That’s Beast Man and Man-E-Faces if I remember correctly.

You are correct. My favorite side character was Evilseed, who was created by the father of one of my best friends.

I have a theory on Eppler’s comments and Arte’s “All In” mentality:

WHAT IF, Arte and Eppler know they are getting Cole? Eppler stated we have room to add multiple players with $20+ mil a year contracts, due to the fact that Cozart is gone.

So they are now getting Cole, and are trying to Add Rendon/Donaldson and potentially Madbum/Price/Ryu etc. 

Basically, Cole gave them some type of acknowledgment that he’s ready for Anaheim. It then allowed the Angels to make that trade involving Cozart and our first round pick with confidence. 
 

They now have more flexibility PLUS Arte’s “All In” mentality to pursue the other top tier free agents. This is my hopeful Halo attitude speaking. 

I wonder if their meeting with Boras today included that. Maybe Boras told Eppler "he wants to come to Anaheim, but wants Rendon or someone to do so as well". Thus making Eppler say "What if I cleared Cozart's salary and went heavy after Rendon and/or Ryu/Price". Boras then said "Let's see it".

What does it say that your buddy's dad named his character "evil seed"?

That’d be cool. Kawhi style.

Ive assumed them to be the biggest competition all along. Sadly.

Still kind of iffy on them, though. Id like to think with bellingers pending deal they arent big on a big contract, but thats just wishful thinking.

I seem to recall reading during the WS that Cole didn’t like hitting. But I might be imagining that. 

[TBailey]

I think since the Halos decided to “pursue” Rendon in some capacity, the Dodgers have decided to pursue Cole more “aggressively” in hopes that it pushes the Angels to spend more on Cole and shift the focus away from Rendon. Just my opinion though...

And that was WITH a trashcan.

As a dodger, how do you separate trash can banging noise from trash 'cans banging, making noise in the crowd?

Is this the longest thread in Angelswin history? Bye Cole. Good luck in NY. Can’t wait for the Angels to beat you in the playoffs.

I'm sure there are a lot of silly posts in this 52 page thread

$36 million to play one day a week. Fuck that.
