AvsBroncosAngels05

Let it out man I'm right there with you. I used to wear my Angels gear proudly and now I never do. I've become embarrassed to be a fan of this team. I've found one thing that has helped though is I unfollowed all the non Angels related baseball pages on FB and Twitter I was following and that has reduced my agitation a lot. I think the constant ridiculing and mocking from dickbags like Ben Verlander and Jared Carrabis as well as mocking comments from fans of other teams really was a huge source of venom for me. I don't need to hear for the 50 millionth fucking time they're wasting Trout and Ohtani. I already know. Removing that and being on this board, aka therapy group, has been good to get through shitty season after shitty season. From 2016 on it just feels like one big pile of shit and all seasons have just been the fucking same.

Amen. I was just hoping they would pick the kid up over the next 5 at bats and not have the loss on this shoulders. Disappointing.

I know the Reds are a good up and coming team but my comment was an indictment on the rest of the team more than Schanuel being a rookie. If the Dodgers had a rookie 1B make an error in the 5th that cost them 3 runs they would have scored 5 the next half inning and would have won. The rest of the team just mailed it in after that error imo. Or I guess they just suck which is likely too. Pitiful.

Haha so the rookie makes an error that cost them 3 runs and then the mostly veteran team just sits down and wilts the rest of the game and doesn't pick the kid up. What a team.

So nice a game like this gets to be decided by a little league wiffle ball rule. I really wish they could at least compromise and play 2 or 3 innings of real baseball before going to this.

Now Neto just needs to get back so we can DFA Velasquez haha

Good thing the Reid Detmers Topps Living card came in the mail this week!

I give Nevin a lot of credit for letting Detmers have a shot at it. I don't even care about the standings anymore as that's over but I want a shutdown from the bullpen here so the poor kid can get a win.

Hats off to Nevin on this.

I want to see C.J. Sandoval get jettisoned but I just know he'll go somewhere else and be a star. Decisions decisions....

Begging Angels fans to stay away from the Big A the rest of the goddamn year. These guys have quit so it's time for the fans to quit going. Make them play in front of a parking garage the rest of the year. I would assume everyone is used to staying away from the Big A in August and September so probably won't be a problem.

Somewhere Joe Blanton is going "at least I didn't give up 2 HR's to Singleton in a game" (chugs beer on the couch)

A pot smoking 31 year old minor hitting under .100 at that. Way to go Detmers for stepping up 2 big starts in a row buddy!

If they somehow go 4 of 6 on this Houston/Texas roadtrip I may torment myself again into thinking they still have a chance.

I was thinking of Chuck Knoblauch as well.

That play for the Angels just seems cursed. I seem to remember Walsh uncorking a few of those earlier this year too before he got sent down.

Never said that the injuries were Nevin's fault. Just that I could see Nevin going first before Perry in Arte's world.

Agreed I think if Arte fires him it will be an enormous mistake. Fingers crossed he stays. I would think Nevin would get axed before the chopping block gets to him. Before Eppler got fired Ausmus and Doug White both got canned in a huge statement by Arte. I'm hoping between that and the injuries Perry stays.

I really am hoping he doesn't get fired. IMO this failure is on the players on the field. Hoping he sticks around.

Well they responded the next 3 games exactly how everyone expected they would after Thursday night. This team was full of soft players that weren't up for the challenge and they folded like a house of cards. I don't live in CA so I'm cancelling my Extra Innings right now. No need to pay $35 the next 2 months to watch them play spoiler. No thanks. See you all in spring of 2024.

God I hate this douchebag. So much.

It's already there. I'll just let it wash. Was it a dumb comment I made in the heat of the moment realizing yet another September will be meaningless? Sure. I'll acknowledge that a blown save on August 3rd is not quite at the level of 1 out away from a World Series. If anyone wants to come at me over it then ok. But likely I will turn on the page on this season anyway after tonight. They're done. I do appreciate all of you on this board though. After looking through FB group one after another I'm happy I found this board. I may not be the most frequent poster but I feel this board is full of the most passionate and knowledgeable Angels fans around. Plus I like how a lot of fans tell it like it is and none of those "you're not a true fan" types. If this is indeed the end while we play out the string (and I think it is) it was a pleasure being on here for 2023. But I can't see any other scenario than them losing 3 of 4 or getting swept this series. It will be over then and then on to an ugly 2024 without Ohtani. Goodnight all.

Yeah I know tomorrow morning this will be stupid once I cool off.

Estevez is the new Donnie Moore in Angels history.

Estevez with just a flat out choke. Came out and walked the first 2 guys which we knew he wouldn't survive. I shouldn't be surprised but I am so fucking pissed off right now.
