Why is this place less active when we win?

[Brandon]

7 straight.

Bullpen has been solid recently.

[Corona]

Complaining is more entertaining. 

[seenoevil]

knee jerk reactions elicit a reaction from people, where to vent their frustrations. Winning makes people at ease and happy to go to sleep with an angel win.

 

Maybe if the Angels were kicking ass and in 1st place, this place would be more busier.

[Chuckster70]

Easier to complain than say nice things.

 

But you're right. The bullpen looks good. The SP is looking good, timely hitting and GREAT defense. 

 

Sounds familiar. (2002).

I love the bp right now

If we all play to our potential i dont think we need to make a move for an extra piece. We got all the right pieces. Hopefully Burnett can come back (reaching i know).

[James]

Seems to be a thread on this topic at least once a year.

[Docwaukee]

losing promotes controversy. 

 

controversy promotes activity. 

 

also, people still have negative stuff to post yet it's generally considered bad form around here to do so immediately following a solid win. 

 

like if I were to post a thread about Trumbo being a wreck, people would call me out. 

[JAHV76]

Vent threads are cheaper than therapy? ;

I think many on this board live just to bash the Angels not support them.  However, to be fair when we had a lot of excitement on this board when we were winning divisions.  I think a lot is that those who are excited about our success right now are cautiously optimistic because we are so far back for the playoffs.  If we make a run and cut our deficit to 3 games instead of 9 games  you will see more activities after we win.

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

There's a lot more things to talk about and the message board is more interesting when the team loses/isn't playing well. That's not unique to this site. It's like that for all teams message boards.  

[gotbeer]

This is probably what Dipoto envisioned in the offseason.

We've always had the pieces, just players weren't playing up to their potential so failos here blamed Sosh and Jerry....or whatever else made their little hearts content.

When the Angels win, it's hard to say "I told you so".

[Mark68]

Sorry. It's my fault. I haven't been posting as much because I'm now a full-time college student (yes, in the summer) and don't have as much time as I used to.

 

My apologies.

That,10 K in the game and another E. Can't be TOO happy with a win, there's always room for improvement

[Halos of Anaheim]

Because we won 8 in a row 5 weeks ago and still ended up being 10 games back AGAIN 4 weeks later. If this team was in first place the board would be insane, talking about our pitching rotation in the playoffs and etc. We haven't made the playoffs in 3 years. 

[Erstad Grit]

Last several weeks we have been a top 3 team in baseball. Problem is the same as last year, the incredibly awful start with high expectations. Once we get past .500, get within 5 of our division, and pass up a couple more teams in the WC this place will be bumping. 

[Tyler]

Because people arent stressed out and dont need to release.

[Angel Oracle]

Downs and Trumbo picked up Jepsen.

Good teams pick up one another.

There's still some question as to how good they can be. But picking up one another is one sign of that.

[Brandon]

I thought Jepsen pitched fine. Was ahead in counts and got unlucky with Beltran. The third batter had a good AB.

[Halos of Anaheim]

lol he pitched terrible. just watch the difference between him and weaver. he was throwing predictable 97mph fastballs while weaver was throwing 5 different pitches all at different speeds and locations. Weaver was keeping the hitters off balance and honestly could have went 1, and even two more innings.

[FabulousFabregas]

I hope I didn't jinx them by coming on here tonight!  I'm going to the game tomorrow, good vibes hopefully!  The last game I went to was that massive comeback a couple of weeks ago.

 

I've been busy in the last week or so with the expansion/name change of my rock news website (AlternativeNation.net, cheap plug) so that's taken up most of internet time recently.  AngelsWin and porn has had to sit on the backburner.

[haloman]

I'm still giddy about the GREAT pitching performances tonight. Cardinals are a good offensive group and its tough to shut them down. The only thing that was missing was a Albert bomb. I want to see him do well against this team and think he will. Look out beetches!

[Chuckster70]

I'm super stoked and looking forward to more wins.

 

I was busy tonight entertaining family visiting in town, as tomorrow is their last night. 

 

I've been teasing my father in law though as the Angels have won 9-11 since he's arrived. For the first time ever, I don't want him to leave.
