Get that Halo lighted BEFORE the game. The odds have been against lighting it after the game -- particularly in the past six weeks.

[eligrba4ever]

GO ANGELS!! Go Daniel Wright!!

Start the new winning streak tonight!! Keep the Rangers' "magic number" (relating to Astros and Dipotos) at 3.

Keep the ball in the park and the Angels in the game, Mr. Wright. It's a big ask, but spare the pen by getting at least TO the seventh.

You can still finish with a flourish, Albert, and take 600 into the offseason. It's a stretch, but you can do it.

MVP, MVP, MVP. Catch a late spark and you can't be denied, Mike Trout.

An 8-4 finish in the final 12 can keep the losses under 90. That's a goal.

And the Calhouns are still on the clock.

 

[Broad Street]

Tonight will be my first Angels game in about 10 years, and I'll be right behind the 3rd base dugout in enemy territory. Should be fun!

[eligrba4ever]

Oh, pish-posh! Zero leads off with a double and the Fish walks. Great opportunity there. Then three straight outs. Sigh.

[Broad Street]

Damn I meant 1st base side, 15 rows up

[ScottT]

Ian Desmond's walk up song makes me long for Mazda poems and the Oakland A's fan band.

Oy vey.

[Sam Sanchez]

I'm too lazy to research it, but the Rangers have to be the team that has hit (HBP) Trout the most, right?

[DMVol]

Watching Braves-Mets.....Salas looked good...

[AngelsLakersFan]

What a catch that was. Poor Simmons.

[eligrba4ever]

Just another less-than-5 Angels pitching start.

This game looks close to Rangers Lift-Off.

[eligrba4ever]

Yet another bonehead play that is turned around by the heads-up play of Andrelton Simmons.

[ScottT]

Fu c k Carlos Gomez.  Fu c k the Rangers.  

[Docwaukee]

and simmons gets thrown at.  clearly.  

oberholtzer better hit someone in the back.  

I hate these douchebags. 

[Blarg]

Bannister is quite the douchebag. 

[Broad Street]

This is great, there's a bunch of Rangers fans that want to fight me.

[Docwaukee]

Just now, ScottT said:

Scioscia won't say anything.  None of his players will do anything.

I just hope Trout stays out of it.

Scioscia was getting into it.  He was the main one instigating with Owen.  And then he was jawing at the umps big time.  Never seen him so pissed.  

[AngelsLakersFan]

Good luck dealing with the rednecks.

[ScottT]

When's the last time the Angels threw at someone?  I'm not a fan of it, but....

[AngelsLakersFan]

I guess this means we won't be signing Gomez this off season...

[Docwaukee]

Seriously, put JC ramirez in and have him buzz the tower.  

[ScottT]

Just make sure Mike Trout isn't anywhere near Odor. 

[Angels#1Fan]

They're going to walk Trout to load the bases for Albert.

Make them pay Albert!
