Welcome Burnett

This team can't do ANYTHING right.

Where's the Vent Thread?

Marine layer only affects Angel hitters.

There goes the big inning for the A's. Angels are now going to make a statement.

Here comes the big inning for the A's.

I guess this replaces the old Vent Thread. Was hoping it wouldn't be needed this year because I hate to be negative all the time (really, Stradling!), but this team offers no alternative. Saddest of all, it looks like it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better. Worse for me personally, is I'm an Angel's fan in the bay area. Giants and A's fans are just making my life miserable.

So yes, Chuck, please keep this thread alive for those of us who need an outlet to howl at the moon with.

Sincerely,

Looks like the A's fans now outnumber Angels fans at the ballpark.

Welcome back WayBackMan

So many things to rant about. So Little time.

The laughing stock of Major League Baseball. What an embarrassment.

Lowe, as in bottom feeder.

Can Blanton pitch a scoreless inning?

Time for the Angels to just roll over and die. If it weren't for those two gift runs, we wouldn't even have had the temporary lead. Scioscia is being out-managed once again by the bargain basement manager. Our players must be completely demoralized.

Just like 2012. Every bullpen decision Scioscia makes is the wrong one

The rumors of a new- improved bullpen are premature.

ABD. Anyone but Downs.

Surprise!

I'm not sure we can beat Houston. They are up 9-0 on Seattle.

Amazing what happens when you swing at a pitch down the middle.

Texas gave us the old rope-a-dope when they let us take Hamilton and CJ.

This team is going nowhere with this rotation.

I guess the meltdown inning came right away.

Hope Wilson avoids the meltdown inning.

I agree that keeping Torii and not going after Hamilton would have been preferable. It would have allowed us to go after some better pitchers, should they become available. Hamilton is a gifted player, bur very inconsistent (streaky).

Too bad we open up against the Athletics. They always give us a hard time, and have a better manager.
