This might be the funniest part...

"Word also out of some quarters of the clubhouse is that Servais isn’t seen as a solution by some of the key players — though he and Dipoto both received multiyear extensions after the team got off to a great start and appeared to be on their way to breaking their playoff-less streak, right on the three-year schedule Dipoto laid out for them on his winning interview."

Servais" E tu Dipoto? "

is it still possible for the dogs and Cubs to meet in the WC game?

Yelich .324 36 hr 109rbi

Sure glad the Angels didn't trade for him.

Yes, if they both lose tomorrow and the Brewers and Rockies win.

You keep missing the major point of we didn’t have the prospects the Brewers had.

Considering this fact has been repeated adnaseum, I'm pretty sure they'll never "get it"...don't ya know we could have had Cole and Stanton we just had to give them a bunch of our guys, regardless of quality

I’m still mad they didn’t draft Bryce Harper

[tdawg87]

We should have traded for Altuve. Guess we don't want to win. Have fun with another year of mediocrity!

[tdawg87]

Why didn't the Angels trade for Vlad Jr.? 

[tdawg87]

Why didn't the Angels trade for Altuve?

[tdawg87]

I'm so mad at you idiots right now. I need a Xanax.

Did you notice that pitching consistently negated the offense this year?  A team of Babe Ruths would not have mattered.

I am also glad the Angels did not waste their farm on Yelich.

[tdawg87]

The Angels should have traded for Max Scherzer.

In a day where all the you dudes are getting TJ or declining with age ... Verlander is getting back his mojo. I guess marrying Kate Upton is reason for motivation.

 

[tdawg87]

Aaron Nola: 17-6, 2.37 ERA

Sure glad the Angels didn't trade for him.

[eligrba]

Sure glad the Angels didn't sign Lebron James.

[eligrba]

Sure glad the Angels didn't trade for Paula Creamer.

I would jettison Skaggs if the right offer was there, as his arm is liable to fall off again next year.

Skaggs and Shoemaker, very fragile and very familiar with the DL.

Move Shoe and nasty splitter to the pen, that part solved.

[Blarg]

This is starting to sound like the post game callers and Smith has to explain why Howie Kendrick isn't starting over Cowart.

Yep, Servais is another Lefty Phillips.   Scout turned manager, and that usually doesn’t end well.
