@Blarg, you told me to not bother watching the game if I'm throwing a "tantrum" over the lineup card. Well buddy, if you're going to throw a tantrum about posts here then how bout you don't bother posting?

This line up just is laughable. We are supposed to be a big market club and this is the 9 we have come up with.

Also, since when is saying "F*ck Scioscia" throwing a tantrum? lol

Don't forget the 3 strikeouts.  That's what we would expect from Blash.  Now for some reason Fontana is the Golden Boy.

Oh you're right, the golden sombrero!

You sound angry.

Actually pretty happy right now. Didn't have to go to work, fixed the wheel problem on the spitfire and got her cleaned up for a car show on Sunday. Probably going to the 66ers game tonight while watching the Angels game on a tablet. Probably one of the better Fridays of the year. 

Except, maybe, the lineup card whine fest. Bet Fletcher is digging the post game buffet.

Sorry I'm thinking logically here. If you wanna tell someone to kick rocks why don't you tell the owner of this place too? He's just as annoyed with this lineup as we are. @Chuckster70

 

I don't think any of us believe this 1 move will make or break the game or season for that matter but honestly.. A guy goes 3-4 with an overall strong game and gets rewarded with the bench? I feel for Fletcher and many other players that have had this happen to them. It's not an end of the world move but FFS give these kids some confidence and rewards for performing.

The beginning of game day threads is some of the best entertainment on AW.

That, and the postgame silence after a win

[Roy Hobbs]

Fontana did hit a home run last game,so he's got that going for him,which is nice.

[Lou]

I'd live to see Fletcher in the lineup (Go Lions!), but let's be honest here,., two of his hits were weakly hit bloopers behind 2B.

And,yes, I know they count.

Only if they don't win in spite of lasagna tits. I will call out bad managerial moves in wins or losses.

I bet Calhoun would like to have a couple of those...

I am calling it!

.25 for every time someone calls for the firing of Scioscia

.50 for every lasagna reference.

.75 for every AO "old man yelling at the cloud" post

I'll be able to retire by 11 p.m. tonight.

 

Don’t I get any residuals?

You and anaheimbob should catch a game together.

Cold Calhoun had a HR too.   Of course, that was 2.5 months ago.

That settles it. I'm making lasagna for dinner tomorrow. I'll take pictures.

Pretty close to done. The Angels only need 5 position players, 3 starters and 6 guys for the bullpen. So, next year.
