We will be swept.

I think it's a very strong possibility. 

Either way, we're ALL fooling ourselves.

We want to believe so bad it fucking hurts!

But they're just gonna fuck us.... Like every year!

Okay, Upton has been doing very well since acquired. Also, that has nothing to do with him being hypothetically tired.

Yeah, one guy makes a supporting cast good. Sike!

tomorrow is a day game, right?

1 PM start time, get away day.

as well as to Mrs. Calabash where-ever she may be.............

Eppler has a lot of work to do this offseason. As of right now, we're clearly nothing more than a .500 team. Gotta spend some money if we want to win 90 games in the near future...

Trout still has a terrific OBP and an OPS over .800 this month. Pujols wish he can put up those numbers.

Did you see where I said "Pujols is one of the worst players in baseball this season, so yes."

[JustATroutFan]

Not even gaining ground on the Twins. If they had even won one game out of the last three, would only be half a game out.

Run support doesn't mean shit if your giving up a boatload of runs. 

That's funny I thought he only gave up 2 runs

[Corona]

Is that 10 straight losses to Cleveland? 

 

Oof.

Get Trout a real supporting cast so he doesn't have to be great every single time for them to win.

Put a good rotation on the mound for the Angels and Trout might seem less weary.

ONE game over .500 and we're thinking playoffs?

Hahaha!!

Thankfully, this ends in time for THE DAILY SHOW.

[VariousCrap]

It is what it is.  The Angels are a .500 team struggling to stay afloat.  September has been an ugly month for them.

The AL Wild Card contenders just isn't as strong as they usually are this year.

Yet the Twins are only a game and a half ahead

[disarcina]

Waybackman -- excellent guess - wrong answer - but the guess is very impressive.

Jimmy Durante.

now most of the folks will have to look the answer up as well.......they have no idea who that is/ was.

I believe there were a few complaining that Scioscia didn't bring in Petit last night when the Angels were trailing. Looks like the results would not have changed for the Angels.

This is stupid Blarg.  That would be like saying if he pitches tomorrow he will have the exact same results as today.  In which case, we will lose tomorrow 6-5.  Which is weird because that means we should have lost today by the same score as yesterday.

The only time Angels made the playoffs when Trout was on the team I think he was hitless then too.

Yup he was..

He is a much different hitter than he was 3 years ago. That was his worst season up to date.

I love your positivity, I really do. We need more of it on the Forum. But we need more from Mike Trout. He is the best player on the planet, bad games, excuses can't be expected at this time of the year from the best player in baseball. It just is what it is. 

[HeavenlyHalos]

Again, Trout homered in the three game series against the Royals. It was his only hit, but he did get one.

And if the Angels had been winning in spite of Trout's "struggles" this month, no one would be talking about Trout's off month.
