Just a horrible and excruciating loss (I really wish that I didn't care about the Angels any more). A lot of breaks went against us tonight; Iglesias was probably the victim of some bad luck but he still just needs to be way better (his stuff just looks pretty weak). And quite a shame that Heaney's gem of a game was wasted (I would have left him in to finish the 7th). All signs point to another year of mediocrity. Yeah, getting some guys back from injury will help but we don't have any one we can count on in the bullpen and we have a ton of weak links in our hitting lineup and our reserves are all guys who belong in the minors.

Hola everyone! Lifetime diehard Angels fan; this is my first foray onto an Angels forum; glad to have found the site. Grew up in Westminster/Garden Grove area; my dad took me to an Angels playoff game in 81 (when I was 14). Have suffered through a lot of bad Angels teams over the years but I was there at the Big A (it will always be the Big A to me) for game 7 in 2002 and will never forget that glorious day (I probably had the worst seat in the house but just glad I was there). At one point a few years ago, I was a half-season ticket holder (went to 40 games) but the past few years, I've been going to about 15-20 games per year (hope to get to the stadium soon; it's been too long!). I'm also a Rams season-ticket holder and a big-time UCLA fan. But Angels are probably my #1 sports team. I look forward to discussing Angels baseball with all of you!
