ALDS Gameday Thread - Angels vs Royals - Game 2

I hope Mike loses the MVP. He doesn't deserve it.

[Jason]

Thanks for showing up Trout

[Frieri Meatball]

Trout should get just as much criticism as Hamilton for his shitty performance!!! At least Hamilton was out for a month! Whats his excuse?

[CAAngelsLifer]

well, that was fitting. strike out by mike trout. I'm so tired of everyone calling him the new Mr. October and MVP... I just want him to go back to being a really good ballplayer without all the fanfare and hype. It's clearly messing with him. I am so afraid that he's getting ruined...

The Season comes down to NIBS

[Agalloch]

F*CK!!!!!!!!!

 

I needed to get that out of my system again.

[NJHalo]

It's open season on Trout bashing now too.

Kid gloves need to come off

Wake the F up

[Adios]

Trout is no mvp

Agreed.  Ironically he will win it when he doesn't really deserve it for his horrible 2nd half performance and he never won it in the years he should have. 

[Agalloch]

"MVP"

[bloodbrother]

Trout has looked absolutely pathetic this series. His AB's sum up the way this team played

[budice0]

Actually get two decent starts. Offense gotta pick it up.

[bloodbrother]

Can't wait for Pujols post game quote

 

It's a 5 game series. They're fine

 

I hope those extra AB's are helping Josh get his timing down. He looks close!

[Adios]

I am still a Trout fan but it is what it is.  He is a below average player currently.  I believe the will recover it just wont be this season.  The pitchers have adjusted to him.  He has been figured out.  He has to adjust to the pitchers now in order to turn it around. 

[Angels]

There's still hope, though. Wilson is going against Shields.

[Waybackman]

Hate to say it, but this season has felt like fools gold all along

When we went on our hot streak, it was against mainly crappy teams. We can joke about Oakland's epic fail, but I think ours is worse. Best record in baseball and we collapse as soon as we get any kind of challenge.

[Mark68]

The King of striKeouts fittingly ends the game by striKing out.

[rageous]

The way they are playing this series, this year feels no better than the past 4 years.

[JAHV76]

Pathetic. Thanks for the national embarassment Angels players.

Well the Kings came back from a 3-0 deficit against the Sharks.  So anything is possible.  Unlikely but possible.  We have to steal game 3 and get it to 4.  If we were to steal 4 then we would be right back here in Anaheim with a chance to do the unlikely.  Key word unlikely.  This team doesn't appear to have the heart of my Kings.  

[Mark68]

This is what happens when a team goes into cruise control to end the season. There is no switch that can be flipped. This is just a continuation of the last twelve games of the season.

[bloodbrother]

We waited 5 years to see this performance by the team

 

That sucks

Did her head explode or was that a watermelon?

[yvangelfan]

So if he was black or Latino, you would say the same things?  I doubt it.  You folks and your venom aren't good with me, but I'll let Chuck deal with it.  I have never deleted someone's account.  I will delete posts but tell people why.  That's it.  So I;m a very moderate "Moderator."

 

My hat is off to the Royals - they came in and kicked our butts.  The four day lay-off took its toll.  The Royals have been playing their hearts out and have deserved to win.  The Angels were flat.  

 

Bruce, you're being a jerk on a bad night.

[Mean Spirited]

That was a watermelon.

 

Amazing Race footage.

[worldofx]

These were both winnable games with a half-decent offense. So sad.
