This response on a thread about Alex Curry and if she’s hot or not? I’ll heed your advice Glen

I know this isn’t a “World Cup” thread but Megan Rapinoe can kiss my ass. Yes she had 2 goals, but her refusal to put her hand over her heart and respect our National Anthem while playing for the US National team is BS. i bring this up because The beautiful Alex Curry just interviewed her.

Is it me or does this pitcher look like a Rockette when he pitches?

I hear ya brother

Pujols?

It depends. Day game the wife and I will often go to The Tilted Kilt after the game to beat the heat. For our regular night games, we often bring Claro’s Italian Deli sandwiches to the game. all washed down with a couple brews. Responsibly.

Kevinb, it’s not an excuse. Of course all teams have tough games. This isn’t college football where you can schedule 11 patsies and 1 tough game and get to the playoffs. its just reality. Of all the potential wild card teams, I believe (and I may be wrong) that the Angels play more teams above .500 than any other team. That’s a tough road compared to the others. I do agree with you that in order the be the best you have to beat the best and the Angels will have to prove that. I didn’t use the upcoming schedule as an excuse, I used it as a data point. Hopefully they will exceed our expectations

I hate to use this term but as Angel fans, it's almost like we have "battered wife syndrome." We seem to think things are going to change when in reality, they probably won't. At least not this year I'm afraid. This team has really over achieved in some aspects in the first half. Tommy LaStella, David Fletcher, Ty Buttrey, and a few other bright spots have happened here and there and helped us a least get in the conversation, but the proof is already there as it relates to the starting pitching. The Angels have done well against teams they should beat but in the 2nd half of this season, the games are going to get significantly tougher, including many against our own division. The Angels will need to get significantly better starting pitching which we already know, but the Angels are going to need to a couple other things better. Right now the Angels are 6-12 in one run games. The Angels need to be way better in close games, like most good teams are. They also need to get more aggressive in base running. For a team that strikes out as little as they do, Ausmus sure doesn't put the runners in motion very often. Most good teams are pretty aggressive on the bases, and the Angels aren't. Lastly the bullpen is going to have to dig deep. We currently are near the top in innings pitched and appearances, and I don't see that changing any time soon. While the last several weeks have been promising in regards to the bullpen, let's face facts. The schedule is going to get significantly more difficult and the pen is going to have to keep this up. Am I confident this will happen? Not particularly. I hope like heck the Angels can sneak in and grab the 2nd spot, I really do. It's going to be a heavy lift against a tough remaining 81 games. I'm hoping but I'm not confident.

Is that what the kids on the street call it now a days?

Bour!!!!!!! Atta boy

Upton with his best Pujols impression by hitting a ground ball to the worst possible place he could. Third baseman

I used to be on the old AOL site years ago and somehow life got in the way of following Angel baseball on the ‘net. For some reason a couple months ago I just happened to come across your site Chuck and it’s been nothing but amazing. I felt I knew quite a bit about the Angels after attending games for so long but I found out I didn’t know squat after reading what the staff and the experienced posters here post. It’s simply amazing and I hope to be able to meet a few of the posters some day at a game or at a future fan fest. Congratulations on 15 years and keep up the great work.

F*ucking autocorrect. What this statement was supposed to say was: I don’t know what food Cincinnati is famous for, but in person, it’s apparent Puig has been eating it. holy smokes is he fat up close

Strad, you can’t. You have to have a special ticket. I have season tickets and they won’t give them to us. My wife actually asked. They said NO

Here is your answer

Those were two extremely hard hit outs. I honestly thought that left fielder was beat on those plays

I don’t know what food Cincinnati is famous for, but in person, it’s apparent aphids been eating it

That’s Matt Harvey home run souvenir territory. As a matter of fact, the Modelo stand is still missing some stucco from that bomb that the dude from the Twins hit

I’ll make sure I’m paying attention at the game tomorrow. Don’t want to get hit with one of those 115 mph, exit velocity missles he gives up.

Larry Parker would still fight for Lou

Now you get it.?

Until Larry Parker gets you $2.1 million dollars!!!

Will Cahill be off the IL to pitch to him?

Strikingly similar, but this coach doesn’t have a bullpen to overwork

Yadier did for his coordination of the Albert Pujols 72 hour blowfest.
