Astros leading the Angels 5-3 after 6 innings. If Houston manages to finish the sweep, the Angels will be 0.5 games away from last place in the AL West. :p

Man the Angels are in some serious trouble. Almost unfathomable to get swept by the Astros .. it's not over yet of course but not looking good for LA.

i checked the box for the angels/hou game and it says this:

THE ANGELS ARE PLAYING UNDER PROTEST DUE TO AN ASTROS PITCHING CHANGE IN THE SEVENTH INNING.

You take it. No, YOU take it.

Since I can't be fined for ripping umpires anymore, let me take this opportunity to express my displeasure w/ Angel Hernandez.

Chipper Jones ‏@RealCJ10

Even worse than that, there were 2 other umpires looking at it with him. What the hell were they lookin at?? Musta been "get away day"!

Chipper Jones ‏@RealCJ10

What good is instant replay if u don't have umpires who interpret it correctly? Some course of action has to be taken w/ umps.

Chipper Jones ‏@RealCJ10

I can see the powers that be in the MLB offices, rolling their eyes, thinking to themselves, "oh no, Angel is at it again"!

Let's go ESPN! Do an article. Make it happen. Ask questions. Demand accountability.

Even ESPN has no faith in the Angels anymore...

Angels did rally to beat the Astros last night, unfortunately.

Do you know the Angels have yet to win two games in a row this year?

Incredible

Incredible

on the glass half full (of dirty water) side of things, that must mean they've had no extended losing streaks.

This has been mentioned in the umpiring thread but I thought I'd point it out here too--both the Astros manager and all four umpires showed a pretty terrible understanding of the rules regarding substituting relief pitchers
