Angels Get Blanked (13/81)

The last two days of being an Angels fan haven't been very exciting. As a matter of fact, they've been downright depressing. Lucky for me, I've been spending the last two days tapping into my inner-nerd by watching "The Avengers" and celebrating "May the Fourth" Star Wars-style. I think the Angels just need to have a day where they skip the game and go to Disneyland.

Just when you thought the Angel's offense was turning the corner after a nine-run game, they get shut out by Brandon Morrow of the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday.

Even if Angel's starters threw a no-hitter every game, they still would have found a way to lose. The offense only managed 3 hits in the 5-0 loss, and two of those hits came from a player who can't legally purchase alcohol yet.

Mike Trout led the 1st and 3rd innings off with a single, but was left stranded. Angels didn't get another baserunner until the 9th when Mark Trumbo hit a double.

Dan Haren had a rough 3rd and 6th innings, but otherwise pitched great. Mark Trumbo made a terrible throwing error that allowed 2 runs to score.

It feels like the last series with the Minnesota Twins was nothing more than an anomaly. I don't know what can cure the Angels woes, but they need to get their minds of baseball for awhile. There comes a point when you're trying so hard that you begin to get tunnel vision and fail to see other solutions. Angels need to take a step back, go to Disneyland, and have some fun. Nothing else seems to be working.
