Anyone watching the Angels - White Sox game?

[KitchenWitch]

Lou Piniella sounds like he is more than half drunk.

[Reciprocity]

1. Cards/Stros and it’s not pretty. 0/3 cards

I’ll give them a listen during the c-break.

[KitchenWitch]

2. I have been flipping to that game during the commercials

I am rooting for the Angels...

[kanrok]

3. BASTARD!

er...bastardess. Dambnable Twins fan.

[KitchenWitch]

5. ROFL

Guilty as charged!

Nice DP, huh?

[kanrok]

7. HEY!!! HE WAS SAFE!

I have a fatalistic attitude. If it's meant to be, it's meant to be. On the bright side, The Bears play the Vikings. At least they will win this week.

[KitchenWitch]

10. Yes, daBears should win handily

We have a crappy coach, a team that cannot play its way out of a paper bag, and a Viking Sex Scandal to deal with right now.

[kanrok]

12. Sex scandal? Do tell.

[KitchenWitch]

13. Here

I am so cynical that I believe that this happens all throughout professional sports, the Vikings just got caught.

[kanrok]

14. So long as no crimes were committed

and it's all consensual, it's all good. No story there. BTW, the Bears SUCK. Their vaunted defense is susceptible to the bomb. Our corners suck. I see the Vikes coming together and kicking the Bears ass. But for some reason the Vikes have problems in Soldier Field.

[KitchenWitch]

15. Supposedly there was prostitution

I have no issue with consensual sex, but the puritan attitudes here in the Twin Cities (ya know, all the scandinavians here) are not so open to such things.

[kanrok]

16. Scandinavians hire prostitutes too!

Ya, hey dere, Ole...say...why don't we grab some lutefisk and score a prostie? (I'm imagining a conversation between two horny scandinavians here).

[KitchenWitch]

18. LMAO

Yeah, but they will not admit it!

[JVS]

47. Yah, you betcha!

[mermaid]

44. Not If You Mean Rowand

no way, he was out at the plate, good call...bad gamble on Rowand's part, he shoulda stayed at third.

[mermaid]

45. Booooo Angels!!

We win, we win, we win!!
Kiss our black-and-silver asses!

You got no right to complain, with all the horseshit calls that went against the Sox in Game 1.

Yeah, it was a horseshit call, 'bout time one of those went OUR way!

[KitchenWitch]

50. You know, hon, as much as I am rooting for the Angels

I did not tell anyone to kiss anyone's ass last night when they won. You may want to bring it down a few notches.

[mermaid]

52. Hey...No Mercy For The Enemy

Far as I am concerned, the Angels are the enemy.

And you should SEE what I had to say about 'em last night. You don't even wanna know, trust me.

But I made an excellent observation about the Angels Avatar, why it is an A with a circle around it.. :D

[KitchenWitch]

53. I did, I found it offensive

[mermaid]

55. Oh Well, I Found Your Ump-Assisted Victory Last Night Offensive, Too!

n/t

[KitchenWitch]

56. Note: I am not an Angels fan

[JVS]

59. Yeah, but you've been rooting for them which is just as bad if not worse

I could understand why an Angel's fan would root for them, that makes sense. The only motive I could see you having is Twins-related spite. What an ignoble motivation!

[KitchenWitch]

61. UM no, not just a Twins thing

I happen to be moving to Orange County within the next year.

[JVS]

62. So then you're an "expecting" Angels fan or what?

[KitchenWitch]

63. I happen to have liked the Angels since Rod Carew went there

[JVS]

64. Would that not make you a fan?

[KitchenWitch]

65. My true allegiance is with the Twins

But I like the Angels, so sue me

[mermaid]

66. You're Rooting For Them...And That Means You Support The Enemy...

the bad guys.

Come the hell on, I haven't seen my beloved White Sox win a pennant in my entire freaking lifetime, can't you give me a break!?!?!?

[KitchenWitch]

68. And my Vikings have never won a Superbowl

I could give you a break if you would choose to reign in your language.

[mermaid]

69. Well, If It Matters To You

I was rooting for the Vikings a few years back, when y'all had Randall Cunningham as your QB...what was that, 1998 or 1999??

In either case, I was rooting for the Vikes that year.

[bigwillq]

4. I hate Lou.

Some say Lou's coming back to the Bronx. I hope not. Never thought he was a good manager.

[KitchenWitch]

6. He is the Bobby Knight of baseball

I think he is even a bigger hot head than Billy Martin. At least Billy Martin was a good manager.

[bigwillq]

8. True.

Lou's an asshole.
Bobby Knight could coach though.

[KitchenWitch]

9. Yeah, I concede that about Bobby Knight

I don't have to like him though!

[bigwillq]

11. I don't like Bobby either

He's a cry baby.

[Zomby Woof]

20. Um

He carried the Reds, who were expected to be swept, in a WS sweep against the A's, and turned the Mariners into a consistently winning franchise after decades of sub-.500 ball. No other living manager ever led their team to 116 winning games (I blame 9-11 for throwing the Mariners rhythm off, they never regained that momentum after play resumed).

As for his temper, he always expresses remorse and humility - unlike Knight, or others like him, who never apologize for their behavior.

He just loves the game. Lou is the only Yankee I ever respected, along with the late Lou Gehrig.

[Zomby Woof]

17. I LOVE LOU!

And if he is drunk, more power to him!

I sure miss his days as manager of the Mariners. He was always a riot!

[KitchenWitch]

19. He caught that damn ball!

AJ was OUT!!!

[Oeditpus Rex]

21. No question

Blew the call.

Let's see if it hurts.

[KitchenWitch]

22. Gods I hope not!

[Ekirh]

24. It Did

Game over.. . . damn . .

Home Plate Ump fucked up .. plain and simple.

[Oeditpus Rex]

25. Yup

If I were Scioscia, I'd protest. Oh, wait... game's over. You can't.

[mermaid]

46. Too Damn Bad!

Yeah, it was a horseshit call, no question. But such is life...and, last night, with all the horseshit calls that went against the Sox...you got no right to bitch.

And the other horseshit calll of the night was Crede being called out at 2nd on that fly. No damn way, he was safe back in!!

You'd have thought, until that horseshit call on the third strike by AJ, that the umps were on the payroll of the angels.

EVERY lousy call has gone against the Sox until just then.

[GOPisEvil]

23. The umpire just cost the Angels this game.

Well...Crede still had to get a hit, but that ump screwed up big time.

Shades of 1985 and Don Denkinger.

[Oeditpus Rex]

26. Normally I'd say no

Umpires rarely win or lose a game. You can always point to other things that happened.

But this time, I agree.

[Zomby Woof]

27. Yep

With 3 games in Anahein coming up, I still think a 7-game series in their favor is in order.

[mermaid]

54. sox Have The Best Road Record In The Major Leagues - Don't Forget It!!

WIN OR DIE TRYING!!!

GOOOOOOOOOOO YOU WHITE SOOOOOOOOOOXXXXXXXXXXXXX!!!

Sorry, had to get my patented "Andy the Clown" holler in there!!

Longtime Sox fans will understand what I mean by that.

[Blue_Tires]

29. '91 was bad as well

with Kent Hrbek

[KitchenWitch]

31. I am a Twins fan, and Yes, that was a bad call as well.

[GOPisEvil]

32. Oh yeah...

...but I'm a Cardinals fan, so I focus on '85. ;)

[realFedUp]

34. A pox on the Sox

That plate umpire called out twice before
the catcher rolled the ball out onto the
field and all the Angel players were coming
off the field.

This wasn't a win, it was a steal.

[mermaid]

49. Yep, And I Couldn't Be Happier!!

Goddamn selfish bastard angels!! WE haven't had a pennant since 1959, you guys oughta just lay down and die for us!! IT'S OUR GODDAMN TURN!!

I have waited all my life to see a White sox pennant, and if you guys deny me that, the Angels will forever be on my shit list!

Much like the Cardinals already are for beating my beloved 'Stros last year!

Goddamn,, I am a long-suffering fan, NEITHER of my favorite teams has won a pennant in my entire lifetime!!

I been a White sox fax for all my 34 years, and a 'Stros fan for 20. And I have YET to see either one of my teams get a pennant.

Now go home you rotten Angels, and you rotten Cardinals!!

Damn you, trying to ruin my dreams of a Sox-'Stros Series!!

[Blue_Tires]

28. OMFG

ANGELS GOT SCREWED WORSE THAN (fill in the blank using your imagination)

[KitchenWitch]

30. The USA since * was selected?

[Blue_Tires]

33. that will work

i was going to post something obscene and in poor taste, and caught myself

[JVS]

35. Yay!

[KitchenWitch]

36. That "victory" is tarnished!

:P

[JVS]

37. I didn't see it, I'm at the office and just looked at box scores.

Sometimes calls go for you, sometimes they go against you. That's life.

[KitchenWitch]

39. It was not a run of the mill bad call

It was "Heidi Game" bad.

[JVS]

40. meh

[JVS]

38. I didn't see it, I'm at the office and just looked at box scores.

Sometimes calls go for you, sometimes they go against you. That's life.

[mermaid]

41. Yeah, Well...

Kiss our black-and-silver asses...last night you'd'a thought the frickin' umps were on the Angels' payroll with all the shit calls that went against the Sox.

I'll agree with you, that was a horseshit call on that third strike, but we'll take it any way we can get it!!

Kiss our black-and-silver asses, it's a win in our column!!

[KitchenWitch]

42. okay

:eyes:

[JVS]

43. That's the spirit!

[mermaid]

51. Better Believe It!! WIN OR DIE TRYING!!!

Damn, I do love Ozzie-ball!!

My battle cry has been, all year long, "Kiss our black-and-silver asses!!"

And for my other beloved team, the 'Stros, it has been "Kiss our orange-and-white asses!!"

[never cry wolf]

48. Agreed

Tonight I thought there were many close calls against the sox too. It's a shame that Josh Paul is in the middles of it, kid from buffalo grove, former WS. I saw some replays that looked like he maybe bobbled it after the initial catch...

I'll take it, Buehrle was a warrior!

[Oeditpus Rex]

57. Gee, I love a gracious winner

Especially when it's a win like that one.

[KitchenWitch]

58. No shit

:eyes:

[mermaid]

60. After Your Angels Cheap, Ump-Assisted Victory Last Night....

what other reaction could you possibly expect?

[Oeditpus Rex]

67. See my post in your other foul-mouthed thread
