Thread: Official 2010 Angels Thread

As the weather heats up, the Rangers always fade in July and August.

I'm not sure if he will be able to stay as a starter going forward. Maybe the BP is a better idea? Who knows but the White Sox owned us tonight big time.

Some good news tho. Texas lost so we are still only 3.5 games back in the West. The Rangers got worked hard tonight too lol

They need to look into other options for Kazmir. He just doesn't trust his pitches. He won't throw strikes and his slider is not working. I don't know if they should put him in long relief or a DL assignment to work on things but he is not helping.

Sigh a lose with Weaver on the mound. Not good at all. Where were our bats tonight?!? We got 9 hits but could not bring anyone home...this has been happening for a few games already.

Are we going back to the rough start of the season again. Bobby has been pretty useless lately and I wish Matsui did more too. Yeah, I wonder if July is going to be a bad month for the Halos. 46-40 record and Texas cont to gain a lead in the West. Not a happy camper right now

I know the White Sox are red hot right now, but we can beat them! The Halos needs the offense to bring runs home.

This team is simply not good enough. With Kendry out of the lineup, the offense isn't good enough. Saunders and Kazmir are WAY too inconsistent, as is the bullpen. Reagins better make some moves this year or we'll be watching the Rangers in the playoffs.

I agree. Tony better get busy with the trades, but I think nothing major until the offseason. Art needs to start spending more money and invest into the team more.

Abreu is a weird player. He can be extremely clutch when he needs to be. I'm talking about timely hits if we have runners on. The same with Matsui I guess. The only problem is that they seem to be way past that "consistent" stage where can they do it night in and night out.

As for Texas... don't worry about them Melfice. Give it another month. If they don't fade by then... then I be right there with you in terms of being worried.

The White Sox win the 4 game series, and let's hope it's not a sweep tomorrow guys. Joe did well until he walked a batter in the 6th inn, and everything went south after that.

Some bad base running and weak bats sealed the deal for Chicago tonight. Man, I hope the Angels bounce back from these last few games soon. Texas cont to gain ground in the West...I don't like it

I hope you are right, TooCool. We will know soon enough

We always seem to lose in Chicago. Why is that?

Kinda of like how we never beat Boston during the normal season. Hell, even the postseason until last year

Man, the pitching was great today but the Angels did not have the offense to tie and then win the game.

4 loses in a row is not good times, but we are playing our rivals again starting tomorrow! I love when the Angels play their West Div rivals. Oakland for a 3 game series, then the All-Star break and back to more rivals with Seattle at the Big A for 4 games.

These two series are very important for us to win. One, they are our div rivals and we need to be able to beat them every chance we get. And, after Seattle we face some very tough teams for the rest of July. The Yankees for two, then Texas for 4 and back home facing Boston for 3 and then Texas going into August. What a hardcore amount of series we need to play, and the Angels have not been playing very well. I think this might break or make us for the rest of the season.

Come on Halos...let's turn things around and win some games!!!
