This team is about to catch fire.

[Troutipoo27]

We have an Enright start tomorrow and three more Blanton starts before June. That isn't good.

that puts us at 12-4 in the next 16.

I hope you are right. Being at the game last night was actually fun. 

[Troutipoo27]

I feel like i see this thread every time after we win a game

4-2 in the last 6 games plus a hot offense

[Troutipoo27]

all 20,000 of you saw a good game.

The Angels finished the 2001 season by losing 19 of their final 21 games. The beginning of 2002 was no different, a record of 6-14 and 9.5 games out. Then the magic began and we won 21 of our next 24 games.

Something like that could happen again. Baseball is full of these kind of stories.

love the positivity

Based on what we've seen, I'm not sure we even get back to .500 at all this year.

I need positivity not negativity.

What AJ said....25-30 is probably about the best to expect by May 31.   That means 10-6 from today until then. 

 

Sure, catching fire is always possible once all of the DL'd players return.

 

But there's still the issue with rotation spots 4-5, and a few in the lineup vastly underachieving (Pujols, Hamilton, and Iannetta).

Complete Game shutout.BARRY! BARRY! BARRY!

They get to see the new Hunger Games movie early?

Why is Hanson still out and why do we have crappy Enright going in his place?

He's still dealing with personal issues (re: his step brothers death).

They will win just enough for Scioscia to keep his job.

The last thing any player on this team wants is a tough manager who might actually sit guys that don't produce.

Turning the page, and being almost where they need to be, is a whole lot easier than the alternative.

Benching, screaming about accountability, demanding respect for the game, practicing the fundamentals until it is automatic on the field..

who wants that crap?

[HaloHonkHenry]

It's impossible for this team to catch fire and go on an extended win streak because they have too many inconsistant starters, mainly Joe Blanton, who will get rocked every other outing so that means you will take a loss somewhere in that 5 man rotation atleast once in 5 games.

[Troll Daddy]

Does this now mean that MS can resurrect this team into the playoffs?

Yea, its posts like this that make me question the intelligence of this forum. So guys who are the most competitive in their sport don't care about winning, they only care about having a manager that takes it easy on them? I don't buy it.

We all hate Blanton, but with timely hitting he has two or three wins. He has pitched well enough to win in at least two starts this season. How but just once, the offense scores 9 runs early in a game and keeps a struggling pitcher in a game. Understand I am not blaming the offense for how awful Blanton is, but there are bad pitchers out there with lousy whips and ERA's that have a couple wins.

Bunch of crybabies in this thread

[nando714]

I think not

[Jason]

No way to spin it, this team is garbage in all facets and are not capable of stringing together wins.

[mancini79]

The "This team" is referring to the Royals

[Glen]

I think the title of this thread was an error, the OP meant to say "this team is about to go down in flames."

Did Roger Lodge start this thread?
