Joel Pineiro Own Worst Enemy in Angels Loss

Final Score in Kansas City: Royals 7, Angels 3
This is one tough game to write up in a respectful manner. Mike Scioscia phoned in the lineup with a day of rest for anyone who batted lefty, giving us a rare Willits and Wilson glimpse while Abreu and Russell Branyan sat. The Halos were out to a 2-0 lead, which is prime run support, just ask Jered Weaver, when Joel Pineiro literally threw the ballgame away.
In the scheme of things, we should not have to rely on a pitcher being perfect to be a superior club. We are not a championship caliber club. The only grace we have is a .500 division. One hot streak is soming somone's way and with the Yankees and Rays coming to Anaheim this weekend into this time next week, the six game winning streak does not look to be ours, rested Bobby Abreu or not.
Don't listen to stupid blogs that beat the drum for the Angels to acquire Prince Fielder - Milwaukee has a much better team and record than the Angels. If a bad inning by Piñeiro takes us out of the game, we take ourselves out this AL West clusterfunk by default when Team A, B or C makes a shock good move and rockets a 9-1 hot streak to coast just ahead of the three other stooges. I would like to think that we could be the hot team but preying on meltdowns by the worst bullpens in the world is not the bread of life on which to feast. Time for a gluten-free win streak fellas.

Joel Pineiro
followed closely by the guy who wrote the line-up card with Willits and Wilson in it.
Aslo special recognition goes to the two blown inning-ending double plays and the 8 runners left on base
I thought that was a typo.
Official prediction: The Angels will win the AL west this season.

No doubt, it goes to Piniero, but Trumbo should get a mention too.
Also Aybar. That play on the single up the middle was so half-assed.
Too bad none of those are choices.

That's where my family used to live
before the battle of Saratoga, which didn’t take place in Saratoga, but in Stillwater on the farm of John Freeman, my great X 4 grandfather. They were a bunch of Tories, so they had to leave after Burgoyne lost that battle. Went to Canada. The part of the family that is still in Canada is still mad about it.
THIS… IS… ANAHEIM!!
Yes.
I got a lecture about what a terrorist George Washington was.
The real anger, though, arose when they found out that our mutual great great grandpa was born in Ireland. They had been pretending he was Scottish for several generations, never looked at the Canadian census.

Send Weggie Willits his walking papers.
The guy is worthless.Lots of speed but yet cant steal a darn base or get on base at all.What the hell is he good for theirs gotta be better options in AAA right?I just dont understand why Scioscia plays Willits as much as he does starting or why the hell he’s even on the roster anymore.

Jeff Mathis Batting Average Watch: .216
Top of the 9th:
“Willits steps up to the plate. So far 0 for 3 on the night. He has yet to get the ball out of the infield. Showing bunt and first pitch is a called strike. Strike 1.” – Terry Smith
Good Grief
I dont understand sometimes when some of our hitters show bunt in random spots that make no damn sense at all.
Aybar does this alot and it pisses me off like swing the damn bat.

I understand that sure....
Just really seems silly sometimes I watch and see players squaring up to bunt when your teams down like 4 runs etc. seems silly,sure it may work every now and then but why not just swing the bat and see what happens instead of essentially selling yourself short for a low percentage move.

It's better than the mixture of impotent anger and hopeless defeatism we get after most losses
Defending maligned chants since 2009
Really tough to watch this team with reggie willits in the lineup.
Bobby not playing today?
Wilson at DH?
Sosh is getting weird. I don’t think he’s stupid, but it’s probably a running joke between him and mickey about how many times he can tweak the roster. We’re at the mercy of his boredom.
What do you need a fancy suit for, Charlie, you ain't got no job to wear it to.
I do sometimes mentally picture Sosh giggling while filling out the lineup
and muttering “Watch ’em howl about this one…”

You know this would almost be easier to watch if we were out of contention....
But with our whole division playing crappy baseball it gives me hope that I know will be shattered =p.
Now THAT'S
Angels Baseball!
Swung on and missed, he struck him out! ~ Terry Smith
Angels' 2011 W-L record with the alternate red jersey: 8-5
The Angels' outfield depth is sad
With that said, surely Chris Pettit or Jeremy Moore would be better options than Reggie Willits. They aren’t tearing up Salt Lake (in Pettit’s case, quite the opposite), but at least there would be the potential for an extra base hit.
At the least, the team should be watching the waiver wire very closely for a spare outfielder. Even another team’s castoff would look golden in comparison.
Mire el pollo grande! Mire el pollo grande!
Hope it's just a very temporary thing for Pinata
Just missed out on closing out May with a .500 record. Have to settle for 14-16 instead.
