Don’t you tell me how to define gross.  I might know more than you do.

[Blarg]

One lousy leadoff hit on the first pitch and the Angels offense has shit the bed again. 

[fan_since79]

Minasian is in the booth now with Terry and Mark.

on Trout: "He's doing everything he can to get back on the field...no timetable...when he feels good he'll be back."

on Ohtani: "He has some swelling in the thumb and some bleeding under the nail."

on Rendon: "mumble mumble hip mumble groin" I swear I could not understand what he was saying.

on the trades: "We made some very aggressive offers."

The offense has been garbo since the ASB. It was only a matter of time.

on Ohtani: "He has some swelling in the thumb and some bleeding under the nail." Might pitch at end of August

on Rendon: "mumble mumble hip mumble groin" I swear I could not understand what he was saying.Making shit up because he has no clue when/if he'll be back

on the trades: "We made some very aggressive offers." Liar

I know he walked in a run but Sandoval has make some clutch pitches this game.

[fan_since79]

Minasian would also not commit to Trout traveling with the team on the next road trip. "We'll see."

[Torridd]

It would be nice to score a run against Oakland again. This is getting ridiculous. It's not Gibson and Feller on the mound.

Bassitt has our number. 2-hit shutout last time he faced us, or is my memory faulty?

That part, I couldn't care less about.  I don't see why he needs to be traveling with the team if he's not going to play.  Just let him stay here, keep getting healthy, then go on a rehab.

3 for 34

Half hoping that Upton stubs his toe again and goes on the IL.

A Saturday day game? A thought Saturdays was a fireworks night.

Before people type send Marsh back down, who do you replace him with? Remember, this team believes it can get to the playoffs so what's the better option?

I'm assuming you mean Marsh, not Walsh.  Unless you want to send this guy down?

[OttoDog]

Trout needs to stop nursing that baby calf...

70's weekend and Rich Waltz thinks Peter Sellers played James Bond in Casino Royale and Gubi agrees with him. "Good Memory you got there Rich." Peter Sellers? These fucking guys are of the generation who lived through Sean Connery.

Two fucking idiots.

Have you seen the original Casino Royale?

That will not be the last time I do that. I seem to mix them up a lot. I'll take some of Jennie Garth any day though.

Yeah.  Has somehow managed to only give up one run even though he has given up 9 baserunners.

When a foul ball jumped into the dugout in the Rockies game on 28th, Otani-san raised his right hand to cover his head. Then the ball hit his thumb.

Colors of uniform

The Angels reek

How many consecutive scoreless innings against Oakland?
