The opening day game is in the books.

It is now officially OK to be negative.

Back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Amazing play by Neto.

You channeled Lou there @Taylorby “top of the paging” me.

That’s a great play by Neto.

Arte blew up the satellite feed

It's not untrue, obviously.  People tend to get upset when you say such things, though. 

Oh I totally get it.  I just thought it was an odd, off the cuff, remark.  I actually thought it was funny.

Looks like Wayne Randazzo is about to get a sexual harrassment complaint for his insinuation that the Angels have a bunch of babies in the crib and that it's Erica Weston's duty to be their nursery maid. 

I swear @Second Basei told my wife the same thing.  He walked it back a bit, and Erica played it off well, but damn…he was teetering.

Great play by Rendon to end the inning.  I give credit when earned.

Except Rendon would do the same kind of thing in the 8th inning. 

I doubt that @Taylor

Why was the infield in?

Runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs.  Gotta cut the run down.

There isn’t a lot of confidence in the Halo offense with Burned on the mound aside from Trout.

Just now, Stradling said:

That wasn’t a mental error, you have to try to avoid the big inning. Drury made an awful throw to first. 

Absolutely.  It’s the first inning and that was a routine double play.  Play for two outs in the first inning.  Dogshit turn by Drury.

Burnes is getting the calls and Sandoval is not

Burned established the strike zone.

Sandoval hasn’t.  Not going to get the benefit of calls like that

A 2 out, 2 strike RBI.  Son of a bitch.

Aaron Hicks has a bazooka for an arm.

Damn….

Just now, Taylor said:

Wayne and Gubi were both so nonchalant about it until it finally flew over the fence.

It was almost like they were watching it on TV from Angels Stadium, like another crew that works for the Angels

Mike Trout with a bomb.

Wayne Randazzo called it like it was a routine fly out to left.  He was a little surprised 

The march to 162-0 starts today for the Angels.

As much as the Taylor Ward comeback story is awesome, he is not a clean up hitter.  I still think he’s trying to regain full confidence just standing in the box, let alone hitting clean up.

But that’s why Ron makes the “kind of” big bucks.

I miss @Lou.

This is a very weird topic.  Honestly, it’s never crossed my mind.

Nor did the question of Sandoval getting the nod to start today.

There is so much more to be concerned about.

PattyD is a dude, so it is a little uncomfortable reading his posts and not think, isn't Patty a girls name? Whatever, get happy.

I am a dude, through and through, and it’s an Irish nickname given through work.

And I am always happy.  I’m retired.  Like @Angel Oracle

Can we just have fun? I'm not telling people how to "fan" or whatever, but constant negativity is getting quite old and tired. Yes, Arte sucks and needs to sell the team. But how about we just enjoy some Angels baseball? I see probably more negativity on social media than I do here. However, it's just growing tiresome. 

Dude, I appreciate your fandom.  I have it.  We all have it.  This board has it.  It’s a message board.  I read a lot of your posts and you are a good poster.

We’ve been through a lot as Angels fans and yes, negativity seeps through.  But honestly, there are some amazing posters on this site that know what they are talking about.  Let’s let the season start before we start feasting on each other.

Wouldn't surprise me if the game starts a little late. Thunderstorms are moving in. 

I bet it does.
