Episode 62: 11 innings is all we need May 29, 2006

Show notes

Angels win their first extra inning game of the season as they defeat the Minnesota Twins 4-3 on Orlando Cabrera's walk off single scores Chone Figgins from third. A much needed win to keep the momentum flowing for the boys in red. Steven plays hurt tonight and still has the energy to rant on our abysmal batting average with runners in-scoring-position, .238.

Episode 61: Stupid broom May 28, 2006

Show notes

Still can't seem to find the broom and sweep an opponent. Baltimore takes the final game of a three game series 7-6. Angels battled hard tonight and came from behind a few times, but tonight was a matter of hit-em-where-they-aint for the Orioles. Steven guarantees a win tomorrow night since his "big dog" will be on the hill and Jeff continues to insist that loosing a game where you battle hard, but come up short is not a real problem -- especially when you have taken four out of the last five. Good show, maybe the best show ever.

Episode 60: Little Weaver is lights out May 27, 2006

Show notes

Very exciting evening down at the Big A as the halo lights for the fourth consecutive night. Seven innings of shut-out baseball while only allowing 5 base-runners is enough to remind us of why it was worth the wait. After sitting out a year while trying to work out a contract we now see that his game has not suffered from the lay-off. May he have many more nights of making this team better. Unfortunately the residents along the 6th fairway did not get to see Steven's disgusting exhibition of full frontal nudity.

Episode 59: Vladi and the kids May 26, 2006

Show notes

On the road in Palm Springs, Jeff and Steven celebrate a real winning streak of three in a row. Big fun tonight as Vladi goes yard without leaving the yard. Steven guarantees a victory in Jered Weaver's Major League debut tomorrow or he goes streaking on the 6th fairway of Cathedral Canyon Country Club.

Episode 58: Two in a row is twice as nice May 24, 2006

Show notes

The Angels win a series for the first time in a month and should enjoy the plane ride back to southern California tonight. With hopes that the poor play is something they have put in the past, Jeff and Steven bask in the fun of a boring win. Jeff Weaver gets a stay of execution until his next start by allowing only three runs in six complete innings. Vlad Guerrero continued his terrorism of Rangers pitching by getting a hit in his 42nd consecutive game. If we win the next nine in a row, we will be back to .500.

Episode 57: Cuban blessing for the Angels May 23, 2006

Show notes

Kendry Morales makes his Major League debut tonight and provides a breath of fresh air to the lifeless Halos. Jeff and Steven can hardly contain their giddiness as they celebrate a rare victory. Vlad Guerrero continues his ownership of the Texas Rangers and hits in his 41st consecutive game against them. Steven wavers in his support of his big dog, John Lackey, but Jeff points out that Adam Kennedy was not his friend tonight by misplaying a few balls which led to 3 unearned runs.

Episode 56: Another one bites the dust May 22, 2006

Show notes

Tonight we lose another game we could easily have won. In rejecting the established Mike Scioscia formula of starter for six strong, Donnelly in the seventh, Shields in the eighth, and Rodriguez to finish it off, it seems that all bets are off. Why, oh why? The only bright spot was Vlad Guerrero extending his record of consecutive games with a hit against the Rangers to 40.

Episode 55: Humiliated by the other L.A. team May 21, 2006

Show notes

The Dodgers finish the sweep of our boys and push us further into depression. Jeff and Steven take matters into their own hands and burn tickets from recently attended games. All things considered, we are playing pretty... no, that's not true -- we stink. Jeff rants on Dodger fans and their significant lack of class and contrasts this with the experience of attending a game in Anaheim. The differences are striking. That is all we can hang our sorry little caps on right now, so it will have to do.

Episode 54: Sending the 8 million dollar man packing May 20, 2006

Show notes

Another day, another frustrating loss for Halo lovers everywhere. The rhetorical question of the season: "how much worse can things get" is answered as we send Edgardo Alfanzo on his way and pay him to never play for us again. Jeff raves on the courage of the organization to swallow a pill this large, while Steven wonders how long he can keep doing a show about doo-doo.

Episode 53: Record setting night... for the Dodgers May 19, 2006

Show notes

Jordan Ellis joins father and uncle and tries to bring good luck to the floundering Angels. After attending one of the most painful games in Angels history, we try to take comfort in the fact that we still have a little ways to go before we overtake the 1968 Angels with the worst seasons ever. We try to keep our heads up and have hope for tomorrow.
