Trumbo 1 for 4    1 single

Move: Signing Pujols. 

Losing Pujols...I hated you guys for taking him. I hated the fact the Cardinals let the best hitter of our generation walk out the door. It did take me some time to see the Cardinals master plan brewing in the background. I am now quite happy he is off the Cardinals books. That allowed so many other players to be resigned and allowed more of our players from AAA to be brought up. Did I believe that he would ever crash and burn this hard this fast? No not in a million years.

Move: Signing Wilson

No feelings on this

Move: Trading for Greinke

I was happy that you guys took him off the Brewers roster. It made the Brewers less of a threat to the Cardinals.

Move: Trading Santana

I did hear about this one, but again it didn't concern me since we aren't playing the Angels on a regular basis.

Move: Signing Blanton

No feelings on this one

Move: Dumping Haren

No feelings on this one.

Move: Trading for Hanson

No feelings on this one.

Move: Trading for Vargas

No feelings on this one.

Move: Signing Hamilton

After our victory over the Rangers in 2011 I was amazed at his Power and his ability to be almost like Pujols with monster homeruns and a worthy threat to the Cardinals. When you guys signed him I thought holy crap...how can anyone compete against the 1-2 punch of Pujols and Hamiliton. I figured we would be seeing you guys in the post season with us. Again (I blame the Marine layer haha) I would have never guess Hamilton would crash and burn as well.

As I do watch an Angel game here and there to check out AP and crew it's very sad to see what predictable at bats both have. Pujols hard grounder to third or popout. Hamilton...well strike out....and I really feel bad for the Angels because they are now handcuffed by these two mammoth contacts for a long time.

Why not Zoidberg indeed? He's a doctor!

Hamilton's being interviewed at 7am on MLBradio tomorrow. He'll probably tell them his back has been killing him because it has. It's as if he's swinging with a back brace right now, stiff as a board, hardly any flexibility.

I'm thinking in that case he might need the 15 day DL as well. It does no good to have Hamilton and Pujols hitting while both are hurting like this. It's not helping the team at all. How long will this be allowed to go on?

Trumbo 1 for 3    1 single

I keep saying it Pujols needs to be on the minimum 15 day DL. He needs to get some rest for that foot because it's only going to get worse with him playing on it. I mean you only have what 8 more years of his contract?

As for the great Ham-bino I almost wish he'd take some time at AAA and get this swing refined. Or at least take a golf club instead of a bat and he just might have more success when chasing those low balls. He has a mental thing going on and needs to get his confidence back.

What is the worse thing that can happen? You win some games without them? 

To be honest with two titanic sized contracts Albert Pujols and Hambone...it might be a rough patch down the road for the Angels when they are expected to get more money.

You've only just hit the iceberg....now the sinking process is starting...

Fingers Crossed for you guys that they patch up the ship

Or else it's a long journey to Davy Jones's locker.

Trumbo 1-4 single

"You gotta tip to the Cubs. I mean the way they played us makes you wonder why they haven't won a world series in 103 years. You gotta tip your cap to their pitchers (who's ERA was 6+ but stats don't matter) and hold one second *answers cell phone* So the buffet is still open alright I'll be right there *hangs up* any who I hate to have to wrap this up but we are going to need to have another closed door meeting this evening. It's time to turn the page on this series and focus on our next series"

I'm rooting for you! Start that winning streak against the Cubs! You can dooooooooo it!

Trumbo 1 for 4 single

Come on Trumbo don't me down here.

So where did they order their takeout from for this meeting?   And more importantly whose turn was it to pay?

Not gonna lie. I fear for your chances against the Cubbies....

I would like the Angels to destroy them....so they can return once more to the basement where they crept out of.

Don't let me down!

The team leaders need to come out and say something or light a fire under a few rear ends to get them back in the game.

Sir Swings A Lot (Hamilton) needs to do something to get his head back in the game.

A decision needs to be made in regarding Ghost Pujols. It's time for the DL it's bad when the AAAstros pitchers with ERAS of 4+ do not fear you. Obviously his foot his causing more problems then he is letting on. Pujols needs to be the bigger person here and realize he is doing more harm then good in the lineup (sure he gets a base hit or scores some runs but he's not the Pujols that us Cardinals fans were spoiled with) sit a couple out...what is the worse thing that can happen at this point? You lose a few more games?

We knew he would eventually start to fall (stat wise) I just can't believe his fall would be so quickly...   

These are Dark times when I see the AAAstros are on the verge of sweeping the Angels. 

So my question is when do the Angels stop giving away freebies?

Catch Fire? Isn't that an all you can eat buffet that MS likes to go visit after he is done turning pages and tipping his cap?

Someone should look into this.... 

I don't know if there is such a thing as a good loss? That's the Cubs mindset!

You know I used to think the Angels problem was pitching (and yes it is bad) but here is something I just thought of. Even if you had 5 pitchers who pitched lights out for you your offense still has to produce and score runs. Losing 1-0 2-0 2-1 3-2 still doesn't help.

I couldn't even tell you where to begin on this problem. So many holes need to be filled and certain players need to step it up or go on the DL or AAA to get themselves back in the swing of things.

All I know is that people need to be held accountable and heads need to roll or what are they waiting for? The Angels to be 15-20 games out of it? 

You've got to be running out of pages to turn...surely you are near the end of this horror story.

I just don't even know what to say. I never thought the Angels would be just a few games above the AAstros. 

I mean at least you guys haven't hit Cubs low yet...on their forums they always talk about getting together and drinking Kool-Aid or something involving bungee jumping off bridges without the bungees. 

So at least you guys have that going for you.  

Ham-bone is starting to warm up i think...

Put me down for Hamilton 1 for 4 with a single

I think he meant Conger is a great catcher for the opposite team. He gave away what 5 runs? That was very nice of him.

Plus beaning a batter just standing there. That takes skills that are unheard of. 

Curse you Norris! Back to the depths of he** that you emerged from! 

Sorry I was having flashbacks of him shutting down the Cardinals on multiple occasions 

Against CY Norris....

Hmmm Pujols 1 for 4 single
