Houston 76 71                   Minnesota 75 71                   LA Angels 75 71    

 

[Second Base]

Not gonna play the what if game. It's counter productive and painful.

[seenoevil]

They win the world series

[ABC]

The Angels could have lost the next ten. No one knows. 

[seenoevil]

We should had won on opening day

What if Josh Paul didn't drop the f'in ball?

The same can be said for 2009... What if A-Rod doesn't hit that bomb off Fuentes? Man it's a bummer to be a halo fan sometimes...

[Halos of Anaheim]

We still ended up losing 2 out of 3 in Seattle. We had our chance to make up ground on Houston.

Yeah, but the Angels were literally robbed in 2005. That play with Josh Paul was unlike anything I've ever seen. 

 

but yeah, sucks to be a fan of this team. Lots of heartbreaks and bad luck over the years.

You know I hate to admit it, but I still get that sick feeling when I think about 2005. Although the offense didnt have to pack it in after that game, it was very demoralizing to say the least.

In 09', we were beat fair and square by the Yanks.. Oh wait, Arod was roided out.

Get over it. If you looked at the situation, you would be surprised he got 2 outs.  He pitched 4 games in a row, three days 

back to back to back and on fourth game with a half a rest Street had the flu.

Don't think we were one strike away - up 3-nil when Street went hay-wire...

[Lou]

What if Street would have imploded tonight?

[nando714]

What if trout doesn't hit a grand slam last night

[stormngt]

Houston 76 71                   Minnesota 75 71                   LA Angels 75 71    

 

you beat me to it.  I was planning on posting a thread like this.

Opening day wouldn't have been a 2 game switch between the Angels and Houston.

 

I know there are a lot of What if moments for every team.  However, with all this franchised has gone through the blow up of Street is exceptionally painful.  Fact is for all those who felt the Angels had no chance of making the playoffs on September first, the Angels would be a half game within the playoffs had the AL saves leader does his job last Sunday.  Yes, it is very painful....especially if we miss the playoffs to Houston by one game.

We still ended up losing 2 out of 3 in Seattle. We had our chance to make up ground on Houston.

Even losing 2 of 3 to Seattle we would have been half game out of the WC had the AL saves leader not blown a three run lead.

[Blarg]

Good God, the Angels have lost 70 games, some in ridiculous fashion and you guys want to obsess about one blown save?

[19HALO71]

It was even harder to be an Angels fan in the 70's and 80's.

[Blarg]

What if Featherston had tightened his glove strings before the 9th inning of Streets blown save?

Yeah, this thread doesn't exist.

[seenoevil]

They should had won game 4

[Ocangelfan]

i agree notti....that was a fluke and shoulda ended the game right there.

 

i just check in on scores and check in on games now...can't handle the bad play by offense and pitchers.  

 

last night 30 second check in and down by five-frigging angels

 

went for drive with kids checked about hr later and up 8-5.     wow...didn't think we had it anymore.

 

liked trouts post game...looked serious and stated needed to win every game.....so lets see.   

 

I'll start tuning in seriously when we are even for wildcard and trying to win division.

[Homebrewer]

What if Arte's billboard business had failed?

 

What if the Dodgers hadn't passed up Mike Scioscia for the open manager job, and pissed him off enough for him to leave the LA organization? 

 

What if Scott Spiezio had struck out?

[TroutField]

It was even harder to be an Angels fan in the 70's and 80's.

I know the history and I agree, wasn't alive for those years, though.

[Homebrewer]

Not really...I was there and in many ways it was more fun.

There were lower expectations and the players played the game hard every night.
