Trumbomb!!!

This post season could be brutal for Angel fans, if this keeps up.

[ukyah]

why, because a well liked former angel hit a homerun in the fourth inning of a wild card game? 

i think we've all got the intestinal fortitude to withstand this barrage.

The good ones get better when they leave us.

 

 

[WeatherWonk]

It just rubs our nose in the shit that remains here.

BTW, I am rooting for Trumbo, Howie, all the ex Angels.

But I cant ignore the reality that we let players go that could have helped us and got very little in return.

I think most of us like Trumbo 

[AngelsLakersFan]

Save your anguish for when Mike Trout has a similar moment in a world series game seven for the Yankees.

/obligatory

[CaliAngel]

Man I miss Trumbo so much. I hope they win so he can get some playoff games under his belt, get some higher profile recognition.

So proud of him right now. He's grown so much since he started here!

[fan_since79]

Kendrick has even learned to play left field, and he looks good out there.

Still a good hitter, too. I forgot...why did we let him go?

isn't that true for any player leaving any team? if they didn't, they wouldn't be considered good ones

He kinda sucked for Arizona and Seattle.

No, that's not always true. Sometimes good players decline when they go to other teams.

c.f. Albert Pujols, Vernon Wells, etc.

I'm not sure I understand your post.

It could be brutal.  Dodgers could win.  

It could be pretty annoying.  Rangers could win.

Because we had Giavotella to "replace" him.

 

 

 

 

 

LOL

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Because Artie is racist.

but if they decline you wouldn't be calling them good right now

Did you see the home run he hit? It's a ball that even Marte catches in the Big A. It's the difference between east coast baseball and west coast baseball.

[mulwin444]

Haha @ this thread.

The fence is only 2 feet further and it's probably half the height. The ball got out in like, 2 seconds, no way anybody would've had time to get over there. 

I fail to understand your east/west comparison.

I concur

[Angelsfirst]

I do miss Trumbo, but I understand why Dipoto made the move at the time. I also miss Kendrys. I didn't agree with that move as much.

[WeatherWonk]

O'Day comes in. 'Nuther ex-Angel. Lets see how he does.

 

I would have left Brach in. He looked really good.

Trumbo and O'Day lost 

[CaliAngel]

Is a shame. 

But Baltimore clearly looked overmatched. Maybe it was that raucous crowd that intimidated them a bit. They were hitting weak piddlers. 

They hadn't had a hit since the 6th inning.

Sweet list.
