Jeez, Kendrick...

SI

horrible AB by Kendrick (looked as bad as Ellsbury against arredondo)

Yeah, he and Figgy are good friends. Makes you wonder...

Woot!

SI

Woohoo! Within one!

Who's next? Crap, it's Aybar.

fuckin masterson - get it over the goddamn plate

I like how Aybar tried to duck that one into a ball. lol

Not quite...

there we go justin - good rook

Shoot. One closer. But one closer inning to the end, too.

No Shark Bite this time.. but the JAWS theme was playing at 150db there.

Well, there was a one run bite. You guys were that terrier that got bit by a shark, and then Masterson, after dicking around for a bit, punched the shark in the head to free the dog.

And Jacoby.. free tacos for the nation if you steal a base.

That wouldn't be hard. We don't have a Molina back there anymore. As a catcher, Napoli...


...hey, did I tell you about his bat?

*chuckles* I gues this is a non-traditional use of K-Rod, but this is a must stop situation

Wow. No one covering on the play?

If it was Aybar who missed the sign on covering 2B, he just made up for it there.

Still has to make up for the AB, though, he and his partner Kendrick.

We needed Garland this year, so I guess it worked out, but how much better would it have been to have OCab in that spot when we needed a big hit? Izturis, who is hurt, is more likely to get that hit, too.

Chief: I don't know about you man, but this game feels like a 200 minute (so far) heart attack.

Chone!

SI

Chone, baby. I take back everything I ever said about you.

I know it does for me and I don't really have a vested interest in it except for a minor dislike for the Red Sox and a desire for this series to go longer than 3 games :)

SI

SHITFUCK. Should have brought in Javi or Paps

Oddly enough, that resignation thing is a serious kicker. Of course, I care, but I feel like the fan of a team that has already lost or is guaranteed to lose. So there's not much pressure. Joy at making a run, but no pressure. Yet.

We'll see how it goes if we actually catch you, though.

I'll say this: great fuckin' game! :)

And I'm laughing when I say this.. I tell you what, if the Angels fail to score Figgins from third with no one out, and I was an Angels fan, there would be some serious 57 channels/Springsteen action on my TV "So I bought a .44 magnum it was solid steel cast/And in the blessed name of Elvis well I just let it blast"

...

SI

You gotta be kidding me.

Tie game!

SI

Hell yeah!

Tie game. Are we having fun yet?

Have to say, if I was going to bring in Paps for six outs, I would have done it BEFORE the triple.

But the big bats for the Sox are up in the ninth. Ortiz, Youk, Drew, Bay.

Yup. And K-Rod's the perfect pitcher for you.

And as I am typing this, Ortiz get's a double. Well, at least K-Rod will start trying now.

PAPI!

At least Papi is out of the game.

Napoli's doing it again. Sheesh.

Bull.

Missed call. Crisp still hasn't touched 2nd since Aybar had it blocked

SI

Looks like he was safe on the 2nd look.

Second replay, second thought. It was a good call by the ump. Damn tough to call.

okay - gotta say

between tori hunter and aybar these angels are some whiney fucks. can they stfu and play?

Completely biased, but it looked like the tag was out in front and never touched Coco until the swipe at the end.

Not at first, but he slipped his foot in. Just before Aybar reached back.

There we go. Drew with the Angel killer.

BAM!!!! JD DREW!!! MONSTER POSTSEASON HR'S!!!!

It was a close call. Give them a break, huh?

The angles that we saw didn't really show when he touched the bag since he slid in between his legs and one of the legs obscured the area where his foot would have first touched the bag.

Starting to get in their heads? Where the fuck have you been, dumbass announcer?!?

Well, anyone who has watched the Angels this year knew that was coming eventually. It's amazing K-Rod doesn't have more blown saves this year. He just never has an easy 1-2-3 inning.

but on both of the close calls the guys were jumping up and down and shouting hysterically...i dunno, frankly i thought it was more funny than anything else that they had identical responses practically

Yeah, you're worth $15 fucking M, Frankie.

You want to see a guy who's actually worth that? Look at the closer in the other dugout.

Unbelieveable. Just wow.

I suppose. But really, right now, with us getting beat by you guys again, I just don't want to hear you badmouthing us, too. We're taking enough shit from ourselves. So we don't really need the help there.

Mickey Mantle-esque power. Please
