職棒大聯盟的播報員（二）

史高利
我是因為 Vin Scully 才願意看、聽道奇的比賽的。史高利爺爺的一人播報方式堪稱一絕，他冷靜的播報，旁徵博引的資料，還有酸度超高的批評，實在是無人能比。雖然爺爺有時候對外國選手有鬼打牆重複複誦資料的壞習慣，他絕對是我心中的播報員第一名。有人說他的播報很催眠其實有部分原因是因為他看過太多比賽太過於冷靜... 如果有去查他以前年輕的檔案聲音，你可以發現他年輕的時候的確是比較興奮些。(She's .... gone!)
姜米勒以及啾摩根
這個 Sunday night baseball 的主播球評組合聲音還算不錯，但是評價倒是普普, 我只是非常的不喜歡這些 ESPN 的播報員凡事提紅襪洋基湖人的態度。不是主播的錯，但是我還是要罵。紅襪洋基湖人道奇應該頒個什麼惠我良多的獎給 ESPN才是。(Good-bye! homerun!)

大聯盟職棒的播報員（一）

我非常痛恨白襪的兩位固定播報員，哈瑞森和傑克森。
白襪的球員被三振他們的播報法是 "......"
然後白襪打出全壘打他們的播報法是哈瑞森叫 "You can put it on the booooard.... YES!" 傑克森在 YES! 的時候同時喊出來...
我的感想是.. WTF? 太嗨了吧。

第二痛恨的是天使的某位播報員（連名字都不想講）。
天使的球員被三振他的播報法是 "STRUCK HIM OUT!!!!" (請用非常激昂的講法)
天使被雙殺的話，他的播報法是 "WHAT A PLAY!!!" (還是要用很激昂的講法)
但是為什麼自己的雇主的特殊表現就不激昂甚至還降低音調呢？
fuck.

Mickey Hatcher	米老鼠(Mee-Lao-Sue, Mickey Mouse)	跟球場老鼠無關。He is not related to Aramark Rats.
Tom Kotchman	烤雞爸(Coa-chi-Bah, Kotch's Father)	烤雞爸是我們喜歡的球探，而且也是烤雞人的爸爸！Tom Kotchman is a fan-favorite farm system scout. We love him because he signed many good prospects and is also Casey Kotchman's father.

Taiwanese Nicknames for LA Angels Fielders

On PTT (a popular bulletin board in Taiwan), we Angels fans often rant about the line-up. It's also a surprise that they all have some Taiwanese nickname. 以下是鄉民對天使野手的愛稱。Following are fielders' nicknames.

Fielders	Fan-given name	Explanation
Chone Figgins	Figgy, 腿姬/Leggy(Twey-gee, leggy), 腿/Legs(twey, legs), 阿腿(Ah-twey, lovely legs), Leggins, fichiro(like ichiro), Vladimir Firrero(only used when playing against Yankees), 腿哥(Twey-ge, Brother Legs), 腿爺(Twey-yay, Extremely respected legs)	對 Figgins 的愛是隨名字不同而顯現的，除了正常狀態的 Figgins 以及 Figgy。Leggins, Legs 以及 Leggy 都是不太好的狀態。隨著他的表現開始火熱，開始有了腿哥、腿爺的說法，接下來更有 Fichiro, Firrero 之類的組合名，終極火熱狀態的時候則成為了「泛用人形決戰兵器」(阿腿的本行是工具人，但是工具人又有速度所以變成超級工具人了，超級工具人又再加上打擊就成了泛用人形決戰兵器人造人類EVA簡稱泛用人形決戰兵器) (以上感謝 Levi 提供)
Gary Matthews Jr.	GMJ, GMJ*, G公(Gee-Gon, Respectful Gary), 激公(Gee-Gon, Respectful Hormone), HGH	打星號是因為在加入天使以前曾有人檢舉他有使用人類生長激素增進比賽成績，所以未來列入記錄時可能會加上＊記號。不過即使他使用了這東西，他也是在大聯盟有規範使用人類生長激素之前使用的。我們用＊的時刻還是有讚賞和羨慕他的成績的意思。Due to an incident that he alleged to have used Human growth hormone prior to the drug usage rules from MLB. The reason that sometimes we use an asterisk symbol is just that we envy his performance.

Howie Kendrick	幹譙龍(Gan-Giaw-Long), 演講比賽冠軍(Ian-Jian-bi-sai-gwan-juin, speech champion), HK47, 好姨(How-ii)	He is wearing number 47, so calling him hk47 is natural. About the Gangiaulong nickname, he looks a little (just a little) like this ....

Casey Kotchman	烤雞人(Kow-Chi-Ran, Kow-Chi Man)	滿滿的愛。/ We love you.

Taiwanese Nicknames for LA Angels Pitchers

Pitchers	Fan-given name	Explanation
John Lackey	姜蕾姬(Jiang Lay Gee), 辣雞(Lar Gee)	隨便從音近的國字找的，姜則是配合"韓國人"紅襪球迷 IronChef 的愛國心所命名。Just some arbitrary Chinese names that sound like Lackey or John Lackey.
Kelvim Escobar	交友男(Ji-ow-yo-nan, "a man good at making friends"), Myspacecobar, 愛司/愛思(Ace), 愛司扣八(Acecobar), 柯巴(Cobar)	他的 myspace 好友名單因為有著太多辣妹而遭 PTT 鄉民羨慕。愛司則是鄉民愛戴他的球風才有的愛稱。 He has a lot of HOOOOT myspace friends, that's why we call him myspacecobar or 交友男. Also we call him ace or acecobar because he looks like an ace.
Joe Saunders	桑德斯(Saunders), Hokie Joe, 桑德斯上校(Colonel Saunders), 桑同學(Saun-tone-shue, classmate saunders)	Hokie 是因為他從 Virginia Tech 畢業, 至於上校是跟 KFC 吉祥物上校同姓。 Hokie is from the name of his college virginia tech. And colonel doesn't need explanation if you know what is KFC.

Jered Weaver	小公主(Hsiao-gon-joo, little princess), 織織公主(Je-Je gon-joo, princess that weaves), 織織(Je-Je, weave-weave), 威佛 cosplay	髮型和姓的直譯。不過，有時候我們會懷疑是不是 Jeff Weaver 有時候跑來假扮公主。Literally due to the name and his hair style. Also sometimes we were wondering if it was Jeff weaver pitching.

波拉斯愛食蟻獸

From new univeristy:

4. You can meet Scott Boras. Interested in becoming a sports agent? Good news! The most successful sports agent of all time attends nearly every home UCI baseball game. His name is Scott Boras and he represents Alex Rodriguez, Manny Ramirez and Carlos Beltran to name a few. He’s also responsible for one of the greatest stunts ever pulled by an agent—somehow selling Barry Zito to the Giants for $126 million. He sits behind home plate and usually wears a brown suede jacket. Contrary to his reputation, Boras is actually a very friendly guy; what’s not to like? He’s an Anteater fan!

F*ck you adsense

To be honest, I don't care what happens to the fucking yankees.

And by the way, f*ck you TBS for the unfair coverage on redsox and yankees.

Fire Mr. Hatcher

Because of him, almost all angels players fell in love with the ground outs. Also, he makes those players work like a bunch of windmills.
From HH:

or FIRE HATCHER........
Sign Coach Haynes.....and our offence is SET.

New Coach for Anteaters!

The appointment is currently not official, since this still requires approval from UC Regents.
Reference:

Peter Yoon, Gillespie to coach UC Irvine, Los Angeles Times, September 25, 2007.

Chin-Lung Hu 2 for 4 and scored 2 runs

One the the hits on Saturday, 09/29 was a triple.

Hu got his second homerun in the major!

Previous Angels player that I miss a little: Ramon Ortiz

To be honest with you, I was kinda worried that Ervin Santana might become another R.Ortiz.
(update: It seems that my fear might come true. Check out September 24th box, and you'll know.)

Report: Fullerton To Hire Serrano

From baseball america:

"After stating last week that he was not going to Cal State Fullerton, Dave Serrano has changed his mind and will leave UC Irvine to take the Titans head coaching job, according to multiple sources. An announcement could come as early as today."

Update (10/5/07) : From the newuniversity

“We were all disappointed by the news; [Serrano] felt bad about leaving. But regardless, we’re going to come back and have a great season. We’ll get over it, we’re not going to let it stop us,” said the Anteaters’ junior ace Scott Gorgen.
