Will another Astros sweep change anything?

Or will we just politely turn the page for the rest of the season?

 

Trout has to be wondering how he can get far away from this mess...

[Stradling]

Um, no.

If it weren't for Trout we would have lost this game by more than 10 runs

If it weren't for trout we would be having a midget wrestling match with Houston for last place in the league

[FireThemAll]

We might be a 110+ loss team if it weren't for Trout. No hyperbole. Without that guy, this is probably one of the worst teams in baseball history. Sweet job Dipoto, Scioscia, Butcher,Moreno,  etc.

Rojas mentioned our home record (something like 30-33) and our record within the AL West 19-34 or something terrible like that........

 

Against Houston, we're now 6-8 on the season and 2-6 at Anaheim.

 

Meanwhile A's have a 11-1 record against Houston and the Rangers are 11-2. Both of those remaining games vs. Houston are home games for the A's and Rangers.

 

In a season of low points, we've hit another one........perhaps only to be eclipsed if Houston sweeps us at home -- AGAIN.

I am afraid to ask:  "Could the 2103 Halos' season get any worse?"

 

Because when I've done so in the past at low points like this, the Halos then go out and show, YES, exactly how it can be and get worse.

 

OK Halo fans -- sort of trivia and Halos history question:  can anyone think of any prior Halos team with a larger (negative) gap between pre-season expectations and the actual final record/ place in the standings?

 

I mean, the largest gap may have been the '62 team under Bill Rigney where the second year expansion franchise is battling for first place the last ten days of the season -- but that's a 'positive' gap where not much (last place) was the expectation and the Halos were in the hunt as the season wound down.

 

And then there's been those lousy Halos teams over the years where not much was expected and the expectations proved accurate.

 

But this year, with the Halos advertising campaign boasting of "A team built for the ages' -- a fourth place finish nudging out the Astros was not exactly where folks thought things would stand with a month and half left in the season..........

1971 was similar, expected to win the AL West but finished 76-86.

1977 was similar, expected to win the AL West but finished 74-88.

The record will almost certainly be even worse in 2013.

I hope that in 2103 we play better than we did in 1012.
