Napoli

One of Arte's worst moves. The weird thing is that he traded a better player for Wells, plus Wells' $85 million contract.

Arte panicked - Carl Crawford left the Halos at the alter. Toronto got a call and got 2 players PLUS Arte picked up Vern's entire fat ass contract.

Blue Jays laughing their ass off...just like St, Louis...

napoli sure hammered the angels every chance he got at the plate.

IF we signed Beltre

• We dont sign Wells
• We keep Napoli
• We probably win that division
• We probably keep Kendrys and not sign Pujols
• Michael Wacha was the comp pick for Pujols, but whatever
• The big surprise is that Beltre isnt sucking at the end of his contract

Not as big of a surprise compared to how many people still don't understand why he isn't sucking..   TUEs are the heat, yo...

We definitely missed the boat with Beltre.

I still love the story of Reagins showing up at Crawford's room with flowers and a contract and being asked to leave when the door is opened and Crawford and the Boston brass were drinking scotch and smoking stogies celebrating Crawford's Sox contract.

In that version, i picture the dude in the bear mask giving a blowy in the shining. The red sox being rhe bear, obviously

Don't worry folks...Arte has his eye on Beltre. The only problem is how he's going to break it to Pujols that someone is going to make more money than him.

Napoli has played for two real stupid managers. One cost him a World series MVP. The Other to stupid to give him a chance to play in the World series.

Ha ha

I completely forgot about that scene. What's disturbing is that you didn't.

Cleveland is channeling its' inner Halos circa 2013 against the Tigers.    Eleven straight wins over the Tigers until losing today!

Their staff is sick (Salazar, Bauer, Kluber, Carrasco, and Tomlin all having ERA's between 2.36 and 3.79).

How could ANYONE forget that scene, once they saw it?

The reason it stands out isnt just that some dude dressed like a bear is blowong another dude, but more....what the hell is that doing in there in the first place?

the simple explanation is it's a reference to the book - where the gay hotel owner tells a guy he'll f*ck him if he comes to a party in a bear costume.

but i heard it's more an implication to danny being sexual molested by the dad.

Who said it was? lol 

 

I stand by my opinion that the loss of Adenhart was huge, no more , no less.  If you want to read something else into that then be my guest.

Nick, along with the injury(ies) to Kendrys, and the ultimate sucking of Brandon Wood loom really large in my opinion. They weren't caused by any front office decision, but the impact those three had on the future decisions by the Angels front office have put the org in the hole it is today, IMO.
