The root word of "catcher" is catch. For the second night in a row, the Angels lose a game because the person playing the one position on the field whose name comes from the word "catch" has failed to actually catch the ball. Last night it was Bengie, who admittedly, couldn't handle a tough pitch in the dirt, but his defense has been so piss poor this year that I refuse to give him the benefit of the doubt. Tonight it was because Jose couldn't catch a pitch that was essentially a strike (despite what Rapuano thinks he saw). Pathetic.
Folks, when things aren't going your way, they just aren't going your way. Take my post from yesterday, for example. Pretty much everything bad or stressful that could be happening to me right now is in fact happening. And it doesn't appear to be any different for the Angels.
I said on a couple of message boards after Frankie that if the Angels could hold the Jays scoreless for another nine innings, they just may score again. Guess I was wrong.
Wow. This team really sucks. Or at least the offense and defense do. The pitching is still good, I guess.
Moving this weekend, so the posting will be hit and miss. Mostly miss.

Thanks, guys. Once I get through this move over the weekend, things will probably take a bit of a turn for the better. And I hope you're right about the Angels, Matt.
I may have a beer or two with Fat tonight, so maybe that will cheer me up.
