[Chuck]

Go team! 

 

[GrittyVeterans]

Nice to have a guy like Cozart a natural SS able to give Simmons a day off.

[nando714]

 6-8 game win streak would be nice 

[Puget Sound Angel]

Look what this team has done to me. I'm now estatic if we win one game a series.

[daygloman]

Go Halos!

Why?

Other than Valbuena, I don't see any problems. Simmons could use a day off, same with Maldonado. Good to see Cozart back in there.

This is something you'll never see on AW.com

Lets get it the bat rolling again today, Ohtani!

 A complete game from Skaggs may be necessary for a win

it hadn't been said yet.  I didn't want to see our rich tradition of Sunday threads go without seeing a stupid sunday line up post.  Soon @tdawg87 will come in and quote me and say something like, 8 runs minimum.  This wasn't me defending Scioscia.  

[fan_since79]

Well, there's always Pujols in the cleanup spot, but I've given up arguing about that issue.

have you though?  

[Stradling]

Here is my concern with the line up or I guess a concern I have with Scioscia.  Why not start Cowart?  Valbuena isn't the answer and we at the very least know that Cowart can play defense.  My concern with Cowart is simply they want him to be a utility guy.  How many utility guys out there came up and were basically bench players and had to learn to hit major league pitching starting twice a week?  Most utility guys are former starters that are veterans and know how to be bench players.

GO ANGELS!!!

Go Skaggy!!! Pitch your heart out, but pace it carefully. Need a CG at this point. LOL!

Go Bootsie, Kiiiid, J-Up, The Machine, Sho-Time, Coach, Mono, J-Bric, and Michael H.!!!

Bats are made to hit balls. Use them that way!!!

LET'S GET A WIN!!!

[eligrba4ever]

Wacha Wacha Wacha!!!! 24 outs toward a no-no.

That name reminds me so much of Fozzie Bear delivering a punchline.

[eligrba4ever]

Skaggy no-no done before the second out of the game. LOL.

Baseball is hardly as taxing on the body as football, basketball, and hockey. Whatever happened to celebrating Cal Ripken Jr. for playing every single day?

Maybe it's just your avatar, but you seem to give me the impression you're angry all the time.

[totdprods]

Hermosillo is gonna hit his first big league HR today.

[failos]

Fister? I hardly know her!

Ignorance is bliss

[eligrba4ever]

Wacha loses his no-no four pitches into the 9th with a clean single to right. And the manager brings the hook.

[eligrba4ever]

Skaggy appears to be throwing strikes early. Hope he keeps doing that.

Bummer!

A potential string of hits here. Go Valbuena!!! Go Angels.

[BackUpTheTruck]

Good time to go yard here
