it's one game

[Schildog]

Get a grip peeps.

[Stradling]

My big fear is the offense sleeping through an early exit because of the three days off.

[joeywings]

CJ Wilson in game 3.

We needed this badly.

[fan_since79]

They've been snoozing ever since the 10-game win streak.

[Chimi]

It's not one game.  This is just an extension of what was going on at the end of the regular season.  They're 5-10 in their last 15 games.  The offense has been struggling to score runs and having a nice break isn't going to help either.

Yep. They looked terrible tonight vs who will probably be the worst starter(stuff wise) that they see this postseason. Not good to see

[jimbo]

Weaver came to play, Hamilton came to check out the chicks.

their success was completely contingent on the offense performing.  The worst part was watching them miss hittable pitches.  I'll give them a game of jitters.  We'll see if we let them matrix there way thru the rest of this series.

It was one very big game. And it's not so much that we lost, it's how we lost, we've seen it time and time again this season. Offense struggling to get guys in and they end up paying for it. 

[Angel Oracle]

Bug Selig totally screwed up the post-season.

The WC games should be the day after the season closes, and the ALDS should start the day after the WC game.

I was totally thinking the same thing. They allow a lot of rest for a team that snuck. Not that that's an excuse since we've had 4 days off but I think the WC game and DS should be back to back days. 

[SoCALkid]

The Angels went into this series already down 0-1. The minute they announced Wilson vs Shields in Game 3 everybody knew the result. That's why Game 1 was such a huge deal.

 

KC can complete the sweep tomorrow. 

If we win tomorrow by putting up some big runs, then I will have faith that we can win game 3. But that's hoping for a lot right now. Basically a complete turn around overnight.

I don't think it really matters with this offense who the pitcher is. They can lit up by a good pitcher and get shut down by a bad one.

[Stradling]

They can't do that because of the possibilities of tie breakers. We nearly had three tie breakers this year.

[Hollyw00d]

If shoemaker has even a mediocre start tomorrow, season over.

[joeywings]

Bud Selig totally screwed up by adding another fkrn wild card team.

Might as well have 4 divisions each league .

What's the difference ? It's all watered-down anyway.

[Stradling]

It's not watered down, the wild card team beat us tonight. The Royals deserve to be in the playoffs.

[Angel Oracle]

Schedule the WC games on the Monday anyway.

Why start them on Tuesday if there are no tiebreaker games?

[AngelsFanForever]

We will win with Shoe on the hill against the rookie Ventura. Ventura looked pretty bad against Oakland in the play-in game. The pressure will be too much for him. You can call me crazy, but I expect Wilson to be just good enough to throw 5-6 innings and hold KC to 2 or fewer runs. Shields is way overhyped and has not looked great down the stretch including being pretty average against a bad Oakland offense on Tuesday. He is the kind of pitcher we hit well. At 2-1 we are looking strong and have room for a loss at KC in game 4, with a return home and Shoe winning game 5.

 

Everyone needs to take a step back away from the cliff.

You're such a pussy

[Hollyw00d]

Alright, I'm done venting. Really frustrating game, but its over and there's still more to go.

get em tomorrow

[tomsred]

Brandon's conceding games in the future, pretty hard to win at anything in life when you do that, much less baseball.  It kind of like saying "I'm going to crash my car on the freeway on Sunday, I knew I shouldn't have bought a new car today."  You believe this kind of shit, yep it will happen for sure, Murphy's law.

As depressing as the outcome to this game was, reading the comments that so many have already written the Angels off are much worse.  Many of the same people complaining about the Angel crowd?

Kind of pitcher we hit well?

Did you see last night? Outside of maybe 3 at bats, NO ONE did jack at the plate ALL NIGHT!

How is that going to change so soon?
