PrintFinal Score in Boston: Red Sox 7 Angels 5
On their way to a win over Benedict Lackey, the Angels let Kevin Jepsen giftwrap and personally deliver 2 runs late in the game to ensure a victory for the Massachusetts Clamdigging Mudmen. John Lackey got the W, Jonathan Papelbon got the Save and it was mediocre Angels pitching to blame this time as Scott Kazmir was lucky to only have allowed 4 ER in 5 IP. Angels batters showed up a little with some homers and doubles but not enough considering that Halo pitching is just plain lousy.
The called third strike to end the game was a signal to the bookies that the home plate umpire expects his payout to be in cash, small bills, no consecutive serial numbers, alright? I am not saying the Angels didn't deserve to lose this game - they did, they lost it fair and square - but the game ended on a fix regardless of the outcome.

At least Texas lost.
For what it’s worth.
Would’ve been nice to get a win but wasn’t meant to be .
Freaking never easy to win against the Red Sox.

If this team had as much fire in its balls as Napoli feels after pounding his latest road meat conquest with an unsheathed pickle, we’d only be 5 games back right now.
All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I'm fine.

Who cares anymore?
Texas would still win the division with 82 wins.

Loved the officiating, loved our BP.
Oh wait, i’m a Halo fan. Screw Jepsen. I often wonder if our BP pitchers can even look our starters or position players in the eye.
YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARKSIDE.....
Our position players suck. Our DH sucks.
Anyone can look anyone in the eye. This team is one big pile of suck.

I took "BP" pitchers for "batting practice."
Then I realized it was “bull pen.”
And then I thought about it and I had it right the first time. Damn it.
Any time you think you have the game conquered the game will turn around and punch you right in the nose.

I'm tired
Tired of Scioscia leaving a pitcher out there when it is obvious that they don’t have it. It seems that I’ve been questioning Scioscia more this year than in years past.
Maybe the players making that nice big league paycheck should perform their job well then.
I’m not buying that excuse of blaming the manager when things go wrong.

Nor zits that resemble the outline of the Big Dipper
the horror ............... the horror .......... the horror
God I am so sick of this...
what is the matter with our bullpen? What the hell was up with the horrible calls? (and of course all of them against us). How can we have so damn many leadoff doubles and not score? and once again we see the problem with having Abreu hitting in the lead-off spot, he doesn’t have anyone to knock in and nobody is there to bring him in after he gets on base.
Ya know, Jeff Biggs
was talking about the horrible calls we keep getting from the umps the other day on his show, was it Sunday? He said MLB wont do anything about it until it happens to the Yankees.
That's not true red,
Last year in the ALCS both Robinson Cano and Jorge Posada ended up at 3rd base and were called out by the 3rd base umpire . Oh wait, that call went in favor of the skanks. You’re right. It’ll never happen to the MFY.
YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARKSIDE.....
I like how F-Rod K's the side
And then gets taken out. I know he threw some pitches but it couldn’t have been any worse than jepsen, the big bad suck.

Ok, so when Benedict
gave up that double to Abreu that kinda looked like a homerun, he was standing on the mound and he yells, ‘F*&^%$@ moron!’…Was he finally talking about himself?
He needs a damn horse muzzle over his mouth.
He talks too much crap on the mound as if nobody will realize what he’s saying.

i have been saving my f bombs
well fellow Halo lovers, I continue to read the great Halosheaven 10-15 times per day, but have not posted in a long time. To sum it up this team has left me speechless.
I have been saving for five months:
1. FUCK this team, they are heartless pathetic loosers
2. FUCK this team, they have not been fun to watch all year (but i still watch or listen to every agonizing game)
3. FUCK Scosh for not playing Napoli somewhere every day, mismanaging the bullpen, running into outs with a very slow team, not lashing out at this team and throwing bats in the locker room shower, putting a different shitty lineup together night after night. etc etc
4. FUCK, Matsui, B Wood, Jepsen, Shields, Rivera, Mathis and his premium defensive skills, Kazshmear, Kohn and Reagins for this pathetic squad
5. FUCK I feel a little better.
After all those rants I am still an idiot and I believe that if and that is a big IF they can string some wins together and put some pressure on the Rangers, the Rangers will crumble and we can make a race out of this. Fuck (oops #6), no matter how bad it gets I still will support this team and vomit every night hoping for better game the next day.
Like Train sings in “Calling all Angels” you wont give up and I wont give up. Angels please show us a little life, we have to stop giving up chances like the last two nights to pick up games against Texas
R.I.P. Nick, you are missed!
Looks like somebody went all Carlos Zambrano-like
on this team.

Give Willits consistent at-bats, the guy has some life to him
which is more than I can say about most of the team
Angels in 2010!
I couldn't agree more
I’ve been clamoring about this for a month.
NA, #34 SP, LAA
Light up the Halo for Nick!
More Howie please...
Can
someone please sign K-Rod next year. He’s better than this bullpen and as long as he pitches well, I dont care who he punches. We’ll get him to punch every reliever who blows a save/hold.
He's bad PR now
No way the Angels go near him ever again. Besides, it sounds like he pissed off Arte when he brushed off the Angels’ offer for an extension.
I don't think it was ever made public
But speculation was about 4 years and $48 million. This was before the 2008 season, so it would have covered his last year as an Angel, which they paid $10 million anyways. Seemed like as good a deal as he was likely to get, but he wanted more.
The difference with Matsui is that he keeps his porn habit between himself and his Japanese entourage, who find it completely normal. I mean, if you grew up in a culture where this was typical (not obscene) then you’d probably have a high tolerance too.
did you know
K-Rod has an option for 2012 for over $17 million??? I can’t believe that a relief pitcher would make that amount of money, its just crazy. no wonder he left, the Mets are the only team stupid enough to give that kind of money to a guy who pitches 65 innings the entire season.

I wish that were the case
But is paying Fernando Rodney $6 million to pitch 65 lousy innings really much better?
IMO
yes. K-Rod is better than F-Rod, but not $11.5 million better.

They are both bad contracts
It’s like deciding whether you’d rather pay $50,000 for a Geo Metro or $500,000 for an Escalade.
do they come with a carmax vehicle history report?

additionally
if K-Rod was pitching like ’02, and the Halos were a winning team on their way to the postseason, I could maybe talk myself in to paying him $17.5 million, but since neither of those are the case, it is just crazy.

hes making 11 this year not 17
the 17.5 option is a club option with a 3 million buyout so we dont really know if he was going to get it so yea hes 4 million better than Rodney easy
I know
I just thought it was crazy to have that much money going to one player. I know its for 2012 (note I said 2012 above), but it still blew my mind.

Cynics call Matsui simpleminded, a workhorse without the brainpower to comprehend what all the attention really means. But Matsui responds by saying that he just wants to be a regular guy—albeit one who jokes that he now has five girlfriends at any one time. He drives a Chevy. He eats steak, has an occasional beer and likes to shoot the breeze with the security guards and maintenance personnel. And, of course, he likes to watch his much vaunted porno collection, tapes that he often trades with Japanese reporters. As one Japanese journalist put it, describing Matsui’s affinity for such unique Japanese cultural institutions like the no-panties shabu-shabu in Japan, “Matsui is a horny guy. All of us are horny, more or less. But Matsui doesn’t attempt to hide the fact.” Yet another win for the Japanese Everyman. — Time Magazine, 2003
wait wait wait...
he eats stake?

Well that brought everyone back to reality eh?
After the juiced radar gun and a surprisingly good outing in Detroit, to the intermediate outing last time , to the unfortunate reality that is Scot Kazmir.
Blame the bullpen all you want. But what do you expect when the starter can’t get out of the 5th inning. When was the last time he even made it to the 7th? oh that’s right, the time he gave up 7 runs.
Kazmir needs to be jettisoned, not relied upon.
What do you expect when the starter can't get out of the 5th?
He pitched 5.
He was throwing hard.
The Beltre homerun is an out in Anaheim.
Back to reality, Jepsen blew this game. Not by challenging a hitter or even giving up a legit hit … he threw a wild pitch to tie the game and then hit a batter on a 0-2 count to lose the game.
And then Kohn came in for his usual “why the fuck is he pitching, is scioscia hallucinating and seeing a 4 run deificit” inning of “work”.
Not sure how any of that is Kazmir’s fault. But, I bet you are one of those fans that pounds his keyboard about Brandon Wood being the cause of all the offensive woes this year. My god, a #8 hitter ruined my Angels. Glorified rookie who had his swing changed into a limp dicked utility player slap swing should have carried this team on his back to glory.
Somewhere, right now, Mickey Hatcher is ruining a swing.

Sosh wants so badly to get into his "roles"
that he’s willing to blow the game. In the pregame interview, he talked about not getting to establish “roles” very well this season. That must be why he let Jepsen come in and blow the game. He just wants so damn badly to go starter → Jepsen → Rodney → Fuentes. Sosh is starting to have delusions.
