They took away my coke but let them in with that thing? Must be some money changing hands somewhere.

The ending to this game reminded me of that game against the A's we lost when Molina threw the ball back over the head of K-Rod. I've been searching for the video of that, but my phone is almost out of juice. Can any of you find that?

Maybe some cute Hispanic female did a really good job of making herself look pregnant.

Second largest crowd in twenty years

Sure, how soon do you need it?  Is 2023 good enough?

I had to work tonight so I didn't see the game.  My joke was because the winning run for the Angels scored on a passed ball.  Lots of people get passed ball and wild pitches confused. 

Think of it this way, passed balls are what you deposit in the toilet after eating lots of beans.  Wild pitches are when you approach a female you have never seen before and say "I think we've met before, what's your name and phone number again?"

 For the record I wasn't sitting on the toilet when this game ended.  It took me 10 minutes to comprehend what had happened, and I was sitting on a sofa in front of a 60" TV, and watching with a lot of concentration.

Anyone who was at the game?  Please tell me this didn't last long.  Disgusting.  But probably gave them the bad juju that lead to that gorgeous walkoff K!

I didn't even notice it.. I think I just got up to grab a beer when that was taken.

I like that butthurt Dodgers fans are butthurt... about the flag... and 27 seasons without a real flag.  

Prohibited items:  Banners/signs, over 3' x 12'

I wonder how many teardrops were tattooed due to last night's shenanigans. 

[Angel Oracle]

Hey Grandal, defense is not a 4 letter word.   Heh heh heh

Big props to Simmons, continuing his ASG type work, and to Meyer and his now sub 2.00 home ERA!

Is Bedrosian going through late ST like dead arm period?   Very ordinary this past week

[HALOS23]

Was at game last night. About 60/40 in favor of Angels fans but it did get loud when Grandal hit that HR. Nothing like a walk off like that though. Laughing as I'm walking out. Good times. Meyer got squeezed a few times but hr was def wildly effective. Bellinger looks more like Bell rung up...6k's in 9 AB's vs Angels...

I was at that game with my brother, who I was visiting in the Bay area. We were sitting behind third base and that play seemed to unfold in slow motion... Jason Kendall running down the third base line and the ball trickling away from the mound and in no-man's land between the pitcher and the shortstop. Horrible ending. There are pictures but video? I don't know.

I just think it took Maybin a while to realize the ball got past the catcher. AFter all, it was a passed ball and didnt hit the ground before hitting the catcher's mitt. It wasnt a lack of hustle, it was just an unusual play. Once he realized it was beyond the catcher he ran hard UNTIL he saw the throw passing him. Then, he let up, figuring the ball would be caught. Just a very unusual play.

One thing's for sure. Grandal might have had the most memorable ninth inning in MLB history. Hitting a game-tying HR on the 3-2 pitch with two outs...........and then committing a PB and throwing error on the same play that leads to a walk-off win for the other club is doubly memorable.

[yk9001]

As Salmon said on the postgame, Maybin delaying the run caught Grandal by surprise, so instead of just chucking the ball down there, he double clutched, threw softer...and screwed it up.

Doyers won on 4 wild pitches in the 9th just a few days ago.

Maybin playing the long game got Grandal to cave. Great strategy
