No joke, this season is depressing. It started off great, but it seems like the Angels can't catch a break of any kind. Nick's death, three of the Angel's best pitchers are injured, their best player vlad is out for 1-2 months, even Dustin Moseley possibly being injured, as well as a bullpen that has absolutely been torched for no reason.

The one good thing you can say about this team is that they have depth, but damn it is getting tested real early in the season. Darren Oliver is starting for the Angels, he hasn't done that since 2004... They'll probably just start him until Lackey or Santana can come back. Maicier Izturiz, who is absolutely clutch with RISP was the DH for the team for the first game against the Twins. While being clutch, if that guy is your DH, you know you have trouble on the team. The Angels might go with Napoli as DH and bring up another catcher from the minors, or just go with Gary Matthews SuckmoreJR to fill in the role.

No other team in the league has had to deal with as much adversity as the Angels so far this season. They're trying their best to not fall apart, and it's a real testament to the staff and the organization for keeping them competitive night after night. If the bullpen didn't suck, they'd easily have 3 or more wins early this season.


Garbajosa is the biggest joke in the history of mankind.
