I just watched video highlights of the game on mlb.com and saw padilla laughing when the umpire issued warnings. padilla also pointed right back at the umpire mocking him. this guy has got to go. i don’t want a scrub like that on my team and i think MY would agree after being hit.

I think Spider Arias’ new nickname should be “The Cooler.”. Everything went south with his arrival. And if they want to cut ties with Padilla today, I support them 100 percent. I have had it with his stupidity!

This team seems to struggle against the teams it’s supposed to beat and excel against those it’s not.
I expect them to win two of three against the Angels of Los Angeles/California/Anaheim/Los Angeles.

sickening feeling
permeates through my bowels
cold sweat drips from face

“Mother, I want to…”

Love it.

@justsaying: CJ is no more and no less culpable for the team’s struggles than any other team mate. He blew a 9th inning save. It happens– including to the angles. It certainly is no different than a batter’s failure to advance a runner, get a hit with RISP, or hit a home run.

The game is integrated and you can’t call out a single player or individual performance without considering the context of the entire game, if not the entire season.

@Jon
dark way to start the morning pal. Very dark.

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end

Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I’ll never look into your eyes…again

Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need…of some…stranger’s hand
In a…desperate land

For want of a nail a shoe was lost, for want of a shoe a horse was lost, for want of a horse a rider was lost, for want of a rider a message was lost, for want of a message a winnable series was lost. Wash cannot stop the bleeding. I still believe he subconsciously manages in Oakland so he may return there some day. Give’m the farm, Ron.
