  6. Better than a big fat goose egg, but that was pretty brutal. So much for beating out the “good” teams narrative

  7. We’re back to hoping tomorrow is a “at least we didn’t get swept” game. Cmon halos! See yall tomorrow!

  8. I see Anaheim finishing at 74-88. But hey at least they won’t lose 100 games again. Slight improvement from the 63-99 year

  9. It was nice pretending this team was relevant and had a chance to make the playoffs for all of five minutes, but on the bright side they will finish better than last season unless they have a Rockies style end to the season
