Section517

I'm in a 12-team keeper league where managers can hold up to 5 players from the previous season. A manager picked up Bryant via free agency after last year's ASB and kept him towards this season. On a side note, the league I participate in has a bidding auction draft with $265 allocated to each team. The biggest reach in our draft was Joc Pederson (Doyers rookie) which several managers got into a bidding war and was eventually bought at $17. Gotta love fantasy baseball!

I have a group of five that want to attend this game. I have four seats in Section 517, Row A and need one more. PM me if you have season seats around me. I can pay you or swap for other another game. Thanks

So non-minorities and non-Southernerns raise their children better? F'in BS elitist statement.

The Angels acquired Teixeira for the second half of 2008. Too bad Scioscia had an epic brain fart calling for the suicide squeeze in Game 4 with a lefthanded batter which allowed Varitek a clear line of signt at Willits crashing down the 3rd base line.

In the not so distant future, the fat kid (Jeffrey Mayer) will get a plaque in Monument Park for his part in helping the Yankees beat the Orioles which eventually led to them to the 96 World Series. That dude has to be the anti-Bartman in New York being celebrated to this day and bagging all the white, pasty broads.

Panda = Gary Gaetti Part Deux

Who was the catcher? And was a courtesy reach around involved?

This goes beyond the NCAA. The regional accrediting bodies which accredit learning institutions should be involved conducting full audits of the entire university. Set an example and terminate its accreditation.

Maybe the Dodgers send a player and comp pick to the Angels in exchange for El Catorce. Which frees up the managerial position for Maddon.

He's "opted out" mentally since the bonehead suicide squeeze in Game 4 of the ALDS. Suicide squeeze with Aybar batting left so Varitek has a clear line of sight at Reggie Willits barrelling down the 3rd base line. Classic El Catorce.

IIRC, wasn't it Game 2 of the ALDS at home against the BoSux??

How about get a manager, along with a coaching staff, that can have players prepared to play in postseason games.

The subject heading of this thread should be changed to: It was a good REGULAR season. Because the Angels could have won 110 games during the regular season and it still would suck getting swept in the ALDS. Face it. Scioscia STINKS as an October manager.

Why even start CJ when you have have so little faith in him? Classic Scioscia. Panic mode during the playoffs. Doing something stupid in starting CJ only to double down and yank him after 2/3 innings.

C.J. Wilson is taking the mound in Game 3. It's very unlikely he can pitch as well as Weaver and Shoemaker. The Angels need 5 runs for any chance to extend the series.

Cowgill catches the RBI double that went over the lollygagging Hamilton in Game 1. Now, the series is tied at 1 apiece.

Some people tend to live in the past. More power to you. I see a trend of early exits from the postseason with an occasional ALCS appearance. Scioscia is the Bobby Cox of the AL. Actually, he's not even that good. The Braves at least made the playoffs every year for over a decade.

Maybe the Doyers will be desperate enough to make a run at Sosh after Mattingly blows another series to the Cardinals. Missouri teams > SoCal teams

2004: 0-3 record Swept by Boston in ALDS 2005: 4-6 record Beat Yankees 3-2 in ALDS. Lose to White Sox in 5 games in ALCS. 2007: 0-3 record Swept by Boston yet again in ALDS 2008: 1-3 record Lose to Boston in 4 games in ALDS. Note: It was Game 4 when Scioscia should have been fired for the absolute idiotic failed suicide squeeze play. Arte should have Kiffin'd him at John Wayne Airport. 2009: 5-4 record Sweep Boston in ALDS. Lose to Yankees in 6 games in ALCS. It's disgusting that Jeff Mathis is the last Halo with a walkoff hit in the postseason. 2014: Swept by 0-2 record (so far) to the KC Royals. There you have it folks. Mike's ultimate resume in the postseason after 2002. His teams most often fold quickly in the playoffs with the exception of 2009. Even the 2005 Angels folded quickly in the ALCS after Josh Paul's brain fart and Doug Eddings' ridiculous call of the AJ play. How much longer will Arte stand for being b#tchslapped by all the other AL teams in October?

Get there by 530pm. No one will show up early.

I did to buy ALDS and ALCS tickets.

Keep us updated. I am getting the same result from my computer. So I downloaded the Ticketmaster app, logged into my account, and have the tickets available on my LG G3 Android smartphone as a backup.

So former Long Beach State Dirtbag/LSU Tiger/LAAngels pitcher Jason Vargas will return to the Big A. Kendrick will need to lay off that soft away junk. Will Howie continue his hot and smart hitting ways from September into the postseason??

I'll be there +1 for Game 1. MVP View 522, Row D for $41. Game 2 in Lower MVP 414 Row E for $50.
