Holy Crap we came back to win a game!

Kole still sucks for the record.

Dear Kole Calhoun:

I hate Kinsler more as an Angel than I ever did when he played for Texas and Detroit. 

Dear Chris Young and GRich:

Dear Chris Young:

At least you didn't get a foul ball to the dick.

Shohei's interpreter is slacking, dude you have the best gig ever, at least 

Shohei's interpreter is slacking.  C'mon dude you have the best gig in the translating business and all of baseball as a common folk, don't screw it up!  Noticed that the interview asked a long question and his interpreter bounces 3 words over to Shohei, wtf? 

Is it possible Ohtani understands English and understood what the interviewer was asking? and maybe his interpreter was saying "Did you understand?"

"Fire Scioscia" The Unofficial Angelswin.com tagline since about 2003.

Because I am such a selfless person, I am furiously going to bitch and complain about this team on a message board until we get a win, and then bitch about the way we won and complain about the fact we didn't win 13-0, and Sosh needs to be fired, and Trout sucks, and Jorge Ohtani needs to go back to the Venezuelan Republic, and that Josh Hamilton was the greatest Angels player of all time.

Nothing to see here, no forearm tightness or Tommy John surgery for ol Beardy McBeardface

It's funny how within the context of a baseball season, a lot of us ride the roller-coaster of emotions as the Angels will play well, and then slump. I always find it funny how quiet this forum gets when the Angels play well, but then they start to play poorly you would think that we were the 2003 Detroit Tigers. Hell just watching @Chuckster70's Twitter feed during a game is a fun adventure all its own. We are a pretty good team, we have the 2 most exciting baseball players in baseball, a pitching rotation that is finally coming into its own, but you wouldn't think that the way our team has been playing lately. Our team has issues as well, a bad bullpen, a 52 year old cleanup hitter, and a lasagna eating tub of meatballs who is actually quite progressive if you think about it (Allowing a six man rotation to accommodate Ohtani, shuffling the lineup) but he refuses to hurt Albert's precious feelings by moving him from the cleanup spot.

My point is that we are a pretty good team that is a few adjustments away from being a great team, and also we are not the Dodgers. Talk to me in 10 years when we pine for the days of Ohtani and Trout.

One of you guys should go with Nick. He's fun to hangout with at the game.

 

I second this, @Angelsfan626 is a good guy and fun to hang out with.

If Calhoun has a big night tonight it’s because an 81 year old catholic lady named Carol just called into Roger Lodges show begging all Angel fans to pray for Calhoun to find his swing.  She then led a prayer on radio for him.  

Probably the best call Lodge has ever taken. 

Well they did do a Native American cleansing ritual at Angel Stadium back in 2002 so....you never know what will work. I hope they were praying to @Jobu

Ohtani batting 2nd....

I don't normally rejoice in the suffering of others, but I can't stand Cano, so...

Ty Cobb wasn't a racist, bro. Get with the times.

I think you missed the satirical aspect of my post (The 1st pitch part was a fact though). Even if Ty Cobb wasn't a racist he was still an a-hole especially during his playing days.

On April 27, 1961. He was friends with the Angels first GM Fred Haney. He felt some forearm tightness after the pitch. and 3 year old Mike Scioscia said "He gave us a chance to win today, but we had to tip the cap and turn the page on Ty Cobb". The old racist bastard died less than 3 months later, probably due to a failed Tommy John surgery.

@Griffey's Corner Well written post mortem of the Angels problems lately. I'm not the kind of fan who gets overly pissed off game by game, but last night had me ready to flip tables. I kept hoping that Kole would do SOMETHING offensively to help this team, but instead was completely predictable. Also we need to figure out how to win the games that don't feature Ohtani either hitting or pitching. I also agree EY Jr. would be better than Chris Young.

Would you rather Gubicza talks more? 

Victor is also really good at reigning in Gubi.
