You know, log on, see the gameday thread, fire off a remark that you've probably posted in every game day thread for the last two months. 
 
Freese had a run scoring single. Maybe you should get out of bed before noon to catch a few innings before blasting a player. 

Ask Weaver and the Twins.

No I don't necessarily agree. He had less than 200 PA this year. They have him roughly a third of a seasons at bats to see if he had anything left. They did right by him and I'm fine with that.

I never said we shouldn't expect that. I was merely commenting that fan emotions run far higher on his failures than his success, because it usually ends with the other team celebrating in our face.

Best pitcher in baseball and one of the best humans too. Not a Dodger fan, not a hater either. Very easy to appreciate Clayton the pitcher and Clayton the human who has positively touched lives all over the world with his wife. Congrats Clayton! Wish you were an Angel.

1. Mike Trout! (3-5, 1 HR)
2. Aybar (1-2, 1 HR) But he had to be taken out of the game early
3. Hamilton (2-4, 1 BB)
 
 

Then they suck at losing, because they've won more than they've lost.

For the few who actually read them, I'm taking brief break from the gameday scorecards. I'll post the current three game series vs. the A's as one multi-game file, then begin posting daily again with Friday's game.
 
The management apologizes for any inconvenience.

Join the chatroom, and tomorrow there won't be any threads calling you out for what you said during the game!

“Fvck this team. Green down. Cron down when Stewart comes back. I can't stand this organization”
 
“I'm going to watch hockey and not even check on the score during the game tonight”
 
“Just saw Sale's career numbers against the Angels.... Not sure this one is even worth following tonight.”
 
“This game is going to suck.”
 
“I'll be surprised if Josh makes contact at all tonight vs Sale”
 
“Game over drive home safely” (3rd Inning)
 
“turned the game off. can't take this crap..”
 
“Doesn't really matter who started this game for the Angels. They would have had to pitch a CG shutout just to keep the team in the game.”
 
“Shutout for sure.”
 
“…We never had a chance in this game…”
 
“This one's over. No one on our team looks like they have any chance of hitting Sale.”
 
“It was game over after they scored the first 2 runs.”
 
“This team is a train wreck.”
 
“&*%@. Never mind. we suck. goodnight.”
 
“Hahaha...rasmus is full of crap” (Rasmus' line: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 3 SO)
 
. . . and then . . .
 
“!!!!! Holy smokes Mike Trout !!”
 
“Whoa!! Made many of us AW members sound like fools. Way to go Trout!”
 
“Wow I turned off this game in the 6th. Holy shit!!”
 
“Well that was unexpected.”

stay classy, AW!

Seat snobs bore the shit out of me

That's not Gary Busey and that's not Kansas City. That photo is from Ryan's second no-hitter precisely two months later in Detroit (July 15, 1973) and the catcher is Art Kusnyer. Jeff Torborg caught Ryan's first no-no.

Yes I know, but it sure is a cool picture of one of his many no nos.

I think Lou is making stuff up. That is definitely Gary Busey.

I often wonder how many people criticizing Tait on here actually live in Anaheim.
I don't have a dog in this fight, but I'm glad that anyone - even a politician - is pausing long enough to ask questions. Rubber stamps are bad, even for your most favorite sports team.

Lol @ this thread.

While people obsess about individual performances, Cameron points out it is all noise. Like last night, the bullpen gave up two runs in the 7th and you would have thought by fan reaction on the board they had given up any chance of winning and yet they hadn't even given up the lead.

Well, he gave up 2 ER in 7IP..in Yankees Stadium. That's a great outing.

He just took an 11 pitch walk.
