Overtime?

Which horrible northwest team are you following now? There is not one single team that is worth a good God-damn in the world of sports.

Homeplate umpiring has been ridiculous

both ways…no way you should have this many walks in a major league game! Inconsistent on the low end of the zone and absolutely nothing above the belt! Must have forgotten his contact lenses! Paul Schrieber to be exact…horrible!

Whodathunk we would be rooting for a former Ranger come August...?

That’s probably a good 20 years or so into the future, but in moments like ejections, etc., and seeing someone else “manage” the team for a bit makes me think of these things!

by Fan Since 1981 on Aug 27, 2008 10:00 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Chone Figgins was scratched from Wednesday’s lineup with a sore left big toe.
Officially diagnosed as an “irritation” according to a team spokesman, Figgins was examined by Dr. Ronald Glousman at the Kerlan-Jobe Clinic, where X-rays proved normal.

The Angels third baseman sustained the injury during a rundown in Tuesday’s 5-1 win over the Athletics and is listed as day-to-day.

“It is tough for him to push off, so if Figgy can’t run there is a big part out of what he can bring,” manager Mike Scioscia said. “So we need him to get to a level to where he can do some of the things he needs to do out on the field. We’re going to give him today and see if it doesn’t respond to the level that we anticipate.”

Mike Scioscia: He provides to unlike method of your team member.

by howiestheman on Aug 27, 2008 10:26 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Chone Figgins was scratched from Wednesday’s lineup with a sore left big toe.
Officially diagnosed as an “irritation” according to a team spokesman, Figgins was examined by Dr. Ronald Glousman at the Kerlan-Jobe Clinic, where X-rays proved normal.

The Angels third baseman sustained the injury during a rundown in Tuesday’s 5-1 win over the Athletics and is listed as day-to-day.

“It is tough for him to push off, so if Figgy can’t run there is a big part out of what he can bring,” manager Mike Scioscia said. “So we need him to get to a level to where he can do some of the things he needs to do out on the field. We’re going to give him today and see if it doesn’t respond to the level that we anticipate.”

We NEED home field advantage with the way other teams play on the road

we’ve looked GODAWFUL for more than 2 weeks now, our first-half ace is getting shelled, our players are dropping like flies…it’s insane how far we’ve gone in two weeks. And, among other things, we’ve lost our 100 win pace significantly (more trivial than the other things, but still annoying since the pace went from 104 to 97 games in TWELVE DAYS).

by Caseys Kiss of Death on Aug 27, 2008 10:52 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Or you can just allow us to act as frustrated and upset as we have been

since, you know, it’s fairly well warranted at this point. No one here is concerned about the division. No one has been for a while. But the team is listless as fuck, and we’re acting accordingly. What’s not to get?

by Caseys Kiss of Death on Aug 27, 2008 11:51 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

What's not to get is that it's two bad weeks in August

and we’re still only a half game back of the league lead in wins. Further, it’s not exactly like we’ve been getting dominated:

10-7, 3-2 ,4-3, 6-4, 4-2, 2-1, 9-0, 2-1, 6-5. These are the scores of our losses in that time. With one exception, they were close games that we had a chance at winning.

Personally, I take heart from the fact that even with us scuffling as badly as we have been, we’re still only losing squeakers. If we were losing by 3-4 runs every game, or getting blown out constantly, then yeah, we might be in trouble. But we aren’t. Instead, even during one of our lowest ebbs this season, other teams can only BARELY beat us.

Personally, I welcome the injuries now. Let us find out who’s tired and weary and breaking down, and if necessary, we can damn well shut them down for the first two weeks of September and let the AAA guys play. It’s way better than having everything collapse on us with a week to go like last year.

I want home field advantage as badly as anybody (in fact I’m pretty sure I pointed out the incentive of playing for HFA to you two days ago) but health takes priority. It has been health, more than anything else these past three playoff gambits, that has killed us.

Lemme break it down

Team plays well: we all are happy.
Team plays poorly: we are not, and act accordingly, especially with important factors (health AND home field on the line)

That’s all that’s going on. I’m not saying the sky is falling (and I’ve told the “1995ers” to shut up plenty). I just don’t know how else you want someone to act when their team plays poorly. That simple.
