Losing a season series to that pathetic team!

[Angel Oracle]

Halos are a disgrace to MLB.

Dominguez is mediocre against most teams, but not against this team.

WTF are you going to do about it in 2014?

I want annihilation in 2014.

[Pbonetheman]

We have to stomp them early and convincingly next year to get rid of their confidence when playing us.

[SoWhat]

Are you seriously gonna sit there and complain when they've won 15 of their last 20 games? Come on, dude.

That's fine and good. But losing a season series to a team that will be lucky to win 52 games is a total joke.

[Pbonetheman]

Never a good thing when 20% of the Astros' wins come at our expense. Need to win the next two.

I agree with what you're saying in this thread, but Houston already has 51 wins with 15 games left.

The only division the Angels have a losing record against is the AL West. That has to change from top to bottom.

That really is the difference to their season.

AO's gotta find the dark cloud in the silver lining.  

[Stradling]

Pretty easy to guess who started this thread. AO take comfort in the fact that we won a lot more games against Toronto than we usually do.

Vargas though...

[Angel_Fan_4_Life]

It's more than frustrating that the Halos have lost all season against the Astros.

And I love how some see the "silver lining" of the Halos winning the last 15 out of 20 when it doesn't matter anymore since they are way off the mark for a playoff spot.

This team needs to be very concerned this trend of losing to the Astros does not continue into the 2014 season. If the Halos are in the hunt for a playoff spot in 2014, the Astros could be our daddy and spoil it at the end of the season. Then lets see how many silver linings posts we have here!

So our focus going into the offseason should be setting this team up to beat the Astros next year.  Got it.

 

I'm still enjoying the good play while it lasts.  

[Glen]

Vargas though...

 

 

That was concerning.  I was listening on the radio and they said Vargas is terrible against the Astros.  Just one of those things.  That said, it give you a bit of a pause if you're thinking about re-signing him in the offseason.

[Stradling]

Glen, if we have learned one thing this year its that we aren't allowed to enjoy when the team wins games and plays well, because the season is OVER. The team obviously should be focusing on losing to better the draft pick, because "starry eyed" Moreno will sign Cano and we will still get to keep our pick, which should help this team in 4 years. To fight that logic is just plain silly and really shows how much of a fan you aren't.

[Stradling]

The Angels have a history of having average to bad teams that beat us on a regular basis. Lately it was Toronto, before that The A's (when they weren't good), Twins when they weren't good, and KC for some reason had our number. People hate to hear this because they think it is a cop out, but it's just baseball.

[Angel_Fan_4_Life]

Glen...all series are important. Don't put your assumptions into it. I was just making a comment about how we need to play better against a team in our division that owns us right now.

Have a nice day.

[Angel Oracle]

It's baseball, but the Astros are not your ordinary mediocre team. Losing quite a few season series to say Toronto is frustrating. But losing a season series to a team as bad as the Astros have been is just downright embarrassing.

I have been very happy with the play over the past 3 weeks going into this series. I just don't like being embarrassed seeing them go at best 9-10 against a team that may end up winning barely over 1/3 of its' games. It would almost be like losing the 2003 season series to the 119 loss Tigers, which the Halos thankfully didn't do.

One season we were swept by Baltimore, and they weren't good either. Strange things happen in baseball.

[Stradling]

Then AO, choose not to be embarrassed.

What? He's right...don't know why you have to post with such a holier than thou attitude

[Stradling]

It's not a holier than thou attitude, it's called perspective. Stupid shit happens in baseball to every single team all the time. For some reason the Astros play their best baseball against us, it happens. The Astros are a team that plays hard and execute against us at a level that is higher than other better baseball teams do against us. I'm guessing Tigers fans feel the same about the Angels this year. In my opinion Its not really something to be concerned with at least not this season.

So it isn't a concern that a HORRIBLE team is executing better than us?

[Stradling]

I didn't see the game, but to me it looked like Vargas shit the couch. Tough to win when you give up 9 runs. The Angels have been executing at a pretty high level for about a month now against better teams, so no, one game isn't going to upset me.
