Did anyone climb off the pity train long enough to see that sweet DP turn?

They are going to get swept by the Facking tampa bay rays... embarrassing 

Hey, the Rays are not THAT bad, this year.

These arent your father's Rays. They can actually score runs.

Well, maybe your older brother's Rays................

[Angel Oracle]

For all I care, they can finish 70-92.

As bad as they look, 16-38 the last 1/3 of the season is realistic.

And this time, draft a really good college pitcher because this org does NOT have any great pitching prospects!

[WeatherWonk]

At this point, the thing I would really like to see this season, besides the farm hands being played a lot, is to see Simmons finish above .300. The guy has steadily improved with the bat, since he has been here and he was hitting above .300 in mid August, last year. But he faded. I want to see him hold this average.

Naturally, I want Trout to do well, too. But that's a given.

this team is incapable of playing good baseball.

Funny how Gubi and Rojas are having a laugh about the Rays pitching situation. 

They’ve out pitched the Angels.  

Maybe some self awareness boys ?

Cash's strategy is paying dividends.......yuk, yuk!

[UndertheHalo]

That was a pretty dirty slider from Romo on that 1st strike to Simba. 

[Revad]

Followed by more really good sliders 

[Biergott]

Wow.  It’s like we are playing the Astros or Red Sox or something.  This is painful

[Docwaukee]

We should have added at the deadline.  

[eligrba4ever]

Sigh. Oh, well. Turning the page. Moving on. 

The 20-game Angels winning streak remains tantalizingly just over the horizon.

[UndertheHalo]

Anyone know if @Chuckster70is doing that football league again ?

[fan_since79]

That Marte pinch-hit appearance lasted like three seconds.

Total futility.

The party line is the kids aren't ready yet so we're stuck with this deadwood.

Make it 65-97!!!

Maybe some decade, they can find a relief pitcher as good as Alvarado!!!!

Ya know, this is a season where a lot of the teams that were supposed to be REALLY bad, have turned out not to be. Detroit, Cincy, the Padres, the Marlins. There may be no team that loses 100 games this year. Maybe BAL and KC.

I think 65-97 might git er done, for a top draft pick!!!!

By God, we need to play Valbuena every day!!!!!! Get Noe up to 80 innings!!!!!!! And bring the kids up and let them flounder, if they will !!!!!! It will be good experience for them!!!!!!!!! 

Like The Bard said, "The Tank's the thing, wherein we'll reap the rewards, of a king".

[rottiesworld]

I say no the Rays are not that bad, it's the Angels that aren't worth crap. I can't believe they can't even beat the Rays. I'm surprised the Angels aren't in last place. I feel sorry for Trout having to go through this shit every fucken year. I hope he ask for a trade as he should not have to go through this. I know that he gives it everything he has but the front office and owner are so tight with the money being in there ass to spend it and get good players instead of crap the GM finds in the trash can and then keeps players who would not make a little league team on the Angels team for the whole year. There better be a lot of changes next year and Moreno better stand up and get his check book out of his ass and spend on great players, or Trout will be gone and hopefully the fans stop going to the games until he does or sell the damn team.
