The Bruce Springstein school of lineup cards.

[T.G.]

The Angels lineup is the Jeopardy question, "What is atrocious?"

[Angels 1961]

Sounds like a law firm Paris, Tucker, Goodrum and Pillar

[Slegnaac]

Paris has accomplished the task of moving Adell and Neto up in the order!

GO ANGELS!!! 

RISE TO THE ROYAL OCCASION!!

May 11 and 11 games under .500.The Halos have a solid grip on last place in the West.

123 games to play until the Angels can rest their weary selves in the offseason. 

The Angels can split the KC series with wins tonight and Sunday. 

Click your ruby-red heels together and say "there's no place like home" twice.

Unfortunately the mods won't let me start an "excuse thread" so we can pre post the reasons for the loss before the game actually transpires.   Everyone making excuses instead of holding the team on the field accountable for doing their jobs.

Bottom line is that this team is better than their record shows.   The team, and most of the posters on this board, are just too comfortable losing and blaming existential factors

I am going to suggest that we are all “owners” of our own posting activity, and ultimately responsible for the quality of our own posted product.  Sir, congratulations on being the no-personal-awareness and bad quality owner of your message board posts.  Basically the Arte Moreno.

Would you knock this shit off. They are all accountable on the field, for FFS they dumped Aaron Hicks, Washington has benched Adell a couple times. The starting pitchers are not stepping off the mound after 2 innings, they are being kept on that mound regardless of outcomes. 

Quit being an obnoxious fool. Bottom line is this team is exactly what the record says they are. That's a bunch of young guys trying to learn on the job and the veterans are completely worthless IL Queens.

This is a rebuild team, what everyone whined they wanted but now don't want to pay the costs in losses for a season. And they will be what they are regardless of your stupid narratives.

@Chuck and other mods, have you prevented @Swordsman78 from creating a ridiculous thread excuse thread? If the answer is no, then Sword can shut the fuck up about it.

And he still hasn't explained why he thinks a team with Tucker, Pillar, Goodrum, Calhoun, etc. should be better than their current record. 

[Slegnaac]

What did Erica do to her hair?????

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh wait, it is O'Neal 

[Swordsman78]

Excellent inning by Anderson 

[daygloman]

Far OUT!

Pillar with a three bagger!

Go Halos!

[jsnpritchett]

Maybe we'll get another squeeze bunt into a double play here.

I just expect a big market team with their entire pitching staff healthy to be better than 14-25.   
 

The young players are doing fine.

[Stradling]

Still hasn’t. 

[eligrba4ever]

ADELL AND 2 RUNNERS ON BASE!!!

[Swordsman78]

Great at bat by Adell!   Young guys stepping up as they should 

[Slegnaac]

take that brandon marsh

[AngelsLakersFan]

Ok, Jo Adell has pretty much guaranteed an injury is incoming now.
