You can say that again.

I've seen waaay too many Angels games like this over the years and it sure gets old.

It's getting so bad for me that I've even been tempted to become a Dodger fan.

That's how bad it is.

Wonder if Scioscia will keep going to Norris.

Probably.

 

Parker should be the closer.  He also shit the bed today.  Who's your closer?  

[nando714]

We need to look into brining in K rod. He isn't worse than Bud!

See ya.  There's been a lot of horrible things said on this board, this might be the worst.

I would actually give Chavez a shot at this point.

I said "tempted". I didn't say I would.

I'd give Parker a pass way before I give Norris one. Parker had 0 earned runs at home before today's meltdown. Norris coming in hanging breaking pitches was like throwing gas on the fire.

I get that but he is still the one that got the first two outs then shit the bed and couldn't get out of the 8th.

Yes, this one game, the reason we are having this discussion.  I already stated he'd be my closer, but today he was bad.

He is this year

[Angel Oracle]

WTF is your problem, Norris????  Are you freaking tipping your freaking pitches the past two weeks?

NOW...SEASON freaking OVER!

I thought the A'th offense SUCKED!!!!   WTF happened this weekend????   This was a total pitching embarrassment!

Okay Arte Moreno, you free up $60-$70 million AAV payroll this off-season.   Bring in some €~#}# pitching along with a REAL 3B.

The As practically gave away tickets this season. I hope my namesake does the same. Sorry ass team, minus Trout and Simmons.. of course Parker gets a pass, he's be solid for us at home this season. 

No Maldonado? He has been pretty great.

[Troll Daddy]

That was brutal today

It can never get that bad for me.

Me neither but I can understand the frustration.

I've been an Angel fan since the very beginning and what happened today is all to familiar to me.

This garbage needs to finally end.

The teams pitching has been decimated by injury so when is something going to be done about it? 

How many more years are the Angels going to depend on players (pitchers) that are damaged goods?

If we go into next year with these same guys it'll just be more of the same.

[Billy_Ball]

One the One Week Anniversary of the Disaster in Toronto....I hope this isn't the new Sunday norm.

[thebloob]

Maybe arte should waive the $25 checked bag fee for the players if they win the getaway game.

As frustrating as the Angels have been the last several years or so, I'd rather gouge my eyes out than become a Dodgers fan.

I mean, you are constantly updating the MLB thread when the Dodgers win. 

You sick fuck.

It's simply something this team can't solve mid season.  I'm not entirely sure they can solve it this off season, or if it should be the number one priority.

Somewhere in between 

Big contract FA pitchers rarely truly work out for their new team.

But they need to upgrade the rotation somehow this off season, to prevent another season of overwork by the pen.

This.

Ya know, after a good nights sleep I woke up this morning and I'm still pissed about last nights game.

It might take a 5 or 10 game winning streak to wipe the stench of that game out of my memory.

[Stradling]

It's weird we get less joy out of the win where we scored 7 in the ninth than we get misery for a loss like yesterday.
