Everybody (including myself) was hoping that winning a series would give us some momentum. Guess what, it was the Astros. Don't be surprised if the A's sweep them

Who's head rolls first, Dipotos's or Bucher's?

Does anyone else have a problem with Angelswin on an iPad? It just doesn't work very well. It executes better than the Angels, but that's not saying much

Why don't the great sluggers of the Angels swing on some of those first pitch meatballs?

Why did we sign Blanton?

Frieri is a one-inning pitcher. Last year he was terrible when they brought him in in the 8th.

Why did he take Burnet out?

You forgot to mention Torii. I would replace Hamilton with Hunter in a minute if we had the choice. Torii brought so much to this team that Hamilton never will. It seems the whole organization has been running on wishful thinking instead of good baseball sense. Low-balling Trout on the cheap bonus didn't help. Who's in charge. I know Arte pays the bills, but who has the final word. It's time to say the emperor has no clothes. Maybe it's being said on the field.

If Mike had any cojones, he'd bench Hamilton for at least a game for that. It sure wouldnt hurt our offense.

I'm sure giving Trout that $20,000 bonus after his phenomenal year really helped motivate him.

If Houston is terrible, what are we?

Could this team care less?

I'm watching the game in Nor Cal and hearing the A's broadcasters. Can't believe how they're making excuses for the Angels. It's almost like they feel sorry for us. How pathetic is that?

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?
