How is it not time to DFA a guy like Valbuena or Chris Young?

Do you think they have any chance of turning it around? I just don't see the upside. At least I somewhat see the thought process with giving Kole and KInsler more time

I don’t mind if they release any of those guys, I just don’t see it happening.

Well personally I find that very frustrating if that's true. Neither of those guys were any good last year, and both have gotten worse this year. Both are over 32. 

There has to be someone else in the organization that can be slightly better than what they are providing (which is nothing)

Losing 6 of 7 games to teams including the Jays and Rays. No better time than now

I can handle struggling against Houston, Boston, and Yanks.  However 1-4 against Toronti and TB is sad.

The organization has notoriously been soft on accountability.

Accountability in sports is a pretty dumb narrative.

Didn’t know you could summarize  Poutinjols statistical results in a picture...cool app.  Oh shit, I think I see his nasty negative WAR in there! See it, on the left, right under the cheese curd.

You totally get it. Nailed it.

And yes, I have tried Poutine and it’s tasty!!!

Yes it is. Not very healthy but damn good. I go to a place in Downtown LA called Smokes Poutine. They’re awesome.

Used to fly into Montreal and Toronto quite a bit. Had some great P.  Place in downtown Montreal called Shawarmaz was the best I’ve ever had...they rolled me out of that place a couple times.

I was born in Montreal. I’ve been in that place in the middle of winter eating poutine and drinking conac. Great food.

Small world.  Enjoyed some good food there.  Garde Mange (sp?) has some great seafood/ Lobster Poutine. This is really getting me hungry, might need to go to In n Out to  get some fries, Store to get some Curds and brown gravy sauce and mix me up a back woods version tonight.

My cousin runs a food truck that specializes in Poutine. He’s headed to the Poutine food festival.

Poutine is almost as good as Putang...

 

 

 

I said almost....ok that was tacky

I could eat both at the same time. Never tried it that way though.

Yee haw...

 

Its late enough we can get away with this conversation...right?

I mean its a school night.

Of course there would have be a hockey game on at the same time to make it worthwhile.

Looks like we are really going to savor that win over the Rays on Sunday.

Well it is a good thing the season is 162 games.  If you think there is a chance that either of those teams finish above the Angels in the standings, I will put my money where my mouth is.  Pick the wager, any amount, The Angels will finish ahead of both of those teams in the standings this year.

A $25 gift card to Five Guys should cover your first few bites.

Trout is no longer the “best” baseball player in the world.

Three innings, no hits.

Skaggs is going to have to pitch -1 ER to win.
