Always a damn roller coaster. 

Doctor upped my heart meds last year. I can handle this better now.

Guess I jinxed it.

Wouldn't you know it .... I must have set my PVR up on the wrong channel. After the hockey games and setting up a new Android tablet  I was ready to watch the Angels and saw that I had mistakenly recorded a Reds game. Which I promptly deleted. So I miss a rarity. A come from behind Angels win. And the new kid on the block, Tucker !!

Now it would really help if they stop losing series and creep closer to .500. Now -7. A sweep puts them at -5 and certainly on a potential track for a gradual climb in the standings. And a much needed morale boost. 

If they could just stabilize the batting order and  defense, get at least some consistently  respectable pitching and  just enough timely hitting.

Harper hitting .229 I like. 

Comparisons between Trout and Harper were a topic among Japanese MLB fans.

So, as usual, Mike beats Harper's stupid face by a landslide...

That being said who would you rather have up late in the game?

To those who were abhorred by the Vanessa Hudgens submission, probably @Taylor, here is the original lineup graphic. 

I wasn't abhorred.

Good. Honestly I just wanted to use the word abhorred. I love the way it rolls off the fingertips.

I agree.

We all miss you Lou.

It was a team effort win, aided by a late defensive hiccup from the Phillies.

Props to the pen for 3 solid innings before a hiccup from Estevez

Props to Canning for a much better 2-5 innings, just needs to clean up the first inning issues

Props to Adell’s hitting so far in 2024

Props to Tucker on a nice Halos debut

No props to me for the post after the first inning

You should get a VCR.  Much less likely to set the wrong channel on one of these babies...
