Today's the 19th, we don't want to a repeat of Tuesdays game.

Ohtani hitting 6th... Cool.

If cold calhoun was going to be in the lineup today (against a lefty no less) I was going to be triggered.

we've been jinxed NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Time for Trout to hold the Sox while Ohtani penetrates them from behind.

Lets do this. I want this series to end with an even run differential.

Edit - I want the Sox to be choking back tears talking to the police about what we did to them. I want people to think of our home runs when they think of "Boston bombings". I'm sick and tired of being their bitch. We can break the Indians win streak against us, we can stop being Boston's bitch.

Go Bootsie, Kiiiid, J-Up, The Machine, Simon, Sho-Time, Coach, CY, and Machete!!!!

LET'S GET A WIN!!!!

Ohtani creeping higher in the order with Kole out. I like this lineup. 

[Angelsfirst]

Not crazy about Young but who knows maybe he’ll have a game.

me too.. it's bad enough he sucks against righties.

A win tonight would go a long way towards improving the morale around here. We're in first place and people are ready to jump off a bridge.

And won't bunt the other way, despite being given tons of room to do so and having solid enough speed to easily beat it out.  

If Valbuena can do it, so can YOU, Cold Calhoun!

I really hope Ohtani has a decent game against this southpaw tonight so we can begin to move him up in place of Calhoun.

If Calhoun doesn't get his shit together it may be time to look at other options for RF at the trade deadline. Maybe flip Calhoun for a bag of spicy cheetos and get a productive bat there.

Because this is what we will continue to look like against equally hot teams

 

If you think that, then maybe you should stop being a fan.

What a shit attitude to have as a baseball fan.

Shut up, girl. Maybe you haven't been an Angels fan long enough? 

Or maybe he has an optimistic outlook instead of a negative outlook.  If you think this is the same type of team we have had the last several years then you must not watch any Angel baseball.

I've been a fan for the vast majority of my existence, actually, which by itself is probably longer than you've been alive judging by your posts.

Isn't it weird to be slobbering drunk at 4:30 in the afternoon?

Wow I remember back in the day when people called Scioscia an idiot for platooning Calhoun against a lefty.  I think his platoon partner was Cowgill.

[Blarg]

Yes, let's. 

[Blarg]

I think I forgot to mention this before the series started. 

Fuck the Red Sox.
