[Headfirst For Hardcore]

I hate the Angels. So much. Them and their brown logo helmets. The Yanks need to step up, they always suck against them.

I'm hoping the Dodgers get to the WS against the Yanks. As big of a Yankee fan I am, seeing Joe Torre winning in Yankee Stadium and telling the Steinbrenner kids to kiss his ass would be great.

Going into the Playoffs, I had 2 teams that I was rooting for (LAA and COL), and now I have one....


Let's go Angels!

 

[Headfirst For Hardcore]

Joe Buck and Tim McCarver are the two worst announcers I've heard. Fuck them and their monotonous, boring, biased, asshole commentary. Made me sleep through game 1 yesterday.

anyways, the Dodgers still are looking good, and the Yanks hopefully can get their bats working against the Angels. Their pitching is really good, though.

 

[PeepShow]

Joe Buck is probably the best TV commentator in any sport, especially in the NFL w/ Aikman. Torico and Michaels are up there too I guess. I do agree that McCarver is fucking awful though.

 

[Headfirst For Hardcore]

his football calls are OK, but baseball pisses me off. especially when he's calling a Yankee game. He can absolutely shit on a Yankee if he does something good, but if someone on another team does the same thing, his face is so far up their ass. and he seems to overreact on little plays and sound like he doesn't care on big plays. I hate that.

Like saying "What a Job by Darren Oliver." If it was Joba Chamberlain, it would be calling him immature or some other crap like that.

That is so true. It gets to the point when I am watching a game that he calls I am more mad at him then at the Yankees when they are playing like shit lol. I sometimes just put on some music or something and watch Jeter and the Soon To Be 2009 World Series Champs do work lol

So the Yanks are up 2-0, and you're already saying they're going to win the ALCS AND the World Series?

Ok lol maybe it is a bit premature but regardless its just an opinion. But what I think is the 2009 Angels are nowhere near the team that the 2004 Boston DeadSox Were

Can't believe there are still so many non believers here. The Yanks got it this year. Plain and simple. Deal with it.

Yeah, thats I smile when people say that the Yankees are gonna BUY a World Series ring. That shit has been SO damn played out FOREVER.

 

[Travis40]

^Actually.....they are buying the WS. Just name 10 players on that team (without looking it up), that the Yankees drafted, and brought through their farm system.

Actually, I think the 09 Angels > 04 Sox



The Angels find ways to win, when it seems that it's all over......I found that out in the regular season.

Jeter, Posada, Rivera, Pettite, Duncan, Gardner, Hughes, Joba, Robertson....

Hmmmmmmmmmm, seems like they have a pretty good amount of guys that were brought up through their system???? First 4 I stated actually are the core of the team, were there in 96, 98, 99 and 2000 and funny how they are there this year too...hmmmmmmmm....someone must be thinking Arod plays the entire infield, Texiera plays the entire outfield and CC pitches to AJ every game....tsk tsk....don't know what to do with you man.
