Gameday Thread: 7/1 vs. Yankees (4:05 PM Game Time)

[Quinlanforthewin]

We have had a good home stand and AO is going to self ban, so let's talk about short sighted.

 

The team's GM just quit because the team's Manager is basically such a stubborn asshole that the GM couldn't work with him.  We also found out the Manager is such a control freak he won't let the best player in baseball hang a nerf basketball hoop in the clubhouse.  Despite winning lately the offense still looks incapable of scoring more than two runs consistently.  We've made national headlines about five times this year and all are related to idiotic or embarrassing moves by the front office.   Attendance is way down as is viewership.  We have a bottom five farm system.  

 

Yet you're pointing out a 6-2 record of the last 8 games.  Yes, I'd love to talk about being short sighted.

I love that your 32oz Angels beer cup is always full. Stay thirsty my friend.

Well if you can't enjoy winning three consecutive series then why the **** watch.

[Quinlanforthewin]

Where was that story?

[BleedRed]

Calhoun doesn't look comfortable at all

[70runner]

Morono...freudian slip???

[Quinlanforthewin]

I still enjoy watching but I also  realize we have major issues and you seem to ignore them. If that's what you have to do to enjoy watching I guess I understand. 

[Stradling]

I realize we have major issues, but to constantly bring them up when we've been playing well, I just don't get it.

[CanadianHalo]

Get ready to rage...

[moccasin]

I will still watch Trout and Pujols even if Scioscia gets another 10 year extension today.

I have to admit Aybar hitting 5th is pretty good, he doesn't strike out much and doesn't GIDP much.

[Jason]

So Sosh is an ass for turning off music but many wanted to see him flipping over tables to get a message across?

[Quinlanforthewin]

lol!

[Corona]

Lol Aybar.

just pops up a lot

[CanadianHalo]

Our only hope is a 2 run wild pitch

[moccasin]

Girardeau should go to a righty to face Freese.

[Quinlanforthewin]

Was Freese dogging it down the line?

[BleedRed]

0 for 23 with runners ISP....wow

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

Hahaha. Bases loaded and no runs. Good gravy.

[Stradling]

No, he wasn't.

[Corona]

What a terrible series. Both offenses are so inept, they can only score via home run.

[bloodbrother]

Lol at the loud cheers after Freese grounded out there. Home game for the Yanks

[stormngt]

What is more embarrassing:

Hamilton fiasco

Dipoto/Scioscia feud

or

the teams inability to hit with runners in scoring position?

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

I realize we have major issues, but to constantly bring them up when we've been playing well, I just don't get it.

Just because you string together some wins doesn't mean that you're playing well. 0-24 with risp is not playing well. Period. That's over your adored win streak.

Try to wear less tinted lenses.

[CanadianHalo]

Don't run or anything you fat sack of crap Freese...

I'm mad Jerry left and then I remember we traded for that loser
