Reverse jinx. 

I see Moniak still stinks when everyone else is seeing a watermelon for the baseball.

You got a lot of catching up to do. 

Just woke up from a nap. 

Just saw Trout’s lead off bomb. LOL

Glad to see Trout L/O - just learned this from another post. 

He did?  Shit.

Lurked for a while and finally decided to join the community. I've been an Angel fan since my dad took me to my first game at Wrigley Field. 

Which Wrigley Field?

… in Santa Claus. 

Is swordsman Troll Daddy?

We might get no hit.

You cannot risk the negative impact to the kiid's confidence by doing that.

I like the use of Kid.

That doesn’t explain why they left in the worst hitter to bat.

You say worst hitter on angels, and several dudes come to mind. Not an easy case.

Kid?  He will be 35 in August.

I’m old. They’re all kids to me. 
call him up - play him. 
if he’s too old to be there bring up a “kid.”

I don’t think so.

This isn’t a new conversation between us. We had it a few years back and at the time the Angels had something like the 6th best winning percent of all time. You then went on to say they are still pathetic because they’ve only been to one World Series. 

I do stand by that given their playoff failures.  They should have at least more appearances. 
 

79,82,86 were choke jobs.  95&96?  Also, The year they lost to the white Sox 2006?

despite the sarcasm of being 700 games below .500, I’m actually surprised they’ve now slipped under that mark officially.

You're quite active tonight TGOBS

First game I’ve been home and had the stomach to watch part of it.  

4967-5030

slipoinf further below the .500 mark.  You’re right @Stradling, not as bad as I thought, but I am actually surprised they are under .500.  
 

that’s pretty bad.

I don’t get what happened in the 9th inning.

Why did Adrianza hit with 2 on, 0 outs?

Wash said he was up there to bunt before Adell stole 3B. But even after that, the winning run is still at 1B. Wouldn’t the point of bunting be to get the tying run into scoring position?

So why’d they take the bunt off? Or why didn’t they have Drury or Thaiss hit for Adrianza?

From what they showed on the broadcast, no clear question was asked about either of the last two questions. And obviously, no answer was given.

I don’t get it.

Got anything on this, @Jeff Fletcher?

Kid gets a hit, he’s a hero. It’s baseball. It didn’t work out last night.

How many years you been a fan?  We know how this ends… for most of the club’s 63 years.
