Season-turning loss

[Angel Oracle]

Bleep you Nibs Nibbler and your STUPID commercial!

[rick99gtp]

Loses do happen but need to save the L's for when the pitching implodes or the offense gets shut down not when they are up 6-1.

 

Losses come in many fashions.  The only thing that can be done about it...is to win the next day and so on.

[Angel Oracle]

I hope Arte is watching and finally tells Dipoto to build a farm system.

+infinity!

Grow some baseball smarts, Moreno!

You have a bunch of pitchers with LOUSY command!

You are right....Just turn the page

[WallyWorld]

nights like tonight you have to keep perspective . . . .500 by the ASB, .500 by the ASB, .500 by the ASB . . .

This thread is ****ing hilarious. Well done.

[SoWhat]

This thread is ****ing hilarious. Well done.

Haha seriously.

[ukyah]

sports forums are more predictable than the tide. i called it a couple days ago, but i thought it would take two losses in a row. i guess this loss was upsetting enough to double up.

 

some of you folks need equilibrium.

Angels are 8-1 in their last nine games. You are all whiny bitches.

 

This. 

 

For the Love of God. They lost a close one that they should have won. It happens.It even happened in 2002, 2008 and 2009. Good teams lose some close games every now and then.

 

Focus on this. CJ Wilson has been pretty damn good lately, until tonight. The team is scoring a shit ton of runs and our big guns are hitting finally. We basically lost .5 in the standings. We're getting Weaver and Hanson back... Things are looking up gang. 

 

Head up and shoulders back Angels fans. 

[tomsred]

The bullpen we have won't get it done over the long haul.  It seems like it's getting held together by rubber bands, and horse glue.  DiPoto really didn't fix what he had to fix in the off season.  I hope they can overcome that handicap, but it's only logical to think that they will have a very hard time doing so. 

[Hoops McCann]

this loss encapulates the season pretty well....a microcosm of the season so far.

 

poor pitching...poor bullpen...poor pen management...poor baserunning...poor situational hitting.

[YouthofToday]

If this game ends up costing us the playoffs, we never stood a chance. What you said can only be used for football.

I highly doubt we miss the playoffs by only one game.

[YouthofToday]

Also, people need to relax. It was 1 freaking game. CJ had a rough outing and was missing his spots. It happens. Nobody is perfect.

[haloman]

Gained .5 games on TX even with the loss.

[Chuck]

The Sky is falling the Sky is falling.

Season over.

Relax guys.

[Willy J.]

We were due for a clunker, I just hate it came against the Dodgers.

 

This is one game I'm very willing to turn the page on.

[stormngt]

Or CJ blowing an 8-0 lead against the Rays at home. 

 

Or Frieri blowing Greinke's shutout in four pitches in Kansas City.

 

I'd put it on par with that game against Oakland in Anaheim in which the Angels had runners at 1st and 3rd with no outs THREE TIMES, including one time down by one run in the bottom of the 9th. That last chance was squandered by a strikeout from Kendrys and a game ending double play from Kendrick. 

I wouldn't put on par with that one either.  This is not a tough loss.  It is not such an emotional loss that it will turn our season.

[nando714]

Blanton will be the stopper tonight. Book it!

Im making my way down to the rivine tonight with ny brothers...1 a giant fan the other an angels fan lol

[YouthofToday]

The Sky is falling the Sky is falling.

Season over.

Relax guys.

To be fair the season was over 2 weeks ago.

[Angel Oracle]

And to be fair, a close loss where the Halos were never ahead by much is fine. What's not fine is Nibs Nibbler blowing a FIVE run lead against a bad hitting team on pace for a whopping 550 runs scored; and also having an ERA in the upper 4.00s since the 2012 ASB.

$77 million should not buy you CRAP!

[Mudville]

The Dodgers $150 million dollar pitcher was gone in four innings and you guys are upset? Think of the panic in the Dodgers dugout, they are sucking with the highest payroll in baseball and their struggling cross town rival is beating the holy hell out of them to start another series.  

[Glen]

I like how losses after an eight-game winning streak are quantified.  

[Mudville]

I would wish those guys that think any singular loss is the season changing game would move on to something else rather than declare the season over in April, May, June..., just call it a done deal, give up like you say you are and go do something else.

[mota_madness]

Angels are 8-1 in their last nine games. You are all whiny bitches.

no doubt.  the minute we lose, people here say were toast.  the minute we win were are going to win the world series!  OMG, people take a freaking prozac and chill.  the ship has changed directions and we get two very good pitchers back this week!  relax, chill and enjoy the ride! 

[Stradling]

In before "I hope Weaver is throwing harder than 85mph or else were done" even though he shut down a very good hitting Reds team with that fastball and his change up.
