A win today could still send a message...

[Ohtaniland]

We need to somehow pull a rabbit out of a Troutless hat today to show the A's that we're not going to just rollover and die. It's an important game psychologically for the team against the A's top pitcher. If we lose with Weaver on the hill today we could spiral down to the abyss.  

[Jay]

I have a bad feeling about today but I hope I'm wrong.

[Homebrewer]

Abe Vigoda will be patrolling LF and hitting cleanup. Scioscia obviously agrees, it is vitally important to send a message.

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

Weaver vs Gray. It will probably be a battle of the bullpens. Hopefully, the Angels pen pitches a lot better than it has for the past couple of games.

[Glen]

My favorite part is how positive this message is.

 

 

You may beat us twice but you can't sweep us!  Take that!

[jimbo]

Ah yes, I can here Terry now "just another moral victory".

[ELEVEN]

I'll take Weaver in a game like this any F'ing time.

[Streetkid]

I agree. If we win we only lost 1 game in the standings. If we lose we lost 3.

[bloodbrother]

Looks like it's the A's who are sending the message

[Glen]

Oh, we're sending a message, all right.

God I can't way to see how they respond in Houston after being spanked by the division champs

A little dose of humble pie for them. They are playing better than last season, but they still have a long way to go to get on Oakland's level

[Angelsjunky]

"We're much better than you."

 

~Message from Oakland to Anaheim

[eligrba]

I think the Angels sent a clear message this entire series.  I can't wait to see what they have to say with Houston!!!

[tdawg87]

"Sorry for getting within 1.5 games of you, daddy. I'm just gonna go back to my room now. Daddy, why are you taking off your belt? Daddy please!"

[jimbo]

Wow! Thats really creepy.

[jshep]

"Sorry for getting within 1.5 games of you, daddy. I'm just gonna go back to my room now. Daddy, why are you taking off your belt? Daddy please!"

 

Oh my god, this is perfect and horrible at the same time.

[Ohtaniland]

[CaliAngel]

Wow! Thats really creepy.

 

And dark.

 

Very, very dark.

Message sent...

 

[Taylor]

This team f'n blows.

[Hollyw00d]

The A's rained down fire and brimstone

[Mark68]

Maybe we can send that message the next time we actually beat the A's.

 

So maybe 2015.

[70runner]

The message:  Angels will live or die with the prodigious moto of Pujols - Freese - Ibanez - Kendrick

[Hollyw00d]

The hitting wasn't the problem, though they definitely didn't step up.

the A's scored 26 runs in 3 games. Its hard to win when we let them do that
