Thread: ANGELS postseason thread

You gotta love that Dave Henderson threw out the first pitch!... it's closure!

If I were an Angels fan I'd definitely be rocking an avatar of Papelbon being all frowny in the dugout.

After getting ROFLstomped I wonder if he still thinks he's worth 13 million?

Anyway...please beat New York or I will hate you forever.

It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops.

An end of season tradition.

Does this picture work? Payback is a bitch.

I seriously hope this is the end of Red Sox bandwagoners. That **** is really pissing me off.

Don't count on it. I live within "Red Sox Nation," and the bandwaggoners are like cockroaches.

So that means no David Courtney at Staples Center for the Oct 22nd game against Dallas. Which is completely fine with me. I'm okay with having a crappy PA announcer throughout October as long as it means the Angels continue to win.

An afternoon game on a Monday? Stupid MLB, don't they want to INCREASE ratings?

Wow the first two games have been a heaping pile of Fail. Not sure what pissed me off more tonight, the blown save by Fuentes, or Izturis trying to be the hero and turning into a goat!

I'm sick of Mike Scioscia's stubbornness in allowing Vlad to bat cleanup.

I'm the biggest Vlad fan there is, but the guy needs to move to 7th or 8th in the lineup. This guy is just terrible now.

Also the deal with Kendrick. Yes, he struggled early and got sent down. But ever since he got recalled, he has been lights out. Yet he has to split playing time with Maicer Izturis. I don't completely hate Maicer and he deserves to play as well, but with Vlad struggling like a b*tch, Kendrick should be in there at the DH spot or something. Or at least let him pinch hit late in the game for Vlad.

Boneheaded play by Maicer should get him benched though, that's for sure.

And for Fuentes, 0-2 count and he throws a perfect pitch for A-Roid. That is plain stupid. He shouldn't have blown the save to begin with as well.

The Yankees have not been all that great this series, but the Angels are practically giving it away. They better smarten up and play better baseball back in Anaheim or else we're going to see the Skanks win the World Series.
