   Astros closing in on $100 million in profits for 2013

   http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-big-league-stew/houston-astros-worst-record-baseball-making-most-money-175023013.html Seems like any year now, they can start becoming a player for FAs. If Jim Crane is smart though he learned from Arte Moreno's mistakes, and will not go crazy over 32 year-olds in decline and still give them massive contracts.

   There's a million topics on how bad we are. Lets try it from another angle. You're a dodger fan. Are you happy with the state of your team? Meaning finance wise. Do you believe their long term deals are safe bets/smart moves? Do you break the bank on kershaw? Do you extend hanley? The only reason I ask, I'm sure the answers would have looked different a few months ago. I'm pretty sure they'll be different in a few years too.

   This time, lets look at trades that don't save us money. Before I get skewered, my disclaimer is I'm not advocating we make any. But since the dodgers have everyone's attention, I figured it would be fun to discuss. We obviously need to get younger, and cut some payroll. That said, we also have holes. No impact free agents in the near future (cano isn't coming here, we can all relax), and the farm is barren. What about taking a contract off someone's hands, only this time a good player? (And again, I'm not advocating it). But maybe there someone out there that's being paid too much for a go nowhere team. What if there's a high dollar, but 2-3 ish year left on the contr…

   By Joe Haakenson, AngelsWin.com Contributor - AUG. 26, 2002 GAME 130 - ANGELS AT RED SOX BOSTON -- It won't go down as the most dramatic home run in Red Sox history. It won't even be remembered as the most dramatic home run by a Red Sox player against the Angels. But Johnny Damon's leadoff homer in the bottom of the 10th won't soon be forgotten, either by the sellout crowd of 32,869 at Fenway Park, or the players from both teams. The Red Sox scored four runs in the bottom of the ninth to tie the game, and in the 10th, Damon homered off Angels reliever Scot Shields to give the Red Sox a 10-9 win and a split in the four-game series. The loss dropped the Angels thre…

    It seems implausible that a fresh-faced rookie with little or no experience can transform an entire team overnight from something ordinary into something extraordinary. But in consecutive seasons, that is precisely what we have seen with the Angels' Mike Trout and the Dodgers' Yasiel Puig. View the full article

    "Several clubs expect that pitcher Masahiro Tanaka will look to join an MLB team this offseason, according to Badler, which confirms what we've heard in recent months. The 6-foot-2, 205-pounder has put together a sterling season this year for the Rakuten Golden Eagles, compiling a 1.20 ERA across 158 innings with 130 strikeouts and just 22 walks. With an arsenal that includes a low-90s fastball and two plus secondary offerings - including a splitter that grades out at a 70 on the 20-80 scouting scale - some scouts project him as a potential No. 2 starter that could help a team immediately, Badler reports." " throwing his fastball comfortably in the low 90's, although hit…

    Saw a mention in MLBTR that Cal Ripken is starting to become interested in managing. The Nationals would be an obvious fit for him considering the location but Arte needs to at least make a call if Sosh is relieved of his duties.

    Since June 21, when the Dodgers were 30-42, they've gone 42-9 (!!!). How is that possible? Unreal. By the way, the Angels were 33-41 at the end of June 21 - 4 games better than the Dodgers. Since then they've gone 22-27. A tale of two LA teams.

    .... and a lot of you jagoff fans Just my opinion: Arte has a serious insecurity/inferiority complex. It first reared its head when he adopted the fake LA name - an embarrassment we haven't lived down in nine years. Read his quotes at the big press conferences - usually you can find some mention of the word "Dodgers"...which is a complete red herring. He feels he's "competing" with the joke of a franchise 35 miles up the road. While taking his eye off the AL West rival 1,400 miles to the east. Arte has never understood that winning championships will take care of just about all his problems. Disney gave him the cache of a freshly minted championship when he bou…

    By Joe Haakenson, AngelsWin.com Contributor - AUG. 25, 2002 GAME 129 - ANGELS AT RED SOX BOSTON -- Before Friday, neither Chone Figgins nor Mickey Callaway spent one minute in a major league uniform this season. But by late Sunday afternoon, they were the reasons the Angels had their music playing loudly in the cramped visitors clubhouse in the bowels of ancient Fenway Park. Callaway matched Cy Young award candidate Derek Lowe pitch-for-pitch for six innings and Figgins burned up the basepaths in the ninth inning to lift the Angels to an 8-3 win over the Boston Red Sox before a sellout crowd of 32,059. The win kept the Angels in a tie with the Seattle Mariners fo…

Anyone care to elababorate on why a trade would or would not work???
