    You've complained about the lineup in 104 games this season. It's a sure bet that no matter what the lineup is, even if it's one you submit, you will find complain about it.

    Well, we tried a position player on the mound last night. Maybe we should try pitchers in the batter’s box tomorrow. IT WOULD BE REAL WILD!!!!……

    It’s okay to get a little bitter losing to the A’s

    We need to get players back ASAP, we can't keep running out a AAA lineup beyond the 5th batter......

    We have ZERO juice right now.....and our pitchers are getting worn down.

    Our pitchers are falling like black guys in an 80s horror flick……

    I literally cannot believe that we got 1 run off that stupid garbage trash pitcher. He couldn’t throw a strike to save his life. Absolutely horrible ****ing series. Complete jackass performance.

    Dubon is making 2% of our salary and has played good defense all over the diamond. He’s contributed 2 WAR in like 200 AB. Weird place to start your complaints about salary. Dude has been worth every penny, each season he’s been on the team.

    it’s the 40m spent on negative WAR at 1B that’s the payroll killer this season. Not the guy earning 1/8 of that and producing.

    Worry about your dude yordan being healthy. Right now, he's done for the season in my eyes.

    Last series A's scored 1.5 runs against the Rangers (0-3), this series they are scoring around 8+ runs a game. No team will win a series giving 8 runs a game. Not counting a streak of giving up the 1st run to the opponent. Seeing other playoff teams padding players while we sit and watch is tough especially we have so many castoffs. It comes to a point that we are hoping the Mariners lose tonight, almost every night. Let's Go Angels (tonight).

    That's a sad state of affairs, if those are our best bats.

    Dumbass :)

    Meh, ask how Tigers fans feel. Let's get our pitching back and some semblance of a lineup. Not worried.

    I would spin the wheels on Suarez though

    I just couldn't remember "where" it came from, I've seen it many times.

    Much respect for your great-granddad.
