that Hudler is almost universally reviled around the employees of the team. However, he’s retained due to the fans similar level of love for him. Yet another feather in the douche cap for Angels fans.
Sure, Niehaus gets more excited for the M’s doing something good, but he’ll call an opposing team’s homer “BELTED!” or get excited about a good diving catch by the other team. Homer announcers bug me.
They will trash talk when things are not going so well. And they always talk about the White Sox as being “the good guys”, which makes it impossible to listen to them.
He just did what he thought was right at the time and it didn’t work out. I remember him saying at one of the ussm/ll events that signing pitchers scared the hell out of him.
As they say, the camera adds
10 hits, 4 walks and 6 runs.
kentroyals5 - March 28, 2009
I was about right...
kentroyals5 - March 28, 2009
Good thing I got that widescreen
so I can see over half of Carlos Silva at once.
marinerdan - March 28, 2009
I love this picture
JI - March 28, 2009
He looks so thin and malnourished
Dude, it’s ok to have a cheeseburger now and then.
JI - March 28, 2009
I think that we already know what it would look like
Robert - March 28, 2009
The cognitive dissonance created by the combination of those words and an exclamation point is making my head hurt.
Damn you, Sullivan.
ningwers - March 28, 2009
He might have been trying to be sarcastic
Robert - March 28, 2009
I would hope so.
ningwers - March 28, 2009
PS - Totally joking, by the way
ningwers - March 28, 2009
I don't blame him because exclamation points are fucking awesome.
Robert - March 28, 2009
When used in moderation.
At least within a single statement.
(GTE excluded, of course)
ningwers - March 28, 2009
I can't think of a single other type of punctuation that portrays excitement better.
Robert - March 28, 2009
Interesting hypothesis.
“Honey, we’re having a baby!”
“Hurray?”
I think you may be onto something.
ningwers - March 28, 2009
It's a shame I can rec this but once.
JI - March 28, 2009
I want to add a zig zag in order to show confusion but there is a lot of red tape to go through first
Robert - March 28, 2009
Well that's a first
ningwers - March 30, 2009
We have to wait
A whole other week before regular games. This is freakin’ killing me. :p
section331 - March 28, 2009
Yes Angie, you have enhanced my viewing experience in ways previously thought to be unobtainable.
JI - March 28, 2009
Phyisoc and Hudler!!!
JI - March 28, 2009
Oh, yay....
ThundaPC - March 28, 2009
It seems like the entire MLB is cutting corners on ST broadcasts.
JI - March 28, 2009
If only TV and radio broadcasts synced up.
shinallsrevenge - March 28, 2009
DVR
JI - March 28, 2009
You and your technology
shinallsrevenge - March 28, 2009
I'm not paying the extra $120 a year either
JI - March 28, 2009
Rex Hudler can't be for real.
JI - March 28, 2009
Having lived in LA for five years
I assure you; Rex Hudler is very real.
TheBishop - March 28, 2009
It still doesn't make sense
Again, the line between Andy Kaufman-level comedic genius and mentally handicapped blur when Hudler’s involved.
marc w - March 28, 2009
ReI would say Huldler is on drugs but it is so flamingly obvious he would have been fired if he were.
JI - March 28, 2009
I have it from an inside source at Angels PR
that Hudler is almost universally reviled around the employees of the team. However, he’s retained due to the fans similar level of love for him. Yet another feather in the douche cap for Angels fans.
TheBishop - March 28, 2009
He's a cross between a stoner, a tv evangelist , and an annoying radio announcer.
JI - March 28, 2009
You left out flaming asshole
Who I want to kill.
TheBishop - March 28, 2009
Tony S - March 28, 2009
Aand I think I'll watch this on mute.
shinallsrevenge - March 28, 2009
Hmmm that looked like a strike...
BrettJMiller - March 28, 2009
I'm only going off this terrible angle from left-center field...
kentroyals5 - March 28, 2009
I was talking to my wife about that.
If there’s a runner on second, he blocks the camera’s view of the catcher when he takes a lead. Horrible.
JLProck - March 28, 2009
And the first salvo in the Palmer-Balentien feud is fired
shinallsrevenge - March 28, 2009
Apparently Griffey is on the team this season.
JI - March 28, 2009
"Granted it's Spring Training but...."
No, just stop talking right there.
OlSalty - March 28, 2009
I would argue that even those words are unneeded.
Matthew - March 28, 2009
Somehow I don't think that's how that conversation went
JI - March 28, 2009
Endy Chavez is a good version of Juan Pierre.
JI - March 28, 2009
Here we go here we go here we go here we go here we go
Who the hell writes these songs?
OlSalty - March 28, 2009
Who let the dogs out ooonst ooonst who let the dogs out
Kermit. - March 28, 2009
Sadly we do not get to see the Angels' commercials.
JI - March 28, 2009
I'm sure I'll be sick of them before long.
bluemax - March 28, 2009
Hudler
Runner thrown out at third = good!
JI - March 28, 2009
Maybe he knows he's
on air in Seattle and is trying to look at things from a Mariners fan’s perspective. I bet that’s it.
TheBishop - March 28, 2009
nahh
hudler gets excited over anything
anaheim angels - March 28, 2009
Yes, I miss the Mighty Willie Bloomquist already
JI - March 28, 2009
Yeah, Woodward's not making the team
JI - March 28, 2009
The Mighty Willie Bloomquist?
Wakamatsu needs a replacement for him? Chris Woodward is that guy?
Sweet Zombie Jesus this is painful.
BrianL - March 28, 2009
"Angels"
That’s a tough password to crack
JI - March 28, 2009
Reegie bomb!
ThundaPC - March 28, 2009
The Angels would welcome better competition from the rest of the AL West?
BrianL - March 28, 2009
We're the LMU to their Gonzaga
JI - March 28, 2009
REEEEEEEEEEEGIE wooo
OlSalty - March 28, 2009
REEGIE!
kentroyals5 - March 28, 2009
Reeeegieeeee!
Hope we can keep this kid somehow
Kermit. - March 28, 2009
REE-GIE FUNK BLAST
JI - March 28, 2009
I am not watching the game and my first instinct was that y'all were celebrating a Reggie Willits home run.
Matthew - March 28, 2009
We actually would
JI - March 28, 2009
I know.
I didn’t miss a beat until I saw the extra ‘e’.
Matthew - March 28, 2009
It's good to know that Torii Hunter can identify where the Sun is
OlSalty - March 28, 2009
20 minutes ago Blowers is saying we need to keep Cedeno because he's a veteran and blah blah
One homerun later he’s waffling.
Kermit. - March 28, 2009
Blowers wants to cut Ronny Cedeno?
JI - March 28, 2009
Nah, he was saying the difference maker if you had to choose is Cedeno has veteran experience and veteran presence
Kermit. - March 28, 2009
Cedeno is a veteran?
JI - March 28, 2009
Isn't Blowers great?
Kermit. - March 28, 2009
Not really
JI - March 28, 2009
If you mean dreamy, yes.
royalcurve - March 29, 2009
Grab your bottle openers!
It’s Corona time!
PositivePaul - March 28, 2009
Corona is a terrible beer and nothing can ever change that no matter how hard some people might try to convince themselves of it.
Robert - March 28, 2009
I got some Bass, on sale.
msb - March 28, 2009
When it's ice cold, it's not terrible...
But once it’s anywhere above “not quite frozen” temperature, yeah, it’s ass.
PositivePaul - March 28, 2009
BS basehit.
Yea, take that.
ThundaPC - March 28, 2009
Brad Adam "*I got the best seat in the house"
cut to him yukking it up with Kreuger
JI - March 28, 2009
It is the best seat in the house to end Krueger's life.
Matthew - March 28, 2009
The CF concourse is nearly as good for that
fewer tv cameras
JI - March 28, 2009
Next to Zalumis???
PositivePaul - March 28, 2009
Grrrrr.
I can’t STAND seeing that sacred number on the back of such a cow!
PositivePaul - March 28, 2009
Cows are sacred in India.
Maybe moving to India would fix your problem?
Wilder. - March 28, 2009
Butterglove!
PositivePaul - March 28, 2009
Nice job, Silva.
ThundaPC - March 28, 2009
Bad throw?
No, Carlos Silva is a piece of shit defender
JI - March 28, 2009
HE'S MISTER HANKY THE CHRISTMAS POO!!!!!
PositivePaul - March 28, 2009
It's not too many pitchers that could shut out the Dutch national team for seven innings
JI - March 28, 2009
Silva falling behind the count on every hitter.
ThundaPC - March 28, 2009
He's really only effective when he walks under 10 batters a season.
JI - March 28, 2009
Don't != does not
JI - March 28, 2009
Lovely condesending commentary.
Rex: “Yea, you Mariner fans might have your own nickname for Wakamatsu but we called him ‘Wak’.”
ThundaPC - March 28, 2009
Wow.
Why didn’t we think of that before!
Wilder. - March 28, 2009
Wakamatsu is entirely to long to be pronounced by the human tongue.
JI - March 28, 2009
I hear he's half Japanese....
…but you wouldn’t know it to look at him…
section331 - March 28, 2009
The first closer candidate Hudler can come up with?
Messenger!
JI - March 28, 2009
Hudler has the worst fake conversations ever
JI - March 28, 2009
This "here we go" song
Sounds like it was ripped from South Park
JI - March 28, 2009
So let me get this straight
Not only do we have to wait an extra week for real baseball, you’re also going to make us listen to this god damn song for that entire week?
Why are you so cruel FSN
OlSalty - March 28, 2009
It better ONLY be for a week
Or I will burn something down….
section331 - March 28, 2009
Nice.
ThundaPC - March 28, 2009
Angie Mentink: "We're unappologetic homers."
Then why are we listening to Rex?
ThundaPC - March 28, 2009
I've never thought that this was a good thing.
Sure, Niehaus gets more excited for the M’s doing something good, but he’ll call an opposing team’s homer “BELTED!” or get excited about a good diving catch by the other team. Homer announcers bug me.
BrettJMiller - March 28, 2009
^This.
The White Sox announcers in particular.
Eyeball Kid - March 28, 2009
They are the worst.
They will trash talk when things are not going so well. And they always talk about the White Sox as being “the good guys”, which makes it impossible to listen to them.
Wilder. - March 28, 2009
This just can't be his real voice
JI - March 28, 2009
i just turned this on, who are these announcers on FSN?
Smegmalicious - March 28, 2009
They're the Angels announcers
OlSalty - March 28, 2009
It's kind of a nice change
Smegmalicious - March 28, 2009
"Wait til you feel the love in this guy's heart"
JI - March 28, 2009
I am so looking forward to having Silva start 1/5 of our games this year.
IceStormV1 - March 28, 2009
as if on cue
wooooooooooooo
IceStormV1 - March 28, 2009
I'm starting to think that Silva blows.
JI - March 28, 2009
Silva is so bad
usabaseballfan - March 28, 2009
Woooo, Silva!
Keep eating buddy.
Smegmalicious - March 28, 2009
That was a hot shot, but it should hav been gloved.
Smegmalicious - March 28, 2009
Goodluck on a bad hop at your head.
kentroyals5 - March 28, 2009
He's a pro, he should have had that.
It’s not like they’re playing on a terrible field full of potholes or something.
Smegmalicious - March 28, 2009
probebly
Still does not change the fact that Carlos Silva blows and best belongs in either Long relief or in Tacoma.
IceStormV1 - March 28, 2009
Whoa calm down Hud
He’s kind of scary when he gets excited.
OlSalty - March 28, 2009
From Silva to Batista. Wow.
Smegmalicious - March 28, 2009
I can look forward to that this season?
BrianL - March 28, 2009
out of the frying pan...
IceStormV1 - March 28, 2009
And into the huge pool of lava you were holding the frying pan over.
JLProck - March 28, 2009
I fucking hate Bill Bavasi for making me watch Silva, Washburn AND Batista.
EnglishMariner - March 28, 2009
I'm right there with you, buddy.
I’m so glad he’s gone, you have no idea.
Smegmalicious - March 28, 2009
As an Angels fan
I can sympathize with this feeling.
Zu Long - March 28, 2009
Hope this means we will be dominating the AL West 5-7 years from now.
Fin - March 28, 2009
$31 Million this year.
ThundaPC - March 28, 2009
Do you think Bavasi feels any shame?
kentroyals5 - March 28, 2009
I doubt he's smart enough.
kevin_ess - March 28, 2009
He's not a dumb guy.
He just did what he thought was right at the time and it didn’t work out. I remember him saying at one of the ussm/ll events that signing pitchers scared the hell out of him.
Now we know why.
Smegmalicious - March 28, 2009
Who's broadcast is the FSN feed today?
msb - March 28, 2009
Angels
Fin - March 28, 2009
Ridiculous Angels guys.
kevin_ess - March 28, 2009
I just got home and turned it on-- expecting Dave, as Rizzs was on the radio side ...
imagine my surprise.
and ooh, Silva AND Batista.
msb - March 28, 2009
It's what, 112 to 5?
msb - March 28, 2009
Have the Angels broadcasters noticed there is a new manager? new GM?
pretty big overhaul?
msb - March 28, 2009
That would involve recognizing the relevance of the world outside of Orange County
ningwers - March 28, 2009
Bruce Hinse is coaching third today?
msb - March 28, 2009
*Hines.
msb - March 28, 2009
Et tu, Roy?
abender20 - March 28, 2009
JEFFIE!
BrettJMiller - March 28, 2009
Whatever they pay Phyisioc, it's not enough
JI - March 28, 2009
Godammit Messenger don't blow this
WE NEED YOU
JI - March 28, 2009
We are getting power raped right now.
Yeah, we have 9, but hot damn.
BrettJMiller - March 28, 2009
Part of it just a tiny zone today.
Even Fuentes and Shields were having trouble with it.
Zu Long - March 28, 2009
The other part of it is that Carlos Silva, Miguel Batista, and Randy Messenger have all pitched in this game
OlSalty - March 28, 2009
That definitely hasn't helped you guys.
Zu Long - March 28, 2009
I was planning on being happy about today
…but I’m not allowed to have nice things.
section331 - March 28, 2009
Football score ahoy!
JI - March 28, 2009
Wily Mo Pena released by the Nats.
Take one home today! Just two easy payments of one million dollars.
abender20 - March 28, 2009
But, wait! there's Mo!
msb - March 28, 2009
SHAM MO!
kentroyals5 - March 28, 2009
I wonder how Red would feel if our roster featured both Wily Mo Pena AND Adrian Beltre.
BrettJMiller - March 28, 2009
I thought Wily Mo Pena was already on our team.
JI - March 28, 2009
Black people do not share a collective consciousness retard.
Robert - March 28, 2009
Then who was stumbling around center field the second half of last year?
JI - March 28, 2009
Danny Fortson
abender20 - March 28, 2009
Hey Guys
My cousin Randy Messenger was supposed to get some time in today. Can anyone tell me how he did.
Sorry didn’t have time to read through the thread, I’m baking cookies for Nana
Tony S - March 28, 2009
he definitely pitched a baseball to batters
ermac - March 28, 2009
Nevermind, it's okay, thanks though
Tony S - March 28, 2009
He was awful.
abender20 - March 28, 2009
Your cousin is Randy Messenger?
God where is acblue when you need him?
abender20 - March 28, 2009
Hanging out with Mars Volta last I heard.
Matthew - March 28, 2009
If this is true then I send my condolences.
Robert - March 28, 2009
Deloused made me think they had so much potential...
