Wrigley is a nostalgic old stadium. A lot like Fenway Park. You should know what to expect when you go there. I've been to almost every stadium in MLB, and of all the "old" stadiums, Wrigley was the best. I actually liked walking around Wrigleyville and hitting the pubs in the area. For the record, Angel Stadium is an "old" stadium also. While it has it's charm, it's pretty old also when compared to Petco, PNC Park, Oracle Park in San Francisco and those stadiums are pretty fun. I would have suggested taking the train in to Wrigley and avoiding the traffic.

I agree with most of this. I appreciate what he’s done so far this year. He’s easily been the most clutch hitter so far, and along with LaStella has been a pleasant surprise. He doesn’t have “great” defensive abilities, he has good defensive abilities and his arm is adequate. But the body of your post is correct. He’s been a great surprise and I hope he can keep it up for 162 games.

Second. 2-5 against them this year

Ty Buttrey came to play tonight. Straight gas with no wasted pitches. Kind of like Cam does. Except not

Whatever it is, I hope there is a defribillator close by. That dude/girl is a heart attack waiting to happen

Add Calhoun to the list of guys who have had a really crappy night at the plate

I love how Buttrey goes right after the hitters. He doesn't mess around. I love that mentality.

Brad Ausmus's message to Bob Melvin by pitching Cody Allen in a tie game.

Step out to take a leak, and it's 4-4. Remember in the 2nd inning when Albert popped up to 3rd with the bases loaded?

Absolutely. Or New York. Or Boston

That.....and because our entire offense tonight is David Fletcher and Tommy LaStella. Drink that in

The Angel offense doesn't leave the pitching staff much wiggle room very often.

What a stupid challenge. I hope that comes back to bite Melvin and the A's

But do the A's announcers give you the "Hyundai Key to the Game?" Journey's Keeping it Right, like Gubie does? Come on Lou. That shit is legit

Or our beloved pitching coach might.

Lucroy's dogshit framing of pitches has cost Tropeano a couple strikes so far in this game.

He might now

Good Lord....at this rate Tropeano may pitch 2 innings tonight. He better start pitching ahead or his 91 mph fastball is going to get crushed tonight

Albert had a chance to really blow this game wide open, but of course...... I'm going to remember that AB later in the game.

This is a great response by the Angels after Cam served one up in the first

Fletch is nails with 2 strikes

Gas Cam

At least Cam didn’t cost anyone a win tonight. Except maybe himself

The last two games I’ve driven home mentally and physically exhausted. This team is tough on the heart and mind

The bullpen is trying for the trifecta in blown save opportunities
