That... is a fugly lineup

[Taylor]

12 runs minimum.

[Angel Dog and Beer]

Raise your hands if you knew before the season started that Shuck would be batting leadoff, Cowgill second and Nelson fifth.

@Alden_Gonzalez: Scott Kazmir, who faces ex-teammate Weaver tonight, has a 1.93 ERA in his last 9 starts, dropping ERA from 5.89 to 3.89. #Angels #Indians

@Alden_Gonzalez: More holding-runners practice for the #Angels. Now it's Mike Butcher working with middle infielders on pickoffs at second.

[Angel Oracle]

That's how bad it's gotten, without Pujols and with Hackilton having visions of Mario Mendoza.

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

@MikeDiGiovanna: #Angels LHP Jason Vargas, who made triple-A rehab start Thursday night, said he is ready to return to rotation for next start.

I've been waiting for the day we'd have Chris Nelson hitting 5th.

so after one 0-3 against a lefty, calhoun never gets a start vs a lefty ever again?  that's some brilliant managing right there, one strike ur out.

 

unbelievable.

[Amazing Larry]

Scioscia wants Kazmir back next year so he constructed a lineup that can only build his pitching confidence.

in before someone justifies this by pointing out that Calhoun is only batting .200 against lefties in his 10 big league ABs against them.

wow Sciscia is absolutely inept. No Calhoun? Smh.

[Scott34]

Seriously beginning to dislike Scioscia.  He has to go.

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

@MikeDiGiovanna: #Angels MGR Mike Scioscia said 2B Howie Kendrick will go om DL because of L knee strain, probably Sat.

[Amazing Larry]

In other words, gone for the rest of the season.

[fan_since79]

Weaver will have to be absolutely perfect to overcome this lineup.

[Tank]

FREE KOLE CALHOUN!!!!!

[rageous]

Fvck off Scioscia.

I won't shed a tear when you are fired in the off season.

I actually did laugh out loud when I saw that in the lineup.  Just embarrassing.

[bloodbrother]

Amazing how far they've fallen since April. That lineup has about 3 guys we expected to see all year.

[Troll Daddy]

I don't see that much importance in the lineup any longer ... I will miss seeing Kole play today. I believe Scioscia wants to break him in slowly and put him in situations where he will most likely succeed. I believe the club is very high on him and he'll get plenty of AB's.
