I lived there for decades. People want to live there because of the reputation it *had* and what the state holds on to for what it used to be, not for what it's *become*.

Financially, not all people want to rent, and flush their money down the toilet instead of owning and building some equity. 

For the price to OWN property, I don't think it's worth it. To VISIT? Fine, I'll visit. But I'll come back home and enjoy less traffic, less trash, less bums, better roads, more space and more affordable living, and better opportunity for building self worth financially.

To each his own, I *kind of* get it, but unless it's San Diego...California lost its desirability for me a very long time ago.

Let's be honest.  Renting isn't cheap in Cali either.  Yes, the weather is nice.  The traffic sucks, the homeless socks, their education sucks, and their politics suck. 

That was not the case in the 90s.

This replacement ump should get as much time to prepare as pitchers

Pretty pointless to debate with you. Material things aren't that important to me. Weather, things to do, desert, mountains, beaches and the convenience of everything here are more important to me. Renting has its pros too. I am sure you are smart enough to know that. I lived in San Diego(North County) for 2 years. Prefer Orange County. You just admitted that if you could afford the lifestyle you want in San Diego, you'd live there. That's what I was referring to earlier. If you all of a sudden won the lottery or your dream job was only available in San Diego, you'd move there. You are hating on California for a very certain reason.

I have seen bums in every place I've gone. Are there more here? Well, California is the most populous state so mathematically yes, more are here. I can't fathom people that have to deal with tornados, hurricanes, blizzards, flooding etc EVERY, yes, EVERY YEAR. People love to state that California has horrible earth quakes but the last bad one here happened in 1994. That much different than having to deal with natural disasters every year like pretty much most every other state. No thanks.

If I left it in San Fran why would I be an Angel fan?

*confused*

I know people who live there who are Angels fans. 

Btw, where do you live? 

[failos]

Haha getting screwed already

How much experience do you have with strikes to the head?

From reading his recent posts, I'm gonna go with: a lot.

Would have been better if you would have asked "how many balls..."

I just find it strange that he won't answer.

Ftr, I'm not one of those who absolutely loves California. We have a lot of problems here. My main issue is financial. I'm not really bothered by any of the other issues. 

[Jason]

Offense looks weak this afternoon 

[tdawg87]

14 K's.

Nice.

I was more interested in the potential experience with concussions than other potential implications you might be suggesting.

He’s probably certain we’ll roast him once he tells us where he lives.

 

My problem with CA is traffic, but FastTrak has served me well. Cost of living sucks, too.

Nice.

Just adding to that major league lead. I will have to google the last team to lead the league in strike outs while winning a world series.

[bloodbrother]

Damn. Trying to squeeze another inning out of Sandoval? Surprising

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Herget in a close game?

Which is probably true, pretty much anywhere he lives, unless its Rihanna's guest house for her occasional pleasuring.

As someone who was about like 4th or 5th generation Orange County and went to UCLA, but who has since lived in Chicago (grad school) and now NYC, California does have its flaws that I wouldn't have known if I hadn't lived other places.  That said, I can't wait to come back (will just be a while [edit: for reasons*] that have nothing to do with wanting or not wanting to be there). 

[Angelsjunky]

Sandoval still in, walks batter. Maddonomics at work.

Any urban area in the country has high cost for living.  Even Boise is expensive as fuck.

I'm ok with it but walking the lead off guy is a stupid strategy in my opinion

Loup/Tepera likely not available today I'd imagine. Definitely not ideal

lol @ Barria 

[TrumBomb]

Walking the lead off 9 hole hitter is not ideal
