Frieri Meatball

I think we have the wrong talent suiting up for the game.

A's hitters have a plan at the plate. Angels hitters are guessing at the plate

Batters Fasciitis

Angels should take note of the way the A's pretty much never give away free strikes to the pitcher.  They compete on every pitch, and swing at the ones in their zones, whether its the first or the ninth pitch of the AB.  

Cron is just an awful defender.

4th?!?!?! I didn't even know...
 
Holy hell Skip get your freakin' head out of you ass! It is now so blatantly obvious that he is stupidly loyal to veterans no matter how they perform.
 
THE GUY IS BATTING ONE FREAKIN' FIFTY!

Stop playing like pussies and play with an attitude....

Kohn is full of crap...along with jepsen...I don't care how good they've been of late...it's only for a while before they shit themselves...it's been like that for the past 6 years(jepsen)

Go back to 4th OFer cowgill.  That was horrid.

Well Done Richards..
 

Lol this team is mentally weak.

Jepsen didn't pitch well at all. He was saved by two great catches. If either one of those wasn't caught (especially Green's spectacular play), the game would have probably been lost. Scioscia constantly mismanages the BP. Morin came in and retired the side on 11 pitches. Why oh why wasn't he allowed to pitch the next inning? It would probably Have prevented Salas coming in and using either Smith or Frieri. Scioscia refuses to let players doing well continue to do well, either hitters or pitchers. His style is obsolete and, in my opinion he has outlived his worth for this team.

By Adam Dodge, AngelsWin.com Senior Writer - 
In high school I had a classmate named Trevor. Orange High was, and I assume still is, a school populated mainly by the children of working-class families. We didn't have a bunch of rich kids. Most of us grew up in pretty modest homes with two working parents. We drove used cars when we turned sixteen, worked P/T jobs and went to community colleges after graduation - a very average school with a very average student body. Except for the Asians, of course.   Trevor didn't fit an Orange High student profile. He was very poor. He lived in a trailer park with his uncle. He couldn't afford even modest shoes and clothes. He was in the same jeans and a white t-shirt every day. His shoes were worn. He had no car. Physically, he was unattractive. Scrawny with acne, Trevor was far from being a BMOC (big man on campus).    Despite his disadvantages, Trevor consistently pulled the finest sixteen and seventeen year-old tail in the city limits. We're not talking about the nerdy band chicks who were secretly hot under their glasses and stupid faux lettermen jackets. We're talking cheerleaders and bitchy student government broads with tans and racks.    It was baffling.   He must have had a great personality and a ton of confidence, right?   Nope. He was a shy dipshit with no sense of humor.    He must have been incredibly bright and articulate, right?   Not at all. He was in and out of the continuation school down the street all four years and never graduated.    There can be only one explanation. While it has never been confirmed, deductive reasoning allows for only one conclusion. Trevor was hung like six horses.    As the Angels head into the land of brawling pregnant whores to take on the Oakland Athletics, we're faced with yet another mystery. How can a team so disadvantaged - with no money or fans, an awful ballpark in one of the worst neighborhoods in North America, comprised of has beens, never will bes and never wases consistently dominate the standings?   There can be only one answer. The A's must not have a single dong measuring anything less than 8 inches.    Good looks and riches cannot compete with an overgrown pork sword on a day to day basis. Think about it. The guy in the band with a third leg is sleeping right now. Soon, he'll wake up, eat a burrito, pop open a beer and watch cartoons. Meanwhile, the well paid accountant is on his third cup of lukewarm Folger's, knee deep in P & Ls..    What is the lawyer up to this weekend? He'll be up at 7am to tend to his garden before spending his day at the soccer field watching seven year-olds do nothing for hours on end. Our bassist with the python? He will be at the beach with a bunch of chicks on a 48 hour bender.    Sucks, right?    Well, not so fast. Who's going to be spending weeks in Hawaii in 15 years? Who will have a big house, nice car, successful children and a 10 handicap when it really matters? Who will the prom queen wake up next to every morning in the end?    Not our buddy with the anaconda. He'll be sneaking off to the dive bar for some Buds on his lunch break from Guitar Center. He'll share a frozen pizza with his three roommates for dinner every night. His girlfriend will have five kids from six different dads, all named Spider.    This A's team will party. It will likely party for the entirety of the regular season. But like every other overgrown bologna pony, it will lose out to a classier, cleaner more established penis come October.

Watched Josh Hamilton hit towering shots into the stands while taking BP last night. He looked great. 
 
Talked to him for a few and he took a picture with my daughter, signed for the wife.
 

 

Aybar is worth every penny he's paid. SS position is so volatile, look at the starters around Baseball. We have PED users hitting 20 HR's making 13 million a year, light hitting defensive first guys making the league minimum, error probe 20/20 threats talking about 8 year contract extensions and inn the midst if all if that craziness is Erick Aybar.
Does a little bit of everything and will consistently give you 2-3 win seasons and entertain you along the way. 8 million a year is a perfectly suitable price for his services.

BONUS: Erick Aybar interviews with Jose Mota.

FreeBedrock.

Is it a coincidence that Howie shits himself as soon as they play games within the division? The guy disappears when the games have a little more meaning to them.

No idea. I mean LAPD had no problem with it...

The Halos are intimidated by AL West opponents

Nope.
 
Funny is being one strike away from winning the World Series ..... twice.
 
Also funny is being 5 games up with 9 to play and completely f*cking it up.

In before " I've had that before and it's really painful.  I wouldn't wish that upon anyone "
 
For the record, i hope he's out for the year.
 
And next year.
