LA Times: Angels' Josh Hamilton says he's never struggled like this before

[Homebrewer]

Who said anything about Trout getting a home town discount? Arte will probably give him the moon.

So will a bunch of other teams, teams that are competing.

Some players want to win.

Trout strikes me as that type.

Is it?

That is what was said when I started getting on my soap box 5-6 years ago,

saying that this team wouldn't see another WS with Scioscia.

Over the top, and reactionary.

Delusional.

Players of Trout's caliber want to go to the playoffs and World Series.

They want to play in games where the whole world is watching.

Give me one reason that Trout would give this org a Home Town Discount like Weaver signed.

I thought you jumped on your soapbox 10 years ago - at least that's what you said the other day.

The Angels won't wait for him to hit FA before they lock him up with a rather substantial contract. 

[Homebrewer]

Probably did...

and what do  you care asshat?

I'm an insufferable curmudgeon, yet you memorize my posts and take notes.

Trout is too young for Arte to throw billions at.

Maybe he will come back to Anaheim when he is 34.

Lol you wrote it yesterday. It doesn't take much of a memory or note taking to remember what you wrote. Especially because 99% of what you say is a variation on the same theme.

Riiiight. 

[Homebrewer]

NOT going there with you.

I will be sure to jot down the date I called you an asshat.

Just so I don't get that wrong in the future.

Have a miserable evening.

Go watch Scioscia and Company try to salvage one win against the Astro's.

I have some beer to bottle.

Cool story

"rather substantial" is a nice understatement there. It's going to be monster dollars.
