing the catcher position with Napoli as in “riding shotgun.”

Hey la, hey, Halo...

by 44FAN on Aug 9, 2009 7:49 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

And didn't he say something about a "dadgum shotgun" at some point?

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.

This team is our extended family, That's why we love them no matter what the record, no matter what the score.

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.

Acuda has a man-crush on Kendry

Sosh and Arte both have a thing for Aybar in some sort of twisted love triangle

Every card-carrying internet skank has a man-crush on Escobar.

….Acuda is just well ahead of the curve. His is Kendry’s John the Baptist.

Scott Sheilds- “Shieldsy” (this one’s pretty common)

Eric Aybar- “Mini-Vlad”

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.

Hunter, again...

…Ivan Rodriguez gave Torii a shove in the back, Torii shoved him back, because ‘he don’t take no mess" – sometime near the back end of last season.

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

Ervin has proclaimed his nickname to be "El Meneo",

so why no mention thus far.

"el meneo" is what I have heard – which babelfish is translating as "wag"

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.

I love this team.

One more

Willits is sometimes called “Popgun Smurf”

I also second Hunter being called Spiderman.

"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.

In case nobody heard, he flew out to center.

Listening to Scioscia barking at Figgy during spring training in 2008, he called him “FIG.”
