   Which is the greatest of evils?

   I don't know how things will turn out. I'm likely a sucker hoping certain performances can turn around while others simply can't. So yeah, I'm going with #3. EDIT: Forgot to add - in talking with a friend, question came up if my choice would change if the team was guaranteed to spend the remaining resources? Hmm, well then Pujols seems the better choice honestly but with Scioscia at the helm for the next 5, I'm not sure any rotation help would matter.

   Does anyone else think that expanding the replay system will ruin baseball. I'm fine with homeruns being reviewed but if they go any farther such as fair and foul ball, plays at the plate, and on the bases it will kill baseball. Human error is apart of the game that's what makes it great. We're not Football either.

   I hate losing. I'm as frustrated as anyone and yet I haven't missed going to a home game yet this season. I've been reading all the rants and quite frankly - I just want to know who's still in this thing. I know you're out there. I know that even though you're frustrated, you're not going anywhere and I'd just like to see you stand up and be counted in this thread. This isn't life or death stuff... it's baseball, but if you love baseball like I love baseball, then you probably want a place where you can rally around others. This thread is it. I know (boy do I know) - there will be many who will try to rain on this parade - but that's ok. If you're like m…

   Do Not Fire Scioscia

   We aren't making the playoffs. As such we should be shooting for a top draft pick. Firing Scioscia does nothing to help this organization restock our farm system by achieving a top draft pick.

    What If The Current League And Playoff Structure Existed Then...

    Just as a curiosity, I went back over the Angels records since inception to see where the Angels would have stood had the current league structure and playoff structure would have been in place then. What I found was rather staggering to me. The Angels would have made the playoffs 5 times in the 60's (62, 64, 65, 66, and 67), twice in the 70's (78 and 79), 5 times in the 80's (82, 84, 85, 86, and a wildcard berth in 89), only once in the 90's with a wildcard berth in 90, and then 6 playoff appearances in the 00's. Not that it matters, it was just something that I found, shall we say, interesting. I also noticed a pattern that the even decades were successful …

    Bad habits, and no dependable pitching = bad team. There's a lot of blame to go around. Anyone can see that Sciocsia has lost the team and is not worth supporting given the team's uninspiring play. That's on him and he has to be accountable. Di Poto hasn't fared much better.
