Writing off the Angels Yet?

Well the Angels are Five Games out of the First Place Texas Rangers who keep playing well. And the Angels have probably there biggest two week schedule of the season.

 

The series at Yankee Stadium and Arlington, the Angels need to play there best ball of the year if they want to stay in this race. The Angels have had rough times at the New Yankee Stadium and in Texas going a combined 1-4 there so far this season.And had have troubles in the past. The Angels played way better at the old Yankee Stadium until the Yankees went on there little Shopping Spree in the winter if 08 and 09 and got a new stadium also. And the Angels have had there struggles off and on at Texas. 

 

Then we come home for the Sox who dominated us at Fenway in early May but right now they have half there players on the DL, so the Rangers took care of business at Fenway and we need to take care of business at the Big A when they come to town next week. Then another huge series vs Texas but at home this time when we took two of three.

 

Now if we play like garbage in these two weeks then we will have to look towards this offseason.

 

I think it's to early to say Texas will win the Division. Its July 20th and were only 5 games back. I've seen a few ESPN analysts say Texas have pretty much won that Division with the trade of Cliff Lee. Yes it does improve there staff big time. But remember in 2004. Oakland had a great pitching staff. Barry Zito, Dan Haren, Tim Hudson, and also Mark Mulder, and the Angels  went into Oakland for the final series of the season and won the division by one game. The Rangers do have a young staff (not including Cliff Lee). Wilson has had a solid year in his first year as a starter. Tommy Hunter has been outstanding since being called up in June, Scott Feldman has been awful for Texas after having an 18 win season last year.

 

It is possible though to come back in this division.

 

But you don't hear ESPN saying Boston wont make the playoffs, even though they have half of guys on the DL. Also you don't hear them saying the Phillies season is over and they continue to struggle also. Lost three of four from the Cubs and just lost to the Cardinals last night.

 

Anyway now the Angels need to acquire a big bat, like an Adam Dunn or Fielder or also maybe an Adam LaRoche. Fielder is doubtful though because a huge contract, the Brewers would want alot for him and also his agent is Scott Boras. The reason I think we need a big bat the most is because the Rangers acquired Cliff Lee. Two weeks ago our biggest need was a reliever and that still is but our bats really have been quiet but they did show life vs the Mariners still we can't go on one of these hot and cold times. We need to play consistent.

 

A Starting Pitcher would be nice also with the struggles of Kazmir who's ERA is at 6.92. Finally he's on the DL maybe a few weeks rest and a week in the minors will help him. Dan Haren has been in rumors of lately but I would not do that deal. His ERA is 4.60 and he has a big contract as well. So Ted Lilly or Jake Westbrook would be good fits as Starting Pitchers. 

 

So the Angels need to get through these two weeks without getting that hurt. If they go in and get swept by the Yankees and lose 3 of 4 then lets look forward to Free Agency and signing Carl Crawford. A huge fan of him a terrific leadoff hitter and can hit for some power. The Angels will be pursuing him this offseason and Torii will be doing some recruiting he said.

 

So just cross your fingers and hope we can still be in this race by the end of July

Here's a nitpick

“But remember in 2004. Oakland had a great pitching staff. Barry Zito, Dan Haren, Tim Hudson, and also Mark Mulder, and the Angels went into Oakland for the final series of the season and won the division by one game.”

Oakland never had all those guys at the same time. Because Mulder was traded for Haren.

I think we're all feeling testy because there hasn't been a new Halowood post in almost a week

I was going to post something snarky, but then you went ahead and made me feel guilty.

You gotta admit that her post was pretty funny. I also liked the part in her poster’s info where she references the “hard times”, she experienced as a Halo fan.

Contrast this with 1995 before she was born, when Al Gore was still inventing the internet and HH was nothing more than a glimmer in Rev’s eye. You would have had a spirited discussion on whether the team was cursed. No more.

Granted, we should probably not be making fun of her. It’s just not sporting, but at the same time, what would we say, after she tells her fellow freshman composition classmates about the cool people on HH, and then tells them that they should all post here?

If you’re going to reach for the dramatic exit line, make it one which makes sense.

Also, if you want to redeem yourself with a do-over, write us a suggestion of an Angels lineup you think would win games. There is not a man, woman or child alive who doesn’t love a good lineup suggestion post.

I could be wrong but isn’t the phrase: Writing off, not Riding off?

Things certainly aren’t looking good for this year, but it definitely could be worse considering we’ve been plagued with injuries, which I know is nothing new, but we definitely lost a large amount of depth with the departures of Figgy, S. Rod, GMJ, etc.

I think the worst part is we didn’t really have a bright spot emerge, and none of our young guy are having particularly stellar seasons. The top of our lineup really needs to be retooled, in that howie and aybar make excellent bottom of the lineup guys, but just don’t cut it at the top. While having Rivera and Matsui in the middle of our order is less than inspiring.

And even though it would be great to win the AL west, I really don’t think we have a chance in hell of winning the ws this team is nothing like 2002. I would just be happy if we had Jepsen or somebody in our bullpen or rotation emerge into a clutch player. I’m done hoping Kazmir will regain his form, I want S. Rod back

no need to be a dick. if we didn’t lose figgy, we would have to deal with wood. And as far as GMJ goes, if any of our OF’s go down, enjoy ur lineup with Willits, Matsui, Rivera in the middle of your order. Gmj did a pretty good job us, not saying he earned his mammoth contract, but he defintely did well enough. He and Aybar lead us to several sweeps last year when we were far less than 70%

have you looked at figgy's stats lately?

or any of the years GMJ played with us? each time i saw GMJ out there was a reminder of what a bad move that was. i’d much rather see reggie out there. Wood is an obvious disappointment, but Franny has done well picking up some of the slack. we could use some help, but pretending like GMJ = depth is a pretty far leap to make.

by daze on Jul 21, 2010 10:09 AM PDT up reply actions  

hhaha no I’m aware figgy’s career has taken a turn for the worse. I don’t know if it is just an extension of his horrific post-season with us, or just as matter or a poor change of environment. While I don’t miss his bat, I definitely miss his speed on the bases, and that arm at third. It’s sad that I am no longer even surprised when woody throws in the dirt now.

I’m not much of a stats person, but I just remember when the Angles went through a dominating stretch while we had everyone injured yet still managed to win. GMJ may not have been the primary reason for our winning, but for me personally its a lot more psychologically soothing seeing GMJ in the lineup card than Q…..

O well, im willing to agree to disagree. There is something very off about this year however. But you are right, Franny has been really one of the few bright spots this year.

I watched that last Phillies/Cubs game. That game watching the Phillies Clown defense was hilariously funny, and they were in the WS last year? Hard to believe.

I hate the New York Yankees

14 years old with common sense

Remember that when you read about you’re grammar mistakes, you’ve made as much sense, if not more, than some of the posts from the people correcting you. Seriously, go to their profile pages and read, half have actually ever posted anything, and fewer still with any real good baseball input. Keep writing, learn from your few grammatical errors, but focus enjoying the summer and the game. That’s something others could focus on, the game, not their need to correct everything. Well at least in cyberspace they reign supreme, newbies at a local sports bar not so much. Good start, keep it going.

subtract ten

If you were to get rid of the eight to ten people, who comment at least three times each with the basically the same comments, usually trying to one up the other, you’ll find a few people that understood the post perfectly. They didn’t feel the need to say so over and over. I know i’m wrong, so no need for remarks, I’ll leave this place to the ten to fifteen or so people who are so full of themselves they feel the need to continually berate someone. At the same time staying in-line with the pack,boring. A fourteen year old girl should be a little dramatic, i don’t know what the excuse is for the rest of you. I have more fun leaving pro Angel comments on the Rangers site anyways.
                              cya, darn it, a spelling error amongst all the others problems.I hear someone typing now “My eyes, the spelling, punctuation, i just couldn’t read anymore.” Now that’s drama on a sports blog.

I've read your post 5 or 6 times now

Maybe you should lay off the pills. Just a suggestion.

cath619,is that area code or the number yahoo gave you, very original.

When you’re actually the first person to respond to anything,and actually put yourself out there, i’ll consider what you say. What was so great about you’re two posts about a year ago. Other than i didn’t need to think about taking Ambien. Anyways all but one or two of the people i expected to respond did. Maybe, i had a point there. The main response,relax, something about taking one’s own advice comes to mind. How about one comment and leave it at that. Instead of disrespecting someone’s opinion with a couple from each of you. I’m sorry, a picture of Kelsey Grammer, we have a winner for most original.
   Don’t respond, because i don’t want to feel the need to again.Next time i might a little deeper thought into it. Tissues,you can say that behind a screen. Please, i’ve written maybe five things,while reading ten times that much from each of you. With all that practice you think it would be better. Stick with your little group so you can continue thinking that it actually is. I know relax, too bad my points aren’t that far off. Long live the Punctuators.lol
