ALDS Game #1 Thread

Angels @ Red Sox - John LACKEY versus Josh "Blister Bitch" Beckett
3:30 PM Pacific Time on TBS

Star-divide

The key to this game will be surprising and aggravating a bored, spoiled bunch of babies playing before the most narcissistic fans on Earth. The sociopathic alcoholic white supremacists in the stands will take any Angel scoring personally and pout, thus taking 90 percent of the crowd out of the game.

The Angels should score early, score often, and refuse to be intimidated by one-dimensional non-stars who hit for chemically-induced and Gammons-hyped power while pretending the strike zone is the size of a lima bean.

For Fun Before the Game:
Name two Angels who will drive in a run in today's contest. You get one point for naming one, but three points for naming two.

It's Good to Feel the Love
It's nice to see a rivalry developing here with some team other than the "MFY".

In case any of you Halo-heads are out of the country but following things online - DON'T.
I'm out of the US at the moment and found out that a web company called Joost has made an agreement with MLB to deliver all the post season games over the web for free IF you are outside of the US or Japan.  If you're in the US and Japan they're delivering 30 min recaps of each game. Supposedly they are starting these broadcasts on Oct. 4th, so a day late...not sure about how all that will play out or when the broadcast will start but I thought folks might be interested.

Woo hoo -
Here's to hoping the Halos pummel Beckett and win game #1.

Kotchman, Kendrick, Willits and Napoli ALL get RBI's in my universe.  Don't count this toward the OPD thing - I guessed too many folks, but I have a weird feeling that this is a high scoring game - like 7-5 Halos.

I see the kids being the ones that get the Angels through this series - if they get through it.

The Angels will win the ALDS in 5.  My forecast is for the Angels to go LWLWW.  If Lackey gets a split in his two starts the Halos will be alright.  The Angels must get at least a split in the first two games at Fenway.  Game 3?  Curt Schilling is 8-0 when I see him pitch.  Pete Rose's advice is don't bet on a streak to end.

by Yetijuice on Oct 3, 2007 10:43 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

I don't know about Rose,
but I've been to quite a few games at Angel Stadium where big streaks have been broken... whether it's an Ichiro hit streak or a pitcher's Win streak, i'm not afraid.  I'll be there Sunday.

How Boston's inherent (and explicit) racism with regard to their sports teams gets under the national attention radar is beyond me.  You'd better score a lot and bring home an NBA title, Kevin Garnett, or the Chowds will run you outta Boston faster than you can say Emmitt Till.

I hate Boston !
Rev. was right on with his description of the Bosox fans (fans is a polite word for what they are) as "sociopathic alcoholic white supremacists"...

I didn't think anybody understood the personality dynamic of the average Red Sox fan the way I do (having experienced their wrath personally at Fenway on several occasions) until I read Rev.'s description. And if you think "white supremacist" is a bit strong of a term, do a little experiment for me. Everytime the TBS cameras show crowd shots today, try counting the number of african-american or otherwise non-white faces. I think you'll be surprised.

yeah, at about 3:30PM right after Figgy's hit...
but in 162 games prior to that, it was a franchise best 284.  Go figure.

WE NEED POWER!!!!!

Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fourth inning
That's how long it took for the Stoneman bashers to emerge.  A masher in this lineup would not change the fact that Lackey has given up 8 hits in 3 innings.  It also goes without saying that a home run is not a quick cure here.  We need baserunners, which is what made us successful all season.  Jeez.

Butcher is such a clown
Why can't we get Chuck Finley or Mike Witt to be pitching coach?

Everyone needs to take a deep breathe
Everything is gonna be alright...We are 5 innings in against the Cy Young of AL and most of you are conceding the series....We will be just fine, we still have a shot in this game and we got Escy throwing tomorrow....

Step off the fucking ledge, get behind your team and have faith they will find their pantherism!!!

YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The time is now to step it up boys...Let's go Halos!

Aaaaaaand
your basis for your belief that the Angels will win this series is, what?  Boston has better hitting, better starting pitching, and better relief pitching.

And just as I write that, the Angels go down 1-2-3 once again.

Pfft.

realism has no place in the post season.
