  1. Our offense was really good tonight, unfortunately Spicy and Miller just couldn’t put it away. Ah well, such is life 😞

  2. They have the best bullpen since June but it sure feels like the few times they actually have a lead, that’s when the bullpen gives up runs.. I would look the stats on this but they already waste enough of my time

  3. Great game until the ninth when everything went to shit. Happy fan appreciation night, everyone! 

  4. W T F I checked and we were up big time. wtf is this?

    I’m going to the game tomorrow they better win

  5. ….. i…

    I literally have to laugh here….

    Haven’t watched all year really….

    Was it to dinner last night and noticed the game on the TV at the bar as we were getting up to leave. Saw the score was like 8-3 or something in the 8th or something.

    And I thought “nice, maybe they’ll win a series to end the year.”

    I don’t feel like the drive home was anywhere near long enough to have had this happen.

    Lol…. cry out loud…

  6. Ducks entering year 7 of the rebuild and the Angels solidifying their status as biggest laughing stock in baseball for the 10th year in a row… Anaheim sports has never been more in the gutter. If the Amigos still existed they’d probably be the worst basketball team in the world too

  7. I was at the game. I thought, for sure win. Bought a beer. Happy as can be. Then all of a sudden, panic mode. I love the angels and always will but wow are we bad
