The Angels say bye to Oakland the city for this year as Marsh moves up in the lineup. Will this be enough to get back to .500? Discuss.

I think that is a bit harsh.

We have had terrible luck with injuries this season in addition to being repeatedly screwed by BOTH umpires and the powers that be in NYC for important review decisions.

Yes. Harsh toward garbage. Garbage isn’t as bad as this junk pile

It was nice to finally see Joe give them a piece, however small, of his mind.

It’s too bad that he’s lost his mojo. Bundy is one of the few I see that really wants it and seems to truly hate losing.

If Bundy is on the roster to mop up what is he even doing on the roster at all? He’s not going to be on the team next year. Just see what someone else has. Obviously Bundy gets rocked my MLB hitters now.

Guerra had a big smile on his stupid face! Fuck dude, you just gave up 2 runs after 2 out!!! You shouldn’t be smiling! This team is heartless.

Dude he knows he’s one of the worst relievers in the worst bullpen in the bigs. He should just enjoy his time up here while it lasts.

Those type of players need to be DFA’d right away. I have seen other players do that and it ticks me off.

Gutless. It’s okay to lose as long as you push as hard as you possibly can and die inside a little in the process. Erstad was my icon for that.

Hopefully they sign another aging bat in the off season.

well we won’t know who they’ll get until after the WS because we have to pick from among the WS winners so you know, they have absolutely no motivation to play after just winning the WS and getting a massive contract. Arte needs to fire himself.

and honestly there aren’t that many SP available by FA. Gausman, Mad Max, after that it goes downhill fast.

Guerra is another one who can go away. He had him 0-2.

I’ve been soothed finding the old Comics on HH … I won’t link because it wouldn’t be right to link to that dump.

But damn… Thelma and Louise titled “Jeffrey & Lyle” (Jeff Mathis and Lyle Spencer) is absolutely HILARIOUS.

Team Owners and team Management need to force the Umpires union to deal with how good the Umpires are. Are they in shape? Are their eyes OK? Do they know the rules? Any Umpire that can’t get 95% strike / balls right is gone. 95% on the bases including first.

Fat and slow and stupid and old Ump’s are just awful for the game. They miss calls way to often and players just are not capable to adjust to bad calls.

It ruins the game, just like starting a player on second in extra innings.

Or 7-inning DH’ers
