I'll take late inning defensive replacement in LF for $500, Alex.

It was fun seeing Seattle message board, fans were pissed and saying that New York are on the Angels payroll.

Imagine being so sorry that you legitimately think the fix is in for the Angels. Lol.

When you include tonight, Kole has been the 3rd best position player in the league over the last two weeks. Top 10 over last month. What a stunning reversal. He's past Machete and Valbuena on the season for OPS, not a small feat given the hole he dug himself into. 

On a personal level, good for him turning things around as he seemingly has.

It would be the best thing ever to see a reversal of '95.

I don't care if we're in first, last or anywhere in between.  Damn I love walking off the M's.

Couldn't agree more. Have always loved seeing him prove doubting scouts wrong. Hurt worse than usual to see him totally collapse. It's too bad that "comeback player of the year" can't include coming back from a disastrous first half. Because the way he's going, it's starting to get past "fluky two week hot streak" territory.

East Coast New York bias for the Angels FTW.

Just shows you how much Valbuena sucks and has no value on this team and the Angels are better off just flat out releasing him.  I was pretty high on him when the Angels signed him, but man has he sucked hard this season.  Kole has always been and always will be a grinder who wasn't born with elite physical tools but he'll get everything out of his abilities.  Just been crushing ever since the return off the DL.

It's extra sweet as the Mariners really need wins as Oakland is charging hard for the 2nd wild card.  I'm actually rooting for them over the Mariners.  Say what you will, but you gotta respect that front office of the A's.

Gordon gets cut down at the plate, Angels win on a walk off.

Churning out a pretty good roster with their crappy stadium situation and their limited financial resources.

For convincing the world that they don't have t be held to the same standard as the rest of Major League Baseball

it does. Huntington maybe?

Wow they are delusional over on the mariners forum. "Unlucky all day today" when they only even made it to extra innings because of the luckiest "single" I've ever seen.

So, can we talk about Ohtani vs LHP yet?

in all fairness, they hit the ball hard a bunch.  

we're due some good luck and they're due some bad.  It's by no means caught up at this point.
