I bring the quality.

Whatever are we going to do when Langston comes back and Mota is primarily on the Spanish speaking side of the broadcast?

Cherish Angels Live as much as we can.

What OregonLAA said.

 

I've always been a praise and vent guy myself, and I can see how seeing nothing but 100% vent or 100% pollyanna could get on people's nerves eventually.

 

Life is, after all, about balance.

I think the perception about me being negative is because when something regarding the Angels is pissing me off I go on here (I'm sure others too).  I'm generally overdramatic to be funny.  If I'm happy with what's going on during a game I'm high fiving a friend or smiling/fist pumping, I do post positive stuff here too but it's usually not as witty as my negative/sarcastic stuff.

If people here think I'm totally negative you should see my when I talk the Angels with my stepdad.  A lot of the time he says that I'm 'drinking the Angels kool aid" and sees me as an eternal optimist lol.

Vent threads are more fun than gameday threads. We could be up 7-3 and the vent thread will be bigger than the GDT. 

Last year when they were split I recall the vent threads generally having 8-20 pages and the Gameday threads have 2-4, lol.

Get back on topic people...

 

 

Blanton throws alot of strikes, but unfortunately he doesn't miss many bats.

He definitely challenged a lot of guys with strikes right down the middle today.

What key word do you need to stop playing this taking no responsibility game?

The soothing sound of Jose Mota's voice on the postgame show just did it for me.

Scioscia was a moron for not intentionally walking Votto yesterday but he was right to bunt Trout over.

125 mill for a human windmill?

Dino Ebel doesn't make that much.

p00p

Come on Josh give us another 13 inning marathon (with us winning)

Good bunt.

Don't be so dense. Let. It. Go. 

I have, I don't care.  It's.  The.  Internet.  But when I got booted I came in here to make a few final points.

Simple answer. Start a vent thread.

I think me being singled out for being upset when things don't go the Angels way in the chat is inaccurate.

You obviously missed my point and Chuck's point and everyone's point. We don't want you flogging us with your I hate Blanton stats while the game is going. We don't want some bitter guy gripping about his one irritiation of the day in an unrelenting manner even after being asked to stop, warnied and booted to get the point across. It is not enjoyable for any of us to being force fed saltwater when we are thirsty for a win.

If Chuck had said agree to disagree in the chat or something along those lines about Blanton, I would have stopped.

Blanton in Cincinnati's BandBox = issues.

 

Blanton at home…much better.

I hope so.  I'm just not impressed with what I've seen and his numbers in recent years don't excite me.

We were not getting that celebratory mood from you at all. No matter what was going on in the game you stayed the Rainman course. You wa nt to have a discussion about a player, quote stats, bring up past events then make a thread. You want to join in a chat then make it that, not some grudge match.

When we did well on opening day I was PUMPED.  Right now with this rally if we get the big hit, I will be PUMPED!  When Joe Blanton is allowing 3 home runs, I'm not happy.

It's not some grudge thing, we're talking baseball.  One of the last things I put in chat before being banned was Blanton's ERA the last 3 seasons.

Therein lies the problem. Some fans just always know best. It's amazing you aren't working for MLB.

I hope Chuck's right and Blanton is great.  Hell before Wells was traded I hoped he'd bounce back this year for us.

No the chat is not for venting. It is for having a good time. You are not a good time in chat

It's not just for venting, my point is when we're not doing well/something bad has happened it's a place to vent.  When we do well, like the awesome opening day win, it's a place to celebrate.

You have a PM. Oh and I did back it up on the old forum.

 

I don't mind venting & critiquing the team, the plays, management etc. What I have a problem with is when you're only here as an opportunist to point out every mistake, stat or negative thing that happens.

 

Mix in a little optimism and cheer once in a while or I will angelduck you from this community. 

I don't care about threats.  I like this place and respect what you've done with it but there's other places to discuss the Angels online.  I've been very optimistic when the team is looking good.  Loved the Hamilton signing, was in favor of the Hanson trade, while I was nervous about Morales for Vargas I didn't have a problem with it.  Blanton is pitching today and I didn't like that signing, so I was discussing who I think would have been better (or could be better, like Richards) in the rotation for better value.  Also were you in there in the opening day chat when I said I was dancing when the Angels won?  When the team does well and wins I'm happy, when they're losing I'm not.

Maybe chuck thinks its his first start of the season after a good spring training against a good lineup...and that your constant whining is just plain tiresome, but I could be wrong about that; it could be entirely different reasons.

The chat is FOR VENTING, especially when the team is losing.  If you think I'm the only one venting in there you're nuts.

Blanton is a veteran and I don't get how anybody could expect him to be a mid 3 ERA guy at this point.  For a 5 type starter I'd have at least gone for a guy with low 4's ERA last few seasons.

Why not stop being Rainman in the chatroom and spamming your hate for Blanton?

Hate?  I was trying to get Chuck to show me some numbers supporting his view on Blanton being a good signing.  I was bringing up guys I'd have preferred to sign when he banned me/trolled me.

I got banned from the chatroom BTW for trying to have a debate about Joe Blanton's pitching abilities.  I thought the reason sites like this existed was for debates/discussion about the Angels.

Blanton is terrible, and his ERA from the last few seasons indicates to me that we're in for a lot of outings like this.

Hey Chuck how about backing up why you love Blanton so much rather than deleting my posts/banning me from chat.
