Okay...I also despise that one. 

Have you ever heard the one for Heritage For The Blind? My wife and I impersonate it like the Autozone ad and it somehow made it less terrible.

Alex Trebek for the Colonial Penn Program.

Insanely expensive whole life insurance to pay for your "final expenses".

Doesn't have an annoying jingle though.

I really hope paredes has a clean outing here

would help his confidence

Well, I think it shows you WHY he takes the unknown flier route with relievers, outside of the true elite ones, they are just simply less consistent year to year and thus you often get less bang for your buck. Hell, Jansen has been crap this year, even. 

However, it's a heck of a lot riskier strategy when you have a legit contender this year than last year when if they'd sucked we'd have been like "meh, we have bigger problems than the pen." 

I understand why he would take the unknown flier route--or dumpster diving as I like to call it, but that requires too much unnecessary trial-and-error.

A bullpen needs at least 2 reliable arms and those cannot be attained from the bin alone.

Day-to-day.

Thank you, Lord.

If I have, I've blocked it out. Though this convo did make me think on all commercials to see if I could come up with one I really liked and it inadvertently made my dumbass mind go to this:

SoshjolsRallyMonkeyBaby

Sorry.

It’s time to convert some starters

Actually that might really happen, when JC Meyer and Shoe come back from their injuries.

Paredes will stop the bleeding 

6 1/3 ip, 7 er 

Bleeding out is ONE way to stop the bleeding.

 

Next time, let’s try some leeches.

The howling people have taken over the stadium again. Idiots

Upton news makes tonight a W for the Angels.  Turn the damn page.

We praised him last year because he literally DID dumpster dive us into a fantastic pen. Maybe the truth is that he got a little lucky last year and can't count on that always working. Hopefully he learns from it (I suspect he will).

8 Runs incoming got em right where we want em. 

[UndertheHalo]

I hate those god awful nationwide commercials with cruise ship singers singing horrific songs about life and shit.  

[fan_since79]

some perspective on Trout's current struggles. He's been there before...

Trout's slump in the summer of 2015:

21 games in July
.367/.462/.861
20 Runs, 12 HR, 24 RBI
Angels' record, 18-8

next 21 games
.176/.315/.270
3 Runs, 1 HR, 5 RBI
Angels' record, 8-13

Whooooooooooooooooo! 

I was hoping it was just in Tehas and Boston, should've remembered beer is beer in all places, nowhere is safe. Which is coincidentally why I like traveling, I feel at home everywhere. 

[bloodbrother]

5 ER in 3 IP for the pen tonight. Job well done

This gives me another angel-loss-beer-induced idea. Japanese game show with foundation in Ohtani's work with the Halos. Have to assume g-strings, sumo wrestlers and string cheese would make it fun. 

[Mark68]

See?
