Quitting Smoking and the Angels' Suckitude

[Angelsjunky]

Anyone ever quit smoking? I have. You know how many times it took me? Tons - dozens, probably. I have an adage of that: That it takes 27 times (or whatever number you prefer) to quit smoking and the key is not to give up on the 26th try and just resign yourself to a life of addiction. You never know when something is going to click, when it will be that 27th time.

 

And so it is with the Angels. They need something to click, a spark, a big win. And then another. A come from behind win last night would have been huge for their morale, but it didn't happen. Maybe tonight?

 

So while it seems that this series is a must-win for the Angels, it could be that we're on try #26. To give up now, well...the point is, never give up. If you're Scioscia, you've got to be saying that to the players. If your the coaches you've got to be saying that to Josh Hamilton. Keep at it, relax, don't think about the record too much.

 

Somebody needs to get a Zen master in that clubhouse. Anyone know what Phil Jackson is doing these days?
