The Angels got no runs against Verlander and one against Hamels, three days apart. A split. The combined offense Houston 1 run Tuesday. Angels 2 runs tonight.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Same two here Tomorrow.

If it were easy they wouldn't be Aces.

all true, and yet, still won tonight so... obviously the whole "we cant beat those guys" isnt exactly correct.  Thats all im saying, the assumptions that we cant win those games isnt not wholly accurate.

Goober being an idiot again. Talking about Phillips saying he has been on base a lot. Phillips has a .271 obp with the Angels. I really wish he would learn to only speak when he actually has something relevant to say.

Which would leave a lot of dead air.

I'm guessing he meant on this homestand which would be true.  And really right now is what's really important. 

[Angel Oracle]

What's important now is Phillips getting back into the lineup, while the recent success is still fresh.

[Angel Oracle]

Parker Friday night, Petit Saturday night, Parker again today with a day off tomorrow?

Then they will need others to step up with 13 games in 13 days.

Bedrock, Middleton, Ramirez, Chavez, Wood, Alvarez, et al....it's time to put this stretch into warp speed!

I wasn't disagreeing with you. I was pointing to two examples of the week just ending that support what you said and showed the whiner he had no facts on his side.

fair enough, i guess im just tired of all the negativity... everyone sucks, the team is shit.. people cant even give Mike freaking Trout a break?   If we dont make the post the i told you so's will rain down like tears, i actually think a lot of people reading this forum legitimately dont want the team to succeed.   Exaggeration i know but damn man, the salt is think.  We are in the race in the last week with a tram that probably shouldnt have been, the front office stepped up, the farm is improving, we have literally nothing to be this angry about in my opinion.  

Well aside from our manager of the year candidates moves at times... that i still support
