Angels#1Fan

Heaney was done. The relief pitchers should be better than the collective garbage that they are. There needs to be better talent to choose from. 

Thanks for the pussy pic, Chuck, much appreciated!

Wishing long time members and contributors @Thomas & @ettin a happy birthday.
Thank you for your long term membership and contributions. 

I loved watching Tanana!

Tanana would be in the HOF if he hadn’t hurt his arm....

You only say that because you got like 20 of them in the OP.
I'm onto your shenanigans.

I feel like this Meow button should get positive points like the "like button". It's too good not to.
Meow.

Can we somehow make the troll button a pic of Dipoto

The Angels desperately need Kole Calhoun.  This is a very pivotal time... I sincerely hopes he succeeds.

I'm actually looking forward to Calhoun returning.  He's got the best chance to provide actual quality production from RF and he's an excellent defender.  
If he can be .250/.325/.410 from this point forward, I'll be ecstatic.  

We can only hope that doesn't happen. This team needs Kole Calhoun to turn it around, it's very obvious there are no other good options.
 

I’d be sad.  Then I would root for the Angels.  If I had to choose between wining a World Series in the next ten years or having Mike Trout for the remainder of his career I would choose keeping Trout.  But if he leaves, I will be sad, I will appreciate what he did for us, and then I will go back to rooting for the team I have loved for 40 plus years.  
 
Then again Soto, you knew I would say this.  I hope you are doing well.  

Winning streak followed by losing streak..where have I seen this movie before?

Yes, please give the score at the beginning of an inning when the broadcast returns from commercial.
So often that is not done.
 

@Ace-Of-DiamondsThe date today is 6/9.

Unfortunately this was one of the risks the Angels took when we signed him because he had this problem last year in Japan and he missed a lot of the season. So now he's down again with it..it can't bode well for the future. His track record is now bad and this could easily turn into a recurring thing with TJ surgery around the corner.
It was fun while it lasted but I'm very pessimistic about this.

Tried some of that back in the 60's..at least I think I did.

Don't trade for any rentals, Billy.    Hope Ohtani's arm is fine for 2019, although an innings limit of about 120-140 innings will still need to be in place, after going through this for TWO seasons now.  

I'm going to miss the interpreter with the bad Beatles haircut.

Maybe the summer ball has gotten too common, too many innings too soon?   Splitters are rumored to affect the forearm, maybe they shouldn't be thrown so often? 

I think wangin makes a small point here. The Angels have been much more successful than the Clippers have been but we (the Angels) have played second fiddle to the Dodgers just like the Clippers have played second fiddle to the Lakers only we've had the second seat much longer!

Tried some of that back in the 60's..at least I think I did.

Not quite the Clippers, thanks to the 2000s, but not far off either

I think it's likely that Ohtani doesn't pitch again this year..hope I'm wrong.

The first professional baseball game I attended was 1957 at Wrigley Field L.A. to watch the PCL Angels play..I was 5. Saw Steve Bilko hit one out that day. If I remember right he hit 57 home runs that year which was the last for the PCL Angels. When baseball expanded in 61 it was just natural for me to become an Angel fan. I never had an affinity for the Dodgers because they were from Brooklyn and f New York I'm a SoCal native.
It ain't been easy and it's getting worse.
So now I believe it's time for the Angel organization to step up and prove to the fans that support this team that they really are in it. No more AAA replacements and over the hill blowout patches like the last several years. Two years ago when our pitchers started going down one after another help never arrived and at the beginning of this year with so many question-marks in the rotation due to players coming off of serious injuries the Angels stood pat and didn't pursue any fa pitchers.
I'm waiting for the Angels to start showing respect for the fans that have supported this franchise for decades that they really care about putting a quality product on the field. No more bs replacements like Matt Joyce etc. This team has major holes at several positions and the starting rotation has absorbed yet another blow..So what are you going to do Angels?
YMMV
