Being drunk on a Monday night is awesome

I hope I never see Rasmus pitching again. What a shitshow he's become. 

[Guest]

Jett Bandy!!! Woo!!!

[hen3ry]

Whats the bigger white flag - Kubitza making his pro debut at 2B, or sending Bedrosian out to pitch?

[Blarg]

So, what's everyone got planned for October? A little golf, some fishing, maybe watch some football?

[bloodbrother]

The team is fine. Just gotta turn the page on this season and go get em next year

[OregonLAA]

Ya I was so happy when Rasmus came back. And he has been shit. What the hell did they do to him?

[beatlesrule]

Jim Gaffigan is on Conan.  Watch that instead so you can laugh.

[mp170.6]

Why did Scioscia pull Morin after he struck out two hitters on 9 pitches? 

[bloodbrother]

Ya I was so happy when Rasmus came back. And he has been shit. What the hell did they do to him?

 

He turned back into a pumpkin like most of the team this year. How many key contributors from last season turn to complete shit this season?

 

Richards - from cy young contender mid 2 ERA to 4+ ERA

Weaver - 82 mph fastball

Matt Shoemaker

Mike Morin

Rasmus

Iannetta

Cron(he's starting to hit better but too little too late)

Salas

Joe Smith

 

Add in that role players who contributed last year were completely useless this season. Grant Green, Colin Cowgill, etc

[fan_since79]

Is it better to tank now and be disappointed, or hang in there and then be crushed at the very end of the season?

 

Totally collapse now or be eliminated by Texas on the final weekend?

Quack Quack Quack!

Haha

gotta love our ACE with a 4 ERA and awful poise!!

Our ace is still Weaver, which isn't so good...

[bloodbrother]

The team doesn't have an ace

I have this vision of Texas winning the AL West with Hamilton getting a big hit against the Angels.  I hope I'm wrong.

[Angel Oracle]

Congratulations Arte Moreno, you destroyed this franchise!

Little Jack Burns would say it best about you.

[OregonLAA]

Haha

Laugh all you want but I like Butcher and give him a lot of credit for a lot of success these guys are having/had. Shoe. Rasmus. Richards. Heaney. A lot of guys have come up and turned it around on his watch. But that means I blame him too. Especially when Rasmus was doing so well as a 7th inning type then they turned him into a starter of sorts and stretched him out in spring training until he got hurt.

The notion that they "did something to him" is silly. You have to look no further than our own bullpen and the bullpen of just about every team in baseball to know that they are the least predictable part of any team from year to year. Also it isn't unheard of to try and take a relief pitcher and convert them to a starter.

Notice that 7 of the 9 listed here, are PITCHERS.

Butchy is doin' a hell of a job.

[Angel Oracle]

But Butchy is sleeping like a baby.

That's cause he is the hardest working guy in baseball.

Or was that Hatcher?

I think you're thinking of Don Baylor. Baylor won an MVP in an Angels uniform therefore he is a good hitting coach.  

[Homebrewer]

This coaching staff has been awful across the board.

I can come up with zero reasons any of them should keep their respective jobs after the season.

Therefore, Arte will no doubt up their salaries and extend their contracts...
