Since becoming an Angels fan...

[tdawg87]

I have never, ever disliked an Angel more than Ernesto Frieri. Just looking at him makes me sick to my stomach.

 

eom

[OregonLAA]

I've never been so nervous when our closer came in. I don't get why he is our closer

[Fontana Halo]

I disliked GMJ more

[RallyMo]

This has to be it for him. No more temporary demotions, no more chances.

This has to be it.

 

Oh, but it doesn't.

 

That's what sucks about this.

[Butcher'd]

My post was called hyperbolic when I said 3 weeks ago that he's an average reliever being put in the closer role...

 

Fact is he's not very good

I actually think that Ebell and of course Scioscia want to Lose! How else can you explain the pitching decisions night in and night out. And let's not forget all the times Ebell used to wave runners in that had no chance of scoring. Time for both to go and take Frieri with them.

[eligrba]

It was cool that he was allowed to stay in long enough to finish the job.

[wopphil]

Yep. He was solid earlier this week, so I'd be shocked if he got demoted after tonight. In fact, he needs to get back out there tomorrow to get back into a rythym and get the ball coming out of his hand well.

Then they suck at losing, because they've won more than they've lost.

[LaBargedad]

Yeah , they do suck at losing. They pretty much suck at everything. Time for them to go!

Labarge, you probably shouldn't start your tenure here by saying that people are losing on purpose. You won't last long.

[Redondo]

I have no confidence in him at all

[Willy J.]

Ernesto doesn't put himself in the game. . . can't even blame Scioscia since he was at Bob Welch's funeral.

 

Blame Butcher I guess. .  whoever, Frieri should never see work in a 9th inning ever again.

Seriously? Full pack Frankie didn't make you nervous?

Ernesto was traded for Alexi Amarista, who can't even make the Padres offense.  It's not his fault this team decided he was a closer.  He was a decent reliever for the Padres and he should be just a decent reliever here...yet we haven't had a solid closer since K-Rod.

in hindsight i would have rather kept amarista, we might have 3 to 4 wins more at this point.

[tennischmp]

Mathis, Wells, Freese and Ibanez say hello. At least Frieri has had a decent year with the Angels

[Chili83]

Ernesto Fire-can is your choice? Your fandom must not stretch back very far.

 

Willie Fraser (sort of Ernesto-lite)

Hmm, guess Ernutso continues the great tradition of hating mostly craptastic pitchers.

That way they can trot out from the bullpen to the mound and from the mound to the dugout to maintain their good gait.

[Willy J.]

How soon we forget. .

 

 

 

[Taylor]

"Hey guys, you forgetting someone?"

 

[Willy J.]

Oh yeah. . .  Kazmir was a disaster.

 

But not as bad as Blanton.

[jshep]

I'll never forget Kazmir's 15 run gem in Oakland
