Adios

And there is the ball game

where did Trout go? He has mostly been m.i.a. since the ASB.

I just got caught up live. Holy crap, have the bats, specifically the high priced bats let us down tonight. So sad. 0-million at the plate.

What an amazing way for him to finish his last game at Yankee Stadium. What a game to be at if your a Yankee fan. I am happy for Jeter and the Yank fans.

This win will probably get them on a run. It is important for us to keep winning. I could see the A's winning 8 or 9 out of 10 after this. In typical A's fashion.

I think this is tongue in cheek. Can't and won't believe that he really means that.

We aren't winning this game if sosh doesn't pull cj. He is extremely hittable right now. And getting behind in the count.

Well I was waiting for that hr by Donaldson. I just thought it was going to be last inning with crisp on base. Thanks Coco.

Well it looks like that inning

Are we ever going to play a game where we don't give Oakland gifts with poor defense. They get more gifts than the Queen of England.

Well we got one more shot. My hope was 1 out of 3. My dream was an Angels sweep. I guess that's why they call it a dream. Maybe my dream should have been 1 out of 3?

So Oakland is playing like dog poo until they play us. We are absolutely rolling till we play them. Nothing to see here. Just the normal angels vs Oakland games of the past few years. Move along.

We sure do like to gift wrap games to the A's. My hope is that we'd win one lousy game in Oaktown. Starting to believe we will leave down 1 game.

HAHAHAHA

Hopefully that's the start of him making the pitchers more honest. Honestly they have been throwing perfect pitches right down the middle on the first pitch cuz they all know he won't swing at the first pitch.

He won't with the way he's been playing. Too bad he didn't have last year's season this year and vice versa.

No one. Nobody can replace what he means to this team.

Disagree there. That .210 batting average with 39 strike outs is not expected from Josh. You could probably pull those numbers off. He is way too good of a baseball player to perform at that level. Whats sad is that he actually was off to a good start until the bone headed slide into first.

Street is really boring and I love it!!!!

I disagree 100 percent if they win the world series. This trade was about winning it this year. If they win it all then the objective was accomplished. If they don't then I agree with you.

We need to stop spending in free agency. Honestly how many times has it worked out and we won? Its about the farm and then making mid season trades to fill holes for players who are currently producing. Free Agency is a gamble that we will lose more times than not. We are paying for past production and since these salaries are all GUARANTEED, the only ones who cant lose are the players who signed the contract. We are gambling with each player that we sign and they are like the House, in the end they never lose. Mr. Moreno, please get back to building a farm and not giving it ALL away because of desperate must win now moves. There is a time to make a trade and a time to hold pat and be patient. Basically I believe our entire franchises philosophy is wrong on how to build a perennial winner. Its definitely should not be by signing older players like Pujols and Hamilton who are past their prime.

The Angels go as the big 3 go. If Pujols, Hamilton and Trout dont produce we are dead in the water.

Wow that's so bad. I didn't know the numbers but they are worse than I thought. Let's hope the collapse comes to an end soon.

cj belongs as the mop up pitcher at this point. Otherwise just release him and move on. Another very bad Angel signing. Seriously we always seem to come out on the losing end. I like Hamilton, but at this point he isn't worth what he's getting paid. The Angels are where players come to get wealthy for past accomplishments and not perform to the expectations of their current contract. Come get rich and retire. Vernon Wells or Gary Matthews Jr anyone? Or how about MO Vaughn? How about we just build our team thru the draft and let the Yankees and red Sox sign all the over the hill and underperforming players?

So I guess it is a white flag night whenever CJ starts. We know we have no shot to win unless our bats can put 10 runs up on the board.
