Random scream of frustration from a fan near Vic and Gubie's booth? LOL 

[Angel Dog and Beer]

The good news... At least I don't have to watch this craptastic performance tonight.

I live out of state and didn't think I yelled that loud.  Apologies.

........................ Well this can't get any worst.

Yes it can

11 home runs in 43 innings. Cool.

[beatlesrule]

9-1 Tigers.

[Angel Oracle]

Why is Garcia still freaking here????

Gopher balls and BBs galore

WTF do they see in him?????

[rafibomb]

Thank god we didn't buy at the deadline. This team sucks so bad right now..

[PattyD22]

I'll be glad when these "worst" teams in the AL leave angel Stadium and we can go back to playing really good teams.

[eligrba4ever]

Billy may have had a busy morning dusting the office and arranging some files. But he looked pretty serene when he sat down for his lunch in the executive box.

[Angel Oracle]

Isn’t there freaking ANYBODY in AAA better than Garcia????

I wasn't really looking to "buy" I was hoping to pick up a couple of SP prospects in exchange for some of our spare pieces.

Didn't happen though.

Angels have plenty of ammo for a playoff push.

How is 'social media day' going?

Anyone check in from Madrid?  Alaska?

[Halokingfish]

I hope they get booed off the field today. What a pathetic homestand

[eligrba4ever]

Got distracted for a bit and missed JC's return with a nice scoreless inning. A light in the darkness.

[eligrba4ever]

Road trip starts now!!!!

Out of sight, sort of. Out of mind , in Cleveland.

Happy journey, Angels. Work through some stuff while you're gone.

[TooCool]

I think I have just accepted the fact that the Halos are going to miss the playoffs again this season. Time to just root for Trout to continue his career season and hope there are no significant injuries. And once again as always... I pray the Dodgers don't win the World Series.

And now I'll eagerly await hockey season so I can see the Kings suck for another season too... yay. On the bright side, the Lakers should be fun to watch.

Rodger Lodge repeats everything he says on his radio show. Rodger Lodge says the same thing twice when he does his radio show.

DFA Garcia STAT!

What a great pick up he was by Billy Boy 

[yk9001]

After Rodger Lodge filibusters for a half hour, he puts on the first caller. The first callers brilliant idea is to bat Mike Trout at the four spot. The second caller is having a separate conversation with somebody in the room and doesn't even know he's on the air.

 

The Rodger Lodge show is the perfect embodiment of this Angels franchise.

The only consolation today is the hope that Houston beats the Dodgers again in the World Series. That will take some sting off this disaster of a season.

Adding Greinke pretty much gives them an unstoppable playoff rotation.

[Angel Oracle]

Tank and only win 75 games and get a borderline top 10 pick.

And DON’T draft an OF or INF with that pick for a freaking change, unless you are actually going to finally trade 2 or 3 high prospects.

You can‘t have umpteen OF and INF prospects and KEEP THEM ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After a month of observance, venting AO is back!!!!!

This homestand against two pathetic teams was a disgrace to MLB!!!!!

I wonder if they had a different outcome against the O's if that inspired Eppler to make a move to acquire some pitching?

No I doubt he over pays or destroys the farm either way.

If the WS is between Houston and LA, then sure.

I'm hoping they both get beaten in the first round.
