What was once a mighty prolific offensive force erupts in Big Bang Friday Fireworks as it careens uncontrollably around the season of dashed hopes. If the meek truly shall inherit the Earth, this Halo Offense is first in line to Rule over The New World Order. 2012 cannot come soon enough.
Ervin Santana tossed up a rather uninspiring 7 frames, scattering 4 runs over 7 innings with 5 BB's against 5 K's. And yet, with an offense which saw everyone but Trumbo garner a hit tonight, it should have been good enough to remain competitive.
Unfortunately, the Halos worked mightily to limit the damage caused by those 8 hits to a mere 2 runs. And the culminating moment of the evening's offensive outbursts came stumbling into home plate as Bobby Abreu was thrown out trying to score from second on an Erick Aybar single - TO LEFT FIELD. Awesome. Meanwhile, somebody might consider dropping Vernon Wells to 11th. Or even 12th.

me too - most points I've had in weeks.
Not giving up yet... but man this season stinks right now (6/9/11)
Tony Reagins Must Be an Option
Seriously, who put together this roster?
Jeff Mathis = sure fire 1st ballot Hall of Fame inductee
Well, we have to have an exception for TR.
We pretty much could concede that he would gather between 80 and 162 votes this season. We cannot handicap his huge advantage sufficient to allow others to remain competitive.

Year 2 of VW with us. And Barry Zito instead of Jered Weaver.
Pollyanna is dead. But don't get mad at me, I didn't kill her. Tony Reagins did.
VW makes GMJ look like a hall of fame shoe in
but I just don’t think they will cut VW loose and eat that much contract money. This team is the result of showing up late to the party at the winter meetings like a pompous ass and getting shut out because everyone is gone. Let’s see, no VW but Beltre with Trumbo, that team scores runs.
CONGER, CONGER, CONGER !!!
Soth looks dejected.
What do you need a fancy suit for, Charlie, you ain't got no job to wear it to.
I'd like it more if he was vocally and visibly mad
At time like this, a stoic Soth is not inspiring confidence.
Which is why once another team gets to 4, I pretty much say "Well, that's it"
(a lot of times I say it once they get to 2)

17 games — May 9-27, 1969 (team went 3-14)
13 — July 23-Aug. 3, 1968 (3-10. Also, I was born during the streak)
12 — Sept. 22, 1972-April 6, 1973 (8-4; thank you, Nolan Ryan)
10 — Aug. 31-Sept. 9, 1981 (2-8)
10 — July 30-Aug. 8, 1971 (3-7)
10 — June 18-June 27, 1965 (1-9)
9 — May 31-June 10, 2011 (1-8)
9 — Aug. 6-16, 1972 (4-5)
9 — July 16-22, 1972 (2-7)
9 — May 8-16, 1967 (2-7)
trAdition!
And to top it off, the guy in front of me kept farting.
God needed a starter. RIP #34

Another blame poll. Can't remember the last time we got to vote for a Panther.
Do we even still do that anymore? Someone wake me the next time this team wins.

We'll have to vote for something that's the opposite of a Panther

Dino Ebel = BOTG
Absolutely no reason to send Abreu on that Aybar single. Gordon had the ball before Bobby even reached third base. Absolutely killed the only rally we could muster.
Exercises in Stupidity:
The 0-2, 2 Outs, Pitchout Watch: 2
The Torii Hunter, 9th Inning Bunt Watch: 2

This a million times over
before the ball even reached the outfield grass, I was screaming “STAY” at the TV. Unreal.

YES YES YES YES
I went ballistic all over the room when that happened.
See No Evil has NEVER seen a runner that he doesn’t want to use his Fucking Windmill to send home.
He has done this MANY times, ostensibly for the glory that is derived by having a bad throw make his call look good.
NOTE: We would have had bases LOADED with one out! Instead, we have 2nd and third and 2 outs. Great Fucking call, Ebel.
Time for a holistic house cleaning here. TR, MH, DE, MB

Seriously?
Dino Ebel is the least of this team’s problems. They have won far more games than they have lost from him sending a runner home. Last night was one bad call; the only other one I can specifically remember was in his first season with the team.
Ebel sent Howie Kendrick
Home on a blazing shot to the 3rd baseman earlier this season.
When the “run-on-contact” play is on, even a freshman in high school knows you don’t run if the ball is hit to the 3rd baseman. But EBEL says RUN ON CONTACT! No conditions.

and more importantly ...
with bases loaded one out, the next play was gonna be a GIDP. I don’t blame Ebel at all.
I love this team.

I don't even enjoy watching this team play
This team kmows how to piss me off!!

I'm not sure if I would describe this team with the picture of the crash above
At least that would be interesting and exciting to watch.
No, this team is more like the rat that crawls between a crevice in the wall and dies, leaving behind a stench that just grows worse and worse by the day.

What a Dull
and uninspiring game. At no point after the 1st inning did I think the Angels had a chance to win. How long did it take them to get more than 2 hits off Francis and his 84 MPH “fastball?”
And I had great seats, too: 110/H. Would have preferred a win from view level, though.
Also, took the Angels Express from Union Station for the first time tonight. What a civilized way to get to a baseball game.
Nowhere Near
It’s certainly not rock bottom in any absolute sense (see, e.g., 2003 Tigers, 2004 Diamondbacks), but let’s hope that this is rock bottom for this team. That would mean things should start getting better.
I was talking about this team.
I can’t remember an Angels team that was so mind numbingly boring to watch.
I would like to see head rolls, but I’m not even sure that’s going to help. We could fire Mickey Hatcher, reincarnate Ted Williams, and he wouldn’t be able to teach these guys hitting fundamentals. We just have a roster full of crap.
I've got nothing.
Nowhere near rock bottom for this team,
wait until we are swept by the …….. can’t believe I’m going to type this ………. Kansas City Royals !! This team could be the inspiration for “Depression meds”
CONGER, CONGER, CONGER !!!
Where is Bill Stoneman When You Need Him?
Atleast, Bill Stoneman gave us a championship in 2002. Huge difference
in that line up and our present line up. The 2002 team had a number of
good hitters which continues to be ignored the past couple of years now.
Now, if they can just get rid of Tony Reagins and ask Bill Stoneman to go
back to managing the front office then, we may have a chance to reclaim
the glory of 2002!
If you want Arte to engage to start fixing this abortion
Use your wallet. If the legend and folklore is correct regarding Arte’s business prowess, when the fans stop showing up and buying merchandise – he will take action.
I'm For That
After all, this baseball game is a commodity and if you do not like the product,
then, you do not have to buy it! Obviously, we need a new manager who knows
what the heck he is doing. Reagins brought in Kazmir, Rodney, Wells and
wasted a good chunk of the budget signing Wells and Kazmir to a lesser
degree! I’m not paying for games and merchandise and will stick to TV.
Atleast, I can turn it off or switch channels when the games get ugly!
By all appearances.....
This is what’s happening. Big Bang Friday night last night, we were there and if there were 25000 people there, i’d be shocked. It’s looked like that all week.
It still amuses me that there's a Doubleday Field at Cooperstown
"Mike Scioscia?! Didn't you get radiation poisoning?"
"I sure did. And it gave me super managing powers!"
Welll Shit....
Were a good second half team…..

Go 2 pre-game pick points in just one game...
that’s the most I’ve had in weeks.
Hummmm
Not giving up yet... but man this season stinks right now (6/9/11)
Sigh...let's just go back to talking about the fat, white suited people panhandling@the stadium
Hell, even they created more of a spark.
