Angels one run after 8 innings with the gale blowing straight out toward center. Hmmm.

Make that one full 9-inning game.

Bullshit, stop your nonsense. 

Huh? All I read here is put Ward in and play Ward and call up Ward and that Ward will take over at 3rd base.

[Angel Oracle]

Sweep incoming!   The cumulative scores will be embarrassing.

[eligrba4ever]

Next 6-game Angels winning streak begins Saturday in Chicago.

You mean like the last time the Angels played at Wrigley? My memory isn't precise but it seems like it might have been like 40-5 or something ridiculous.

That's understandable.   But some are saying that he might miss the Texas series too???????????????????????? 

Trout is quietly becoming injury prone.

Taylor Ward could hit .350 he’d still be a lousy option for third base.  

This is going to be a problem. He was pushed out as a catcher already. We certainly don’t have another DH spot available.

At least I got to watch a game, shitty as it was.

In Bloomington, Minn., the ground crew looked like it was trying to plow snow this morning. Now it's a blizzard.

Cool I’ll wait until you quote a normal person who says he our savior.

The bottom line is that the Angels need a 3B, a catcher, a 1B and a RF.  And 2B is questionable. That’s half the line up.....so a lot has to go right. And that’s also assuming they’re fine in the rotation. 

Which is why they should have seriously considered Machado. Erasing any one of those needs as a long term concern would be huge.

I had a great time at Wrigley today.   They call it the Friendly Confines and it truly is.  Everyone I encountered was great.

It's supposed to rain and snow in Chicago all day on Sunday. The Angels just need to win tomorrow, and then squeak out of there with a split.

Great stadium and fun atmosphere. I remember going out there in 2010. We stayed at the same hotel as the team. Went to the bar, took shots with the players, Quinlan told me he sucked. Good times.

And then Scioscia patted him on the back and said, "There there, son, don't be too hard on yourself."

Yeah, we need to trade his China doll ass.

 

 

 

Hey @Angel Oracle, is that how it works?

It's amazing how friendly baseball fans are when everyone's drunk...except when there are some angry drunk guys in the mix.

Cubs fans: "Hey look there's an Angels fan, how cute"

you'd be surprised. when I went I had a stadium usher, who must have been 80 yrs old, tell me he couldn't believe how many Angels fans were at the ballpark. 

[Stradling]

There were thousands of Angel fans.  Most of my section was Angel fans.

you should go to every game you can while you're there. make sure to go a few hours early to enjoy the surrounding area. (and stay after the game for the same)

then hit Division later at night. 

The Angels are 0-2 this season with Stradling in attendance.

He is struggling fielding but keep in mind all of the Cubs runs came off the long ball
