Just a few days ago....

That was then, this is now. And now absolutely reeks!

Great photo Chuck. 

[HaloCory22]

Feels like that was a month ago already.

How about the near win on Monday and walk off BOMB on Tuesday?

How about the near win on Monday and walk off BOMB on Tuesday?

Close only counts in horseshoes.

 

And nukes.

Don't confuse late-inning heroics with solid baseball.

[Jason]

Jay is right. Good teams have the game in hand in the late innings.

[VariousCrap]

You know things suck when someone asks, "what about their near win?" when trying to stay positive.

Lol, very true.  This team looks like it's in a medically induced coma.

Yes, I remember when the Orioles and As were getting all those walkoffs and everyone here was saying "Well, if they were REALLY good, they wouldn't have been in a position to walk-off."

 

(Or maybe I'm confusing that when everyone was seeing those games and then wondering why the Angels never walked off/won games in the late innings)

[LBHalos17]

The wheels are falling-off the bandwagon around here... I lost count on the "I'm done with this team" posts.. lol

As for me, I've played on winners and losers, and watched these Angels win some and lose a lot; now is when we get to see if anybody cares and will step-up to lead this team.  I'll keep rooting either way... tho it's getting harder to watch our top-3 hitters take garbage AB's.

How symbolic....

 

Even in victory, there's Albert Pujols, holding the Angels back.....

[Blarg]

There is Kendrick, the lone black guy in the back of the bus. Torii should have something to say about this.

Very true, sadly.

[nando714]

Its a what have you done for me lately fan base

And the angels have absolutely just shit down their legs

At least act like you care or go down with a fight

Our guys concede to defeat down 2-0 to Seattle

Pathetic and embrassing

[Brandon Wing]

I would imagine Monday after sweeping the Tigers it would be odd to be upset and pessimistic, just as I imagine today after back to back blowout losses and losing 3 or 4 it would be odd to be optimistic. That's how sports and fandom work I think.

[Jimmag]

Tonight will be like a few days ago.  (I hope)

 

CJ, are you listening? Offense, this is not Cy Maurer pitching tonight.

[fan_since79]

The Oakland A's board must be in full meltdown mode. They've lost 6 of their last 7 games. Just a week ago they looked unbeatable.

[EDinTUSTIN]

LOL  Ouch!

[PercySquint]

Team looks dead right now. No spark. No sense of urgency. Like they're mailing it in. A little early to be playing out the string in April.

 

Manny, the greatest quitter in baseball history, would be proud. Maybe we should sign him.

 

But as disgusted and pissed off as I am, I can't bring myself to give up on these guys yet. Can't do it.

[Brian Ilten]

 

 

Its moments like the above that most teams build upon.  I give them a pass for Monday - it was close.  And Tuesday made me think the corner had been turned.

 

But getting your asses handed to you by two division rivals two nights in a row and looking at the division record and seeing we are 4-10??  Thats enough to sober anybody up real quick.

 

This team is curled up in corner, sucking its thumb.
