Angels Try to End Losing Streak With Nickelback Songs, Get Shut Out

The Angels are in the middle of a franchise-record losing streak, so they are doing anything they can to change their fortune. First, they fired their manager, Joe Maddon, replacing him with Phil Nevin. But Los Angeles lost its first game after that change.

Next, the team tried a music change. On Wednesday night against Boston, every Angels hitter walked up to a different Nickelback song to try and alter the vibe.

It didn’t work.

I mean if you put laxatives inside everybody's Gatorade, their play would also suffer. not sure why they thought doing the aural equivalent would yield a different result.

Boston
9:38 pm

Angel Stadium of Anaheim
S. Ohtani
(3-4, 3.99 ERA)
N. Pivetta
(5-4, 3.50 ERA)
Tickets Starting at $1.00

and just like that, i'm an angels fan. who knew. even on stats alone, you got this one in the bag pivetta. sheesh. i'm an angels fan until they stop torturing the players with nickelback. no one deserves that sort of punishment. demoralizing and, dare i say, dehumanizing.

DON'T "`BACK" THE ANGELS.

has a nice ring to it.

Talked about the streak on the baseball board, Phil Nevin was trying something but picked a horrible song.

Should've used a more positive vibes song, like "All-Star"

Vinnie, Friday, 10 June 2022 08:38 (one year ago) link

so they ended up winning on thursday night!

and then promptly lost last night's game. big sigh. at least the losing streak was broken.

DON'T `BACK THE ANGELS!
