I'm playing with fire: I want the Angels to win tonight to force a Game 7 they heartbreakingly lose.
I know that you really ought to kill the vampire while you’ve got the stake to its heart, but I can’t help myself.
Jigsaw falling into place
Jorge at the plate --> shades of the 2001 ALCS
I just don’t understand 60% of the posters here.
Rooting against the Yankees is like hating Coke if you're RC Cola
Whereas the Angels are 7-Up, and FUCK 7-Up

Awwww. I've been watching the game on mute.
What did they say?
Tim Mccarver couldn't imagine Hideki Matsui being anything besides a Yankee...
With the exception of going to Seattle to be with Ichiro (haha, because they’re both Japanese and two Japanese teammates automatically get along).
Ichiro called Matsui a skeevy, pock-marked little bitch

McCarver said that Matsui only wanted to play for the Yankees, or the Mariners to play with Ichiro
Inexplicably, he accepted the highest offer from the most prominent team in MLB

Yeah, throw your Blackberry into the ocean.
Stupid Corona.
It's difficult to hit when the pitcher is trying to pitch around you.
McCarver provides such insight.
Mike Scioscia is fat.
MLB's decision to use only veteran umpires
has really led to the elemination of inconsistent calls. What a farsighted decision.
Contrary to Jeff,
I for one do not believe that Joe Saunders is very good and I think today has illustrated why.
Didn't Vlad once hit a HR off a ball that bounced in front of the plate?
He is a very atypical batter.
Joe Morgan used Vlad's atypicalness to try and say that he shouldn't complain about a called strike outside of the plate.
I was hoping Jon Miller would say something to the extent of “um, no Joe, just because a hitter has a tendency to swing at pitches outside of the zone doesn’t all of a sudden mean that all pitches to him should automatically be called strikes”, but it never came.
I'm more like I am now than I've ever been.
It's such a shame too, because all of us can actually look forward to the postseason for the first time in wow it's really been a long ass time
It’s just a matter of getting through these playoffs without our hearts bein too torn to shreds. :-(
off-season*
My mind is going in four different directions with the ALCS, Sunday Night Football, and work.
The WS won't start for another month anyways

I vaguely remember t.v. scheduling a crapton of Roseanne re-runs way-back-when.
Before they had set schedules and ESPN had enough money to outbid the Big Three.
Go Yankees!
Seattlebruin isn’t even around, I can’t believe I’m doing this.
What the fuck do you say to Mariano Rivera in a mound conference?
“Hmm…Maybe try throwing the cutter next time?”
Which side is we?

I'd prefer to abstain
but given that we are one inning away from most people in my proximity becoming an even bigger asshole than usual, I can see your logic.

I was a little surprised when Santana didn't start.
FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS!
Fricking Angels, cant manage to beat the Yankees.
Angel win in this series would cause the Yankee fans so much pain after they were up 3-1 :(

I did, yes.
That is how I was able to identify the word that you were looking for.
Here’s a gold star!
Is there any sort of 'AL championship series losers curse'?
Like the superbowl loser curse?
That'll do it for the Yanks
Mariano is not going to give up minimum 2 more.

Well at least I can take this faggy Angel logo off my account

Their offense was only great because they did the little thing like
bat well with runners in scoring position.
Well that was about an inch
From being a grand slam.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
An inch on the bat or an inch in the outfield?
by Jeff Sullivan on Oct 25, 2009 8:47 PM PDT up reply actions
An inch on the bat is a huge margin.
I bet it was more like 1/8th of an inch on the bat
Your 2009 Angels
Defense sucks when it counts the most.

Not cool
Don’t speak ill of the dead like that.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
That seems fast to me.
But I’m not a scientist of that field.
Yeah, seems like it would be a pretty complicated formula.
Soil density, average precipitation, method of burial, composition of casket (if any), composition of body, etc. Those would all have to play a part.
LETS GO PHILLIES!
BEAT THE PINSTRIPES!

ARE YOU READY WEAVER?!?

2 runs without a hit
Thanks to the Angel fail.
