We know it....

[DMVol]

They know it....this division isn't up for grabs....we're playing for 9 innings against King Felix....

And then, if they miraculously win that game, playing to get swept by the A's in round one of the playoffs.

[mulwin444]

These last two games have shown they're not ready for prime time. They can pretend these are just "another game" but the A's are playing like this is a preamble for the playoffs and it shows. They don't execute like a team with playoff vets like Pujols, Hamilton, Aybar, Kendrick, Freese, etc.

[eligrba]

Pujols is 0-8 so far.

 

Pujols and Hamilton are leading this team into an early season end.  There is a reason why they were signed for large amounts of money.

Don't forget Nibbler. I give Weaver a pass because he overperformed relative to salary before the extension.

[Tyler]

Need Trout to play like Trout.

They cant do this without him.

[LAAMike]

0-5 at Oakland this year does not portend well for the postseason.  Let's win one tomorrow and build on it.

CJ has lived up to his contract so far.

[eligrba]

I stand corrected on Pujols....he is 1-8 in the series so far with the hall of fame infield single.

 

I think Hamilton should just sit down with two strikes.  It is the worst kept secret that the next pitch is an off-speed breaking ball that he will flail at.

Oh my god shut the **** up. We are tied for our division. Before the season, most of you would have been ecstatic to be here at this point. It's not like we have gotten blown out the past two games, the A's have simply won at home, that is what playoff caliber teams are supposed to do.

Shut the **** up with the idiotic "we aren't ready for prime time." We have the best record in baseball...nobody expected that. Jesus ****ing Christ quit the ****ing bitching and have some ****ing hope.

Of all the things that frustrate me about Mike Scioscia, it would have to be years like this one.  Everything seems to be clicking, and you'd think we were a World Series team by the month of June, then everything begins to unravel and look like the failures of seasons past.

 

Any greatness displayed by this team is short-lived -- which suggests Scioscia has no idea what works and what doesn't.  He's woefully incapable of lighting a fire under this team when it's needed most.

I might listen to you if there weren't F-bombs in every other sentence.

I'll condense it for you: quit it with this loser mentality. They're tied for first.

[QuinlansMinion]

This thread would be better served if it were made next weekend.  We still have 4 games against them next week at home.  

We have to win tomorrow and keep a 1 game lead at least going into that series. 

[stevestevens]

I refuse to believe that we are crap because we lost a 2 run game yesterday and a 1 run game today on a base running blunder and wild pitch.

I will continue to watch the team and believe we will win every game.

[dimitrig]

CJ has lived up to his contract so far.

 

In what universe? He hasn't had an ERA or WHIP as good as he did as a starter in Texas and that's AFTER leaving the band box they play in. 2013 was pretty good, but one out of three seasons doesn't give him a pass.

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

I am cursing because I'm drunk and you're acting like the season is over. So I'll repeat , shut the **** up and believe.

[mulwin444]

Who said it's over? I said they've looked unprepared and haven't executed like playoff vets. Where in my previous sentence did I say I'd given up hope for the rest of the season? Quit getting drunk on hyperbole and go sleep it off somewhere.

It's just so frustrating. They can't beat the good teams. They continue to shoot themselves in the foot by never being able to take care of business against Oakland.

 

Felix will make quick work of them in the wild card game too

[AngelsFaninGA]

It's hard to win games when you score 1 run, and until this team shows consistently that it's capable of better, there's really no indication they'll go anywhere in the playoffs. 

[Stradling]

They lost by a single run and CJ allowed one run and yet someone is calling him out for tonight? Get a ****ing clue. This game has nothing to do with Scioscia and CJ pitched good enough to win based on the fact he gave up one total run. This game is on the offense. Our 3-5 hitters took a shit tonight. End of story.

We don't tell you how to act.

Please accord us the same respect.

Thank you

Try hitters 2-5.

Are you really this angry about what some people posted on a message board.

 

I feel sorry for you

[Stradling]

I actually meant 2-4 but yea that's my point.
