Funny, I just bought a ticket for tomorrow night's game. I'm going to miss even the mediocrity when the season ends. 

Yep.

Three games later and still at 86 losses. They just have to go 3-3 the rest of the way now.

What's the tragic  number now?

They also ended their streak of 4th place finishes at 4 in a row. They're guaranteed to finish higher than 4th place in the AL West for the first time since 2017.

Baby steps!

Just win them and finish 76-86.

That would make it 32-25 after the 20-48 abyss.

And it would convince Perry and co. that very little needs to be done in the off season.

Success!

It's probably a long shot. The Angels are sitting at 86 losses and have 9 games remaining, so they'd need to go 6-3 to avoid a 90-loss season. 

Whats the tragic number now?

ZERO!

The odds of finishing 76-86 are improving.

Same. I went this weekend for the first time in I don't even remember how long.

 

They suck, but in a few days I won't even be able to listen to them suck until next year.

All that remain are three games on the road against Your Las Vegas Athletics.

At the very least, these are the last games to be played in Oakland before a decision must be made.

That's the tragedy of the thing.

Suarez? Yeah, just fine.

Lorenzen? Yeah, he improved a lot there.

Bullpen? Yeah they settled down too.

And Rendon will regain his batting stroke and not be injured, and Ward will have a breakout season, and Stassi just had a bad year, it happens. Walsh and Rengifo are ready to star!

Ready to compete next year!

Just a a 130+ OPS LF and a 1b/3b man that can hit, and off we go.

All this means is they started winning  when they were out of it and the pressure was off.

This means nothing to me.

They started winning when most of their competition out of it. So the Angels have been much more effective at adjusting their final draft position for the worse. Yay.

On a scale of 1-5 ...

winning games is a 5 and next years draft pick is a 1.

Besides were you the one constantly deriding Nevis record during the Summer?
