April 6 Pregame Thread

How many Doubles will the Angels hit tonight? That is the PREGAME QUESTION and you can get 11/1 Panther Points for playing today. Check out Twinkie Town while you are at it.

The 1971 California Angels spent a whole two days in first place an they did it in Minnesota during a sweep of the Twins. Of course it was early in the season. On April 16, Rudy May struck out 9 Twins in 7 innings of a 4-1 Angels win. On Saturday the 17th, Andy Messersmith went the distance in a 4-3 Angels triumph over Bert Blyleven and Ron Perranoski. Tony Conigliaro and Jerry Moses homered for the Halos. Sunday's 5-4 victory featured a tense 9th inning. Clyde Wright had two men on with two outs in the 9th in search of a complete game when pinch hitter Rod Carew singled in a run. Dave LaRoche was called from the bullpen and promptly gave up a bases-clearing double to pinch hitter Ron Renick. Interestingly, pitcher Jim Kaat had been brought in as a pinch runner for Carew, but he would be the last man to score a run that afternoon, as Mel Queen struck out Cesar Tovar to record his 3rd save of the season and the final out of the Angels sweep of the Twins.

pregame picks

I changed my password today and the site isn’t registering it correctly. My pick is 3 doubles and I’m wagering 7 points. Sorry for putting it on here, there’s nothing else I could do though.

You do know that in order to use the pregame website (revhalofan.com)...

you have to create a new account with a separate password from the one you use at HalosHeaven?

I love this team.

by Downing Rules on Apr 6, 2010 3:40 PM PDT up reply actions

example:

Your HH account: sctrojan13
Your HH password: “isniffleinartsjock”

Over at the pregame site, you would do something like this:
Login name at Revhalofan.com: “sctrojan13”
Your new revhalofan.com password: “rodneypeeteisdeity”

I love this team.

Right, but you had to REGISTER first...

and now someone who runs that “revhalofan.com” site can hack your HH account (no offense, foxpaw).

I love this team.

he said it

sorry folks, hacking and trolling are realities in the world we live in, when i site says DON’T give us certain information, you are wise to oblige.

by Rev Halofan on Apr 6, 2010 4:16 PM PDT up reply actions

Yep

No offense taken. I suggested using a different password for just that reason.

I was at a rookie ball game in Provo a few years ago

(before they moved to Orem) and Harmon Killebrew was auctioning off a bunch of signed stuff for a foundation. I picked up a signed jersey for $70 bucks. A classy guy and a true HOFr.
