GAME 156!!!

GO ANGELS!!!! Go Daniel Wright!!!

Keep the streak alive, Daniel!! Pitch efficiently and go at least six!! The bats will pick you up!!!

Go Albert!!! Keep those RBIs coming, but you're still going for 600!!!

Go Mike Trout!!!  Keep the stats coming at those MVP voters!

Go Big Daddy Calhoun!!! Go C.J.!!

Escobar is off because of the death of his friend and fellow Cuban, Jose Fernandez.

What the fuck Fox Sports? They announce a moment of silence for Jose Fernandez and then cut to commercials. 

[eligrba4ever]

Astros lead 1-0.

But that play by Simba ...

[daygloman]

Go Halos!

[eligrba4ever]

Oh phooey. First homer by Tony Kemp. 3-1 Astros.

[eligrba4ever]

Sixth inning. Time to wake up, Angels. Awww, can of corn, Albert. 

Quick out, there, CJ. Too quick.

But nice double, Simba! Two out rally time?

[eligrba4ever]

Nada in the sixth for the Halos.

[eligrba4ever]

Six innings and three runs on Wright. Quality start, but Musgrove has been more quality-er.

Time for a comeback to start, Angels.

[eligrba4ever]

Well, that AB was a confidence builder for Cowart fans. Not.

[eligrba4ever]

1-2-3 seventh for Cy Musgrove. GET THEM IN THE EIGHTH, HALOS!!!

[eligrba4ever]

Oh, Obie!! You have thrown six bombs in not that many innings in your 9 games, so far. Not a good sign moving forward in 2017.

[eligrba4ever]

The magic is weakening. Trout hits into a 3-6 DP.

[eligrba4ever]

6 to 4 to 3. Simba is the wobbly pitcher's best friend. 

[eligrba4ever]

Hope there's still some magic in the Angels bats. Still going for a sweep.

This thread has16 posts and it's top of 9. Probably ain't making page 2 without another epic rally.

Go Halos

[eligrba4ever]

Angels avert a sweep (by them) of the Astros. The late-inning lightning disappears, as if by magic. The Angels' lumber slumbers. One run for the good guys, four runs for the baddies.

[daygloman]

Off to work!

Go Halos!

[CaliAngel]

Simmons needs to be a Halo for the rest of his career. His head is always in the right place. 

Some outstanding plays by him today.

[Angel Oracle]

Cy Musgrove, it figures.

Still, three out of four in Houston was a great accomplishment.

Just watched the replay of his behind the back catch in the bottom of the third and doubling up the runner at first. 

Frickin amazing instincts and athleticism. 

[Angel Oracle]

Three out of four = sweetest revenge gained for them sweeping the Halos 4 straight here in June 2013 (4 of only 51 wins all season)?

Three main things left to play for:  going 4-2 to avoid 90 losses and also keeping protected pick, Trout chasing 30-30 season and AL MVP award, and Pujols chasing AL rbis title.
