It's too soon.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Go American League!

NicJ said...

AL? this is barely baseball.

Kyle Baker said...

well fuck. i would have been working less and watching gameday more if i knew there was a GWT up.

AL, wow. when does the pitcher get a turn to try to hit the little white ball?

Kyle Baker said...

HAH-hah! Jeter hasn't hit a HR yet. He's slippin'. Media must be speechless.

NicJ said...

if there is any bright side to our team playing so poorly in this round of the post season its that maybe the yankees wont throw a massive contract at Kemp, Ethier, Kershaw, or Brox.

NicJ said...

Scott Boras counting his money behind home plate to the right of the angels logo.

Kyle Baker said...

Scott Boras sits on a throne of lies!

Nostradamus said...

God bless you all, but there is no (reasonable) outcome of this game that would satisfy me, so I'll abstain.

NicJ said...

I dont like the angels at all, but it makes me so sad when i watch them play the Yanks or the Sox and all their stupid fans outnumber the angels fans.

Nostradamus said...

@Nic j

I was at Sox/Angels game 2. It may not have been 50/50, but it was damn close.

Kyle Baker said...

Kazmir coming undone already. That was bound to happen.

Nostradamus said...

Has anyone released a sack full of rabid badgers in the stadium yet?

PenosCabell said...

These umps are horrible.

NicJ said...

haha, swisher is such a douche.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I guess the missed call on Swisher negates the missed pick-off call. I can't believe we're talking about umpire calls negating each other in the playoffs.

NicJ said...

watching this game makes me remember how much i hate the yankees.

I have nobody to root for now.

Unless we win, but lets not get crazy.

NicJ said...

It appears that the Manny "Showergate" incident is being pushed hard as a story. I couldnt really care less.

Nostradamus said...

I'm still rooting for badgers.

NicJ said...

does it snow in Anaheim?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Badger isn't that far of a reach from Dodger. I'm with ya, Mr. C. Go Badger Blue!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Okay, now I'm ready.

Nostradamus said...

@MLASF

Nice. I would definitely tune in to see a game that could get called on account of badgers.

NicJ said...

Damn i would hit homeruns too it i got a hot towel massage in the dugout afterward.

NicJ said...

smart play by Hunter

NicJ said...

looks like the umps owe the angels another make up call.

NicJ said...

Haha, "Bullshit" chants so close to disneyland?

MR.F said...

LOL. The showergate story is absurd.

Orel said...

The shower story is what happens when East Coast writers write about West Coast baseball. Wouldn't be surprised to see Plaschke pick it up, though.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

So, the refs are returning to the NBA. Good news.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

All Mychal Thompson and Stu Lantz ever say is that guys are young.

"He'll bounce back, he's a young guy"

"His leg may be broken, but he's young, he'll pull through"

"I know he just had a heart attack, but I think he'll be fine, he's a young kid"

Kyle Baker said...

What's this about badgers? I want to see badgers.

Nostradamus said...

@dusty

You and me both. There's still a chance.

Orel said...

The Yankees are relentless. 7-1.

Erin said...

In the category "Comeback Kids" on Jeopardy tonight, the answer had something to do with an 80s child star. The question? "Alyssa Milano."

Hmm. "Comeback Kids" and Milano in the same clue? Make of that what you will.

Orel said...

What did I say?

Orel said...

10-1 Yanks. Some NL team is going to be in for quite a challenge.

Paul said...

God I hate the Yankees. They make everything boring.

Orel said...

Works for me, Erin!

Kyle Baker said...

I don't have to show you any stinkin' badges!

Oh wait, you said badgers.

JuanLove said...

NLCS still seems doable for the dodgers.
maybe i'm biased

this one however, looks over.

Orel said...

Dodgers, meet Angels.

MR.F said...

If it's Yanks-Phils, I'm cheering for the Yankees. Please don't let it be Yanks-Phils.

Nostradamus said...

9 innings, and not one damned badger. Not even a stoat to be seen.

Paul said...

Where are the sons of Jerel? I hate watching the Zods win.

Steve Sax said...

Gotta thank the Amgels for reminding us that a 3-1 hole could be a lot worse. Getting whipped at home like that? Ouch.

Come on, Angels!

Kyle Baker said...

COOL! There is a banner ad between posts on SoSG that has something to do with pirates (not the ball club that beat our ass recently but the swashbuckling kind). Arrrrrr!!

NicJ said...

I personally liked the AD about heart attack survival.
