GO ANGELS!!! Go Ricky Nolasco!!!

Go all out, Ricky, and start the next winning streak!!!! One in a row!!! Sounds great, doesn't it? Avoid another sweep.

Go Trout!!! I guess you're refreshed and ready to go. Ditto Albert!!

Do your best, Angels, to keep the M's and JeDi out of the postseason. Enough already of those Seattle sweeps!!!

[NachoPop]

The team may suck at the moment but I'll still look forward to seeing Bandy and Buss and whatever other younger player they throw out there in hope they show something for next year(I know Bandy already has but good to see it remain consistent).

Just looking forwars to the rosters expanding at this point

[Redondo]

At the game tonight. Hopefully we can score a lot of runs since Nolasco is pitching. 

[CaliAngel]

Oh holy hell these guys are still playing? Haven't we been tortured enough?

Buss turns 30 in December.

Poor choice of words. Junior? Secondary?

Or maybe more fittingly "reclamation project picked up after being discarded by another team with a far deeper roster"

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

After going 0-10 Cron got a line drive single to LF in Salt Lake tonite.

[daygloman]

Go Halos!

[eligrba4ever]

In the 15-team American League, the Angels rank 13th in ERA and 14th in defense. The Seattle broadcasters were kind enough to report that just now.

[jsnpritchett]

Hey, Kole: it's okay if you get a hit, buddy.  Really.

[Jason]

Calhoun very underwhelming this season

How are they not 15th? It seems impossible to be worse than the Halos

[eligrba4ever]

Albert is batting .183 in August, following a surge in July.

[eligrba4ever]

Over the past 50 years or so, August is where many Angels seasons have gone to die. At least it seems that way.

[Angels#1Fan]

Lets go Halos!

[Jason]

Nice AB by Simmons. 

[eligrba4ever]

Woo Hoo!!! Ricky kept his balance on the high-wire!! He's made it through TWO!!!

[daygloman]

1-0 Halos!

[eligrba4ever]

Pennington!!!! Our big bat! Double.

Buss doubles Penny home!! 1-0 Angels. No shutout for His Majesty.

I was making a joke based on something someone said earlier in the thread.  Might need to get those specs checked out, Eli.
