I like the sentiment. I hope it comes true tonight.

GO HALOS!!! Go J.C. Ramirez!!

Keep up the good work, J.C.!!! Start a sweep of the remaining 3 games in the weekend series!!!

Go Albert!!!! 600!!! 600!!! 600!!! (Hopefully with one or more runners on base.)

Go Kole Calhoun!!! Show that last night is a real change in the trajectory of your season!!!

Triple play, schmiple play. That was then, tonight is tonight.

Go rest of the frequently changing Angels Supporting Cast. Make some offensive noise.

Let's get a win!!!!

[Angel Oracle]

If Arte will spend any long term money.

Valbuena 6 for his last 56.

At some point, they will eat Espinosa's contract...but, no matter how bad he is, with a two year deal, Valbuena gets a pass....but it doesn't mean you can't put Cron on 1b and put Valbuena on the bench....

Andy Griffith rerun starting now.

I'm starting to wonder if these peanuts are as clean as we thought. They have a funny smell to them.

[Jwhitt33]

Jc cus every pitch he throws you say Jesus Christ.

[eligrba4ever]

Hmmm. Just did a "live look-in" at GameDay and noticed Ramirez may be reverting. Three more homers on the ledger of an Angels starting pitcher. Still hoping for a 2-2 split of the four games. I'll check back later.

Even more exciting is the pile of fancy donuts Victor was showing to Gubi. Make mine glazed.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Cron was originally in the lineup for SL, but he has been scratched. Hmm.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Cowart 2-4, with a Db and 2 RBI, now hitting .312.

Don't read too much into it. He probably pulled a groin and will be out for the rest of his life.

I really hope the FO doesn't panic and trade for a bat. As horrid as the offense has been this year, it's far more likely to revert to average than it is to continue the way it is. The pitching is definitely not going to hold up. Hopefully the plan this offseason is to stock up on pitching.

[eligrba4ever]

Albert trying again.

[Jason]

This rotation and the HRs is getting tiresome

[eligrba4ever]

"Kyle Gibson looks terrific," says the studio analyst on MLB as Albert whiffs. 

Albert has about 2 more chances at 600 tonight. Not really expecting much in the way of an Angels rally, however.
