Completely agree.  I wouldn't be surprised to see a rebound like Showalter's finish in 2009 if the trades happen like I hope they do.

Especially if any of these kids can play defense.  Rasmus should never be playing CF under any circumstances.

Probably not.  But give them another couple of weeks and maybe that changes.  I hope that changes.  I really, really hope that changes...

I'm holding out hope that they flip the roster soon. That's all I have at this point.

I wonder if anybody in this organization has any pride at all? 

I'm pretty sure Peter Angelos is proud to be the smartest guy in baseball and morally superior to the other owners. Does that count?

Heard this morning that we're 0-13 against the AL West.

There are just so many pathetic ways to break this season down that it's almost unbelievable.

WOW.  I somehow didn't even realize that.  Winless against an entire division.  THAT is impressive.  I knew Houston and Oakland always give them the yips, but the entire division??  Just awesome.

Yep, and there's still Texas to play.  9-23 in the East including 2-15 vs. BOS and TOR.  17-48 vs the league.  So many different ways to reach the same pitiful conclusion.

Angel's playing the worst basebsll in the majors. If they lose today will be at .500.

You know .500 is a lot better than .288 and also the Tigers have lost 9 straight.  I am not sure how the Angels are by any definition are playing worst baseball in majors.

31 games out of division lead in June.

What will be more impressive is when we finish the season 60 games out of first and still have the exact same roster of players and coaches that we have now.

We won't have all the same players but yea I think we might keep all of the coaches through the bitter end.

The last team to finish June 30+ games out of first we're the 1979 Blue Jays, a third year expansion tram that was 30 back of the Orioles.

We are going to lose more games by the ASB, than the Red Sox and Yankees, or any division champion will lose all season.

Tigers have been bad also. Angels 4-13 in last 17. . Lost six in a row. Some really bad teams. 

[Going Underground]

If the Orioles finish 65-17 they have a good chance for second wild card.

Goes to show how terrible the NL is.  We might be closer to .500 if we were in the NL.  Yes, small sample size but 6-8 against the NL..I don't think it's a coincidence.

I love how they continue to use the same 27-28 guys night in and night out. I don't expect a miracle but seriously? They can't put a more competitive team together than this?

No they can't.  And it's going to get worse.  If they trade Jones, Manny and others, it's only going to get worse.  

They can keep calling up dreck from the minors, give our so called "prospects" a look and focus on a rebuild.
