What bums me out the most about the team so far.

[Carlota Gonzalez]

In October, I tore my ACL, and my miniscus. I have spent the entire winter hobbled and waiting for surgery. Due to illness and whatnot, my surgery was delayed until late Feb. I have used the fact that when baseball gets here, I will be on the road to recovery. While I go thru the trial and tribulations of post op stuff, I will have my beloved Angels with me, on tv helping me get thru it. I thought of baseball as a positive tool to help me get thru a difficult time. It is what mentally got me prepared for a scary thing (surgery) and very painful process (physical therapy). Angels Baseball was suppose to be a friend.

Well, my friend is being a complete douche and it breaks my heart.

Does anyone else look at baseball as a tool, friend to get thru tough times?

Last summer I had severe lower abdominal pain and I thought I needed surgery.  Turns out it was the Angels.

 

So no.

Baseball is the greatest game on earth ... Win or Lose

Enjoy every season like it's your last.

This.

Carlota how many of your friends hang at your bedside, prepare you a meal and help you through your daily rehab?

 

Yeah, baseball is like that, sometimes it just doesn't show up for you and your on your own.

 

Sorry girl, rub some dirt in it and get back out there.

I look at it as a positive, I am not tired every morning because I can go to bed early since the games are out of hand by the 5th inning.

" Rub some dirt in it and get back in there."  i love it- a classic.

baseball is timeless. an anxiety reliver. the only human endevor where time stands still and is meaningless. a cure for care.

[Brian Ilten]

I hate losing.

Losing sucks but I agree with this. Time to sit back and enjoy the game for what it is.

[Carlota Gonzalez]

LMAO--Believe me, I'm rubbing some dirt in it. Im recovering from surgery, with our without good Angels baseball to enjoy through the process.

 

Baseball is such a great game. Just the sounds of it in the background make me feel good. I love lsitening to it on the radio too becasue it is an anxiety reliever. I guess I was just wondering if people felt te same way--waiting all winter for your friend to get here, to be there thru a tough time, and then  they just dont show up.

You too?  I thought I had a wicked kidney stone, turns out I was passing a jagged shard of calcified disappointment.

At least this thread is making you laugh.

[Carlota Gonzalez]

True. The team is about to make me laugh as well...

The team is far from funny unless you mean in a Keystone Cops sort of way.

 

And quit strangling that poor dog, it's not his fault.

 

[Carlota Gonzalez]

I agree, they are about to get real funny like Keystone cops...

 

The dog dug it. All puppies love me

[Carlota Gonzalez]

Im a KC Chiefs fan as well. I use to get angry and dissappointed, then I just started laughing. If things dont change on the baseball field, Im going to be laughing, a lot. The difference? Chiefs make me laugh once a week. The Angels will be making me laugh all week. Silver lining?

[vlad27]

I totally use baseball as a way to relax and unwind - too bad the games haven't been helping much but ill still watch and hope things get better

[BleedRed]

Losing is bad enough....but the disappoinment of high hopes hurts more......

[Jay]

seriously though good luck with your surgery and recovery

[Carlota Gonzalez]

seriously though good luck with your surgery and recovery

Thanks. Surgery went well, outside of the morphine....

Recovery on the other hand has been painful, just like the Angels games. but Im getting there. Long road ahead...

[Sam Sanchez]

It sure bums me out a lot. I watch a ton of movies, and most of my movie-watching time, in particular the off season is the evening when the kids are getting ready for bed. And now with the season starting, I'm more than happy to watch some baseball instead but with them losing and playing like crap, I figured, I'll just put a movie on and forget it. But I can't, keep pausing and turning back to the game and torturing myself further.

[AngelArcher]

These last few years I've come to realized that I'm too emotionally invested in this team and with big expectations came even bigger disappointments. I'm just going to enjoy the rest of the season for the game it self, win or lose. Getting to watch Mike Trout helps with that.

And as for your rehab, I'm sure you'll be as good as new by the all star break,

2014

I tore my ACL 2 years ago and had the 2011 season to help me through it . . .

Yep. Since Ive been injured, Ive been watching tons of movies, and was excited to finally watch some basbeball. In fact, the first televised ST game was on 4 days after my surgery and that alone helped me get thru the days prior and after surgery. Now, While I will continue to watch the games, and hope for the best, Its a bit of a drag to go thru my daily routine, and then watch the debacle that has been Angels baseball.

 

I know, more than likely, theyll turn it around enough to give us hope, I just wish that would start now. lol

 

As far as rehab, Im in PT until Sept, so the whole season. But Ill be right as rain in about a year. Thats what Im being told anyways.
