Good lord

Strickland is our best offense. No way we score if he didn't throw that pitch to the dugout.

The Angels definitely found a way.

Nice win

It was still dumb but sometimes the other team just sucks more.

"Well, folks, it’s time to slow down the countdown for a moment that’s near and dear to our hearts here on American Top 40—our Long Distance Dedication. Today’s letter comes from Anaheim, California, where a listener named Tommy is, well, let’s just say he’s got a lot on his mind after tonight’s game. Here’s what he writes:"

Dear Casey,

Friday night, I dragged myself to Angel Stadium, foolishly thinking the Los Angeles Angels might, for once, not ruin my evening. Spoiler alert: they did. Facing the Houston Astros, our so-called ‘team’ delivered another masterclass in futility—whiffing at pitches, botching routine plays, and generally reminding me why I should’ve stayed home. The Astros beat us, or I should say we beat ourselves. And I sat there, surrounded by overpriced beer and screaming kids, wondering why I keep doing this to myself.

I’m done with these Angels, Casey. I’m done with their empty promises, their endless slumps, and the way they make me hate not just baseball, but my entire existence. My job’s a dead end, my car’s on its last legs, and my team reflects my pitiful self-image. So, I’m dedicating “Loser” by Beck to every Angels fan who’s as sick of their circus clown act as I am. Play it loud, Casey, because I’m ready to embrace the misery.

Keep your feet on the ground, because reaching for the stars is clearly pointless,

Tommy in Anaheim


"Wow, Tommy, you’re really laying it all out there, aren’t you? Sounds like last night’s game hit you harder than a foul ball to the stands. But you know, sometimes music can help us laugh through the pain, and I hope this one does the trick. So, for Tommy and all the Angels fans feeling a little, uh, less than angelic today, here’s your Long Distance Dedication, sliding in at number 35 this week on American Top 40, Beck with ‘Loser.’"
