  4. This, right here, is this year’s moment of maximum buttercup.

    We just beat the first place team in our division, Ohtani is back on MVP form, my dick is rock hard and I am ready to be let down again.

    # Light That Baby Up, let’s fucking go Halos!!!

  10. Well that was way more stressful than it needed to be.

    Anyways…. SERIES WIN BOYS

  21. Shohei with the impressive dong and Jacob Webb took out his firehose on the Rangers and put out that fire

  25. 3-1 against the division leaders. Sho with an absolutely mental series, bullpen shut things down, trout on the cusp, Mickey continuing to rake. This team is so fun!

  30. No way held it down in the 9th and won that!!

    #I USE TO PRAY FOR NIGHTS LIKE THESE

  31. What a huge series win!! Hopefully we can get a sweep in KC to be in great shape!

  33. Guys we beat one of the best teams in the league with 4 of our best guys being out/injured. This years the year boys. THE MARBLES DONT LIE!!!

  34. It’s a good day for the Angels, therefore the world. Rejoice in the joy that is Shohei stroking monster dongs on the same day he pitches!

  35. That was nearly a Nevin disasterclass on snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

  36. Never a doubt never a doubt

    Now lets get some infielders with their limbs still attached up here
