Bandwagon Rumbles as Angels Lose 3rd Straight

Final Score in Tomorrowland: Tigers 5, Angels 3
Everybody was awarding Mike Scioscia manager of the year and rationalizing Ervin Santana in the Post-Season bullpen but a week ago, now suddenly with starting pitching as shaky as it has been all season, with the singles-slapping offense not bunching them together, and with no rest for weeks, who should begin abandoning the Angels faster than the pop from their bats and the movement from their fastballs?
Their fans, who emptied out of the Big A at 9:30 in a tight game that ended up lasting until almost 10:30. Yes, the high-expectation, front-running beachcombers of October 2002 are not getting any wins in three days and are whinier than a Shaker chaparone at Prom. Of course, the local press offers pouting editorials by LA TIMES blogger Steve Bisheff lamenting no superstar trade, calls last year's all star Joe Saunders "a charade" as he disappears in importance covering a team with the 3rd best record in baseball but no Kobe Bryant let alone even a Roy Halladay. Steve, Why so serious? We didn't get Roy Halladay and then Roy got shelled in two consecutive starts worse than Sean O'Sullivan or Trevor Bell. WAHHHHHHHH!
Then there is OC Register /FreedomBlogging's blogger Mark Whicker trying to pick a fight with Brandon Wood supporters thumping his 44-DD chest (biggest cans in the press box) and asking "Where are you Woood lovers now?" ... and then there is an echo in the blog responses. Of course, Whicker will shut his fat trap about the superiority of Figgy for a few days as he focuses on sniffing some jock he has expertly analyzed as the key to the season, writing a column that will be a series of questions posing as analysis, gutlessly making sure to put nothing on the line.
The world has not ended, the Angels have a four game lead in the West. You professional girls can all abandon ship, this team had the wining run at the plate tonight and the tying run there last night. Go root for the Dodgers, your brand of whine is not in vintage.

came on a diving play by the 3rd baseman. Their defense saved 4 runs easy tonight. Doesn’t make me feel much better though.

If the 3rdbaseman can dive for a ball...
…and still turn the DP, it’s likely he’s not the only player that turns that DP. Plus, it’s no. 14. That’s a ton for a guy that sat out half the season and can’t play the field.

There are a lot of good 3b this year.
I suspect Longoria, Beltre, Lowell/Youkilis, Figgins, Inge all make that play. Still a nice play, but the point is, Vlad runs slow, does not adjust to situations, and hits too many balls predictably to infielders in critical situations. EIGHT LOB. My lord, save the meek. The man was a giant in his prime. But it’s humbling to watch him in his decline. It hurts more because the isolated power is still there to give fans the taste of the chalice, even as the good knight keeps falling off the horse.

Crap on mobile posting!
I want to love the man, but he shaved his predator dreads, and he’s like Samson w/o a column to break. Plus, he nudged Napoli out from under the disco ball, and every time Daddy attempts to get giggles from the kids by busting out the cabbage patch or the catepillar, he just throws out his back.
Plus who can forget how the gang pulled together when VG rode the pine? It was like the Cheers gang at the Emmys. I will not forget you, boys of early summer!

great quote:
Their defense saved 4 runs easy tonight
Granderson made a stellar grab in the 1st and then Thomas with that pick of Kendry’s drive to the wall. I couldn’t help but think that the Tigers deserved that game based on their efforts defensively. Wow.
(tips cap) Good game by the Tigers.

Unacceptable choices
Everyone knows that Lackey should not have been out there to start the 7th. He gives up leadoff triple to start the inning and another to follow. 1 out later the guy that should have been pitching is brought in to retire all 8 batters he faces.
FFS give me the right one to blame. When was there ever rules to who can be thrown under the bus

Mountain left it out there
Bottom line is, this game was there for us to win, and we didn’t get it done. Even in the 9th against Rodney we had a good chance, send Abreu ffs, or double steal. Not aggressive enough in the 9th.

We sent Abreu with the bases loaded...

the heart of our order has been a load of FAIL for the last few games, so hopefully they’ll work on that. Torii should be dropped back to 6th until he really gets his swing going. K-Mo should be batting cleanup, as he’s now the best combination of power/contact that we have on our team.

The rules here allow for optimism...
…and pessimism both in reasonable amounts. Browbeating fans for complaining when the team loses perfectly winnable games is as annoying as fans who whine during winning streaks. The team has lost two straight series, and its two best pitchers have looked highly beatable. If anytime is a right time to bitch, it’s now. The pennant race has begun. If we make it to the playoffs, we face Detroit or Boston. These games matter.

Doesn't offend me.
I’m stoic about losses. But I respect the right of fans to bitch. For example, I read scareduck’s site as much as this, and Rob M. can bitch about the moon rising on a Thursday. He’s a veritable bitch artist.
But among every group of fans, there are those that deal with losses by complaining about those who complain, which is just another species of complaint in the end. And sometimes it feels like a litmus test or purity ball. I’m not saying you crossed that line, but recognize that complaint and misery set a sweet hurdle for fans to vault over when victory returns. Complaint is fucking essential. ( I spend my quota on you tonight as a tribute! )

I would think not, but who knows—I have no TV access these days, so I can’t see when Rex and the Crew are hawking the $3 specials…

Yep, not many cheap seats left for Saturday...
I tried to buy a bundle for my brood … to no avail. Oh well. Those backpacks break after like three uses anyway.
I love this team.

True
Tonight was an exception for those coasters. Same for the 9/8 game for the Argyle-style hat as half-price seats can be had (if available) with the MCSEATS password

Highlight of my night...
When I returned to my car, I found that I had parked next to Steve Physioc! He was at his car when I arrived.

I don’t mind Steve Physioc, so I kept it quite Disney “Keep up the good work” or something like that. He was chatting with some people who looked like they might be relatives, so it wasn’t like I crashed the conversation or anything. Plus, I wanted to get the heck out of the parking lot.

Fair enough
I try to wait out the rush of cars trying to leave the stadium all at once. Seems to work ok if you give it 15-20 minutes

Funny story about that...
My sister has been driving for about 4 years or so, and she still doesn’t like to drive on the freeway. We live in Wilmington. When we left the lot, they directed us out of the stadium and right onto the frickin’ freeway! We ended up driving all the way to Downtown LA! Luckily my sister knew enough about the city to take Figueroa all the way home. Kinda crappy neighborhoods, but it was a Tuesday night, so nothing really happened. Fun story, though.

Now that you mention it....
Even stranger about the timing, I was in downtown L.A. yesterday and there’s lots of good places to eat on Figueroa!

I voted Vlad for leaving 8 men on
but maybe Juan should be moved down in the order for a bit, he’s left 12 men on base the last 2 games, 20 in the last 5 games, and 35 in the last 11 games. Kendry should bat 5th.

How does everybody feel about Saunders coming back today?
You guys think he can hold his own against Jackson?
I’ve lost a good chunk of change from the last 2 games hoping they would at least win 1 against Detroit who had been the third worst road team in the AL.
Now it comes down to today and i’m afraid to pull the trigger to get the $$ from the last 2 because i don’t know what to expect from Saunders. Can anyone give me insight on what to expect today?
Thanks
by Freddyd on Aug 26, 2009 10:27 AM PDT reply actions 0 recs
Broomage. Jackson is a dang good pitcher and Saunders was real shaky last time out and rough edges are expected. I would not be betting against the Tigers today.
I love this team.

I was hoping you wouldn't say that.
I was hoping that the fact that the Angels are the only team in the majors that has yet to have a four-game losing streak this season and have not been swept at home this season would work in my favor but you guys don’t think the bats can get to Jackson eh?

Question
Was Abreu out at the plate? I was at the game last night and didn’t see a good replay. It was hard to tell from the angle they showed.

I have heard that he was from those who watched at home with their DVR’s. But, the Terrace Level boos said otherwise.

I was trying to figure out why in the heck was Clit Thomas in right field for Magglio Ordonez. That was the defensive substitution of the week, due to his grab of Kendry’s ringing drive.
I love this team.
by Downing Rules on Aug 26, 2009 11:06 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah that surprised me
I didn’t remember hearing it get announced, and then all of a sudden the dude is making a leaping grab. Magglio would have never gotten to that.
Scioscia got out-managed this game. He continues to make the bonehead move of starting Quinlan against lefties when Morales needs to be playing every day (for his D and his O). He let Lackey push him into sending him out there against a lefty who had just hit a HR against him when Lackey already had thrown 116 pitches.
Scioscia’s a quality manager and I give him the benefit of the doubt most times. Those were two unequivocably stupid decisions.

I beg to differ. You need to rest Kendry for the final stretch. Going to need a few extra fumes in the tank for the Monday game in NY and then three-game set in Boston starting the next day 9/14 to 9/17 and a critical series in Texas right after that followed by the Yanks in Anaheim. All part of a 21 games in 21 days grueling almost final stretch. No days off during that stretch. Woof.
I love this team.

time to seperate the fans from posers
having been a fan since I was a kid and the L.A Angels were the CA Angels. I am insulted by how moody some of these “fans” are. Sometimes your team loses, it happens! Go back and look at the team back them and compare it to now and you’d appreciate how much better this franchise is as a whole.
