ALCS: Angels vs Yankees

[bostonguy]

I don't care for neither team but in this situation, I will be rooting for the Angels as if they were my own team. Fuck the Yankees!

[symple19]

God I hate both of these teams. Can't they both lose?

[Betsy]

I am very happy that Boston is out. :p:
Go Yankees Go :hat

[Betsy]

Boston guy fuck the angels. So there :ihit

[crc21209]

Fuck the Yankees! :tu

[bostonguy]

Boston guy fuck the angels. So there :ihit

I am going to be flip flopping alot in this series. I hate the Angels with a passion right now. They finally beat Boston in a series and act like they are the world champs. I despise the Yanks as well so this is a lose/lose for me. At the moment, I wouldn't mind seeing the Angels getting their asses beat even at the expense of the Yanks going to the World Series. Damn I wish both teams could lose.:depressed

I felt the same way in the 2008 NBA Finals.

Maybe this will cheer you up:

I would seriously be fine with that. The dodgers are my second favorite team due to them having my all time favorite red sox player Manny on their.

Baseball scorekeeping is a joke.
Infield pop fly that Angels go "I got it no you take it" falls between the short and thirdbaseman and it's ruled a single.

I don't think Lackey gave up an real earned run last night.

[crc21209]

Yankees-1 Angels and their errors-0

I find myself in complete agreement with a Fabbs post. (Reminder- check for flying pigs)

Scorekeeper should have the option to enforce something like a 'team error' in such a situation. The pitcher should not be penalized with earned runs and the batter should not be rewarded with a base hit or RBI.

PA DIFFERENT FOR JETER (http://www.ocregister.com/articles/angels-fans-yankees-2610686-new-york)
Mark Saxon
OC Register

NEW YORK - If you noticed the public-address announcer sounds a bit different when he announces Derek Jeter, that’s because he is.

When Bob Sheppard stepped down after four decades as the voice of Yankee Stadium a couple of years ago, Jeter requested a tape of Sheppard continue to be played for his at-bats.

What Jeter wants, Jeter gets.

So, Sheppard, two weeks shy of his 99th birthday, still announces Jeter.

“Now batting, No. 2, Derek Jeter… No. 2.”

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

c'mon yankees 2 on 2 out bottom of the 9th

damn that was close

I wonder if ARod has just been trolling all these years and just wanted to be clutch in the playoffs when he felt like it.

I guess I don't see how it's possible for a Sox fan to root against anyone playing the Yanks in the playoffs...

[bostonguy]

I guess I don't see how it's possible for a Sox fan to root against anyone playing the Yanks in the playoffs...

In any situation I would but Angel fans were serious douche bags after last series. Acting like they won the world series just like Tampa did last year. I was so happy to see the Phillies beat that ass in 5, and part of me is happy to see those fucks down 2-0.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Angel fans generally overlap a ton with Charger fans, and they are all serious assholes.

[crc21209]

The Angels so far are basically handing over this series to the Yankees because of their errors! WTF!?!?

dumbass defensive mistakes.

I hardly ever meet an Angel/Charger fan. And Charger fans are seriously the biggest pussies. They aren't assholes cause they are scared of everything.

errors including Fuentes decision to feed ARod an 0-2 meatball.
Baseball 101 throw him to a zone thats unhittable/single at best.

Two playoffs of overated FRod blowing saves now Fuentes. :depressed

Long game (13 innings) but the Yankees pulled off game 2. :toast :p:
Go Yankees Go

4-3 Angels bottom of the 7th

Good ending.

[Bukefal]

damnit yankees lost :depressed

[dirk4mvp]

lol yankees

[bostonguy]

This is the 2nd game in a row where the Yanks pitching is unable to hold leads. I would be concerned about that if i were a Yanks fan.

[The Gemini Method]

Great game last night if you're a casual fan of baseball as I am. I tend to root a little more for the Angels than the Dodgers because contrary to belief, the fans I have encountered at Angels games are alot more friendlier than the fans of the Dodgers. I, though, have to laugh at Red Sox fans calling members of other fanbases douchebags, becauase, well, let's face it--both Red Sox and Yankee fans are not w/o their baggery.

i too follow the Angels more...i think its cuz i keep winning free tickets on thier radio shows. LOL

[lefty]

I'm sure the Angels have a newfound confidence

They won't make stupid mistakes anymore; watch out, Yankees.

[bostonguy]

Tonights game should be interesting. Yankees pitching is showing it's true colors as I felt it would. Blowing leads in games 2 and 3. Tonight the Yanks ace CC hits the mound. It wouldn't shock me if he has a bad game.

same here...3 days rest with the yankees bullpen probably tried. This aint no 45 degree weather in the rain...the batters are gonna HIT.

[bostonguy]

This series is now about who will lose to the Phillies in the world series.

[dirk4mvp]

Why are you all watching baseball? The Pats-Colts afc title game is on espn 2.

[baseline bum]

The third base umpire should be shot. First he screws up on the tagging-up call, then he only calls Posada out when neither player was on the bag? What a fucking retard.

I can't wait to read the explanation on that one. One of the most blatant blown calls I've ever seen.

[IronMexican]

I was watching that. And I saw the Rams - Titans before it.

[Mel_13]

I’ll have audio from Girardi, Sabathia and umpire Tim McClelland – who made a statement essentially saying he missed two calls at third base – shortly.

http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2009/10/20/cc-pitches-alex-hits-and-the-yankees-are-one-win-away-from-the-world-series/

[bostonguy]

Dominant win for the Yanks. I gotta give them that. To watch them bitchslap the Angels like that in their own house was a nice thing to see(This is the only time I will ever say that I enjoyed a Yankee win). This series is over. It is going to be the Phillies vs Yankees in the 2009 world series.

[crc21209]

Well this series looks like it's over...:lol

[TheMACHINE]

damn the yankees looks good. All thier new players are owning.

[K-State Spur]

The Yanks look pretty unbeatable.

The only solace I take on that is that I can't recall a postseason (not even last year's) with more apathy surrounding the sport - even with some big markets still in it.

There were more people pissed off that House started late on Monday than there were excited that postseason baseball went into extra innings.

[Jacob1983]

Game 4 was a joke. The Angels gave up and let the Yankees fuck them up. The umpires were a joke too. How many calls did they miss or get wrong in that game. I'm really hoping that the Yankees are going to get overconfident and cocky and choke against the Phillies in the World Series.

While those were some bad calls, luckily it didn't lead to any runs being scored in that inning.

They look unbeatable so far against the AL. If they do indeed make it to the world series, they will be a facing a team much much better than anyone they have faced. The Phillies have that championship swagger and they are the defending champs. I think it would be a competitive series but I just can't see the Yanks beating this team. That is the series I expect Arod to be back to his choking self. That is the series where the Yanks pitching gets outduled by the Phillies pitching. That is the series I expect the Yanks bats to go cold. That is the series I expect the Yanks as a team to fold overall and lose their 3rd straight world series.

[IronMexican]

The Angels finally look like they are just trying to find the gaps.

[Spursfan092120]

Let's do this shit, Angels...beat them fuckin Yankees.

[bostonguy]

Wow. 6 runs in the 7th?:lmao:lmao@the Angels.

[bostonguy]

Another run scored. Man who wants to win this game?:lmao Phillies are licking their chops.

[bostonguy]

I'd love to see the Yanks blow this lead after that comeback. At the same time, I wouldn't mind an Angels meltdown.

[symple19]

Vlad need to come up big

[symple19]

hopefully this will start to look VERY familiar to you Bostonguy

[symple19]

nice...DOWN WITH THE EMPIRE

Vlad and Morales coming up big time, but can they hold the lead?

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

bases loaded

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

c'mon swisher you can do it!

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

damn

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

well back to New York for this one

[dbreiden83080]

Great game Yanks will still be alright back to NY

Go Yanks!!!

[Alonzo Harris]

How in the fuck are there so many Spurs/Yankees fans? Pretty interesting I must say.

[KSeal]

Cool, baseball on Saturday. Go Angels.

"Broxton is one of the best closers in the NL"

[KSeal]

"Broxton is one of the best closers in the NL"

Leave me alone you fucking idiot. Look up his stats, he is one of the best closers. He blew a save, it happens to the best of them. Papelbon, Street, Franklin were all great closers this year and they all blew huge games this post season. Maybe the offense should have scored more then four runs off Joe fucking Blanton and the Philly pen.

[Jacob1983]

I would love to see the Yankees lose game 6. That would be awesome. And you know what would be even better? If they lost game 6 and then choked a big fat in game 7. That would be sweet.

[IronMexican]

Broxton is balls and always has been. I pray to Allah this team gets a real closer this off-season. Broxton is like Bills. They are both mental midgets. The moment either faces adversity, you might as well mail it in.


And only reason I am calling you out ids for that dumbass thread you made. Making fun of Lidge when Broxton is shit as well.

[EricB]

Im curious as to what "closer" is available this offseason your gonna get thats better than Broxton.

Remember your owner is getting a divorce so not much money will be spent :lmao

[crc21209]

Hell yeah fuck the Yankees! :tu Back to New York we go!

[bostonguy]

Both of these teams are such pretenders in comparison to the Phillies. Their pitching can't hold leads for very long. The Yanks pitching has blown leads in all the games CC wasn't pitching which was 3 games and the O got them that win in game 2. They were just lucky the Angels pitching couldn't hold leads either. Angels go up 4-0. Then the Yanks score 6 runs in the top of the 7th. Then the Angels score 3 runs in the bottom of the 7th. Man one of these overrated teams is fucked come the World Series and I am going to enjoy every bit of it.:toast

[dbreiden83080]

I live in NY but Duncan has always been my fav player, Yanks are my team since the days of Donnie Baseball..

So, what does that make the Boston Red Sox if they got smoked by an overrated team? Even more like shit? If you want to call a team overrated, you've got to start with the Red Sox. That is a team that continuously given head by ESPN and the like.

Anyhow, what a game to behold. It went back and forth and for one night--it made baseball bearable to watch. I'm not sure if the Angels can pull of game six (or, if there will be a game 6 since its supposed to rain), but at least they've put up a bigger fight against a better team than the Dodgers did. Not that going down 4-2 is of any solace.

If they do make it to Game 7, then it'll be interesting since the pressure would solely be on the Yankees' shoulders to avoid being the 4th team in MLB history to blow a 3-1 lead.

[Technique]

Yup, New York Spurs fan here too.

How did this turn into a Boston Red Sox convo especially when I was comparing both of these teams to the Phillies? Plus I didn't think this years Sox team was all that. Hell they didn't exactly finish the last 2 months playing great ball. Lucky for them Texas sucked even worse. Don't believe me? I was posting that during that time span.

I love how an Angels fan gets so defensive when I call his team overrated. Your team isn't good enough to win it all this year. Even if you somehow win this series, the Phillies will kick your ass in the next round. That will mean at the end of the day while you may have finally beaten Boston, you didn't get the ultimate prize.

[KSeal]

Could call up Chris Withrow to cover the closer duties next year :)

[Jacob1983]

Game 6 is probably going to be rained out and probably won't be played until Sunday night. I bet the Phillies will be happy about that.

[FlavoredIcecream]

Go Lakers, Go Steelers, Go Yankees.

Been a fan all my fucking life. Game 6 here we go. :lobt2:

[crc21209]

Well...no game tonight....this benefits the Angels in my opinion and the Phillies even more. :tu

[Bukefal]

I was looking forward in watching the game :( anyway, Yankees will kick ass! Go Yankees!

[KSeal]

Cool, baseball on Saturday. Go Angels.

Fail :depressed

[Trainwreck2100]

Anyone remember when the world series was over by november, not starting in november?

[ducks]

when is baseball going to start playing in rector roofs and not just outdoor
stupid
yankees have enough money should have put a rector roof on it

[KSeal]

Please win tonight Angels. I would love to see CC and crew choke their brains out tomorrow.

[ducks]

kind of like torre huh

[KSeal]

Saunders getting out of trouble early.

[Mel_13]

Played with fire once too often

[bostonguy]

Angels making some really pathetic errors that lead to a 5-2 game. Fucking idiots.

[bostonguy]

Here we go. Yanks up 5-2. Let's see if the Angels can pull any more magic out of their ass.

[JamStone]

Rivera actually looked hittable in the 8th, and he had a long sit down in between innings.

Could be interesting, but probably won't be.

[bostonguy]

2 outs away. Pull that magic out of your ass angels. Get the Ralley Monkey out!

[bostonguy]

1 out away. Comon get the damn Monkey out.

[bostonguy]

Best of luck to the Yanks in the world series. They are going down to the Phillies in 5 or 6 games.

[bostonguy]

As for the Angels.......:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao :flipoff

[KSeal]

Angels making some really pathetic errors that lead to a 5-2 game. Fucking idiots.

The Phillies are the defending champs. Phillies>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Twins,Angels by far. Again I will admit I am wrong if Yanks get the job done, but I have read this story before. I read it in 2001 and 2003.

You can't be wrong.

You want the Yanks to lose. I understand.

They'll either win or they'll lose.

Your offseason will be slightly more tolerable if they lose.

I've been there. I've spent a lifetime rooting against Boston teams.

And I agree about the Phils. They'll be far tougher than the Twins or the Angels. Their lefthanded bats and arms make them a particularly difficult opponent for the Yanks.

Just hope the weather holds up along I-95 and the Series doesn't last until Thanksgiving.

Instead of trying to do anything possible to protect a 1-0 lead (not that they were going to hold the Skunkies to zero all game) Socia sits on his arse and lets Saunders meltdown to the tune of 4 batters and 3 runs before finally bringing in Oliver.

Hey retard, this is an elimination game. How about having people up in the pen at the 1st sign of chokage. You had Jared Weaver, etc at your disposal.

Socia has become Torre. Regular season good then gonzo in the playoffs.

[bostonguy]

And to think, those fucking idiots swept your team out of the playoffs.
:lmao:lmao
So after FINALLY beating Boston what did the Angels do? What did they do KSEAL? They LOST in the ALCS. And yeah they are fucking idiots for how they played tonight and this series with those errors. At the end of the day, the Angels and Red Sox accomplished the same thing....no championships. You don't get a world series championship for beating Boston in round 1. At least when Boston overcame their Yankee demons in the 2004 alcs, they finished it with a championship. Angels overcame the red sox demons and LOST in the ALCS.

[Bukefal]

Go Yankees! Now the phillies :)
