i think you’re completely right. we need to let our power hitters hit for power… no more of this “let everybody bunt and hit singles and we’ll eventually score” crap.
if we have guys that can hit for power, then let them. dont turn everybody into singles hitters.
with a hamstring “strain” that was initially “day-to-day.” WTF? He’s starting to make Andrew Bynum look like a quick healer. Did he break a bone and they’re not telling us? Maybe it’d be quicker if he just had a hamstring transplant. We need Howie’s bat, bad!
blaming the trainer? If so many Angels are coming up lame with these hammies, could it be something the trainer is doing, or NOT doing? Or is it totally coincidental? I mean, these are young guys too – Kendrick, Figgins, Izzie.
Actually...
...even with that disaster, we had the tying run on deck in the bottom of the 9th… funny game.

GMJ
If the Angels had any balls he would be a 5th outfielder

agrees. WTF is this struggling zero doing batting second?

6th OF!

guaranteed loss
If GMJ is batting 2nd and Q is playing against a RHP, it’s like we give up.
I actually don’t mind GMJ when he leads off, he seems to do OK there. So just stick him first until Figgy is back, then he is benched.
Why is Wood not playing 3rd? I mean sure he would probably K 3 times a game, but he MIGHT do something good, and you just know Q will not.

Angels got a Pacific rim job for 9 innings.
Here’s what is really scary.
Margaret Cho is scheduled to start tomorrow’s game and is likely to throw a complete game shutout.

Why don't we just bestow GMJ as the first lifetime recipient of
the Blame of the Game. This guy is snake eyes personified, a rally killer extraordinaire.

I’ve given up on him even if the team haven’t and even though I share his surname.
Waste of space.

BTW
It wouldn’t hurt anything at all if Figgy and Howie decide to stop smoking dope on the beach and come back and play a litlle baseball.
Just sayin.

Anyone ever consider
