The off-days around the all-star break. Can't wait for the second half to begin, the Angels have been really fun lately.

Is the day after the AS game the worst day ever for pro sports?  Normally there's not even an NBA finals game.  

I'm sure there's some 3 day cricket match I'm missing not missing.

Haven't seen the schedule, are they back on friday?

 

Frack.

The only game in all of MLB on Thursday is the Red Sox/Yankees.  Everyone else starts Friday.

Might be the time for me to solve a mystery that has baffled me for years: Why ESPN, a sports network, televises poker.

Nope. 

 

 

It was a T20 match. Australia beat West Indies by 4 runs, with Marsh going for 75 (44).

So my options are skanks/sux, or roger lodge with no game to talk about

Could be worse

 

Remember watching last year, during covid?.... when they were showing people playing each other in maddon. And cornhole....

 

I will say this. FSW played a ton of classic angel games last year. That was actually cool as hell. Saw every playoff game, and lots of forgotten moment ones. Like cycles, big comebacks, etc.

Not sure of they do it, but it would be cool of the app had a library of all that stuff

Inconsistent strike zones by the umpires!

Bring on the robo zone for balls and strikes. 

Also get rid of the woke commissioner.

They should put on some top AAA games at the big stadia during the break for the hardcore fans to watch. Would be fun for the fringe and up and coming players to get a taste of the big league facilities and with cheap tickets and a beer promotion maybe there would be a decent crowd too. Got to be better than this void.

Love this idea. 

[Blarg]

That's because you don't work the Financials for baseball. Opening a major league stadium for a minor league game would be a huge loss. 

[Torridd]

Haven't read through the whole list so my apologies for any duplicates. My answer is losing. This has been a very tiresome stretch for the Angels especially in a year when my Isles and Suns have excelled.

[Torridd]

Losing games that should have been won aka losing big leads.

Our roster lately, with everyone out, has been flirting with that theory

Cornhole is still on. And axe throwing.

Come on, man.

you can always go to the “what have you watched lately?” thread and ignore recommendations from Lou like I’ve done.

No way. I’m still adorable. If I had any friends you could ask them.

Perhaps you can meet up with cramp and blarg. I hear they could use another one.

Texas in July? Yeah, I don’t think so. I’d rather see Patty’s testicles.

First rule of Testicles Club is we don’t ever speak of Testicles Club.

Lou can though, since he only has one.
