That 4-9 is the worst in baseball.

It's pretty bad. If someone had told me at the beginning of the season this would be the lineup at the end of May, I would have definitely laughed in disbelief.

I might be the biggest homer here and I can't argue against that

[Ray McKigney]

Does anybody know why Giavotella is out of the lineup?

[Angel Oracle]

Escobar will be back June 1

This one is all up to Santiago........that's like having a hiring a rooster to protect your property.

Pennington is probably a Scioscia favorite.  He has no talent, but Scioscia doesn't care about winning anyway.

I would like this for it's sarcasm if it was sarcastic.

go Angels!

Looks like another winning lineup to me -- at least a 50-50 chance.

GO ANGELS!!! Go Hector Santiago!!!

Keep your head, Hector, and keep your focus. Be efficient and hold to your throwing motion. Keep the shoulder from flying. Close out 0-2 counts quickly,

Go offense!! Strike Sanchez hard Calhoun, Trout, Albert and Co.

 

[Angel Dog and Beer]

We score 10 tonight.

Yep, hopefully the good Hector shows up.

Lets go Halos!

We won last night and nobody thought we would, so tonight is sort of a wash.

The tail end of the lineup pulled off that win and some great pitching from Cha-Ching. 

Who knew?

Where's the clip from "major league" 

"who the fvck are these guys?"

[eligrba4ever]

This game is supposed to be on MLB Network with the backup game in Oakland. I hope I get the Angels on the cable so I can skip the online feed. I was surprised, however, when Saturday's Seattle game was on BOTH MLBN and the regional Root channel with the same announcers. I hope I don't get the Oakland broadcast. Saturday's main game was supposed to be the Angels.

[RallyPanda]

Hope we get the good Santiago tonight.

[daygloman]

Go HALOS!

[nando714]

We have to win

all other AL west teams won today.

Harold and Vasgersian from their NY studio are mocking the Angels lineup.

That almost guarantees 10 runs now.  Nice.
