13 Games Under .500

[Angelsjunky]

The Angels are now 53-66, which as far as I can tell is the first time they've been 13 games under .500 since 1999. And yes, that means this is the first time a Mike Scioscia team has been this bad.

 

A real low-point for the franchise, my friends.

And about to get even lower, this is a piss poor road team that has 5 more road than home games remaining.

Lots of low points through this team's history. How about the Scioscia team that lost 19 of their final 21 games in 2001?

This is definitely a season to forget.  Everything has gone wrong.  Injuries have been a huge problem too.  Have they had the most injuries in the MLB this season???  I wouldn't be surprised if they did.

On a positive note, today is Arte's birthday and the team did give him a nice unlucky #13 loss below .500.

Way to go team!

 

(trying to figure out how to do the whole silver lining thing when there are none - still practicing)

These aren't low points. Low points are when Bostock and Adenhart were murdered. This stuff can be fixed sooner or later, murders can't be fixed.

You know what he meant.

 

Step down from your high horse bro...

Not even close.

 

It's like the prayer many Laker fans had with the whole "woe is us, just wait until we're all healthy!  why is no one ever injured on other teams and we've had 100% of all NBA injuries?!??//"

 

The team then proceeded to play even worse once healthy.

 

If I had to guess (and it's always debatable), I'd throw out:

• Yankees
• Dodgers
• Jays
• Marlins
• Athletics

Though I should spend time looking through rosters as memory is fuzzy.

 

Injuries happen to every single team - only those that are very poorly constructed can't deal with them.

What is wrong with you?

That team could tank with the best of them.

 

Basically, the same year (I know it wasn't the exact same roster - Appier, Frankie, etc) won the world series the next year.
