Good news, the Angels are back at home. Bad news, the party will be crashed by Roid Sux fans.

This one was mismanaged. The squeeze was too cute. Should’ve just gone for a sac fly. And then there’s letting Soriano blow it twice with our better relievers sitting on their asses.

Wait, I missed O’Hoppe hitting a slam too? And we still lost?

I wanted to win this game so badly. It is so deflating to lose one like this.

I have a Coronado Big Weekend Double IPA going down, 8.8%, I don’t feel much at all

We failed to take advantage of some of the worst defense I’ve ever seen.

One of those ones you just decide before the game starts that you’ll lose no matter what

It’s difficult to reverse a losing culture.

It was snowing in the High Desert for the first 3 innings. Storms in the region today

I was up in Idyllwild until Thursday with my sixth grade class. Had to cut our camp short by a day to beat the weather

I think it froze Washington’s brain.

Sounds like a fun one to be at even if we lose.

Yeah I could tell on the broadcast that the Sux fans have crawled back into their holes. Back in 04/05 it was insufferable.

Might as well just bat Trout lead off to start the game.

Soriano has the one of the top arms in the system, just did not work tonight. Had difficulty getting his breaking pitch for strikes.

Not the time to be stretching out a reliever. We need to win this freaking game

Not holding my breathe for a win anymore. Soriano ruined that.

I want to see Jimmy on 2nd and Flynn a-hugging third by the time Drury gets up

Wait they didn’t pull Soriano yet? He already had blown the lead. Is Wash still in the dugout?

He didn’t blow the lead. Cause he never had the lead to protect.

This romance by Washington for Soriano is a total fail. Boston tried to hand the game to us and Washington gave it back.

A third fucking inning. With Trout coming up in the 9th.

Are you fcking serious, Wash.

Perplexing. I hope Wash learned that Soriano belongs in Utah.

Well, he’d fit right in the starting rotation with the gopher balls.

This move screams Perry, since they want him as a starter.

I think O’Neil is seeing the ball pretty well
