IT'S GAME DAY !
 
we've been waiting for this for a few years now. 

He's just being honest.  Not sure how involved his family is in the team.  That could make a huge difference down the line.

"All I ask is for your forgiveness and your understanding. I also ask that you respect our privacy as we go on with our lives. This matter is certainly personal and we are trying hard to put it behind us"
 
 
OK, I get this is a personal matter...then why not keep it personal.  Does the public need to know anything beyond that he left the team for family reasons? Why a press conference to basically just raise more speculation?

It was great to see for the HUGE role Rasmus could play in the playoffs.  If only 4 great innings could become 5 great innings...

Less cowbell, more light flash.

Cause this team keeps showing people they have it...
 
Talk about rising to the occasion on a bleak day.   F people who don't appreciate this team.

I remember getting disgusted every time Steve Finley used to come up to bat and they played his walk up song: Sledge Hammer.  Um, not exactly.

This board complained a lot about Krod. I wish we still had him. He had some crazy saves, but he delivered. We need a new closer. Nats celebrating like they won a playoff series. Angels need to step on throats to be a contender.

You mean like last year?

You mean like last year?

How DARE Arte spend $$$ to try to improve the team.  Not everything always works as planned but that works both ways. NO ONE knows what is going to happen.  That is why the games are played.
 
Of course I do realize what the original poster was trying to do but there really are people who only go with the sure winner to pump themselves up.

I would really like to see what Don Baylor can do with Trumbo. I am not ready to give up a guy that hits 30+ homeruns and drives in 100+. Especially since we don't know how well Pujols will come back, both as a hitter and a First Baseman, and Hamilton is a coin flip as well.
 
I have to believe his prolonged slumps are more mental than physical and hopefully Baylor will help.

Can't we just savor this performance and win?  It's not like we have had much opportunity this season.  There is always tomorrow for those who thrive on the negativity.  Great night Trumbo!!!

So now it is time to blame the poor season on Trumbo.  I guess blaming it on Puljos and Hamilton has already been exhausted so it is his turn.  Who's next? Yep, he is struggling horribly right now (as Hamilton has) but the poor season still comes down to the pitching not being there this year. Replacing 3 starting pitchers and rebuilding a bullpen is a huge task and gamble. Obviously it didn't work out.  Yeah, let's just get rid of our power production...that is the answer.

Is there an equivalent article about the Dodgers?

Did we all really expect to win last night. The angels have been playing some pretty good ball and we lose a game in which we had a guy making his first career start and all of a sudden the sky is falling again? I understand that every game counts and that this start can come back to haunt us like last year however it is still early! It's funny that we can sweep the Tigers and then lose a game to the Rangers and we lose hope on this team. We are not a juggernaut but this team is very solid and has as good a chance of going all the way as any other team in the league. Once we get back to full strength we're gonna start rollin' and I'm sure most of you on here will still find something to complain about.

Did not mind Roger Lodge so much however I just like Travis Rogers much better. I would say my evenings with Lodge will be o.k.
