Angels Fall 6-1 to the New York Mets

NEW YORK, NY - JUNE 18: Dan Haren #24 of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim pitches against the New York Mets during their game on June 18, 2011 at Citi Field in the Flushing neighborhood of the Queens borough of New York City. (Photo by Al Bello/Getty Images)

Pedestrian offense, poor pitching, and bad execution in the field equals a lose. Good Job Fellas!

The SBNLA Writeup of the Game says a little more but makes the same point.

Haren pitched like a 5th starter

Plus the Angel offense failed to show up allowing Pelfrey to run the table.

I'd cast my vote for Ms. Aybar

Nothing rattles a guy like Haren more than a stupid shortstop behind him

No can hit, this team, no matter who is the pitching.

This offense needs to be arrested for loitering.

More like impersonating a major league lineup.

Sorry Danny boy.............but you were not up to snuff

The score dictated they pass

by norcaliangelsfan on Jun 18, 2011 7:36 PM PDT reply actions

I would have picked Haren

but even if he had pitched well, he would have had no support and still lost. So I’m pinning this one on Wells, because…. I don’t like him. And because he looks like the Iron Sheik

Remember the good ol days,

When our Halos could be down by 6 in the middle innings and you just knew they were gonna chip away at it throughout the game and pull it out with 2 in the 9th? Remember? Yeah, neither do I.

Who's with me!

I was at this game wearing my “Side Salad” jersey. Not a lot of visible Angels fans there.

My 3rd time at this park, this time I got real good seats and the Caesar’s Club is super nice.

I'll keep this short and sweet.

We sucked today. BOTG-everybody. I award us no points, and may god have mercy on our souls.

BOTG = Aybar

Not hitting is one thing, but dump plays on D make life miserable.

For F**ks sake , don't ever start with that lineup again!

My BOTG is Mr. Trumbo for not protecting the shutout

And giving more ammunition to fire SOMEBODY!

Bring on the OREO Line!

BOTG Wells for my personal sabermetric

Contract to suckitude measurement. He makes a LOT of money, and he plays a LOT of suck baseball. Reagins, may you be infested by the fleas of a thousand camels and the bedbugs of a thousand New York hotel rooms for the signing of Wells.

CONGER, CONGER, CONGER !!!

Mr. Aybar needed to be an option

Not giving up yet... but man this season stinks right now (6/9/11)

The Lineup...

I don’t understand why Sosh thinks just because Abreu is playing he’s gotta keep Wells in Center…Bourjous is the spark the Angels need. And please stop with the Branyan (PH only) in the field thing…we need the Trumbombs!
