What an epic moron

[FenwayFrenzy]

Aaaaaand, cue the shitshow.

[Wingack]

HAHHAAAAA

Playing Angels Baseball!!

[Andrew]

The Angels are required to fuck up epically on the basepaths at least 2 times each ALCS game.

[Couperin47]

Vladdy being Vladdy....

[Rudy's Curve]

That's a HR in Fenway.

No it isn't, because it's still a number of feet to the right of the pole.

Pesky Pole HRs are extremely cheap, but they're rare.

[LateRally]

Buck: "Jeter to his left"

McCarver: "Jeter was cheating in the hole"

One is a beautiful thing to hear. The other, not so much.

[Max Power]

The Angels play the game the right way.

I didn't think I'd be able to post that one in the second inning, but there you go.

[ifmanis5]

Why are the Angels so bad at baserunning?

[carver]

Jeter should have turned around and run towards third base, then jumped in the air...then he would have been out!

[JBill]

Why do I have to root for this stupid fucking team.

[Hyde Park Factor]

Huge brain cramp by Vlad there.

[BowdenHype]

How come the Angels didnt play like this in the ALDS?

[Kilgore A. Trout]

Watching Vlad run is an ugly, ugly thing.

You ain't kidding.

[brienc]

Once again, gotta love the way the Angels play the game.

[Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat]

The Adenharts really do the little things the right way.

[carver]

No it isn't, because it's still a number of feet to the right of the pole.

Pesky Pole HRs are extremely cheap, but they're rare.

And they're all hit by right-handers, who get that weird angle to the pole.

[TheYellowDart5]

How did a team as stupid as the Angels make it this far?

[SonsOfCharlieZink]

Sosher has him get caught on purpose. There is genius behind this!

[Ed Hillel]

1 out, 2 men on!

Oh wait...

[carver]

Why do I have to root for this stupid fucking team.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, right? At least until I see a closeup of Abreu...

[BowdenHype]

Kendrick on base yet again...yet that useless pile Chone is still leading off

[Ed Hillel]

It actually is remarkable he's only been called for 12 balks.

[radsoxfan]

And they're all hit by right-handers, who get that weird angle to the pole.

Um, not really. Righties can slice it around the pole, but when a lefty pulls it, it hooks in the same direction as a righty hitting it to the opposite field.

[SonsOfCharlieZink]

Vlad is playing AAAngles baseball!

[Kilgore A. Trout]

Probably as embarrassed as he was hitting HRs down the RF line at Fenway. Or cheap doubles and singles off the monster.

In other words, I really doubt it

Doubles off the monster (a lot of which would be a HR) is one thing. As is the very, very rare ball wrapped around Pesky's pole- five feet from the pole in play and its an out. A sad pop-up halfway down the wall to the power alley going out is entirely different.

[jon abbey]

Do not mock the MVanP.

Come on, Andy.

[mBiferi]

I know I'm late, but Vlad is a fucking moron.

[BowdenHype]

Angels are just missing pitches to hit right now...

[TheYellowDart5]

And how did the Angels make it this far with Juan Rivera getting as many at-bats as he did?

[BucketOBalls]

Do not mock the MVanP.

http://sonsofsamhorn...p;#entry2608917

Come on, Andy.

This is why they made you a mod isn't it?

Fair enough. And congrats.

[Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat]

I know I'm late, but Vlad is a fucking moron.

He should have used a rubber, huh?

[Toe Nash]

How did a team as stupid as the Angels make it this far?

Papelbon is stupider

[BowdenHype]

Do not mock the MVanP.

http://sonsofsamhorn...p;#entry2608917

Come on, Andy.

Haha, yeah. Show me his 2009 postseason numbers.
For that matter, show me his CAREER postseason numbers, this isn't the first time he's come up incredibly small in the playoffs.

[bosockboy]

Watching Pettitte out there reminds me of Game 6 in 2003....where we were staring down the barrel of Burkett vs. Pettitte (in his prime) to avoid elimination and we made it out alive. One of the all-time reverse lock wins; only to be wasted a night later.

[shawnrbu]

Are they seriously ballwashing Cano for what he did in batting practice today?

[khgiddon]

Haha, yeah. Show me his 2009 postseason numbers.

Because a stretch of 39 PA's shows how good he actually is?

[EvilEmpire]

Sure, but we were talking about a ball Damon hit into the corner just foul. I mean, c'mon, at least wait until until someone hits one into that RF power alley. It'll probably happen sometime tonight. Don't be so impatient.

Imagine for a moment if Buck was replaced by Dick Stockton. How awesome would that be?

[brs3]

Swisher should be good for a DP here.

[carver]

Um, not really. Righties can slice it around the pole, but when a lefty pulls it, it hooks in the same direction as a righty hitting it to the opposite field.

I don't have the stats in front of me or anything, but I have personally seen more from right-handers. Nick Green's walkoff and a Jason Bay chipshot this season spring to mind...

[Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat]

I'm wondering what type of display he put on. Fashion show? Tupperware?

[Hyde Park Factor]

If Saunders gives him a reason to swing...

[Kilgore A. Trout]

Well I was talking more in generally about Damon in the bidet, not just about the foul ball.

[kartvelo]

Douchebaggery.

That was the last time NY won a postseason series against anyone but the Twins (those should be their own category).

[staz]

I'll go with "Christmas Village"

[LateRally]

Whoa, Truped myself on that one

[Kilgore A. Trout]

By the way Jon, I always want to ask- what is your avatar? A battery, a soda can, or a punching bag?
