[AngelsAndRamsFan]

@Alden_Gonzalez: #Angels lineup: Cowgill RF, Trout CF, Kendrick 2B, Trumbo 1B, Hamilton LF, Aybar SS, Nelson 3B, Iannetta C, Shuck DH; Wilson SP. #Rangers

[nate]

Some much needed rest for Calhoun's veteran frame.

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

@Alden_Gonzalez: Conger has now started only one of the #Angels' last seven games. He said recently he isn't injured.

@MikeDiGiovanna: Tony Phillips, 54, worked out for #Rangers MGR Ron Washington in Angel Stadium today. Tony hopes to play winter ball in Dominican Republic.

Wilson is pitching again?

Wilson is pitching again?

He made a mistake. Williams is pitching.

Remember how yesterday was the B lineup.......

No doubt they will meet up at the Ivanhoe to discuss contract terms...

[FireThemAll]

Typical Scioscia sitting young players with potential, and playing useless veterans. So sick of this guys shit.

[Angel Oracle]

Conger >>>> Iannetta.

[rageous]

What is the magic number until they are officially out of the playoffs.

Maybe then we can see Calhoun and Conger every day in the lineup.

[Mudville]

Do you guys a better draft pick or your guy playing?

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

@MikeDiGiovanna: #Angels LHP Jason Vargas will start for triple-A Salt Lake vs. Round Rock Thursday night with target of 75-80 pitches.

Eh, this sucks. I haven't really been watching lately, but when I do I tune in to watch Calhouns AB's.

[papawealey]

Calhoun is being rested for the playoff run.

[FireThemAll]

Do you guys a better draft pick or your guy playing?

 

With our bullpen, we should be able to have both of those things.

Calhoun ate the last hunk of cold lasagna out of the team fridge. Better not to eat the big guy's breakfast, Kole.
Seriously, how is there anyone left to defend this moron???

[Jimmag]

It is pay back time!

No doubt Washington needs to hold the line with Phillips.

[Halo4life714]

Awesome now I for sure ain't watching this game. So I'm guessing the lefty is the reason for no Calhoun? Got it Sosh. Cause you know absolutely everything and you know that Kole can't hit Lefty pitching. Got it.

yep, scioscia drops him to the 9th spot vs a lefty to show he has no confidence in him, then after he went 0-4 yesterday, he just benches him altogether.  4 ab's was all it took to show calhoun cant hit lefties.  scioscia is unbelievable.

[Homebrewer]

Everyone knows that Cowgill is the future of this team, and that these games are MUST WINS if this 2013 team is ever going to see  500.

Oh well, I don't watch the games anymore anyhow.
Won't until Scioscia is fired, either.

[Erick McClendon]

Wins for Texas could be good for LAA. You guys want a high draft pick and Texas wants the post-season...

As long as the Angels beat the Rangers to help keep them out of the playoffs, I don't care if they lose all of their other games this year.
